BITTIN BY RATTLEsNAKE.-Af few

where the woman bar9s her Drawn, thrusts
it into the cage, seizes the rattesnake and
puts it into her bosom and COLES it about
her neck-in act first, as We said when
she attempted this reckless performance
one of the largest snakes in the collection
stuck his fangs into her fore-fnger, inAic-
ting severe wound. Honest jack who
sat at the door collecting the stamps, heard
a yell Of agony and discovered the cause
Dr. Moody was called in, and at once cut
the affected part and cauterized the wound
Whiskey was at once administered to the
patient and after an hours sleep she was
pronounced quite we'll again and went on
with the exhibition. Not so with the
snake who is reported quite sick, and evi
IDENTITY got the worst Of the bite.-[ Herald

WHEAT IN SToRE.-Every effort is being
made by spectators to force up the price OF
wheat and flour, by crying out that the crop
was short, &c, but il would seem, from the
following figures, taken from Buffalo laper
that there is no necessity tor advancing
prices The amount of wheat stored at Buf-
1alo, august 10, 1870, is ill $40 bushels
against !, 100000 one year previous or
3,711,570 iu excess. At Chicago, Milwau-
kie and New York the amount is two-thirds
in excess of last August.

TuE Democracy have undertaken heavy
job. 1t is 10 gain 65 members in the next
Congress If they can do this they are
correct in estimating that it will give them
working majority; but it will require
harder work than making up table Of
figures showing their intentions. No
one doubts that they will make some gains
in the Southern States. and possibly few
in the Northern. The South would be uu-
;.reaiiul enough if ii turned It's back on
them after SO many sacraifccs; but they
will come far short Of carrying az many
dis tlcts ia that section as they
now count on; while such gains as ten
new members in New YorI, and about the
same in proportion in the other Northern
'ttates, to make the claim good, is too much
ola call CT public creduality, 1t is an
open question which party will make gains.
and the chances of the democracy losing
some Of their districts are quite as good as
their gaining others. Republicans should
take note of the Democratic programme, and
see to il that no discord prevails, and that
every voter does his duty. 1t is safe in
this case to learn wisdom from the enemy,
aud to be watchful and ready for all emer-
soncies. \ Democratic victory would be

1t was said that the tax on gross receipts
was 50 severe upon the railroads and prevcn-
ted them from making as low rates as they
wished. In behalf of the people, the last
Congress relieved the railroads of this tax,
and the principal lines of the country have
shown their gratitude by doubling the price
Of freghts, thus defeating the objects Of
Congressional legislation by putting upon the
country additional millions OF taxation.

Chicago Divorces.
ETIgNNE ARAGo.

Chicago NOT only divorces people by whole
sale but it also marries them, sometimes
without their consent. Here is case in
point. A person rejoicing in the suggestive
name OF Woulfsbach has just filled bill in
the Circuit Court of the city against fe-
male assuming to bear his name, asking to
have an alleged marriage between the par
ties set aside, on the ground that he was
married without knowing it.
Complainant, after alleging that he was
married to the defendont on the Goth of
October last, states that at the time in ques-
tion he was confined to his bed by fit of
extreme illness, and that for several days
during such sickness he was unconscious,
and had lost his presence of mind, and
that while in this state of arrangement 'the
defendant went to the County Clerks office,
procured marriage license, proceeded
thence to a minister of the gospel conduc-
ted him to the bedside of the complainant,
and, while he was laboring under the infu-
ence Of mental paroxysm or arrangement,
the minister united him in marriage to the
defendent 1t is alleged that the defendant
at the time was in complainauts service as
a servant.
He claims that he knew nothing of the
so-called marriage until some time after,
when he recovered, aud that he has never
treated the women as his wife. Persons not
disposed to enter the marriage state will do
well to ovoide Chicago.-Erie Republican.

FIVE YOUNG MEN STRUCK DEAF
The report we mentioned yesterday that
five young men had been struck deaf at
Helena, Arakansas. is fully confirmed,
though the phenomena remains a painful
mystery. Gne of the young men, as we
stated, is IN the city for treatment. His
rame is Hobb, and he formerly clerked in
MANSFIELD & Hig5ee's drug store. Yester-
day he wls met and accosted by an old
acquaintance yesterday who had not
heard of his misfortune. He produced
pencil and raper and wrote-'I cannot hear
word you say; l have beon struck deaf
This rather dumblounded his friend, but
they went into Higbee's drug store and
had long talk on paper.
The additional particulars which we have
learned are as follows: The young meu
were together in a room one evening last
week, aud when they separated for the
night all were as we'll as usual, Next moI-
ming the alarming fact was discovered that
they were all completely deaf, and the most
of them suffering from heavy pain in the
head. No relief could be had in Helena ;
so four of them went to New Orleans for
treatment, and young Mr.. Robb came to
Memphis, put himself under the treatment
Of DR.. Voorhees,. Various eonjectures
have been made as to the cause
of this singular occurrence; some ascribe it
to direct visitation of Providence others,
of superstitious minds, to some subtitle in-
fuence, not of God nor yet of man, while
some seek to find scientific cause in the
condition of the weather, or what they ate
aud drank on the oecupation,- Memphis
