JUistrlb.ncous ! THRILLING ENCOUNTER WITH A DEN OF ULACK SNAKES. Prof. J.

Is'o sooner, however, Lad he thrown the stone, nvhca ho heard a fear ful tustliug among the brush to Lis left, aud another whistle, louder and shriller than the first. Turning, his eye iu the direction from whence came the noise, he saw a moustrous Black Snake, (a Haver) coming directly toward him, with his head erected about five feet from the ground, and his forked tongue darting from his distented jaws, as if bent on fight. The Prolessor, (who is an ac knowledged cm; shot.) immediately r-ised his Carb'iDe, fired! tad had the V satisfaction of seeing tho uioustcr Snake roll over iu the agonies of death having split his head open with th'e ball. ; This proved but tho commencement of j the battle for, before the l'rol'essor had . . .. , "we lo congratulate Jitmseit upon las EUCCOcs ;n vani-iiiihin.!. twuof his foes, a ... . , .. . .

LOVE AT riRST SIGHT. A Scotch emigrant passed through Milwaukee not long siuce, on route for Minnesota. In Lis family was his eldest daughter, who is described as of extraor-; dinar Lcau'y, and a form of faultless I symmetry, iler every wo.euient was j graceful aud ladylike. Alter dinner, the head of the family sauntered out to ob tain a glimpse of Milwaukee. In his rambles, he found a young fedow-couutry-man, who had preceded him about six years. The two were soon engaged iu conversation about auld Scotia, closing with an invitation from the old gentletnau to the young mac to visit Lis family. This was accepted. The moment the young man was introduced to the daught er, he was blindly in love, and before the interview closed, proposed and was refer red to father. The old gentleman took the matter into consideration, made due inquiry iato tha character and p.c.-peots of the young man, was cbuudaully satis fied, and within twen.-y hours fioin their first meeting the two were made one. The parents proceeded west, and the bride and groom came eastward on a wedding tour. JteSfUuruly boys iu East liostou are giving their teachsrs considerable trouble. A few days since, one of tha gang (organ ized to resist their teachers,) who had been very troublesome, when brought up for correction, resisted. The master ad monished by the recent case iu the D wight school, sent the boy home, but the scamp on his way tore the skin off his face, and presented himself to his parents covered with blood and his clothes partly torn. The indignant parent brought the boy to the police station, breathing legal ven geance against the barbarous master; but a little investigation revealed the lact that the master had not punished him at all, and that the young rogue had pun ished himself. A WIT once asked a peasant what part he performed ia the great drama of life "I mind my ovn business '." was the caus-1 tic renly. A SHIP OF DEATH FLOATS INTO.

Ten men, of whom the captain was one, lay stiffened corpses on the deck, thirty five lay helplessly sick aud some dying, two retained tuffi-'lent strength to erect aloft and the other three crawled feebly about the deck. The ship was boarded by the islanders, and as they climbed over the bulwarks, the man at the wheel faint ed from excitement ; one of them died as he lay, his death being announced by the fel'ovr occupant of bis birth feebly xo-it-iug, "Take away this dead man." On tha bridge of the vessel lay the body of ths captain, as it had lain for four months, with nine of his shipmates by his side, all decently laid out by thoso soon expected to share their fate. The survivors conlJ nat bear to sink the bodies of their eomrades into the ses, but kept them so that when the last mau died the fated ship that had been their common home should be their conimou tomb. The surgeon of the ship woiked faithfully to the Lst, but cold, hunger, and scurvy, and dysentery were too much for him. The brave old captain was the first victim, and died blessing his men. Theu the others fell, ona hy one, until the ship was teuantcd only by ihe dcad and dying. One Di'ght aiore at sea would have left the Piaua a floating coffin Not one of the fifty would have lived to te'.l the ghastly tale. COPPERHEAD NOMINEE FOR 517BR3IE JUDGE IN PENNSYLVANIA. The Ilanisburg Ttlcjraph says : George Sharswccd, of Philadelphia, was nominated on the eecoud ballot by t'u j Copperheads of l'enasylvania, in Stato Convention assembled, on Tuesday, na ilieir caudidate f jr Supreme Judge. Tl.a result took no one by surprise, except ona or two aplrat:ts for tha same honor, aud whiie ail the delegates who have a knowl edge of tho legal profession recognized Mr. Sharwood as a lawyer of ability, it was freely admUUd Ly u:aDj of the shrewder politicians in the Convention that, in a personal sense, the nominee is the weakest and uio;t ill-advised any party ever made. Mea'al capacity, without iho physical force of health, and ordinary con stitutional strength to give it activity, is in very little use in a position such es Supreme Judge, where great labor is i x acted in the discharge of lis duties Mr. Shars.ood is afllicted with a bodily dis ease which unfits him, half Lis time, f-r labor of every kind. Tor this reason Li.- nomination is unjust to the other member. of the Court, who if he should be elected (which is not within any man's calcula tion) would be comrelled to do their ow, aud Sharswood's portion oi allotted work.
