The biggest snake story Of the season
. comes from LaurelviIe, ,WestmOre'urd couD-

bv minister Of the gospel. Rev. I. KnuDp
of the vi.lrge above named lie says that
one day last week his wife and Anthony
Enupp, while gathering berries came upon
den Of rattlesnakes and commenced q viz
oTOus warfare upon them. At first Klupp
began shooting them with a revolver hut
soon discovered that there were too MANY Of
them to be dispatched in that wav where
upon they TesOrted to the use Of poles. The
result was, So Rev. Mr.. Knupp saws that
they killed one hundred and fifrv and ufoht
have made it two hundred or more IF rhev
had kept on at the work. Judging bv the

Reports embracing the standing Of each
attendant at our public schools are issued 10
pupils every second week. This is a new
feature introduced by the efficient principal,
Mr.. Riddle, and is for the purpose of letting
the parents know the progress, department
tdrdineSs and absence OF their children. Il is
only too true that pupils occasionally take
upon themselves the authority to remain
away from school without consulting the
wishes Of either the parent of teacher, and
are supposed by their parents to be at school.
The teacher has no recourse in such a case,
and il is the duty of parents to see that their
children are regularly in attendance at school,
unless excused for good and sufficient rea-
sons. These reports If they receive the pro-
per attention Of parents, will Obyiate all such
difficulties If the pupils course is to be ap-
proved, the parents signature on the report
will indicate such approval; after which they
are to be returned to the teacher in charge
This Is an excellent plan for the purpose in
tended, and we predict for it gratifying re-
suits.
