BILLS ALLOWED.

UNloNTowN.--When the boys of Union
town in this county, go out to corn husk-
ing, they should go light on the refresh
ments until they have been sub jected toa
chemical analysis; at least, the boys should
never attempt to trifle with the moods of
an old joker. There was husking frolic
in that vicinity the other night, and
these frisky boys being present wanted
to have little fun. We can't see, for
our part, what fun there is in drinking
too much coffee, utthey seemed to think
it would be a good joke to levy on the
refreshments and drink all the coffee, and
so they did Well it was a kind of joke
on the rest Of the company, but then the
boys lost all their anticipated fun, for no
one seemed to pay any attention to their
actions. On the next evening there was
M.other husking party and the boys were
on hand, prepared to meet the coffee and
make more of a success of their second
attempt at practical joking. They tackled
the coffee again, but they didn't drink as
much as they did the first night. After
small quantity had been swallowed,
the boys were seen to cease their wink
ing, and their faces began to lengthen;
they made a rush for secluded posts out
side in the dark, and leaning over the
aforesaid posts, gave strong evidences q
feeling badly inside. They were sick
lot, but with all their sad feeling they
knew enough-the joke was on them,
and a sorry one it was too. Before they
slipped off to their homes, they learned
that they had been drinking something
that wasn't all coffee, as some one had
mixed large percentage of tobacco with
the beverage, and now when any one
wants a fight he can be readily accom-
modated by giving a Uniontown boy a
wink and asking him to come and take
some coffee.

CURJOSITY-A TWO HEADED
SNAKE.

On Monday last we examined at
Rooms and Little's store, a small brown
snake having two distinct and perfectly
developed heads on one body. The lit
tie captive was living; having been
caught on Sunday by Frank Keefer, in
the swamp below town, Several parties
who examined it, pronounced it yonng
rattle snake, but if that be true, it must
be very young and diminutive speci-
men, as it IS but 8 or 10 inches in length,
but the two mouths, four eyes and every
other feature is fully developed in the
two heads, which are about half or
three-ouarers Of an inch long, and when
living still looks like a forked stick. The
little curiosity can raise one head
at will and let the other rest, or can dart
its two tongues out at once, seeming to
possess full and separate life in each
head. Iohn Koons bought the curiosity
and will keep it alive If possible, if not
he will preserve it in alcohol. nt
