INSECTS AND THEIR HUMAN PREY-In Afri-

frequently attacked by it and out of three hun

parasite, not more than one-sixtieth part of an
inch in length, and very slender, and exists on
low, muddy shores. This little intruder now
grows Immensely, and becomes the parent of
numerous offspring. 1t produces itching and a
craving sensation, and finally boil forms, and
as this breaks the head OF the animal 2rotrudes,
which is then caught and gently extracted
care being taken not to break it, otherwise se-

Medical writers describe no less than abont
twenty varieties of parasite, which infsst the

A MODERN LAGOON. TERRIBLE CoNFLIcT
WITH a SNAKE.-It was only week or two
slnce that we announced the arrival at Salem,
from Africa, OF a monster boa constructor, in
size one of the largest brought to this coun-
try. Its length in IFS quiet state, was full thir-
ty feet, with capability CT extension, when in
}motion. TO nearly forty feet Ia its largest
part 1t was some twenty inches in circumference.
This suake was purchased by Mr.. Goodwin,
broker, OF this city, and placed on exhibition at
Horticultural hall, School street, where il pro-
we'd quite attractive. Last week, however, bis
snakeshiP exhibited symptoms of illness in the
! ioFin OF Indigestion, and upon one occasion. MIR
Bishop, the keeper, removed a number of feath-
ers OF an animal which the reptile had swallow
lowed, from its throat.
On Sunday the snake was treated 10 warm
bath, and Mr.. Bishop was again attempting 10
remove some distractions from its throat, when
the snake suddenly exhibited signs of hostility,
erected It's head. seized Mr.. Bishop BIZ the hand
and commenced to coil its enormous length a.
bout the body OF the keeper, in order to crush
him to death. The other attendants, in the first
moments oil alarm, retreated, but recalled by the
imprisoned keeper, they armed themselves with
clubs, and commenced TO belabor the snake in
order to induce him to release his hold.
No impression was made, however, and one
coil was already around the body of the unfor
tunate man, when a brother OF Mr.. Goodwin
came 10 the rescue with large hammer. With
this be struck the snake two violent blows upon
the head, which, together with violent cho-
king about the throat, induced the reptile to un-
loose its coil, when Mr.. Bishop was at once set
free from his horrible Imprisonment The snake
soon began TO sink under the treatment which
1t had received, and in two hours was dead
lis remains were purchased by Mr.. Vickroy, of
Lynn, who will have the skin stuffed for pres

AGE AND DEBILITY.

As old age comes creeping on, it brings with it
many attendant afirmities. Loss of appetite and
weakness impair the health, and want of activity
makes the mind discontinued and unhappy. In
where old age adds its influence, it is almost
impossible to add vigor and health, and although
many remedies have been tried, all have failed

The most complete victory in the
history of any party in any State lis that
achieved by the Republicans of Mich
igan. They have carried, as we have
already stated, every county in the
Lower Peninsula, and nearly every
county officer, every Senator except
one, every member of the House (pro-
bably) except FIVE, elected their State
officers and their electoral ticket by
more than twenty thousand majority,
and utterly exterminated the slave de-
mocrecy. Such an overwhelming re-
buke was never before administered to
any party as they have given that mis-
cradle faction.
In the verdict the people of Michi-
gan have just rendered upon the issues
presented to them by the leaders of the
doughface democracy, they have exhib-
tied in most favorable light the high
order of intelligence that prevails
amongst them; their great love of free
dom and justice, their adherence OF
everything looking towards treason,
their regard for the good name of the
State, and their attachment to the prin.
ciples of the Republican party. The
effect of the victory they have won,
will tell upon the prosperity ofthe State
for years to come. And if the men
whom they have elevated to power
prove true to their trusts, to the people
to the State and to the principles they
profess, the supremacy of the Republic
can party is secured for an indefinite
period.-Det. AdUertiser.

he says "the very first stage of the disease is
NEST always attended with languor drowsiness.
and if qunine is administered promptly and in full
doses it will relieve nearly every without any
other treatment His treatment is quinine in from
two to to ten gram doses, according to the age of
the patient, whenever il is possible to use it, with
wash of the chloride of potash for the throat and
cauterizstion when there is much liberation. But
he says in most cases be has ssen it was not posi-
bic to use qunne for the reason that there was too
much fever. or too great tenderness Of the stom-
aeh-in either of which class of quinine must
not be used. --~
de says also emetics and powerful purgative
medicines, such as mercurials. for example, must
absolutely be avoided Such treatment az this he
regards as fatal a. the disease in most instances
