For the Benefit OF Our City Faith
ers.-The Charlestown Spirit of last
Tuesday says:
"The Town Council, last Friday night,
passed an ordinance for grading, curbing
and matchmaking Congress street its en-
tire length at the expense of the town,
and requiring property owners on both
sides of the street to put down brick side
walks. The ordinance means business,
and provides that where any party fails
to make his pavement when the grading
and curb-setting is done, the town will
do it and recover the cost at once by levy
and collection in the same manner as taxes
are collected"
We are of the opinion that our own au-
thorities can learn something about max
ing pavements from Charlestown, and we
would like to see them make such an
order for some Of our own dilapidated
streets and sidewalks.

WE give the following snake story
substantially as it appeared in the Bell
are Independent of last Saturday: The
most mOnStrOus serpent ever known to
have visited this section was seen few
days since by Mr.. J. Cleary, highly re
spectacle and truthful farmer who re-
sides about five miles south of Hendrys-
burgh, and from his description it is
thought the animal must have escaped
from some menagerie. Mr.. Cleary was
hauling wood across a pasture field,
when his horses began to rear and snort
as if in dreadful fear, and seemed to
have their eyes on some object ahead.
When Mr.. Cleary looked ahead to see
what was the matter, he was frozen
with horror to see a most prOdigious
serpent, fifteen feet in length and as
thick around as his own body. 1t was
of a brownish black color, and from the
middle it tapered both ways. As the
huge animal slowly moved through the
grass and weeds it held its head twenty
inches above the ground. Mr. Cleary
AYERS that he will take oath that he saw
it just as above related. Mr.. Chas. Bar
low, another prominent citizen, also saw
the reptile,

AN elastic step, buOyaut spirits, and
clear compilations, are among the many
desirable results of pure blood. The
possessor of healthy blood has his facul-
ties at command, and enjoys clear and
quick perception, which is impossible
when the blood is heavy and sluggish
with impurities. Ayers Sarsaparilla is
the best blood purifier and vitalizer
