BACHELORS AND THINGS
Our Dolly Warden bachelor continues his
-omnambulistic strolls; mods his head, shakes
his manc, tips his pate-kivsr and coquetishly
smiles on al alike-the righteous and the I'M
righteous. Our town is famous for interesting
bachelors and old maids, who sigh as they
think Of the past and what might have been, /"
yet still ignore the scripturl injunction to
multiply thou thy opportunities to do good,
that good may come"
A LARGE SNAKE.
The mountains in this vicinity abound in
vcnomouA reptile~ and insects, and strange 10
say, our citizens are scarcely ever bitten by
them. Mr.. W. r. Dillon, Of scufile, captured
alive, very large rattlesnake few days ago,
measuring upwards Of four feet in length, and
possessing thirteen raules and one button.
This is said to he the largest snake Of that
species which has been seen in this vicinity
this season. The captor Gagged his snakeship
and expressed him TO his friend W. T. Knott
railroad agent at Lebanon. Mr. Knott will
become unplcasantly "Knotty" il Mr.. Snake
gets a nibble at him.
Young ladies who visit Middle Fork are
startled at the sound Of the grub-bell at the
Miners Hotel.
The most welcome visitor We have had in
this vicinity for sometime was W. T. Knott,
treasurer Of the extensive coal firm Of Harris

aud squared OF with the miners Of Middle
Fork a few days since They gave him a
square meal at the Miners hotel, and he de-
parted in peace.
Mr. Frank Jackson, late conductor Of CON
-iruction train, paid Us a flying visit few

ployment. Frank is whole-souled fellow,
and we regret to give him up, but wish him
much success wherever he may cast his lot.
Your agent at this place went on a solicit
ting expedition few DAYS since His assidu-
Gus attention to the business in hand will, we
trust, eventually be rewarded.
The bravcst man in this benighted region
has recently traded fine saddle horse for ir-
