SNAKE FIGHT,
On Saturday last Mr. John Foster, who
resides near the Washington Print Works,
in this town, discovered near his house a
and pursued him some twenty yards to
near a small tree, .when tho serpent turned,

prepared to act upon the defensive. He
threw the billet of wood and missed him,
whereupon his snakeship came at him full
tilt, his mouth thrown open, and with his
fiery eyes and forked tonguo exhibiting all
tho venom of his species. Mr. F. seized a
small stick, and as ho came up made a pass
at him, but he dodged it and gave back.
This was repeated several times, the snake
all the time with his eye steadily and pier
cingly fixed upon that of Mr. F. After
some two minutes spent in this way the
snake suddenly vanished, "and," says Mr.
F. "as quick as thought itself I beheld him
upon the limb of a tree, about ten feet above
my head, and iu tho very act of springing
upon me." Tho distance from the ground
to the extremity of the limb where the ser
pent prepared (bra leap, could not havebeen
lewthan from twenty-live to thirty feet, and
yet Mr. F. had only time to change the di
rection of his own eyes ere they met tho
keen gaze of tho serpent "in his new position.
Ho then called to his brother to bring him
a loaded gun keeping his eye upon tho
snake until ho was shot dead from the tree.
Before they left the spot a still larger one
appeared, much more venomous than the
first, being-determined to revenge tho death
of its mate. This ono they also killed; she

here until Monday evening, when lie sud

or alive; and whether it comes from himself,

The convention then took recess till 1
o'clocks
In thc afternoon some amendments were
offered by way of addition, which wcreonh
intended to consume time, to avoid which
Mr. McCahcn, of Philadelphia, called tlie
previous question, (which by rule may bo
done.) It was sustained by a majority of
2 or 3. So now wc have made an amend
ment in spite of all united opposition.
Mr. Stuvens made some very strange
remarks on the subject of the alteration as
follows. After thc aboVc vole had been
taken the 9th section dame up. Amend
ment was offered by Mr. Hcistcr. A mo
tion wai made that thc committee rise.
Not agreed to. Somo catechetical debate
took place iii which Mr. Dunlop asked Mr.
Merrill "what is felony?" (Laughter ) He
then enquired "what is not felony?" (Ad
ditional laughter.) A motion was made
that the committee rise. . Objected to. Mr.
Slovens then remarked 'that ho thought
the committee should rise because it is cus
tomary iu all deliberative bodies to adjourn
on being informed of tho death of any of
their members, in order to aflbid the sur
vivors an opportunity of reflecting on tho
solemnity of thc scene. That now by a
vote just taken the Convention had solemn
ly destroyed the venerable instrument which
has secured the liberties of tho people of
the Commonwealth for 47 years by a mea
gre majority of 3 votes, and therefore the
committee ought (ho thought) to rise in or
der to afford thc members a chance to med
itate on the sacrilegious act,' .fee. and went
on to sing the requiem lomr and lnnd.
Mr. Mann suggested tho propriety of or
dering crape to be worn on tho left ami o
members. This debate made confusion
more confused. Tho committee rose in
disorder and the convention adjourned.
This morning the 0th section came up.
Mr. I leister's amendment pending which
was to require the Governor to communi
