TERRIBLE AFFAIR-A SNAKE-CHARMER
BITTEN-LoCKJAw SUPERvESES.-On Tues
day last, Costello, the well-known "Snake-
charmer," gave an exhibition Of his singu-
lar power over these dangerous reptiles on
the stage Of the American Theatre. He
handled carclessly, but with the utmost
impunity, large number of freshly caught
and yencmous rattlesnakes of very large
size, twisting them around his arms and
body, placing a number Of them in his
bosom and around his neck, and giving un-
doubted evidence that they were, under
ordinary circumstances, perfectly at his
command. The performance being over,
Costello was descending the stairs leading
from the theatre to the saloon, with q
number of snakes inside his shirt and
around his person, being pressed upon and
iostled by the crowd, some of whom,
is to be hoped, thoughtlessly struck the
snakes which were around him. This ex-
cited their ire he suddenly cried out that
he was bitten, and entering the saloon,
took off his shirt, when it was discovered
that the venom of the snake had taken
effect in his right shoulder, which in a few
moments swelled to frightful size, and
he commenced frothing at the mouth.
A physician was Immediately sent for,
and was at once in attendance the flesh
around the wound was cut out, and prompt
remedial measures employed, and the i'm
mediate effects Of the poison overcome.
About two hours afterward- the virulence
of the venom manifested itself in very
strange manner. The mans mind became
disordered, he threw his arms wildly about,
and was continually singing wild snatches
of songs, all of which had reference to the
snakes. This continued until he was COM
pletely exhausted, when he sank into an
uneasy slumber. Last night lockjaw su-
pcrvcned, but we learn that he is reported
better this morning.-BatalO Express,

LETTER FROM PETERSBURG.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.

PETERSBURG, September Is, 1866.
There has been a marked Improvement
in business during the past week, and the
fall trade may be said to have been fairly
inaugurated. Every effort is being made
by our merchants to supply planters and
country merchants with their groceries,
dry goods, ETC., on the most reasonable
terms. The stocks are both varied and
heavy.
. Transactions in cotton have been more
active than during the preceding week,
with a slight advance in price. Holders
have been better disposed to sell, and
there has been healthy shipping demand
for lots in prime order. For such there
have been liberal sales at from 301s &C. to
3l15c. for good to prime-the market
closing active. A fancy article would pro-
badly bring &c.
The first bale Of new cotton was re-
ceived on Thursday. 1t was grown by
Colonel w. II. Cheek, of North Carolina,
well-known as the gallant commander of
the First North Carolina cavalry during
the war. The weight of the bale was 365
pounds, and il sold for forty cents, besides
being entitled to a premium of fifty dol
lars.
The inspections of tobacco have been
quite considerable, amounting to 245 hogs
heads, though not so large as in the pre-
vious week. The market has undergone
no sensible change in prices. Unsound
descriptions are very dull and very low
say: Tugs, S2.50 to $3.50; leaf, "a to $40.
On Thursday some good was opened, which
brought from SIS to $25. Yesterday very
90 a. "a, tYYrs in gnnnd
der, brought from sl5 to S35. No sales of
fine coal-cured tobacco have been made
during the week.
The market continues very active for
wheat, with but few arrivals. Between
the demand for manufacturing and for
seed, prices have gone up to figure pro-
badly as high as in any other market.
Sales Of white range at from $3.50 to
$3.50, and red at 1926 to S3-the latter
for seed. An active business is doing In
flour at $3.50 to sl3 for superfine sl4.50
to Sl5 for extra; and eli to Sl8 for family.
The market for bacon continues dull,
without any change in price. Virginia hog
round, ls to 20c.; hams and sides, zoe. to
2lc.; western shoulders, lsc. and sides,
2lc.
There Is full supply Of fertilizers.
Dest premium guano is worth from $95 to
sl00 soluble Pacific, $40; bone -four, $40;
ana the various super phosphates at from
700 70 $40, according to brand. As the
season Tor seeding wheat approaches, there
u an increasing demand for several of
these articles.
Your correspondent would not be so
omcious % TO make any discrimination be.
tween the merits Of these several ma
nures, bat he win be pardoned for recnm n-
mending trial Of the pure bone on lots
intended to be laid down In grass. ''
The health Of the city continues good .
in fsct, II neyer was better at this season
Of the year. The Board OF Health de.
serve much c0mmendstion for their
fidelity In discharging the trust committed
70 them. Il 10 believed that every part Of
tho city receives due attention, and that
there y but little to invite visit from the
chOless.

DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.-Mr. Hazel
Cashell, living about four miles from Rock
Vile, Md, lately lost about seventeen
beef cattle by a disease which he did not
know, and could not account for. We in
uuired of Mr.. Cashell himself, and learned
that he purchased the cattle last spring
from drovers; that they came, as he thinks,
from West Virginia in healthy condition
that they were affected as if by paralysis,
and gradually weakened and died. NO
other cattle in the ncighborhood have been
infected, nor has the rinderpest been known
to prevail in the section from which they
came, nor in any other part Of the United
States; SO that whatever disease may have
destroyed Mr.. Cashell's cattle, there need
be no fear of the spreading of the rinder-
pest from that source.-RockriHe Sentinel.

PRUssIAN GOLD.-Thcre is now little

The Boston advertiser, aprop6s Of Rev.

that clergymcn are not we'll fitted to dis
cuss politics. Several other Radical pa
pers concur in this view. As the Radicals

plauded the interference of the parsons in
politics, we apprehend that the objection
is not so much to the discussions as to the

RANCID BUTTER FOR COoKING.-The
Scientific american says that the common
notion that rancid butter is "good enough
for cooking purposes" is founded upon
science. Butyric acid, which makes it
rancid, cvaporates at a heat of 3l5 degrees,
and leaves the butter sweet.
