DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A SNAKE
Mr.. John Brooks, well-known bird and
snake faneier, residing at No. 26 East
Fayette street, about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, whilst playing with a pet rat
tlesnake, was bitten by the reptile, and
died within fifteen minutes. Coroner
Sultzer held an inquest, the jury render
ing verdict of " death from the bite of
a snake" It was in evidence that the
deceased was exhibiting his snake to some
friends, when it turned upon him and bit
him on the left cheek, high up towards the
eye. He at once replaced the snake in its
cage and took strong stimulant, remark
ing to his wife and daughter that his time
had come. They assisted him up stairs,
where he took an affectionate leave of his
family, and expired in few moments.
DR.. NLeibmann, who was called in,
was of the opinion that the poison
from the reptile at once reached the
brain. Mr.. Brooks was in his 49th year,
and leaves wife and six children. He
had been for many years engaged in the
business of stuffer and preserver of birds
and animals, and on several previous oc.
casions been bitten by reptiles, about a
year ago by the same rattlesnal5e that
caused his death. On the former occa-
sion he was bitten in the arm, and by the
use of stimulants, binding the arm and
bathing it, he then recovered in a few
days. Baltimore Sun, Nay LIST.

Kent County Rail Road.-An election
for eight Directors will take place at Ches-

question Of locating the upper terminus
was submitted TO the Board at their meet
ing on Tuesday last, when there was tie
vote, 4 to 4, between Townsend and Mid
dletown, one director supposed to be fa-
vorable to Middletown, being absent A
letter, we understand, was received from
Andrew G, Gray, Esq, President of the
New Castle and Frenchtown Rail Road,
apprising the Board that in the Charter Of
that Company it was specified that no road
could be built between Christianna river
and Appoquinimink creek, without the
consent of said corporation. This letter,
it is said, was expected to give the coup
dc-grace to the Middletown men, but il
didn't. The missivc was considered al
together harmless. The question was laid
over, to be determined by the new Board,
which is to be elected on Monday next.

We merely give the foregoing as current

HEAVY STORM AT CRIsFIELD.- heavy
thunder storm, accompanied by hail and a
very high wind, passed over Cris6eld
(Md. } on Saturday night. The hail broke
all the windows out of train of passenger
cars on the Delaware Railroad, and broke a
considerable amount of glass in town. The
wind blew car off the track. The most
singular feature of the storm was its very
limited range. It was scarcely felt on the
Chesapeake Bay, and did little or no dam
age anywhere else than in the vicinity Of
Crisfield. The same storm was particu-
larly violent in Charles and St, Marry's

The contract for the construction of this
road was duly executed ON Friday, the

The contract is for the construction of
the road from near Massey's Cross Roads
by way of Kennedyville and stations near

ner, to the terminus on Swan creek dis
tance of 800 miles of main track; also
all the side tracks, wharf, turntable, en-

which $3.50, ,332 are to'paid in cash, $685.
$40 in Kent county bonds at par, and the
balance, $50, 1000, in the bonds of the
Company at par. The work is to be COM
menced within thirty days, and the sections
from Massey's to Chestertown, with all the
sidings and buildings connected with them,
are to be completed by the first of Janua-
ry next, and the other sections in the like
manner to be finished in 1859. The con-
tractors are Messrs. A. r. Sears, Peter
Sanford and Rodman Backus, of Newark
New Jersey. These gentlemen are said to
have considerable experience in railread
work, and are Understood to be liable and
responsible parties. In regard to the up
per terminus, from Massey's to the Della
ware road, we can only say at present that
there need be no delay in securing the con-
nection in due time.
