The MAN WITH SNAKE IN HIS HAT.-Dr.
Dixon in the N. Y. Scalpel, states that a
gentleman of the highest veracity related
to him the following snake story, which
beats anything we have read lately:
Going into public ordinary for his din
ner, be was surprised to observe the extra
care with which gentleman who took the
seat opposite him, took off his hat; he turned
his head as nearly upside down as possible
without breaking his neck; then placing his
hand over the inside of the hat, he again
turned 1t, and received its carefully guard
ed contents, concealed by his pocket hand
kerChief in his hand; then gently laying the
back of his hand on the cushion, he slid the
bat and its contents of, and commenced
dinner. The attention of my friend was ir-
resistibly directed towards the hat; and his
surprise greatly increased, the reader may
we'll imagine, on observing the head of o
sizable snake thrust out aud look sharply
about him.
The gentleman perceiving the discovery,
addressed him, "My dear sir, was in hopes
10 have dined alone, and not to annoy any
one with my poor pet. Allow me to ex'
plain: he is perfectly harmless; only COM
mon black snake. / was advised to carry

the attack was complete surprise, we
have no doubt a large number were taken,

have been very slight, as only Is of the
