WHAT THEY SAY"

From the North Louisiana Republican.
The last number Of the Richland Beacon
has a complimentary notice of the Concordia
Eagle, expressing good wishes for It's success
We cannot refrain from complimenting the
Beacon for its honesty Of purpose and friend
ship for the members Of the press. of whatev-
er politics. a. implied by the notice referred
to. This is rare among the Democratic Ia
pers. As a general thing they have few
words OF cheer for an opponent A kind tone
Of fraternal sentiment and respect for its op
ponents seems to pervade the whole manage
ment Of the Beacon. This sentiment and alb
sence Of partisan hatred detract nothing from
its ability and will increase its already large
circulation. The editors of the Beacon ar,
models of editorial courtesy.

Chicken Snake.

pondence Of an exchange, signed &c H.,
vOuching for its authenticity
MIR John Smalley, of Jefferson Val
ley, killed chicken snake which measur-
ed seven feet and half in length. He
found it in the crack OF the fence, half Of
its body being on either side. On ex
animation, it was developed that the
snake had swalled a rabbit before it at.
to crawl through the crack, and
that after its body was half through il
caught and swallowed another rabbit,
thus having rabbit on each side of the
fence. The crack was so small that the
rabbit could not get through, and the
consequence was that that the snake was
killed 1t was killed in this situation.
