Murder For the last two years many
sheep have been killed in this neighbor-

However, the mutilation and murder of

Siaakes.-A very particular friend of
ours, living on the upper Alexsanken,
while not strict political Prohibitionist,
but man Of good moral makeup, one
who has never been known to prevaricate
or even tell tough story, assures us that
on the Goth Of January last, the coolest
day of the season, at about A. NJ, the
wind at the time blowing 40 mile per
hour blizzard from the northeast and the
mercury standing 90 degrees below Mount
Airy, that he went to the creek, as usual
on extremely cold mornings, to cut hole
in the ice for the cattle to drink, and as
be was chopping was greatly surprised to
see what he thought to be common
water.snake, about % feet long, skipping
nimbly about upon the ice. He deter
mined at once to kill 1t, and in making a
pass at 1t with the axe, slipped, and the
result of the first blow was sound fall
for himself. He thinks some invisible
object knocked his feet from under him.
At any rate, he says when he struck at
the snake it gave shrill whistle, and he
was down, and before he could get up the
ice was literally covered with snakes, and
something like huge rope Of great length
had been dragged over him. Scrambling
up as speedily as possible, he ran home
for bis gun, but on his return every snake
was gone whence it came, and whittier
they went be knoweth not, for he says
there was nowhere to be found hole In
the ice or earth large enough wherein to
stick pin, and his opinion is that 1t was
the great sea. serpent of which we read SO
much in the New York papers, taking an
overland route from the Delaware Bay to
the Hudson River by way of Mount Airy,
and that it bad divided itself into many
sections, the more readily to get around
the short bends OF the Alexsauken.

The Election Law.
The election law passed last Winter
shows that important additions have been
made to the duties of election officers,
and ignorance Of the law is no excuse for
not complying. Among the duties of the
election officers, as prescribed by the
law passed at the last session, are the fol-
lowing: "On the day of election, besides
the usual poll list, register shall be
kept of all the persons voting, which reg
lister shall be transmitted to the County
Clerk, to be filed 10 the Office" The In
spectors are required in all cities to con-
vey to the City Clerks Office, without
stoppage, the ballot-box after it has been
properly sealed in accordance with law,
and to this end the City Clerk is required
to keep his Office open from the time the
polls close until all the boxes have been
delivered.
