LOUISVILLE, Dec. "A special to the
Coatrier-JOuTTldt from Mount Sterling says
1t was reported there to-day that John
D-W hite, Republican Congressman elect
from the Ninth Kentucky District, shot
and killed Harrison Cockriil, his Demo
cratic competitor in the late election, in
Estell county yesterday. The canvass
between the two men were very bitter
and personal A few days since Cock
riil published a card making very severe
structures upon White. Probably this
card precipitated the difficulty. Estcll
county is remote from the telegraph,
and the mails are very irregular, on
which account it is impossible to get
further particulars.

Snow SNAKEs.-The Sparta Index

He's a vicious little cuss, of pale, deli
cate color, and rarely ever exceeds ten
inches in length. The snow snake re-
mains dormant through the hot months,
and never puts in an appearance until af-
ter the third frost. They are peculiar to
the higher mountain gorges, where they
may be frequently seen in the winter
gliding about over the snow. The bite
is always fatal, and when one has pune
tured fellow, be it never so slightly, he
may at once draw the gentle drapery of
his couch about him and commence say
ing "now / lay me down to sleep"
