A Little Girl Attacked by a Snake.

An exciting and dangerous encounter with
snake took place in Canterbury. N. H.,
few days ago. Nellie Dodge, aged about
years, a daughter OF Mr.. James Dodge,
substantial farmer in Canterbury, accom-
panied by another little girl about the same
age as herself, went out into field near Mr..
Dodge's house in the afternoon to gather
strawberries. They had wandered but
short distance when Nellie accidently trod
upon something in the deep grass, and in
stantly large black snake sprung up at her,
and Immediately commenced to wind itself
around her legs ENGAGED at having been
trodden upon, the snake lifted its head and
showed its anger Ivy its protruding tongue
and flashing eyes. The child thus in
danger was nearly overcome with fright
but her companion, with presence of
mind seldom exhibited 10y one OF her
age, quickly found two sticks, and
giving one to Nellie. they both commenced
an attack upon the reptile. Again enraged,
the snake cntleavoIed to wind himself closer
and higher upon the body of the child, and
succeeded in biting her three times severely
before he was driven away. The child was
assisted homG'hy her companion, and is now
unQer tue care vi pilySiClaii. One vi neI
limbs is badly swollen and inflamed, but
she will probably recover.
From the description given by the chill
dren of the snake, there is no doubt but that
it was of the variety of the black snake pop
ularly known as the Racer" This kind
grows to the length of seven and sometimes
eight feet, has white ring around its neck,
and when running carries its head erect from
six to eight inches above the ground. The
children spoke particularly of the "white
string tied around its neck" meaning its
ring. They spoke of it as being what to
them seemed fabulous size, and said that
when it ran off it kept its head up in the
air and looked back at them. The bite of
the snake is not venomous, but is injurious.

rations of the government of the United
States or of the Confederate States, without
any criminal iqent to aid the rebellion, and
to hold the Contract void, will simply have
the effect to encourage dishonesty"
1t was not against the public policy of
the State of North Carolina, according to
the laws then existing and recognized
both by the wrongful government then in
power, and the. rightful government which
was, for tue time, deprived of its power. 1t
was not against the policy of the act of Con-
gress, 1862, or of the proclamation OF the
President, for, as we have seen, it could not
effect that policy, in localities not under
the control of the armies of the United
States, whetbe. a pers.,n was held as slave
by A or by B, provided, under the circum-
stances, he was to be the slave of some person.
So far as good morals are involved, the mat
ter is not to be viewed, as we con-
ceive, from standpoint, where the institu-
tion of slavery is deemed wicked and in vio-
lation of the laws of God and of the rights
of man but from standpoint, where the in
stitution was considered as established and
made lawful by the laws of the State, and
recognized and protected by the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and had been han
| detl down and acted upon from father to son
among our people from the first settlement
of the colony OF Carolina.
The Court is unable TO see any ground,
either on the score of public policy or of
good morals, upon which it should refuse to
enforce this contract and allow the defend
ant to escape the payment of "a just debt.
Woodfn VS.. Sluder, Phil. 200 is in point.
True, the question was not made,
but that proves it had not entered
into the head of any one to con-
ceive that the act of hiring a slave
or of selling slave in North Carolina. out
side of the lines of the U. S. Army was
against public policy, or against good
morals,
The, idea, that the subsequent action of
Congress and the ordinance of our Conven-
ton, can have the effect by relation or by
post Hminii to enlarge the operation of the
/ act of 1862 and of the proclamation so as to
| give to those measures the effect OF abolish
| ing slavery, and making the institution I'M
lawful at the date of this transaction, and
consequently making the act of the parties
wicked and against good morals, has, in
our opinion, nothing sound to rest on, either
! in law, ethics or good sense. Coming
events cast their shadows before them, but
''events accomplished" do not cast shade
behind, SO as to make unlawful that which
at the time it was done, was not against
| law. This would violate the immutable
principle of justice adopted in our Consti-
tuition, by which ec post .tacto laws are for
| hidden. There is no error. =.

In like manner the military order of Gen.
Sherman, after the surrender simply had the
effect of announcing, that the whole State
was then under the control of the army of
the United States, and that by force of the
act of 1862, and the proclamation of the
President, and the order of General Sherman
as military commander, all persons then helt
as slaves in the State of North Carolina
were free and should be so treated.
This operated upon persons then held as
slaves in the State of North Carolina, but
surely military order could not have the
effect of abolshing or making unlawful the
institution of slavery. That was left as an
act that could only be done by the gocern-
meg.t of the United States or by an ordinance
of convention of the people of the State;
apart from the action of the government OF
the United States and the convention of the
State, there could have been, in legal con-
temptation, no more wrong in procuring
other slaves to supply the place OF those
taken lam US by the results of the war,
than in buying other property to put in
place of that taken from us Ivy the armies
of the United States and OF the Cenfedc-
rate States.
So our case comes back to this point in
April 1864, the plaintiff, as administrator, in
the county of Hartford, which was not within
the lines or under the control of the army of
the United States, offers for sale, according to
the laws of the State.and does sell at auction
negro man slave. The defendant becomes
the purchaser, pays partof the price, takes
the slave, and executes his bond for the bah
ance of the price. In what point of view
can this transaction be considered against
public policy, or as SO violating good morals
as to authorize a court of justice to refuse to
enforce the contract2 As is said (IIooper
