Look Out for the Counterfeit "V'S."

The secret service Office, in Des Mo;nes,
Iowa, issues the following warning: \
counterfeit S. United States treasury note
has been pu; in circulation. 1t is Of the
series of 1850, letter b., B. X. Bruce, regis
ter, \. u. Wyman, treasurer. The paper
is thin and soft, being unsized. There has
been no attempt to initiate the parallel silk
threads Of the genuine note. The letter y
in the treasurer'> name is a & in the counter
felt. The medallion Of Jackson in the
lower left corner ON the face of the note is
SO badly executed that very slight scrutiny
of it, taken with the general poor appear
ance and iibreless texture OF the paper,
should determine at once the false charac-
ter OF the note. 1t is evidently from the
same hands which produced the counter
felt S, L. S. treasury note, against which
the public WAS warned. Neither OF these
notes should deceive pei sons who practice
ordinary care in handling PAPER money.

Wool Market.

The wool market is remarkably quiet.
The actual amount of wool sold from Bo,
ton for the week has been less than for a
long time. Everybody agrees that the
market is dull The great cause Of the de-

facturers concerning labor The manufac-
turcrs hesitate about loading up with wool

their mills.

Rattlesnake Experience.

dove in its stomach. The one that Mr..
Gilbert killed had young rabbit in its
stomach. The snake was three feet long

Gilbert has been on the the place FIVE

snakes in that time. Last year one of
them came near killing him. The

drank a pint of whisky, and tied small
cord tight above the butt ioInt of the
finger. His remedy was timely enough
to save his life, but not his finger.
Surgical treatment was required, with
the amputation of the finger just below
the bitted spot. The upper portion
quickly assumed the varlegated colors
of the snake and the tip the shape of the
serpent's head. He was Frustrated q

The Hoop snake Does Exist.

KEoKUK, Ia August S.-The scien-
tifc editor of the Philadelphia Netos
asserts that there is no such reptile as
the hoop snake. He is certainly mis-
taken. That the snake is rare can not
be denied, but that it exists is a settled
fact, and it gains it name from the
habit of forming itself into the shape of
a hoop when alarmed. The hoop snake
has been frequently seen in Texas,
where curious creeping reptiles abound,
and while there is no authenticated case
of death from its bite, yet it is greatly
feared by the natives, and especially
the negroes. 1t is alleged that the
snake carries its in a sack located near
the tail, and that when alarmed it
promptly reaches for the weapon of
destruction, thus forming veritable
hoop. Stories Of its locomotion, in this
shape, are undoubtedly exaggerated,
but there is little doubt Of the existence
of the reptile. 1t is considered deadly
and the popular belief where it exists is
that its poison will blight tree. G.

Struck Three Times by a Rather.

A day or two ago, Mr., Joseph Jacq-
man, of this city, received letter from
a person in South Florida stating that q
day or two previous to the writing of
the letter, his son, Mr.. Edward Jacg-
man, who was in the woods in the
extreme southern part of the State. had
been bitten by a rattlesnake, and but
little hope of his recovery was enter
tanned.
1t seems that while walking along
through the woods he stepped into a
little cluster of bushes where the snake
was concealed, when it struck at him,
its fangs entered his leg. Before he
could get out of reach the snake struck
him the second time, when he tell, and
as he did so the snake struck him the
third time He was found and given
the best of attention, but was, at the
wriung of the letter, in a very critical
condition.
Mr.. Jacqman thinks hat his son, who
was well known in this city, is dead,
and that the letter was written as it was
in order to prepare him for the worst,

She KILLED the Snakes,

On Monday, towards evening, Mrs,
Robinson, lady over so years old, and
the mother-in-law of o. B. Mercy, of
this place, went out in the field to pick
berries for tea. While doing so she saw
two immense rattIesnskes near the wall.
Having nothing to kill them with she
walked quite a distance to fence from
which she SOCK a rail, and, returning to
the spot where she had seen the snakes,
she found that they had moved, and
were nearly hidden in the wall. She
placed the rail on one OF them and held
1t down, while she removed some of the
stones so that she could get ar 1t to kill
it, the other one in the meantime lying
cOiled up near by. Finally, after long
struggle, she succeeded in killing both
OF them. She brought their wriggliDg
remains home or the rail with which
she killed them. They were over three

DESKERTowE, H., August S.-While

snake In sheaf of wheat and while in
the act of binding 1t the reptile squirmed
from among the straw and bit him
severely upon the second finger of the
right hand. Upon discovering the
snake, Totten and his men who were
assisting gave chase, and with rakes
and pitchforks succeeded in killing it.
After killing the snake they at once
cut the flesh around the bite and admin
istered whisky in large quantities. Tot
ten was then taken TO physician at
