He makes up to within ten or twelve feet OF
the snake, then leaps forward, and aims to
saver the body of the snake with his sharp
birrucated hoofs. The first onset Is most cem'
monty successful; but if otherwise, the buck
repeats the trial until be cuts the snake 10
twain. The rapidity and fatality OF its sklltul

more than an equal competitor against the rat
tlesnake. Such ls it's celery OF motloo, not ooly
10 ruoning, but in entwiniog itself round Its
victim, that the rattlesnake has 90 way OF es'
Gaping fron its fatal embrace.
When the black aud rattlesnakes are ABOUT
to meet for battle, the former darts forward at
the height of bis speed, and strikes at the neck
of the latter With uoerrlDg certainty, leaving

road-The Insane Asylum-C Crop


WEsros, W. VA, May 20.
Eiiton Intalligsnesr.
The State Medical Society will hold its
annual meeting here on Wednesday, 22d
inst, and about fifty members are ex-
pected to be in attendance. The citizens
will make vigorous effort-to contribute
to their pleasure. The majority Of the
physicians will be entertained at the
houses Of the citizens during their stay in
our midst, and apublic reception will be
given them at the Hospital. A dance for
the evening Of their arrival Ia also down
on the programme. It Is to be regretted
however, that our narrow gauge road is
not far enough advanced to transport our
distinguished visitors from Clarksburg
to Weston. And while upon this subject
We are pleased to note that.the prospects
Of Its early completion are looming up,
and We trust that ere another year goes
out Weston will be accessible by rail.
The Hospital grounds, dotted here and
there with flower gardens and blooming
shrubbery, present 3 refreshing appear.
ance, and are doubtless 3 source Of great
pleasure to the inmates Of that immense
structure-the Hospital for the Insane
We learn there are 4l6 patients in the
Hospital at this time, and admissions for
others are being sought almost daily; but
owing to the present crowded condition
they can only be received as discharges
are made. It Is to be hoped that the
next Legislature will give . good appro-
priation for construction purposes, so
that another section OF the Hospital, at
least, can be made ready for occupancy
as soon as possible. There Ia no class Of
unfortunate people entitled to . greater
share Of commiseratiou and charity than
those whose minds have been dethroned
Of reason, and prompt measures should
be introduced TO provide sufficient room
where they a be placed under proper
care and treatment.
The prospects Of Q large yield Of cereals
and fruits have not been more promising
In this county for ten years. The frosts
that have visited Us have done but little
damage. However, there are 3 few farm.
ers who claim that their wheat has been
injured somewhat. As the season Of
frosts Is about over, the oyer-anxious and
eyer.to.be-found grumblers are hunting
yigilantly for defects in the wheat, such
"a trusting etc. But we predict, to The
contrary Notwithstanding, a bountiul
harvest and q set Of happy grsngers. So
mote II be.
The grszers hereabout have stocked
their lands with s large number Of cattle
preparing them for the Fall markets
There are no better grass lands than are
to be found In Lewis county, and the cat
tie that are sold from here bring 4 great
deal OF money in return. -,
The Weston merchants complain otdull
times, but they all seem able TO face the
storm that hAs oyertaken so many OF this
class Of business men in other portions
Of the State. This result Is doubtless due
TO their good sense and careful business
