can members presented themselves at the

cumstances, and would cooperate in any
measure for the good OF the State.
A letter OF resignation from Lucius Early,

sent from the House but four Republican

WHEAT.-Ohio wheat-crop reports arc
generally favorable. The fruit crops prom
isc well in some sections and are failures or
partial failures in others. The prospects Of
the winter wheat all through the Mississippi
valley are good, the only damage being an
ticipated from grassboppers, and they, it is
believed, will be less destructive than here
tofore. The average wheat crop OF Califor-
MIA is 200, 900 tons, but this year not more
than half million will be raised, which, to-
gether with the bad condition OF the stock
market, promises depressed state OF affairs
in that quarter this year.

at once Miss Tolten shrieked loudly and
began TO dance and to shrek: "There's
snake! Oh, take it off! Take it off,
Mr. Snow was well aware that the neigh
borhood was not entirely free from rat
t!esnakes. and be had often heard that
in the construction of feminine garments
nature had placed opportunities within
the reach of lurking serpents. While he
would in a good cause, have fearlessly
faced the dsadliest snake in existence,
the peculiar circumstances OF the case
filled him with horror. Appalling as
the alternative necessarily was to con-
scienticus theological student, he nerved
himself 10 beg Miss Tottsn to pause in
her wild dance and permit him to help
her. But to all his offers OF assistance
she cried; Go away" and in the same
breath added, without the slightest ap-
parent perception of her inconsistency:
Don't stand there grinning. but do help
me, From his state of suspense he was
finally relieved by the ingenuity of the
young lady herself, who implored him
to get club and strike the invisible
snake, no matter how heavily the blow
might fall upon her. The only avail
able substitute for club was fence
rail which lay near at hand. This rail
Mr.. Snow instantly seized and poised
with both hands, while he awaited fur
ther instructions. Aim here" cried
the suffering, but cool-headed girl, point
ing to the region Of the pocket, and M.
Snow, with strength born of his great
excitement, swung the fence rail and hit
the snaks with the accuracy and eficien-
cy of an accomplished army mule. The
Totten was whirled before i. and landed
in confused lump at some distance
from the striker. For moment he fam
cied the snake was boa constructor, Or
namented with transverse red and white
stripes. but the sight of a dead snake of
the agile though harmless species, known
as the black racer, convinced him of his
error. Mr.. Shows attention was speed
ily Withdrawn from the snake by fee
bic announcement on the part OF Miss
Totten. that he had killad her. This
was an e1aggeration. His mighty blow
had broken her leg and otherwise i'm
paired her efficiency; but she was still
alive, and is to appear at an early day
in court To accuse Mr.. Snow of assault
and battery, and to exact from him such
damages as an intelligent jury may as
