| SNAKE RoMANCEs.-We shall sOoI
commence our summer series of snake
stories, and as prompter to our source:
of information we give the following
showing that no small yarn will dC
this season. We quote from the Werton
Mo-, Democrat: "One day last week
while "Dock" Hopkins was engaged In
cutting briars near Washburn's run
two or three miles above town, he dis
covered three black snakes lying close
together, their snakeships discovering
him at the same time. ~he doctor fed
the snakes pursuing him so rapidly that
he was forced to turn and fight. He
succeeded in laying them out with hi:
scythe, and upon examination they
were found to be Of the species known
rs the ~black racer" 1t is said they
can overtake the swiftest runner. The
three were placed at full length. touch
ing each other, and measured fOrty-twO
feet" This leaves no show for the
common, every day fibber.

THE CHoLERA.-This dread seourge
is sweeping from three TO five hundred
people away daily in Spain; it has
appeared i'm Southern France. and the
possibilities are that in will appear on
our shores in August. All the great
cities are very busily at work cleaning
up the accumulated filth, while the
smaller villages with hundreds of
fostering places of filth. are quietly
sitting by and guessing" that the
scourge will never get out on the
prairies. Ii did so at its last great
sweep, and even this city was not
missed. The time TO clean up is now
at once. and much of it is necessary.
Don't charge the unforeseen ways of
Providence with the death of your
darlings until you have removed all
disease-breed refuse from your
places. After that il will be time to
hunt up responsibility.
CITY BY WARDs.-The following are
the census figures by wards, as re-
