A DEATH'S HEAD.
We can vouch for tha truth.in substance.
of the follow ing anecdote, as we had it front
tbe lips of live gentleman concerned, who
was then, and is now, an eminent physi-.
cian, and not given to the marvellous
pot addicted to the embellishment ol facts:
It will be reeollected that, in the sum
mer of 1S23, the Yellow Fever appeared
in Natchez, and tn it vicinitv in its most
terrific malignity. The last stage of this
iliseasc is almost invariably attended with
delirium, during which we can speak
from experience, the patient, sometimes
st least, suffers all that we can conceive
of. the torments of the damned not so
much from the consciousness of bodily
pain, but from burning fever of the brain,
which conjures, up scenes the most horri
ble. It was a case like this, at the Hospital,
to which the aid of Dr. - was called
in requisition. Before he arrived, how
ever, the individual was dead. He had
died, like many others, during the panic
uually"atlending this terrible destroyer;
without the attendance even of a nurse.
From the distorted appearance of the face.
the mouth and eyes widely distended like
those of a maniac, it was evident that the
disease (six or seven hours duration) had
been of the most malignant type, and had
terminated" with a high stage of inflam
mation of the brain. The Doctor, then
young in the practice, and who has spar
til no exertion in collecting professional
information,' commenced at once an exa
mination of the body. Before he had con
cluded the dissection, however, his ser
tices were rrquiid at the house of a
planter near Natchez. Determined to
examine the brain oh "the subject, the Dr
levered the head from the trunk, envel
oped it in his handkerchief, and took it
wilh him. It was now dark, and as he
approach d the house of hjs patient, he
was at a loss to determine what to do with
the head. His eye was at length attract
eil hy a hen-coop in. the yard, and there
he made the deposit. Not many minutes
had elapsed before another -messenger ar
rived to beg his immediate aid in another
direction. The Doctor left ihe house with
much haste, and being naturally a tittle
abstracted, forgot the head. The next
morning -however, the Doctor, on visiting
the patient, was discovered by one of the
servants, somewhat surreptitiously peep
ingiuto the hen coop aforesaid. I his led
tf course to an enquiry for the bundle,'
which the Doctor stated he had depositej
there the night-before, anil that it hai
been removed. The negro smiling, some
what significantly, at the idea that the Dr.
Lid made-free with his master's hen coop.
replied that be knew nothing of the bun
die, hut adiled that two turkeys had been
stolen the night belore. And so it ttirnet
rut. The same day the bundle" and
the turkeys were found fide by side in
the corner if a fence about a quarter of a
mile from the house. In consequence of
rain a few hours before the rubbery of the
coup, the ground was soft, ami the negro
concerned in the theft was easily tracked
o n neighboring plantation. Enquiry be
ing immediately made in relation to the
circumstances, the negro, not yet having
rrenvered from his fright, came forward

some taste and even splendor, in a suit

who was in the habit of playing about the
house, situated in the woods at West Har
wich, was heard to utter some distressing

until they became almost extinct. On go
ing to the' child it was found that a black
snake, two feet and a half in length had
wound itself around the child's neck, and
nearly suffocated it. In removing the snake
it was so closely entwined that the skin
was also removed. The child, however,
