LAST week an old man named
John Roberts, commonly known
as the mountain hermit, who has
lived for many years in that por-
ton Of Mount Washington which
borders on the three States of
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
New York met with Q frightful
death from the bite of a rattle
snake. Roberts, for years past,
has been in the habit of catching
these reptiles and exhibiting them
in the neighboring towns, Occa-
sionally he would allow himself to
be bitten, claiming to possess
a remedy which rendered the
bite perfectly harmless, and, in
deed, if reports of eye wit
nesses are to be credited, the old
man has proved himself invulnera-
Bile to snake bites. Last summer
he was bitten on three different
occasions while handling his
snakes, but after a few days of re-
tirement he again appeared, appa-
rently as well as before. Mr.
Roberts was a man apparently
over sixty years Of age, and pos
sessed of considerable property.
Since the death of his wife, which
occurred many years ago, he has
lived a hermit life on the noun.
tain. Neighbors seldom visited
him, by reason Of the vast number
of rattlesnakes with which he waG
always surrounded, and which hC
allowed to run at large throughout
the house. Litch6eld Enquirer

LONDON, August 10.
Our special correspondent, writing
from Prussian headquarters ct Mayence,
Saturday morning, says: The news of
the Prussian victory over Mcmahon has
inst been made known. The fight was
very bloody. Great loss on the Prussian
side as well as on the French. The Ba-
yarian troops behaved finely. Many
Turcos were taken prisoners.
Bismarck, before leaving Berlin, was
asked whether. if successful, Germany
ought not to insist on Napoleon's abdica-

Figaro asserts that 81 divisions of
French infantry and 8 of cavalry have
not yet been engaged-making 220, 600
men altogether.
A special correspondent writes from
Paris, last night, that Marshal d'Hilliers'
proclamation against forming groups in
the streets Is nearly q dead letter. There
are always, day and night, large assem-
blies about the Ministry of the Interior,
waiting for news and considerable
groupes about all the depots where news
papers are sold, reading the news aloud
and commenting on 1t. The reason,
which | missed finding out last night,
why the cafes were shut up and the Bou-
levards cleared at IL o'clock, was that
crowds of people clamoring for arms had
been charged by cuirassiers and sergeants

Place Vendome was inaccessible all the

San Francisco, August 10.
The wal excitement is extending even
to politics; and promises to seriously
affect the coming elections; the Germans
being so deeply incensed at the Irish for
their avowed sympathy with the French
as to ALLEVIATE them, in many cases, from
old political associations.
The nomination of Austin as Tax Col
lector is conceded to be the strongest
which could have been made, and those
intending to vote the taxpayers ticket
generally favor its Endorsement by that
body.
The keepers of the principal houses
Of i'll fame have signifed to Chief Of
Police Crowley their willingness to COM
ply with orders to keep their doors
closed, curtains down, and inmates in
visible to people on the streets-proyided
the officers who have been stationed in
front Of their premises are withdrawn,
and direct surveillance ended. An in
formal armistice on that basis now exists.
Louis DORA, who died suddenly from
he~morrhage Of the lungs, at IA Stock
ton street, was a native of New York,
aged IS years.
Attempts are being made to sqnelch
the movement for a meeting of Irish for
the purpose of expressing sympathy
with France in the present war; on the
ground that it will, if held, tend to ag-
gravate the i'll feeling already existing
between them and the Germans on this
subject, and affect the political situation
injuriously.
Two members Of the Democratic
Nominating Committee asked, this even
ing, that the Chief of Police station off,
GERS at the door to protect them from
violence, If necessary. They said they
desired to vote contrary to the majority
on Fire Commissioner, and feared That
they would be assaulted; as threats had
been made against them if they did 50.

I can assure you all that he would never
have the temcrity to undertake such q
thing again" LVlL'.''IL
Silas f. Burrows, esq.,, who was on
board. being informed that the Executive
had been assaulted and beaten, called upon
the Marshal OF the District. who was also
OF board, to follow him, and he would as
sist him in arresting Randolph. Accord.
ingly Mr.. Burrows Immediately pursued
and caught him within sixty rods Of the
wharf, and he and Mr.. Clapp held him
for some time, requesting the bystanders
to aid them in securing him. stating at the
same time that he had struck the Presi-
dent Of the United States, on board Of the
steamer at the wharf; but no one came to
his assistance, and the friends of Randolph
pulled of Mr.. Burrows, and allowed him
to escape. o.
Burrows nevertheless still pursued him,
calling upon the marshal to aid him. The
marshal followed until within short dis
lance of the public house, when he refused
to 20 any farther, when Burrows gave up
the pursuit, and reluctantly returned to
the boat. ..
The steamer then left the wharf on her
way down the river. 1t was reported that
Randolph had been taken, but when IL
was found out that he had not, 1t was
deemed advisable for the marshal to return
to Alexandria; and he was landed at Fort
Washington, four miles below that city,
to which he proceeded without delay.
Randolph had. however, made his escape.
It seems that after he had broken from
Mr.. Burrows the last time, no went to a
stable where horse was standing, sad
died and bridled, and ready for him,
which he mounted and fastened out Of
the city. w"|
From that circumstance Il was supposed
he had intended TO commit amuch more
serious assault than he did.
On General Jackson's return from the
dedication ceremonies ut fredericksburg
and arrival at Alexandria, national salute
was fired. The Mayor and Common Coun-
Gil of the city came on board, and COM
municated to the President, in u speech
delivered by the Mayor, the deep regret
which the citizens of Alexandria felt ut
the indignity offered to his person by Ran
dolph at that place. The Mayor conclud-
ed by reading tho resolutions passed at a
meeting Of the citizens, called in conse-
quence of this outrage, to which the Pres
ident replied in feeling manner. On
reaching the city Of Washington a large
concourse Of citizens had assembled on
the wharf. The Mayor and Common
Council waited upon the President in
the cabin, and the Mayor. General Van
Ness. delivered spirited address TO the
President, expressing his regret, rs also
that Of the citizens of Washington gem

to which the lattcrrcplied in his peculiarly
happy style and left the boat. On landing
