A Georgia Mouse-Trop.

On last Sunday Mrs. James Hardemarn.
of this place, was Mortified at seeing a
large blacksnake?coiled across the entrance
of the front door of her home, its head
erect and darting out its mouth defantly.
Mrs. Hardemann's screams brought her
husband to the scene, and with stout
stick he went for the serpent. The first
lick he made struck the snake on the back
of the head. 1t was fatal blow, and the
snakes head dropped in the agony of
death; but to the establishment of Mr.. H.
and wife there scampered out of the
snakes mouth two live mice.

to remark in her presence that it would

two persons-a man and a woman-one
being on one side of the group of persons
around the auctioneer and the one on the

THE sAwDUsT QUESTION.
Hastings Gazette: ''The Minneapolis
sawdust investigating committee, with the
others connected with the exhibition, was
composed of very nice gentlemen, and the
local press are indebted for courtesies ex-
tended, still the fact remains that they are
deeply interested in proving that the
dumping of sawdust into the Mississippi
is not detrimental to navigation, and their
report does not carry that weight which it
would command if made by entirely dis
interested parties who have no
pecuniary interests at stake. The
opinion of every steamboat man is point
ed and decisive that the debris from the
mills has nearly, if not quite, offset the
large annual appropriations made by the
government for the improvement of the
river, and it will require other evidence
than the lumbermen themselves to con-
vince the people that they are not correct
in their conclusions. Capt. n. D. McGill
of the steamer Annie Barnes says that the
bottom of the river near the light at the
head of Vermilion slough is entirely COW
cred with sawdust, and before the recent
rise his boat would pillow it up as he pass
ed over with barge of lumber. This
point seemed to escape the attention of
the committee, but it can be easily explor-
cd IN skiff by any one wishing to satisfy
himself in the premises

admit that they encountered numerous
beds of sawdust below Red Wing, which
they had not time to investigate, and ex-

their researches further-expressing them

last) as not entirely satisfied with their
own report, and desiring an escort of St.

being interrogated Capt. Berkey stated
that the fire department and the police
were two heavy items and together they
constituted about $4,000 of the

STREET PAVING.
The following offered by General Averill
was referred to the committee:
RESOLVED, That the committee on streets.
roads and parks be instructed to examine
and report upon the question whether the
time has not arrived when all the streets in
the business portion of st. Paul should be
paved, and all attempts to improve other
wise should be abandoned.
THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
The following matter was presented
after adjournment, but will be forwarded
to Washington:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 16, 1882.
To the Chief Signal Officer, U. S. A.,
Washington, d. C.-SIB: The chamber of
commerce of this city begs to call your
attention to the meagerness of the meteor
illogical reports furnished through the
signal service to the merchants and agri-
culturalists of this city and adjacent ter
ritory. Your attention is earnestly direct
ed to the vast system of railroads center
ing here, which furnishes the greatest ia
cilities for speedy and dire ct communica-
ton and distribution of information
TO an immense area of agricultural
population, had we the printed bulletins
which could be issued daily from the sig
nal station here. We would further urge
that the tri-daily weather bulletins issued
for this place be increased so as to include
reports from the territory south and east
of st. Paul. As the signal service is of
undoubted value to both commercial and
agricultural interests, we feel that We are
entitled to all . benefits which are
afforded to communities of smaller or less
important interests, such as Memphis,
Nashville, Leavenworth, Burlington and
others. Seeing and feeling the importance
of information furnished by the signal ser
vice, we now most urgently and respect
fully ask the establishment of this station
upon the broadcast and most efficient basis.

seemed SO strange; but that Wisconsin,
Michigan, Illinois, Maine and nearly every
other state and the Canadas should have
fallen into the same errors, and embodied
the public sentiment of the entire people

We reflected, however, that none of these
government experts and practical river
men had ever had the experience in
obstructing navigable rivers which
Mr.. Joel B. Bassett of this
Minneapolis committee had, or which

mittee had, or S. W. Farnham or other

four days from St. Anthony Falls
to Lake Pepin? And since there is
positive testimony of Maj. Mackenzie, in
his last report, and Maj. Gillespie, and
hundreds of steamboat men that they had
seen sawdust in the bed and channel of
the river; had found it an obstruction to
navigation, and had scooped and dredged
