The Big Elk Neck Snake.

The existence in Elk Neck Two miles

the reptile had already disappeared in the
bushes it WAS impossible to yeil, but the
portion in view extended entirely across tie

underground on the side from which it was
passing. The road ut this point is about
eighteen feet in width, and it is estimated
that his sna;eShip is AZ the lowest calcutta

Z. Scott & Bros New Gard,

Our agricultural readers will please notice
the new advertisement of that enterpriSing
firm of ID. Scott x Bro. The strict excel
lence of the fertilizers they manufacture,
and the reliability OF the firm, are two of
the reasons why their business has increased
so lately. Since last season they have
doubled the capacity Of their works, and
they now have, both in location and char
ac;er, one of the best manufactures in the
Country. Vessels bring the crude materials
to the door of their mills, and carry to their
customers the manufactured product. This
cheap method Of transportation enables
them to give their customers the advantage
of reduction in price of goods of the same
standard quality, and which from the evil
dences to be seen on every hand, they are
rapidly awaiting themselves OF.
