A DRUNKEN RACE HoRsE.-The London Era says
that prior to the late for the Durham Handicap
Little Agnes, the winner had half gallon of strong
beer given her. and the result of the race led John
Osborne to remark, that he wished he had given her
similar dose before the Northamptonshre Stakes.
Little Agnes penalzed for this victory. started for
the Borough Handicap, at Catterick Bridge, on the
following Wednesday, on the "teetotal principle
and did not win. Before Breeze started for the
North Durham Handicap, the following week, her
party thinking probably to work greater wonders
with whisky than John Osborne had done with strong
beer, gave her pint of that liquor. She however,
was beaten at the last turn and without being run
against tumbed her head, after passing the post.

DECIDEDLY SNAkY.-The Cincinnati Gazette earns
from citizen of Vanceburg, Lewis county, Ky that
the 4th inst. Mr.. JAS Wright, an old citizen of
Cincinnati, but resident for some time past in the
former place, was bitten on the hand by rattle
snake He was about four miles in the woods at the
time, and in his terror ran all the way to the town,
where he died next morning from the effects of the
poison. 1t is stated that his head and body were
covered with spots like those the snake, but not
content with this strange phenomenon, the Gazette
says:
In addition to the spots referred to- there was
picture of the snake itself-perfect in shape and
color, and distinct as if daguerreotyped thereex
tending from the point on his hand where the angs
had struck, up the arm to the shoulder, and then
down the eide to the groin. the truth of this
informant assures us, not only himself but some four
five other citizens. who saw it, can positively tes
tify.
That serpent must have been an artist, and had
peculiar knack Of making his mark.
