Advertisements and Adverse Claimants.

A Montana case just decided i'll the General Land Office. presents some pc culiar as well as interesting features. An application for patent was filed by the locator, and due notice of the same was given in the usual way, by publication etc. It so happened that the printer, for his own convenience, attached to the ad- vertisement, notice that the advertise ment expired on a certain day, which was several days after the limit in which ad- verse claimants could file their protests. An adverse claimant alleged that the note of the printer misled him, and that when he offered his papers at the local office, they could not be received. because the time for filing an adverse claim had expired. Under these circumstances he appealed to the Commissioner, who sus- tained the decision of the local office, and says that it IS not the province of pub lished notice to inform adverse claimants at what period the time within which an adverse claim may be filed expires; but its office is to inform all interested that an application for certain mineral land has been filed at date named, and ad- verse claimants are therefore It upon inquiry In other wefds. it is presumed that every claimant knowssthe law and mGst judge for himself when the time for filing expires, ard must not be led astray by false lights and therefore must suffer the consequences of his own negli gence or ignorance, and the department can afford no remedy.

THE disparity of the sexes in churches

THE disparity of the sexes in churches is placed by Zion's Herald at two to one in favor of the women, and the same pa per also makes the following rather startling statement: "If we were to take the churches right through the country, we should probably find that not more than one-tenth of the members are in the prime of life. The other nine-tenths are women, men who have passed their meri- dian, and youths who have not reached their maturity. It is also to be observed that in almost every community the ma jority of the energetic, enterprising busi- ness men are not avowed and active Christians; and if they are identified with the Church at all, it is usually only in the most superficial way"

TIE Virginia City Enterprise says: " The latest news from Arizona is that the centipedes of that country are per fectly harmless. 4 miner down there lets them crawl about his arms and neck, and even puts them in his breast with impunity. However, there still remain to be disposed of the tarantulas, SCOT pions, lizards, rattlesnakes and Apaches"
 The sequel to the pretty story, how evrr, was not so greatly derogatory to the credit of the centipede after all, for at least it brought that miner to realize the pOtentcy of its poison, and he had to drink a barrel or two of whiskey to counteract its effects. The centipede died.

Fighting an Army or Snakes.

On Saturday morning lust, as Jacob | Uhl, farmer of Prospect Hill, with his seven-year-oldb boy, was loading his wagon with logs from pile he had cut about a mile from his house, he heard an ominOus hiss and rattle. Then a monster rattle snake thrust his head out ftom between the logs, and Mir. Uhl said that he then saw what seemed to him hundreds of the reptiles in the wOOdpile. He gave a leap from the pile, and telling his frightened boy to drive his oxen to the load and wait for him, he grasped a stick and began fighting the snakes, which seemed to come from every crack in the pile of logs and from the rocky ledge behind. For three hours he fought in the broiling sun. By that time the snakes were pretty well thinned out and those that were left crawled slowly back to theiF den under the logs. When Mir. Uhl recovered from the exhaustion caused by his hard fight he surveyed the field before him. There were according to bis story, twenty three rattlesnakes, thirteen blackBnakes, four pilots and several adder and Gther snakes, making fifty-fOur in all. One of the rat tiers had nineteen rattles and another had the almost mcredbleI number of thirty. The others ranged from six to twelve or thirteen rattles apiece. Mr.
 Uhl says says that he found Ehe faugs Of several snakes in the tops tf his boots, which were of thick cowiidei The only bite he received was from P big black snake on his left arm. The arm Is swOl- len and somewhat painful, but the wound k not dangerous. Several ydars ago two hunters killed lO7 snakes of different va rieties near the same spot.-H Ellenville, \.
