a Snake I'm a Stove.

We learn that gentleman residing in our
town, some few weeks ago, purchased lot
of old condemned seepcrs from the railroad
company, for the purpose Of using them as
fire wood They we're accordingly conveyed
to his residence and sawed il suitable
fcrgths for the steve, and were used as fuel,
and as such gave great satisfaction, until
one evening the good wire placed ore Of the
pieces in the stove, when very strange and
remarkable occurrence happened Shortly
after placing the wood in the stove, her at
tention was attracted by singular noige in
the room, not unlike the crying of child
or the moaning of person in distress, and
upon searching ter the cause oft, ascer-
tained that it proceeded from the stove, and
becoming somewhat alarmed, called in her
husband and acquainted him of the matter.
The gentleman at once advanced to the
stove, and upon opening the door Il strange
and fearful sight met his gaze-right in the
midst of the blazing flames large black
snake writhing in agony and uttcring the
piteous noise which had attracted the at
tention of the lady. The snake slowly
crawled out of the stove and dropped on
the floor yeritable fiery serpent" and
in few seconds expr d. The snake had
doubtless entered cavity Of the sleeper in
the fall, and reapsing into torpid state,
was only aroused when encompassed by the
fame. Hnno,rr (l-enp Spectator.

A Model Radical SOter-Tesff-
mOny In the Contested Seat
Case


Some rich Developments are occurring il
the investigation Of election frauds in De
lano's district, Last week, several days
were spent in taking testimony before 1.-THE
Probate Judge of Licking county, showing
the nature Of Delano's Efforts to secure a
re election and the qualification Of scme Of
his supporters. Que Of these last was an
idiot, named Silas Dbblc, residing in Gran
vile township, where Delano' s friends man
aged to roll up majority of considerably
over 800 votes. Being placed on the wit
ness stand, Dbble gave the following au-
swers to the questions stated
Question Mr.. Dibble, how much DO :

Q-For whom did you vote for Congress
at the Octnher election, iSC6?
A-For Delano.
his is specimen ofthc manner in which
the party which prates so much about intel
lgence as basis of suffrage, attempted to
secure the reelection of Dclano. Here
they bring to their aid the support CT
man who is not only destitute OF intelligence,
but is absolutely an IDIOT A Newark cor
respondent of the Statesman, states that
DbbIe on being led to the polls was taken
into the room with the officers of tie cleo
tion, and that whilst there, his father,
worthy and honest man, interfered and took
his poor imbrcle sonaway; but one of the
Radical mdgts of the election left his place
at the polls, followed after the idiot, brought
him ack, and voted the miserable imbcclle
fer Delano? Iris is not the only case Of
the kird in The district. Still Others are to
ho shown M. aud before the contest is over,
TIE Radicals will hang their heods if they
are rot utterly lost to Ill sense vt shame.
