a large Goitrous Tumor, yvhjch besides great de

and of breathing. Indeed, the says, the pressure
upon the wind-pipe was so great, as to prevent her
from sleei ing in a recumbent position, arid often
suffocation appeared inevitable. She also laboured
under st vere indisposition from Liver Complaint
and Jaundice, with a horrible train of nervous af

which she took regularly for six or seven weeks,
with occasional doses ot his Sanative Pills, and
her general health was thereby completely re-established.

SNAKE BI FES.
As this is the season when we frequently
bear of fatal result from the bite of snakes,
tfe following article from the Burlino-ton
Wisconsin Gazette will not be without in
terest for many of those who live In exposed
situations, and who, in the course of their
business, cannot know at vthal moment they
may require aid to guard them against the
effects of one of the most subtile poisons
that can act upou the human system.
As the rattlesnake is found in no pari of
the world but the continent of America, and
as it possesses severa temarkable neru-
a m
iiarilies, it has frequently been captured,
placed in a cugeand exhibited as a cuiiositv.
1 he exhibitors of this dangerous reptile have
frequently lost their lives by being accident
ly bitten, while others have perished from
the bite, believing that they possessed nn
antidote to the swift circulatrng pen-son
Several years ajjo, one of the keepers of the
New England Museum, in the act of lousing
the den of rattlesnakes, which are there ex
hibited, in connection with the thousand and
one wonders of that establishment, met with
very alarming accident. Having intrej-
duced a feather brush, bv raising the lid
about an inch, and cettinir them sufficiently'
roused lo set their ratiles gtiing like tlie buz
of a cotton factory, a bysfjnder at his
elbow asked him a question which he did
not precisely understand, and turned his
head towards the gentleman and at the
same instant one of the largest snakes ran
his head through the opening, and thrust hi
fangs into the Tittle finger of his right hand,
with such prodiirious force, as to reach the
bone at one of the punctures. I he sufferer
had presence of mind enough to cord the?
finger immediately ; in a short lime an ext i-
mi t I -l .
sion 01 the ilesn, including me wounds, was
made by a physician, who also prescribed a
dose of spirits of turpentine and sweet oil.
Not only the finger but the whole hand
swelled exceedingly, accompanied ith a
Prickling sensation, or, as commonly termed,
Ihe sensation of being asleep.
About eijrht o'clock in the evening, there
was a partial stricture about the lungs, and
difficulty of taking' a free inspiration, togeth
er with the prickling sensation over the
whole system, and an ague fit that gave
fearful indications of a fiee diffusion of the
poison through the circulation. A large
dose of opium relieved the patient of tho
spasm and a continued use of it overcame
the tendency of such paroxysms. An appli
cation of salt and vinegar, constantly applied
to the hand and arm, kept the inflammation
under subjection. Tlie limb was very much
swIJeii be tongue -coated, and a. sliirt
degree of fever existed, but a hnppy recov
ery was accomplished.
We have been particular in the narrati-m
of this case lor the benefit of others hoping
that the mode of treatment so successful,
may he adopted by other sufferers. It should
be recollected that caustic was inserted as
soon as the Hesh was cut nut.
On eine occasion the keeper referred to,
put a rat into the den on purpo.se lo wi'nes
the result. Nearly every snake gave the
affrighted animal a thrust with his fang?.
In about six mnrutes, the rat began to trem
ble violently, and died ins'anlly.
A master millright who was at work on a
saw mill in Sullivan county, New-Yerk,
some yea's ag"o, one day during the dinner
ho ur,ji4 before his men had resumed their
WQrkVJtas sitting alone on one of the floor
tifubers, carelessly swinging his naked foot ;
tie felt something strike it, and on looking
down saw a large rattlesnake in the act of
diving into the brook below. He immediate
ly started for the house, but had gone but a
few jards when a severe pain or spasm
brought him to the ground, ami tendered
himiuc?puble of proceeding; his fries brought
his men to his assistance, who carried him
up to the house- They were all strangers
in that country, which was then a wilderness,
almost without inhabitants, and none knew
what to do to relieve the bitten mail, whose
agony appeared to be extreme when the
spasms were on' which occurred about every
minute, and which he said "struck him from
his foot to hi heart, and would take his life.'
No sweet oil ivas to be hnl in that wilderness
But hog's lard, a'fter melting it till it became
liquid, was .administered,- about two thirds
ot a common sized tea cud full, reneatintr
a r-
the do-e 3s frequently as his stomach would
ret-jin it. In a short time perhaps less than
fifteen minutes, the spasms were less fre
quent and less Mrong thnn they had been,
and in about an hour ceased altogether, and
he was free from pain except , in hi foot.
No other remedy was used internally. All
the outward applications were as folio vs :
Previous to lard lieing administered, and
while getting it ready, his f eot was washed
and examined for the wound, but none could
be found ; there appeared a very slight
scratch, scarcely perceptible on the spot he
pointed out. It was then scarified a little,
with a penkurfe, so as to produce a raw ap-
Jkefrfsnce. tine d the men procured a buck
if a bandage of white ah btrk wa placed
around the limb above the bile, it would not
swell above. This was procured and n liga
ture of it placed above the knee. The bite
was n the top of the foot just above the two
middle toes. '1 he loot was swelled greatly
ana ensngcu io various cuiors, una lie was
deprived of its use for some time :
In the year 1750, a slave in South Caroli
rQdiscovered another remedy for ihe bite of
the rattlesnake, for which the legislature of
the state obtained his freedom, and granted
L Volume 8 Number 439
him one hundred pounds in money. Mis
remedy is as follows :
" Take of the loots of Plant ant or Jfore
hound (in summer, roots and branched togeth
er) a sufficient quantity, bruise them in a
mortar, and squeeze out the juice, of which
give as soon as possible, one large spoonful;
il it Is s. veiled, you must force it down the
throat.' This generally will cure ; but if
the patient finds no relief iu an hour after,
you may give another spoonful, which never
failed. But if tl.e roots are dried, they must
be moistened with a little water. To the
wound may be applied a leaf of gooJ tobac
co, inoi tened with rum."
Since .selecting the above, we' notice a
statement copier! from the M-icon Messenger,
which speaks of alum as a simple and effec
tive remedy for the cure of the bite of the
rattlesnake. A piece of the size of a hickory
nut. dissolved in water, and drank or chewed
and swallowed,, is sufficient. It has been
iried many limes, on men and doge, and they
hive invariably recovered. The writer
says, I know of some planters whose hands
are excised to he bitten by rattlesnakes,
who always have themselves provided with
it in their pockets, and they have sometimes
found use tor it.

" In a leceut let'er from Pete-sburg, I
complimented the patrinti-mt of the Virgiuia
laaies in reierence in a
I ? f
case of sacrifice pro-
posed by one of the fair daughters of that
town. I now wish to b'ing to tho notice of
your render an incident which transpired in
thai town a little prior lo the Revolutionary
war.
One evening a number of ladies (twelve
or fifteen, had accidentally met at n house It
upend a social evening, uud when tea
handed round, one ef the ladies remarked,
th it for one she w mid be willing not to tate
drop often a. long a England should con
tinue to oppress them by heavy taxation, &C.
This, proposition was unanimously responded
to. Iho tea wa thrown overborad, (as at
Boston) and resolution were passed tint to"
touch the article until the grievances com
plained of should be renewed. Some years
since, Vile Conimodore Rogers was on ft

ing,'' figure f ll th Jut lies were there,
and also n eh'-fl of tea. The Commo-
dor whs delighted iu meeting w if hlh is re
membra nre of other day, nud purchased it.-
He brought it to Washington, and the citi
zens OfEdenton, through one of ihe number,
addressed a letter to the proper department
at Washington asking for it for their low nr.
This request was promptly complied with
But the painting suhsequedtly became bro
ken, much to the regret of the citizens.
This painting is supposed lo h-ive be err
taken by an English officer as a caricature
of the meeting, and yet, though taken as a
burle-que, faithfully represented the parties'
concerned even the countenances of some
of ihe ladies could be distinguished. One of
the number, Mr Sarah Morgan and the last
survivor of this tea meeting," died a few
years since, aged 88. This meeting is sup
posed lo have been some months previous
to the throwing the tea overboard at Boston.
During the Revolutioniry war the Rritish
enteied the hat hour after nightfall, on one
occasion, captu'ed several sail of vessels and
made piisoners of those found on board.
On the next morning, the vessels being miss
ed, the citizens fitteil oui a vessel, (manned-
by officers and seamen then in port, com
manded by Capt Nehemiah Bateman.) and
made chase down the 3ound after them.
They were overtaken, captured, and brought
into port, and among them wa the officer
who drew the ' tea party" caricature. This
incident of the Revolution has never before
appeared in print."
