BRIaAND CHIEFS IN ITALY.

. I'll
There are two or; three, Rrigand
chiefs in Italy, says a correspondent,
who have kept their; ground for the
last eight years in spite of; all. the eff
forts of the police, gendarmesi and
military, One of these leaders, the
infamous Guerra, was killed, with
several of his band, on the night of
the 30th of August. It was anight of
storm and heavy rain, when Major
lombard, warned of the vicinity of
the brigands, went out to seek them
at the. foot of Mount Torrone, near
Migneno., The search was vain until
it occurred to one of the guides to
examine some large hollow oak trees,
in which he knew that men might be
easily hidden. In, the very first they
found two persons concealed. One of
them wrestled with the captain. who
seized him, but before he could make
use of his arms a soldier shot him
dead. 1t was, Guerra. The other was
shot as he ran away On examining
the body, it proved to be that of the
brigand's mistress Another much
dreaded brigand, the ferooions Cic-
conf, a, ruffian of lerculean strength,
was killed on the same occasion, Do
menico Fuocox is the most formidable
of those who remain at large. The
Italian papers. have just announced
that the remnant of Guerra's band has
yielded itself up to the authorities.

but horror to horrors! inside one half
of the, melon was a young snake, yell
low as leek, and about nine inches
long. The half in which he had his
habitation was nearly all hollow, The
young snake darted his 7forked tongue
fercely and aimlessly about five times,
the first dart, he made hitting the fore
finger of young Golfer, who immedi-
ately Fan off to the drug store ON the
cor. of Cherry and Cedar streets, but
finding no doctor he hurried up Ce-
dar1still further. We learned after
ward that the physician cut of the
first joint Of the bitten finger, and
sent the boy home in a hack telling
him it would be all right. -'1... i...i.. -, n.
The little snake was caught and put
into a fruit jar, by Whitesides,
butchers assistant, who lives out in
Germantown. It is a most extraor-
tdinary freak of nature, and it seems
Impossible to account for how the
snake could have got into the heart of
large and apparently sound melon.
The part in which it was found was
thrown violently against q post by
Cofter, and bruised and broken in such
a way that it was impossible to ascer-
tain whether there were any holes or
damaged spots on the rind. The case
is decidedly unusual. = Ndshvilte
