Gentlemen, let me earnestly request you TO pre-
pare and introduce your measures early, in order
that they may be properly matured In the hurry
ing holrs at the close of session there is no op-
portunity for this, and many measures fail for
want OF time TO consider and perfect them. The
growing evil OF frequent adjournments for two or
three days every way reprehensible. II not only
costs the state large sum in the direct loss OF
time, but il distraels attention and breaks up the
current of business. The same faithful attention
10 our duties here which we should give to our
affairs at home or require from those in our EN-
ploy, is the only rule to apply, Avoiding then
every unnecessary delay, let exercise diligent
spirit in the dispatch Of business, and at the same
time, shun that undue haste so dangerous In
legislation
And in all our efforts let us reverently acknowl-
edge our Independence upon the Supreme Author
of all law, and seek His guidance, that the result
of our deliberations may accord with the immu-
table principles which He has laid down, without
when our labors will be in vain

GeraniumS and Snakes.

So far as the North is concerned
and temperate countries and climates
generally, there are very few venom
Gus snakes. and the innocent species
are not only harmless but of great use
from the insects they live on. In
lower attitudes, and especially IN Ger
tain neighborhoods where h rocks
and qualification invite and harbor
rattleSnakes. and near stagnant or
sluggish streams, or swanlDS where
poisonous reptiles abound, gardens
should be planted with g%eraniuns in
abundance, and for the double pur-
pose that, while enjoying their beauty
and fragrance. they insure, to a Ger
tain extent, against the intrusion Of
snakes of every kind. The g%eranium
is a very hardy plant indeed, 50 far as
withstanding heat and drought are
concerned, and is by no means par
ticular as to soil: besides, it is prop
agated with the utmost ease. More
over, during the dry season, it has
something like the mn lives of the
Cat. So, whether for the North OF the
South, the geranium is desirable, but
doubly SO for the South, because it is Il
hardy PERENNIAL, inviting every thing
innocent by its beauty and fragrance
and repelling noXiouS insects and rep
tiles by the same or some other recon
diteS charm.

A Snake Story.

There is great excitement in the
neighborhood Of the old Bruce place,
near the first toll gate on the Millers-
Vile pike, just north of the city. An
immense snake, described as s'reachin'
across four corn rows" that is twenty
eight or thirty feet in length, has been
seen. The monster was last seen II
tering a field of oats in the neighbOr-
hood, the owner of which now offers
large wages for labOrers to cut, as the
crop is ready for the sickle, but can
find no one willing to risk life and
limb against the serpent for hire and
salary. The snake is described as
having a head as large as the head of
COW 1t also has long horns, and a
tongue that has from five to eve
prongs. Its breath, which can be per
,eived from a great distance, is foul
and ~pestilential as the odors of the
Sellers farm Indiana NeUs.
