A SHIP PASSES THROUGH A WRrTHING Mass OF
REPrnEs.-The statement published in last Sun
days Times, that the steamship Merico, Captain
Pit6eld, off the Tortugas, steamed through q tangled
mass of snakes of all sizes, has since been the sub
ject of much comment "Snake stories" are
proverbially uncertain; but we are now enabled
authoritatively to declare that this particular one
may be safely relied on.
Our original account was incorrect in one par
ticular only. Instead OF two hours ard a half, as
stated. the Merico was no more than one hour
and a half in passing through this horrible mass Of
writhing reptiles. They were of all sizes, from the
ordinary green water snake of two feet, to mon
sters-ge9aine q sea serpents ~ of fourteen to fifteen
feet in length. The larger snakes. when the swell
produced by the movement. of the vessel reached
them, would. we are Informed, partly raise them
selves up from the water. as in the attitude Of
striking. and dart out their tongues 6ercely and
~wickedly at the waves. The greatest interests

gone " down to the sea in ships,r and which may
possible never greet human eyes again We can
think OF no valid explanation on the slbiect, miles,

that the shade OF that famous snake<festroyer, on
ing in Florida, aud has shown that he has lost none
OF his old skill by driving on Ia the mass its myr-
lads of reptiles. from the coast.
Seriously speaking, however, the presence Of
these snakes in the waters OF the Tortngas ia re-
markable occurrence-one which msy elaia the
attention Of the scientific. One fact at least is
proven. That fact is, that under some special re-
vulsion of the laws ordinarily controlling them.
snakes live in salt water. After this experience:
the existence of the mysters0as "sea serpent"
becomes again an & open question"
Our authority for this statement is Captain U A.
Pitfield himself. who expresses himself ready to
vouch for every particular as here recorded--A.U

THE NEW THEATRE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS


In common with the great mass Of your
readers, was delighted to learn, through your
lively and go-ahead paper, that theatre for
Charleston is at last a fixed fact, and that the
project is to be carried into effect with so little
delay. 1t is to be hoped sthat little extra
expense will not be sparedHo render it COM
plete job-an opera hou& which. in all it's
appointments, shall DO an oanamentand a credit
to Charleston. No one WHO is familiar with
the dimensions and arrangements of the best
and most comfortable Northern theatres, and
who has seen the interior Of the Adger build.
ing, can fail to have noticed the remarkable
adaptability Of that fine structure for CONVEX
sion, at moderate cost, into a first class tenn
pie of the drama; and it Would certainly nrcye
false economy in the end to omit any feature
from the plan of alteration that would add to
the completeness and elegance Of the edifice.
Let the stage be so roomy, in respect to
heighth and depth as well as width, as to meet
every exigency OF the scenic effects which
form 80 attractive an adjunct Of the modern
drama, and, above all, let ready and abundant
means Of egress be provided, so that all may
feel that the theatre is safe as well as an
attractive resort.
We oil know how handsome revenue the
patchwork theatre Of Hibernian Hall has paid
the society, and this, too. through seasons OF
unexampled dullness and Business torpor; and
now that our oty is waking up, regaining her
lost trade and striding ahead in the race OF
commercial progress, no one can doubt that a
good theatre, which shall induce 6rst-clas
companies to visit our community, and be
worthy the support Of odr own citizens and
those who come among us for purposes of
trade, travel, health or pleasure, will be one of
the most profitable investments in which capi-
tai can be employed. THE News has already
shown, in q striking light, the important ipAu-
ence that a fine theatre would indirectly have
upon the prosperity of our city; and should
the enterprising proprietor Of the Adger build
ing feel indisposed to supply the requisite
amount OF money to execute the alterations in
fitting style, few Of our leading merchants
wo Id surely find their account in stepping tor
ward and helping on the work as matter Of
BUSINESS.
