A Tiger Python Killed.


About 8 o'clock yesterday morning. as
Harry Colbert was walking along the shore
Of the Delaware Kaighn's Point, he saw
a mons.er snake lying within about three
feet Of the water In appearance aud size
it was deterrent from anything OF the
serpent kind he had ever seen in this see
ton Of country. He succeeded ia killing
il, by striking its head with stone, and
then broke its back in two places. On
measuring it, it was nine feet and two
inches in length. II was conveyed to the
house Of Mr. A. X. 0sborn, Second and
Bridge avenue, where it attracted hum
drcds Of citizens to look at such monster
On close examination this huge snake
proved to be tiger python. and how it
got astray here is mystery. This species
Of reptile is found in Africa and India, and
grows TO an enormous size. II kills its
prey by construction, like the boa Its teeth
are about half an inch long, slender and
very sharp. 1t is quite evideut that this
specimen is a young one, as it is not near
the size to which they usually grow.
There are sever1 different speoies Of the
python found in Africa, some Of them
variegated with beautiful colors. This one
is spotted, like tiger, hence its name. 1t
is thought that it must have escaped from
some Snowman, or vessel as it WIS being
brought up the Delaware. philadelphia

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY SELLING Our
The Chambersburg Public Opinion,
says; At meeting of the members of
the Society, held on Friday evening last,
it was determined to dispose of the build
ings, grounds, &c A committee appointed
at this meeting will report the manner of
disposition at another which will be held
on Friday evening of this week. A re-
commentator of division of the property
into town lots will be most probably made
and adopted, in orderto relieve the Society
of the debt it is individually responsible
for. This is step which has been reluc-
family made. The society, owing to an
utter lack ON the part of our citizens and
the citizens Of the county to give it that
aid aud countenance it had right to ex-
pect, has not patiently borne the burdens
Of its liabilities, but as patiently the abuse
and fault-fnding of dissatisf d exhibitors
and others with whom it had to deal.

evidence, he came to the conclusion that

1t appears that 0'Brien had a quarrel
with Cunningham, and then knocked him
down with his baton. Some twenty
minutes after, Cunningham, having re-
covered somewhat from the blow, was
leaving Green Spring, with his wife, for
home, when o Brien again rushed upon

the head, killing him on the spot, aud

National Park.

A year ago, Congress set apart the
magnificent region of the Yellowstone river
as National Park. This prevented at
once the title of settlers accruing, and
checked spectators in making a show of
this most extraordinary scenery for private
gain. The National Park of the Yellow
stone can, therefore, never be made anoth-
er Niagara, where hackmen are ever I'M
Fortunate, and every little thing has
money value, ranging from fifty cents to
fifty dollars. The FIRST report Of the SUI.
perintendcnt of the National Park has Just
been published. At present, access to the
Park is only possible through Montana.
The first effort will be to render the ap-
proach less difficult by constructing car
rage roads instead of the present bride
paths. In the meanwhile thorough ex-
ploration of the whole tract will be made.
At present part Of the land belonging to
the Government is entirely unknown.
What has been seen, however, is strange
and novel beyond conception. Great Gey-
sers, to which those of Iceland are pig
mics mud volcanoes, crystal springs, and
medicinal waters of all descriptions and
temperatures falls of nearly four hundred
feet in height, making it appear as if ma
ture had concentrated her wonders there.
