Die sweat poured from the poor man’s body in streams. The snakes gave forth that musky odor peculiar to them, and this, reken with the cbatenere and warmth of of tlie air, produced a sensation as of sufliw-ation. In a moment, still biasing angrily, one of the snakes began to move, and Allen raw its glistening eyes at hie feet. The clammy thing crawled over Ills bare feet and circled around hie naked legs. The creature eeetued to like the warmth of Allen's body, and stopped for a moment. Then it slowly began to aaeend hie lgnt« to hu budy. and ewm the tumble eyes were looking into those of Alton, and they U'em d to bam thnmgh to hie brain. L'p orer his fare the creature moved Ito heed, aad then enctsMitered Alton’s crisp and curly hair. With aa angry rattle the snake drew back hie bead, and Alton, know mg it would strike, raised hte bands as quick aa Lightning and gripped the creature by the threat. With the other hand tee grasped the ratites, aad then he slowly, surely straagted the creature to death, though the fearful effluvium which it emitted alm<wt careed him to faint. For l»alf an hour he held Hie snake firmly, he saw the malignant light bi Its eyre grow dim and finally dresje pear, and then he knew one enemy al teaM was rived. But he darvd not drop th. dead make, for the other Itad become uneasy at the duMppearaoce of Ue mate, aad seemed on the pint of starting cut la search. The fiercr, glaring eyre moved from sid. to sMe. the ruitte was eeMotn still. amPAlien never for a mo ment took hto eyre from tbuee hostile ertau For hours bo stood thus, eoneumed with a feverish Hurst, Lie nerves at a terrilJe teresitai, and hie eyse strained and almret bursting.

The snake cuifod and sprang, but Alton was too ao tive. Ue rtepped to one side and tot the snake go by him. aad then, with a small dub, ernatewi out the venumuue life for ever. Then It was that Alton’s great nerve gave way He yelled and shrieked and cursed and lore in a mad delirium; and whan neigtebora. attracted by hte ertee, reeriwd Mm aa hour later, he was frothing at the mouth, bbwdiag al the bum* aad th. antekee were Vwn to ahreda For weeha tee lay in hie eaten on the outer edge of death, tert Ma sturdy cue autution stood by him. and he recov aawd. though bo wee but a wreck of teto freutar Mtf.

Tbe loss, however, cannot be approximated at this time. Farms were •aaued out, and trees along the bank* of streams swept away, aud landslides occurred on nearly every road hading out ot Pittsburg. So far but two deaths from drowning have been repotted.

Mrs. Ncbaefer to came re frenlrc ou seeing her children in tbe ruu that abe gut bi the water too and was a.u<o,i druwued. Tbe bodies of the chil dren were recovered. A puyaician was called to see Mrs. Schaefer, but it 1* n<q thought she will recover. Two other children U> the family were saved.

The hot weather was certainly here Sun day, tor it Jwas pre-eminently the warin st day of tbe year. But the churches were well filled, and very interesting ser mons were preached. We ate unable to give as full a report of the sermons in to day’s issue as we would like. AT THE FIRST METHODIST. Rev. W. J. Scott, of Atlanta, filled the pulpit at this church, aud preached a good sermon. Mr. Scott is here as a member of the Board of Visitors to tbe State University, and is well known in Athens, having been stationed here as a preacher some lime since. The following synopsis of sermon is en tirely inadequate to express what was in It He took a* bis text: “1 am the vine, ye are the branches, aud my Father is the buss baodinan.” He went on to say how the branches of a vine must draw their very life from the main vine, and how we draw ourspiritual life from ChrisL There are various kind of branches, two of which might be well considered, vix: unfruitful aud fruitful. These classes existed in the world, and men were fruitful or unfruitful in religion, as they obeyed or disobeyed lhe precepts of Christ Tbe Father was the husbandmao, the Judge of the great harvest, who shall •ay whether lhe branches are fruitful ot unfruitful, aud shall Judge everyone ac- G irding to that Baying of lhe Scrip urea: “By tbeir fruit*, je shall know them.” aTthb prk«bt ferian.

Lei crab one, then, go out to tbe dutlee of aa other week with the presence of Divine gutdauce; bleach one who la la buaincM, work w iih a view to tbe glory of Christ; let each one In instltutiooe ot learning, and preparing for the closing axerctoee, put forth bis whole strength; and let it be according to the language ot Paul when he called himself a MrvauL Thia implies a Ixird by the Holy Gbost.

RICHARDSON WRITE* A BI.A*HIN» LETTER Tbe Tbirrt Party a Pare Whisky Party. I see in the B inner-Watchman that At lanta is about to compromise the discussion on the Whisky question; that Dr. Talmage thinks the disturbance and strife on tbe Whisky issue all grows out of too bad whisky. I have no doubt that all the makers and sellers and whisky-drinking church mem bers, and preachers, will go into the Third Party. I am of tbe opinion that if a man will sell whisky, the raore water be puts in, tbe better both for the seller and buyer. Th* less whisky a man buys, tbe better for him. As to the poison, tbe whisky in its purest state will counteract snake bite, and there are but few things that can beat venom in the way of poison. The more poison mixed in with the whisky poison, the better. Only a very few habitual drunkards ever reform, but die from drink. Why keep a man from year to year lingering under the fearful disease of drunkenness, when be might be killed out of his miseryjn a week, or the same day he gets drunk, like the man over in Madison who died the other day soon after drinking tbe poisont Tbe more poison in the whisky, tbe better. What do tbe people want to keep so many drunkards on hand for al ouoef The fewer, tbe better. The sooner a drunkard dies, the better for bis wife, children and country—for be is only iu tbe way, and a curse to all while be livea. Suppose all the drunkards for the last twenty years were still living, and specially in JAtlanla, no one could live in the city. Let Atlanta, and all other citie*, keep on hand plenty ot bad whisky. It la their hope. It will keep tbe more thought ful from drinking the poison, and kill off tbe drunkards out of tbe way. Mqln keep on band a little pure whisky lor these chuich members and preacher* who are sobjrot to frequent attack* of colic. 1 never knew am in who advocated whisky who did not diiuk. Tbe pure Pro hibition cause is here to stay. Good, pur* whisky, High License—none of those flank moVetneuia, either from press or pulpit, can move tbe true probiblttoniata from tbeir purpose. Whisky in tbia country has a*a* Its day of death and ruin, and th* totter classi* are not lu be switched off by tto bowl that Probildtion don’t prohibit, or good, or bad whisky. It to all poison— only some ha* mure poison than others. 8. P. Hichammon. EELIUIUII IN VSIINA, « R«v Usrargc R. later tells at tto tarlsw uit Owatraw*. Yetrterday afternoon at five o’clock, and last night at La If-past sight, Rev. Georg* R.

The lecture at flv* o'clock yesterday afternoon was to tbe Ju venile Mlaeionary Society, and that laat night was to th* Woman’s Foreign M *- •tawaty flcMtaty.

In dararibtng tbe gods of the Chloe** Mr. Loehr told of tbe rain god; bow they would take him <sut and expose him to th* •an nntll he would send rain, and If b* did not do this, they would whip him. Tbe crowd was * large one last night at tbe church, and tbe singing waa exceed ingly fine. Mis* Eilen Mell deserves much credit tot the tosuliful music.

Griffin, May IL—For some day* it waa thought that no satisfactory agreement could b* arrived at be tween Mr. M. L. Bataa, lb* owner of th* site selected by tbe state sot the Experimental Farm, and tbe com mittee of cltixen* appointed to make the offer of lb* property. Even up to y«*terday il looked a* If Griffin might lose all of ll* good luck and tbe (arm be located elsewhere. At lb* mewling thia morning It waa Agreed to pay Bate* 111,000 leaa 11,000, donated by him and ibal an additional canvas* of lb* county lie made at once, a* lhe amount must he paid to Bates by th* Ist of June, oiberwiae the agreement does not bold. Th* gentlemen comprising th* committee are among the very best in lhe county and seem determined to leave nothing undone to secure the station. It ia thought by m*ny that Mr. Bate* bad no idea. wb*o be consent, ed to sell, that Griffin had any chance al si!, and, now that it ia seated, be ia aorry and would like to back out. That bia farm ia a beauty goes without question. Certainly no more desirable location could prmaibly bar* been chosen by th* authorities. • The committee have about $4,000 to raioe above th* SIO,OOO for the place, making <14.000 in all. and eo far Urey have oaly about SO,OOO la readr money.
