BITTEN BY SNAKE.-Miss Bette Cockey,
daughter of Peter F. Cockey, Esq, of Cockeys-
vile, while at the residence of Mrs. VIM. JessOp,
near Hoffman's lower paper mill, one evening last
week, was bitten by a snake. Miss Cockey was
crossing the lawn when she experienced strange
sensation in one of her lower limbs and going to
the house said that she had been bitten by a
snake The family did not at first credit the state
ment but an examination revealed the truthfulness
of it. The limb soon commenced swelling and
grew almost black, but by the immediate applca-
ton of proper antidotes and restoratves the young
lady soon commenced to improve, she experiencing
no further trouble than is usual in cases of snake
bite. The next morning Mrs. Jessop had the
lawn moved when very large copper hoad snake
was found and killed.

Anderson, of Hampden village, Baltimore county,
attempted to commit suicide by placing his neck
on the Northern Central railroad track, near Wood
berry. He was seen by the engineer in time to
check the train, and was driven from the track by

the road and attempted the same feat a second
time, but again discovered before his wish
could be accomplished. He was then arrested by
county policeman Burkins, who carried him be-

LOST HIS MoNEY.-The Baltimore Euening Bull
letin of Saturday last says: "Two men living in
Baltimore county, and engaged in the business of
raising and selling vegetables of various kinds,
came to this city Thursday evening with their
products, which they soon disposed of, and as had
been their custom proceeded to hotel at the corn
er of Eutaw and Franklin streets to ''put up" for
the night. At an early hour on Friday morning
the men, while conversing in friendly manner
together in one of the rooms, commenced wrest-
ling and continued for few minutes. A short
time after the occurrence of the men discover
ed that his wallet, containing about 500, which
he had in his back pocket, was missing. Not
having been with any one but his rural neighbor,
it was quite natural that he should suspect him of
taking the pocket book, but upon inquiry that in
dividual stouty denied the charge. The victim
called at the Western Police Station in relation to
the affair, but up to yesterday evening no trace of
the wallet or money could be found"

THE ARMORY BONANZA.

HOW THE CITY Is MULCTED IN MILLIONS OF
DoLLARs--A PERTINENT INVESTIGATION.
Alderman Tuomcy, At a regular meeting Of the Board
yesterday, presented q preamble and resolutions
which again fortn startling facts relative to
the renting OF armorics IN New YORK city Tor our Ma
tona Guard The law in relation renting OF armor-
les and drilrooms cited IN Mr. Tuomey's narrative
IL appears that by section 100 OF the passed March
IT. 1870 entitled the s.Mtsry Code, the rent for arm.
and drirooms was ordered not TO exceed $3.50
cities OF the state and $50 Tor those not located in
cities. These rents made county charge. After
ward by the laws OF 1875 the amount Of annual rent
for armories IN cities was raised from $3.50 $780,
WHERE THE MONEY GOES
The preamble goes on 10 make the following
charges The rents paid annually far excess Of
the amounts allowed by law, in some Instances being
ton times great the hitting up armories ana drill
rooms has been done in an unnecessarily cxtravagant
style, and entirely unsu,ed for the use OF
soldiers, The amount thus extravagantly ex-
pended from 1865 TO 1876 both years IN
elusive, reachng the enormous OF 81 $50 Jo7
the sums paid Tor rent OF armorcs und drilrooms
since 1858, aggregate s3,615, $50 rs, not including
unsettled claims Tor rent AMI repairs amounting 10
$780, 900. now in course OF settlcmont In view OF
these facts the preamble suggests, in the absence
of any better plan, that regiments OF the National
Guard provide armorios Tor themselves, making
the annual rent within the limits specified by law u
charge upon the county.
THE MATTER REvKRRED
After the reading OF the statement the following res
oluIion was unanimously passed.
