ingly dangerous. Young people are apt to run
to extremes, as in the following instance:
A writer in the Lond On Times says that sal
most all young men who have been at Oxford
and Cambridge, especially those who have
meddled much in boat races have, as a rule,
diseased blood vessels, arteries or veins. and
very many of them diseased and dilated hearts
all brought OH by the strain and undue ex-
citement induced by pulling at boat races
In fact the matter is now well recognized both
at insurance offices and in the admins tration
ofchlcroform amongst the upper classes, where
a diseased heart is to be avoided. 1t would
seem the delicate fibres of the hearts of the boys
and lads sent to Oxford especially, at once give
way before this pressure of remora."

AN ANACONDA AT LIBERTY.-The Boston
Journal of the 18th instant says that consid-
erable excitement exists in Somerville, owing
TO the presence of bllck anaconda, which is
said TO have escaped from the Museum of Nat
ural History in Cambridge, about six weeks
ago The serpent is represent ted as being about
thirteen fee' long, of the most dangerous
character. 1t was first seen in this town on
Wednesday, by a daughter of Mr. Edward
Gutter, in his garden on Walnut street. The
little girl was accompanied by younger sis
ter. Seeing the reptile, she caught up her sis
ter and ran into the house, where she tainted
from fright. The alarm was given, and search
Instituted for the serpent, which was discov-
cred IN about an hour by a young man named
Charles Hawes, who is in the employ of Mr.
Abfam Moore. 1t was then coming out of a
rye field adjoining the garden. While the
young man went for a gun, the serpent took
refuge under a barn of Mr.. Moore, where it is
supposed TO be sull concealed, from the fact that
a cOmmotion has been heard among the fowls,
many Of which are missing. The presumption
is that the serpent ha~ RECALLED himself upon
these delicacies. A white adder is said TO have
escaped from the Museum al the same time.

STILL ANOTHER ALLEGED KIDNAPPING
CAsE.-On Friday of last week, Constable
Hough took in custody woman, ANA How
ard, alias Jennings, who WAS charged with
being concerned with a man named W w
Glenn, of Alabama, in the abduction from this
State of Martha Blake, a free girl of color and
selling her as a slave. Justice Mclaughlin
committed her to Jail in default of s., 900 bail,
until Monday afternoon, when a. further ex-
animation was had, VIM. II. COwan appear
ing as her counsel. From the voluntary evil
dence of the accused, it appeared that she was
on terms of intimacy with Glenn, and trav-
eled with him from this city to Richmond,
and from thence to Petersburg, Va, Martha
accompanying them in the capacity of SER
want. While in the latter city the woman,
Howard, alias Jennings, alleges Glenn sold
their servant, and then deserted her. The
magistrate, deeming the evidence not suffi-
cient to criminate the woman to the extent of
an accomplice, held her in $500 to appear as
witness against Glenn, should he be appre-
hended, Therome Jones becoming her secu-
rity. State warrant was issued for the ar
rest of Glenn, who is supposed 10 be in Ala
bama.-Baltim0re San.

LOCAL MATTERa.

| State Arm0ry-The Machinery Confyn,t,J IN, -
| AT the last session of the Legislature liberal
| appropriation was made to arm the State of
Virginia, and to put the Armory in this city
| in complete working order so that muskets
and other weapons necessary to arm the militia
could be manufactured in the best style and
put into the hands of the volunteers in n short
time. To carry out this object State Commits.
sioners were appointed to recommend to the
Governor the most suitable plans, and the
Governor and the Commissioners were in
structed to purchase certain arms and ammu =
milton for immediate use, which instructions
have been carried out as far as practicable
The Commissioners have also recommended a
plan for improving the Armory, and fitting 1t
up with suitable machinery for making ritled
muskets of the best kind, and Gov. Letcher
has not only adopted it. but has Just closed Il
contract with Messrs. JOSEPH X. ANDERSON
&c Co, of the Tredegar Works, to fit up the
Armory with sufficient machinery for manu-
featuring annually frs thousand ifed n,nskets,
the entire contract TO be conn pleted q cost to
the State of one hundred and ffty-stI thousand
dollars.
We are really gratifed to learn as will be
our readers, that the award has been made to
our enterprIsing tOwnsmen, MeSsrs. Anderson
& Co. instead of to some firm at the North !;
and there can be no doubt that they will carry
out their contract to the letter, and to the
credit of themselves and to Virginia Messrs
Anderson & Co. will commence the work
with as little delay as possible, and having
every facility for making tbs necessary ma
chlnery in their large establishment, will
complete it in less time than it could be done
at the North. BY putting on a large force of
competent mechanics, it is thought that the
improvements to the Armory viii be suffi-
ciently advanced by the middle of December
to enable the Master ArmOrer to take charge
of it and commence the manufacture of fire.
