Snake Cures a Headache.

James carley recently suffered for
a week with a severe headache,
says the Danbury News. Every
possible remedy was resorted to
without relief. Finally one Of his
shopmates informed him that D.
B. Wilkes, would cure it without
fail. Mr.. Wilkes, who is a farmer,
received him cordially, and at once
assured him he could cure his
headache. He requested Carley to
accompany him to the cider.mill,
which they entered, and Mr.Wilkes
pulled out from beneath the press
a box covered with a coal sieve,
From the box he took a live
black snake and wound it around
Carley's neck. Strange at il may
seem, almost instastaneoasly the
pain left his head, and has not 70.
turned since. Mr.. Carley and his
friends vonch for his cure. Mr..
Wilkes also cures sprains and
swellings in the same way. He
explains the matter ou the princi.
le ofanimal electricity, which he
supposes the snake possesses.

The charges preferred before the
Town Council, against the City Ma
shall, involved two rather serious
accusations; the first was neglect OF
duty; the second, prostituting his
office to become a runner or solicit
tor for one OF the Hotels, to the
detriment of others. The first charge
was not fully sustained in evidence,
the latter was, and by we'll known
and law-abiding citizens. The record
Of the Town Council dosen't show
what was done with the matter, but
we have no hesitation in saying that
the Town Council should not per-
nit an officer whu is paid by the
taxes upon every mans property
and business, to ase that office to
the detriment OF one and the
benefit OF another. Let that officer
er confine himself to the public duty
he is paid for, and let the hotels en-
ploy their own runners.
In company with Julius F. Web
stcr, road supervisor of the road dis
trict extending from the north line
OF the corporate limits to the Albion
town line, we have been over the
road and examined the work he has
been supervising for the past three
or four weeks. At least four-fifths
OF the entire road has been turn
piked and o finer road when new we
have never seen. To Cresco this Is
q most important thoroughfare, q
large amount OF produce being trans
pol ted over it to our market and i'm
mense quantities OF our lumber and
merchandise going out over that
road. Much Of the ground is natur-
ally moist and spouAy, and until 1t
becomes thoroughly packed and the
depressions which will naturally
come from uneveness in settling,
to protect and preserve 1t from 60
ing to ruin, will require more money
and work than belongs 70 the dis
triet. In the work as fur as it has
gone Mr.. Webster has already ex-
pended more than the work and the
money belonging there, and in the
course Of four or five weeks, the ruts
and depressions should be filled to
protect it from the fall rains. To do
this more means must come from
some source, or much that has been
80 well done will need to be done
again next year the road never be-
coming under such method what il
should be.
