SlR:-During the past two years
the Department OF Agriculture has
established throughout the North

ries \ regular correspondent for

The general designs and duties

A SNAKE IN A QUEER PLACE.
One day lately party Of young
folks, male and female, in the town
ship of Franklin, Penn, went to the
whortlcberry rock, a distance of
about eight miles from the neigh
borhood. After reaching the rock,
the day was spent in the usual
way-by picking berries, and wan
dering over the vast plain of rock.
Evening came, and the parties re-
turned to their homes. One young
lady, after reaching her residence,
and performing her customary work
about the house, repaired to her
room to retire for the night, and,
upon undressing, what did she dis
cover, nicely entwincd about her
waist, between her crinoline and
under garments, but q snake fully
twenty inches in length. As might
be expected, on making such a dis
covery, the lady's feelings can be
better imagined than described. She
gave the alarm, when other inmates
OF the house came 20 the room and
dispatched his snakeship. 1t turn
ed out to be one Of the adder species
which are very numerous on the
rock. The query is how the rep
tile managed to got in that position.
The only way it can be accounted
for IS this : During the day the
young woman must have been sit
ting down on the rock, and the
broad skirts now worn might possi-
bly, have covered the snake, which,
in its endeavors to escape, got be-
tween the garments, and SO worked
itself up TO the waist unfelt by the
party. She states that several times
during the day and evening she felt
a sort Of gripping sensation about her
body, but delicacy in company in
duced her to bear it rather than to
attempt to ascertain the cause.

and wrong, the friend of the deserv-
ing needy under all circumstances
Like Cato the incorruptible, hc was
above all price, and despised alike
the allurements OF power and the
destinations of place. Twice did he
quit lucrative positions in order to
respond to tho summons Of Texas.
Let not Texas turn deaf ear to
the name of Sydney Johnston, when
the roll of her fallen heroes is call
ed, and some comrado who was with
him on the bloody field of Shiloh
shall respond in his behalf, dead,
died in the very front of battle, and

Goaded to madness by the unjust
taunts of tho unthinking herd he
threw away his inestimablc life in
the needless endeavor to rebut their
senseless calumnies." No! let his
family be invited by legislative
committees back to his beloved Tex
as, and suitable provision made for
their support. Give at least the
widow u home, the orphans heri-
tage, and let them not in future
years impugn the gratitude of the
Republic or rather Ex- Republic
Let the ladies also take the matter
in hand, and set an example for the
Legislature to initiate. We earnest
ly advise thom to organize in every
town and hamlet in the State, to ap-
point committees to collect funds
for this most worthy object, and
these to report to some President
of their own sex and selection, who
shall take charge of all amounts so
collected, and turn them over to
Mrs. Johnston.
If l might take the liberty, with
out advising with that lady, ! would
suggest, as most suitable person
for the place, the widow of Hon.
Wm. II. Wharton, of Brazoria
county. She is widely known all
over the State, and her husband and
Gen. Johnston were old friends and
compatriots, during the long strug-
gle for independence which Texas
waged against Mexico. Let the Ia
dies of Harrison imagine the move
and let every one contribute their
mite. "FlAT JUSTITIA."

The New York correspondent Of
the Galveston News has the follow
ing remarks
During the years 1862, 3, 4, and
a part of 1865, large number OF
robberies, of sums both great and
small, occurred throughout the
Southern States. The goods taken
were not always mony; on the con
trary, money was rare and goods
common among the plumbers.
The parties who conducted most
of these thefts, came generally in
the day time to houses unguarded
in the country, and having only
women and children to protect them.
Husbands and brothers were chiefly
in the field in defence of ther coun-
try.
In many cases, there was no con-
cealment in the raids made for plum
der, but the utmost audacity and
wantonness were practised. Wag-
ons and teams were often driven up
to the premises; and furniture, pi-
amos, and especially fine china and
silver ware, were all loaded into the
wagons, and they were driven away.
Many OF these wagons had the mark
"U. S." upon them, and the horses
bore like evidence of ownership.
But what was still more brazen,
and defiant of morals and decalogues
these marauders wore uniforms of
United States soldiers and officers,
and many of them bore swords, and
official insignia.
When the unprotected inhabitants
heard of the approach of these ban
ditti, many buried their silver, jew
elry and other precious things. On
arrival of the robbers they would
eithersuborn or terrify the late faith
full slave TO betray the burial place
of the treasure, and bring it forth (;
or they would seize some member of
the family, and hold her hostage
for the delivery of all buried goods.
When they had secured ali they
could well carry away, they would
often cut up. with axes and knives,
the things they could not steal, and
in many instances, would set fire to
the dwellings and leave in triumph.
The pleadings and wailing Of wo-
men and children, suppliCating mer-
cy, were unheeded BY these steel
hearted wretches; for they would
wrest the rings and bracelets from
the fingers and wrists of both old
and young. Keepsakes and memo
rials Of the revered dead, were not
respected. Women were compelled
