Mr.. Walters and his wife were returning
to the city in two-horse buggy from
trip into the country. About seven miles
from town, on the Mansfield road, they
passed snake that was lying by the side
of the road. the great size of which at
tracted their attention. After passing the
reptile, Mr.. Walters concluded that he
would turn back and kill it. He turned
the team around, drove back to a point
opposite the snake, drew his pistol and
fired at it, but without effect. The horses
not being used to the report of firearms,
became restless aud hard to control, which
caused the attention Of Mr.. Walters to be
diverted from the snake, which ran rapidly
TO the buggy, up the wheels and on to
the dashboard before the occupants were
aware of it. The snake, when it was
within a foot of the occupants of the car
riage, coiled the lower part of its body

Reading Farmers.

To drive or to be driven, is what makes
or mars IN all avocations in life, and espec-
tally so in manual labor. Those farmers
who take time to read journals devoted to
their calling, are as a class the ones who
keep ahead of their work, and drive it, in-
stead Of letting iC drive them. 1t is true
untoward weather or backward seasons will
often throw the labor of the farm behind
but, nevertheless, the reading farmer, be
cause he is also a thinking man, will at such
times be devisiug ways and means fol-
forwarding his work when the weather be
comes fine, and will thus place himself anC
his field in advance of his more dilatory
neighbors who do not read, and who de
pend upon watching the time when thu
more thoughtful farmer begins.

An officer of the navy, on board one of

A man on board the U. S. s. Mouocacy,
whose term of service had just expired,

A worthless Endorsement.

The Union League club Of New York
has again Endorsed the administration. f"
That body Of nIk-stocking Republicans
seem to think that without their indorse-
ment the administration would soon cease
to exist; and SO a set Of patronizing reso-
lutions is introduced and passed at every
monthly meeting. A more worthless in
dorsement than theirs could lot be procur-
ed OF any price. These New York Union
Leaguers represent nobody but themselves.
They are the regularly commissioned
toadies of the Republican party. At the
bidding Of that party they blackguarded
Horace Greeley; at the bidding Of that
party they licked the boots of Grant, and
now, acting under the same orders, they
are beslavering Hayes with their serVilt
Hattery. He probably has sense enough
to appreciate that fattery at its true value
and is sorry that his administration il
afflicted with the friendship of men whc
have long since become the objects Of pop
ular contempt.-EIc.

A paragraph in the May number of the
National Live Stock Jaur al stated that
at a recent sale of Short-horns in Missouri,
the proprietor of the herd made the fol-
lowing statement:
In February, 1868, l purchased my
first Shcrt- horn heller, for which | paid
$780, Since that time / have sold 7
young bulls for 81 ,065. At this sale, %
females fetched $3,9lO, and bulls $685..
have 5 young bulls left. In nine years
and half tie produce of this one animal
numbered tOrtyt1oO, with twelve heifers
to drop calves within six months; and the
amount realized in cash has been $500.
We commend this example to the intel
ligent farmers of the country, as one that
illustrates what may be accomplished by
plain, practical men, without forcing and
pampering in Over-management, and with
out resorting to speculation in fancy fam
lilies and fancy prices.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the imper-
thence to offer the following moral in

yearns for a neighboriug paddock he ought
to get Utah divorce. The first cost is
greater than that of an ounce Of arsenic,
but the average Imprisonment for bigamy
is not so long as for murder by poison.

occupied by federal troops"
