of the vital principle in resisting, in some extent, the solvent power of the gastric fluids.

Having assumed this hypothesis as proba­ble, they next proceeded to act upon it.— They rejected1 all medicines, very properly concluding that if\tbe vital principle could resist the solvent power of the stomach, it would resist the action, ojf any-substances' whiph th'e.ftomach.was abl,e to bear;.and concluding also that as powerful medicines

\ had already failed, it was not-philosophical I to repeat them. .;..,,„.,.

They ordered entire abstinence froni* 3\l food: and accordingly the patient took none for five days. During this period, the pain in the stomach wasexcrutiating, and the mo­tion violent, resembling that of a spiral rev­olution of a rope on a cylandcr. The pain becoming too intense to bear, for the patient was in a raving delerium, the physicians sug­gested that opium might act upon the nerves of the stomach without affecting the animal if it were one, and that in search of food, it might forcejits way through the cesophagu. This was tried and with success—the patient being thrown into a disturbed sleep, while the motion in the stomach increased in vio­lence. . He was then held in a recumbent po­sition with the face downward, and the body inclined to an angle of 45 degrees, the head

ting lowest.

In about ten minutes the cause ot the dif­ficulty was manifest. A snake of dark brown color, and targe size, protruded full eight in­ches from the mouth, with its eyes bright and glariogjrarith every manifestation of rage.— One of the physicians immediately ap'vr.oA it

(From the Philadelphia Public L«Ig*r.) MONSTROUS SNAKE STORY.

Our readers'will propably recollect that some weeks since, we gave an account of an extraordinary case in Cailowhill street, in this city, of a living snake existing in the stomach of a man. When about fifteen years of age, he stopped to drink at a spring in a field, and while drinking, fell a sensation re­sembling that produced by a solid substance gliding down his thraat. Il caused no pain or uneasiness at the ttaWi aSd'Ae supposed it to be a bit of grass or sonj/tfoiher harmless substance. About six Week afterwards, he felt a singular sensation in the stomach, re­sembling the movements of a living animal, and sometimes attended with unpleasant ir­ritation or titillatinn, especially just before meals, and when he had been a long time without food. Immediately and for several hours after a full meal, all unpleasant sen­sations subsided. These symptoms contin­ued to increase, till the thirty-fifthyea'r of the patient, which he has recently completed ; he suffering almost constant uneasiness, and soraetimas excruciating paio. Hjs appetile was very irregular, being sometimes so small that he would not consume more than an oonce of solid food daily for a week ; and at other times he was so voracious, that be would eat five pounds of beef daily for a month.

One remarkable symptom was that during these periods of abstemiousness.'be gained flesh at the rate of ten pounds weekly, and during the periods of voracity, ho losrth still greater degree, and was sometimes exceed­ingly emaciated. While gaining flesh tinder this loss of appetite his pulse was irregular, the digestive organs were much deranged, his sleep disturbed and sometimes entirely suspended for forty-eight hours. He suffer­ed severely from paio In tBe ocoipal region of the head, in the shoulder blades, the

two feet struggling most violently, nlnd emit­ting tremendous shocks of electricity. Two of the attending physiciaft who accidentally touched it in the struggle were knocked down. It was now found that the electric shocks would destroy the patient, and it was furthermore ascertained that, from its size, it could not be drawn out without imminent danger of rupturing the oesophagus. But fertile in experiments, they suggested a new plan ; which was to suffer the reptile tp come out a3 far as possible, then with a sharp in­strument to sever the-head, and to extract the body, by an incision into the stomach. . In about an hour it again appeared ; the

patient all the while being insensible fiom the effects oT opium, aided, perhaps by the electric shock of the reptile It protruded about two feet, and with a sharp hatchet, prepared for the purpose, it was suddenly di­vided about 1? inches from the .head. The lower part suddenly disappeared within the stomach, exhibiting violent emotions about two minutes. An incision was then made, and the fragment was extracted. t It proved to be a conger-eel, of the electric species, 4 feet long and 3 inches in diameter.

All unpleasant symptoms have since dis­appeared, tbo wound in the stomach is heal­ing rapidly, and the patient is recovering his strength.

[One juror only was set aside in form'mg this pannel, and his withdrawal wasmutnalA

Mr. CHANDLER opened the cause for the People. He alluded to-the importance of the cause,, and the great excitement which it has produced. He assured the jury that the cause on the part of the prosecution, should be conducted wilh perfect simplicity, and in the ordinary manner. Ife wished the jury so to consider it, and so to receive tbe testi­mony. From the extent of the excitement which the cause bad produced, it was natur­al that impressions might have, been imper­ceptibly formed by all, but he was happy fo know that there had been twelvemen select­ed who were unbiased, and before the ver­dict should be formed, he expected to show lhat.the prisoner, last summer, had forward­ed three promissory notes to Mr. Evans, fil­led up and bearing date 3d of April, 1836, purporting to be genuine, and which are en­dorsed by eleven persons each. In the let­ter there were three other notes, in blank, for tbe like amount of those before mention­ed—which notes he requested Mr. E: to fill up, and receive the three which were endors­ed as security for those which he was io fill up. The prisoner requested Mr. E, to lay the three endorsed notes in his private desk. As a reason for this request the prisoner re-marked that they were procured for a pri­vate purpose; and if it was known he had made use of them fot the purpose he hnd done.the indorscrs might be offended. These were tbe simple facts which he hoped to show.

David E. Evans was then sworn for the prosecution. Witness saw Benjamin Rath-bun in Batavia in April of 1830, about the 5,th,of the month ; he then stated he was go­ing to .Jfew-York; on the 20th of April he received"a'letter from him, which contained three notes which were signed and t.'.ree which were not signed; these notes were shown witness, which he recognized : th ey were tbe notes which were sent for him to sign. The letter referred to was then read, and is as follows: Confidential.

At other times he fell, but recovered imme­diately, though always with prostration of strength for some'hours afterwards.—The-sensation, as he described it, was that of a violent blow within the stomach, and-very much like tbaf produced by an electric shock except being more local.

PEOPLE rATTBwep BT FI.OGOING.—Vari­ous experiments, in addition to abotterdiet, have been resortedto in order to restore lean persons td a better case ; but amongst the most singular is that of flagellation. Galen says, that horse dealers having been obser­ved to fatten horses for sale, by flogging them; an analogous method might be useful with spare persons who wished to become stouter. He also menfionsslavedeale^Sk who employ­ed similar means. Suetonius informs us that Mnsa, the favorite physician of Augus­tus, used to fustigate him, not only to cure bim of a sciatica, but to keep htm plump. Meboratug pretends (hat nurses whip little children fo_fetten. thern, that rfley may ap* pr-nr healthy and chubby to their mothers. No donbt but flagellation determines a great­er influx o( blood to the surface and- may thus tend to increase, tbe circulation,' and give tone to parts which would .otherwise be languid. With this intention whipping with nettles has been frequently used, in medical practice, wilh great advantage. Xenophon thawed his/rozen soldiers by flagellation.

We understand, says-lhe' Richmond En­quirer, that the family of tbe illustrious Mad­ison are preparing for the press five or six volumes oi his MSS—Une volume is to be devoted to Constitutional doctrines—and the others to his Interesting Porresppndence;— These are, ofcourso, exclusiveo.f, his reports o'f the old Congress, and o f the Federal Conventionj/for the pu^pp/re of which the last Congress have appropriated $30,000.
