Veracity is unquestioned ad 'who wa art. eye-witness of-the fsct. It 'is oreappzilling than any we- recolleet 'to have ver'rend, in'thhistory' of these' reptiles. Some time last summer, the -inhabitants of Liieheater, Mississippi, gave a barbecue,' which ras attended by most of the fashio'acid -beauty f the town and surrounding country. It -hap. eed that among 'the guests'there was aygoung: idy; bliss M.; recently from ons'6f the eastern ties, wholwas on a visit to her relations in the eighborhood of-the. town. Misil.,was a gay and extremely fashionable oung lady, and withal possessed an uncommon hare of-spirit end' courage, except:-in a' mutter f snakes, and of those she had so great a dread lat she scarcely dared to walk anywhere, ex ept in the most frequented places, for fear of nountering'them. Every effirt was used, but ithout avail, to rid her of her childish' fears. 'hey- haunted her continually, until 'at last it ecname the settled conviction of her mind that he was.destined to fall a victim to the fangs of rattlesnake: The sequel will show.how soon er terrible presentment was fulfilled. Towards the close of the day, while.scores. f ie fairy feet were keeping time in the dance to ie music, and the whole company were in the ill tide of enjoyment, a scream was heard from isa M., followed by the most agonizing cries ar'help. The crowd gathered round her in tantly,iiand -:beheld her standing the perfect nage of dexpair,.with hands grasping a portion f her dress with the tenacity *of a-vice. It was I ome time before she could be rendered sufli iently calm to tell the cause of her alarm; and' en they gathered from .her broken exclamations sat. she was grasping the head of a snake among he folds of her- dress, and feared 'l, let go her. old for fear of receiving- the fatal blow. This ielligence.caused many to shrink from her, but tst of the ladies, for their honor be it told, de. ermined not to leave her in her dreadful ex emity. ' . They besought her not to relax her hold, as er safety depended upon it, until some one uld be found with courage enough to seize ad remove the terrible animal. There were one of the ladies, however, to perform the-act, nd the situation of Miss M. was becoming more nd-more critical every moment. It was evident tat her strength was failing fast, and that she auld not maintain her hold - many minutes >nger. A hasty consultation among the calmest of e ladies was held, when it -was determined tat Ir. Tyson, who was present, should be alled to their assistance. He was quickly on me spot, and being a man of uncommon cour re, he was not many minutes within the circle f weeping and halffainting females, until he ught the tail of the snake and wound it around s hand. . He then told Miss. M. that she must let go at nmment he jerlkd it.away'; and .o.qpite the t as instantaneous as possible, he would pro. ounce the words one, two, three, and at the oment he pronounced the last word, she must t go her hold, and he doubted not he could ithdraw the snake before it could have time to rike. All stood in breathless horror, awaiting e act of life or death; and at the moment the ord three was pronounced, the doctor jerked at the largest and most diabo'ical looking bus e that was ever seen in Mississippi. The whole fr was then explained. The fastenings of t machine had become loose during the dancing d it had shifted its position in such a way tat it dangled about the lady's limbs, and in uced the belief that it was a snake with an normous head. The doctor fell right down in his tracks and inted.-Mississippi Journal. ONE oF THE BoYS.--A few days ago a young er, some six or seven years of age, stepped ito Dr. Fred.

THE BED As AN INsTITUTION.-Thie almost rgotten French romance, Clemienee Roberts, is warmly expresses, bimself on the comforts f the bed: - " A bed is. certainly tho most precious and iost favorable asytum to be found here below. n fact, when I look at it;, and when I think, hen I step into it, how one is soddenly, as if 'y encantment, rid of fatigue, cold, wind, dust, an, Importunate visiters, tedious conversations, odmonplace remarks, pompous assertions, rgging, putting' forth headstrong opinions, ontradictions, discussions, travellhng stories, onfidential readings of a poem or a whole tra edy, explanations of systems in longv words, nterminable monologues, and'that m; place of, 1I these, one has pictures, thoughts, memories, o be called up, that ha is in 'the' midst o'f a cho en society of'phantomzs and visions, just to his mind, andall these dreams, which a foreign wri er calls "moonlight of the brain ;" when I think f all this, as 1 look at a bed, I know not what words to make use of to express my enthasinam ed veneration, and am almost ready' to bow in doration before it. -' NOVEL' ARITHMETI,-A correspondent- in )i-beoomes sponsor for the following, which, is a matter of fact, 'he wishes to put ont record. ilvlittaer is one-of- the richest, men in those parts, and has nmade his money by driving sharp ,rgains. f1ishired' map' was one 'day- going long fith a Joad 'fiy 'which ho overturn6d ipon a cow.

THE TABLES.-It' is stated in the Zanesville Courier, that the' attorney of -the Central Ohio Railroad Company' has,-in accor dance with - the instructions of - the -company, commenced suit. against the owners of the eat tie by which a train was thrown from the track with considerable damage,'sometime- ago, with-a view of recovering damages for the same. The company is also determined to prosecute the owners of all 'cattle that may be found upon the track hereafter, by which injury is done to the property of the company. TowA as .&sN AR iCULTURAL STATE.-Bishop Lee,.of Iowa, says that such is the great depth and extraordinary fertility or the soil, and such) its ready proximity to market, that Iowa cannot1 fail of1being one of the leading. agrieltural States in the Union. Already it is giying homes to emigrants at the rate of about '100,000 a year. -. Srars.-Recent letters from Spain seem to indicate that prosperity is reviving in that country, despite the late troubles. The good effects of the mortmain and church property procedure have already manifested themselves. The re ent forced loan was, says a Madrid: letter of the 10th September, nearly 'all taken by volun tary subscription. At the sale of -the church property, the real estate, &c., brought from three to four times the price which have been antici pated. ' In New York hundreds of acres are appor tioned to the cultivation or broom corn. Broom corn never was stouter, nor a better crop than! during the present year. It will soon be cut, and busy hands will soon be employed in mak ing up that article so indispensable to every housekeeper. THE next house of Representatives in Maine will contain but one man who voted for the in tensified liquor law of the last session. THE laws of Holland, Norway, and Denmark, impose itas a duty upon captains to celebrate Divine service on board their ships.

A VENERABLE COUPLE.-Mr. John Burrows, of North Billerica, Massachusetts, is ninety-eight years old, and his wife Bridget one hundred ! They have lived touether seventy-nine years. They are natives of Ireland, and reside with their sop, Valentine Burrowsa, at. North Billerica. Its'j ioubi W *whelnert wereT~i'snbTeobi iiptlIW America whQ have been married so long. PoTATO CRor.-The Columbia (Pa.) Spy, in noticing accounts from some' portions of the county, stating that potatoes taken up lately have heittnearly destroyed by the rot, says that the crop is large, and the extent of the disease too limited to justify expectations of any great change in prices. - LTFE'S CIIANGEs.-The Lowell News says that there are now in that city two young ladies who were born in New Orleans in opulence, but, in consequence of death and reverses of fortune, were left not only orphans. but penniless. Rath er than to remain in indigence at home, they made their way to Lowell and entered the mills as operatives, and are-now numbered among the many beautiful, exemplary and intelligent ladies of the city who labor in the mills. Mn. MACE, living near Plover, Michigan be ing jealous of his young wife, shot her with his rife, and then shot himselr dead within a few rods of his house. She wvas but slightly wvoun ded in the shoulder." MORE FILInUsTERNG.-The New York Mirror professess to have received information that an extensive fillibustering expedition is now on foot from the United States, to subvert, the existing government of a Republic South of us. It is stated that an ex-Secretary of State, ot that Re public, now, or recently in this country, is at the head of this expedition, the present Chief of that Republic having dismissed him for pecunia ry speculation. ADVANCE IN SALT.-The Liverpool Times, of September 22d, says: "An important article of export from this port, Salt, has recently as smed a remarkable feature, inasmuch as there is not only a most serious advance, arising from demand over and above the usual supply ; but in consequence of a diminution of brine at the works, the advance is likely to experience a ma terial increase. The rise is now fully- 50 per cent. from the-prices current two months since: and to all appearance,- the supply will be very inadequate to meet our future wants." THE following pungent editorial appears in-a late western paper: : "The undersigned retires' from the editorial chair with the co'mplete conviction that all is vanity. From the hour he started his paper to the present time, he has been solicited to lie up on everyglven subject, and can't remember hav ing told a wholesome truth without diminishing his subscription list or malzing an enemy. Un der these circumstances of trial, and having a thorough contempt for himself, he retires in or der to recruit his moral constitution." FEVER 'AND AGUE AND' P Tsxe.--We: learn from our exchanges that the supply -of quinine is exhausted in three of the principal towns on the Wabash in Indiana. Terre Haute run short first, and then made a run on Vinconnes and ex husted the stock there. Vineennes drew on Evansville and cleaned that city out. The edi tor of-the Evansville Journal, in speaking of th~e demand for qunine, says: Our qnnine market was pretty dry yesterday. Vincennes had made - a demand for the article, which cleansed out the drug establishments here. -We will be all right to day, and in the meantime the public can have a free shake I Shaking is fashionable this season some per son have become so skillful at it by practice, that they- ean shake " Hail Columbia" and "Yankee Doodle."-Louisville. 'SUoos~wE.--There is nothing equal to a pocket full of doubloons, says the Albany Po lie Gazette, for starting up wicked thoughts.

FROM EUIROF. - Voyage across the Atlantic-Dangers of the - deep-The. landing--Lirerpool--Londom T he feet of Know Nothingism in Europe, 4-c. BrUSSELS, Sept. 1855. I om not leave home wit!such pleasant anti cipations as one might be supposed to entertain -who was about to visit Europe ;.but it is usually the case that we enjoy ourselves most-when we least expect it. My tour has been one- of unin terrupted pleasure. I have visited many plades of the deepest iterest, and. made many friends, whom I. have left with rogret. In making a. quaintances, I have been. singularly fortunate. I had. the pleasure at the outset, of making the ac quaintance of that pure and incorruptible patriot, Ex-Governor M., of whom Georgia may well be proud. I travelled with him from South .Caro lina and left him at the St. Nicholas, New York. There I met our very worthy Professor, Dr. L, who-was busily engagedin having an important work ofiis published. On the morning of the 11th July Iembarked on board the.U. S; Mail stearmship Baltic, with some two hundred and forty-five other passen gers. There appeared to be an unusual interest taken in our voyage. As the time for our de tiacturedsrawvne -several hundreda aqxmtblel on the wharf. Some tooli leave of their friends with a smile; others dropped a tear as.they warmly clasped their hand.s in a long farewell. I looked in vain for a friend,to give me.a parting benediction,-none was there. I stood upon the saloon deck unmoved by the scene, for all in the vast crowd were strangers to me-and yet I was gping to a land still more strange. A length the .hour has come.. Our cables are loosed and we steam from our moorings anidst the thunder of guns which bid us God speed. We return the salute, and the shores long re sound with the deafening roar. Soon we ;r' out at sea-the land recedes from our view, dwindles to an indistinct. streak, and all that re mains of America fades away over the dark b!ue waves. We had a calm sea and a cloudless sky, and all was bright and cheerful on our noble vessel, as she wvent careering over the foaming hillows. Late in tho afternoon we got intoa fog, which continued tly-oughout the night; bu: we kept our whistle sognding whilst in this dan gerous medium to war-n all vessels of our pres enee.- We escaped every danger and suffered no other inconvenience than luaving the apprehen sions of some of our passengers seriously ex ited. Sed sol oriens, tenebre fugiunt-and a!l was calin and cheerful again.. While on the Banks of New Foundland, weg encountered ano ther fog; but this was soon dissipated and the weather continued good until Saturday after noon, when we had mope wind' and rain. The waves ran high, occasionally breaking over the ship and wetting everything on deck ; but Sun. day morning was bright and beautiful. In the course of the next day we sawv several whales souting wvater, at a distance. One was very near us. fly thils time the passengers had be come pretty well acquainted with each 6ther. Almost all nations were represented ;- there. were Americans, English, French, Irish, Germans, Spaniards, &c. ~We resorted to various amuse ments to pas's the, time. Strong attachments grwv up between us, and some thought of love. We had on board three beautiful ladies, whose charms very much heightened the pleasures of the- voyage. On Saturday morning, the 21st July, many -came on deck to catch the first glimpse of lanid. Among them were some Irish men, who had lbeen in America for many years, where all things had prospered with them,. and now they were returning with hearts full of love for their native land, to visit again the scenes of their childhood. They had been on the lookout all the. morning, with eyes anxiously bent to the North-Wst. I too was anxious' to eatph the first sight of the old world, and. had been stand ing with them -for some time. At length a rockc appears, breasting its bosomnaboive the Againt vhoseruged sides the ale aei es less turmoi foam And then-the land is seen-it was the Isle they loved It was old Ireland! ! Their long deserted-home, o'er whosegreen flelds.thoui eyes delighted roam; . It was a moment of ecstatic joy, and tears gushed at - the sight of horns! -. * After passing the Rock, .the neat farm houses and green fi~elds presented a pleasing appear. ance. I -was charmed with the scene, for then for the first time the land of the old world dawned upofl niv vision. The dea.y was bright and the breeze was fair, and all were filled w'ith the most pleasant~anti'eistions5. Somne selected one hotsl, some another; but mo~st the.Adelpli$ for it wras confidently- expected we- would. reach Liverpool that night, or early the coming morn ing. Towards evening, we' steered more to ths Noh-ast. itu.d 1oon los ht of Ireland. % aid by night came on, and with it a dense fog, .which is propeily regarded by seamen as the .gre itest peril of the sea. As he night advanced, the fogineressed. We were now in St. George's channel, where vessels are constantly passing to and fro, and-the:dangerof collision was great. At 10 o'clock-tie watch cried "starboard," when a large merchant ship appeared upon our star board with all sails set. She was almost upon us.and come near striking us. amid-ship; but by skillful management on both .ships, we narrow ly-eseaped. .So close did they come, that per.., sons could have jumped from one vessel to the other. This occurred, notwithstanding' our steam whi tie and bell, which were sounded and. rutig'frbin the- comimencement of the fog.. By and by .iothier ship is. discovered.very near us, the watch cries "starboard strong,"and we passed her.safely. In a few minutes more a steamer is seen near on-our starboard, but both steam off. At about 11. o'clock another vessel is discovered almost directly in our path ; the word "starboard strong'"-"stop the ship back," was .given, but too late. She was upon us, having broken our yard-arm. This caused considerable excitement. - Soma hundred passengers rushed upon deck. Just as I reached the deck, I discovered-the vs sel lodged agiinst our prow, with her yard-arms. and rigging apparently entangled in ours. After striking our prow, the- vessel .drifted round-an. her stem, coming in contact with our starboard wheel (which had been' reversed to' back our ship) was portly carried away. As she drifted past our wheel, our Captain in a loud voice asked if they. were injured, (for no one knew what in jury was- done, so dense was the :fog). The answer was-"We are sinking." At that .mo ment we heard a fenale shriel on boarethe sinking vessel. My God, it was an awful mo went;! Great excitement prevailed-but. our I Captain, with a thundering- voice ordered that i " no one should speak on board the ship." This 4 preserved silence and immediately the life-boats were lowered and sent out to the ill-fated vessel. The'boats-had just time to take off the crew. 1 The Captain's daughter, a girt of 13 years, had been roused from her slumbers by the. water rushing in upon her bed. The vessel proved to be a brig, loaded with-slate, bound from Bangor to some other place.~ This accident occurred without any fault of-our ship. Captain Cost- I sTOCK had taken every precaution to avoid dan ger.. The steam whistle and bell were constantly used. The brig's crew lost everything; but they were amply repaid by our passengers, who made .up a handsomie sum of money for them the next day, and they were more than satisfied. After 1 this accident, we scarcely moved. Several other 'e eli fas9io us, b't" not-e perelose-among them the Asia, for which we had been on the look out. Most of the passengers continued up during the- night, and were.much relieved by the dawn of day. But still the fdg enshrouded us, and so continued until 10 o'clock in'the day, when it disappeared. The mountainous coast of Wale; then rose up abruptly on our right. We skirted along the. shores for some time. The scenery was.beauti ful; the towering mountains mingled their sum mits with the clouds. On their sides and in the vales, prettylittle cottagei appeared, surrounded by highly cultivated fields. Upon the bosom of the 3ersey, hundreds of vessels are always to be seen, of every description. By and by Liverpool appeared in the distance. The dense. forest ,ef ship masts rose up conspicuously with their va rious colors flying. Among these the stars and stripes were proudly' floating here and there. IMy heart was gladdened at the sight of some thing so familiair in this lapd w'herp all wsre strangers to me. At length we reached the fort; our guns are fired ; hundreds wave their handkerchiefs in response and bid us welcome. The Custom house officers were very polite, and. after a hurried examination of the luggage' (hcthykindly made on board our ship.) the passengers were tae la hefnding,. where some two thousand persons awaited our commg-1 Many were the anxious faces, looking out to greet their relations and friends. Here husband and wire, brother and sister met; it was a me went of thrilling joy. Tihere was one sed of peculiar- interest; a widowed mother had had several 'children ; all were dad but one, who had been away for several years in America. She wvas at the landing to see if her only son had come. She stood where she could see evey one as they came up from the boat, and anxiously did she scan -every fape. Presently a middle-I aged man, say 30 years old, asends the steps. She starts forward, frantic with joy. She stops, she doubts. The son looks up; it is he.' She sprang forward with streaming eyes; he caught her in his arms and she sanl; upon his bosom and sobd 4lu. ~After, wvitnessing this, scene, I peced my foot upon the old world, ascended the steps and made my way through the dense crowd. I was soon beset by beggars, bqt-took refuge li an omnibus which carried me to the Adolphi hotel, where I found fepnales in attend anice at the bar instead of men. The'house is a very excellent one-and the beef is the very j best. Having taken dinner, I sallied forth with< some companions of the voyage to see something of the World's grept cotton mart.

Dr. Kane and. his party accordingly embarked on board the Release and the Arctic-the ves sols of Hartsteine's expedition-and arrived last evening at seven o'clock P. M., at this port. Three of the crew deceased in the Arctic re gions, viz: Cristian Ohlsen, capenter, an excel lent man, who -died of 'ockjaw, produeed by intense cold; Jefferson Baker, seamen, who died of the same complaint, and Pierre Schubert, cook, (French) who died from the effects of am putation of his foot, which was rendered neces sary from being frost bitten. The scurvy, hith erto the scourge of the Arctic region, was en tirely under command, but the .lockjaw was diicult of management, and .threatened serious disaster. Fifty-seven dogs died of it breaking up entirely the sledge organization.. The number of deaths among the crew is much smaller than. wvould have occurred if the voyage had been to any tropical climate, instead of these cold regions. ~The most intense cold suffered was in 'latitude about eighty two deg. North whore the thermometer fell to sixty be low zero, or ninety-two degrees below freezing point. When the thermometer was at this low range, Dr. Kane and his party were -engaged with instruments in manking a survey of the inden tations of the bay in which their'vessel 'was then imbedded. The discoveries made by Dr. Kane reach to.a point Northward much further than ever before explored. Numerous bays and capes have been explored, and some' of them named. They' will make an addition- to the maps of the country, which will .evgr remain a conspicuous momument of Americanenterprise. On reaching the Northernmost point of' land, the expedition passed in sledges over an ice barrier of eighty-one miles in width, when they came to open water, which arrested their move ments. Wrangle, a Russian, made a like discove ry travelling, I(orth to the Siberian islands in sledges. The existence of this open water, at east in the month of August, is now made cer tain; but the theory hitherto 'maintained, that this open water arose from a milder climate, must now,'-we suppose, be abandoned, in view of the intense cold found in the highest latitude of the expedition. -The last map published by authority of the .ritisl explorers, fou'nded on the explorations' of Captain Inglefield, are found to be incorrect, so far as the North coast of both America and Greenland are concerned. It is probable that no explorer will ever hereafter undertake to pass over the eighty-one miles of. ice .between the North coast 'of Greenland and the open -water mentionedor. that there. will be any important alteration in the maps now ,to be made. 'Dr. Kane returns in fine health, ,better than when we had the' pleasure to 'bid him godd-bye on his outward voyage. The Esqmumaux were found as far North as Rensselaer bay,' and were troublesome and dangerous, uritil Dr.-Kane took dedisive'measures, to stop ~their depreda tibrds. 'Two Esquimaux women~ho had stolen a Buffalo' robe, were followed by him sixty miles on foot, brought back to' the vessel, exposed without much clothing to severe cold, and kepit in confinement until a sort of treaty had been entered into, by which the Esquimaux agreed that their-boys might be taken and held.if farth er depredations. were committed. They had destroyed some of the boats of the~ expidition before the adoption of this. system. The Es, quimaux were foand in that high lattitude to be an extremely hardy and vigorous race-full of courage-so much so that Que of them, armed with ilance, would rwt hesitate to attaick the powerful polar bear of that. region. Dr. Kane and his party were often on short allow ance, 'and 'at times were obliged to rely chiefly on' fio gun for food.
