-On Saturday last, while Mr.. Charles
Todd was working in corn field, near Rock
town, be killed large black snake. The
snake was eight feet long, and was up In a
cedar tree, charming young robin when dis
covered. The robin seemed to be in great
distress and finally came SO near to the mouth
of the serpent that it was nearly or quite kill
ed, when Mr.. Todd made an attack upon his
snakeshsp with large pole, and killed the
monster. There was general cutlery among
the Numerous birds that collected about the
tree at tire time.
Samuel &. Perry, Esq, of this city, who
has been absent for some days attending
court at Woodbury., returned yesterday. He
was engaged to assist the Prosecutor in the
trial of Michael Tighe for the murder of J. w.
Burk. Mr. p. is said to have shown much
ability.
The Board Of Directors of the Hunterdon
County Agricultural Society held a business
meeting at Humphreys Union Hotel in
Pennington, last Thursday. The premium
list was revised and ordered printed, and it
was decided to build new lot of pig pens on
the grounds. There is to be no more checking
out during the Fairs it being argued that the
Society is <iefrauded out of large sums of
money by persons passing out on checks and
selling them to others. There may possibly
be dollar and a half lost to the Society from
this system, but we are doubtful about it.
The various judges were appointed, as were
the delegates to neighboring Fairs. A new
feature of the next Fair, which occurs on the
23d, 24th and 25th of September next, will be
running race in addition to the trotting. Be
for the coming Fair must be made on or be-
fore the Goth of September. IL Hnnterdon
