A SNAKE SToRY.-The Winona Min
nesota Republican Of the 18th, says:

nesota Republican Of the 10th, says:
On Sunday last, a boy four years old,
son Of Peter Brennan, living at the top
Of the hill back Of Woodlawn Gene
terry, fell asleep on the grass, under the
cool and delightful shade Of the old
trees. Suddenly a brother Of the little
boy, 8 or 8 years old, was alarmed at
hearing him utteriug the most frantic
cries, and running to the spot where
he lay, found that a snake had erawled
up. the leg Of his panthloons and
twined his loathsome coils around the
body Of the little sleeper. Fortunately
the snake lay between the shirt and
jacket, and tho older boy, with great
GOODNESS and presence of mind, and q
degree Of courage which would have
been wanting In many older people,
seized the snake by the head and there
held him with the grip Of hero, until
the parents could come to the rescue
and remove the clothing from the little
fellow, who was almost thrown Into
commissions by the terrible fright.
Most fortunately, he escaped without
being bitten, and, strange to say, the
snake escaped without being killed.
BE was a blue racer, three feet long.

CoUNTERFEIrs.-The notes OF the
New York city banks, It Is stated, are
most generally used by counterfeitsrs,
probably because they pass readily
throughout the country. The United
States Treasury Notes, It Is also said.
have always been favorites with coun-
terfeiters. The designs Of these notes
are so intricate that imitation Is diff
cult, and is only attempted By the
most expert engravers. A good coun-
terfeit Of a Treasury note, when once
produced, will, IL Is stated, circulate
more freely than any other description
Of notes. Most Of the Issues Of the
Treasury notes have been initiated,
but the most prominent counterfeit Is
the twenty-dollar note Of the issue Of
March 10, 1852, the workmanship being
admirable and the engraving and the
printing being In many respects equal
to the original. In reference to the
ten-dollar treasury notes, 1t is stated
that c~ounterfeits Of two issues have
been In circulation for some time, and
that recently a third plate, which Is
considered very dangerous, has been
detected. The latter plate Is said to
be a facsimile Of tho genuine, and ex-
perts, It Is reported, have been de-
ceived by the impressions, which arc
very perfect. There are also counter
felts OF fifty dollar treasury notes, and
Of twenty dollar notes Of the issue Of
March 8, 1853. The above are the most
dangerous counterfeits In circulation,
but denominations Of ones, twos, fves
and tens fthe legal tender notes have
also been Initiated, but the ~counterfeits
have been executed BY Indifferent en-
grayers and are readily detected.

Following fast upouthe heels Of The
terrible tragedy on the Westneld, at
New York, a few Sundays ago, we
have at least four moro Wholesale sac

to as many ~ were killed and wound
ed In some of the pitched battles Of the
American Revolution. Three Of the
more recent Of the accidents" a.
these horrible daughters Of helpless
passengers are called, are railway
crashes, and one Of them Is an addi-
tional steamboat boiler explosion on a
vessel containing several hundred ex-
cursionists. One Of them-happily the
least fatal-occurred In Pennsylvania
on Saturday a week /; a second on the
Eastern Railroad, . few miles out OF
Boston, on Saturday evening, and q
third at Mobile, Alabama, on Sunday
q week-all within thirty-six hours
Of each other. In the first 1.-THE Phila-
delphia and Erie crashh the number
killed outright Is reported to be six,
and the seriously injured, fourteen ; in
the second (the Massachusetts railway
crashl the number already dead L. %,
and the badly injured about as many
more !; and In the third 1.-THE Mobile ex-
ploslonL the killed, drowned and in
jured are set down In the first report,
In rough estimates, 80 to 80 killed
and wounded" The last may DO modi-
fed by later news. This Is a fearful
catalogue for a single Saturday and
Sunday, but In all probability 1t will
pass away like all others, without re-
suit as to the reform and the punish
ment 1t should bring, and live only in
the memory Of the bereaved families
amongst whom the d~eath-bolts have
been 30 suddenly and so terribly scat

Il vanishing away from the public
mind, and Is now but little more than
a memory, and so the others will come
to be, until public opinion, expressed
in some unmistakable way, compels
the law authorities, National, State
and local, to fix the responsibility for
such destruction Of life 20 clearly that
there can be no shifting or evasion.

The New York Commercial ddrertise,
has this about puzzling situation:
1t is reported that King Charles of Swe.
den is about to marry daughter Of the
King Of Denmark If so, there will be a
new genealogical Apzzle-for the King of
Sweden's daughteY is already married to
the King Of Denmark's son; the new bride
groom will therefore become his own
daughters brother-in-law, and the Danish
Crown Prince will be the son Of his own
sister. similar tangle exists among the
Mormon leaders in Utah-the rebeilious
Elder Stenhouse. not long ago, married a
daughter of Brigham Young, and son of
Brigham married Stenhouse's daughter. The
worst Of this Mormon business is, that in
the rebellion against Brigham, the two
wives take the sides respectively of their
fathers. .Things are mixed' accordingly.

BURGLARY ON EsPIANADE STREET
Monday night the residence of Mr.. H. Bald
win, corner of Esplanade and Derbigny
streets, was entered by burglar and ran
sacked, from kitchen to loft. Even the
pantry did not escape notice, for table ware
and provisions were stolen. Bedrooms and
dining-room were overhauled, and every
article Of disposab.e value taken. Silver
ware had the can, although diamond pin
was not rejected; the same for gold
watch and chain, silver match box, sleeve
buttons and studs, worth not less than four
hundred dollars. 1t was evident the rascal
knew the premises toierably well, and, per-
haps, had beea there before in more honest
capacity. A gentleman in an adjoining
dwelling fortunately saw the fellow depart
ing, and fired two shots at him, but without
effect, SO far as heard from. Suspicion fell
on Martha Pierce, who occasionally washed
for the family, as her actions yesterday in
dicated that she was aware of the theft, at
least had some knowledge Of the business.
Her house was searched, but nothing found
to criminate her. The robbery was bold
one. The gentleman who fred the two
shots at the thief from window, could not
see tbs culprit sufficiently plain to know
him hereafter.

This is what the New York Commercial
Adrertiser has 70 say about General Butler:
The Democracy Of Massachusetts have
nominated their strongest man for governor
He can not hope TO defeat General Butler in
the race. but his nomination only makes it
the more imperative for the Republicans to
rally around the hero OF New Orleans The
Old Bay State wants stirring up. 1t has
been running too long in the same old rut
Adams and Butler opposed would furnish
the needed Alternative. In the collision of
such intellects Massachusetts would be
aroused from her letlargy. While they were
begging away it would be impossible for her
to sleep, and somnolency is what ails her.
By all means LEI these gladiators be pitted
against each other.
