| WESTERN CRoPs.-Minnesota promises an
extraordinary wheat crop Samples'of the new
grain are Of the first quality. The St. Peter
| Statesman says the crops generally win average
a larger yield this year than ever before.
| The most moderate calculation of the pres
ent Ohio crops makes it at least G0,00O,00
bushels, or 10000, 900 more than was raised
last year. OF this quantity there will be a sur
plus beyond the State demand of some 1900,
600 bushels. A8-tss
A Pennsylvania editor says Many years
have passed since the farmer has secured
so large q harvest-not within our recollection
has there been anything like it, The hay Sc
cured and yet to be cut will make by far the
largest crop ever before harvested. The prom
ises for corn could not be better, and few
rains through August will fill the cribs to over
flowing. -14n4

A TERRIFIC ENCOUNTER WITH Boa Cox
srRICroR-Onc Of the most thrilling incidents
which has ever come to our knowledge, occur
red a few days since in ''side show with Van
Ambuig & Cos Menageue, where two enor-
nous snalles--an anaconda and a boa consric-
tor--ara on exhibition. Both of the huge rep
tiles are kept in one case with u glass top
opening at the sides, and The keeper was in the
act of feeding them when the event occurred.
The longer of the snakes, the boa constructor,
which is some thirty feet long, and as large a
round the middieas a mans thigh, had just swal-
lowed two rabbits when the keeper introduced
his arm and body into the cage for the purpose
Of reaching a third TO the anaconda, at the OPP
posite corner.
While in this position the boa, NOT satisfied
with his share of the rations, made a spring,
probably with the intention Of securing fhe re-
naming rabbit but, instead fastened his jaws
upon the keepers hand and, with the rapidity
Of lightning, threw three coils around him. thus
rendering him entirely helpless. His shouts of
distress at once brought several men to his as
sisance, and among them, fortunately, was q
well-known Snowman named Townsend, n man
of great muscular power, and what was of much
more importance, one who had been familiar
with the habiis of these repuisive monsters all
his life, having, owned some of The largest ones
ever brought TO this country.
The situation of the keeper was now perous
in the extreme The first thing TO be done was
TO uncoil the snake from around him, but if in
attempting this The reptile should become in the
least degree angcred, he would, in second,
contract his powers sufficient to crush The life
out Of an OK. A single quick convulsion of
the creature and the keepers soul would be in
eternity This Townsend fully understood; so
without attempting to disturb the boa's hold
upon the keepers hand, he managed by power
full yet extremely cautious movements to uncoil
the snake without exciting him, after which by
the united exertions of two strong men the jaws
were pried open and the man r'eleasedin a com
pletely exhausted condition. The bite of the
boa constructor is not poisonous, and although
the bitten hand was immensely swollen the next
day, no serious results were apprehended A
more narrow escape from most horrible death
it would be difficult to imagine Columbus

SAN JOSE RAILRoAD.-This railroad is pro-
crossing fast, as the report of the city and coun
ty Surveyor shows; in one week the work will
be completed from the county line, to the Rock
House; there bridge will have to be compile
ted; from there to the Bernal Hills, the work is
finished, and beyond that point everything is
progressing well, the materials used being Of
the best character, the contractors having fully
met the stipulations in their various contracts,
and have the approval of the Engineers Of the
Road, for their energy and perseverance. The
Surveyors are satisfied that the Company are
entitled to the issuing of the bonds required,
and the stockholders are secured against con-

THE ADVERTISING TAx.-So far as we can
learn, the Treasury Of the United States will
not receive large accessions Of the ORC from the
tax on advertisements in this State, owing to
the distinction made by the law exempting pa
pers having circulation Of less than 2,OOO
copies. Only the Alta California, Bulletin
Call, Journal and California Democrat, OF san
Francisco: and the Union and Bee Of Sacra-
mcnto, of the daily papers. have to pay the
