A FrightfuI Story.

We do not know when we have read
anything more horrible than this, from
the Louisville (Clay County, Ill,) Ledger ::
The Rev, DR.. Hankins, of Ridgeway,
gave to b. j. Rotan, Esq, the following
irightful story, and to the last-named
gentleman we are indebted for tho same
DR.. Hankins was the attending physician,
and is man of responsibility, and as the
story, unreasonable as it may seem, comes
through only one person, of trustworthi-
ness, We can safely vouch for its truth !;
Mrs. Sarah Parker, the wife of Thos.
Parker, living near Thawneetown, has
been afflicted for some time, and about
two months ago grew worse and was
troubled with frequent spasms. Just as
she was recovering from one of these fits,
while suffering very much, her attendants
discovered four snakes, some ten or four
teen inches long, crawl from her mouth,
cape and gaze around, and then seek a
hiding-place amcng the hair of her head.
These the doctor secured and placed them
in a jar Of water and fed theu sugar to
keep them alive. About an hour after
the four snakes came from her mouth
another, much larger and nearly three
quarters of an inch in diameter, crawlecl
so far out that Mrs. Parker, caught sight
of it, when she again went into spasm
An effort was made by the physician 10
seize this one with his tweezers but il
disappeared down her throat. The
snakes captured were, as we have stated
between ten and fourteen inches long, and
the doctor described them as nearly as
large as his little finger. They had 4
peculiar joint about an inch and a hal
back of their head, and were of darkist
brown color. They gazed about as il
strangers to light and living objects. Two
or three Of the snakes were sent to physi
clans and naturalists in Chicago and St
Louis, and these scientific men write back
that they belong to no species known tC
them, or found in natural or scientific
history. Mrs Parker lived about two
months after this terrible occurrence, anc
died on the ed inst. Owing to objection!
made by her husband, no post-mortcn
examination Of the body was had"

What uniform is he to woar7 He is
not tho first civilian who has become tho
ruler Of France, but he is the first who
has been without uniform. Under the
former kingly, republican and Imperial
rule, every official had peculiar uniform.
In the reign of Napoleon III. the Sem
ators had black, swalIow-tail coats with
gold braiding, and the Deputies wore
blue swallow-tails with silver braiding-
in fact, the legion of officials we're all in

Apprentice Wanted.

We want a young man to learn the
printing business. He must be between
the ages Of thirteen and seventeen. One
who does not know an EN- quad from a
shooting stick preferred. Willingness
to play second fiddle to the foreman, as
well as ourself, for few years, an inde-
spcnsable qualification. He is not to
have more than three sweet.hearts, nor
corner-lounging associates. No objec.
tions to his using tobacco, cigars, or pipe,
provided the "old soldiers" and ashes are
kept of our table and out of the cases.
If consistent with his finer feelings, We
would respectfully venture the suggestion
that he leave US at least one-third OF our
exchanges, that we may look over them
at leisure. Must not use more than a
quire of letter paper. or a package Of
envelopes weekly in corresponding with
his friends and acquaintances. Win be
required to furnish his own postage
stamps. We furnish water, sap and
towels. Will be expected to be at the
Office in time to get hungry before din.
ner To return and be ditto before sup
per. If we entrust him with a key TO
the Office door. it is hoped he will spare
our feelings and the feelings of the ten
ants who occupy the room beneath US, by
bringing only dozen OF his associates
into the composing room at any one time
after night. Some regard should also be
paid to tho number of gas jets lighted on
such occasions. We admit that the Re.
publican Office presents an attractive ap-
pcarance when under full head of light
and Mt the same time we are painfully
aware Of the fact that the indiccs of the
meter attract the attention of the gus
company even to greater extent than
the light attracts custom Loafng in the
Office on the Sabbath is positively pro-
hibited. If ten hours day for six days
in the week is not a sufficient length OF
time for our new conner to spend in the
office, We will accommodate him with a

Handsome fiat silk gallons and braids
of various widths, are much in favor for
trimming satines, cloths, serges, and heavy
suits of all descriptions.
The early fall wraps most fashionable
are large double round capes, or coarse
sacque and round cape called Berenice.
Polonaiscs are more in favor than
ever. Short ladies should wear them
open in front, tall ones look best in the
apron-fronted style.
Nearly all sleeves are made open, long
gloves are now almost exclusively worn
by the ultra-fashionable.
To great extent folds and bands are
to displace the endless hounces with
which we have been trimming skirts.
The richest and bandsomest silks are
in neutral tints, on rich, dark cloth colors.
Some new importations of silks are shown
in three shades, to be made up in shaded
costumes.
Infants robes Of valenciennes lace and
pufs, elaborately made, palmer style Of
needlework and tuck, each attractive in
its respective elegance and simplicity are
shown in proiusion.
Bonnets have not yet taken a decided
shape and fashion, but they bid fair to be
larger and more hat-like than ever. In
deed, hats are now more than ever worn
by ladies of all ages.
Among the novelties in silk goods is
cheviotte, made of pure silk, twilled and
heavy. 1t is soft and drapes gracefully
Brown and wood color in various shades

Levantine, material our great grand
mothers used to wear, has been revived
1t is soft and graceful fabric. 1t is
twilled also. Repped levantine somewhat
heavier is also used.

benzole is capital for removing ink from
the rollers, as will be discovered from
time TO time. A broom is used in our
office at half-past five o'clock each after
noon. Type dropped on the floor must
be picked up at once. Twenty stoops
frequently save twenty cents. We have
in our employ an experienced job printer,
who will attend to all orders in that line.
1t will be entirely unnecessary, therefore
for our novice to undertake that branch
at first-and more particularly the print
ing of his own name and that of his trio
sweethearts, for which purposes the orna.
mental type and gold bronze are general
ly made to suffer. If there is a young
man anywhere in the city-or out of it
either-who is willing to conform to these
rules, can read manuscript and write a
fair hand, and who is really desirous Of
acquiring irst-class trade-one at
which he can secure employment in every
city and nearly every town on the cont.
nent-we shall be pleased to confer with
him. .-Maysville, (Ky.,) Republican.

came upon the most perfect fossils yet
found in this country. He found won
derfally perfect specimens Of oak, walnut,
maple and pine leaves, which would be
of great value to u museum. MIR. Page
bas also found good indications of coal
upon his place. The many discoveries
of petri6ed curiosities being made in that

tention of scientific men thither.
