4 large blacksnake found his way in, and,
greedy for his dinner, swallowed one OF the
eggs, and fiuding the cream-pot in his way,
put his head through the handle, and con-
tinued to swallow eggs till his appetite was
appeased, and then coolly walked Oft with
the cream-pot as sort OF ornament around

bright. The North and South, he

The railroad between Parker and

up Monongohela Valley and along
the line Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad is the heaviest known. AT

flooded and badly injured. Immense
damage was done everywhere to

Local selfgovernment is about the
only thing in our institutions worth

would extend the functions of the
National Government, now that it
is republican, as against States
which have Democratic Govern.

encroachments of a Democratic Ma.
