of the papers about the value Of our
county properly at Elm Grove, Which was
bought and iskept up for the benefit Of
the poor. Why did lie not carry II out
iurther2 lie puts the value Of tie pro-
perry at $4,000, which amount could be
realized by sale Of the property. This
money Is probably worth $1,000 per year,
and added to $4,000 spent yearly for the
support Of the paupers, makes $4,000 q
year for the support Of fifty panpersl
This may he all right, but 1t looks like a
"iat thing" in "ring' parlNnce, especially
when we know that some Of the surround

great dealless.

Nearly everybody in Monndsyille has

The revival at the NJ. H. Church still
continues, and though tho nights are very

sions to the church and more no doubt will
Join ere II comes to II close.
II Is the fashion to wish newly married
couples much happiness AMI We doso with
all our heart, and we have no doubt but

NARROW ESCAPE OF TENNESSEE LADY-AT
Tackled WHILE IN BED BY A SNAKE.

Tackled WHILE IN BED BY SNAKE.
The Louisville Courier Journal of Friday
morning tells the following story: A most
singular circumstance occurred few nights
ago 20 the wife of Mr.. James Carr, formerly
a clerk in the Gait House IN this city, and
now passenger agent for the Louisville and
Nashville road at Memphis. Mrs. Carr has
been visiting recently some friends at Trade
water, KY, on the Louisville, Paduch and
Southwestern railroad. While there she
became sick and was confined to her bed.
She was required by her physician to take
medicine at certain hours during the night
at the time referred to, and the vessel con-
tanning it was placed in a chair besides the
bed so that she would not be under the me-
cessity of waking her friends. When the
hour came for her to take dose of the med
cDe she reached toward the chair tor the
phisl and spoon, but they were not there.
Mrs. Carr supposed that they had by some
means been thrown to the floor and reached
down for them, when something struck her
on the hand, causing slight singing sensa-
ton. The lady was frightened and called to
her friends, who quickly arose and made a
light. When she told them what had hsp-
pened they looked under the bed and there
coil with his head erect kissing and protrud
ing his tongue in that defiant manner
characteristic of the yenOmouS monster
when angry. The only remedy in the house
was part of q bottle of whisky, which is
considered the best of antidotes for snake
bite. The lady drank all there was in the
bottle, and the quantity was probably suffice
ent to save her life, but not enough to pre-
vent very serious and fearful effects. As
quickly as possible the family physician was
called in, but he was unable to arrest the in
flamnstion which instantly commenced.
On the following morning the lady was very
sick. Her arm was swollen almost as large
as the crown of a mans hat; and the hand
seemed as though it would burst. Every
thing known to the medical profession was
done to relieve her sufferings and allay the
irritation. Alter twenty-four hours treat
ment she showed symptoms OF improvement
and the strongest hopes for her recovery
were entertained. Mrs. Carr was brought to
this city yesterday, and is now at the resi-.
dence of her mother, Mrs. Daniel McAllister.
She is much improved, and it is thought she
will get well.
