These aud many other points he dwelt

A Scorpion Whipped by a Lizard

J
 George Jennings, of Six Mile Canon, de- scribes queer battle which he saw between lizard and a scorpion. He says the lizard "a black one, about eight inches in length came out of pile of lumber, and his atten- tion was attracted to it by seeing it bobbing it's head up and down and occasionally creep ing forward foot or two. Looking in the direction in which the lizard was creeping Jennings saw a scorpion, four inches in length, sitting upon pile of moist sand. Thinking the lizard meant to attack the scorpion, Jen- nings was careful to do nothing that would disturb either The lizard moved close to the scorpion, when it braced itself up on it's fore feet and began bobbing it's head. The scorpion erected its tail, when it vibrated in threatening manner The lizard then cir cled round the scorpion, occasionally halting to bow at him. At length the scorpion at tempted to crawl away. The lizard then darted upon him and adroitly seized him by the last joint of the tail-that which contains the poison sack and at the point of which is situated the sting but had apparently no means of doing any further damage. The scorpion twisted himself about and tried to get hold of the lizard with his claws, which are like the claws of lobster or crawfsh, whereupon the lizard shook him as @ dog would shake rat. This was repeated doz- ems of times, the lizard resting after each him with it's nippers. The battle lasted over half an hour At last the scorpion no longer showed fight and the lizard dragged him away into the lumber pile. MT. Jennings says he has been in the country twenty years, but never before saw battle of the kind and had no idea that lizard would attack SCOT DiOn

 Woman's gratitude is queer article, as the following veraeious anecdote will testify: A certain stock broker in this town had 8 land lady, pleasant sort of woman but who had an eye to the main chance One evening the good lady was in@ deuce of a taking, the cares of this world pressed heavily upon her, and she became lachrymose. tsWhat ails you, Mrs. s. ?'' sympathetically asked the big hearted broker. "Oh, sir!'' replied the dame, 'Tm in heap of trouble. I do wish I was rich" ''The devil you o2'' respond ed the broker. That's very common dis ease. How much, now, would you call a comfortable independence p 'SWen," said the lady, Eff had two thousand dollars I'd be a happy woman" The broker reflected. His bowels yearned to make the old woman happy, and he went and invested in Con. Virginia to the amount of twenty shares which realized profit of $4,OOO, which he instantly handed to Mrs. S., with his best re- gards. The old lady was overjoyed. She wept on his waistcoat she called him her preserver she would have kissed him but he wouldn't have it. At last, when her transports had somewhat subsided, the instinct of mon ey-making began to show itself, and she re- quested the broker to reinvest the whole sum on her behalf. He demurred: he objected :; he begged of her to be content with the pro- fit she had made. He knew the uncertainty of stocks but all in vain. Mammon reigned triumphant in the old woman's breast. She insisted; he yielded and of course lost half of the investment. The old lady had 1000 left, but was she satisfied? No! She actu- ally sued the broker for the balance. Such is woman's gratitude

CoUaHs.-Brown's Bronchial Troches are used with advantage to alleviate coughs, sore throat, hoarseness and bronchial affections. For thirty years these troches have been in use, with annually increasing favor. They are not new and untried, but having been tested by wide and constant use by nearly an entire generation, they have attained we'll merited rank among the few stable remedies of the age.
 THE THRoAT.-Brown's Bronchial Troches act directly on the organs of the voice. They have an extraordinary effect in all disorders of the throat and larynx, restoring healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold or over exertion of the voice, and produce clear and distinct enunciation. Speakers and singers find the troches useful.
 A cough, cold, catarrh or sore throat re- quires immediate attention, as neglect often times results in some incurable lung disease. Browns Bronchial Troches will almost inva- riably give relief. limitations are offered for sale, many of which injurious. The gen. uine Browns Bronchial Troches are sold only in boxes. d23 t,th,f 1tw

A Grand Flag RaisinS.

grand Democratic flag raising" took place in Stratford Saturday. The grandeur is thus described by the Bridgeport Standard: : '"The Democrats of Stratford set out to have good time Saturday over the flag raising, which was expected to call out all the Demo- cratic enthusiasm of this historic old town A pole had been erected in front of John Hard's, but Mir. Hard objected to the posi- tion, and so the crowd adjourned to con- venient place and suspended the flag between two trees: There were just twenty persons present, one-quarter of whom were Republi- cans who had gathered to see the fun No oration was delivered as the orator was else where, and the flag was suspended in solemn silence save three faint cheers which could scarcely be heard little way off. An air of great solemnity pervaded the occasion, and the deed being done, the crowd quietly ad- iourned to neighboring grocery"

Rails Brought Back From China.

An English vessel which arrived at New York Saturday had on board the rails of the only railroad ever built in China. It was laid down from Shanghai to Woo Lung, several years ago, on permit granted to MT. Charles E. Hill, of this city, the defendant in the famous divorce suit lately before the courts. The road was intended to be the pioneer of an intended system, but on account of the strong opposition the enterprise had to be abandoned and the rails torn up. Mir. Hill, who was one of the principal men engaged in the construction of the road, has recently taken measures to recover possession of the $4O,O0O or $5O,OO worth of real estate in China which several years ago he deeded to bis wife -Bridpeport Farmer

Still, all the me- chanics of the Seven Hills were far from be- ing unlearned some evidently relished po- etry, for on the walls of their shops, lines from Virgil, Ovid and other poets are found by the modern explorer.
