p Hogs as Snake Exter1ninators.

A FARMER living on the west side of the
river, in walking about his place, discover
ed nest Of rattlesnakes in an old log
about which several large pieces of rock
lay scattered Our friend had heard
that hogs were death on snakes Of all
sorts, and not caring to attack the nest
himself, he thought he would try, the
experiment and see fight. He drove
several hogs tinAthe vicinity of the nest,
and watched the result. The hogs, soon
seemed to scent the varmints, and com
menced roofing eagerly about the spot
In anainatant half-a- dozen of the vicious
serpents emerged from their hiding
places to attack the intruders, who mani
tested jealous disposition to go in.
A snake would rear himself to the
height of the back of the hog, shake his
rattles and plunge his fangs into the ami :
NAL with hghtning-like celebrity, and then
dart away pursued by the grunter, who
deXteTously. received the sting upon the
feshy part Of the lower jaw. Time and
again this would be repeated, until the
hog got his forefo0t upon the snake, when
he would deliberately rip Mr. Snake in
twain, and then .deyour him. This slaugh
disposed of, when the hogs grunted con-
tentedly, and, without any signs Of being
disturbed, waddled off in search. of other

lar contest, which was not without its
exciting features, declares himself COM

DR.. GAUTz aScelebrated German physi-
ologist, has been applying himself for
some time past to experimental investiga-
tons fort purpose Of ascertaining to
what extent internal Refrigeration is pju-
rious tothe system. Arguing from the
extent and number of the epigastric YES
sells, and their extraordinary influence
upon the general pressure of the blood,
Dr. Gautz had been led to the conclusion
that the extensive use of cold liquids must
necessarily contract the minute arteries of
the epigastric region and the adjacent or
gans, thereby increasing the srterial pres
sure of the BLOOD and inducing hemor-
rhage Of the lungs, apoplexy, and kindred
Diseases A, series of experiments upon
dogs seemed to give positive proof that
such was the natural result. It has been
suggested that the startling number Of
what are termed, sun strokes which have
occurred during the present season may
have been induced to some extent by the
excessive, consumption of iice-coidr soda
weter. Whether or not this idea has any
genuine foundation, prudenceC would sug-
gest very guarded use of icy drinks at

SUICIDE IN A RAILROAD CAR--Yesterday
morning, when the Buffalo express train ar
rived at the Calvert Station, the attention of
policeman Davidson was called by one of the
employees of the road to a man then lying in the
water-closet of one of the cars, supposed to be
in dying condition. The man was at once re-
moved to the middle district police station in an
unconscious condition, and from papers found
on his person it was ascertaieed that his name
was Jonathan Shaw, Of Oxford, Massachusetts,
where his wife resides. Ii appears that as the
train approached the city he went into the
water-clOset and shot himself in the mouth with
single barrelled pistol. He fingered until
about half-past 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
attended by Drs. Milton n. Taylor, Warren and
others, who did all in their power to save life,
but without effect. Coroner Carr held an in
quest, the jury rendering verdict that he came
to bis death from pistol ball, fred by his own
hands, whilst laboring under temporary in
sanity. The deceased was about fifty years of
age, and had in his possession S6S3.9S in money,
a gold watch, razor, and a number of other
small articles. Marshal Farlow telegraphed
to his friends in Massachusetts, and in the mean
time the body has been placed in the vault

from Ujiji to Zanzibar, requesting to be supplied
from that point with boatmen and goods, to en-

ganyika, 80 as to connect the sources he had dis
covered with the Nile of Spoke and Baker. On
October I'd, 1863, DR.. Kirk, British consul at
Zanzibar, in his dispatch to Lord Clarendon,
stated that he would lose no time i'm sending the
men and supplies to Livingstone. Sir Roderick

MARVELLOUS ESCAPE OF A MINER.-A most
remarkable escape from instant death occurred
short time since at the New York mine, in
Marquette county, Michigan. The Mining Jour
nal says: "One of the miners was engaged i'm
charging an immense hole, fourteen feet i'm
depth, in which he had to put charge of eleven
kegs Of powder, to which was attached a fuse,
thought to be of sufficient length to enable the
man to make good his retreat when fired. By
some mishap the fuse cOiled at the instant it was
ignited, the fire coming in contact with and
igniting the fuse at the hole. The consequence
was an instantaneous explosion, throwing cut
as estimated, quite 5000 tons of rock. The man
that touched off the fuse was thrown perpen-
dicularly into the air distance of twenty feet,
coming down on top and in the midst of masses
of rock thrown out by the blast. Singular as
well as fortunate to relate, with the exception
OF slight scratch on two of bis fingers, he was
entirely uninjured. The man maintained a
remarkable GOODNESS and presence of mind
under the circumstances, evinced by his singing
out to his comrades to keep back, as they were
running up to the scene, expecting to find him
blown to atoms. "KeeF back,'' said he
,'perhaps it hasn't all gone Off yet and you'll get
hurt"

the subject Of lien law to protect both the con-
tractor and wOrkmen.
Mr.. Alfred Richards, from a committee here
tofore appointed to examine the lien laws of the
several States, with the view OF drafting one for
this District, reported that the committee had
performed the duty assigned to them, and had
decided 10 present the lien laws of New Jersey
and Maryland, either of which gave greater
protection to mechanics than the laws Of this
District.
The secretary then read the laws referred to
either of which would be suitable with slight
amendments. The lien law of Connecticut was
also read.
Mr.. Richards thought this law, with a section
giving sub-contractOrs the right to enter lien,
was just what was wanted in this District
Mr.. Grinder presented the lien law which was
prepared some years ago for the new code of
laws for the District of Columbia, but never
adopted.
These laws were all discussed, and afterwards
