SNAKE BITES.

Mr.. Abel Sion, of Hookerville,
Burleson county, Texas, writing to
Popular Science, says:
In your issue of March 10th. the
statement is made by a scientific
contributor that no true antidote
has been found for the bite Of
venomous snakes. While this may
be true of the snakes of the whole
world, I believe that as to those
OF the United there is an antidote
There are very many poisonous
snakes in this part Of Texas, and a
snake-bitten person is not hard to
find here. Many remedies are
used, but the really only satisfactory
one. and yet the one that is the best
known, is the use of alum, the dose
of which is about heaping teaspoon
full I have heard of many more.
The eight cases referred to COM
prise six different species Of snake.
namely-the large r~attlesnake, the
water moceasin. the ground rattle
snake the spreading adder and the
-blunt-tailed m~occasin, by far the
most venomous snake in this conn-
Sry. Alum was used in Pill of the
eight cases with The greatest salts
faction and the best Of results, al
though las is claimed In the article
Esfsrre1 to- the venom may b. Of
Indifferent nature in each species.
In one of the eases. / myself was
the sufferer, being bitten by the
dwarf or ground .~attlesnake, whose
bite il nearly as poisonous as tina,
ofthe large maccasin; and, although
Icould not get the alum TOR at least
an hour after being bitten, and the
limb swellsd from foot to groin, vel
I am now well and hearty, and no
bad effects followed the bite. This
Twill add yet: My sufferings were
greater than those Of any one bitter
person with whom I am now &C
ouainted, but this I attribute to the
length of time which elapsed be-
tween the bite and the taking o
the remedy, and also to an overdose
OF alum, as I took q piece nearly
the size of a hens egg. / do no
know in what way alum c%ounteract'
the venom, but it gets III tue CIR
culat,on and seems to act within !
few minutes from the time Of taking
In my Ease it was powerfully emetl'
and drastic, but I was well in rhre'
-noufs save the pain in my leg as fa
n il had swelled before taking th'
alum. In eases where less alum
was taken the patients recovere,
without any other effects than sicl
stomach; ons case the man only los
his dinner, and went back TO worI
q soon ~ be gpt the alum.
You may give this publicity II yo'
pes ft. Il may save others live
and be Of great benefit. but ut tn
same time I care nothing about m

cHEsrNur sREEr cHuRcH.

Yesterday forenoon Rev. DR.. McKeown
preached very practical and able discourse
from Rom viii 16-"The spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are the chill
dren of Cod The speaker dealt principally
with the pleasant relations existing between
the Christian and his God. The first was that
of sonship. He said it was very evident from
the language given the sacred writers, that God
looked upon mankind as two great parties;
under two different leaders, travelling in two
different directions and bound for two different
destinies. OF the evidence of Christian SON.
ship he said there were some who did not be-
lieye in it; but in comfortable hope that they
were saved, and said it was a sad thing to be
without this evidence. He could (himself) be-
lieye conversion imp ossible (when he looked at
the tendency of character and hxlty Oh haDit)
were it not for Gods word in connection with
his own experience, which proved to him that
there was superior power which came down
from God. He then exhorted his hearers not
to give up the old doctrine of "the witness OF
the spirit"
Another relation was that of likeness; man
was made in the image of God and through
sin lost that image. 1t is the work Oh the
Holy Spirit to restore to man the lost image.
He also enumerated many of the privileges OF
Christian sonship, the last, but not least, being
heirship.
In the afternoon Prof. Bisbee, in behalf Of
the Freedmen's Aid Society, gave an interest
ing address. He spoke of the motives which
led to the organization of that society fifteen
wears ago, and its work in establishing educa-
tional institutions in the South, since that
time which according to the Professors esti-
mates) showed that that the people of the
North had not labored in vain IN their pecun.
larry efforts to educate the colored people OF
that section. He also spoke of some OF the
dangers of ignorance to our national as well as
to our individual welfare.
At the close of the service the regular year
~ collection was taken for the Freedmens
Aid Society.
