A MODERN LAoCooN-TERRIBLE CONFLICT WITH A
SNAKE-NARROw ESCAPE FROM DEATH OF HIS KEEP
ER.-lt was only week or two since that we an
nounced the arrival at Salem, from Africa, of a
monster boa constructor, in size one Of the largest
ever brought to this country Its length in its quiet
state, was full thirty feet with capabilitv of ex-
tension, when in motion, to nearly forty feet. In
its largest part it was some twenty inches in cir
cumterence.
This snake was purchased by Mr. Goodwin bro
ker, of this city, and placed on exhibition at Hor-
ticutural Hall, School street. wherei it proved unite
attractive. Last week, however, his snakeship ex-
hibited symptoms of illness in the form of intiiges-
ti0n, and upon one occasion, Mr.. Bishop the keep
er, removed a number of feathers of an animal
which the reptile had swallowed from its throat
On Sunday the snake was treated to a warm
bath, and MIR. Bishop again attempting to re-
move some obstructions from its throat, when the
snake suddenly exhibited signs of hostility err cted
its head, seized Mr.. Bishop by the hand and COM
menced to coil its enormous length about the body
OF the keeper, in order to crush him to DEATH The
other attendants, in the first moments of alarm re-
treated. but recalled by the cries for help of the
imprisoned keeper, they armed themselves with
clubs, and commenced to beabor the snake in or
der to induce him to release his hold
No impression was made, however, and one coil
WAS already around the body of the unfortunate
rescue with large hammer With this he struck
the snake two violent blows upon the head, which,
together with violent choking about the throat,
induced the reptile to unoose its coil, when Mr.
Bishop at set free from his horrible impris-
oHment. The snake soon began to sink under the
treatment which it had received and in two hours
was dead Its remains were purchased by Mr..
Vickery, OF Lynn, who will have the skin stuffed
for preservation.-Boston Trareller FEB. l.

MEETING OF New York CHAMBER OF CON-
MERcE-MEDTAFIoN IN CHINA.-At a meeting of the
New \ ork Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday,
earnest remonstrances were made against the at
tempt put forth in the Legislature to tell railroads
the carrying Of freight and also to estblish pro
rata freight bill. 1t was declared that the Grand
Trunk Road would take the business if the New
FORK roads were tOled, and that if pro rata bill
was passed the railroads would be compelled to
abandon altogether carrying any through freight
A letter was read from Mr.. Aspinwall of Boston,
relating the action of the Boston Board of Trade
requesting mediation in behalf of the Chinese, and
asking that the Chamber should ask our govern
ment to offer its mediation with the three powers in
behalf of the Chinese.
A committee appointed to prepare a memo
rial in accordance with the proceedings of the
Boston Board. 1T was said that war would de-
range our commerce, and large tribute imposed
upon the Chinese would cause taxes upon our COM
merce.
Mr.. Low said the Chinese are poor, ignorant
people, not competent to defend themselves proper
ly against these two powers. He smoke of the Emo
lish trade in coolies now carried on and suggested
that some OF our abotionsts devote their attention
to that subject instead of troubling themselves
about the negroes in the South.

SPIRITUALGsM IN THE UNITED STATEs--The "Fourtl
Annual Spiritual Register, for 1850, contains some
statistics which indicate rapid increase of beiev
ers in spiritualism in this country and elsewhere
and corresponding increase of spiritual literature
According to the Register there are one million
hive hundred and thirty-seven thousand believers in
the United States, and sixty-three thousand in the
Canadas, Cuba and South America making total
of 100000 in America. In the State of New York
there are 420, 900, in Ohio 1000 in Illinois 100
600, in Massachusetts 100000, in Michigan and
Wisconsin 10000 each, in Maine $4,000, in Missouri
$4,000, and in Pennsylvania 100000 The believers
in the Southern States are less numerous than in
the Eastern or Western. South Carolina and Arkan-
sas are set down at 5000 each, and Kansas Nebras
ka, Oregon and New Mexico at 1000 each Every
State and Territory is represented as having be-
levers. Florida, containing fewer than any other
is set down at 900.
1t is claimed that during the year there has been
an increase of 100000 Besides this great number
are claimed five million "nominal believers
The compiler Of these statistics gives no authori
y for his estimates, and it is probable that they are
chiefly founded on conjecture.
According to the same authority there are 236
trance" speaking mediums in this country, and
3O3 ''test," "healing," and other mediums, 1872
spiritual preachers speakers, 500 places where
spiritual meetings held regularly or occasion
ally, 600 diferentbooks and pamphlets spiritual
ism, and thirty periodicals, with 100000 circula-
