not clear. il, indeed, he has been arrest

EDITOR sPEcrAToR:-As snake stories are
always new, and regarded by the intelligent
public about as interesting as any other SUBJ
ject-pol1tics not excepted-and as there Is no
good reason why Augusta should not produce
as big snakes as any other sister county, and
as the SPECTATOR is SO largely read by the peo-
pie of our county, we ask permission for our
story to appear in your next issue.
few days ago, Mr.. A. M. Mays, worthy Ia
borer, while engaged in ploughing corn on the
farm of Mr.. Taylor Knowles. about two miles
west of Staunton, adjoining Burke Bradley's
distillery, in passing through a small copse of
underbrush bordering the corE-1eld, suddenly
stepped upon monster snake which, he says,
must have been 35 or 40 feet in length, about
the thickness of q mans thigh. with a head
and mouth of enormous dimensions. The
muscular strength of the snake was SO great,
that in contracting its length Mr.. M. was
thrown upon the fence near by. 1t is needless
to add, he left those diggings unceremoniously.
Judge of his establishment and fright when a
few hours afterward, and near the same place,
he came upon the same monster, attended by
half a dozen young ones, but perhaps 1t was
his mate.) This is the plain. Straightforward
tale as your correspondent got it from the lips
of Mr.. Mays himself.
In justice to Mr.. M, we will add that he says
he was most terribly scared.
Since the above was penned. we learn that
Mr.. William Grove. employed in clearing up
this underbrush, found and killed snake
which measured ten inches in length. Could 1t
have been one of the young snakes mentioned
above? It has been or svely talked of. by par
ties belonging to this neighborhood, that it
would pay to turn out and c. pture this gigantic
reptile, and hand him over to Barnum. His
snakeship would be no mean attraction along
with Jumbo and the Norwegian Giant. 8.

ELOQUENT ORAToRY."-On last Thursday
night, Rev. ]. b. Hawthorne. D. D., Pastor o.
the First Baptist church Of Richmond, deliv-
cred in the Baptist church of this city. for the
benefit of the parsonage fund Of that church,
his interesting lecture on Eloquent Oratory.''
1t was appreciated by an intelligent audience.
1t was not only an eloquent Jisquisition upon
oratory, but was interpreted with good an
ecdotes well told. which excited the risibili-
ties Of the audience. He maintained that the
elements of oratory were-Reason, Imagina-
ton. Passion, and Action. and that the true ge-
MUS of oratory was honest conviction, boldly
maintained. He said that orators were few
that Greece had but one Demosthenes; Italy
but one Cicero; England but one Chatham
and France but one Mirabeau. Patrick Henry
Henry Clay, VIM. L. Yancey. and John B.
Cough were orators in the true sense of tn Q
term.
His eulogy of VIM. L. Yancey. Of Alabama
whom he knew intimately, was very eloquent
and graphic. He was an honest man of strong
convictions, and was in the true sense of the
term an orator, who not only commanded him.

and none who have an opportunity to do so
should fail to hear 1t.

Capt. Micajah Woods.

We see from our Virginia exchanges,
that Capt. Micajah Woods, of Albemarle
county, is spoken of as the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Seventh
Congressional District Of Virginia.
Of course it would not become Us to
advise the people of that district as to
their candidate; but we may be said to
occupy a peculiar position in this in
stance. We feel an interest in all that
appertains to Albemarle-she being our
mother county; and Greenbrier ought
to feel an interest in Capt. Woods, as
she may be called, if such term is al
lowable of county, his grand mother
his mother, Ia daughter of the late
Thomas Creigh, ST. being a native of
Greenbrier. Besides, Capt. Woods is a
young man of great popularity, of IN
firing energy and of sterling worth
For the last twelve years he has served
the people of Albemarle, with great ac-
ceptability, as Commemorative Attor
ney and we feel sure the interests Of
his district and State would be in safe
hands if he should be sent to Congress.
That district has number of men that
would make worthy representatives in
Congress, but none of them would fill
the position with more credit than Capt.

A MOST REMARKABLE ESCAPE.-At
Petersburg, Va, on last Saturday, as we
learn from correspondent Of the Dis
patch, Mr.. David Thomas, awell-known
young citizen, fell distance of over one
hundred feet from the roof of the "City
Mill" building, belonging to Messrs.
Davis, Roper & Co., on the south bank
of the Appomattox, and escaped even
the slightest injury. The steep roof of
this building is being slated, and Mr..
Thomas at the time was engaged in re-
moving one of the heavy dormer win
dows from near the apex of the roof
The timbers became loosened sooner
than expected and fell against Mr..
Thomas, who was unsupported in his
position. He was knocked down and
dragged distance of some thirty feet to
the caves of the roof, and thence off in
to the air fully hundred feet above the
ground. In his descent he turned many
sommersaults. His escape from instant
death was due to the fortunate fact thai
he landed in the forebay of the mill, in
which there was about twelve feet deptf
of water. Here another remarkable cir
cumstanca may be noted. The forebay
is crossed by heavy sills at a distance o
about four feet from each other. He fell
between two of these without touching
either. The window frame that fel
with Mr.. Thomas struck against one o.
the stills and was shattered into frag
ments. Mr.. Thomas is now walkin:
about the streets as well as before hi
fall, and apparently refreshed by hi
