A Jumbo Snake.

A correspondent of The Cleveland Her
aid at New Comerstown, o., writes:
The largest serpent ever heard of in this
section has just been seen lear this place,
and from the description given by the
observer it certainly is a monster. Isaac
Robinson, a sober and Industrious citizen
of this town, while clearing a strip Of
woods on the old Nugent farm, about a
mile southeast of here, says he saw lying
on a log this huge serpent, fully as long
rs a fence rail, and having a body of
enormous size, being thicker than his
arm. He attacked it with a pitchfork and
it ran in the hollow of the log, and on Mr.
Robinson's running a pole in after it the
huge reptile became enraged and darted
out, knocking the pole from Mr.. Robin
sons hand and throwing it down the hill.
His snakeship then almost few down the
hill, and went SO swiftly that it made a
humming and buzzing noise as it flashed
through the weeds and bushes, with its
enormous head several feet above the
ground. Mr.. Robinson says it parted the
bushes before it and made a track like O
%sledrunner. He was very much frightened,
and says it was the biggest snake he ever
saw. 1t is supposed to be the same
snake which was seen in the swamp on
the Nugent farm just ten years ago, and
which was trailed from the Tuscarawas
river by the furrow it left in the corr
field through which it crawled. 1t il
certainly the largest snake aver seer
alive in this part Of the United States.

The Number Of Arrivals at the Port
OF Alpena During 1888.

The custom house books at Alpena
show that during the present year
there has been $50 arrivals and
clearances of vessels at this port. The
custom list comprises only ffty-three
of the steamboat arrivals, as most of
them had through clearances and did
not report at this port. These steam
boats that did not report made 542
arrivals, thus making the number of
arrivals of steamboats,, steambarges,
sailing vessels, etc, during the year
1883, amount to LIP. In addition
there was considerable number of
vessels that carried lumber from this
port, and which did not report here.
If these could be obtained the total
number of arrivals would amount to
over 1000.
The first clearance this year was on
April Goth, and the first clearance of
the preceding year was on April
LIST. The last clearance this year was
on December 1st, and the last clear
ance Of the proceeding year was OH
November 30th. The season of navi-
CATION this year was Is days shorter
than the preceding year, and the
number of arrivals, as per custom
house report, was eighty less this
year that of the year preceding.
ROUND TRIPS OF STEAMBOATS,.
The number of round trips made
by the various passenger steamboats,
that ran Oh the Detroit, Alpena and
Mackinac line, this year, was as fol-
lows:

as first class such claims as will cut
100000 feet to the claim, and the
estimates Of standing timber are far
more liable to fall short than to over
run, which is by no means the case
with candid estimates of Michigan
pine.
Eel river, Little river and Mad
river are the streams upon which
numbering is done in Humboldt and
some of the counties adjacent, Eel
river emptying into the Pacific six
miles south of Humboldt bay, the
heaviest timber being along the bot
toms. Humboldt county is semi-moun-
famous, free from rocks and the hills
and bottom lands will be valuable for
grazing purposes after the timber is
removed, as the country is well water
ed, there is never any drought in that
section, and the soil is good, being
chiefly alluvial, with such traces OF
marine found as indicate that there
was once the bed of the ocean.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson left Eureka
about the first of the present month
came by easy stages on the Denver
and Rio Grand route, the great scenic
railway route of the world; stopped
over at Salt Lake City, Colorado
Springs and Denver City, and finding
much to interest them all along the
line, were pleased and interested also
to note the fact that all through from
Eureka to Bay City there are indica-
tons of geaeral thrift and prosperity,
and in nearly every situation more ex-
tensive development and building
operations than ever before, and in
the major part Of the localities a gen.
uine business boom. Eureka has
about 5000 Inhabitants; State of
Manners, Michigan men and Canadi-
ans. The whole country is full of
the sturdy woodsmen of Canada, who
find their way to every locality no
matter how remote, where there is a
tree to cut, and to a shore man or a
Saginaw river man that bustling burg
is indeed very like home.

An Alpenian's Report Of the Redwood
Region.

From the Bay City Call
VIM. II. johnson, Esq, long prom
inent citizen of Alpena. who, repre-
senting few capitalists of that city
and elsewhere, left last June for Eu-
reka, California, for the purpose of
investing to a moderate extent in the
redwood timber of Humboldt county,
reached this city on Sunday on his
return from six months sojourn on
the Pacific coast, accompanied by his
wife who followed him in July, and
making their headquarters at Eureka
during the summer. Mr.. johnson
found time to wander considerably
through the redwood lands of Hum
bolt county, effecting some purchases,
and he returned in superb health, as
does also Mrs. j., they proposing to
take the first boat for home, TO talk
over, amid the social scenes of Alpena
during the long winter evenings to
come, the many pleasing incidents
connected with their peculiarly Paci-
fic trip. Concerning the
REDWOOD TIMBER,
Mr.. johnson, who has nearly all his
life been engaged directly or Indirect
ly in the lumber business, in practical
phrase, without assuming a monopoly
of knowledge upon any feature of the
subject, was kind enough to give us
some pointers which, VIC put into print
with the distinct notification that We
are liable 10 errors which, to those
learned in redwood lore, may appear
ludicrous from the fact that our inter-
view was too short to admit Of elab-
crate and exhaustive comment upon
