Disturbance at q Theater.

A serious disturbance has taken place in Verona.
The dramatic company at the Ristori Theater, re-
duced to extremes by the refusal OF the public to
attend any places of public amusement, made an
appeal to the charity of the inhabitants of the city
by the announcement of q representation without
admission tickets, but at which collection was to
be made during the performance for the benefit of
the almost destitute members of the company. All
the avenues to the theater were. towards o'clock
in the evening thronged with people. The police
expected that some demonstration would follow,
but did not know what form it would take About
1000 persons entered the house, deposited their
offerings in the plates which had been stationed in
various parts of the teater to receive the contri-
buttons of the audience, and waited till the band
struck off the overture when, as il in obedience to
raised and a general rush took place in the direc-
ton of the door. The comissaries of police, awed
by this unexpected movement, took to their heels,
and the dense multitude, issuing from the theater
defed in procession along the streets with shouts
of . Death to Austria Down with our tyrants
Long life to Victor Emanuel, our King!a The
march through the city saluted by the applause
of the popuaee, ana by an improvised illumination
from the windows of the houses. But the police
soon recovered from the stupor eccasioned by the
first surprise, and came down upon the spot with
reinforcement of numbers. A general engagement
took place; the civilians were charged in all direc-
tons with the bayonet; some ugly wounds were
given and received. A horse patrol was over
were disarmed but finally the tumult was quelled,
the crowd dispersed AID q number Of persons left
in the custody of the police. Demonstrations of
less serious character are of almost daily occur
in Venice and the other cities of the Venitian
provinces.

A Town on n Lake.

Rev. w. Smith, presiding elder of one Of the
Indiana conferences, gives the following account
of Morgantown in that State, one of the peculiari-
ties Of which is that it is built on lake:
We read of lefty set upon hill y but Nor
gantown, in my district stands upon lake. This
was not known for number of years after the
town was settled. The discovery was made BY
digging wells to procure full supply of water.
The supply Of water in the wells which had been
used failing n the dry season, few years since,
one of the citizens concluded to sink well deeper
and see if he could not strike stronger vein
When some thirty-tive or forty feet below the sur
face Of the earth, the man at work in the well sud
denly struck his pick through crust; the water
gushed up with such rapidity, that with difficulty
he was saved by the men at the windlass In few
moments the water was some fifteen feet deep in
the well.
In two OF three instances afterward, men were
near being lost by coming suddenly to this mex
haustible fountain of water Wells have been sunk
in different parts of the town, remote from each
other, and believe forty feet is the greatest depth
to reach this lake. Lead lines have been dropped
into several of these wells but no bottom has been
found. In digging down to this lake, they invar
ably pass through strata of sand, leaves and timber
resembling drift wood. This is some twenty feet
below the surface Of the earth. After passing
through these strata, n stratum of hard clay is
found, and when within some eighteen inches of
the lake, a hard crust is reached, which is sure
Indication that they near the water. When they
reach this crust, they commence wall thereon
carrying it to the top Of the well, then put down
large anger, and bore q hole, to the water, which
gshes up with great force filling the well from fif
teen to twenty feet in few minutes. When the
anger strikes the lake, the atmosphere bursts up
for a few seconds, producing a sound resembling
very much the blowing off Of steam from NJ engine.
have not given all the particulars of what has
been discovered of this mysterious lake. Enough
is known to settle il beyond doubt that the whole
town stands upon lake under ground

disembarrassed of one of its dead weights. If the
French troops are net withdrawn. from Rome, ii
will be from other motives than that Of personal
regard for thesPontiflcal Governments
The first effect of this eneyccal letter has been
to hasten the movement toward the anne Sation Of
his Holiness dominions in Central Italy to Pied
mont. We learn to-day that the Governments Of
France and England have each sent a note TO that
Of Piedmont, giving their consent to the annexation
OF Central Italy IN the manner pointed out by M.
dc Cavour In his late circular. The note was not
Joint one, for two reasons In the first place, the
British Cabinet does not wish TO be bound in its al
lance with France by written treaty; and ~ the
second place, there isa difference between the two
Governments as to the mode in which the people
of Central Italy shall decide their choice, France
universal suffrage, and England prop
erty qualification vote. Piedmont, OF course. will
decide this point and neither France nor England
will demur to the decision. Thus has the violence
and Incorporate language Of the Roman Govern
mcnt fastened its downfall as far as concerns
its temporal power; for Piedmont once aggrand-
ized by the addition Of Lombardy, the Duchies,
and the Romagna, the heaven Of liberty and indie
pendeuce will not be long in extending over the
rest of Italy. We may indeed safely predict that
the end Of clerical rule in Italy il close at hand,
and the Pope and his Cabinet would do well to
open their eyes to the fact. @

A Big Snake.

A party Of men from st. Joseph, NO.. while out
hunting in that vicinity, heard one Of their dogs
growl and then howl, short distance in thicket
and on running thither they found him in the coils
OF huge serpent. They soon killed the snake,
which measured over thirty feet in length The
poor dog was SO badly crushed that they had to
shoot him to put him out Of his misery. The above
from the Hannibal Messenger, of Saturday last is
correct, so far as it goes. The snake is undoubt-
edly the one that escaped from Mabie's Menagerie
last summer, in Kansas. 1t measured, instead Of
thirty feet fortytwo feet a-haIf inches in
length, and was twenty-seyen inches in creum-
ference around the largest part of the body. 1t
was killed ON the LIST instant, by Mr. Cliff and others
Of this city. The cries of Mr.. Cliffs dog first at
tracted his attention, and brought him to the spot
and having nothing with him but q double barreled
shotgun loaded with bird shot, he discharged both
loads at his snakeship, but without eecting much,
and which only caused the snake to tighten its
folds upon the poor dog.
About this time several others of the hunting
party came up, but Mr.. Cliff claimed the privilege
of killing the snake, and taking the rife from the
hands of one of his friends, fired The ball entered
the left eye Of the reptile and passed through the
brain. When the bali entered the snakes brain,
it instantly uncoied from the dog and raised its
head the full length of its body-oyer forty feet.
Those who Witnessed the death struggles Of the
snake, speak of them as being frighttul. 1t first
coiled itself up in heap about the size of hogs

and as it swayed it, bloody and mangled head first
to one side and then to the other, the party nEol-

The rberrille Sentinel j saturday last says:


on last Thursday evening, between and 8
O'Clock, shooting scrape took place between
Joseph Huussieau Alfred Brown and Josiah Brown.
The cause of the difficulty seems to have been this:
Houssieau got on board of the ferry boat to cross
the river when quarrel ensned between him and
Alfred Brown, which caused Brown to strike him,
whereupon Hossieau pulled out pistol and shot
him iii the knee. Brown then called his brother,
Josiah Brown, to bring him something to defend
himself with During this time, .Houssieau shot
him again, the ball Wounding him Brown in the
abdomen. Josiah Brown then came up and fired
several times at Hossieau, of the balls taking
elect in his back, infictng flesh wound. Alfred
Brown is now dangerously i'll from the effect Of the
last wound, and is not expected to recover.
The storm of Tuesday last was very severe in
many places along the river:
On Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock, one Of the
most powerful rains OF the season was introduced
BY thunder gust, and continued to fall for eight
or ten hours as If the bottom had fallen ont

A GALLANT GREYHoUND.--The following Incl
dent, said to be well attested and taken from a
French work entitled L'Histoire des GRiens Gele-
bfes,i shows that weil-educated dog, under ex-
citing circumstances, can not only reason and act
with wonderful decision and presence Of mind, but
can also manifest a feeling Of revenge, which is
not necessarily his natural character, but which
can hardly be surpassed in intensity by Christian
warrior. Mustapha, strong and active grey
hound, belonged to a captain Of artillery, raised
from its birth in the midst of camps, always ac-
companied its master, and exhibited no alarm in
the midst Of battle. In the hottest engagements it
remained near the cannon, and carried the match
in his mouth. at the memorable battle of Fonte-
noy, the master of Mustapha received mortal
wound. At the moment when about to fire upon
the enemy he and several of his corps were
struck to the earth by a discharge of artillery.
Seeing his master extended lifeless and bleeding,
the dog became desperate, and howled piteously,
just at that time body Of French soldiers were
advancing to gain possession of the piece, which
was aimed at them from the top of small rising
ground. AS If with view to revenge his masters
death, Mustapha seized the lighted match with his
paws, and set fire to the cannon, loaded with case
shot Seventy men fell on the spot, and the re-
mander took to flight. After this bold stroke, the
dog lay down sadly near the dead body Of his mas
ter, licked his wounds and remained there twenty
two hours without sustenance. He was at length
with difficulty removed by the comrades Of the de-
ceased. This gallant greyhound was carried to
London, and presented to George II, who had him
AIKEN care Of as brave and faithful public SER

FoRsEY AND MAzEPfA.-Forney's comparison Of
himself to Mazeppa is very apt indeed. 1t must
be remembered that Mazeppa, when lad, was
taken up by a nobeman of power and influence,
and placed in position of ease and independence.
He took advantage Of the opportunities Of his po-
sition, and the credulty Of his patron, to intict
upon him disgraceful and irreparable injury.
Driven forth ON the discovery of his infamy, Ma
zeppa joined his own and his masters enemies,
and ralIying band of outlaws and thieves ami
mated by the hope of plumber he assailed the home
of his old friend and benefactor, and burned it TO
the ground. This story wonld naturally present
