Rattlesnakes in Minnesota Double
Header.

Rattlesnakes are more plenty this
season in some of the old-settled coun-
ties than ever before. At Elba, on the
line between Winona and Olmsted coun-
ties, young man who was holding a
breaking-plow saw his plow-colter cut
rattlesnake in two. A few minutes
after he stopped the pillow to clear the
Golfer from brush and weeds which had
clogged before it, and as he was pulling
the stuff away he felt sharp sting on
his arm, and saw the snakes head and
about six inches of it's body. 1t struck
him second time close to the first bite,
and he plainly saw its fangs as it struck
Instantly putting the wound to his
mouth and sucking it, he started for the
farm house, sixty yards away, which he
reached with difficulty. Whisky was
given him freely, and physician was at
once sent for. When the physician ar
rived, some hours after, the arm was
badly swollen and nearly black in color;
but at last accounts the man was re-
covering.
At Poe's mill, in the same town, a
Mrs. Jones stepped into the front door
of her house just in time to see large
snake crawling into the rear door. Her
screams brought her boy, lad of twelve
years, who soon killed the intruder,
which carried eleven rattles. The same
day one was killed in an adjoining yard
and another at house half mile away.
In Fillmore county Mrs. Cosgrove,
of Lanesboro, found rattlesnake, four
feet long, coiled in a kitchen wood-box,
and killed it. Mrs. Hefty, of Rushford,
was rocking and singing, when thir-
teen-rattled monster crawled into her
sitting-room and stretched himself in
the sun across the doorway. The lady
was never before able to reach so high
on the musical scale as she did when
she discovered her unwelcome visitor,
Butt she boldly attacked the reptile with
tongs and chairs, and soon killed it.
And two young men of Fillmore village
the other day brought in the body of
another inhabitant, twelve-rattler,
they had killed in Pleasant Grove.
A few years ago the people of those
counties supposed there were no rattle
snakes left there, though they were
plenty enough when the whites moved
in, because the Sioux counted them as
"crakon (sacred), and would not kill
hem. 1t is supposed the heavy rains
of the season have flooded the holes and
rock crevices and driven the snakes out.
Here are two more snake items for
which Judge it wise to give my author
ity The Pierce County wis., Herald
says rattlesnake was killed in Rush
Valley in that county last week which
had thirty -one rattles. The Ne1Us of
Elk River, in Sherbulne county, says
that Mr.. Jones, of Battle Brook, in that
county, captured upon his farm snake
with two heads, one upon each end of
its body. The heads were exactly alike,
and it was impossible to tell which way
the thing would move until it was III
motion. He kept it for several days,
and exhibited it to many who had the
curiosity to call and see it, but at last
let it escape and has been unable to find
it since.-,T. Paul Cor. NeW York

HARD TO SwALLow.-The Pulaski
citizen tells this little tale, which reflects
great credit upon the ingenuity of some
body: Charles Il. Robinson, of Giles
county, Ga., killed chicken snake,
which measured seven feet in length.
He found it in crack of the fence, half
its body being on either side. On ex-
animation, it developed that the snake
had swallowed rabbit beforeit attempt
ed to crawl through the crack, and that
after its body was half through, it
caught and swallowed another rabbit,
thus having rabbit on each side of the
rabbits could not get through, and the
consequence was that the snake was
hitched. 1t was killed in this situation.

SAUCE FOR THE eANDER.y

A Characteristic Letter from Gen. spin
ner 10 Mstiiator OF Legal Tender
Notes.
United States Treasurer Spinner has
addressed the following scorching letter
to the cashier of New England bank,
who has been engaged in the disreputa-
BILE business of mutilating legal tender
notes
TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES,
WASHINGTON, Aug. Z.
SIR Your letter of the LIST inst was received
yesterday by the American Express Company.
There came inclosed, therein stated two
United States legal tender notes, one of the
denomination of $500 and the other 800.
Both these notes are entirely new. having
never even been folded, and are perfectly
clear, being without .ot or speck. For some
bad purpose, probably fraudulent one, with
a view to the raising OF other United
states notes OF smaller denominations TO the
stature OF these, more than one-tenth of each
has been scissored out with clean cut.
Under the old regulations Of the Treasury
Department, which existed for more than ten
years, these two notes could have been re-
deemed for only nine-tenths of their face
value. Sixty dollars would under the old
rules, have been deducted for mutilations.
These rules unfortunately for the Govern
ment have been lately modified, 30 that this
penalty cannot be enforced. Under this more
than generous modification, you claim to have
returned to you United States notes of like
denominations, under Government contract, at
the expense of the United States. The charge
by the express company for their transporta-
ton both ways would be $1.20. For dog. days,
consider this request decidedly cool. First.
you or your client wilfully mutilate clesa, new
notes, and then you ask the Government not
only to replace them with other new, un-
mutiated notes, to be in their turn, for aught
l know, mutilated and returned With like re-
quest for other new notes, but to pay the ex-
pense aud run the risk OF transportation both
ways. This, to my mind, is piling it on pretty
steep. You not only burn with hot iron,
but ask the burned one to pay for heating the
poker. Ii you will turn to the 5Sth section of
the National Banking law, you will find that if
any person had treated any two of your bank
notes in the way these two United States notes
have been treated, you could recover by action
In any court having jurisdiction, $50 for each
OF the mutilations. Now, what is sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander. Ought not
the perpetrators of these mutilations be made
TO respond in like manner? Under these cir
cumstances, it has been concluded that the
notes shall be retained at any rate until the
pieces that were cut out of them shall be re-
turned to this Office, and until the apparent
fraudulent or malicious mutilation shall have
been satisfactorily explained to the Depart
ment. Very respectfully yours,
Il. L. SPINNER,

A Disease with a Thousand symptoms.

A Disease with Thousand Symptoms.
Dyspepsia is the most perpiexing OF all human
ailments It's symptoms are almost INFINITE in
their variety and the forlorn and Respondent vic
tins Of the disease often fancy themselves the
prey. in turn, OF every known malady. This is
due, in part, TO the close sympathy which exists
between the stomach and the brain, and in part,
also, TO the fact that any distur bance OF the
digestive function necessarily disorders the liver,
the bowels and the nervous system, and Affects, to
some extent, the quality of the blood. A medicine
that, like Hostetter's Bitters not only tones the
stomach but at the same time controls the liver,
produces a regular habit Of body, braces the
nerves, purihes the fluids and ministers TO a
specific for chronic Indigestion Such ~ the opor-
alton of this famous vegetable restorative. 1t not
emily cures dyspepsia, but also all concOmitants
and consequences. Moreover, it is invaluable AS a
preventive of indigestion. No one who chooses to
take half winegassful Of this agreeable appetizer
and stomachic habitually three times day will
ever be troubled with oppression after eating
nausea, sour quotations, or any other indications
of a want OF vigor in the digestive and assimilat-
ing organs. The debility and languor superin-
duced by hot weather are Immediately and per-
manently relieved by the Bitters, and persons
who constitutionally inclined TO look upon lio
" as through glass, darkly," will be apt to take
brighter and more hopeful view of the situation
under the genial influence of this wholesome
m medicinal stimulant.
