NEW SCHOOL WANTED.
The COlOred Citizens Taking Steps 10
Secure n New Edifce.

At meeting of the Wilson Lyceum,
held last evening at the II. Z. Church on
Eoff street, a petition to the Board OF
Education was circulated and numerously
signed, praying for a new school edifce in
place OF the present Anticipated structure

that the building is terribly out of re.
pair, damp and unhealthy, in a very IN.
convenient situation, and also that it is
unsafe and may at any time fall down, to
the great danger OF the lives OF teachers
and scholars.
The building hiss been used for educa-
tional purposes for upwards of forty years,
being the Oldest school house in the city,
and the colored population are as q unit IN
requesting q change. Another meeting
will be held this evening to take further
action in the matter.

A WHAT IS IT
Loose in the Wilds Of Muskingam
County, O.
A Monster Of Hideous hein Startles
the Staid Natiyes-The Country
Alarmed, and Armed Men on
the War Path.

Yesterday mornings Zsnesville Sigaa!
contained the following snake story, wnicn
is submitted as q by o-means-to-be deSpis'
ed addition. to the already large collection
of summer yarns of a like nature:.
A few days ago a young man named WIN.
Winters, who resides in Perry township
was directed by his father to go out into a
certain field on the farm bordering on Big
Salt Creek and dig ~laurels, the father desir'
ing to abolish the growth OF this useless
shrub.
The Young man armed himself with a
double barreIed shot gun aud mattock and
proceeded to the place, which was on a hill
side and a wild looking and romantic place
with everything indicating the haoitation
of
POISONOUS REPTILES
and wild and vicious animals.
The Young man set his gun against the
tree near the foot of the hill, and stepping
of a distance of some sixty feet, began TO
dig up the laurels. Presently his attention
was attracted by a rustling noise in the
bushes above him, and looking in that dl.
rection he presently discovered the head
OF a monstrous looking beast or reptile, he
could not tell which.
LOOMING Up ABOVE II ;
II at once started toward him with its
mouth thrown open, until the jaws APP
peared 10 be twelve inches apart, display
ing a red, forked, poisonous tongue aud
ivory looking teeth two inches long. The
beast or serpent, or whatever ii was, whis-
tied and roared in q frightful manner, and
came plunging on toward him with green
glaring eye.balls protruding from a mas
sive head at least twelve inches broad, and
a mouth sufficiently large to almost swal.
low his body whole.
Winters Became frightened and rushed
for his gun, upon reaching which he turned
and fired one barrel
INTO THE MONSTER,
which turned its direction. He watched
its half.serpentine, half-leaping movements
for a few moments, when it ran up a large
poplar tree and entered a hole in the body
OF the tree.
Winters hurried home and notified not
only his own family, but a number
OF neighbors, OF the strange and alarm
ing sight he had seen, and a posse of them,
armed with axes and guns, repaired TO the
scene. After a consultation they deter
mined to cut the tree down, and while two
Of them did the %chopping the balance OF
them stood guard with their guns leveled
on the hole where the
BRUTE OR SERPENT
entered.
Their laoOr was in vain, however, as a
thorough examination OF the tree after it
had been felled disclosed the fact that the
monster hard escaped before they arrived
there.
Mr. Winters say that the beast or reptile
he saw was from eight to twelve feet long,
with a tody as large as a telegraph pole. 1t
had legs about four inches long, a brown
body that was hairless, and a head shaped
like a shark.
The neighborhood is considerably
alarmed about the presence of this strange
production of nature, and Will spare nc
means to capture it.
Mr.. Winters is a perfectly reliable young
man, and while his. story sounds a little
Nfshy, il must be believed.
