A REMARKABLE CAsE,-Our latest

Of this city informs US that ho has for some
time past been suffering from an oppressive
feeling about tho chest and stomach, fire..
quontly of such painful nature that he
would find it impossible to walk erect. At
these times he would also be seized with
a feeling of faintness, und could with
difficulty keep from falling He took
various prescriptions without experiencing
moro than temporary relief; until last
Monday morning, when his stomach
was rclioyed Of an object which, upon inyes,
tigation, actually proved to DO to all
appearances, moccasin snake about IL
inches in length and large 10 proportion,
though devoid of tho rough appearance
characteristic of tho "out-door'' reptile.
Since that time the patient has improved
wonderfully as regards his general health,
and declares that he feels like now man.
He says llo thinks he must havo introduced
tho reptile into his stomach whilc drinking
water at spring, as lie can account for its
presence thero in no other manner

READ Colonel Houses clear and
manly vindicatiOn of himself from
the charge OF proposing property
qualification as bar to the privi-
lege of voting-well, of course you
will read it; but notice that what
he did propose was a bar to the pro-
fuse and reckless issuance of State
bonds, running the people in debt
beyond their ability to pay. Would
that somebody could have barred
all that some twenty or thirty years
ago, and we should not now be in
danger of seeing the stigma of repu-
diation branded on the fair brow of
Tennessee. The notifying thing
about it all is that the injurious
charge was not made by Radical
bent upon throwing reproach upon
the Democratic party, but by
brother Democrat who desires to
stand in our present representatives
shoes.
1t is not an open enemy that hath done
borne it;
Neither was it mine adversary that did
magnify himself against me, for then per-
adventure l could have hid myself from
But it was even thou, my companion, and
mine own familiar friend.
