In another column of to-day's issue we give an account of several instances of marked and wanton cruelty to animals. Two of them occurred in this county and are worthy the attention of the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. There is a penalty for these offences and such studied heartlessness should receive its just punishment. We have more charity for the burglar, the pickpocket, or even a man who commits murder, in the heat of passion, than for the wretch who can deliberately and wantonly torture a dumb animal. In the case of such an offender we would be willing to sanction the punishment prescribed under the Mosaic law of retaliation. A few examples under such a cod would soon put an end to these outrages.

A few days ago, Mrs. Hannah Matlack, wife of John K. Matlack, residing in West Nantmeal, Chester county, was attacked by a snake of the viper species, which circumstance, to the lady, was quite alarming in its character. She was sitting on the front porch of the dwelling when the dangerous reptile sprang from the ceiling of the porch down upon her shoulder, but failing to fasten itself upon the lady, it fell to the floor. The alarmed woman sprang from her chair and called some member of the household to her assistance, but before any one reached her the viper had made his escape by gliding under the porch floor.
There is considerable shrubbery and climbing vines about the front of the building, and it is supposed that the snake gained access to the top of the porch by crawling up the vines. In the porch ceiling there is an opening made by the plaster falling off and from this place the unwelcome visitor made his descent upon Mrs. Matlack.
There have been a number of these reptiles seen in the neighborhood lately, and their presence is the subject of much comment and alarm among the people residing in that locality.
