Hon. lGNATIUs DoNNBILY-Dear Sir:-YOurs
of the 18th came to hand in my absence, and
hasten to reply. So far as the fossil remains Of
the snake are concerned. no one who has ex-
amined it has any doubt. The piece in my
possession is % inches long and 5X inches in
diameter. The shape of the scales are clearly
visible, and it is no doubt the fossil remains 81
snake.
The bolt of which you desire most to know
is in my opinion the fossil remains of small
tree or the limb of tree with vine so wound
around as to resemble the threads of bolt of
iron; but the unequal distribution Of the
threads clearly demonstrate the impossibiity
of its being an iron bolt, some Of the cuts being
l-S, 3-l6, IA, etc.
The fossils were found i'll sandstone quarry,
80 feet below the surface, and were found by
Messrs. Rowley, who were at work for us in
getting out stone for repairs on our dam.
Most respectfully yours,
E, G. CHASE.
We would respectfully suggest to Mr..

that he send the relics in question. es-

Foreign Grain Trade.

LONDON, January 1.-THE Mark Lane
Express weekly report Of the grain trade
saws: Winter returned last week with
greatly increased severity, but no change
from the mild and damp weather has
been servicesble TO the newly threshed
samples, which had scarcel y found buy
ers in consequence of their miserable con-
dition, and 10 this we attribute the mod
crate decline in averages, rather than 10
any actual reduction. We can hardly
rely upon full recovery in the condition
until March sets in. So We havesix weeks
before we can expect much benefit, though
the land has been getting somewhat
drained of superauous moisture in prep
aration Tor spring planting. We notice
by weekly sales that now We have exactly
reached the average of last year when
the crop was good one Unless i'm
ports continue TO be overdone, which
with the north one portion closed and
New York quotations fully FIVE shillings
per quarter dearer, seems quite improts-
Bile, there must eventually DO II
recovery in prices rs our wants
become conspicuous. More frmness
is evinced at Paris and in some
provincial markets, also in Belgium, but
the Dutch and German markets have re-
mained dull, the roads and canals being
obstructed by ice and snow. The latter
seems to have been more plentiful IN
other parts of Europe than in England.

Condition OF the Cuban Question.

WASHINGTON, January l7.-Secretsry
Fish was before the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, to day, by Invitation,
and in general terms informed the Com
mttee Of the present condition OF the
Cuban question. He did not specifically
state the terms of the circular addressed
to the foreign nations on that subject, but
intimated that it merely asked their
general support in the event of mediation
or Intervention by the United States
Alluding to the recent Madrid telegram
giving the outline Of SPANS reply to
the American circular, he said he did not
regard Its tone as unfrisndly as to nego-
tiations now in progress. They were
conducted in conciliatory spirit on both
sides and certainly without threats on the
part of the United States and he hopei
that negotiations would terminate ssti''
factorily. He was willing that the COZ
respendence should be laid before the
House and this would be done should
that body call for it. Subsequently s
resolution was passed calling for the CO...
respondencc, which will soon be comnI.
nicated by the President TO the House.

The InternatIoaaI Rife Contest.

New YORK, January l7.-Sir Henry
Halford, a noted English rifeman, has
been for some time past earnestly en-
gagged in organizing an English team OF
twelve. This team is TO be one Of the
many European ones expected to COM
pete in the United States during the
Centennial against an American team of
equal numbers. That an Irish team
would appear on the scene had been
practically settled. A Scotch one wss
expected, while there are good reasons to
believe that rife teams will be here from
France, Belgium, Germany and probably
Italy.
A cable dispatch received to o-day, how.
ever, by Judge Giloersleene from Sir
Henry Hslford, puts the matter in new
light, in SO far as England, Ireland and
Scotland are concer ned, the desire Of the
directors of the English Rife Association
being to make up It's team of twelve from
among the rife men of English, Irish and
Scotch associations.
The following is the texth of the dis
patch received by Judge Gildersleeve
from Sir Henry Htlford:
London, January 1.-THE directors

by United Statss, Great Britain
and Ireland Rifle Association met ON
Friday, and 1 am sure will not sustain

THE MARPER's FERRY PROP.
ERTY.

There have been many contradictory
reports regarding the status Ut this prop
erty, and concerning the appeal in rela'
tion thereto from the decision OF Judge
JACKSON, lately delivered i'll this city.
We crp!cd telegram from the Baltl-
more Stm few days since, stating that
the Attorney General had not decided
to abandon the appeal, though strenuous
efforts were being made by Senator DAVIS,
and Hon. &. j. FAULKNER to induce
him to do so. 1t seems that this report
was not altogether correct. The latest
on the subject is that there is nothing
indefinite in the condition of that ques-
tion before the department, hor was the
commu1 Icstion of the purpose OF the
Attorney General to dismiss the Gov
ernment appes at all premature. Onthe
3Oth of Decem Ter the Attorney General
addressed an official letter TO Mr.. Faulk-

that district. in which he announced
his then impression as follows: al shall

decree If the court" An order of sale
necessarily implies dismissing or aban-

In the impeachment trial yesterday

princial point endesvored to be made
by the Managers was that WILLIAM L

for the purpose of paying for stock in
the Ksnawha Valley Bank which
was paying ten per cent
the condition on which this loan was
