Remits of prey are unknown in Mada gascar; hut the rivers abound in alliga tors, aud scorpions are extremely proline, moieespecially at Beinhatooka, which Lieuteiidaut Bnteler had an opmrtunity of ascertaining, by accidentally displa cing a largo stone nn the -declivity of a . projecting point, a little above high-water mark" A blark s'corplou. live inches in length, was coiled up uuilenieath. 'butin so lethargic a Mule, that, although when touched with a stick it resented the attack by slinging with its tail; yet it would not change its ponitiou until repeatedly irrita ted in the same way. lie afterwards re moved several other stones, most of which were found with one or more of these venomous reptiles beneath. It is not per haps generally known lhut the mowt des tructive enemy to these reptiles la the common mouse. They never meet with out a contest, which almost universally terminates in fuv.tr of our little domestic annoyance, who, either by force of arms or slratsgem, contrives to destroy his euemy. This bo does by irritating the scorpion with his cnustaut aud agile attacks, until the reptile becomes so fatigued as to bean easy prey, or to become, as some suppoac, his own executioner. Licuteiiatit Jones audDr. Gu'snd landed on the Island of Rattnw with their guns, aud In a very short time returned witli several birds of different kinds and a large serpent, of the boa constrictor species, which they sud denly encountered whilst walking through the guugle. When first seen it was scarcely five yards distant, and, cither frightened or Irritated at being disturbed, i. assumed a most menacing altitude, its bright ryes glaring with fury, oud coiling itself up, as if preparing to spring on Dr. (iuland,whohapieued tob In advance. But that gentleman, before the monster had It me to iiccomplhdt his purpose, lodged the contents of his guu In its head The wound was fatal, and. after Uniting with Its tail the surrounding bushes and grass for a few tniuules, the huge reptile expired. It measured twelve feet iu ength, and the thickest part of Its body was nine inches round- About half-way do n the stomach was distended far be. yond its usual sine, which appeared evi dently to proceed fioni something it had devoured. On examination a young springbok, about the sly of a cat, was extracted In a perfect state, with the ex ception of a small portion of the head, ujiou which tbe monster's digestive or gaus had begun lo act The last time the doctor had visited this Island he was viionuutered by a crocodile about eight feet In length.

In jiffy the animal had tore oft Pringle upper clothing, and was gnawing at his throat, which was fortnnately protected by severa' folds of a thick handkerchief, ! anil tlieaniuiitl'a teeth being very long, prevented him from opening his mouth wide enough to get a good hold. A strug gle ensued, but Pringle could not get rid of his awotilnut until he (Pringle) tipped aud fell on hisslde, when as he lay Ik; caught the balnain by the throat wllll his right hand, and succeeled iu getting him under. . He theri seized a stone aud haltered (tie animal's heud until life wasexlinct. For tunately for him the remaining three held aloof, or the couequemes might havebeen very serious. Mr. Pringle, who is a strong and active man, standing several inches over six feet in his stock ings, tells us he has several tinted had to struggle hard with a strong man, but he never had a tougher job than lo master thai baboon. These aninntbt are very des tructive, and do great damage to lands and gardens. Mr. Moolmau of Zaaifoii lein, Hantain, hud a fine lot of water melons, which he intended to bring to market. When he went to pick I hem, he fottnd that the halioous had beeu liefore til in aud had scooped out the pulp of every ripe melon on the land. m a a DALD MOUNTAIN. There arenosignsof volcanic action in any of these mountains, but the North CaroliiiiHim are praying night and day for au eruption- They say that It wouldn't khurt anybody aud would be great help lo the State. .The excitement four yeaf ago wa the signal for a general religious revival. Two brothers, William and Geo. Logan, owned much land in the vicinity of the mountain. George was a judge, and both are ohurcli members. The moun tain, it in said, shook quite lively duri.tg a quarterly meeting- Thereupon William fell upon his knee and fervently prayed forth mountain to be still. The judge followed him with a heartfelt petition to tbe Throne of Grace. He prayed that the mountain might shake, and shake longer and stronger, until all the sinners weie shaken to repentance. The Great Ourtof Appeal heard thejudge's argument and decided In his favor; for It Is said the mountain began to quake ami roar like Musi, and ail the tiara cases in the range were converted.

A pall of gloom to-day overspreads this city. About eleven o'clock last night Mrs. Thompson, a widow of about tiny years, deliberately killed her daughter while she lay sleeping tubed, and then killed herself. The weapon used was a rasor. Mrs. Lawsou, an elderly (laughter, occupied rooms ad juceut.atid hearing strange sounds In her mother's room, hastened thither, to mid the mother and Ihe daughter weltering In their blood.
