Terrific Encounter with Boa cons+.:

from the Columbus CO., Statesman
One OF the most thrilling Incidents which
has ever come to our knowledge occurroa
few days since in side show with Van Am
burgh & Co. Menagerie, where two enormous
snakes, an anaconda and boa constructor s,o
on exhibition.
Both of the huge reptiles are kent in ono
case with glass top opening at the side and
the keeper was engaged in the act of FEEDING
them W hen the event occurred. The larger o}
the snakes, the boa constructor, which is some
thirty feet long and as large around the middle
as man s thigh, had just swallowed two rab
bits when the keeper introduced his arm and
body into the cage tor the purpose of reaching
third to the anaconda at the opposite corner
While in this position, the boa, notsatsfed
with his share of the rations made spring.
probably with the intention of securing the re-
naming rabbit, but instead fastened his jaws
upon the keepers hand, and with the rapidly
of lightning, threw coils around the poor fel-
low, thus rendering him entirely helpless
His shouts Of distress at once brought several
to his assistance, and among them, fortunate
ly, was a well known Snowman named Town
send, a man of great muscular power; and
what was of much more Importance, one who
had been familiar with the habits OF these re-
pulsive monsters ali his life, having owned
some of the largest ones ever brought to this
country.
The situation Of the keeper was now ex~
tremely perilous. The first thing to be done
was to uncol the snake from around him; but
if attempting this the reptile should become in
the least degree angered, he would in second
contract bis coils with power sufficient to
crush the life out of an OK. A singl quick
CONFUSION of the creature, and the keepers
soul would be in eternity! This Townsend
fully understood; so without attempting to dis
turb the boa's hold upon the keepers hand
he managed by powerful, yet extremely eau.
tious movements to uncoil the snake without
exciting him, after which by the united exer,

constructor is not poisonous, and although the
bitten hand was immensely swollen the next
day. no serious results are apprehended' =

THE DRAFT.-All sorts of rumors were IN
circulation on Thursday respecting the draft,
its effect in this city and county, the intent OF
our State authorities to seek postponement
and decrease of it, &c. The fact is, such an
accomplishment is much to be desired The
number said to be required Of West Virginia
under the draft las was stated by us yesterday,
four thousand six hundred and fifty, is too
large. especially in view Of the fact that IT the
old regiments are to be filed by draft, that
call upon us will be very large, as our regiments
have been 50 much reduced by the hard service
they have seen.- Wheeling Press.
GEORGETOWN GRAIN MARKET.-The flour
market is firm, with sales of super at S. 81 to
SIS IS and IS to SIS so, as in quality, tor ex-
ira. Wheat in fair demand at 81 80 to 81 81
for red, and 81 IS to 81 40 for white, and 81
so to 81 60 for family fine wheat: The supplies
of wheat are increasing, the trade by canal De-
ing pretty good, and the receipts by wagons
also fair.
Corn continues scarce and in demand, and
prices are equal to Baltimore figures. Good
white fetches SIS to CSC. readily, same as last
week; yellow, 62(067c. per bushel. Oats con-
tinue in demand also, at II to SOC. tor new and
IS to &c. for good old. So poor was the oat
crop in this section, on both the Maryland and
Virginia shores, that many fields were not cut
by the farmers. .. ...-
