Nessrs Sneider and Reed have removed their
mill to the head of Wild Horse creek, about

mill up on the head Of Pine creek, and Mr.. Young
has brought the machinery Of his mill down
from the Columbia river and intends to reset it at

company to the upper Columbia year or two
ago, to be used in pumping water on to min.

munerative, Mr.. Young proposes to set the mill
to work at its old business.

SALARIES OF COUNTY OFFIcERs.-The Salaries
Of the county officers of this county fall far be-
low the figures at which the people generally
estimate them. We have obtained the following
from the officers themselves, and the correctness
of their estimates certainly can not be dis
puted
The Sheriffs income is about So, 900 per year
perhaps little more or little less-and is
governed by the amount of delinquent taxes to
be collected, upon which be receives ten per cent
for collecting.
The Treasurer's per cent. amounts to from
$500 to 81 900 per annum in greenbacks, and
varies, of course, according to the amount Of
taxes collected.
The Auditors fees amount to about 81 500
Per aunum. The income will not exceed that
sum.
The Probate Judges fees reach from $500 TO
600 in greenbacks per aunum.
The Sheriffs income, it will be seen, is double
wat Of any Of the others but 1t must be borne
70 MUD that this sum has to be divided between
we W. Sheriff and deputy, and that there are
S'oet expenses attached to the ofice-such as

was some distance off, attempted to follow. The
little fellow reached the middle of plank, which
crossed the creek, and fell in, and before any
one could get to his assistance he was carried

place at the roulette table, and had
not stakcd more than once or twice
when two handsomely dressed ladies
placed themselves one on each side of
me, and commenced playing with the
smallest coins allowed, wedging me
In rather unpleasantly close between
them. At my third or fourth stake
Iwon on both the color and q number,
and my neighbor on the right quietly
swept up my coins from the color the
instant they were paid. / remon-
stratcd, and she very politely argued
the point, ending by restoring my
money. But during our discussion
my far larger stake, paid in the mean
whilo, on the winning number, had
disappeared into the pocket Of my
neighbor on the left, who was not SO
polite, and was very indignant at my
suggestion that the stake was mine.
An appeal to tho croupier only pro.
duced shrdg of the shoulders and
regret that he had not seen who stalk.
ed the money, an offer to stop the
play, and suggestion that I should
find it very difficult to prove it was
my stake. The plant between the
two women was evident. The whole
thing was a systematically planned
robbery, and very possibly the Group
Ter was a confederate.

A Cargo Of Snakes The Big.
geSt Serpent IN America.

From the Boston Advertiser. 3
On Saturday afternoon tho bark
Zingere1la, Captain Suar, arrived at
this port from Bissau, on the west
coast of Africa. The bulk of her car
go consisted of hides and peanuts,
but by way ofvariety she also brought
five boa constructors and four large
dog-faced monkeys. The largest of
the serpents is twenty eight foot
long, isof immense girth, and weighs
$50 pounds. On it's arrival it had
not eaten for six weeks. Its meal at
that tilno consisted of twelve cats
and o good.sized dog which it dispos-
ed of in tho course of night. On
Saturday night, showing signs Of
hunger, 1.-Two cat was given to it,
which it speedily crushed and swal-
lowed. A second live cat still re-
mains in the cage. The wrotched
animal evinces extreme terror at the
presence of its deadly foe. This is
the largest serpent ever brought to
this country. 1t is immensely pow
erful, as the effects of climate have
hardly yet lessened it's natural vigor.
The other serponts range from TWEEN
ty-three to eighteen feet in length.
The reptiles were taken to the yard
ola boarding house at No. II North
Square, where they have since been
inspected by large numbers of per
sons. 1t is expected that they will
soon be purchased by some menager-
lie proprietors.
