Mr. Washburne further represent

war he was comparatively easy about
the result. He knew what was be-

what would transpire from day to

that it would, sooner Or later, rec

We have often read of children
and venomous. snakes playing to-
gether, but we never had case come
Under our immediate observation
until Yesterday. In the afternoon
the two little daughters 0tf Mr. G. c.
Lieb-n, aged three and FIVE years
respectively, we're engaged in play
in in the frunt yard of their home
on Iowa street. when the oldest
child ran into the house and told
the servant girl, to run cut and see
to her sister. The servant thought
nothing of it, and continued her
work. In a few minutes the child
again besought her to 60 right out,
for the snake was kissing at SISSY"
The girl went out and was struck
speechless and made to grow pale !?
On the brick walk, rear the front
gate. sat the little child, laughing at
and patting huge snake on the head
The snake was coiled up like spi-
raj spring, and with elevated head
and protruding fangs, was allowing
the child to play with.it. It was a
blackish monster, streaked and spot
ted with green. When the child
would cease patting it, the. snake
would strike at the little ones hand
and stiffin as preparing to jump at
the child. Then the little one
would tap its head, and it would
lower. its head and remain passive
The servant stood for moment un-
able to say a word. At last she
1shrieked for Mrs. Lieben, who came
out. She also was seized withs ter
ror, but waited only q second before
she seized her child and bore it
away. A lady who resides next
door, alarmed by the servant girls
cries, had now arrived up the scene.
Before the. snake uncoiled itself, she
threw a brick at it, which struck
upon its head and stunned it. A
man who was passing by them step
ped in and killed the snake. 1t
measured thirty eight inches in
length, was. of the kind known as
the house adder, the: bite or sting
of which.is. said to be terribly pois-

TOMORROW Evening is selected by Mr..
WALLAcK-the celebrated and gifted
Monologist-for giving his last Enter
tainment. The opportunity is offered TO
the ladies and gentlemen of this commu-
nifty, to visit one of the most amusing and
instructive places of mirth. glee and fun.
His stump-speeches are very good and
although ludicrous yet replete with nice
local hits. The marvellous changes of
dress create delight and excite astonish-
ment. Mr.. Theophilus Mark Anthony
Brown, the learned Niger, is very anus
ing, and keeps the audience in one long
and continuous roar Of laughter, from
the entrance to the exit Of this character.
A fair comparison can be drawn between
the Learned Niger and Miss Tabitha
Miffin, the Old Maid-who, in her way,
is genuine, and unmistakable, and offers
a fund Of amusement. There are many
very interesting, instructive and laugh
able scenes, which are welt worth seeing
and will repay ten-fo'd a visit to "Mr.

ment on Saturday Evening the Both

The weather has been favorable for
sugar making, fine and with a strong
breeze prevailing, of which advantage
has been taken, wherever the canes were
ripe enough for grinding. A good deal
of sugar has been made, and as fast as
made it is shipped. The Candidate"
left yesterday for London with 800 hhds.,
and the "Hibernica" leaves tomorrow
for same port. There is a fair demand
for it for shipment, at from So TO 81 per
hundred weight, and moIasses at 20 cents
the gallon. These prices are considered
remunerative, and the planters prospects
brighten up a little. The young crop
has been established and is very promis-
ing. Of native provisions the supply is
not yet quite exhausted, the vans, pota-
toes and eddoes can still be procured
at reasonable prices. With American
breadstufs and provisions the market is
also tolerably supplied. The island con-
tinues healthy. We have clean bills of
health from st. Thomas, and are deliver
ed from apprehensions of the approach of
cholera, yellow fever and small pox.
