the cows, a large black snake jumped
from tree and took after him. He had
small dog with him a: the time, who
began to worry the snake. This gave
the boy an opportunity to seize club

ant. After he dispatched the reptile he
tied piece of hickory bark aronnd its
neck and dragged it to his home as an
evidence of his prowess. The snake
measured six feet and four inches, and
was heavy in proportion For boy OF
only ten years of age, to combat with
and kill reptile of that size, shows an
amount of courage and pluck not usually
found in one so young. About two
years ago snake of about the same size
as the one here referred to, sprang from the
same tree and chased younger child of
Mr. Shrodes for considerable distance.
The child fortunately got away without
suffering anything but great fright. 1t

A BOLD and successful forgery was
imposed on the First National Bank Of
NIifflinburg on Friday, 14th inst. A
stranger, giving his name as David
Mench. presented the check of Samuel
R. Iearick, on Selinsgrove Bank, to
Amos Benier, for $500. He stated to
The Cashier. Mr.. j. W. Sands, that he
had received the check from Mr.. Benfer,
by whom il was endorsed, and that he
resided above Miffliuburg about three
miles. He likewise endorsed the check
and it was cashed. 1t was soon dis
covered to be forgery, but no trace OF
the forger has as yet been discovered
The Cashier was thrown off bis guard
by the familiar and responsible names
used and the fact that so large connec.
ton of the Mench family reside in this
locality. Recently a similar attempt
was successfully practiced upon the
Union National Bank at Lewisburg-
Bank officers should be put on their
guard against the scoundrels who seem
to be travelling on this new bold dodge.
