last by a grand pow-wowi over thIteiiSrI, thIteiirI,

inclined we in no way got mixed up
in the:affair, and therefore can give no
account Of the doings. Judging from
outside appearances the whole thing
passed off very orderly. Most'of the
business houses and many of the .pRi-
vate residences were brilliantly llur
minated and tastefully decorated,
which, with the torchlight procession;
the bands of music, and display of fire
works gave the town very pleasant

From the Dubuque Times, July 10.
1HritinO Adrentmre With u Rattle
snake.

Last Monday morning, Mr.. Richard
Bennett, u student, who is enjoying
summer vacation at his fathers well APP
pointed mansion, q short distance SOUTH
west OF Dubuque, took q volume often
nyson's poems in his hand and wander.
cd out to repose beneath some rocks
which extended a grateful shade, and
also feast his soul upon the pOetical
truths and beauties breathed forth by
the poet laureate. He flung himself
down upon the grass, and was soon lost
in contemplation of king and princess,
shady grottOes, summer bowers, and en-
chanted land, until overcome by the
themes presented and the warm wealth
er, he fell asleep.
How long he lay thus he knew not, it
might have been for hours, but he was
suddenly awakened by peculiar rust
ling noise close behind him. Instinct
lively he turned his head to the point
from whence the sound proceeded, when
he beheld sight which frOze him with
horror, and which he, if an ordinary
man, will not be apt to forget until his
dying day. There, not four feet from
HIM, coiled up as if ready for spring,
with his head erect, eyes darting fire,
and tongue playing like forked lightn-
ing from the bosom of the clouds, was an
enormous rattlesnalke, over eight feet in
length. 1t would be hard to describe
the feelings of Bennett at that moment.
Fresh and vigorous, in the springtime
of life, the world with its dazzling flu
ture before him, hardly stones throw
from his fathers house, death, in it's
most terrible form had apparently come
upon him. His presence Of mind did
not desert him, however, and he lay
perfectly mOtionless, fixing his eyes up
on those OF his snakeship, and waiting
for new developments.
This appeared to suit the latter. Ora
dually he relaxed his menacing attitude,
and lowering his head, commenced to
crawl slowly toward Bennett, at the
same time emitting a low, murmuring,
singing sound, which the impromptu
nearer describes as having been really
delightful. Nearer andnearer came the
snake, Bennett remaining perfectly
