SOME SNAKE.-As Mr.. George Knadle was
crossing the mountain from Slocum, about
one and one half miles from the Three Cor
nered Pond, and a little to the left of the road
he discovered large snake coied around a
young hickory tree, tail up. He gradually APP
preached his snakeship and discovered that
cow was lying at the foot of the tree. To his
surprise he was merely milking the COW as
babe would suckle the breast gifts mother. -
Mr.. knadle, after satisfying himself that it
was mutual understanding between the COW
and the snake, procured a large club and de-
stroyed the snake. The COW beloved as tho
she had lost a calf 1t was monster black
snake of the blue-racer species, measuring II

SErrLE-The defeat of SETTLE, for Congress,
in North Carolina, is cause sufficient for re-
jocing by the Democrats, if they have no
other. This man Settle is the person who pre-
sided at the Philadelphia Convention, was an
ardent secessionist during the war, and like all
of his stripe who have turned their coats for
Office, he is bitter Radical. That his business
has been settled is good thing, though there
is a little claim of $40, 900 be received for a
a foreign mission, the duties of which he never
performed, he ought to settle before he retires
from public sight.

ONE OF THE EVILS OF WEALTH.--A n York
paper says Zone night last week q young
New Yorker named Augustus D. Fitch, the
son OF a banker, went into a saloon in the
Bowery and got drunk, and after coming out
retired TO a stairway and went TO sleep Here
he was found by a'professional thief, who stole
his gold watch, finger rings, shirt studs, and
$40, 600 in bonds of western and southern rail
roads. The latter were subsequently burned
On Friday evening the thief was arrested,
wearing Fitch's jewelry, and confessed the
robbery" If this young man had been put
out to trade or profession and made his
own living, he would probably have become
useful member of society," but having a mill
ionaire for father, he was allowed to live in
idleness and dissipation and to go TO the bad

The Philadelphia Candidate for the
Vice-Presidency

In the case of the demise of General Grant,
in the event of his election, il would be i'm
portant TO know something of the character,
principles and ideas of the man who is to be
his successor
The following will show his general senti-
ments toward our foreign born citizens. II is
an extract from speech of Wilson's made in
Boston in 1856:
" In the heart OF the foreigner beats not
single noble impulse, not one single throb of
patriotism He is so brutal and degraded that
he has no sympathy for anything but cabbage
and lager beer, potatoes and buttermik, or
some other outandish dish, fit only for hogs
of The street and pen. All the oaths in the
world cannot bind them.
Some tell me that many foreigners are in
telligent-yes, intelligent How in the name
of Almighty God can they say il? Look at the
Dutchman smoking his pipe, and if you see a
ray of intelligence in that dirty, idiotic look
ing face of his, show it to me.
We must change the laws of the land, and
prevent these ignorant, degraded paupers here
from voting and holding Office. Villains and
ruilians who congregate in and around our
villages and large cities, and begging from
Americans. Some say they have rights So
they have the right to live under our laws and
till the SOIL and do as we bid They are in
ferior in intellect and intelligence to the Ame-
ricans, and they must be and shall be put
down and kept down, if it has to be done at
the point of the bayonet and with powder
and lead'

That cause must be bad indeed which has to

for saying thata blessing will rest on the

Ratification Meeting.

The people of Montgomery county have al
ready been apprized that it has been proposed
10 hold Ratification Meeting at the Fair
Grounds in Rockville on Tuesday, the 18th
OF August to endorse the nomination OF Gree
ley and Brown, as candidates for the Presi-
dency and Vice Presidency We should be
glad to see an ouipouring of the people on that
occasion, and can hardly believe they will
need an argument 10 induce them to attend in
large numbers The fact that the most mo-
mentous issues are involved in the present
Presidential canvass-that good men of all par
Ties have united in common effort to effect
change in the administration of the govern
ment-that the Democratic party, in the true
spirit OF an exalted patriotism in order to re-
store peace to all sections of our common
country, and obliterate forever that sectional
strife and prejudice which have too long exis-
ted have accepted n former opponent as their
leader in the present crisis-gives ample proof
the movement is intended for good. Every
where the nominations have been received with
the greatest favor by the friends of Reform,
ana The indications are that the party is NOV
ing forward to an assured victory. But TO ac-
complish this there must be unanmity and all
Earring counsels be banshed-we must move
together shoulder TO shoulder To few per-
sons the nominations may not be so acceptable
hnt these should remember that the Democratic
party was unequal 10 the contest, and that
Rad straghout nomination been made, we
would have been met with this oft-repeated
statement, aud the contest would have been
virtually decided before it had begun. We
appeal to such to reconsider-to remember
that the old issues are dead-that parties are
reforming on the living issues of the present
and not OF the past-to remember that a fail !
nre even to vote is equivalent to half vote to
continue in power the worst tyranny on earth
Distinguished speakers have been invited to
be present on the occasion, among them Hon
JOHN RITcHIE, Judge MooRE, Hon. MONOTONE
ny BLAIR, and others, some of whom have sig
nified their Willingness to be present. People
of Montgomery ! Rouse to action You can
afford TO give one day to the cause of Your
country. Turn out, and let US have q grand
rally worthy of the occasion.

They can both get married and live happy on

lawyers, who | am sure, are not ungallant
enough TO wish the marriage may not come
off, The young lady, on being interrupted,
blushed and said she was quite willing to
marry the plaintiff. The latter, on being ask

Rockville Band, 10 the beautiful grove on the

Picnic for the happy little ones had been
made. Scholars were in attendance from Go
shen, Forest Oak, Potomac Chapel, Brook Vile,
Emory and Rockville. The display made was
creditable to the county, as manifesting the in
terest felt in these interesting associations. 1t
was pleasant to see their smiling faces and the
little ones clad in their neat attire, vending
their way so pleasantly along to the place Of
anticipated enjoyment. These gatherings to-
gether are highly commendable, and are by no
means too frequent--the meetings form an
epoch in the lives of the youthful ones which
is remembered long.
Business engagements prevented us from be-
ing present at the Fair Grounds, and we must
trust to another pen for a record of what there
took place, but we know that all went Emery
as marriage bell.'
