SINGULAR SNAKE.-Dr. S. W. Crawford of

contured by him in Western Virginia, which
M naturalist who has seen it can can assign
q nleee among the species. 1t is of milk
white color from head to tail, with the exeep
finn Of few brown spccks scattered along the
back. 1t is now about ti7e feet in length, and
not more than two and a halt inches 10 c!fcun-
terence of the thickcst part. 1t has as yet no
noisou fang in the mouth, which ls, however,
nrovded with teeth as keen az cambria nee

nendare about half an inch In length, which
It used with deadly effect at the time OF It's
capture.
The body is 90 slender that when held up to
the light of tho sun the light shines through II
precisely as when the fineers of the bend are
| held before the light Of a lamp or jet OF gas.
| T. Suddenly belongs to the race of cunstictoia.
| Dr. Crawford who handles it to the utmost
| freedom, says that it will clasp his arms with
snch force as to stop the circulation OF the
hlood. On one OCCASION, when he was exhibit
inr it, he had allowed it to coil itself about his
| neck. At this moment young lady came up
behind, and did not discover the reptile until
within lew feet OF it. The sight so startled
hcr that she uttered shrek. The soake,
Which is invariably startled by any sudden
noise, frightened lis folds SO that the doctor
was in danger of sulfocation.
The snake has grown about seven seven

An Ohio Woman Makes Her Quietus
with a Dose of Morphine.

An Ohio Woman Makes Her Quietus
with a Dose of Morphine.
From the Vicksburg 0Iissl Times July l.
Coming direct from Cincinnati, O.,
and arriving in this city day before
yesterday, about 10 A. NJ. Mrs. Coop
er registered herself at the Wilcr
House, bringing with her trunks and
some furniture. She seemed very
much depressed in spirits, expressed
sorrow at not having brought refer
ences, and, while talking with the
landlady, several times commenced
sobbing Historically. In a conversa-
ton with the lady of the house she
gave in substance the following 1nfor-
nation of herself: "That she came
here with the intention of starting a
dress-making establishment, and wish
ed to secure rooms for that purpose !;
that her husband had left her for the
purpose of carrying their child to
school, and would arrive in Vicksburg
in about six weeks, adding that she
lived very unhappily with him."
Yesterday morning, the servant 60
ing to her OOH to the readi-
ness of breakfast, could not arouse
her, as she was sleeping soundly as if
much fatigued /; and no attempt was
made until dinner time, when, becom-
ing alarmed at the unnatural appear
ance of the slumberer, physicians were
hastily called in. On examination, a
paper that had contained morphine
was found upon her person ; the con-
tents of which she had evidently
swallowed. There was also found a
very large pistol-a seven-shooter-a
letter addressed to Mr.. Henry Cooper,
Morrow, Warren County, o., and also
one to Mrs. Wilder. the landlady.-
The latter ran af follows:
"NIrs. Wilder: Dear Madam-Will
you see to having nv things shipped
to Cincinnati, Ohio, to II Cooper?
L have written a letter to him to get
them. There is a white dress in my
trunk that is hardly cut, and l want
to be buried in it. AL the rest of my
put IN my trunk and ship rs
freight, as well as the furniture. Have
me buried here. 1 have money in
my pocket book-S29. If that isn't
enough to pay my expenses sell some
of the furniture. Send the balance
to Mr.. Henry Cooper, Morrow, War
rem County, Ohio; he is my husband.
Send him everything to Cincinnati,
but bury me here.
"HATTIE."
Ere this account is read by our
readers, in all probability, her soul
has hidden its farewell to earth, for
it was hardly expected that she would
live till morning. She was a middle
aged woman, about forty years old,
and, we believe, a perfect stranger
in tho citv-
