A SNAKE FIVE. FEET LoNG MILKs Cow
A gentleman in the lower part of this city
has a splendid milch cow. She ordinarily
gives from two to three gallons at a milking
1t is remarkable fact that, for the last two
months, she has given more milk in cold
weather than in warm. When the weather
is cold her milk is abundant, but when it
moderates her supply is reduced down, fre
quently to less than Il quart. This remark
able freak attracted the notice of the owner.
several weeks ago, and ever since he has
been sedulously trying to divine the cause
AT first he thought she was mlked by other
parties than members of his family, but as
the cow was confined in lot adjoining his
residence and closely watched, he became
satisfied that no person other han some one
of his family MIXED her. During the recent
extreme cold weather her milk was abun-
dant, bat yesterday (the weather having
become very much moderately she failed
entirely.
This morning he was up early. determined,
if possible, to learn the cause of the failure.
He had barely entered the COW yard before
his attention was attracted to a rustling
noise in some chunks near the stable
Presently he saw q huge snake emerge from
underneath the stable and crawl up to his
favorite mixer and deliberately begin strip
ping her teats., The snake was at least five
feet long. and as large as mans arm at the
shoulder. 1t is what is known as u cow
snake. The mystery was now explained -
In cold weather the snake lies dormant, by
bernating. bat when the weather gets warm
he emerges from his winter quarters. The
gentleman attempted to kill the snake. but
failed 1t ran back under the stable. where
it now securely lies gorged with its favorire
beverage. The gentleman who relates this
snake story is one of our most respectable
citizens, and vouches for its truth.-Nele

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the selfstyled doctors.
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are trade men and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tinsmiths, shoemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence office keepers &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1863 The only way
avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus. there is safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr..
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates pretended patients letters, &c.

Horrible Diseases.

How many thousands of persons both male and
female, are there who are suffering out a miserable
existence from the effects of secret indulgence, or
from virus absorbed into the system. Look at
their pallid, emaciated and dsfgured faces and
their broken-down constitutions, disqualifying
them for the happiness of marriage or the enjoy
ment of life. In this horrid situation thousands
suffer until death closes the scene. Let parent B.,
guardians and friends attend to those who are suf
tering with any of these horrible life-destroyinr
maladies-see that they cared for and cured
before it is too late. Send them Immediately to
Dr. Gi6bon, physician who has made private
diseases his special study for years. and who is
certain to cure the most nveterate cases. without
mercury or any injurious drugs. 1t is important
to those afflicted those who are interested in
the welfare of their friends, to be careful of the
many pretended doctors VINO infest all cities, pub
hshing their skill in curing all diseases in a few
days, imposing upon the public by using the names
of eminent physicians from Europe and other
places. Be therefore careful and make strict
inquiry or you may fall into the hands of those
