! The Athens (Penn.) Post gives an ac-
count of an exciting adventure with a
snake Of the coach-whip species, near
that place., We extract the following:
se.When first discovered, the snake was
reposing at full length across the road.
Il didn't seem disposed to get out of the
way, and the boy picked up little stick
andthrsw at it, hitting it two ,or three
inches below the head, Immediately and
as quick as lightning the snake grabbed
it's tail in its mouth and rolled towards
him like hoop, and before he could
wheel to run, it Strengthened itself and
commenced lashing him round the legs.
He broke at once for town at the top OF
his speed, the snake, which seemed to
be- inspired by the spirit Of an old slave
driver, following andevery twenty yards
| unhooping itself and popping him. as
the boy termed it, hard. and fast. The
last time the coach-whip hit. him, he
thinks was just at the turn of the hill,
above Mr.. Fishers residence, where ne
met gentleman going on horseback
fwisosaw the snake roll itself over the
fence into ,CIeage's field and disappear
lalnong the grass and weeds. The poor
| negro says he thought it'was the origi
nal sarpint, and when he got in sightoi
town and struck the home stretch hee
| was s. making faster time than any loco
motive ever did over the East Tennessee
Road. He showed the welts on his legs. y

THESE GINS were,sold the past sea-

made under Mr.. Gulletts personal su-
pervision, who never allows ;one. to be
sent from his works until it has been
fully testedi and made to;gin perfectly in
every respect. This mode of,testng is
very important to the purchaser, as he
does not run the risk or receiving and

Imperfect. I,
The IMPROVED GIN differs matters
ally from theSteel Brush Gin formerly
sold by us, inasmuch as the Steel Brush
has three brushes, while the new Gin has
but one.
We guarantee every Gin to beof very
light draft, to thoroughly clean the seed,
and make superior sample. Besides,
tits simple in its construction, easily adj

Hon. d. NJ. Key,

We place at our mast head this week,
the name Of Hoa. d. NJ. Key, the uomi-
nee Of the Cleveland Convention as a
candidate for Congress from this the
Third Congressional District.
Though We, as every other man,
had II choice, we must submit to the
action Of tire convention and give Col.
Key our undivided and hearty sup
port. Col. \. BLIZZARD, Of Athens, was our
choice, and we fought manhlly ror him
in and out Of the Convention. Yet
he was defeated.
Col. Key will mako a brilliant and we
hope successful canvass. 1t is the opin-
ion Of many that he is undoubtedly the
strongest man in the district and will
poll tho entire Conservative vote. Let
all the elements opposed to the ~ro-elec-
ton Of Grant and who favor the cleo
ton Of the Liberal Ticket, unite upon

Are there any Democrats!

From the Chissgo Times, Dcmocratic,l
SO far as existing party organizations
are concerned, the Democratic princi-
pies appear to have been completely
abandoned There oE,sts no party or
~ganization which even assumes, in its
organic formularia5 or declarations, to
10 an fundamentally fcr conveying
Democratic principles into the laws and
administration Of government. Which,
ever Presidential candidate shall sac
coed, il is the success Ct a man holding
auti-Democra!ic principles. Whether
Grant candidates or. Greeley candidates
for Congress shall go to Washington,
neither will go as the representatives Of
declared Democratic principles. SO it
now appears, from the fact that, where.
as the fundamental principles Of Dem
ocracy was "renittel" by the Greeley
ties 20 tho people Of their Coagros5ion
al districts, the Greeleyito politicians
in those districts are nog engaged in
further "remitting' that principle to
oblivion.
If there are any Democrats il thi,
country, what arc they going to do
with their Democracy? What COED vii
it do them with either Greeley or Grant
in tho Presidential office, and a %servile
majority in Congress supporting Il Gree,
lvyite or a Granite administration:
How, under such circumstances, Dc
they expect a resurrection of Democrat.
&c principles? With no organization tc
assert Democratic IDEAS, and make those
IDEAS u power which oiico-mongers ant
patrouago-dispansors will feel and re.
spect, how will Democracy ever agair
