them: We will take care of ANYTHING you

see that they do take care OF it.
True. But howy A car load of buggles
coming from Cincinnati to Seneca is
hauled at a fair price, but from Seneca to
Ottawa the freight is about as much as
from Cincinnati to Seneca.
Another point:
What benefit would this road be to Otta
wa? Ii is safe to say none at all there are
now two lines, north and south, east and
west, through this county that can handle
all the business that can be made.
Corn at Seneca Is worth 2 to cents

the X. & S. road was built Ottawa PAID

A Genuine Ball Fight.
From The Lyncl,burg AdUance.l ]

Last week Frank Damn, a butcher of Norfolk
bought herd of cattle in that city which he
sent TO his slaughter-pens in Brambleton.
Among the cattle there was large long horned
bull which would not be driven into the stable
lot, and becoming very mad, attacked every
thing that came near him. The owner ordered
the oolored man 10 bring cut the bulldogs, and
ten large, heavy-mouthed CANNES were turned
loose. At their masters commands these
trained dogs made a dash at the Infatuated
beast, and Il few seconds afterward one of them
was going heavenward at a rapid rate that as
dashed down the street, making for the open
country, but being overtaken, he turned again
and made fight, this time driving a horn
through one Of the savase-looking dogs which
attempted TO catch his nose.
After some hard fighting in which the bull
IS well as several of the dogs were seriously
injured, he again made a retreat. but only to
turn quickly and toss another dog in the air.
which, DO sooner than falling TO the ground, he
almost mashed into Jelly. This fight continued
for several minutes the dogs being assisted
by men, who did everything in their power to
conquer or Kill, and at last, after most gallant
struggle Tor life and liberty. the bull had TO bite
the dust. After the death the dogs returned
home considerably worsted, many of them
hardly able to walk back TO their kennels Two
died the following evening But for the des-
perate assistance rendered by the men, it is
said that the bull would have killed the entire
pack. A gentleman who witnessed the fight
said that if the dogs had been turned loose,
one at time, the bull could have killed hum
dred Of them.

The Boss Snake Story.
From The Pail NAL Gazette.l


A snake so huge as to suggest the suspicion
that the sea serpent has temporarily deserted
its native element has been discovered in the
Witzenberg Mountains, in South Africa
resident, who went out to shoot rock-rabbits,
was sitting quietly waiting, when suddenly,
from a large opening in a rock close by, he
heard great noise among these animals. He
sat still wondering what it could mean, when
presently an enormous snake appeared.
He describes it as being scaly, and having a
head like good-sized calf, a neck about two
feet and body of about six feet in circumfer-
ence its length about twenty to twenty-five
yards. He saw the reptile first draw its hind
body forward then, raising the front part of
its body to the height OF about fifteen feet, it
gradually raised itself over large krantz and
disappeared. He thought of firing but his gun
being loaded with very small shot, he was
afraid of drawing its attention upon him. He
also asserts that he was within fifteen or twenty
yards, and had good view OF the snake for
abont five minutes. A party OF hunters went
out from the village the ensuing day to hunt
the snake hut did not find it, which perhaps
was not very surprising.

Still wasting to-day,
