Whisky not tin Antidote.? Important
Information.?Win. A. IVrrin.of Staunton, Vn.,
vns t>il nt thin place liy it rattlesnake, which lie
was handling itH a pet, on Katurtltiy, lit I'iree
o'clock, mill died on Sunday (yesterday) about
half-past one o'clock. lie still'ered intense pain
nud extreme nausea until death relieved him.
'l'here were some five or >ix physicians present.
They treated the case with ammonia and whisky,
that seemed to have very little efTect. The
unfortunate man was under the impredion that,
the snake would not strike unless it was in coil
inn! lhal if it did strike that whisky was a perfect
Antidote ; hotli of which opinions were erroneous,
though 1 think that is the general opinion. I am
satisfied that the idea of whisky counteracting
the elTeet of the poison i* a mistake, and this inBtance
should prove a warning to persons hereaf
tor not to rely on this remedy. This man was
bitten four years ago by a copperhead, un?l was
relieved tlicn by drinking a large quantity of
whisky. It whs a singular fancy Tor any man
to j?et rattlesnakes.
JUJte Bullet Woutidt.?A medical man, wlio
lias chnrgc of upwards of a hundred wounded
moil, French and Austrian!), noticed with 6urj>riso
that the majority of the wounds were on
4hc left, indicating that they were struck while
in the act of firing, or that the troops had not allowed
in aiming for the latterial deviation of the
rifle bullet* He also olwervod that, these bullets
made holes as if they had been drilled, and that
they traveled over or through tho body in the
moat eccentric directions. In one ease the ball
M.truck the right eye, carried away the bridge of
liie noee. ana panned over the left c.yc, making
it?ciritjiisl before the ear. Another penetrated
near t4".c "hack of the neck and came out below
4hc root of the tongue. The conclusion is, after
all, conical balls produce less dangerous gunshot

those already made, and loudd h:s voice and en
Coiirageinelit in favor of the lllile Kid^e Railroad
; ill favor of the Slate granting such aid as
tiny he necessary to accomplish I he woik. He
did not flatter himself thai lie would l?e aide lo
add anything, or any new argument, in In-half
of the enterprise, 'l'iiey had lieeu lold that it
was nn enterprise of groat imigniitide. 'I'hey
were all paepurcd, at least, lo concede that fact.
They hud heen told iliut it was mi enttrpriao
which, if accomplished, would bring prosperity
and fortune into the Slate of South Caro'ina.
They had heeil assured lli.it the menus wero at
iiiinu, nun wimoin, iui?iirrnsf?mg ami without
taxing t)>?< people. Was it not true, if this enterprise
was accomplished, il would bring pros
pol ity to Soulli Carolina? Was there any one
in the Sound of his voice 1 lint could doubt tliC
proposition ? Was there any ony one who knew
to little of railroads, what they liuve done for
thnir country, u.s to douhl and contend this proposition?
Mr. IVrrin then alluded to the increased vnlnc
of property. They hud limit railroads at a cost
of $ 18,001),000. The value of lands in llio upper
division alone from that outlay wua $1 U.OoU,000.
What irii^rht he paid of the increased value
of properly in the lower division ? What might
he said uh to its prosperity on Charleston 7 Tliey
were obliged to leave that out of calcnlatiou,
because there was no certain data upon which
to project on argument growing out of it. All
that he could say wos, that they who have the
melius of trudo use them most, and could not do
without theui. (lather than sco them go down,
they would contribute from their private capital,
inure than il look to construct Ilium altogether.
Thoy had listened to wlmt had been srtid of
the .Stales of Oeorgin, New York, Maryland-?
Not oue-half had heen told them. The prosperity
of these cities from railroads has never yet
been proporly estimated, for thero was no data.

reilroads had hceu instrumental in increaseing
the magnitude of thai great city ? New York

President then announced that the upeuking was

Tlie assemblage tlien dispersed to the barbocuo

Twelve beeves and nineteen sheep had been roasted

who remained were invited to a bountiful supper.
