An Anaconda NaturaIized i'm ohio.


Some two weeks ago we saw in the Ne0
Philadelphia Democrat, some account of
big snake which had been seen In the neigh
borhood of Newcomerstown and Port
Washington on the p. G. & G. road. We
regarded the tale as a myth; but the Demo-
crat of the 11th inst. returned to the charge,
and said the big snake was no myth, and
added:
He was actually seen, and is as much of
a verify as the great sea serpent ever was.
A farmer from the neighborhood tolda gen.
tleman of this town that he had been seen
year ago, trying to swallow arabbit. His
presence in that locality is accounted for
by the fact that aboutten years ago men
agerie. travelling through the country, had
one of the wagons break down, and a
young Anaconda made its escape. He has
now grown to full size, and may be consid-
cred living wonder. The snake was seen
by Andrew Stocker, of Salem township,
some time in June last, while he was plow-
ing in his field. 1t was as large as an ordi-
nary stove-pipe, and was standing with its
head erect and as high as his He made a
hasty retreat, but said nothing at the time,
fearing that his story would not be believed.
Mr.. S. is reliable farmer, and his state
ment Is entitled to credit The snake has
its lair near culvert on the Z. q. d q. X.
r., about mile above Port Washington.
The Democrat OF the 18th inst, which has
just come to hand, is silent in regard to the
snake. But from gentleman of this city
who passed through the locality said to be
infested by the presence of the huge reptile,
early yesterday morning on the P. G. & G.
road, we learn that the whole country in
the vicinity Of Port Washington and New
comerstown, was in state of intense ex-
citement, and that an immense concourse,
of people of both sexes, and of all ages and
occupations, had assembled at the former
place for the purpose of having grand
hunt yesterday for the big snake, who was
said to have his headquarters in large
swamp in the vicinity. ..-... ....
Some time before, the farmers in the
neighborhood, it was said, had offered a
thousand dollars reward for the capture of
his snakeship, whom they accused Of milk
ing their cows withoutleav or license from
the owners. The snake was estimated to be
at least thirty-two feet in length, and it was
stated that where he had crossed the roads,
he left trench in the sand of eight inches
in width. We shall await the result of yes
terday's expedition to capture the monster
with some interest.

But they cure the sick, eXalt the depressed,
Add rose tint charm to the social CIRCLE
And render life a thing to be enjoyed.

Tender youth, declining age, the mind
Ger wroughtby mental care, most gentle females.
And the wreck of men, all find these Bitters
The balm of life and source of heath.

READER, did you ever take glass of
Speer's Samburg wine? If. you never
have, let US recommend you to do SO; for
after having tried it both as a beverage and
medicine, we boldly pronounce it the
most palatable and efficient wine we ever
drank. AS mere beverage even, we main
tain it is the very choicest wine in use, be-
ing at once delicious in flavor, cheering in
its effects, and cheap in price. As a medi-
cal agent, we have tried it effectually dur
ing the last ten days (after being prostrated
by cholera morbus), and have found 1t ev-
erything and more than what its proprietor
claims for it.-Rahaoay Register. t.iJ
Nearly all Druggists keep this wine.

CRUELTY TO FREEDMEN-Judge Car
ter, who has returned from an extensive
trip through the Southern States, states
that cruelty to freedmen and number of
homicides among them by the whites are
increasing to fearful extent, especially in
places where the troops are being with
drawn. The Judge has a copy of the
Southern Sun, which says if the Yankees
are alarmed at the killing of few hun
dred negroes day in States where they
have the protection of Yankee troops, to
certain extent, what will be their alarm
after the departure of the military forces
and re-admission into the Union of these
States as sovereign powers, who will then
have a complete organization of militia in
each county, which will give the South a
standing army which can bid defiance to
the world.
