Rattlesuake Poison as Medicine,

The London Court Journal publishes
the following:
1t may not be generally known to our
readers that snake poison is used for
medical purposes in these days, and that
under the name Of Crotalus Horridus,"
the poison of the rattlesnake is utilized
in homeopathic pharmacy. Messrs.
Thompson and Capper, of Liverpool,
having recently imported a number of
rattlesnakes, distracted the venom from
the live animals in the following ingen-
ious manner:
The reptiles were in separate compart-
ments of case, fitted with double lid
for extra security. A long staff, fitted
with thick India rubber moose at one
end, which could be loosened or tight
ened by the hand at pleasure, was in
serted through the partially opened lid,
and the opportunity quickly seized OF
| slipping the loop over the snakes head,
the loop being Immediately drawn tight
| by means of the cord attached thereto.
With similar contrivance the tail was
next fastened, and the snake being thus
securely held, was lifted out of the box
to the floor of the room. A pickle bottle
containing chloroform was then thrust
over the snakes head and carefully held
in its place by keeping time with the
animals efforts to extrioate itself. AS
the reptile became stupefed the moose
was gradually relaxed, to enable the
lungs to have full play, and when it ap-
peared powerless, the snake was laid in
a long, narrow box, made for the pur-
pose, with an aperture at one end, out Of
which its head projected while the after
operation was performed. Its jaws wert
then opened and fixed, and the poison
glands were pressed with forceps, ther
with the gloved finger and thumb, while
a small blown graduated phial was hello
to receive the drops as they oozed slowly
out through the poison fangs. Twenty
drops was the average quantity yielded
from each snake.
The venom is of straw color, thick anC
gummy in consistency, and decided,
acid in its reaction ON litmus paper.
is readily soluble in glycerine or water
but is precipitated by strong alcohol
the precipitate being redissolved by tn
addition of little water. It's toxico
logical properties were fully tried on
variety of animals. Half drop pro
duced death on linnet within thre
minutes after being injected under tn
wing. The symptoms produced in al
cases were very similar.

RIDGWAY, PA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1872.

They consisted of splinters or chips from
Indian arrow points, beads, bits of tur-
quoise, and other fragments which the
Indians had left while working out
their stone implements and ornaments
The finding of these small stone chips
led me to think that the Indians had
done considerable work in the neigh
borhood of these ant-hills, and 80 l
found it. The surrounding country was
literally strewn with fragments, con-
sisting of moss agate, jasper, obsidian,
silicified wood, and other rock of like
nature. also found several good COM
plete arrow-heads. 1 Improved upon this
my first lesson in ant-hill geology, and
since that time 1 have collected from
these ant-hills quite number of gems,
including the garnet, opal, ruby, chal-
cedony, aqua-marine, quartz.crystals,
tapaz, and (probsbly) the diamond.
And now all have to do to determine
the geological character of the country
l am in is to visit an ant-hill, and be-
fore me have oil the characteristic
rocks of the locality. l first supposed
the ants brought the small rock of which
portion of their mounds are construct
ed from under the surface; now, how
however, l am convinced that they col
lect them from the surface. And they
exercise most excellent geological taste
in their selections, as they select inva-
riably from the rarest and most beau
tiful rocks to be found in the neighbor-
hood. When the ant-hill is located near
vein of ore many specimens of the ore,
with the rock of the vein, the wall rock,
and the rock in which the vein is locat-
ed, are invariably found. In a few
hours we start on a perilous journey
across the country towards Los Angeles
CAL, distance of over 200 miles, about
eighty miles of which is sandy, bar
ren desert. We shall, travel across this
and most of the entire way at night, in
order to avoid the excessive heat of the
daytime.

A Monster MOOn.stOne.

In our issue of the 10th instant we
called attention to the fact that on that
day occurred one of those periodical
meteoric showers which have always
been the source of more or less terror to
the unlearned, and the cause of which
has occasioned much discussion among
savans of all ages. The evening of the
10th, it will be remembered, was cloudy,
and altogether unpropitious for observ-
ing the phenomenon, and 80 far as we
know the heavens exhibited no unusual
appearance in this vicinity. But other
localities were more fortunate. Captain
Scott, who is cultivating several thou
sand acres of the Fowler farm in Ben
ton county, reports the fall, near his
residence, northeast of Oxford, of one of
the most remarkable aerolites that has
ever been seen in the United States.
Indeed, it has never been rivalled, un-
less by the monster stone weigh
ing 1885 pounds that fell near the Red
River, in Arkansas, and which is still
preserved in the cabinet of Yale Col
lege; and it may not prove second to
that in size. According to Captain
Scott's account, he was returning from
camp-meeting about half-past ten P. NJ.
The evening was cloudy and dark, with
occasionally a little rain, and it was
with difficulty that he could distinguish
the road leading across the fields which
he was following. Suddenly he was
startled with a binding glare of light
that illuminated everything as far as
the eye could reach with more than
MONDAY radiance. simultaneously he
heard rushing sound, as he describes,
like terrific gust of wind, and the next
instant saw shooting vertically down.
ward huge fiery ball that struck the
earth but few rods from where he was
standing, with deafening detonation
and shock like an earthquake. Cap.
tain Scott owns to being badly fright.
| ened, and for few moments stood mo.
tionless, completely at loss to account
for what had happened. In the mean
time Kissing noise came from the spot
where the mysterious object had landed
accompanied by steam-like vapor ant
strong sulphurous odor. The blind
ing light continued for full fifteen min
utes, and before it had altogether sub
sided Captain Scott mustered up courage
to make closer investigation. Th'
aerolite was still smoking where it hat
fallen, and too hot to be removed bu
after considerable trouble fragment o
the substance with which the interio
was filed was secured, and may now b.
seen at the Courier Office. 1t has mucl
the appearance of volcanic rock, but i
considerably lighter, being scarcel,
heavier than some of the more SOLE
woods,-EDansoie (Lad.) Courier.

Self.Dependence.

No alliance with others can ever di-
minish the necessity for personal en-
deavor. Friends may counsel, but the
ultimate decision in every case is indi-
vidual. As each tree, though growing
in the same soil, watered by the same
rains, and warmed by the same sun as
others, obeys its own laws of growth,
preserves its own physical structure,
and produces its own peculiar fruit, so
each person, though in the closest COM
munication and intercourse with others,
and surrounded by similar influences,
must be himself, must do his duties,
contest his own struggles, resist his own
temptation, and suffer his own penalties.
There is too much dependence placed
upon cooperation for security from evil,
and too little reliance upon personal
watchfulness and exertion. There are
some who seem to feel in great mea-
sure released from obligation if they do
not receive such aid, and some will plead
the shortcomings of Others as an excuse
for their own.
We would by no means disparage the
effect of influence, or discourage in the
slightest the generous assistance which
we all owe to one another, or under
value the important effect of worthy
example. These are vital elements of
growth, and their results can never be
fully estimated. But they should not
usurp the place of proper self-reliance,
or diminish the exercise of individual
powers. Moral force must be a personal
possession. 1t can never be transferred,
and while we gladly welcome what is
good from all sources, it can only be as
food which must be digested before it
can truly nourish us. Material benefits
may be conferred by simple gift, but
mental and moral activities can only be
sustained by their own exercise
Thoughts may be exchanged, but not
thought power; moral help and en-
couragement may be given, but virtue
cannot be transferred; responsibility
cannot be shifted.
The most permanent good we can dc
to others is to nourish this individual
strength. To aid the physically desti.
tute most effectively, food, fuel and
clothing, are not nearly so valuable al
steady, remunerative employment. Te
educate a child, it is not half so impor.
tant to instill large amounts of informa'
tion, as to set his mind to work. tc
bring out his mental powers, to stimu
late his thoughts, and quicken his facul
ties. And in moral life, especially il
cities, where masses are crowded to-
gether, and men incline to leap upor
each other, the best lesson to enforce is
that virtue, to exist at all, must be strict
| ly individual
That which cannot stand alone, bu
depends on props and supports, whicl
needs the constant spur of fear, and thu
bribe of reward to ensure its activity, i
but the semblance of virtue, and will
crumble before temptation. A well-de
veloped body ever excites admiration
But a well-developed and self-relian
spirit is nobler thing. 1t is calm
modest, and unassuming, yet firm il
conscious integrity of purpose, AM
steadiness of aim. Inflated by no van
ity, it is at once humble, yet courage
GUS; helpful to the tempted, yet reso
lutte in assailing evil.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1872-09-05

A double life is this of ours
twofold form wherein we dwell;
And heaven itselfis not so strange,
Nor half 80 far az teachers tell.
With weary feet we daily tread
Tho circle of a self-same round;
Yet the strong soul may not be held
A prisoner in the petty bond.
The body wnlketh as in sleep,
A shadow among things that seem;
While held in loash, yet far away,
rhe spirit moveth in dream.
A living dream of good or ill,
In caves of gloom or fields of light;
Where purpose doth itself fulfill
And longing love IL instant sight.
Where time, nor space, nor blood, nor bond
May love and life divide In twain;
But they whom truth hath inly joined,
Meet inly on their common plane.
We need not die to go to God;
Sec how the daily prayer Is given!
'Tis not across a gulf we cry,
"0ur Father who dost dwell in Heaven y
And Let Thy will on earth be done,
As In Thy heaven" by this, thy child
What is 1t but all prayers in one,
That soul and sense be roconciled9
That inner sight and outer seem
No more in thwarting conflict strive;
By doing blossom from the dream,
And the whole nature rise, alive9
There's beauty waiting to be born,
And harmony that makes no sound;
And bear we over, unaware,
glory that hath not been crowned.
And so we yearn, and so we sigh,
And reach for moro than we can see:
And, witness of our folded wings,
Walk Paradise unconsciously
And dimlv feel the day divine
With vision half redeemed from night,
Till death shall face the double life,
And God himself shall give us light.

How He Cor OvER.-In Scotland
they have narrow, open bitches they
call sheep-drains. A man was riding a
donkey one day across sheep pasture,
and when Mr.. Donkey came to sheep
drain he would not go over it. So the
man rode him back a short distance,
and turned him around, and put the
whip to him, thinking, OF course, that
the donkey, going SO fast, would jump
the drain before he ever knew it. But
not so. On they came, and when the
donkey got to the drain he stopped all
of sudden, and the man went over Mr..
Jacks head. No sooner had he touched
the ground than he got up, and looking
Mr.. Donkey straight in the face, he
said, "Very weel pitched; but then how
are ye going to get over yersep I"

The Ring Panic Stricken at the
Appearance of Carney.

Probable Flight of Tweed, Sween-
ey and Connolly.
Progress of Mayor Hall's Trial

New York, Mar. S:-Sheriff Brennan states
that Ex-Comptroller Connolly has fled from the
city, and is concealed somewhere abroad. This
step is said to have been caused by reason of
threats OF some ringsters to turn against him
AZ States evidence. ConnOlly's friends say he
The is only out of the city to avoid feecers, who
want to get his money. Mrs. Connolly sails
for Savannah on Saturday.
A rumor was current yesterday that one of
Tweeds bondsmen intended to surrender him.
Garvey's appearance as an informer in the
Hall case creates a profound sensation. 1t has
brought CONSERVATION to Hall and his counsel
Garvey's return is due to negotiations by his
wife some weeks since with the Attorney Cen
eral and Samuel j. Tilden, by which Carney
was promised immunity from prosecution on
his turning States evidence and returning some
of his ill-gotton money. He has been in con-
cealment at his residence for about month
1t is alleged that Ingersoll will also turn nform-
er. But few knew that Carney would be a
witness until his name was called,
The counsel for Hall say they do not think
their case will be much affected by Garvey's
testimony; still there is general trepidation
among the entire Tammany ring over the pro-
ceedings yesterday
Every effort will be made by the friends of
the ring to have Carney arrested on new order
the old order having expired by limitation. His
turning State'sevidence endangers the safety
of Tweed, Connolly, Sweeney and all the rest
1t is now believed that they will all flee from
tne Guy, M t..-
PROGRESS OF THE TRIAL.
The court was crowded with a great thro ng
this morning, many DESTROYS to see Garvey and
hear his testimony in Mayor Halls case. At
ter the court opened Mr.. Stoughton for the de-
fence continued his argument against the ad-
mission OF the testimony as to the fraudulent
nature of Garvey's bill.
The counsel for the defence continued to ar
que at length, contending that Garvey's claim
must not be presumed fraudulent as the in
dictment did not SO allege, while the prosecu-
ton may allege the Mayor to have fraudulently,
no such averinent is made. The Mayor is
ready to meet that charge if presented in court
Outside clamor could not hurt him there whore
he is protected by the forms of law 1.-THE court
the subject, but the counsel for the defence
thought they might also be admonished against
reading the newspapers.
Judge Daley said he would admit the ques-
tiou and the witness might tell what he knew
