known citizen, but one who has for long
| time been in distressed circumstances,
died at Petrea to-day. We met our old
friend Channell in town tonight looking
for the Trustees, as Boswell will have to
be buried by the Township. One of
Elias Longs horses ''kicked out of the
traces" last night at Sternberger's corner,
as Mr.. Long was taking his daughters
home from Church, in sleigh, and it
looked as though there would be rum
away, but this was luckily prevented. -.
Some men are fools for the want of
money; some are fools for love; some
from other causes; but Jackson has a
young man who is fool because he is
natural born simpleton. This fellow was
'airing himself in a barber-shop last
night-giving a pict,.i1 of his moral (O
perceptions. He expressed the opinion
that houses of i'll fame were more desira-
BILE in community than Churches, and if
either had to be abolished, he would say
let the Churches go. And this man is
public officer, elected by the votes of in
telligent people!.. Some of our eX-
changes affect to doubt the truth of our
recent snake story, but we heard man
giving bit of experience tonight which
proves that our snakes are tough enough
to live in the snow-or anywhere else.
He once met in the road a snake of a pc
cular species, which have habit of rear
ing up on their tails to defend themselves.
He took big club, swang it around and
struck the snake-which was standing
almost perpendicular-sev times, and
couldn't knock it down. A snake which |
you couldn't beat to death with a club,
could surely stand a slight snow.
