CAssvILLE, July Fittings had

which Dame Nature cut short by
giving us fine rain on Saturday
night.
The past week was the hottest
known for several years: the mercu-
ry run up to IS in the shade.
Farmers have most Of their hay
up in excellent condition; the crop
is a light one; the oats crop is a
good one; corn looks promising, and
with an occasional shower we will
have an excellent crop.
Preparations were made on last
Friday evening to take Job Lawlis
away, but his brother John, Of Mari
on county, gave bond for his release,
preferring to keep him here under
proper care and treatment to sending
him to the asylum.
One evening last week Lewis Hig-
gins having removed his boots stepp-
ed out toward the stable, when he
was bitten on the foot by a copper
head; he bandaged his ankle tightly
mounted his horse and went to DR.
Hood, who dressed the wound; he
suffered acute pain for five or siz
hours, but the bandage prevented
the swelling spreading, and last &C
counts he was recovering. For the
benefit of those who fall a victim tt
his snakeship, we will offer an effec
tive cure. Take a strong solution o
indigo water, use it as a wash tt
cleans the wound: it will allay al
information and pain.

have been the largest and most start
ling story OF the kind in the world
il it only had the necessary requi-
sites to command such an exalted
position, but these conditions do not

PEELED to take a seat just little in
the rear of its ancient and perhaps
wondrous predecessors. Having in.
dulged in so much penciling we shall
proceed without further delay to
state that one evening last week Mr..
Charles Cox, who lives on Coburn's
creek, killed two copper heads in his
house. After this he looked over
the battle field, and seeing no more
Of the enemy near, in due time re-
tired feeling that he was conqueror
Some time in the night his peaceful
slumbers were broken, and he from
some inherent cause imagined that
there was snake in the house,
What was he to do? or course kill
it. At that terrible hour darkness
reigned supreme, and even the stars
looked as though they were rejoicing
at his misery. However he soon
gathered enough courage to attack
his enemy in the dark. Jumping
out of bed he found that the snake
was not under the bed as he had
thought, but under his feet, As vet
there is no authentic evidence thai
it was hundred feet long, If it had
been it would have been a big one
Finally this night intruder occupied
position in the snake hone yard by
the side of his brothers who had
been as unfortunate as himself.

THE SEA SHOkE AT LOW HATES lit
excursions to the sea shore, provided
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, have been so successful and sc
cordially appreciated by the people
of this section that the company has
decided to run another to Atlantic
City and Cape May, on August 9th
AS heretofore the special train will
leave Pittsburgh at 900 A. M. run
ming through to Philadelphia in
twelve hours. Passengers after
spending the night in the Quaker
City may proceed to the shore on any
of the numerous trains of the day
following. The August temperature
of these points is proverbial for its
GOODNESS, the torrid heat of the dog
days yanishes before the fresh
breezes of the ocean, making life q
luxury to the loiterer by the sea.
A ten days stay on the shore goes
further towards bracing up the tired
worker than any other mode of recre-
alton, and one must go long way
to find pleasanter place for his va
cation than either of the resorts
mentioned. Sport and amusement
is plentiful, and time never hangs
heavy on ones hands at Atlantic OF
the Cape.
Excursion tickets, good for ten
days, to be used going only on spe-
cial train, but on any regular tain
returning within the limit, will be
sold from stations named and prices

SKATING RINK MORALITY.
bot Debate in the New York Eenate-Biu
to Regulate Attendance.

ALBANY, April 1.-THE morality of roller skat-
ing Kinks was discussed in the Senate. A bill was
under consideration prohibiting the attendance
of children under sixteen years OF age at
Kinks between a. m. and p. m, and pro-
hibiting females under sixteen from staying later
than D. m. at such Kinks unless accompanied by
parents or guardians The most vigorous attack
upon the Kinks was made by Mr. Cullen. a New
own district there was one of these Kinks which
was little better than recruiting place for
houses OF prostitution. lie knew OF ten
once happy homes that had been
ruined by Kinks. They were worse than
picnic gardens, which the police have stopped.
President of the Senate, who argued that the SEN
susl sound of music, the flashing lights and all
the surroundings OF the Kinks lured young people
10 their ruin. the assistance male skaters render
female skaters in putting on their skates was
dangerous familiarity, and he had himself on a
visit to one OF these Kinks In SYRIA
cuse, seen skaters put their
arms around one another. Flirting,
eoquetry and similar Establishments he believed
were ticed in these places ending In seduc-
csnIed at length on the evil practices connected
with the Kinks. The debate was all on one side
until Mr. Titus, of Buffalo. came to the rescue OF
the rinks which, he argued, were
the greatest moral and regenerating
agency of the day, as they were weak
other demoralizing resorts. The opponents of
the bill clutched eagerly at this straw and turned
the moral issue against those opposed TO Kinks by
l. sisting that they were supporting the cause OF
saloons which desired the suppression OF skating
Kinks because they were ruinin5 their business.
The bill was amended so as to apply to cities of
so coo inhabitants and was then laid over for
further consideration.

wAsHfSGTos, April ia committee OF the
citizens Of the Territories have waited upon Presi-
dedt Cleveland, and urged that he investigate the
charges OF corruption among Federal officials
which they stand ready to substantiate. They
have also urged him to act In accordance with the
plank In the Chicago platform that only residents
OF Territories shall be appointed TO Federal posi-
tons In their respective sections. The President
was very much impressed with the home rule
agitation, and has promised that the subject shall
receive bis early and prompt attention. II Is un-
derstood that Mr.. Cleveland has q well defined
and positive view on the matter, and has ststed
that wherever corruption can be proven that the
offender win be followed with prompt and sure
punishment. His appointments to Territorial
Offices viii be based upon q basis OF honesty eff

than one week off, and that week shall devote to
