GARiDALpi's PRooREss.-The substance of
the news from Italy by the last steamer is,
that Garbaldi was making considerabl pro.
gress in the attempted revolution in Sicily.
The Neapultau Kingdom is divided into two
portions, one Continent ii, the other the island
of Sicily, situated southwest on the Mediter.
ranean, aud separated from the Continent by
the Straits Of Messina. IL was in this island
portion Of the kingdom that the people rose
against their tyrannicsl rulers, and Garibaldi,
with about 1000 volunteers, started from
Genoa to their assistance against the profess.
ed wishes eff the Sandman Government which
will be the Government most likely to be ben.
Gifted By the success Of the expedition, as the
cry of the people of Palermo is "ltnly and
Victor Emmanuel" Garibald succeeded in
etlectiug q landing, and, according to the
latest reports, had seized upon several impor
tant places. The most significant fact is, that
the people everywhere on the island hail his
approach Us deliverer, and this will furnish
him with the material aid required in con.
test OF this kind. The people of Naples had
caught the fame oil insurrection, and the indi.
cations are, that the first intelligence Of his
successes will be followed by diversion in
that quarter, which will greatly strengthen
his cause in Palermo, and may spread the
revolution from the island to the Continent.
The Governments OF France and England, it
is said are disposed to let the Sicilians and
Neapoltans fight it out, without any interven-
ton from Austria, the Pupal States, or any
other European power sympathizing with the
King of Naples. If this be so, there will be
better hopes of the success OF the Sicilian rev.
olutienists. The movement is q most impor.
tant one, aud its progress will be watched
with interest.

POISONED BY SNAKE.-The Abbville
Is. CD South, of the 18th instant, says that
some three weeks ago son of Peyton w.
Bailey, residing near Sylvan Grove post
Office, in Dale county, being in the woods
with his dog supposed by the barking Of
the animal that he had pursued q rabbit to
hole under a clay root. Putting in his
hand to feel for the rabbit he was bitten
by snake which had taking refuge there.
The lad, feeling his danger, bound his arm
tightly with one of his suspenders above
the wound, aud ran for home, but fell from
the effects of the poison before he reached
there. His cries, however, attracted the
attention of the family, and be was borne
home and whisky freely administered, until
it produced its usual effect. His arm, how
ever, below the baudage swelled turned
black and burst, and after living two days
he expired. The snake was dug out and
dragged from its den, and found to be a
very old rattlesnake, full of poison, large
quantities being forced from its mouth by
the pressure of the rope around his neck,
used to draw him out.

A SAD AccIDENr.-1be drowning OF Mrs.
Ii. G. Neal and daughter, OF Parkersburg
Va, by the loss of the steamer H. f. Sass, on
the Mississippi, few days since, has been
published. Her husband was the mate OF the
steamer Homer, which had sunk in Red river
few days before, and they had narrowly es'
capped drowning then. The Memphis Bulletin
says:
"He then took passage in the r. +. Sass,
the sinking Of which We have lately recorded.
When that boat struck the snag he was in
his room and rushed out into the hall to see
what had occurred, followed by his wife and
eldest child. On finding out the cause OF the
disaster, be left his wife in the hall, and re-en-
tered the room for the purpose of rescuing
his infant, which still reposed there in uncon.

Immediately returned and taking in his arms

around the waist, remarking, "Come on,
Molie, we are safe" He hurried them into

upon this second escape from o watery grave
and the rescue from the same fate of his dear
wife and children. What must have been his
agony of mind when he discovered, alas too
late, that the woman he had saved was not
his wife, but Mrs. Doney, of New Orleans.

THE FRUIT CRoP.-The season has reached
the point, when we may predict, with tolera-
able certainty, the fruit crop for the year.
We have examined a number of apple, pear
and peach orchards, and have to this conclu-
sion: That the apple crop will be fair one,
the blossoms having suffered comparatively
little from the late frosts, the heavy rains,
and the severe blows. That the pear crop
will not be more than half yield, owing to
these reasons. That peaches will be pretty
abundant in old orchards, while in the young
orchards there will be almost total failure.
The Reybold orchards of Delaware, we learn,
promise a full crop. That there will be an
abundance OF cherries, while the strawberry
beds affords uAdoubted evidence Of bountiful
yield.
Altogether we regard the fruit indications
as highly promising not even excepting the
peach which has in various journals been pro-
claimed to be utterly destroyed Strawber-
ries in the heighth OF the season, will sell at
six cents quart.-Germanto,c Telegraph.

Jefferson county, which had reached depth
of ll8 feet last week. In several instances,
gas has escaped with such violence as to throw

run to avoid drenching. Much confidence
