A SNAKE IN BoY's SToMAC CHA boy
aged eight years, son of Benjamin Whis-
Ter, residing in NIiffiin township, a short
distance from Newville, in Cumberland
county, has been seriously afflicted for
some time past on account of having a
living snake in his stomach The pres
ence of the young reptile was discovered
about two years ago, and by rapid
growth it has attained size that renders
it very painful to the boy. Thirteen phys
sicians assembled at the family residence
last week and held consultation, when
it was decided that the only manner in
which the snake could be removed was by
cutting open the stomach of the sufferer.
The boy has not eaten any food except
sweetmeats and new milk for more than
year past, and has a horror Of every
thing else in the shape of nourishment.
The case is a very singular one, and may
be considered by many in the light of a
snake story, but we assure our readers the
facts above stated are strictly true,-Her-
aid, Nctc7Hs

TIE OLDEST PERSON KNowN.-A COL
ored woman, Mrs, Stuart, of LOndonder-
ry, n. H, is the oldest person known in
the United States. She was born in Boss
ton in 1850, and consequently is twenty
six years older than the Declaration of
American Independence. As she tells the
story, her father and mother, when she
was three months old, came into the pos
session of the Simpson family, of Wind
ham, n. H., as slaves, and remained with
them until after the abolition of slavery
in that State. She called her maiden
name after that of her masters family,
Simpson,
Long ago she was left a widow, and
has now living two sons and a daughter.
She was at Manchester last week, and
had photographs of herself taken, and was
very much surprised at TIE process.
