on last Monday evening and heard the
candidate of the Leeompton Democracy,
VIM. Fl. Dimmick, make speech. Ho
took the floor and after laundering and
stammering along for some time, finally
succeeded in telling what he had to say.
To my great surprise | found him thor
ough Leconptoni>t. He was in favor Of the
English bribe bill In short, be was en-
tirely in favor Of the Kansas policy Of the
Administration. His speech, upon the
whole, was one of the most inconsistens
and ungram m atical tha: ever heard ut

nothing left for US, the Anti Lecou rton
Democracy, to do, but to put our shoul-

Sound Corn 1!

We were handed on Thursday last, by
Silas L. Drake, E>q. stalk of Virginia
Corn, grown in the garden Of r. S. Sta
pies, of this Borough, ID feet high. We
tied it to tree in front of our office, and
said that it couldn't be beat But on Fri.
day, Mr.. Jacob II. Fetherman, of Ham
ilton, "a good, sound corn, Anti Lecomp-
ton Democrat, by the way) brought US a
stalk of equal hight. on which was pro-
digious ear of corn This we TIED up by
the side of the other, and declared that
though cornstalk NUN Der one, was deci

and produce no fruit thereon: therefore
must it succumb to corn stalk puInber

of all men.
We trust our friends on the other side
Of the house will acknowledge the corn.
9 Tie call for the anti Lecon pton
Meeting was heartily responded to. Al
a reasonable hour the Court House was
nicely filled with men Of all parties.
The meeting was ably addressed by
CHAs. ALBRIGHT, esq, and Doctor SHOE

in regard to Popular Sovereignty. The
Doctor made very fine appearance, and
is in manner thorough gentleman, anG
gives great satisfaction TO all who have
seen aud talked with hin.
He is firm Democrat aud stands with

He is only induced to take the field

many Democratic friends in our County
and will receive, we trust, heavy vote
FROM them. If We can predict snyithins
from what we hear and see-the Doctors
prospect Of election is certainly fair. He
will carry Wayne and Carbon counties
from five hundred to one thousand ma

A yankee snake-chsrmer.

A correspondent of the South Carolinias,
at the Sweet Springs of Virginia, thus men
tions an exhibition there by the snake
charmer.
"A tall, bony. Yankee-lo looking foreigner,
late from California, made his appearance
with box of snakes, vipers, etc. He col
lected a crowd around him, though at
respectful distance, and grasping with both
hands bunch of snakes, coiled them around
his neck and thrust them into his bosom, as
if they were strands of silk or cotton. The
twistings and turnings seemed to give him
pleasure, while the by-stsndeas were filed
with very Opposite emotions. He processes
to tame his savage friends By mesmerism,
and thus fights the rattlesnake with his own
weapon.
Some in the crowd suggested that he
should take wild. untamed snake and show
his power over il, which he agreed TO do
for twenty-five dollars The sum was
readily subscribed, and rattlesnake, caught
the day before, was soon procured. The
operator examined him with some caution,
but presently turned the box over and threw
the venomous reptile upon the greensward.
He kicked him about several times, caught
him by the tail and threw him back and
forth, and finally seized him in the middle
and held him at arms length. The snake
turned bis head towards him, and their eyes
met. The latter fixed his gaze steadily upon
the snake, and kept it so for several min
utes, when he suddenly coiled it around his
neck, and thrust it into his bosom, as be had
done the others. and the snake seemed do
cile. Two days after be repeated his ex-
pertinent for twenty dollars, on large rat
tlesnake which had just been caught, and
with similar results. A crowd of ladies,
gentlemen and children on the piazza of the
hotel witnessed the singular exhibition. Il
was painful TO behold, though the individual
seemed to have the most entire confidence

An Incident in the Life OF q Female
Medical Student,

One OF the English journals gives q very
interesting account of the career of DR..
Elizabeth Blackwell. written by her sister.
This lady, with two of her sisters, support
ed their mother and family, after their
fathers death. While q student in the
University of Medicine at Geneva, n. Y,
where she commenced her career, charac-
teristic incident occurred. The students
had invited her to take her place among
them, and pledged themselves, ''individu-
ally and collectively" that no act of theirs
should ever cause her to regret the step.
Prom her first admission to the college
until she left it, she made it an invsriable
rule to pass in and out without taking any
notice of the students-going straight to her
seat, and never looking in any ether direc-
ton than to the President, or on her note
book. The subject of one lesson happened
to be particularly trying. and while the lee
turer was proceeding with his demonstra-
ton, folded paper, evidently note. was
thrown down by somebody in one of the
upper tiers behind her, and fell upon b .
arm, where it lay, conspicuously white, upon
the sleeve of her dress. She felt, instinct
lively, that this note contained some gross
mpertinence-that every eye in the build
ing was upon her-and that, if she meant
to remain in the college, she must repel the
insult then and there, in such way as to
preclude the occurrence of similar set.
Without moving or raising her eyes from
her notebook, she continued to write, as
though she had not perceived the paper;
and when she had finished her notes, she
slowly lifted the arm on which it lay, till
she had brought ii clearly in view of every
one in the building-and then. with the
slightest possible turn of the wrist, she
caused the offensive missive to fall upon the
floor. Her action, at once protest and an
appeal. was perfectly understood by the
students and ir an instant the amphithea-
tire rang with their energetic applause. min
gled with Kisses at her cowardly assailant.
Throughout this scene she kept her eyes
constantly fixed upon her notebook, taking
no more apparent notice of this welcome
than she had done of the
unwelcome aggression that had called it
forth. But her position in the College was
made from that moment, and not the slight
est annoyance of any kind was ever again
attempted throughout her stay. On the
contrary. sincere regard. at once kind and
