derful preservation and beauty OF her teeth,
and could not refrain from mentioning it. Yes,
said she, Il never had a toOthache or lost a
tooth. because bit:the snake On inquiry,
she stated that, when children at home, their
father had made them bite rattIesnak c, be
holding the reptile by the head and tail; each
child bit along the entire length OF the back
bone, not violently, but just so as to indent the
skin, and this was considered an intalhblc reel
pc against toothache and decay, which the old

ARRIVAL OF SNAKES AND Monk EYs.-On
Saturday afternoon the bark Zingerella, Capt.
Shaw, arrived at this port from Bissau, on the
west coast of Africa. The bulk OF her cargo
consisted of hides aud peanuts, but by way OF
variety. she also brough t five Demonstrators
and four large dog faced monkeys. The largest
Of the serpents is twenty eight feet long, Is OF
immense girth, and weighs nine hundred and
odd pounds. On its arrival it had not eaten
for six weeks. Its meal at that time consisted
of twelve small cats and good sized dog,
which it disposed of 10 the course of night
On Saturday night, showing signs OF hunger, q
live cat was given to it, which it speedily crush
ed and swallowed A second live cat still re-
mains in the cage. The wretched animal evinces
extreme terror at the presence OF Its deadly
foe. This is the largest serpent ever brought
to this country. 1t is immensely powerful, as
the effects of climate have hardly yet lessened
it's natural vigor. The other serpehts range
from eighteen to twsnty-three feet in length
The reptiles were taken to the yard of board
inr house at ~ North Square, where they have
since been inspected by large numbers OF per-
sons. IL is expected that they will soon be
purchased by some menagerie proprietors.-
