AEoRRTBIF FETE-A MAN BITTEN BY A RAT
- TIEGMAEE
From the Dubuque Times

From the Dubuque Times }
One of the most horrible deaths posi-
BILE for a man to meet, IS awaiting Mr..
Jacob Shuester, a farmer near Waupaton,
in this county, who was bitten by a rat
tlesnake last Saturday. Mr.. Shuester
was IN a field moving hay, when he came
upon the snake, and it attempted to crawl
away. He cut it into with his sythe, and
as it still gave signs of life, he severed 1t
again within three inches of Its head
It then seemed to be dead, and he stopped
down to examine its mouth; He was APP
preaching its mouth with his right hand,
when the snake sprang and fasteneditself
to his right thumb. He sprang to his
feet, and after several seconds, succeeded
in loosening its hold and hinging it to
the ground. The thumb panied him
terribly. and he ran to the house. 1t
Immediately commenced swelling, and
his agony increased. Neighbors were
sent for, who applied remedies of which
they had heard. But they did no good,
and IN ten minutes MIR. Shuester com
menced vomiting blood. All the RENE
dies suggested BY his neighbors having
failed, they t'doctored" him until late
Sunday afternoon, when DIR. Staples, of
this city, was sent for. He arrived at the
house, a distance of twenty miles, Sunday
evening. He found Shuester in a horri-
bile state of body and mind. His right
arm was swollen to four times its natural
size, and was nearly black. This color
had reached his breast, and was spread
ing over his system. Below the elbow
the poison had affected the arm so that
its surface wascoVered withlarge blisters,
which were filed with blood. From one
of these the Doctor drew nearly a tea-cup
full of blood. The palm Of the sufferers
hand, although callOused by labor, was
pulled out like a sugar loaf, and blood
continually flowed from h wounded
thumb. His breath was aWfully Often
sive.
Mr.. Shuester retains all his senses
Before he was bitten lie was a large we'll
built man, and possessed great strength.
He is now haggard, as white as a sheet,
and his eyes CHASTITY.
Doctor S. administered powerful neu-
tralizing medicines, and Mr.. Shuester
felt somewhat relieved almost Immediate
ly. The Doctor stayed with him all night,
and left him at ten o'clock yesterday
morning with slight hopes of his recoy-
cry. When the Doctor left, Mr.. Shues-
ter complained of a feeling which was
then coming upon him for the first time
Ia sort Of a benumhing, yet painfully
tingling sensation, which affected his
whole body. He was alive yesterday
morning-sinee' that time we have not
heard from him.
Mr.. Shuester is a well-to-do farmer,
and is generally respected in the commu-
nifty where he lives. He has wife and
two children, who are in agony over his
misfortune.

DAVIS DISAPPOINTED EXPECTATIONS.

The Woonsocket Patriot relates a con-
yersation that occurred inthe Smithsonian
Institution at Washington, in 1854, when
JEFF Davis predicted that the Union would
soon be divided into two Republics:
Where will the division or boundary
line be?' Intercepted Prof. Jewett, the
librarian, to whom the conversation was
addressed.
The line separating the slave and free
States answered Mr.. Davis.
Then said the professor, you expect
to claim the national capitol
of course, was the reply, and this very
Smithsonian Institute will be within the
Southern Republic
But asked the professor, how will
you bring about such a division of the
country? Do you think that the free
States will agree to it without a resort to
arms r
Sir, said Jefferson Davis, in his SEN
tentious manner, the North will never
fight us on that question. There will be
no blood shed. When the South says she
will secede, and become a distinct nation
atty, the North will be gland to letSus go,
and that peaceably. 1t will be a bloodless
r~evolution.'

IHE uARILITIEs OF LAnnLnRns.

Quite an important case bearing on the
liability of hotel proprietors for property
stolen from guests was decided in the
New York Superior Court on Tuesday,
The plaintiff deposited a package CON
tanning twenty-five thousand dollars in
the safe of Earl's Hotel, induced by the
customary placard on the door. The
money was lost, and the plaintiff COM
menced action to recover the full amount.
Two issues were presented to the jury,
what sum Of money was lost, and what
would have been a reasonable amount for
the traveller to carry with him for expen-
ses. The jury replied $25, 900 to the first
question, 1000 to the second, and gave
a verdict for the larger sum. The judges
held however that an innkeeper is only
liable for such sums of money as the cir
cumstances, the objects and purposes of
his guest would warrant as a reasonable
sum for his travelling expenses. The YER
dict of the jury was therefore reversed,
and a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
81, 900 sustained. saa

HALIFAX, JulyH.AB the Alpha we
have the statement of Capt. Hart, of the
bark Meteor, that he searched a day and
a half for the unfortunate passengers by
the ship VIM. Nelson, the wreck of which
was scattered for miles over the water
The several passengers say that on Sun
day. June 18th, the, Captain of the hope
less ship determined to: fumigate her, and
for this purpose ordered pitch to be taken
in the lower hole and redehot irons to be
thoWn into it. The bitch ignited and boil
ed over and set the ship on fire. When
it was found impossible to save the ship,
the Captain and Others with the cabin
passengers left in the boats of the ship,
which soon burned to the waters edge,
carrying down over 400 steerage passen-
gers.
The scenes on board the Inflated vessel
are described as of the most heart-rend-
ing character. Capt. Hart says that a
ship five or six miles off from his vessel,
was seen by him, apparently engaged in
searching for the wreck. and he thinks
that she saved some of the passengers
from the wreck, all of whom and been
three days and nights in the water. The
male cabin passengers are fast recovering
from the effects of the injuries received,
but the female passengers are badly burn
ed about the arms and legs, and are not
progressing so well.
G. o. Leach, Esq, U. 8. Consul at St.
Johns, en- route for the States, furnishes
the following as the statement of the most
intelligent of the saved passengers of the
ship VIM. Nelson: OnsMonday, the 18th,
the steerage passengers were all ordered
above, and the ship was thoroughly wash
ed and fumigated. The fire broke out
about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The
Captain and his family and the ships crew
in two boats, left the ship about 8 O'Clock
in the afternoon. Two other boats then
attempted to leave, but these were injur-
ed and swamped. Many of the saved are
badly burned. The ship was seen by
Capt. Hart, and he probably saved some
of the passengers on board the wreck.
We have no names of the saved from
the VIM. Nelson, who reached st. Johns,
N r. Theywere thirty in number-nine
females and twenty-one males.
