Some evidences of good intention is manifested in a boat-load of pipe, which has been landed in that vicinity. Altogether, Terre-Haute is growing "right up," and she ought, too,—situated as she is on the line of the shortest route between the East and the West, and almost equi-distant from the t«o Emporii, Cincinnati and St. Louis.

The forked tongue, the eye, ana symmetrical proportions, are as fully developed, as in the real snake. Unfortunately, the shell of the egg was broken, when it it ws8 discovered that the indenture, on the inside contained what appeared to be a bonafide snake. It was as perfect in every respect as the representation referred to on the shell. It was carefully taken out, and put in a glass vial in spirits, and may be seen at the hotel of Mr. A. J. McCay, in Luray. The snake had no connecton with the vital principle or germ of the egg, but was formed between the membraneous ooveqpg and shell, and was entirely independent
