Great Snake Hunt in Ohio.

On the 10th ult., at Big Island town.
ship, in Marion county, on the farm of
Alexander Campbell, IA great snake hunt
occurred. The party was headed by
Capt. Jackson Brady, who led his gal
liant company down into the tall prairie
grass, and surrounding a twenty acre
lot, set fire to the outer edge of the
grass about 4 p. M. The grass burned
well, the flames rolling up ten feet high,
and as the fire advanced the snakes re-
treated to the centre, sometimes max
ing desperate efforts to spring through
the flames, but the blaze being too
heavy they were killed in the attempt.
AT 6.45 p. IN. the ground was burned
over, and Capt. Brady went over the
field of carnage and picked up the debris
of the great army of snakes, and by act
ual co unit, there was found to be. Ia, ,983
snakes of all sizes. One black racer was
nine feet and four inches long and sew
en- inches in circumference.
This may be considered a good days
work for this neighborhood, as the
snakes had become so bad that small
children were afraid to 60 to school and
they even attacked some adults, several
having been bitten on their boots, and
1t had become common thing for fifty
or hundred snakes to chase men, wo-
men, and children across this prairie.
The milk snakes were constantly milk
ing the COWS, and thereby interfering
with the dairy business in that section.

The Wrong Man Poulticed.

The following story, which we do
not remember to have seen in print,
may be old, but it is received as true:
AT a famous and fashionable water
ing place, a gentleman one night was
suddenly seized in bed with an ex-
cruciating pain in the stomach, which,
neither brandy, No. 6, nor any other
remedy could remove. His wife, after
trying number of things in vain, and
having exhausted all her stock of rem
edies, left her husbands bed. side FOR
the purpose Of getting warm appli-
cation. Guided on her return by a
light which she saw shining in cham
ber, and which she supposed was the
one just left, she softly entered ,ahd was
not little surprised to find her patient
apparently in deep slumber. How
ever thinking he might still be suffer
ing, she gently raised the bed.clothes,
&C., and laid the scalding poultice upon
stomach-but not the stomach of her
husband-which no sooner touched the
body Of the person than he, greatly
alarmed, and writhing under the tor
ture of the burning application, shout
ed: "Hallo! halo! what in the name
of heaven and earth are you about
there?" then, with one spring from his
bed, he made for the door and rushing
down stairs, declared in a frenzy OF ex.
citement, that some one had poured
shovel Of hot Goals upon him. The
woman, overcome with excitement
and alarm gave frantic scream, which
brought her husband hurriedly in
from the next room to her rescue. The
husband was SO much excited, and also
so much amused with the singular
mistake and the ridiculous position of
his better half, that he forgot all his
pains but early next morning he, his
wife and trunks left for parts unknown.
The poulticed gentleman still retains
the handkerchief-a beautiful linen fa-
brio with the lady's name on it, which
he considers of rare value.

Visit your Scholars.

The following, from the Sunday
School Banner, is worthy the attention
of every Sunday school teacher in the
land:
'There is, perhaps, no part of the
teachers duty so full of cheering pros
poets as the visitation of his scholars.
Children will withhold their confidence
even from the punctual and Jealous in
structor, but they can not resist the love
and sympathy that seek them at their
homes during the week. The instruc.
tions of the Sabbath may fail to soften
their little rebellious hearts, but the
kindness of social ministering to their
wants, or soothing the hour of pain, is
irresistible.
"A faithful teacher will record with
anxiety, in her memorandum book, the
absence of a scholar. If one Is absent
her heart inquiries, is the little one sick,
or Is he weary of the school? If poor,
she will be troubled lest lack ofcomfort-
able clothing caused the detention. We
say, she will anxiously inquire in this
way, If she Is faithful. What is her
duty? The answer is evident, visit the
scholar on the first opportunity.
"Children love those who love them.
They readily distinguish between affect
ed and real love. They can not be de-
ceived by professions of love and interest
in the classes, followed by indifference
and neglect the coming week. The
little ones cling to thekind teacher who
learns their peculiarities, inquiries into
their little trials, ministers to their
wants, and at their own firesides waters
with her prayers and counsels the in
tructions of the Sabbath.
"Absentees should be hunted during
the week; the sick ones visited and
prayed with; poor children provided
with necessary apparel, and new schol-
ars drawn into the school. The teach
ers who neglect to visit their classes
omit large portion of their duty"

a Good One for Smokers.

reputation, in walking her usual rounds

A FISH SToRY.-We met a boy on

ceremony of asking our name, he ex-
claimed.
"You just orter been down TO the
river while ago."
"Why?" we enquired.
Because, a nigger was in there
swimming, and a big cat fish came up
behind him and swallowed both of
his feet and went swimming along on
top Of the water with him, and they
came up behind another big fish, and
the Niger swallowed his tail, and the
niger and two fish went swimming
about"
"Well, then what?" we asked.
'Why, after while the niger
swallowed his fish, and the other fish
swallowed the niger, and that's the
last l saw of either of them"

alarm for the boy, "you are In fair
way to become the editor of Radical

Hints to wearers of Kid Gloves.

1t is not generally known, or does
not appear to be known, even by those
who wear kids almost exclusively,
that the durability and set of these ar
ticles depend very much upon how
they are put on the first time. Two
pairs may be taken from one box, Of
exactly the same cut and quality, and
by giving different treatment when
first putting the hands into them, one
and to wear double, or nearly that
length Of time, longer than the other.
When purchasing gloves, people are
usually in too much of a hurry, they
carelessly put them on, and let them
go in that way then, thinking to do
the work more completely at another
time. When this is the case person
is sure to meet with disappointment,
for as the glove is made to fit the hand
the first time it is worn, so it will fit
ever after, and no amount of effort
will make satisfactory change. Never
allow stretcher to be used, for the
gloves will not be likely to fit as we'll
for it. All of the expansion should be
made by the hands; If the kids are 80
small as to require the aid ofa stretcher,
they should not be purchased, as they
will prove too small for durability,
comfort or beauty.
When selecting gloves choose those
with fingers to correspond with your
own in length, take time to put them
on, working in the fingers first until
ends meets ends, thenrut in the thumb,
and smo 9th them down till they are
made to fit nicely. A glove that fits
we'll will usually wear we'll, at least
will wear better than one Of the same
kind that does not fit well. When the
ends of the fingers do not come down
right, or when they are so long as to
form wrinkles upon the sides of the
fingers, they will chafe out easily;
where the stretcher has to be used to
make the fingers large enough, the
bo dy part will be so small as to cramp
the hand SO that it cannot be shut
without bursting the seams of the
kids. Some recommend putting new
kid gloves into damp cloth before
they are put on, and allowing them to
remain until moistened. With this
treatment they can be put on much
easier than otherwise, and will fit very
nicely until they get dry, but on sec
ond wearing there will be an unnat-
ural harshness about them, wrinkling
in spots, and they will not set SO per.
fectly as at first. I have tried the
damping process, and do not~approve
of it Canadian Journal of Commerce.
