a Strange Tale by a Preacher.

The Presiding Elder Of the Muir
lrccsboro district of the Virginia Con
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, which includes about
4 dozen counties in the northeastern
section OF North Carolina, tells the
following remarkable snake story
upon the authority Of one of the
pious itincrants under his ecclesiastical
direction. There can he no doubt of
its entire truth, strange as the nara
tive is, and il suggests the existence
OF many mystery in the economy OF
the lower orders Of creation which has
thus far Guided the most minute and
searching scientific investigation.
When tho minister was boy he went
out one day with his bow and arrows
and loilcrrd lcisnrcly along the road
si;lc, testing his craftsmanship upon
various objects. Coming to where a
shallow btooh, called in the South a
branch, crossed the highway, he oh
served Il snake, of the deadly species
known rs the mOccasin, basking in
the sunlight. He shot all his arrows
ut The formidable reptile, wounding
him in several places, and repeated
the pastillc till the snake was TO all
appearances dead. Seeing n party of
colorcd PERSONS approaching at dis
tancc, the boy took the wounded snake
in his hands and laid him in a coil in
the middle Of the path, and then hid
himself in the bushes to sec what the
negroes wouldldo when they came to
The spot. In Il few moments another
snake OF the same kind glitlcd out
from the thcket and went up to his
wounded fellow and examined him.
Then darting back into the covert he
returned with some leaves in his
mouth, pieces Of whir!! lie placed
carefully upon the wounds, making
them adhere like plastcrs. The ap-
parcntly dead snake Immediately be.
gan to revive, and soon recovered his
power Of locomotion and crawlcd
away to the woods. Have the snakes
doctors? This incident looks that

Notes from Sandy Run.
Orange6urg Democrat:

Having visited Sandy Run, ]
thought it would not be uninteresting
to our farmers to inform them, rs
nearly rs possible, of the condition
Of the crops, in that section of the
country. Some Of the leading farm
ers say that tho cotton crop, is equal
ly as good as last year, although not
rs large, but better fruitcd. The cause
of it being smaller, they think, is on
account of suffering SO long for rain,
which they did not get, so rs to do
any marked good, from the 18th OF
May up to the oath Of July. The
corn crop is injurcdin some places,
in others it is an average crop in the
swamp, however, it, is, taken on an
average 4 little better than last year.
The rain has been very heavy ever
since il commenced, and there is
some danger Of its injuring the cot
Ton seriously, in making it throw oil
its,lruii. The small grain crops were
nhoYe.. average, and particularly the
wheat, as most Of the farmers made
abnnd ancc TO do them tliis year.
This should he an encouragement to
our farmers to plant more smull grain
That the expense Of their, family food
might be reduced TO n smaller sum.
The farmers, principally The young
men of said section, hive organized
Il debating socisty, which is an at
!traclivc bud on the once lively and
.llourisEing rose bush OF Sandy Run :;
and it will hiring, to light many II
spark which had grown dim. With
such men rs officers, with sucl, young
men as debatcrs, and with such young
ladies. as encouraging instruments, as
they have, the society will ultimately
upset thc Indifference, Of outsiders
or critics. lf,thc good people of San
.dy Run continue manifest the in
terest the. have Of late in the i'm
pIQvemcnL Of their homes, and work
vt the same time so chccrfully for
their county, they will soon shake

hand ef The last war, SrILToNIAN.

Charity for The Fallen.

Never say anything damaging to
thc good name Of Il woman, it matters
not how poor she may be or what her
place in society. They have n hard
enough time ut best, and God help
the man who would give them a kick
down The hill. We are all too free
with their namcs-wc talk too much
about them and we do very wrong.
The least little hint that there is
something wrong, that "shc ain't all
right" whether spoken in jest or in
earnest, is taken up and unlike the
rolling stone gathers moss rs it goes
from place to place and at last comes
home to the prosecuted creatures with
crushing weight. She has done moth
ing but keep quiet while her idle per-
sccutors have pursued her, and now
she is kicked from door to door, and
is fallen SO low that none do her rev.
crcncc. Give dog bad name and
you had as well kill him-talls about
good woman on the streets and
across bar-room counters, and you
had rs well set her down MS a social
wreck. No one wants 10 help her.
We don't want so much theoretical

and homespun pity that will do for

The Position of Radical L eaders.

Every Democratic paper in the
country should, during the next year,
take particular pains TO show the
reasonable attitude the Republican
leaders assumed during the extra scs
sion Of Congress with reference 10 the
Union. Their clearly defined purpose
is to provincialize the States and
nullify the Federal government rs
one ofdelcgated, limited and restricted
powers, and substitute therefor q
powerful centralized authority, which
will wholly exclude the people from
participation in the government, and
consequently destroy the Union and
the republic. Ii these reasonable
designs are cmphatically ventilated,
we will shortly sec these blatant con-
spirators begin to hedge and finally
swear they never entertained any
such views. They must be compelled
10 humble themselves before The
American people, whom they have
grievously insulted, and beg their
pardon.-LouisvHle Couricr-Journal.
