of one of his friends, whom he named, was
already in ashes, and that his own was in
danger. At eight O'Clock, after he had been
out again, he joyfhlly exclaimed, = Thank
God the fire is extinguished the third door
from my house." This news occasioned great
commotion through the whols city, and par
ticularlY among the company in which he
was. It was announced to the Governor the
same evening. On the Sunday morning
Swedenborg was sent for by the Governor,
who questioned him concerning the disaster.
Swedenborg described the FIRE precisely, heW
it had begun, in what manner it had ceased
and how long it had continued. On the
same day the news spread through the city,
and, as the Governor had thoughtit worthy
of attention, the CONSERVATION was consider
ably increased, because many were in trouble
on account of their friends and property,
which might have been involved in the dis
aster. -....
On the Monday evening messenger ar
rived at Gottenburg. who was dispatched
during the time of the FIRE. In the letters
brought by him the FIRE was described pre-
cisely in the manner stated by Swedenborg.
On the Tuesday morning the royal courier
arrived at the Governors with the melancholy
intelligence of the fire, OF the loss which it
had ocasioned and Of the houses it had dam
aged and ruined not in the least differing
from that which Swedenborg had given i'm
med;ately after it had ceased, for the fire was
extinguished at o'cloCk.-EmaHusl Kant.

Charming serpents.

THE Paris Correspondence of the Boston
Evening Gazette writes as follows Of wo-
man, said to possess a strange power over ser
pents:
I confess I felt some emotion in reading
the history of a woman who eke5 out her
scantv revenues by destroying vipers. Her
nome IS Boursler. She lives at Champlitte,
near Gray. She frequents the woods from
spring to autumn in the morning she visits
their eastern, in the evening their western,
edge. She knows by a peculiar faculty her
sense of smelling possesses whether the vi
per's holes she discovers contain one or sevA
eral vipers. She then dips in water whose
composition is a secret. a small iron three
pronged fork which she thrusts in the viper s
hole Is she can push I. The vipers attracted
by the water make their appearance. She
bends near the hole, initiating their hiss as
she dends As soon as viper appears with
its laws out-streched near her mouth, she
spits into it the water above mentioned and
with which she keeps her mouth partly full.
It at once sufocates the viper, and she has to
do is to pick it up. She even kills IN this
wav aspic vipers. which are the most venem-
GUS snakes in France; they can leap three
feet when they would bite and their bite is
most poisonous. She killed from the lst 81
May to the 10th of September this year
1874 vipers and received 9I0f. 50c, for the
government gives reward of Is centimes
tor every 7iper's head. She is forty-6ve
years old and her health is in6rm. She at
tributes her ill-health to the breath af the Vi
pers which she inhales when she bends te
their holes

The Reception Of Edwin Booth in New York

EDwIN BooTH the talented young Ameri-
can tragedian, reappeared on the boards at
the Winter Garden, New York, on Wednes-
day evening, and seems to have met with 3
most enthusiastic reception by an immense
audience. Nearly every paper in New York
agrees in stating that it was one,of the most
brilliant receptions ever accorded to an actor
in that city. The Sun, in its account, says:
"Never in the history Of the histrionic
profession was such reception given to any
actor as he received. The audience rose en-
nlasse while cheer upon cheer reverbersted
long and loud, the ladies rose and waved
their handkerchiefs, gentlemen waved their
hats, and bouquets and wreathes fell around
Edwin Booth in showers. He appeared ex-
tremely nervous, but this hattering reception
gave him confidence, and he performed the
character of Hamlet with FIRE and spirit
which exhibited his talents as q trsgedian.-
At the end of the first act he was called be-
fore the curtain, and the cheering and plaud-
its, and bouquets were renewed, and the
same occurred at the end of every act. At
the close Of the fifth act Mr. Booth was twice
called before the curtain and greeted with
the same enthusiasm as on his first appear
ance. He was urged to make a speech, but
with exceeding mOdesty and good taste, only
bowed his acknowledgement and retired.
"The Tribune says Mr.. Booth appeared
before one of the most brilliant audiences
ever assembled within the walls of a theatre
in New York city, and the ovation he re-
ceivel was such as has never been accorded
to any actor in America"

"SroP HER."-A GAINESVILLE man, one Of
that class of individuals who are always fiat
broke" had occasion to come to Columbus
one day last week, and made up his mind, as
a preliminary, that he would travel on his
good looks. Having thus decided, he took
seat in the splendid saloon cars of the Cen
trail Ohio Railroad, putting on as many airs
as if he had pocket full of rocks" The
GAINESVILLE Signal gives the following record
of the incidents en- route: The train had
nearly reached Claypoors before the Conduc-
tor whom we will call Jones, had reached
our dead-head friend in his round OF collect
ing tickets and fares Your ticket, if you
please" said the Conductor. Haven't any.

INQUIRED the Conductor. Columbus" re-
Piled dead-head. "S2.10," said JONES'
" Haven't nary a stamp" remarked our dead
head acquaintance You must pay your
fare or get off the train, said the Conductor.
" Stop her." quietly remarked dead-head.
= The train was stopped, and he was left on
the side Of the road, to await as he said, the
next train, on which he succeeded in getting.
The same scene transpired, ending by dead
head telling the Conductor to stop her"
and he being again left on the side Of the
road. Train after train was boarded, and
each nut him off little nearer Columbus
The last train on which he got was that Of
our friend Jones, who was on his return trip
from Bellaire to Columbus. Dead-head got
on his train at Patas1ala, and it was under
fnll headway before being discovered by the
Conductor.
"Going to Columbus again, 1 suppose,
remarked Jones. "Have mt been there yet, "
said dead-head, I can't get to ride more
than six miles before they put me off. I
don't think I'll have to get on more than one
or two trains after your'n before Columbus

Won think we can carry you, unless you pay

4" UNDER THE SNOW"
By GEN. F. W. LANDER.

d YIN T. W. 4AA-LNbA-Ahs
The Spring has tripped and lost her flowers,
The Summer sauntered through the glades,
The wounded feet of Autumn's hours
Left ruddy footprints on the blades.
And all the glories of the woods
Had flung their shadowy silence down
When, wilder than the storm it broods,
She fed before the Winters freWn.
For her, sweet Spring had lost its flowers,
She fell, and PASSIONS tongue Of flame
Ran reddening through the blushing bowers,
Now haggard as her naked shame.
One secret thought her soul had screened,
When praying matrons sought her wrong,
And Blame stalked on, a mouthing fend,
And moeked her as she fed along.
And now she bore its weight aloOf,
To hide it where one gbastly birch
Held at the rafter of the roof,
And grim old pine trees formed a church.
Twas here her Spring-time VOWS were sworn,
ana luGTG, upon lAo LOLCu 6Oui
While wintry midnight reigned forlorn,
She knelt, and held her hands to God.
The cautious creatures Of the air
Looked out from many a secret place,
To see the embers of dispair
Flush the gray ashes of her face.
And where the last weeks snow had caught
The gray beard of a cypress limb,
She heard the music of thought
More sweet than her own childhood's hymn.
For, rising in that cadence low,
With Now I lay me down TO Sleep"
Her mother rocked her to and fro,
And prayed the Lord her soul to keep.
And still her prayer was humbly raised,
Held up in two cold hands to God,
That, white as some old pine tree blazed,
Cleaned far DER that dark, frozen sod.
The storm stole ont beyond the wood,
She drew the vision Of a cloud,
Her dark hair was misty hofd,
Her stark face shown as from shroud.
Still sped the wild storms rustling feet
To martial music of the pines,
And to her cold hearts mufled beat
Wheeled grandly into solemn lines.
And still as If her secret woe
No martial words had ever found,
This dying sinner draped in snow,
Held up her prayer without a sound.
But when the holy angel hands
Saw this lone vigil, lowly kept,
They gathered from her frozen hands
The prayers thus folded, and they wcpt
Some snow-fakes. wiser than The rest
Soon filtered DER a thing of clay,
First read this secret Of her breast,
Then roBed her gently where she lay.
The dead dark hair, made white with snow,
And still. stark face, two folded palms,
And lmothcrs, breathe her secret lowD
An unborn infant-asking aims.
God kept her counsel; cold and mute,
His stead fast mourners closed her eyes,
Her headstone was an old trees root,
Be mine to utter % Here she lies"
