Miss Jennie Patterson, who will be remembered
as having created such a sensation in our literary
circles last winter, lias recently been giving a se
ries of her Reading Entertainments in Virginia,
in referring to her Reading in that place, the
editor of the Harrisonburg Ilirald says: ‘"ln an
editorial life of nearly six years, it is the first
time we have felt wholly unequal to the task of
reporter, and will not attempt a description ot the
charming entertainment of Mi *8 Pattcron, whose
readings are only equalled by her beauty, refine
ment and intelligence, knowing full well that wo
would fail.”
We regret to Iram that a little child, daughter
of Mr. R. J. Mabry, of Newton county, was bit on
the foot by a snake, of the species known as the
Highland Moccasin, on Monday last. The little

placed under the treatment of Dr. Yancey. When
the parents returned home with it in the evening,
it was reported as getting over the effect* of the
poison, since which lime we have not heard from
it. Dr, Yancey informs us, however, that it will
be a long time before it entirely recovers lrom the
effects of the bite.
We take great pleasure in directing the attention
of our readers to the very interesting snake story
which we publish to-day, on the last page of this
paper. It is well worth a perusal, as it shows to
what a perfect “science” the art of snake story
telling has been redueod. This is the sixth snake
story ot our present series, and we publish it en
tire, because ot the unusual interest that attaches
to it, and believing that those who appreciate a
story ot til at sort, wil' find it just the kind of story
they can appreciate. Again, we ask tor it a careful
reading.
The Missouri Press Association,at Its late session

of the editor, without a thought of recompense.
And we commend their action to the earnest eon

A negro, on the plantation of Mr. Hun
ter, near Covington, accidentally shot himself
in the hand with a pistol on last Friday. An

Newton county eoracs to tho front with
a bear story. One night iast week the negroes
on M.ij ir Lee's plantation, about 7 miles from
town, was startled ley a terrible racket tn tlic
yard between tho dogs and some unknown an
imal. The disturbance lasted some time before
they could solve the mystery, when nil at once
an old negro saw it was a huge black bear, and
that he was “using up” the dogs in a hurry.
Every negro in the house rotreated to the loft
and remained there until morning. Tracks
were seen about the yard and those who are
competent to judge report th t they nro un
doubtedly those of a largo boar, A bite man
in the vicinity says lie has seen similar tracks
about his corn fi IJ and in the swamps on this
plantation.
A party of young men sat up with a
corpse at the residence of Mr. C. L. Bowkcr.
on last Sunday night. Although the subject
is a delicate one, yet the behavior of three of
tho-e young men should he known, and laying
their foolish threats aside, we propose to treat
the affair fearlessly. Ole of these heartless
creature-, for the merriment of his associates,
and to the disgust of the mare refined present,
Carried the c (fin about the room in his arms,
and acted in a disgraceful manner during thn
entire evening. When society takes into it
fill* such dead-beats and heathens a* two of
these fellows have proven themselves to be,
no wonder it degenerates. But let it be said
inhonorof our fair sisters of Midway that
they have resolved not to recognize in their
society any young man who stoops so low.—
Their company was not desirable on this occa
sion, and well they knew it. After they had
been repeatedly requested to behave them
selves they paid no attention to the appeals hut
continued their devilment. If it becomes nec
essary we shall give the names of these par
ties. The “first brick-bat has been thrown,”
nOw lot ‘ business” proceed.
One of Covington'* fairest daughter*
will accept our thanks for a waiter of hund
sonto bell pnir* and a fine selection of heautiful

the most artistically arrangod of any we ovor
saw. But Covington young Indies can heat

Shall we have a party on the evening
of August 2f*ih? It Inis been customary for
our young people to havo an entertainment of
seme kind in honor of the commencing of tho
Full Term of onr College, hut as yet we
hear of no jiluoo selcotod for tho entertain
ment, neither has there been any interest man
ifested about it. What suy the young people
to a “Sociable at the College?”
Our now devil plant* himself in tho
office front window and gazes at the hog
wallow near tho side-walk witli nn expression
on hi* countenance that compels the female
pedestrian to lift her skirt* nnd frown at the
city authorities for their negligenoo in letting
this nuisance continue to goon. Tho last who
passed had striped tops on the “understanding

\ Newton ohnp attended a curious mar
riage in an adjoining county last week. A
Mr. W rcoeived an introduction to Miss
P on Sunday night, and in the brief pe
riod of fifteen minutos he knelt at beauty’s
shrine and asked her to share hi* fato and for
tune for all time to come. This maMcti, young
and fair, leaned her golden head upon his
manly bososn and sweetly whispered ;
, “In thy heart my home I view,
And there I'll live and live for you.”
A sound similar to the popping of an ale cork
was heard on the hack porch, and then the
plighted couplo entered the hou*eand inform
ed the old folks that a marriage would come
off on the coming Tuesday evening to be fol
lowed by a dance. To this all agreed and the
eatables and music wereobtained for tho occa
sion on Monday, nnd the young girl proceeded
to the wash-tub to*‘fix itp’ her mustentmention -
ems for the coming honey-moon. Tuesday
morning the blushing sun looked brighter and
the birds of tho wild-iy >od sang sweeter than
ever before in the history of this maiden’s life.
But the hours flew swifily by, and soon
Day faded from tho west, and the white moon
Hung like a diamond in tho oloudloss sky.
The groom led the bride in the parlor at the
hour of 8 p. m. The knot waa tied and tho
dance commenced. Oh, that dance! Better
that this brido had never ‘shook her loot.’ —
Old Newton played off as a newspaper man
and first led off in the roel with the bride,
slightly squeezing her at every turn. The
weather being warm Newton proposed to trv
a promenade in the garden. When alone he
explained his oonduot by saying that he “be
lieved in the frei dom of the Press," at the
same time brushing a eoh-weh from her face
wi'h his lips. She didn’t b’lieve in no such
“freedom,” no, golly, she didnt ! Then
lie pur his arm around her waist,
And squeezed her some, I guess !
“C m vou sav aught,” he said,
“Agin the freedom ot tho press f”
He gave another buss,
And then says sh", “I do coofess,
I rather, kinder, sorler like,
This ’ere freedom of the pres* I"
During the time this tableaux was being car
ried on in the garden, a red-pepper time was
transpiring in the hnu*e. The groom foaming
at the mouth and ensuing the “unfaithfulness
of the female sex ' He wore I e would never
sock to his promise cause she hadn’t s'uek to
her’n. And so he mounted his mule nnd hid
acini to the delega’ion, informing them that
lie “was done with their sort forever." New
ton county get to the door. That was enough !
Half-a-dozen wild demons made for him. In
the scufll: lie fell undor the porch and on his
nil-fours beat a hasty retreat. Owing to the
shade of the tree* he made his escape, arid
reached Bolianan’s Shop just at the break of
day on Wednesday morning. These solemn
facts are true ! Al as ! too true !
