ONE OF THE "SNAIx. An excitement
was occasioned in Salem, last week, by the
escape of two o. the boa constructors, recent
ly imported into that city. The excitement
was suddenly renewed on Thursday by the
finding of one of them in the rear of the barn
on the premises OF Mr.. Pond where the snakee
were kept. His snakeship was only about one
hundred and fifty feet distant from the place
where he had been confined. AS another
snake is abroad, the grass plots and shrubbery
are still eyed suspiciOusly by the Salem ladies.

The YELLOW FEVER AT NEW YoRK.-The
ship Competitor, from Havana, by way Of
Key West, came into port July 26th, in bal
last. without any sickness on board. Within
forty-eight hours of her arrival at Lower
Quarantine, three of her crew were seized
with yellow fever and sent to the Marine Hos
pitAl, The period of incubation of yellow fe-
yer being five days, it is evident that these ca.
ses must have arisen from infection on board
OF the vessel. What is remarkable in this in
stance is, that these cases should have appear
ed at period so remote from the vessels de-
parture from an infected port. This capri
cious manifestation Of yellow fever is unac-
countable-au shows what mysterious prop.
critics belong to this dread disease.
Stevedores engaged in discharging vessels
that come into port without sickness, contin.
ue to be taken down with the fever. This
shows that the poison is packed away with
the cargo and is liable to make Its appearance
whenever the goods are stirred about. On
Wednesday, lad who was a tender on the
stationary engine at Quarantine wharf, and
who did not come in contact, directly, either
with the vessel or cargo, sickened, and is now
very i'll.

A PROFITABLE TREE.-There is now standing,
on the farm of William Eaton, in Auburn, an
elm tree, from the top of which the father of the
present owner cut two cords of solid fire wood
forty-ive years since. The present proprietor cut
from it, twenty years ago, between one and two
cords, and year ago last Fall cut away the dead
limbs and trimmed it out, getting a good hand.
some load of wood. The top Of the tree, at this
time, would make a good cord-.makng, in alp
full five cords of wood, exclusive of the trunk
which girts twelve feet. Mr.. E. thinks, that, for
profit, this is a hard tree to beat.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ''0LD LOG CABIN"
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 9th states that
there is reason to believe that the residence Of
Gen. Harrison was set on FIRE by one of the Irish
servant girls in the family. Almost everything
was lost. A little clothing and furniture, and a
few paintings, were saved, but the many relics Of
the old hero, such as banners, military decora-
tions, &C., were destroyed. And the public has
sustained a great loss in the destruction of a
mass Of valuable correspondence and papers
reaching from Gen. Harrison's first entry into
public life till the untimely close Of his career
These papers were stored in one Of the garrets,
and only basketball or two were saved.

FuLFlLLMBNT OF A DREAM.-A man named
Edward Rice was killed on Wednesday, at
the machine shop of Franklin Reed, in Can
ton, by the bursting of grndstone. When
a messenger went to inform the family of the
occurrence, he was met at the door by Mrs.
Rice, who said, "You need not say word !;
you need not say world dreamed all about
it last night" Although no report of the
casualty had reached her, the mysterious pre-
monition of her sleeping hours suddenly
rushed upon her mind with all the force of
reality, and no words were required to in
form her of the fatal event.
