A Doc AND SNAKE SroRY-The Man
chester Mirror relates that George F.
Berry, boy thirteen years old, while out
berrying on Monday, Was attacked by a
"six foot snake of dark hue and rel
stripe around his neck" which wound
twice around the boys body, fastening
both his arms in bis coils. The lads dog
seeing his masters danger, rushed to his
aid, biting and tearing e strip off the
snakes back The boy got relieved from
the deadly grasp and took 10 his heels,
but the snake coiled around the dog, and
would have crushed him if be had not
fought like tiger.
Some DoG-A gentleman left Holyoke
on Friday afternoon for this city in bug
gy, taking a favorite dog with him. As
they progressed towards Wiiiamansett the
gentleman amused himself by psgmng
the dog till be had got the animal into a
state of complete worry. Present. y the
gentleman's hat blew off, and he Went
back after it, leaving the horse and buggy
standing in the road, then the dog took
advantage of his masters absence to jump
into the buggy and start the animal, who
trotted gaiIy toward the river, followed by
the gentleman yelling " whoa TO no pur-
pose. His faithful dog now took posi-
ton upon the seat, where he could keep

by persons on the south shore, who put
off in a boat and got them safely to land

after their owner, who will no doubt leave

The Good Time Coming.

Every ytling seems to Indicate that the
financial crisis of 1858 is like the late
comet--its body has disappeared below
the horizon, and nothing now remains Wis
ible but small part of its tail. That,
too, will soon be gone, and we shall be-
once more sound as dollar and ready 70,
a new spree. Never before has nature
been so bouutitul in her gifts 20 the earth
The cutivators of the soil who are the
foundations of every nations prosperity,
have their cribs and their barns full, and
DO not know where to stow what is yet
maturing. To wheat there is hardly
limit when measured bv the bushel; and
to the corn in prospect, the memory Of
the oldest inhabitants hath no recollection
of the like. The oat crop and the h;w
crop are not behind that of the wheat and
corn and the potato and onion can keep
count with either while the fruit crop is
amply abundant for all home purposes
Nor is there any likelihood that these
abundant productions Of the soil are likely
to spoil for the want of consumers. or be
allowed to remain housed without purcha-
sers. The foreign demand promises to be
active, and already every avenue of trade
is becoming lively and animated through
the desire of supply and demand to keep
up an active correspondence. All branch
es of business feel the impulse the Immense
crops have impaired to trade. The ship
ping interest was never more lively, nor
freights better. Railroad horses are be-
ginning to feel oats again, and all branch
es Of mechanical pursuits are experiencing
an upwaId tendency; for when the farm
ing interest is prosperous every other
branch Of business shares in its success
As a natural consequence, money is be-
coming pentier, as the phrase is; that is,
there IS more of it in circulation, and it ia
easier to be got than before We heard
an experienced banker remark few days
since that money would be cheaper next
year than it had been for the previous
quarter of a century. Extravaganza and
speculation will Of course be the conse-
quence, and we need not tell YOU what
they will produce in the end. The advice
we give to all is, not to try to run down
the locomotive, but take it moderately,
and lay up something for wet day Gin.
