with curiosity, he noted the approach of

joined the z,alous watchdog at the

dences of being particularly alert. He
bounded back and forth about the patch,
barking necessarily. The storm,clouds
drew rapidly nearer. Suddenly one of
them was riven by darting tongue OF

followed that seemed to shake the earth.

for moment. Then looking about, he
discovered that the dog was gone. and
observed the band Of young colored
persons above mentioned lowering upon
a distant corner of the patch. The far.

coax or frigh'en him from his place oi

statement that President Cleveland
was dead-headed to Gettysburg

on paying his way, and was allow

A Neat Snake Story.

A snake. such as was never seen
before in this region, was killed a
few days ago by DAY Webb and
Constable William Wilmarth, of
Thompson, Susquehana county,
near Starrucca, N. Y. The snake
is nine feet long and seven inches
in diameter, with a peculiar fiat
head. Around this neck is circle
of shorl stiff hairs. The color of
the serpent is brown, with red
bands, about the body at intervals
of few inches. The snake was
discovered ON James fosters farm
by Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Vale and Mrs.
Thompson. who were gathering
greens. 1t was lying at the foot OF
small ledge, and had newly born
lamb about half swallowed. The
frightened women ran to Webb's
house and told what they had seen.
Webb and Wiimarth went 70 the
spot, and finding the snake help
less from gorging, killed it with a
fence-stake. They dragged it
home, and it now hangs on Webb's
barn-door, and object OF much won-
der and curiosity to the entire nsig-
