to the fifth count in the indictment.
He said IL was for the same offense as
that charged in the first count, lar
ceny and obtaining goods urder false
pretenses. There were also two dis
tinct crimes charged in different
counts of the same indictment.
Judge Garrett replied If the same
were fact, they could be properly

the court considered the counts as
different aspects of the same facts.
The demurrer was overruled and the
prisoner was called on to plead again,
and his changed his pleas to mot

STORIES OF THE IMPROBABLE.

A well-husbanded lady is now residing
in the State Of Arkansas. She is sixty
five years of age, and is living with a
courageous man who has assumed the
position of being her fourteenth husband.
1t is said that in the hall of her house
there are thirteen pegs, upon each of
which hangs hat duly labeled as the
property of one of the defunct husbands.
A child with two tongues is said to be
living at Yonkers. The second tongue
has grown from the root and on top of
the first. The mother first noticed it
when the child was three days old. 1t
was then quite small but is now nearly
as large as the real tongue. The anterior
part of the upper tongue looks natural
but the posterior part is CONSTRUCTED and
round, giving the unnatural growth
pear shape. The child. now two years
old, has never experienced any difficulty
in swallowing its food or breathing, looks
natural in every other way, and has
always been healthy.
Much interest has been caused by the
discovery of tusk of a huge mastodon
by W. Hazleton on Holland creek, about
FIVE miles from Centerville. The recent
rains caused the creek to wash out to
depth Of twelve feet from the surface and
exposed to view tusk about six feet in
length by nine inches in diameter in the
shape of seml-circle. 1t was snugly
imbedded in stratum of cemented
gravel. 1t is not petrifed, but seems to
be in its natural state, although when
first exposed to the air it Immediately
broke into small pieces.
A few weeks since, says the Stockton,
N. Y, Commercial, a johnson. street
grocer found his cellar over-run with rats
and bought common steel trap, which
he set in large measure filled with meal
and covered itup. Next morning he had
a rat and felt sure that he would soon
see the last of his pests. He reset the
trap and left it. Next morning it was
sprung, the meal was gone, and in its
place about quart of sticks and stones.
He tried again with like result. In
vestigation showed that the rats threw
sticks and stones in upon the trap until
they had sprung it, and then coolly de-
voured the grocers meal.
