I3ujali Courier 1 A Snake " Photcoraph. The Rich mond correspondent of the Petersburg lttlcx tells tho following: A gentleman, a physi cian, resident cear the Warm Springs, but tow on a visit to this city, telis a remark able snake etory. All snake stories are re markable, I know, but this is conspicuously eo, because it is told by a truthful person, who is in the habit of gathering information fr m observation rather than the exaggerated rehearsal of others. The doctor was recent ly sent for to see a lady of his neighborhood who had been bitten on tho ankle by a rat tlesnake. When he reached the patient hs found that her friends, adopting an old In dian romedy which had come down to this generation with the legendary lore of tho neighborhood, had bound the wound, already much swollen and inflamed, with several folds of the innor liBing (liber j of the bark of the sycamore tree. Willing to await the result cf this experiment, and soeing, really, no chance for the application of a better and more orthodox remody, oar doctor allowed the lady to keep the bandage on, and in a few hours she was relieved from the pain and effects of tho poison too, as she declared. Then it was removed. Tho wound present ed a most favorable appearance, and tho cure was pronounced complete. How the most astonishing part remains to be told. On un folding the bandage I have referred to, the exact cut lines, the very photograph, aye, the perfect picture of the snake coiled ready for the spring, was impressed upon it. So per fect was the likeness, that if one had teen the bark bandage lying open on the road side lie would have thought that a rattler" had coiled upon it for one of his dreadful firings. The doctor saw this with his own eyej, and tho ternedy has been applied in birnilar cases in tho country, with as happy effects. Now, wonderful as this story may nppsar, as I siid before, there is every rea son iu the world for regarding it as true. .TiiSDorcL;: daegei:. ITeroic "nIuet 1 a EMeciccr's Wife. Among tho earliest settlers of Wood cock, a beautiful town in the Green Mountain fctate, was a man by the name of Sloey, who had left hia catly home near tho sea. and fullowirig the windings of tho new Connecticut, h id at last pitch ed on a place in the wilderness, where he erected hia cabin, and then commenced an onslaught upon the giants of the forest that rear their heads in stately grandeur about him, but gave way beneath his re lentless stroke, and is a coup'e of jcara he had qtiite an open ppuce encircling his cabin. Durirg this lime he had lived alone, hut when tho second autumn came another journey was taken to the old home by the sea, and when he returned a young wife bore bins company, to share with him tho joys and privations incidtat lo a pioneer. 1 Three years enme and vvcrt, and the clearing had greatly enlarged its borders, alihouih no arms but his labored within its bounds. Tho trees that at first came up to the cabin had now retreated to a re spectable distance, and the ground they had once occupied was now usurped by flourishing crops that cheered the heart of the settler, and encouraged him to Ktili greater exertion. The three years spent in tha forest by the young coup's had been those of peace and contentment. A son was born lo ihern at the commencement ot tho second year of their married life, and who was, at the time the adventure we are about to relate transpired, nearly two years old, and as bright alittle follow as ever cheered the hearts of parents, whose vary life seemed bound up in that of their chiid. The nearest neighbors of Sloey wers more than three miles away through tha forest, so that it was seldom they taw oihers than themselves. Tho settler was too much occupied with hia work to pay much attention to making viit?, and the distance wae so great that it was not saf'o for his wife lo go alone, as the forest swarmed with wild bes?!?, which render ed the night hideous with their cries?. 5ears ppd panthers abounded, but the wolves were the most lo ba dreaded and proved the greatest annoyance ; for often 1 hey would gad hex around th'j cabin n t early dusk and keep up their horrid cries until the eaily gnty of tha dawn pent thora howling into the dim aisles of the forest and up the dark ravines among tho mountains, where shadow? almost like those of night lurked ail throu-h the day. One day late in October business called the settler to tho nearest settlement of im portance in that section, which chanced to l.e some eipht miles distant ; and he set out early in the morniwr, telling hia wife aha need not look for him till night fall, as it was very uncertain what time ha would be able to accomplish his busi ness and it niijiht be that he would not be at homo until late in the right, but como ha would before ho tlept, unless soma unforeseen event intarposed to pre vent it. liending over his child that was sleeping in the bed, he kissed it, and then having bestowed the same mark of flec tion upon hia wife, he bade her be careful not to ttir from the cabin or to allow the chill to wander from her sight, for fear that some harm might come t ihem from tha wild beasts. With this caution, which she promised readily to observe, ha threw his rifle over his shoulder and took hia way across the clearing, and his wifo watched him from ihe doorway until the forest thicket hid her from! his Bight. The morning had given promise of a beautiful day, which assurance was well kept until a little past meridian, when the wind changed to the eastward, and dark clouds began to obzeure tho s-ky to the south and east, giving strong indications that a storm was right at hand, liusy with her work and the care of her boy, Mrs. Sloey did not notice the approach ins storm until nightfall, when the sudden darkness that scorned all at once to throw a deep gloom about tho cabin reminded her that the night and storm were close at hand, and goiug to the doorway the gazed anxiously towards that point in the forest w hence she expected lo get the fiifct sight of her husband. Although her gaze was long and ear-, nest, it was not rewarded by a glimppo of her husband ; then wilh a look at the dark clouda that seemed to hem the little clearing n as if with a huge pall, she tried to calculate how long it would be before tho rain would begin to fall, and to guesa the distanco her husbtind might be away, and the chanee lie had of reaching homo before the etorm. Standing hi the doorway tho gloom seemed to her to deepen every moment, wLile the wind that had been sighing dis mally in Ihe forcet died away, leaving everything almost as still as death. The kettle singing on the hearth recall ed her to the fact that she had commenced preparing supper, and turning away from the door, the approached tho rudo stone fire place, aud paying due attention to what was cooking tLrc fcho approached the bed upon which" the boy was sleeping, and found the air of lha fast deepening night appeared to strike him where ky. . Not caring to close lha oorjCC' jjj'3. wished to. catch the first eo- . . c . . .. return, she be- Icfr, which she could spread upon the bed without disturbing her little Fon. Listening for a moment to make sure no footsteps were approaching, the aseend ed the rude ladder, r.nd felt her way along in the darkness the loft was unprovided with windows to the spot where she supposed Ihe object of her search to be lying, but it was not there Either she or her huFband had moved it, and groping her way about in the gluurn, fhe, after a fow momenta' delay, succeeded in find ing it, and taking it on her arra, the ap proached the ladder and was about to de scend when she caught sight A an object in the room that seemed to turn her blood to ice, and for a moment rendered her in capable of thought or action. Standing in the centre of the room, with i:s head upturned, its fierce eyes glaring nround in every direction, its long red tongue partly protruding frcm its half open mouth, in which the white fangs were visible, was a Ii-.jge, lank wolf, that despite the timidity of its race, had ven tured in through the open door in search of food, attracted by the odor of the meat that was cooking on the fire, as it had b?en prowling ubout the cabin, as was frequently the case at tLi3 season of Ihe year. For a minute, Mrs. Sloey was so para lyzed with horror that for her life or her chil l's she ccuhl net have moved or ut tered a word, and the wolf also remained stationary, snuffing tha air, and then moved cautiously towards the fire, to the momentary relief of tha mother, as she saw that he was farther from the bed upon which her boy was sleeping, yet whom it seemed as if no power on earth could save. Slowly and shyly the wolf approached the fire, snifiling the air as it did so, but not fancying the strong light thrown out by the embers, or the heat that it ap proached became rather uncomfortable ; sr'A as the monster would dart back a new pang cf hon or would assail the heart of the mother, who, wilh feelings that can not be described, was watching any mo tion on which depended the life cf her child. Suddenly one cf those wild fnful gusts of wind that sometimes precede a storm, came whirling into tho cabin, fending tbe liht spuiks iij) iLe chimney, r.nd scatter ing them about the room, to the visible terror and disgust of the wolf, who slided toward the door, and just a3 Mrs. S'o?y was experiescing a delightful hope that the monster would go away, the fierce gust slammed the door to wilh a loud bang, and the heart of the mother sank within her as she saw that the wolf was a prisoner within the cabin. Horror stricken at the situation cf af faiis, Mrs. Sloey watched, with a sinking heart, the movements of the wolf, who, finding himself thus cagsd, began to move auxiouily about the room, no longer seek ing so much for food as for a chance to escape 5 but st this moment, what was the horror of the mother to see her boy, awakened, no doubt by the noise made by the slamming of the door, riie up in bed and call her to come to him. At the sound of the child's voice, the wolf paused near the centre of the room, and tixed its eyes upon the little follow, who, all unconscious of danger, was call ing for his mother. The red tongue still protruded, and the white teeth glistened in the fire-light, as the monster, half fear ing to spring, crept nearer the bed to take a better look at his prey. Half frenzied with tho terrible danger of her child, the mother determined to sacrifice her own life, if need be, for that of her boy. A plan had suggested itself lo her, a mere hope as it were, and she grasped it with all the eagerness that only those so situated can know. Unfolding the quilt and laying it across her arm she prepared to descend the lad der. The wolf was almost at its foot, and tho bed but a short distance away. The monster saw her coming, and with drew his gaza from the child, and fixed Lt upon his new victim. When half way down the ladder, the wolf made a spring at her; this was the moment for her to execute her hasliiy formcd plan, and throwing the quilt, she enveloped tho wolf in its 'lo'ds, who, not fancyiug this covering, commenced back ing towards her striving to get rid of if, but in vain. Now was her moment for action and springing to the bed, she clasp ed her child in hor arms, and sprang up the ladder, unharmed by tho wolf, who wa struggling in vain endeavors to tid itself from the quilt. With one hand she threw tho ladder back into the room, and then a cry of thankfulness full from her lips at the success that had attended her cli'orts to save her child. The boy, not knowing'the meaning of this behavior en the part of his mother, and somewhat frightened withal, began to cry ; and while she tried to hush him iu silence again she did not take her eyes from off the wolf, who, completely blind folded, was spinuing about the room in Ihe most eccentric manner. It was more by its subsequent action than the fortunate throwing of the quilt by Mrs. Sloey that the wolf became eo hopelessly entangled in it. At first ehe watched i 's actions with eatifehneater to as each circle broeghj-possession of her the lire a,,nJ,jfu' jt blunder therein, as he seemed fated to do, would not the cabin be set on fire thereby t.nd a death as hor riblo as the one from which she had just rescued her child be their ftc t Trem bling with fear she wakhed every motion, and at last that which ihe hud feared oc curred. Each circle, as th wolf had frantically endeavored to free itself fiom the cover ing, had brought it nearer to ti e fireplace, under the mass of "lowing embers. A howl of rage and pain followed as it sprang out again upon tho floor, its covering a fhcet of lire. Another bound and it land ed upon the Led, where by a frantic effort it threw off its fiery cover, and uttering yelps of pVm it sprang again to the floor and rushed around the room tbr a chance to eeenpe. Thff bed was all afire in a moment, and Mrs. Sloey uttered a cry of dpriir ns lbs flames caught in every direction and a den.se volume of smoke rolled up through the aperture in the loft. "Father in heaven, m'.:t we perish!'' exclaimed tho mother, as she pressed her child to her breast, "Husband! husband! why do you not come and suve yokt wife a.id child from this hcrribla fate? ' No answer to this frr.ntic rj ictdation came to the ear tf the distracted wtraan save the crackling of the Amies an they caught upon the dry wood of the cabin, and sent their forked tongues up to the spot where el;e ttood, while her crib were filled with the sharp cry of tho wolf as it rarged round and round in its vain en deavors to eisespe, while cer and ancn the flsraea would catch upon the fur, where it was already scorched in its first contact wilh the fire, causing it to utter a howl of agony. Although death stared her in the face, Mrs. Sloey was not a woman to give up so long as there was a chance of life left to her. As we have already said, there was no windows in the loft, eo that every avenue of escape was denied her. Tho roof was covered with hewn plank, fasten ed lo the ridf e polo tnd the fop log of the sides by means of stout wooden pina. To remove one or more of these was her only chance of escape, but to do this with her own unaided hands soemed to fee impos sible. Half choked Y.ith smoke and her child clinging to her and crying wilh all its power, she frit about her to find some instrument, to r.id her in the accomplish ment of her purpose , but all she could find was a stout stick of wood that her husband had placed there to season for an axe helve. Inserting this with all her strength between Ihe log and one of the planks, she essayed with all her strength to raise it from its place, but without suc cess. Finding this immovable, she tried another with like success. Hotter and more sfiflinz grew the tir about her, louder crackled the flames be low, atid fiercer became the cries of the wolf, vtLile the cries of her child rang above all, and rendered her well nigh des perate. Hope wt.B fast leaving her. lut one more plank remained untried, and she Lad gone the length of tha frcnt side of the cabin. With the energy born of de spair, she inserted the stick, and pried upward with all her fctrength, and to her great joy it moved slowly, and the wel come fresh air of heaven came pouring in upon her. Inspired by hope, ehe attempted to start nnother on by its side, but, with all her strength, che fonnd it impossible, and yet the aperture was not large enough to admit her passing through and again the pangs of despair seized hold tipon her. Tha heat was becoming terrible, and the opening she had made in the roof seemed only an outlet for the smoke, which, as it poured out, well nigh stifled her. Clasping her child, she thrust him through the opening and holding him on the roof for a moment, she was about to let him slide to the ground, at the lisk of dashing the life from his body, when the sound cf rapid footsteps were heard and the next moment the well-known voice of her husband sounded like music in her ears, as he came across tho clearing, and by the light of Ihe flames that had begun to break tut in several places, saw the child and the head cf his wife on the roof. "Quick, husbnnd, for Ihe love cf God!" shouted the mother, as she still retained a hold upon her child. And in hardly more time than it takes to tell it, ho was upon tho roof, and wilh his strong arms had torn up another plank, and fprang to the ground with his child, and in a moment more'Iiis wife was by Lis sid.2, with a heart overflowing with joy at their escape. The cabin was burned to the ground wilh all its contents, including the wolf, the author of all the mischief. A new one was erected, and therein, in after years, the story we havo narrated was rehearsed to those that claimed their hos pitality. IJcrxT Eon Hannah ! "I was told to afk you, Hannah, whether it was really true that you are engaged to ba married lo the deacon's son, young Timothy Up ham ? I said I'd ask you the very next time I see jou. I told Jerusha that I didn't know whether it was true or not. What shall I say to her when I see. h''1 ''You tell .lerusha," waxOTii Yankf e the handsome. blrtfid ask Hannah, and dajranb told you it was nono of your bu iucsa whether it was true or not." Horace Greeley wrote : "Women now manage ruot of the public libraries in Massachusetts," and lha compositor road it : "Women now worry most of their public babies by mastication." l.iii:siiat:c Rcwypap&T islanders Tha amusement afforded by ludicrous typographical errors will be inexhaustible w hile pi inter? are fallible and editors writs with abominable indifference ta legibility. One of ihe most astonishing blunders of this kind was committed seme years ago in an editorial in the Bulletin. The wrN ter, who had cautioned his readers against "casting their pearls before swine," wag amazed and grieved to perce'iTe that the compositor had warned the public against "carting their pills before sunrise. " This was corrected in the proof; but there porter who declared of a new etore that it had ' sixty fancy windows," was even mote indignant than the storekeeper when he saw in his paper the statement that the establishment contained "iixty faded wid ows." And then there was ths poef, in Muncy, who sought to soothe the wounded feelings t,f a bereaved family rj publishing in the local paper a poetical tribute to the deceased daughter, Emily, in which he declared thut "we will hal low her grave w'uh our tearp." I la was pursued next morning by Emily's exas peratcd brother, because the prititers in sisted that "we will harrow her grave wilh our steers." The poets suffer most deeply. Noth ing could be worse, for instance, than the misery ct the batd who aseerted, in his copy, that ha "kissed her under the silent 6tars," only to find that the compositor compelled him to "kick her under the cellar stairs. " A certain Jenkins, also, was the victim of an aggravated assault, because when, in his report of a weddings be declared that "the bride was accom panied to the altar by tight bridesmaids,'' ihe types made it that "the bride was ac companied to the altar by tight brides- maids." These things are peculiarly un pleasant when they occur in remarks upon death; as in iho case of the editor, whoy while writing a sympathetic paragraph, observed that "Mr. Smith could hardly bear the loss of his wife," only lo find that the printer had made rt "Mr. Smith could liard'y bear such a boss fur a wife " Even more deplorable is the injury done to the journalist who complimented a cer tain candidate with the observation that he was "a noble old biirgher,- proudly loving his nntiva State." Imagine tha indignation of the candidate and tho hor ror of the editor, when Iho paper the next day contained the assertion that the said burgher was "a nobby old burglar prowl ing around in a naked state." Cut the printers do not make all th mistakes. We remember the laughter and comm;rts provoked by the statament of a reporter, who cal'ed the attention of Ihe constable to tho fact that "on Sun day last eome twenty or thirty mn col' I- ctrd in the hollow bnck of Thomas Men Giniiis, and engaged in fighting during tho whole morning." Itlr. McGinnis' back must have lcen uncommonly large. During the Franco-Prussian war a great daal of fun wrs poked at the New Jersey editor who read in the eabla dis patches that "liazaine has moved twenty kilometres cut cf Mctz." He thereupon sat down and wrote an editorial, in which he said lie was delighted to hear that all the kilometres had been remOTed, and that the innocent people of Melz were no longer endangered by the presence of those dev ilish engines of war sleeping upon a vol cano, as it were. And then he went on to describe some experiments made with kilometres in tha Crimea, in which one of them exploded and blew a frigate out of the water. Another editor clipped froffl fin ex change an obituary poem,- which he sent to the composing room with some intros ductory remarks. lie said i "We pub lish below a very touching production from the pen of Miss M . It was wiitten by her at ihe death-bed of her sainted! mother, and it overflows with those ex prefsiens of filial atTeciion which are the natural outgrowth of a pure, untutored genius thxt has doveloped beneath the shel tering influences of a mother's love. Th reader will observe how each line glows with ardent affection and tenderest re gret." Somehow, in attaching the introduction to the poem, the editor turned up the wrong side cf the clipping, and the con sequence was that the editor's lines led tho reader gently into an article upon "Hog Cholera in Tennessee' It was rumored that the relatives of Miss M were seen prowling around the office the next day, armed with shot-guns, but this has not been traced lo any reliable authority.
