The Bite Of a Dead Rattlasnake

NJ. Delahayc, French draughts
man, was lately bitten by a dead
rattlesnakc, and might have lost his
lie but Tor prompt and efficient pre-.
cautions. The gentleman had been
making a drawing of stuffed rattlc.
snake, and in replacing it in it's case
the spring which held the jaws asun.
der suddenly slipped, and the teeth
camo down on the draughtsman's
finger and inflicted sharp wound.
Ito Immediately sucked the wound,
tied q thread tightly above it to pre-.
vent circulation, and sought surgical
ald' The wound was soaked in strong
alkali. then cautcrized, and other usual
remedies Against poison werc employ
Gu, In about On hour all symptoms
of danger were over. To satisfy
themselves, the surgeons then pro-
cured a healthy rabbit, and pricked
him with the same tooth with which
Delahaye had been wounded, and tho
animal died In commissions In half an
hour.
This reminds us of a story, which
we believe is entirely authentic, and
which we give according to our best
recollection Some years ago, New
England farmer at work in the fields
was bitten in the leg, through his boot,
ny q rattlesnake, and in short timo
died of the wound. A brother in
herltcd the boots, and unsuspectingly
wore them. In q short time, the leg
OF the wcarcr bore marks of having
been scratched in the samo place
where the first owner was bitten by
the snake, and the same symptoms of
poison followed, and ultimately death
itself. This led to an examination of
the boot leg, and there was found the
point of the snakes fang sticking in
the leather, which, small as it was,
had virulence enough in it to poison
and kill after many days-pcrhaps
weeks or months-and might, for
aught that we know, have killed sue
pcsslve generations, had it not been
removed.

FROM the Assoaiate Reformed Presbyterian.
Let Violence Cease.

Coming out from protracted war
and familiar with scenes of bloodshed
with our hopes all blasted, and tho
heel Of oppression on our necks
scenes of VIOLENCE might reasonably
have been expected with US three
years ago. But, to our crodit bo it
said, they were not often witnessed.
The soldier was tired Of war, and
longed for peace. The people were
tired of war, willing to submit to an
Unjust and oppressive rule for tbesake
of pence. And though three years Of
humiliation and suffering, such as bnt
few people on the face Of the globe
have ever been called to endure, the
South has remained comparatively qui-
ct, all the assertions Of outsiders or
insidefs, to the contrary, notwith-
standing. No doubt if any people
were so submissive and quiet under
similar circumstances.
Recently, however, even iu our w n
Carolirn, youthful passion, aroused to
fever heat, by unusual and continued
provocatiQns, has found vent in deeds
Of lawlcssness and crime, that are
greatly TO be iamented. Violence is
always wrong. Murder is q great
crime. The taking of human life is
an awful thing. The Divine com mand
is: ''Tho1 shalt not kill" Asssssina.
ton is tho worst form Of murder and
is never justifiable, is always to be
condemned. Itis horrible.
These acts Of violence are not only
wrong but they arc impolitio and un.
wise. They must bring down upon
ns the vengeance of heaven, and in
stead Of freeing us from troubles that
pow attiict Us will only involve % in
