A SNAKE STORY FROM SAND SPRING.
SAND SrRrNG, July 10.-An ex-
cursion party that recently visited
Sand Spring, report having seen a
great many snakes. 1t was a very
warm day and may have been good
day for snakes. At one place they
saw where snake had crawled across
the road near the Preston county
line. His track could be seen very
plain in the sand and looked as
though a small log had been dragged
across the road. One Of the gentle
men Of the party went in search of
the monster. After following the
trail about 200 yards, he saw snake
as thick as mans body and long
in proportion. He did not get to see
it's head. He returned to the party
but could induce none Of them to
go with him to attempt to kill it. He
had nothing to shoot with and was
afraid to attack his snakeship with
club. A crowd is to be organized
next week to go in search Of the SER
pent. If captured he would make
choice speciman for Barnnm.

FRoM THE SoUTH-The subjoincd
items are clipped from the Courier,
published at Grecnvillc, S. c., the seat
Of Furman University, in which in
stitution Prof. Geo. d. Purinton fills
the chair Of Physics and Chemistry:
Prof. Geo. u. Purinton filled the
pulpit of the Greenyillc Baptist
Church on Sunday last, in the alb
sence Of the pastor, and preached an
excellent sermon on the office and
work Of the Holy Spirit.
A Ninety Six correspondent Of
the Abbeville Press and Banner
says: "The Baptists-and others
for that matter--are delighted with
their pastor, Mr.. Miller Of West Vir-
ginia. He has been engaged for
three months TO preach here and at
Fellowship, after which he will re-
turn to finish his collegiate course at
the University of West Virginia"
There remains room only to say
that the Trustees, encouraged by the
past session, and by the prospect be-
fore them, directed that for next SEES
sion one hundred dollars should be
added to the salary Of Prof. Purinton,
and one hundred and fifty to that Of
Prof. Cook, both of whom have been
faithfully serving the institution on
salaries wholly beneath their merits.
A MARION COUNTY MANS EXPERT
ENcE IN THE WEsT The Wheeling

good clothes and Carthaginian con-
tempt for his wife, whom he said he
had left, or rather she had left him.
