A remarkable case of defective vision is that of the three children of James Howard, a seafaring man, whose family lived on Ooracoke island, N. 0. They become totally blind each day immedi¬ ately after the sun goes down. If by ehance they happen to be in the yard playing when the sun sets, their play¬ things are instantly laid aside, and efforts made to reach the house, when they soon after retire and sleep soundly until sunrise, after wluoh tbeir sight is described as being restored, and, to all appearanoe, perfectly unimpaired. The youngest is three and the eldest ten years old—two boys and one girl, all of light complexion. Their eyes are light blue, and there is nothing about them that appears at all strange. Nowhere else than in America, with its vast stretches of railways through the unpeopled wilderness, oould an¬ nouncement be made that a road kept in readiness a dining car, well supplied with provisions, to send out with the regular passenger train “at the slightest indication of a snow storm, thus assuring passengers some¬ thing to eat* if the train should become blocked far away from any station."

A large suake, said to be poison¬ ous, was then brought iu a basket and turned out in the oourt-vard. The secretary at once made for him with his wings extended, and the quills at the back of his head (from which he is familiarly named) all erected. The snake glided rapidly around the hiding-place, wall, evidently but swsking finding some hole he or none, col lected himself for a spring, but before he oould strike, the bird seized him by the neck, lashed him'violently on the pavement two or three times, and then, putting one horny foot on his neck, commenced to tear him in pieces, and devour him. • Not more than two minutes elapsed between the turning out of the snake and his being safely stowed away in the secretary s crop, in company with the chickens’ heads.
