An IMMENSE REPTILE.

A SNAKE Thirty FEET LONG KILLED
IN LoUIsrANA.-We were yesterday in
formed by Mr.. Smith living on Quapaw
bayou, that while he and his son Viii
liam, aged about Is years, were out in
the woods on Monday afternoon last,
driving their cattle, their attention was
attracted by the bleating of a calf some
distance from them. Thinking proba-
bly, that the poor animal had begged,
they started to its assistance. They had
gone short distance down tho bayou
when they discovered the yearling IN the
coils of a huge snake, the body OF which
was suspended from the limb of a black
gum tree about twenty feet from tho
ground, and which projected from the
bank Immediately over the water. Mr..
Smith and his son were almost terror
stricken at the sight, aud stood speech
less for several moments, uaconsciously
watching the movements Of the huge
reptile as he twined himself around tho
already dead body Of the yearling, and
at every coil OF the snake they conld
hear the bones Of the calf break.
After coiling itself around the lifeless
form of the yearling and crushing every
bone in its body, the serpent let loose its
hold from the tree, aud dropped down
alongside its victim, and begun licking
it all over, preparatory, it is supposed,
20 swallowing il. About this time Mr..
Smith recovered his senses, and aftcr
watching the monster open its capacicus
mouth several times, be fired on il with
his rifle, striking it on the head, and
was quickly followed by his son, who
discharged double-barrelled gun load
ed with buckshot. Both reloaded as
quickly as possible, ard again fired on
his snakship. In the meantime, the rep.
tile had coiled itself into huge mass,
and was making Kissing sound that
could be heard fully one hundred yards,
and was protruding his forked tongue
several feet. After discharging about
dozen volleys each Mr.. Smith and his
son succeeded in dispatching one of the
largest snakes ever seen In Louisiana,
aud, probably, North America. Itmeas-
ured thirty-one feet in length, and the
body measured ten feet from the head
thirty inches in circumference, and about
the centre Of the body forty-two inches.
1t has a regular succession OF spots,
black aud yellow alternating, extending
from its tail, while either side is of
deeppurple. Mr.. Smith has no idea what
kind of snake it is, but thinks it must
be OF the boa constructor species. No
doubt this snake has for many years in
habited that section of the country and
depredated upon the young calves and
animals that came within its reach. Tho
skin of this huge snake has been pre-
served, aud will be sent to Shreveport
and put on exhibition.-Shrereport

AFFAIR FARMER.

A WoMAN WHO DRESSED SMOKED
AND WAS SHAVED LIKE A MAN.-In the
early part of July Mr.. Jessie Hinkins, a
farmer, on Main street near the Brewer
Brick Company works, in Brewer, was
called upon by good looking young
man who desired to assist in haying.
Mr. Kinks engaged the person, and
Charles Works, as he gave his name,
commenced to do all the works of a
common laborer on the farm. Haying
was. in operation, and he took hol W tn
readiness and was thorough and eff
cient farm hand After remaining with
Mr.. Kinks till the busy season was over,
about month, and being out of work,
he went out to Orrington. lie remain
ed there some little time, and about the
first week in September was taken sick.
DIR. Buker, of Hampdem; DR.. Wood
cock, of.Brewer Village; DIR. Walton,of
this city, and DIR. Thomas, of Brewer,
all visited the patient. In two or three
weeks the sick person was up and
around all right He told the doctors
that he had friend in Bangor who
would settle the bill. That gentleman,
when seen, told them something that
let strange light on the affair The
aforesaid Chas Works, although the
sembance of man, was in reabllity
woman. This soon spread, and the
person, of whom feminine pronoun
must now be used, soon found herself
the subject of deal of gossip. The
surprise was very great, and many could
not believe the report, but various sus.
picious things were taken into account,
and last week it became settled fact
| that size was woman, aud she ac-
knowledged it after some time. She
had, however, succeeded in Disgusting
herself very perfectly, and none mis-
| trusted she was other than n man. She
wore mems clothing and assumed most
of the habits of young men. She smok-
ed and chewed with the rest of them,
and Marley Rankin, the wielder of the
shears in Brewer, has shaved her several
times. She is spoken Of as person Of
| free, open countenance, possessing by
20 means COURSE Or IiiSCulluc Icatuics,
aud is of a dark complexion, wearing
her hair, which is curly,cut close. Moth
ing but down grew on her face, but
since being shaved the skin has become
rough and the growth Of hair encourag-
ed. She has beeu in company considera-
BILE during the season, and seemed 10
be much inclined to flirt with tho girls,
thus inducing the jealousy of some
young fellow. The reason given by
her for her strange conduct is that her
mother, who, according to the girls re-
port, lives in Dixmont, told her, as her
father was dead they would have olook
to her for support, and thinking that
she could get better wages by assuming
the garb of man she did so. She is
about twenty years of age, stout aud
strong, and as farm laborer gave good
satisfaction to her employer Saturday
night she left Orrington without telling
where she was going.-Bangor Com

I desire to call the attention of the citi-
xens of Berkeley and surrounding coun-
ties to the fact, that 1 have on hand a
large and elegant supply of family car
riages, buggies, rockaways, Jenny linds,
and other styles of vehicles, also wagons
of all kinds and descriptions, which am
selling lower than other dealers in my
line, either for cash, on time, or in ex-
change for horses, country produce, or
secondhand carriages. L ask attention
to these terms as they are more iiDeral
than carriage makers usually oiier. Times
are hard and money scarce, but wan'
NV friends and customers to know, lha',
nevertheless, they can supply themselves
with carriages. u.,oels
Persons in want of old carriage "neeis
TO fix up their market wagons, OF 10 maxi
Temporary wagons, will find at my iac.o- II'-
rv anv kind they may desire, some OF them EN-

charter grant and land concession Dom
Pedro issued S2,400,0O0 worth of de-
benture bonds to raise funds for the
road. These bonds have found eager
purchasers, so that the projectors of the
great scheme are enabled at this mo-
ment TO push it through.
THE MONEY READY FOR THE PHILADEL-
PHIANs.
The payments to the Messrs. Collins
will be about three-quarters in cash,and
the money to pay them is now in hand.
The debentures guaranteed by the
Brazilian Government stand for the re-
mainder.
The road is to be of narrow-gauge
construction, the iron rails being forty
five pounds per yard. The materials
will be furnished by the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company,
according to an agreement with the
contractors, and the cash for the ma
terials, about S5,OOO,O0O, will be paid
upon shipment from this port. The
capture of this huge contract from the
English by Philadelphians is deemed
significant matter liz South American
