A Harrisonburg man Was caught by the
tricky offer of a wager that one city in the
United States of over 100 900 inhabitants
would not give over 500 votes for Han
cock . The stake was a supper for the
ward campaign club Of che winner. The
city named was Washington, where there
is no voting for President at all. The
victim said nothing, except to name tie
time and place for the supper. On that
occasion the viands looked all right and
were just as the written terms OF the bet
called for; but they we're found to be sea-
soned with snuff and other unpalatable
substances.-N. Y: Sun. a.. s 3 g..

Judging from the vote for Democratic
electors in Virginia the clamof directed
against Gen. Echols, of Augusta, during
the campaign made very little impression.
Leigh r. Watts and J. S. Redd, who led
the ticket, each received 96, 500 votes, and
the General was only thirty-four votes be-
hind them. On the Readjuster ticket q.
q. Riddleberger led the ticket, receiving
1889, s. Brown Allen, Esq, of Augusta,
only ran lfty votes behind him. On the
Republican ticket A. T.. Whitlock led, re-
eeiving SO 1874 votes. Jacob Yost, Esq, OF
Augusta, though only put on the ticket
three weeks before the election. only ran
22s votes behind him. So Augusta made
. pretty good showing all round. f9

CROPS - GARDENS AND TOBACCo'PATCHES
PARCHED-A THRILLING SNAKE STORY; A
RICHMOND LADY The HEROINE.
correspondence Of the Richmond Dispa;ch.l
GOLD HILL, May 10, 1880.
I'm addition to The extreme dry weather
from which we have been suffering, we had
q few very cool days and nights last week.
Friday and Saturday nights we had con-
siderable frost, but it did not iniure any,
thing materially. The cool, windy weather
has been very unfayorable for the growth
OF vegetation. The wheat has fallen back
very much. Oats are doing nothing, and
the crop Is set down generally as total
failure. Corn has come up well, but OH the
highland ii is suffering for rain. Our gar
dens are being parched up. and the tobacco
plants are suffering most OF all, with but
few exceptions.
don't remember ever having imposed a
snake story upon you but heard one yes
itrday that think well deserves to be told.
Miss Lu Brszeal, young lady Of Rich
mOnd. is teacher 10 the family OF Mr..
John :. Hall, few miles from this place.
Size occupies a room in the upper story OF
his house, and one OF his daughters-a little
giIl seven or eight years old-sleeps With
her. One night last week, after the child
had gone TO bed and was asleep, Miss Bra
zeal. while sitting by the lamp reading,
heard something moving about the bed,
and, on going TO see what IL was, saw a
large moccasin snake. with its bead ex-
tended over the cbild's head, bis mouth
open, brandishing his tongue, and seeming
" 10 the act OF striking his deadly fangs into
the child's face. Seeing the imminent peril
Of the child, and that not d moment could
be lost, Miss BrsZeal seized the snake by
the throat with her hand, drew him from bis
coil around the bedStead, ran TO the fire
place, and beat his head into Jelly on the
hearth with a fat-iron that was at hand.
In the mean time the snake had coiied him.
self tightly around Miss BIS arm and she
had 10 run down to Mr.. HslPs chamber,
when she was liberated from the dying
grasp OF the bleeding monster. Her band
and arm were stained with blood, and after
the excitement CT the moment feeling OF
prOsiratOn came over her and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall mad 10 make free use Of Ie>toratiyes
to prevent her from fainting. Throughout
the Hing scene everything was Conducted
so quietly that none OF the children OF the
family were awakened. Miss BraZeal well
deserves, as she bas. the gratitude OF Mr..
Hail and family for the prompt and valuable
service rendered, and too much cannot be
said In praise Of her cool decision and ex-
