WE take the following from the Fcilhi-
more Times:
A Boscobel special to the Milwaukee
Journal says: A terrible death hap
pened the o.her day to Mrs. Berney,
living about twelve miles north Of here.
She was picking blackberries when
large rattlesnake jumped at her. She
caught it around the body. but not
close enough 10 the head, and she was
bitten on the wrist and arm several
times. When found she was dead, hold
ing the serpent tightly. her body being
swollen beyond recognition.
Now this very forcibIy brings to mind
that petition, asking the county board
of supervisors of this county 10 grant
Sl50 bounty on each rattIesnake killed
in the county, has been circulated some
what and quite extensively signed.
Down on Grant river below Beetown,
IL rattlesnakes were reported hilled
sometime ago From another section
one man reports IS, aud one or two
persons have been severely bitten. For
some reason, the unusually high water
on the bottom lands likely, rattlers have
been unusually common on the uplands
this year. A 81 80 bounty would kill
off every raltlesDake in Gcant County in
a few years and then we would forever
be rid of the pests, and some human
lives as well as the lives of good deal
of stock would be saved.

once. The division OF the State into
new Assembly and Senate districts is
about completed, the leaders having

the formulation Of the bill to be intro

In its present shape, however, the
measure is subject to few changes, be-
cause the majority of the political rep

FAYETTE, No, April 5--This tswa
is again on The verge Of race war be-
cause Of the sale Of vaErant negroes
which took place here Saturday. About
a month age good deal Of excitement
was caused by the sale Of three YsgrRnt
negroes. This feeling has been intsn-
sifed by the public sale on the blosk Of
three men and one woman because they
could offer no visible means sf support.
Hy Thompson, VIM. Miller and john
wilkins we're tho men. All are hearty
negroes who were never before arrested.
The woman was Mary Whiteside. She
was accused Of vagrancy.
The colored people were brought into
great crowd of both colors gathered.
The whites made fun of the poor victims
and the blacks freely expressed their dis
pleasure at the scene that SO cruelty
brought to their minds the days Of actual
slavery.
The woman was put up first. She
brought $40 for the sixty days work
that the county fined her The men sold
for $40, $l2 aud $l3 respectively, being
taken by reliable farmers hereabouts
The woman will work in a good family
in town. Negroes declare that this must
stop, or that the whites must be sold
with the negroes. The sale took place on
