Death Of an Fstimabls Lady.


Newberne IN. C.) Daily Nut Shell: In
an Issue of this paper of last week, we
recorded the death, in Ysnkton. Dakota,
of Mrs. Amanda Kate Pennington. the
beloved wife of Hon. John L. Penning-
ton, ex-governor of Dakota, who camess..
this city III 1858 and by his untiring Gu
ergy and the exercise of q highly cultured
mind, established and successfully car
ried on until the commencement of the
war. the Daily Progress. one of the most
able and best conducted papere ever pub.
lished in eastern North Carolina.
Mrs Penningt'. : was one of the most
amiable ladies with whom it has ever
been our pleasure to be acquainted.
Being q member of distinguished,
highly respected family of Iredell county,
she came among us as an entire stranger,
but her gentle opposition, her talented,
intellectual bearing and her kind and
affAble manner toward all with whom
she came in contact soon won her the
love and admiration of all classes of our
citizens, and while many of her
friends still here, will read
these lines in sorrow, We have no doubt
q very large number of people in Dakota
her last earthly abode-sorely grieve
the loss of 80 estimable q citizen. Yet
her ever devoted husband and children
will have the greatest burden of grief to
bear, for Mrs. Pennington was true wife
ever solicitous of her husbands home
comforts and her children'e welfare;
always affectionate and never derelict in
the discharge of her duties az wife and
mother.
The mourners have our sincere sym.
pathy; may they be comforted in the
sure knowledge that their loved ono
passed from earth to heaven, aud when
again they meet her she will possess the
shining face OF an angel, with the glory
they can meet to part no more.

Swallowed Her Young.

1t is not generally believed, even
among people who live in neighbor-
hoods where snakes are common, that
these reptiles swallow their young, as in
time of danger, or when they move from
one locality to another. While it is a we'll
authenticated fact that many species
of snakes do this, instances are rare
where they have been seen in the act.
Such sight was witnessed few days
since Charles Wilson, William Gould
and Harry Lawrence, three boys, were
blackberrying near Deckertown. They
discovered garter-snake in the bushss,
which at once began to glide to and fro,
uttering peculiar Kissing sound. Sud-
denly the snake stopped and lay fiat
upon the ground, with its head raised a
little, and the mouth wide open. In
stantly diminutive snakes began to ap-
pear from all directions, and one after
another darted in at the open mouth of
the old snake and disappeared. A
steady stream of young reptiles poured
itself into their mothers throat for
more than minute. When the last
one had entered the mother snake was
swollen to more than. twice her natural
size, and she Immediately started to
leave the spot. One of the boys killed
her. There were los of the young
snakes, and all were killed. The
mother was but two and half feet
long, and the young ones were of an
average length of three inches, aggre-
eating length of twenty-six feet stored
away in the narrow compass of the old
snakes body. Trenton en- j. Gazette.

New Autumn BOnnets.

Bonnets for dressy wear are this sea-
son smaller than ever, at least they
have not enlarged, and by comparison
with the varied and somewhat monde
script styles worn during the summer,
look exceedingly small and very stylish.
Velvet is very much used for trimming
the pretty chapeaus worn during the
early fall season, and the fashionable
shades of red, dark green or mulberry
make charming contrast with the
fancy straws in rich Tuscan tones, and
with the trimmings, which consist of
fruits, grapes, small peaches, walnuts,
wheat mixed with peoples, and very
good imitation of golden-rod. A new
autumn bonnet has a crown of velvet
and gold which forms network. The
brim is velvet in soft rouleaux, with
q line of gold embroidery, and
the trimming gold thistles combined
with velvet bows. There are some
pretty small black lace bonnets with
group of three deep red roses for
theatre wear, and the same shape is
made IN cream lace with tea roses.
These bonnets have no strings, and
need fluffy hair of light tint to give
them expression. The deep tint Of
the straws, the gold and Leghorn- tinted
straws, seems to justify ladies in wear
ing them late into autumn and certainly
they are eminently suited to September.
Some stylish ones are faced with cross
cut velvet, black, or dark green, and
trimmed with the same, to which is
added bouquet of dark, red pomegran-
ate leaves, or bunch of mountain ash
berries. Many ladies are obliged to
buy small dressy bonnet on returning
to town, because they have had no use
for one in the country, and must bridge
the period before appearing in winter
velvet; a gold straw, such as described,
is most useful for this purpose, because
it can be worn upon any occasion and
put away for early spring. if desired.
Small bonnets of Guaranteed velvet
have been sent from Paris, very styl-
ishly finished with fine gold lace and
long slender gold pins or needles, no
other trimming. Denoresfs Magazine.
