A MONSTER NUTTING JoLLFICATIoN.-The Com
missioners OF Paramount Park are certainly doing
their best to win the good graces of the children
During the summer they gave them pleasant green
walks, big Fairgrounds, and scores of pretty flower
BEDS scattered here and there through the park and
the little folks showed how they enjoyed these
facilities by the many little excursion parties camped
out on the lawns by the side of neaped-up baskets.
But the Commissioners, not content with this work,
have showed still keener appreciation of childish
wants. At their meeting on Saturday last they voted
to give the public school children an opportunity to
have an immense nutting party, when the trees are
laden with nuts, just before November comes.
Paramount Park contains great numbers of chestnut,
walnut, hickory and other nut trees big with age,
and in the fall season, loaded with these wholesome
nuggets. The Chief Engineer has been instructed to
make the proper arrangements with the Board of
School Control that the children may have their full
of an oldfashioned, jolly nutting time, that every
one may have fair chance, and all liberty may be
allowed that does not degenerate into unrestrained
license. The City Surveyor has been instructed to
make survey of the park with special reference to
this nuttng lOlliication, mapping out in detail the
position of every tree that will be nutworthy at that
time May the children have pleasant day of it
when it comes just halfway on to Christmas, and
may they realize as delightful times as they will be
sure to promise themselves,

The Rain of snakes-Indian Grave
Gap after the storm.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald. 16th.l
We had an Interesting conversation
yesterday morning with Philip Crane,
Esq a well known and respected citizen
of Campbell county. After the Gus.
tomary remarks about the hot spell
and the usual inquiries regarding the
state of affairs in the political world Of
Campbell county, the conversation
turned on the late rain of snakes in In
dian Grave Gap, narrated in our columns
few days since.
Mr.. Crane informed us that our state
ment of the phenomena was q true one.
He also informed US of sad occurrence
connected with the affair, of which We
had previously heard q rumor. 1t sp.
pears that field hand, working for Jas
Cook, on his farm, about one-hslf mile
from the Gap, was examining the snakes
in the morning succeeding their fall.
Noticing one huge snake, he was in
the act of measuring it with string,
when he discovered that il vas moving.
Starting back in alright he stumbled and
fell with outstretched arms on the horrid
mass of the dying and dead serpents
One of them bit him on the thumb Of the
left hand. The poor fellow hssteued from
the place as quick as possible, and reach
ing the farm house of his employer, va,
given immediate assistance. Notwith
standing every effort, the bitten man died
about sundown.
No such occurrence was ever before
heard of in that section. The alarm oc
casioned BY this freak of nature has moi
yet subsidized.
