A Mousr DEvouRING SNAKE.-About two
years ago Mr. VIM. Donnely the gentlemany
Postmaster at the Blarsyillc Intersection, " est
moreland county. received as present ir.m u
friend, two large ratlesnnkes, which he preserved
in box covered with glass. After keeping them
for some, it was but natural to suppose that the
pets" should be "hungcred.' Acting upon
this idea, and being under the impression that
snakes would eat only living food, Mr.. Donnelly
caught four or five mice, and Put them in the cage
with their Shiny companions, to be, as was then
supposed, devoured ut n single gulp. But, to tho
establishment of the beholders the mice, for sever
al days, corerted over the snakes with seeming
zest and enjoyed themselves las well as could be
expected under the circumstances" Finally, one
Of the mice. being gnawed with hunger, commenc-
ed gnawing At the snakes During this operation.
his snakeship would sometimes remain perfectly
quiet; but, on other occasions, would raise his
head, and dart forth his forked tongue, at which
time our small rodent quadruped," would make
straight coat tailor rather tail without the
coat into the corner. But when the snake re-
turned to its quiescent position the mouse partook
again Of its dainty meal and really continued this
operation until it eat much Of the flesh as to
leave part Of the back bone and several of the
ribs on either side exposed, from which the snake
finally died.-Fihsburg Chronicle.

seises upon the theories Of two prominent De~o-
cradle statesmen for the perpetual exclusion Of the
Sonth from the Territories.
All that the South has reaped, then, from the
agitation of the slavery question, is the absolute
certainty that TO more Slave States will ever be
admitted into the Union. All parties Mt the North
are or soon will be. united in the maintenance Of
the doctrine Of Squatter Sovereignty in the Terri
tories--and the South. by reason of numerical
inferiority, will be powerless to resist. Thus, the
question Of slavery in the Territories il destined
soon to become an extinct issue. 1t has been de-
cided against us. The South, unwisely. ms VIC
think, was led by Mr.. Douglas into the contest
