\ SNAKE CuAEMER.--A correspondent OF the
Richmond Dispatch thus writes of a snake charmcr
VINO, at present, is amusing the visitors at the
Montgomery (Va) White Sulphur Springs:
"a snake charmer has been amusing the visitors
at the Springs. He halls from California, and is
on the best terms of peace and friendship with all
sorts of snakes His countenance accords we'll with
his vocation. He adorns himself with rattlesnakes,
AMI diversifcs the drapery by INTERVIEWING with it
an adder, black, or few copper-heads! There
are some men so horribly like them that they
the copper -heads) the more detestabe for the
resemblance. Our snake charmer, however, seems
to have 10 favortes, but bestows the fondcst
caresses upon them all.
ale kisses alike the copperhead, the rattlcsnake
and the adder, and hides them in his bosom as
acctonatey as he does those that are not venomous.
1t was deemed that he had extracted the tangs
Of the Geath-dealing serpents, but to prove that
this was not so he took charge of two that the
barber had in cage, that had been recently
caught in the woods. He reduced them to
submission and took them to his bosom, placing
them under his vestments precious things.
kitten was produced and one ofhis pet rattesnakes es
was made to bite it for the qualification of the
spectators Poor kitty soon sickcncd and died,
whereupon the charmer was voted no humbug,
though he was regarded sort Of monster L

REMARKABLE CURE OF A LuNAT1c.

Dr. Thayer performed surgical operation on a
lunatic-a man who was thrown from a wagon
about FIVE years since, and had his skull fractured
against fence take, the Injury bringing on vio
lent arrangement, which became permanent, lie
was taken to the lun&tc Asylum, where he re-
mained considerable time, until be was discharg
ed as incurable, and finally rcnanded to the jail Of
this county where he has remained for about
year past. His wife engaged the services of DR.
Thaycr to attempt the cure of her unfortunate hus
band. After examining the case, Dir, Ihaycr
found a portion of the skull much depressed and
resolved to remove it. On entering the cell with
his assistants for that purpose, on Friday, the man
became greatly enragcd and poured out volleys
of exeerations upon Dr.. Thayer, as though he was
aware Of tie business he came on. ..rT
At the order Of jailor Frazce, the iunatic laid
down on his bed, when lie was immediately con
fined and eopious doses Of chloreom administered,
when he became perfectly inSonsible. The de-
pressed portion Of the skull about the size of a
quarter dollar, which had been pressing on the
brain, was then taken out and found to have thick
ened considerably one side. The head was then
bound with a bandAge saturated with water, and
the patient left to recover from his stupor
On Saturday morning he awoko arose from his
bed and walked up and down the ROOM perfectly
rational. He complained that the handages, which
for some reason that lie didn't understand had
been put on his head, hurt him. and asked the at
tendant if they might be loosencd. As soon as re-
lieved from the pressure, he lay down on his bed
and fell asleep, On again awaking he was asked
if he would like his wife to him. She had a
child q few days before the accident Of his falling
from the wagon, and he now expressed q doubt Of
her being able to get out Of bed. On her entering
he was astonished to find her so well after her re
cent illness, and feared that her health would
suffer from exposing herself so early
| He asked after the child and wished to see it,
but was put off with an cyasivc answer, until it
was considered advisable to explain matters to him
He then commenced taking about things that
happened FIVE years ago as if having occurred but
yesterday. 1t was long time before he could be
made aware of the fact Of his long Illness and in
| sanity, and when at last convinced Of it, stated
that he had recollection of anything other than
a misty kind Of dream about bis beirg sick. He
recommended his wife to go home to her friends un
til he was WELL as her stay in Clcayeland would be
expensive, and talked perfectly rational on all
other subjects. He is now in fair way OF recov-
ery and, unless inflammation surcrvencs, will proba-
bly, do we'll C7caccland COhio) Hr"H ..

TIE UTAH LEGISLATURES AND PoLYGAMT.-
VIM j. Osborn, 'Gcntile," has been elected to
the Utah Legislature from Greene River county,
by 135 majority over his Mormon opponent. 1t
is thought he will be the only gentle elected to
the Legislature He was the democratic candidate
and the meeting which nominated him unanl-
mously passed the following resolutions: 49,
Resolved, That union of church and State,
for political or any other purposes, is dangerous
and subversive Of republican institutions.
Resolved, That we view the Presidents procla-
nation pardoning the Mormons for sedition and
treason as Il ma9naninlous measure and calculated
to effect most salutary ob ect, the return to their
homes as loyal ctizens Of this deluded people.
Resolved, That we look upon polygamy as prac--
ticed in this Territory, moral, social, and
political evil, and entirely in opposition to civil
liberty and the institutions and principles OF this
government
Resolved, That we pledge candidate for
representative, VIM. j. Osborn, Esq, if elected, to
use his efforts to have all laws the statute book,
at variance with the principles herein declared,
repealed
Green River county is the only in the Ter
ritory where the gcntiles are believed to be in the
majority and Mr. Osborn is the first Gentle elected
to the Legislature since the organization Of the
Territory.
