[ From the Rochester Union.] Child Charmed by a Snake. Wo have heard the particulars of a won derfnl case of snake fascination from an au thentic' source, which \vc will briefly relate, however much they may shock the sensibili ties of tlie delicate portion of our readers. — There is residing on Monroe street, near the eastern line of the city, a worthy family liy the name of Davis, the head of the family be ing employed in a nursery. r. aud Mrs. Davis have a daughter two years of age, who lias become attached to a snake, which came in the vard from an adjoining field a few days since, and has become so much under the in fluence of the reptile that it appears to think of but little else. The snake aud the child fr.-t met, no doubt, while the latter was at play in the yard near the house, but just how i-tng since, the parents do not know. One day Mrs. Davis found the snake in the arras of the child, and the little girl was fondling it as she would a kitten. The mother was natu rally much alarmed by the apparent peril iu which she saw her child, and seized a stick to destroy the reptile. The snake retreated, bowed its tongue, and hissed at the mother. The child cried, an 1 begged so hard of its •t a rent to desist, that she allowed ttie snake to retreat to its hiding place. It soon became apparent that the little girl bought of little else bat her companion, the nake, and would return to the yard in search of it as often as she was allowed to do so.— Under the fascination of this reptile, the child—a vcrr pretty little girl—has begun to decline, and now weighs but eighteen pounds. ; IU pectablc physicians were consulted, it is said, aud advised that no violence be used , toward the snak', as it might prove fatal to I the child. 1 low many meetings the child and llietnakc have had, we are not positively in f. rrned, but we infer that they have been fre- j : nt. When they meet they rush to each other with all the apparent emotions of friend-! ship and attaehmen that can exist between ' two living beings. Only yesterday Mrs. Davis came to the city with the little girl, and when j si. returned the party left in charge of the }i<>hs • informed her that the snake had been more bold than n-ual, and had actually been . i pott the steps leading to the door, awaiting : the appearance of the child. As to the size and variety of this reptile we | rrc not advised. We suppose however it is ■ : c of the common brown wood snakes which ;.re re inh das harmh > ai.d which seldom ct'niti a length of more than three feet. This affair has attracted the attention of J the of Mr. Davis and many have ; urged that the child be allowed to play with ! the snake for their amusement : but this has j 1 en denied tve understand. Tht parents feel ! much alarmed and desire to remove their little girl from the fascinating influence of the snake without prejudice to her health and existence. They have been told that it i dangerous to take any sudden stop in the matter and have i not yet done anything to avert the eoiiscqo- ; i uces they fear. < >ur informants arc men who are is liable :nd who have conversed with the family and i have seen the child referred to. They rrpre frit the parents to be worthy people and the • hild to le a pretty one, bright and intelligent but evidently in declining health. — JS-.j 'T net lioniohi ilk J< mini states that IDc young children ol Mr. and Mis. •!. J>. lb why ol that place, went into the woods ©;■ Saturday i t, to pick berries, without the consent of their parent®, and wandered about until lost. -Not returning before evening, the aiixiou parents, in company with ncariy luO others, started lur tho woods and succeeded in finding them. If seems that, after having picked enough berries tin y thought it time to return home, but, on turning about for that purpose, they found themselves in a strange ] tee, aud could not find the road or any way out. They sat down on a log to think, and sat there a long time, finally giving up that they were lost. Mary, the eldest said to the others, " Let us pray to God to help us to find our way out'' and all kneeling there by the log, with hands uplifted, they prated for ti liveraucc. Tiiev then took a new start,and oou found whortleberries plenty, with which 1h: v satisfied their hunger. Tlie little ones now commenced calling aloud the names of tlie different members of the family ; Carrie, the vourgest, calling repeatedly for milk, and,com plaining of fatigue, she sat down to rest. Ida, liie second, was tired and sleepy and would stay there than try any longer to get out.— Mary then stripped bark from a dead tree,laid :t on the ground for a pillow, covering it with leaves, and the two youngest laid down to leep. She found that the sun had gone down and it was getting dark, and she again knelt down to prav for deliverance and that God would take care of them. She had made up Iter mind to stay there the night, knowing she . mid not find the way out herself. She knew the night would be long and the little one micht wake before morning hungry, so she filled her pocket with wintergreens to pacify them—every few minutes during the time call ing upon the different members of the family. "When lonnd the two youngest were sleeping, and the eldest, nut yet 10 years of age, was •ano'j her knees praying. No Fl'. jox Am.owkd. —The Washington ics the central organ of Douglas, talks in this vvi e about " one electoral ticket ": '• Finding themselves driven to tlie wall,and c rtaiu defeat awaiting them everywhere, North and Smith, the Secessionists in some of the S at"- crv out for a fusion with National Dem ocracy. Upon their bended knees they cry for that quarter now which Jefferson Davis declared in the Senate should not be given to the supporters of Judge Douglas. "We will not support Douglas !" shout Yanccy and the Di unionists. He is a traitor ! 'exclaims Gov. Smith, of Virginia. He L no better than Line -In, says Benjamin and his supporters are 'gamblers and trick-dors,' re-echoes Dickinson of New York. Aud yet the national Demo cracy, with their candidate denounced, their platform repudiated and their organization stigmatised as the ' half way hose to abolition,' arc called upon to form a union with the Sece issmnists. A uniou with Disnnionists—a union with traitors alike to the Democracy and the Constitution ! Never never. Let the cost be what it may, under no circumstances will we strike our Hag. No, we will not lower it even an inch, to >uit all the Disnnionists iu the land. Wc are for no quarter—no quarter to the Dis nnionists, and no quarter to the Administra tion which upholds them. To falter now would be treason —treason to the gallant Democracy of the North treason to Stephen A. Douglas aud Herschcl V. Johnson, treason to the na tional Democrats of the South, who stand bv tlie flag of the country, and strike for its Co n ; and, worse than all, treason to the be r hopes of the country and the best interests if the people*" Rictus from all Jlatlons. There are now in store in the U. S. Ar senal, at Springfield, Mass., one hundred aud sixty thousand guns. The little item for printing for the last session of Congress, amounts to about s>oo,ooo. The New York Illustrated News states that Mayor Wood is soon to he married to Miss Gcor giaiina Crean, sister to Mrs. James Gordon Bennett". A club has been formed in New York numbering over forty members, with the intention of paying a visit to Isaac Y. Fowler, at Havana, sometime in August. The average of five hundred thousand lbs. of butter is computed to be consumed weekly in the city of New York, one-fifth of it only being good, aud a great deal of the rest being intolerable. A ramor having been circulated that Sara Houston, of Texas, was about to Withdraw in fa vor of Bell, replies that such is not the fact. He says he shall run as an independent candidate for the Presi dency " anyhow." lie will be sure to get the electoral vote of Texas. - At the Breckinridge meeting in New York the other evening, Daniel S.

Hcenan lias signed a contract, whereby for $25,000 he w ill give sparring exhibitions for three months, and his first exhibition will be given in New | York. The exodus from Ireland continues, thus far, at as great a ratio as in 1859. The population of the country is now 533,000 less than it was in 1850, when the last census was taken.

FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois, FOR VICE PR? 1 DENT, HANNIBAL HAMLIN, of Maine. FOR GOVERNOR, AND'W G, CURTIN, of Centre Co, We invite the attention of our read ers to the able speech of Hon. JOHN' HICK MAN, delivered at Philadelphia, which is pub lished on our outside. It is one of the most ; searching reviews of DOUGLAS' course we have | seen during the canvass, and exposes the hy pocrisy of the " Little Giaut" in a plain and I fearless manner. THE METEOR OK FRlDAY. —Scientific obser vers at Yale, Union and Troy Universities variously compute the height of the meteor above the Earth at from 50 to 80 miles. Its speed, relative to the Earth, is computed to have been from five to eleven miles per second. Its course was in the same direction as that of the Earth, which, so to speak, it overtook and • passed. This would make its absolute velocity in space somewhere between 90,000 and 180,- 000 miles an hour, it was seen, as far as we ; can yet learn,"throughout the whole cf Lower I Canada. A DIFFERENCE IN lIREEDING win II MUST HAVE A CAUSE ; WHAT IS IT ."—.Mr. DOUGLAS is receiving marked attention in five of the New England states, and is everywhere treat ed with all the respect due to his official sta | tiou. Mr. JOHNSON, his associate on the Presidential ticket, is grossly insulted when i he attempts to speak in his native state, at the South, and even Georgians hang him in effigy ! (HR- An official dispatch from Col. LEE to the War Department represents everything qniet on the Texas frontier. Even rumors as I to CORTINAS or his men, or of robbers from i ■ r the Mexican side of the river, have ceased It is not thought necessary ionger to expose to the diseases incident to that region at this season, more troops than may be actually re ijuisite. JJ©* As far as heard from, the census re ports of leading Pennsylvania towns stand . i thus : Philadelphia, population, 650,000 ; Lancas ter, 20,000 ; Harrisburg, 14,862; Scranton, 12,000 ; York. 10,000 ; Easton, 10,000 ; Al- I lentown, 8,0-47. Pittsburg, Reading, Eire, i Williarasport, Pottsvill and Norristown, have not yet been beard from. The population of ! Wilkes-Barre borough is 4,200, the township 2,789, making together 6,989. The census of Lykenxtown reports the popu j lation at 1,077 ; of Wiconisco and its sur : ronndiugs about 1,000. , I The suburbs of Pittsburg seem to have in -1 creased in population very fast. The Birraing ; ham and South Pittsburg are computed by j the present census to have ten thousand in habitants, more than quadruple that of the last census. The other boroughs are rapidly increasing in extent and population, and pro- perty is fast rising in value. The population of the second Ward, Allegheny, is 5,625. In ISSO it was 3, 555—an increase of over 2,000, , or about 60 per cent. Itey According to the returns already re ceived at the Census Bureau at Washington, the crops in all the Northern and Northwes - tern States are immensely heavy this year. In f Pennsylvania they are represented to he ncai - ly if not quite double those of last year, and ' in other States they will probably be corres pondingly heavy. This fully coincides with ( 1 what we have been led to expect from the ac , 1 counts which have reached us from other i ' sources. The census returns, however, come ! in very slowly, and it will probably be some i I time before we shall he aide to learn the fall ' j extent of our agricultural prosperity, although ■ Superintendent KENNEDY manifests a com " I mendable desire to satisfy the public curiosity r on the subject at the earliest possible moment. IfctY" A dispatch from New Orleans informs I us that a large flouring mill at Austin, Texas, was burned on the 26th of July, involving a loss of $lOO,OO0 —the work of an incendiary ; and that a negro had been caught in the act 3 of setting fire to a building in Georgetown, who confessed that he had been incited by j Abolitionists to burn the town. e The New York correspondent of The t Philadelphia- Press says there is no truth in the report that some of the personal frieuds t of Isaac Y. Fowler propose to visit him at • Havana in October. The same writer says ' that George Sanders and ex-Governor Wal- ker did indeed think of establishing a daily , Douglas paper, but that the expense deterred them from going on. | LOCAL AND GENERAL. i a©"- REPUBLICAN COUNTY COX i VENTIO.V.—The Republican County Committee having met at Towamia. on the 2th ult., it wai resolved to eail a Republican County Convention, to be Composed of two j delegates trout each election district, to be bald in the | Court House, at Towauda boro' on M()N D.Ct' evening, j September 3,1 -kill.

The only crop of which there is any doubt ex . pressed, is the corn, which is a little backward", though rapidly coming up to time in full luxuriance. An early frost might do some damage to it, though that is not probable. Early apples are already coming into our market in large quantities, and very large and free from worms.
