About half a mile north from the village isa mountain, composed principally of a ledge of rocks, noted as the habitation of almost all sorts of snakes common to this region. There they congregate in the autumn—the rattlesnake, the black snake, the striped snake—aud I know not how many other kinds—-aud ‘Jie down, like lion and the lamb ia Scripture, to- gether. It wasa custom to goout on this moun- tain, in the spring time, and kill the serpents, when, ‘in the first warm sunny days, they crawled out of the orevices in tie rocks. Mr. Parke says that he has of- ten caught the raitlesnakes in hiy bare hands, not even using the precaution of gloves. Muny years ‘ago @ man named Belden wastamous us 4 snake hunter. Of a sudden he was missing. Days passed and no tidings came to his stricken family of the lost man. Finally he was found dead, ‘ying near the snakes’ den, his hull decomposed body covered with rattiesnukes, cut up in pieces, which i¢ was eS egr he had laid ou to the bites that he had re- ceived, t the hope that, in accordance with a pre- valent opinion, would extract the poison. An of mau wio lives in the village, says that se- veral years ago he saw a rattlesnakekill a woo d- chuck, an @:imal lurger round the body than a cat. The snake commenced swallowing hun—of course without mastication—and at the end of nine days the process of deglution was complete; the elastic stomach and body of the reptile having expanded in that length of time sulticiently to contain a sub- sance many times larger than its own ordinary di- mensions. 1 once killed a mottied watersnake, in form quite similar to the rattlesnake, and from a sack in its body emerged thirty-five young ones. I recollect, too, when a boy, finding a striped snake one day, when in company with my brother, just as its young were running down its throat. ‘Those inside and out, to- , numbered thirty-two.

A lady at present ,residing here, tells me that a cousin of her's, a young lady, who was teaching school at the West, received some extraordinary at- tentions from a large black snake. She walked about a mile to the school house, which was situated in rather a secluded spot by the roadside. Every day @t the close of echoul, the snake would come out from his biding place, a few rods from the school bouse, and as the teacher passed he would join her, and follow at a short distance behind her until she almost home. The next morning, as she was on er way to school, ut the spot where he turned off aud lcit her the evening previous, he would again Be gp etna regularly follow her to the ‘ture, near the school howe.

Gay-vome party is on the river. They are church and Sunday school societies, got up ostensibly to give the children an airing on the ‘water during » pleasant day. A small steamer and two'or threv freight barges are chartered—the latter intended to accommodate the party, at twenty-five or fifty cents a passage. Each family, and some- times two or three, join together, furnish their own provender, such as bread, butter, cheese, cooked meats, ples, cakes, and other etceteras of an innocent, palatable quality. The veasels proceed some twenty miles down the Hudson river, near the village of Coxsackie, where the party step ashore into a plea- sant grove, open their baskets and carpet bags, re- cline a ¢« Turk upon the grass, under the awning of the thick forest leaves, and partake of their variety of refreshments. The ministers, elders, Sunday school teachers, and other pillars of the church are always indispensably preseut. With them and their female companions the freedom of the picnic ix universal; indeed, the parties who are honored mostly with their presence and their appetite are rendered the happier. There, however, is generally no distinction among the society on. these happy The minister is as well pleased in conversa- tion with sister Lucy, of very recent conversion, ag with Dame Deborah, o mother in Israel—the rollick- ing, frolicksome dainsel, casting sheep's eyes over her shoulder, attracts the attention of the venerable deacons, with gayer countenances and lighter hearts, than the sober, sedate haudmaida who are con- stantly watching aud praying and sighing over their manifold sins. And whilst the older class of mothers and fathers are gathered im groups, thanking &@ merciful Providence for supplying thein with such fine weather and exhilirating mountain air, the youn converts, in pairs, generally agreeably well inated, are seated upon little hillocks in the rear ground, over the knoll, or in the ravine, near the silvery gurgling rivulet, pouring into each other’s ears and eyes the most convincing reasons why their two hearts be cast into Cupid’s erucivie aud melted into one. The children of smaller growth, not afflicted with the pulpitating hearts as yet of their older brothers and sisters, nor care- worn concerning a future existence, are employed in skipping, gamboling and frolicking around and among the underbush, in the valleys ou the hillocks, with the buoyancy of a balloon, aud the igility of a deer. As no other thoughts enter their chil minds, except the occasion and the day, these Sunday school children return to their homes at twilighi, with renewed health, revived spirits, cheerful hearts, and enough to talk about until the next annual ex- cursion and picnic comes around. But these healthful and lauduble entertainments are ouly enjoyed by the children and iamilies of the middling class of society, those belouging to or aa- similating with the Methodists and Baptists. These cheap excursions for a day are got up by the lead- ing members for the benetit of the poor portion of their congregations. There are uo other means within their power of having a single day of recrea- tion, during the hot summer months, and with only one in the season they ure ubundautly content. The other societies, the Episcopaliun, Presbyterian, and Reformed Dutch, never think of treating the rer members of their so- cieties to any such entertainment, uor auy at all During the dog days, running into some six or eight weeks, most of their clergyuien are ia the couutry, at Saratoga, Lake George, Niagara, or at the bathe ing places on the sea coast. ‘I'wo-thirds of the dea cous and ruling disciples are of!’ with their fa:nilies during the same time, and their churches remain closed during the “hot season.’ he poor of such socicties are left all the while without the “ bread of life;” and any be known to euter avy other church, or enjoy a picnic in company wita cue poor bo a and Methodists, a severe reprimand, and perhaps an ex ion to the “outer teinple” for a season, would hkely be the consequence. Whilst the weather remains clear, warm and plea sant, it is hoped these entertainments may be cou- tinued. They are conducive to the healt of the body, invigorating to the constitution, refreshing to the’ mind, and congenial with nature.

The Capital of the State—Its Public Buildings— The Vicksburg and Brandon Railroad—Cooper's Wella—Remartable Dream—A Southern Water- ing Place, &c. Compelled by circumstances to be a sojourner in this delightful portion of Mississippi, aud having some little leisure at my command, I have thought shurried sketch of some of the more prominent characteristics of this county would not be an alto- gether unacceptable contribution to the HeraLp and without interest to its thousands of readera. The location of Hinds is central, and it ranks de- gervedly high among the other counties of the State —whether reference is had to the fertility of the evil, salubrity of the climate, or the general intelli gence of the citizens, Jackson, the capital of the State, an improving, business place, is located in this county. The State Honse, occupying a beauti- ful eminence, handsomely ornamented with walks, trees and sward, and inclosed by a neat iron paling, presents a commanding appearance, and greets the vision from every part of gpe city. The City Hall— a large, commodious building—is now under- going thorough repairs, and when completed will be one of the handsomest ornaments of the city. The Executive mansion, deligntful- ly situated in a charming grove of graceful shade trees, is one of the few costly buildings of which Jackson can boast, and a tit dwelling for the Governor of a great State. Four or live newspapers, all edited with considerable ability and enjoying a liberal patronage, are published here; some of thei are standard authorities with the partisaa press in diferent parts of the Union on the respective sides in politics which they espouse. The citizens of Jack- son enjoy a high reputation for hospitality aad « dae regard ior those amenitics and courtesies sv exsentiad to social enjoyment; indeed, it is a matter of doabt whether more brilliaucy, talent and relinement are embraced within the social circle of any place uf equal size. At this writing Jackson is dependant, for transportation facilities, upon the Vicksvurg aud Brandon Railroad, with the prospect of still greater when the New Orleans and Jackson road reaches that point, which it will doubtless do at some futare day. Senator Brown is at this time lending his powerful aid to that Anportant enterprise, making speeches along the line, enlisting the peuple in its favor and getting subscriptions to it. It is said he meets with the most grutifying success every- where. A part of his plan is to get the counties interested in its cowpletion to submit to it seems beginning Jackson and Canton Railroad, some thirty miles Tong, which will be ready early in the fall to trans we, produce, a¢., and will add also to the facilities of the State Cepital, ‘This is intended an extension of the grcat Jackson aud New Ur- Railroad, and tape & seution of country rich ia all elements of trailic. he leading denowina- tions of Christians have churches here, aaple and aes which ae tilled upou each returuing Sabbath with large and attentive vongregations.

A man about lorty-five years of age, tamed Patten, was brought up, charged with deserting his family, bis wife appearing as the com- plainant. The family consisted of the wile and threc children, one anintant. The wiie stated tiat Patten bad left her without support, and wus co- habiting with another ‘emale, somewhat her junior. Patten did uot deny that he had ceased to live with his wife, aud had taken to his bosom another womsu; bvt he attempted to show that his conduct had been proper. He then went on to state that many years since—when first married—he and his wite lived to- gether in Barents because their views on spiritual mutters coincided. He said, when the Second Ad- vent doctrine-—which the vulgar called Millerism— was preached, he and his wile both embraced the taith of the Saviour. In later years, he became con- vinced that the seventh instead of the first day of the week was the Sabbath, and on this poiat his wite harmonized, and all went on smoothly. About a year ago, a question came up as to the re surrection, and on this point they couid not agree. He concluded, after closely consulting hia Bible, that the resurrection was only @ spiritual one. His wife insieted that the body was to be raised also. Here there was an irreconcilable difference, and one that Patten thonght was sufficient to lead to a sepa- tution. He said that he could not live with a wo- man who did not harmonize with him in his views on spiritual matters, and had, therefore, forsaken his wife, and found a female who thought as he did ou this point. Here the wife, who had listeued to his statement very patiently. interrupted bim, b; saying that she ght the newly found female, agreed with him quite as well on carnal as on spirit- ual mattera. Patten said that could not be shown by evidence, and went on with hi# narrative, concluding by as- serting that there must be harmony on 4; things between man and wife to enable them to live ea He said he would not iive with a woman who did not think as he did on religious ‘The magistrate him to give for maintenance of his aud children, and threatened pin Ft) another mae _ paneieeat it heeviolaved w in order vein “spiritual harmony” with @ woman not hiv wife. “ Lier or Tax Drap ar Porrsuovrs FOLK.—The ue of the Peterseaty ee and Norfolk: Mra Capt.
