The Court House site-Tax Payer
Protests.


EDITOR HERALD:-The subject Of the
location Of the proposed new Court House
having been again adverted to in your
Issue Of the 7th inst, and the list Of req
sons given why it should not be built on
the Stevens lot, / wish to add my pro-
test against the location. II is surpris-
ing that more public expression is not
given to the almost unanimous opinion
among the people adverse to the pro-
posed site. 1t is hard to find one who
can give single argument in its favor,
while every reason can be given against
1t. Will the people lay supinely by and
let gross outrage be rerpetrated and
lament when too late tbs consequences
Of their folly
know very well. Mr.. Editor, your
views on the subject, but nevertheless I
cannot be convinced by your arguments
in favor Of the location.
The jail should be separate building
removed from the Court House. The
idea Of jail and Court House combined
strikes one as incongruous.
Lot another site be secured and the
Stevens lot be retained by the county.
Some use will be found for it, or II not it
can be sold any time, perhaps at profit.
The Court House at Denver occupies >
whole square. the same relative distance
from the business part Of the city as the
Fifth Street Plaza, to the ratification of
the people generally. and the building,
which is magnificent one, is the pride
of the people of that city, who have SO
many fine buildings to point to. We
might well profit by the example of the
Qneen CT y Of the Plains in this regard.

Sidewalks.

EDITOR HERALD: l have read your
able article on streets and their condi-
tion with great interest, as therein you
REUTER- the sentiments Of an entire COM
munity. But greater and more neces-
safy improvement is still overlooked,
viz, the sidewalks. To say nothing of
the miserable sidewalks in the resident
portion Of our city. to endure such walks
in the business portion is an outrage.
Look at tho stretch Of walk in front of
Baldwin's property on Spring street;
look at the wretched walk on Court
street, from Main to Spring. With each
step the water covers ones shoe. These
things should no longer be permitted.
If property owners refuse, after notice,
to build sidewalks it is the city's duty to
do co and hold the property liable for
the expenditure We look to you edi-
tors to champion our cause, and for you
to raise your voice in this matter, daily
If need be, until the desired necessary
comfort for foot travellers is completed.

The Dog Cured Himself.

Aspecial dispatch from Williamsport,
Pa, contains the following remarkable
snake story: John Davis and George
Miller drove from Collinsyille to this
city. When they were crossing the
mountain at place known as the Old
Hermit's, a valuable coach dog which
accompanied them ran off into the woods.
Soon afterward they heard him yelping
in peculiar manner. Both men jumped
from the wagon and hurried in the di-
rection of the cries. They came in sight
of the dog in hollow and found him in
a fight with several rattlesnakes, which
surrounded him on large fiat rock, and
struck him from every side. Miller and
Davis each seized long club and went
to the dogs assistance. They killed
eleven rattlesnakes, and many others
escaped among the rocks. The largest
one was four feet long and had seventeen
rattles. While the men were busy cut
ting off the rattles of the snakes they
had slain, Miller was overcome by the
peculiarly offensive odor that character.
ICES rattlesnakes, and Davis was obliged
to help him away from the spot. 1t was
several minutes before he recovered
fromSthe effects of the poisoned air.
The dog was nowhere to be seen. Davis
went back into the woods to look for
him. In passing by the spot where the
snakes had been killed, he saw number
of live ones which had come out of their
holes among the rocks, gliding around
their dead companions, springing their
rattles and every motion denoting fury.
Davis beat retreat, and went OFT in
another direction, calling his dog. Sud
denly he came upon the dog with lib
body imbedded in q mire hole in
swempy spot. Its head alone was above
the surface. Dogs bitten by rattlesnakes
iustinctively seek such places and bury
themselves in the mud. Old snake
hunters say that if a dog is able to lind
swamp mud and covers himself with it,
it will invariably draw out the poison:
Davis left his dog in the swamp, and
drove on to this city with Miller. Last
evening the dog arrived home, apparent
" none the worse for its encounter with
the venomous reptiles, although it must
have been bitten by them many times.

How Success is Won.

George Stephenson, unable TO read the
alphabet till he was eighteen, working
in the coal.pits fer six.pence day, and
mending the boots and patching the
clothes of his fellow-workmen in the
evenings to earn few extra pennies
that he might attend night school, is
good illustration of what poor and
ignorant boy May become. Never idle,
never above doing the commonest work,
never an ale drinker, as was the custom
among miners; he showed the fine quail
ties of his nature by giving the first
money which be ever earned, one hun
dred and fifty dollars, to his blind father
that he might pay his debts.
When he became an engineer and pro-
jected railroad from Manchester to
Liverpool, the people said che is mad.

by a large committee of the House of
Commons. This was one of the ques.

will it not be in an awkward situation 2"

miles an hour, and so the inspector had

During the. next ten years., being en-
ployed to open up railroads in every di.
rection, Stephenson became renowned
and wealthy, the friend of Sir Robert
Peel, owner Of large country. seat, and
the pride of England. He declined the
honor of Knighthood. His famous son,
Robert, said Of him, "His example and
