TwogcnUemen of this city went
down to Neusc river recently, fishing.
They stayed all night! After supper
they lit their pipes, baited their hooka
and -.truck-the ends of their Hes
in the bank of the rirerA after which
they threw themselves on the grass
to have a quiet smoke and chat. The
conversation turned -on snakes. Said
one who pretended not to .-. be afraid
of snakes, "I tell you,.Ib, (We will
call one Bob and the other Jim), there
Jssomcoftheall-firedest,durudest,big-
gestsnakes around here you ever saw.
I saw one here once that jwas as large
iis the largest part of my thigh, and
they told me he was small to.S'ime of
them. iSuppose oue of them waato
come crawlins along hefe nQtrytriiat
wnnbl von do ?" Just then a rustle
in the leaves was heard and when
Bob turned to see from whence came
the noise. Jim quietly slipped up and
stuck jT pin about half way up in
Bob's leg. That waa eiioogli. witn a
m . a
veil and a bound that ; would have
urpriaed a Comanche Indian, he
exclaimed: "Great God, Jim, Lift
snake bitten. I saw him just before he
struck, and '.xe was as big as my body.
Oh, Lord, what shall I do. Ami there
i not n lron of whisk v in five, miles
of here."
Inr the meantime, Jim was rolling
and tumbling on the ground fairly
bursting his buttons with laughter
Bob soon saw the point, and felt it
i too, we expect, and quieted down.
About 12 o'clock that night they
were attending to their hooks, am
chatting as il there wasn't a shake in
fortv miles of the place. Bob saw
.- .i ,
his chance. With a little willow stick
-he crept up behind Jim, and while he
was "trying to stick the end of the
pole in the bank of the river he wig
gled the stick in between Jim's legs
And exclaimed : ;
"Look out Jim, there's a snake."
Jim saw it, and with a yell he

A Terrain u Farm.
The Mobile (Ala.) Register has the
following'' account of a terrapin farm
o,wned by Mlford. Dorlon -at Cedar
Point : This projection, of land is on
the western shore of Mobile. Pay
about thirty miles below this city, am
is inhabited principally by oystermen
who reap golden harvests from the
many beds which furnislil nearly eve
fy vster brought to Mobile. Mr
Darlon, who keeps a store at this point
lias about three acres fenced in with
strong pilings. Leading to this in
closure are two canals, one on the bay
side and the other on the gulf side
which supply with salt water a number
of ditches ten feet wide and lOQtee
long. -The sand accumulating from
the excavation of these- ditches is
thrown on each side, and used by-tb
-terrapins to sun themselves and lay
their egg3 inf which, if counted won!

they stay until spring time, never
touching a morsel of food. A system
of sluices enables Mr. Dorlon to keep
the ditches full of salt water, or drain
them at pleasure, and he is not at all
dependent on the tide for that pur
pose. ' -
The number of terrapins on the
farm, as far as can be ascertained by the
. closet calculation, is between 20,000
nnd25,000,and in the course of the next
three or four years wiU be something
- bard to calculate. About; May 1 , Mr,
Dorlon makes his purchaseof terrapins

hbout 8,000 a year added to his farm,
butside of those bred therein. The
Inliabitantsof Mississippi and Ala
bama hunt the tcrrapius with dogs
trained for that purpose. The dog
barks when he finds 6ne, and the
hnnter immediately secures it by go
ing to the spot where the dog points.

vhich, as we have said, is only done

Something About Oar Minerals and
Precious Stones.
A copy of an advance sheet of
State Geologist, Kerr's, renort 11 non
the minerals of' North Carolina has
been seen in the city. Besides many
new and interesting item of general
information it gives some fact about
our own section which are interesting,
It is Gathered that the number
v
of mineral species noy known to
have been discovered in this State is
1 78, hil increase of "38, or more than
25 per cent, since 1875, when only
140 could be enumerated. This is
stated to be a greater number than
has been discovered in any other
State ; and if there had been means
to-make a complete investigation ot
all the materials in hand, the nam-
her would probably fall little short
of 200. ' , j
A Dumber 'of the new minerals
were discovered by Mr. Y E. Hid
den, of New York, who it will be
remerabered visited this city at differ
ent tiroes last; year, in his search for
platintini for Etlisbn's electric light.
It was during ' tlii search that the
discoveries were made"; and his report
of them, which is " embraced in the
work, he says t "Iu regard to the suc
cess of my search for platinum, I
will state that at the many places
where I operated, I did not succeed
in finding any traces of its existence.
The five reported localities in this
State were carefully examined with
out succesj."H 1 -
