A BIG "SNAIK."-Dr Bracket of this city was
out cunning few days since on the bluffs, when at
some distance from him, across the rayine, he per-
ceived snake moving in the bushes. He Immediately
raised his gun and fired at him. and then put across
for the reptile On approaching, however, his snake
ship made lunge at him, showing tremendous
length and amplitude of body and most horrid front.
He soon died, however, from the effects of the shot
which struck him about foot below the head and
the Doctor brought him as trophy of victory into
the city. On measurement be was found to be seven
feet five inches in length and nearly foot in grth,
This expansion was soon explained, however, for on
opening him preparatory to stutfiing his skin with
cotton, good sized rabbit was found inside, which
had the appearance of being recently swallowed.
The reptile was of the species known as the horned
adder its tail being tipped with horn about two
inches long. [Rock Island Advertiser,

Clark Librarian of the Bodeian Library spent few
days in this city, his return to England from tonrs

fortunately succeeding in getting upon the track,
followed it to the Conyents gate, and obtaining adj

Greek manuscripts which had been concealed in the
Convent for ages am not apprised of their nature
or value, except that they belong to the domain Of
ecclesiastical history and theology, and that the
learned Doctor attaches to them high value, and
wears the air of conqueror. Not such was his sue
cess at the Convent of st. Saba, between the Dead
Sea and Jerusalem. Dr. Clark had heard of valuable
Greek manuscripts being concealed in this solemn
adytum of superstition, and hoped to carry away as
much plunder as from the Coptc monastery, in which,
however, he was sorely disappointed, finding little
else than execrabe pictures and 900 skulls OF early
martyrs, alleged, all piled in one great heap in a
cavern in the rock which makes one side Of chapel.

THE RAIN AND THE CRops.-A friend in the lower
part of this county, in private note to the editor
says On Saturday night last we had the heaviest
rain ever saw fall 1t has done great damage to the
and other washed away. If the rain was general,
Madison county must have been injured hundreds of
thousands of dollars by loss of crops and damage of
land
In addition to the rain of Saturday night, we had
another pretty heavy one on Sunday night. The
rains, from what can learn, general, and have
doubtless done serious injury to the growing crops all
over the country. [Canton Qliss.) Citizen, 4th

of sports visited the hall during the continuance OF
the match, and many bets were made and lost upon
the result During the last three hours that Trainor
kept on the plank, he was completely out Of his
head and did not know where, he was. He, would

A HOUSE IN GLASS CASE. The London Art
journal says 1t will starte many to learn that
arrangements are in progress for covering with
glass or rather for putting into huge glass case,
the house in which Shakespeare was born, at STRAIT
ford-on- Avon. The houses on both sides have been
taken down, and the monument now stands alone.
The object of this course is to protect the house
against the effects of the weather, and the further
influence of time; we question: however, the taste
of the arrangement, and fancy it will be the step
from the sublime to the ridiculous.
