4 Female Laeysr lady by the name of Bradstreet has for some years beea prosecuting claims for lstld ,a the tio.ssh- borhood of Utlca, N. Y. with a zeal and ] ability which have won for her admiration 1 of the disinterested and the dread of the occupants of the property in dispute. She claims in right Of her grandfather, who held under grants, from the proprietary government. The estates are of great value, and embrace many of the most beautiful seats, ln and around the place above named. For many years she and her daughter occupied d hut on some of the wild lands comprised in the grants of her grandfather, with a view of retaining their legal possession. While thus situated their sufferngs were. great, as the neiehbors in order 10 rid themselves of such unwelcome residents, refused to sell them even the common Becessaf,es of fife. Indeed, ii Is said that their lives were frequently threat- ened, and more than once the humble do- micil was fired upon with the view of rousting theni Driven to the utmost ex- tremiiy, she offered to compromise the en- tire claim for $30,000; her proposition be- ing rejected, she presevered, and being too indigent to employ counsel, she prosecuted her suits herself, arguing dry law points before courts and juries, with a force and ingenuity which excited the admiration and wonder of bench and bar Her efforts have at last been successful; and uow, for soeth, the persons in possession, have of- fered much larger sum in the way of con- promise, than they had scornfnlly rejected, but she in her turn has spurned the tender, determined to trust to the justice of her cause and skill in the law, to assert and vindicate her rights. s.-Resistanc to what she conceived to be justly her due, the op- pression of those who withheld her prop. erty from her, and the indemitable courage of woman's heart, have made her not on ly a successful suitor, but profound eject ment lawyer and special pleader. The pleading in the various cases are said to be drawn up by herself, and to eyince per- feet knowledge of all the forms and intri- cacies of the most difficult art.

 The entire property claimed by her is said 10 be worth one million of dollars.

 The Rattle Snake finds superior foe in the deer and black snake. Whenever d buck discovers rattle snake in a situation which invites attack, he loses no time in preparing for battle. He make upto within Q or 12 feet of the snake-then leaps for ward and aims to sever the body of the snake with his sharp bifurcated hoofs. The frs, onset is most commonly success ful, but if otherwise, the buck repeats the trial until iie cuts tho snake iii twaiIi ,Fh lie rapidity and fatality of his skilful maneu- yre leave but slight chance for it's victim either to escape or to inject its poison into- his more alerI antagonist. The black snake Is also more than equal competi- tor against the rattle snake. Such is its celerity of motion not only ia running, but
