Dite Of The Rdttlesnake.- acquaint-
ance some weeks since related the following
particulars, which are published for the pur-
/ pose Of giving more extensive knowledge
OF the facts;---


Travelling some years since in the interior
of Pennsylvania, i'll company with a young
man in the dusk of approaching night, his
companion was bitten, OF struck, by IL rattle
snake, in two places near the ankle; having
shortly before heard of the efficacy Of Tobacco
applications to the wounds of Il person who
had been struck by one OF them, and whose
case had almost become hopeless, but was
thus relieved and cured; he applied at the
| first dwelling they came to for tobacco the
poison by this time began to manifest itself,
and excite pain and inflammation in the parts
near the wounds.--rhe tobacco was wet
applied to the wounds, and soon produced
relief and conposure in the system--ano-
ther application was made, and by the next
morning every appearance OF bad effects
from the bite, was entirely disspated and
gone. They went to the spot next morning,
where they supposed they had killed the
snake--he was found dead, was full grown
and with a number Of rattles


| Good .fdpice.-I'he last Dover Gazette
SAYS that one of the reverend gentlemen of
that town, in the course of Fast-day SER
mon, gave the following excellent piece of
advice.


.sIf" said the preacher, "the young gem
tlemen were more frequently to mingle with
the virtuous young ladies of the town, IN
stead of lowering around grog shops and
gaming tables; it would, in time have a ben
eficial tendency in weaving them from many
of their vicious PRACTICES and thereby rem
der them more respectable members of So
ciety."


! we have before, more than once, had oc-
casion to notice, among the unworthy strata
1 gems of the opposition, that of endeavoring to
disturb the harmony and confidence mutual
I ly subsisting among the members Of the ad-
mnistration, by promulgating reports that
this or that one WAS to vacate his seat in the
cabinet by accepting some other oppont-
mcnt. Thus it was at one time lndustrlously
reported, that Mr.. Southland was to be trans
ferred from the Navy Department to the
Bench of the Supreme Court: at another
time, that Mr.. Rush was to be removed from
the Treasury, and made Collector of the
port Of Philadelphia: no7v, the rumor is, that
the War Department is to be made vacant
by appointing Governor Barbour to succeed
Mr.. King, who, it is known, in coming home,
as minister at the Court of Great Britain.
| This rumor, we believe, is yet confined to
thelttle private circles and political coteries
of Washington, but it will, no doubt, like
those which have proceeded it, soon find its
way into the public papers, and like them
be siezed upon by the opposition presses, as
overwhelming evidence that the admnistra-
tion is held together by a rope of sand We
forew those presses that there is no toun-
dation whatever for the rumor. We choose
to nip it thus in the bud, that the people
may sec, should it be persisted in, that it is
not for want of correct information that the
opposition resort to fabricatons, for the pur-
pose of sowing dissensions in the Executive
Council. There never was cabinet, we
will venture to say, in which more sincerity
of mutual respect and confidence prevailed,
than in that of Mr.. Adams He is not only
satisfied with them, but they are satisfied
with him; and no desire exists on either part
to make the changes which have been SO OF
ten rumored as in contemplation.


Mar. Journah


Some time since, a person on his travels
through Coventry, in the state of Connect
cut, stopped at the house of the Rev. Joseph
Huntington, ID. d. and acquainted the doctor,
that he had been preaching at Susquehannah
for a considerable time, but was so unfortu-
nate as to be driven from his posses
sions by the Indians, who had destroyed his
property. He added that he was on his way
to Massachusetts,, where he had some
friends, and asked charity ofthe doctor.


The latter was liberal and hospitable to
the stranger, and told him as it was Saturday
and it would be improper for him to travel
