Mr.. Bryant, by resolution, proposed

institution for the blind for the purpose
Of giving an exhibition before the legls-
lature, on the evening of February S.
The resolution was adopted.

CONCERNING FALSE PEDIGREEs.
Mr.. Bonds q. B. 112 puts 9 fine and
imprisonment in the county iail as
penalty for falsely advertising or repre-
sentIng the pedigree, stock or blood OF
breeding animals OF any kind.
TAXES.
Mr.. Bonds 81. B. 1877 would require
county treasurers to include In annua
publication of delinquent taxes state
ment of unpaid taxes for previous years
To this the committee on assessment anC
taxation have recommended to be added
statement of the date of unredeemed
tax sales. There is q provision in thu
bill TO require tax receipts TO show the
same facts; this may prove valuable; bu
taxpayers are already too negligent
This would grVe them renewed excusel
for negligence, It would add much Il
the labor of the treasurer's Office, and
much TO the expense of publication o
delinquent tax lists. However, the new
features might prove to be worth al
they would cost.
COUNTY PRINTING.
The committee on printing have re
ported q substitute to the one which
sought to create the new office of county
printer. It touches the keynote WheI
it saws that 'the printer (the designated
official county paper shall receive tn
rates which are or may be provided b.
law" This does not change the presen
law as construed by the supreme court
but puts that construction plainly int,
the form of the statute County board
now have no authority to contract TO
publication of tax lists and the like, q
any rate different from the legal rate
yet it is done over and over again, max
ing tax deeds invalid all over the state
Such law as reported by the printin,
committee would do good in informing
county officers of what the law is.

AKIss Blocked the Street.

Two old ladies were reluctantly bidding
each other good-by opposite the entrance
to. the Brooklyn Bridge when the crowd
was thlckest yesterday afternoon. One OF
them had hailed Third avenue car. The
car stopped, and the driver talked aloud be-
cause the bell was not rung for him To
start his horses again.
"Now, madam, look alive" said the
conductor, iimpatiently, while he fingered
the bell rope. "We can't wait all day"
"Hi Get along out of thatp roared
the driver OF a car In the rear.
"Hii hil hip yelled others as the line
rapidly heightened and the street became
blocked.
"Now, mum, viii you move onW shouted
the driver OF truck who wanted TO cross
the bridge.
But, oblivious TO the surroundings, the
two old ladies continued kissing each other
farewell. Finally policeman seized one
Of them and threw her into the car, and
barely rescued the other from being run
over by an express wagon. The car In
which her friend was rolling up town was
we'll on its way before she recovered sufil-
cient breath to tell the policeman that she
wanted to 60 TO Forty-ninth street, and
that her companion wanted to Cross the
bridge

CRANCH'S DOG.
The Interview Between the Canine and IN
AbIe-Bodied Rather.

Savannah (Ga) News.l
A few days ago Robert Cranch, Of
Lumpkin, was out hunting, when his dog
treed under q clayroot and was actively
engaged in scratching the game out.
Mr.. Cranch supposed 1t was arabbit, and
went to neighboring house to get a
pick to assist the dog In unearthing the
''varmint" While vigorously plying
the pick he was made little uneasy by
a peculiar singing noise coming from
down under the clay. He continued his
strokes Justify, whom the pick became
imbedded In n decayed root, as he
thought, and resisted his efforts to extri-
cate It. With might effort he jerked the
pick out. Its sudden release caused him to
fall backward, and at the same time the
terrible rattle of huge snake made hor-
ribe din In his ears. He made his escape
from the hole In double-quick time, and,
peerlng cautiously down amid the Inces-
SAINT rafting, he saw a large rattle-
snake impaled upon the pick and its
writings and contortions and ratings,
with the cleaning Of its fiery eye as II struck
out wildly and madly in every direction,
presented fearful picture. AS he stepped
back 10 get his gun his dog dashed quickly
down the hole and seized the snake, which
in turn struck the dog, and its long curved
fangs became entangled in the dogs ear.
The fight for few seconds was a terrible
one, for as the dog and snake rolled over
and over in confused heap, the dog yell
ing with pain the cries of his master and
the noise Of the snake made scene never
to be forgotten. As soon as the dog could
release himself he sprang out Of the hole
and fell painting and bleeding. Cranch
finished the Snake at one shot, tearing its
head away. He then examined the dog
and found him wounded only in ono ear.
To save the dogs life he quickly drew his
knife ane cut the ear of.
The snake measured five feet eight
inches in length, with twenty-seven
rattles upon its tail. The skin was taken
OIL, stuffed and hung up as perpetual re-
hinder Of that fearful adventure.

[seaford CAld.) Enter prise.I
On large farm nearly in sight OF the
quiet little town of fredericksburg, Nd, re-
sides a blooming young girl Of twenty
two summers, also her cousin, two years
her senior. Both OF them have beaux
whom their stern old father and uncle
does not approve Of. The lover No and
his sweetheart, unbeknown TO the other
parties, had made all their arrangements
to steal off In the still of the night and get
married. This was also the plan Of the
contracting parties No. 2.
The ladder was hidden back Of the gar
den for the purpose OF scaling the walls at
the proper time. In the bewitching hours
Of the night lover No. placed the ladder
to the window Of girl No. 2. The night
was dark Just at that time. She made her
exit out OF the window and into the arms
of her supposed knight, and was hurried
of to the carriage near. 10y. Not q word
was spoken. The carriage was gained
and the lash applied to the horses.
When they arrived at the house Of the
preacher, who was waiting to tlethe knot,
the gallant knight then discovered that he
had got the wrong girl. OF course there
were some salts and inward cuss words,
and the tug Of war came-how TO get the
weeping girl back undiscovered. Lover
No. met with an accident by running his
buggy against post and carrying away
his port wheel, and failed that night to
arrive at the house. The old man has
bought a thirteen-dollar gun, aud Is
nightly in ambush for the raiders.
