Bullets in Battle.
In the late battle of Solferino, between the
Allies and the Austrians, it is computed th a t
three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers were
engag ed fin at least sixteen hours. Of these,
three hundred thousand were armed with
muskets. Suppose each one fired once In ten
minutes, or six times an hour, then the num
ber of shots fired was twenty-one million six
hundred thousand ; or it once in five misatels,
forty-three million two hundred thousand—if
once in ten minutes, then only one shot tells
fatally in seven hundred and twenty ; if ones
in Eve minutes, then only one in fourteen
hundred and forty ; because the number kil
led from the beginning to the termination of
of the battle was less than twenty-llve thous
and Austrians and fifteen thousand Itslisins
and French. Add to the twenty-one million
six hundred thousand shots. the tens of shove
ands of balls discharged respectively by the
Austrian and French pious of ordnance, than
how comforting the truth that not inachmore
than one bell in a thousand tells fatally in
the battle field—a thousand fall harmless at
the soldier's feet.
The Cholera in £urQpe.
The cholera is said to be making deatrue
tire progress in Iliunburg. The London Med
i...id INICS states that from the 24th to the
31st July there were 424 (Iwo in that city. of
which 332 were fatal. The European Tines,
of the 13th of August, tays

A Curious Fact —lf an mom be sesPend

We have seen several oak trees, and also a

The Croap.—The Jou neat of Heald/ says:—
" When a child is Wien with croup instantly
apply cold water—ice water, if possible—sud

that it never failed to afford almost instant

Snake Among Ore Poultry.—A correspond
ent of the Fredericksburg Herald, writing
from Madison county, Va., mentions the fol
lowing as "a fact" which occurred there re
cently. It is one of those "fads" which are
stronger and harder to believe than moderate
fiction:
A lady hearing an alarm in her hen house
proceeded to ascertain the cause, and found a
very large black snake. She sent immediate
ly for her husband, who shot its head off, and
upon examination found it contained three
eggs, seven chickens, and had swallowed a
hen as far as the wings. A few days atter,
another was killed in the same place, and its
body contained fifteen eggs.

" Some Snaix."
The Huntingdon American of last week is
responsible for the following remarkable
snake stories :—A couple of weeks age we no
ticed the fact that Mr. John White, jr., of
this borough, came upon a deo of snakes, on
Warrior Ridge, and succeeded in kiling four
of them. This week we are able to chronicle
a snake slaughter that exceeds anything of
the kind we ever heard of. One day last
week, whilst Messrs. James Watson and Con
rad Buff were engaged plowing a field belong.
ing to the farm of the former, in Woodcock
Valley, about six miles from this place, they
plowed up a not of snakes, and from the ap-
Ferar of the ground, as the reptiles made
e quarters, in all directions, they
thought that they_had trespassed upon a world
of snakes, as the .rth was completely cover
ed for the distance of several yards. They
immediately stopped their horses, and made
an onslaught on them, and after about fifteen
minutes hard labor, counted the killed, and
found they had the somber of eighly-hre—
gist y-two vipers and twenty blaclumakes.
&nee the above was in type, Mr. John
Stoaebreaker, of Franklin township, has in
formed us of a snake story that takes the
"spots off" the above, and anything we bare
ever beard in the snake line. Mr. Hampton,
of the above township, one da ff y last week, was
engaged in quarrying stone, ma cuarry close
to the turnpike road, and observing two or
three intakes lying on a rock, he started to
kill them, bat as be approached they secreted
themselves under the rock. Not wishing
them to swaps, he got his hammer and broke
off a i portion of the ruck, when he beheld a
dew; of copperheads. 11e procured a club,

" A neighbor °fears was trying to convince
another neighbor that it was better to buy
large pigs in the Spring than small ones, as
the former would eat little more. One of his
reasons was the following : Last Spring I
bought a little pig from a drover. and be was
good for eating. but wouldn't grow =nob.—
He got so after a week or two, that he would
eat a bucketful at a time, and then, like Oli

up the pig and put hies in the same bucket I

The different manifestoes from quarters that

The " United Opposition" appears, to the
getting daily into more and more difficulty in
respect to the Massachusetts doctrine of two
years' denial of the right to vote to persons of
foreign birth after naturalization. A disposi
tion to protest, on the part of the American
branch of the aforesaid Unity, is quite out
spoken and decided in various quarters. Thu
resolutions of the Ohio State Republican Con
vention have met with responses anything but
harmonious, from the spread-eagle Gibral
tars ; and the Americans in the Ninth Ward
in the city of New York have taken occasion,
by a series of resolutions, at once to proclaint
against the partnership which has been ente
red into between the American and Abolition
sections, and to protest against the liberties
taken with the joint capital stock by the other
member of the firm. They have
" Resolved, That the recent action of m

This is a point which, to the United Oppo
