Rattlesnakes.

The editor of the Philadelphia Journal shows a remarkable familiarity with rattle snakes, and his authority on this subject will not hereafter be questioned. He refers to the recent horrible death of 8 woman in Bath, (N~ Y. from the bite of ths venemous crea- ture, and expresses the opinion that this result might have been averted by the use of preven- titives which are almost always within reach. The Journal says
 We have seen good deal of this reptile and have repeatedly known persons who have beeu badly bitten, to recover without the aid of any medical men. Perhaps the most remarkable case of recovery from the bite of this snake is that of MT. Dean, the surveyor of the large Bingham estate ill Northern Peursylyanla. While far in the dense woods, more than hal1 a days walk from any habitation, he was bit: ten upon the aeshy part of the leg; close to a vein, and ill moment afterward was seized with the most agonizng pains.

CONVENT Sleeping UprigM-At the Convent of Poor Cares, (BrusseIs) the nuns never lie down. but sleep upright went" says the author of Flemish Interiors" up a narrow, corkscrew, stone staircase, into their cells, and Saw their extraordinary beds th,y consist of a hard and almost cylindrical mat tress, stuffed with straw, about three feet long, at right angles, to which is fixed an equally hard and upright mattress of straw, (pailasse, ) to support the bacs. There is no pillow, nei- ther are there sheets, and only one small thin blanket A basin and ewer of water stood on the ground, and the sleeping habit hung on a peg behind the door. There was no other fur- niture.< A small window opened on the gar- den, and the honeysucke which embowered it, gave something of a cheerful aspect to the de- nuded little dormitory.
 They rise at halfpast four o'clock, are al- lowed only five minutes to wash and dress, and go down to chapel, where they pray and nedi- tate till half past ive when their first mass is said this is always at fixed hour, and is fol- lowed by one, and sometimes two more After these, they remain at chapel till half past II Their first meal, which they call dinner IS at half past l2, and consists entirely of herbs,v g. etables, rice. eggs, &c.

 very particular, but even this is ascetic enough to startle most secular persons.

THE ASSEMBLY OF THE DEAD.-Dr. Reed, a traveller through the highlands of Peru, is said to have found lately, in the desert of AL coama, the dried remains of an assemblage of human beings, five or six hundred in number, men, women, and children, seated in semicir- cle, as when alive, staring into the burning waste before them. They had not been bu- ried life had not departed before they thus sat around :; but hope was gone the Spanish invaders were at hand, and Lo hope being left, they had come hither to die: They still sat immoveable in the dreary desers dried like mummies by the effect of the hot air and still kept their position sitting mp as in solemn council, while Ger the Areopagus silence broods everlasting.

Exchange Bank Money

We do not know what will be
the result Of the call by the hvesti'
eating Committee nron the people
OF The State 10 make a return TO
the Clerks of their respective
County Courts of the amount Of
notes OH the Exchange Bank held
by them. Up to the present time
the amount returned TO the Clerk
Of this county,is SlS03, and we
know of about $40 more yet to be
reported. The amount returned in
Davidson county is less than $751;
600; in Rutherford about the same;
in Bedford about $500, and in
Wa rren about ST leo. These arr
the only returns We have seen.--
The McNIinnville New Era thinks
the amount returned in Warren
is nothing like what was in circu-
lation in that county, and adds:
"The people can see no benefit
they are likely to derive from this
registry, aud they have put them
selves to no trouble to register
them" We fear this feeling will
prevail 10 such an extent through
put the State as TO defeat the OBJ
iect Of the committee in that par

Cotton--The sales during the present week
have been somewhat larger than those of last
/ week, but We have no improvement TO report
in prices. The receipts continue light, holders
manifesting no disposition TO force the il
cotton upon the market, preferring, indeed to
wait events, which they hope will bring
about reaction in their favor. The extremes
OF the market may bequoted at 7@l0.
Tobacco--The receipts are very light from
the fact that the crop has been brought to mar
ket, with the exception of few hogshsads
scattered over pretty wide extent of terrific
| ry. The sales during the present week sum
up only a few hhds. Dealers pay very fair pri-
ces for all that is offered.
From t he growing crop we have very ia
vorable adyiles. The prospect now is that
there will be large yield. The planters IN
Virginia state that there il most satisfactory
stand of tobacco in that State, and the pros
pect at present looks to heavy crop.
Professionally dullness which has char
acterized the bacon market for two or three
weeks past still reigns in that department. of
trade. We hear OF no demand except for choice
hams. Dealers are paying. frem wagons &c
for shoulders, Taos for hams, the latter figure
for asstfictly choice article, and 81 @S4 for
clear sides. From store an advance OF 14@1
is demanded on these quotations.
There is very little demand for lard, and
we renew our quotations at 9cin whisky bar
rels, and 81 IN fuA bound packages.
Grain aud Flour--The wheat market can
hardly be said to have opened, though good
deal has been sold for delivery during the pres
entmenth. The market opened at G5@70 for
red, and 70@75 for whites which dealers con-
time to take all that is offered
Accounts from the harvest continue contra
dictory, though the yield is certainly turning
out much better than was anticipated before
the wheat was thresbed. 1t is Ilul able, how
ever, that the crop of this year will fall con-
siderably short OF that of last year, though
not enough, we apprehend, to alect prices to
any considerable extent.
The stock of old wheat in farmers hands is
computed 10 be very heavy, many having
held back their crop in anticipation Of an adj
vance in prices, based on the supposticn that
the incoming crop would be snort one. E.
ven if this should bo the case, we think that
there is very little probability Of prices going
up. Independent OF the stock of grain in far
mer,' hands, the supplies in all the principal
marts in the country exceed those of last year,
while there has not been pfoportionabls in
crease in the exports. The receipt at tide Wa :
ter by the New York caLals from the lst of
January to the 10Th of June, inclusive, COM |
pare as follows with the same time last year:
