All have doubtless heard af the last rose
of summer, but it was reserved for the peo-
pie of Water street to hear the last sleigh
bell of winter last evening in the shape of an
enormous COW bell which some eccentric
individual had attached to his sleigh If he
had attempted to clear the law by having
three bells it is probable that modern Poe
would now be needed to write his epitaph.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Nov. 29.-Andy
Austin, a 16.year-old lad, was relieved
this morning from painful position
in front of Smiths gun store, Wall street.
Austin had remained in fixed position
over an hour before it mas discovered that
he was powerless to move. His face
seemed glued to the window glass. He
was noticed from the inside of the store
from the CLASSY stare of his eyes, which
seemed bursting from their sockets. His
nose was fattened and his mouth firmly
set against the glass. Inside the window
was large rattlesnake which had been
on exhibition for some days. The snake
had coiled himself, raised his head and
charmed the boy. Only the intervening
glass plates saved the boy from being
truck by the reptiles faDgs. Austin was
pulled away from the window and taken
into Chuick's drug store. He seemed
to be magnetized, aud it was half an hour
before he could be prevailed upon to
speak. A number of people had stopped
to look at the snake, but none supposed
Austin was charmed. Boys often stop
there to watch the snake, but none have
ever before been held against the window
and subjected to the magnetic influence
of the deadly reptile. After the boy res
taken away the serpent underwent yari.

Bursting the Bagglng Trust.

CHICAGO, November ga special
from St. Louis says that the Jute Bag.
ging Trust is reported to be going to
pieces. Sales Of bagging by the combi.
nation have been far below the usual
fall average. In addition to the shrink
age in sales another obstacle now con.
fronts the Bagging Trust, which causes
no small uneasiness in its ranks. There
are in all twenty-four bagging factories
in the United States, and of these six.
teen are shut down, having been leased
BY the "combine" and closed. The first
day of January these leases expire, and
the sixteen factories are ready to start
up again unless once more leased by the
trust and allowed to remain idle. So far
there has been no arrangement made
towards leasing by the bagging combine,
and it is probable that several factories
will start up after the opening Of the
new year, which is calculated to inter.
:fere considerably with the plans of the
combine and will naturally cause seri-
ous decline in the price of bagging.

An Important Decision.

In the Supreme Court yesterday q
decision was handed down, the effect Of
which will be 10 invalidate township
bonds issued in aid of railroad compa.
MES, and, it is feared, will result in dis
as.rons consequences Of q far.reachiDg
character.
The case in point was that of Jefferson
Floyd and others, taxpayers of Abbeville
County, against j. Wardlaw Perrin,
Treasurer Of that County, to have paid
back to them the taxes collected from
them on account of the bonds issued by
Ninety Six Township in aid of the
Greenville and Port Royal Railroad.
The plaintiffs brought suitin the Court
of Common Pleas for Abbeville County,
Judge Norton presiding, and that Judge
rendered decision in their favor, hold.
ing that the Act making the township a
corporate body and authorizing the issue
of bonds was unconstitutional, and,
therefore, the tax vas illegal and should
be refunded.
The defendant, by his attorneys, Benet
& MCGOWAN, appealed to the Supreme
Court with the result previously stated,
the sustaining of the decision of the lover
court.
The decision Was rendered yesterday,
Chief Justice Simpson filing the opinion
of the court. This opinion afirms the
Judgment of the court below, that the
Act was unconstitutional so far as it con.
ferred corporate powers and authorized
the issue Of bonds in aid OF railroads, the
opinion covering fifteen pages of foolscap,
and the grounds for the decision were
stated al length.
Associate Justice McIver filed a sepa.
rate opinion, fully concurring, however,
in the opinion of the Chief Justice.
Associate Justice MCGOWAN filed q dis.
senting opinion, holding that the Act
was not unconstitutional and the bonds
issued invalid.
The news of the decision spread rap.
idly last night, and prominent lawyers
agreed in stating that it's effect would be
to render worthless all township bonds
in the State, issued as were those in the
case considered.-Colunsbia Register, De.

A Letter from Columbia.
COLUMBIA. s. o., Dec. 4,

COLUMBIA, s. O., Dec. 4, 1883.
Mr. EDITOR: The Legislature seems
disposed to grapple with the questions
that may come up with fidelity to them.
selves and due regard to the best interest
.ofthe State. The character of many of
the bills that have been introduced
prove that the Representatives are trying
to satisfy a constituency TO whom they
have made promises, or that they are in
earnest to reform the Government. Bills
have been introduced to reduce the sala-
9ries Of Judges from s., 5000 to sS,0O0.0O;
also to reduce the salaries Of all the State
officers and clerks proratedly. Bills as
as to drawing juries have been intro.
duced, changing certain features that
prevail in the present law. a marriage
license bill has been introduced, and
thought probable to become law. The
Supreme Court decisions on Township
bonds to railroads is creating some dis
r
.qnietude on the part of the Legislature,
and are busying themselves to provide 8
way out of the trouble that they know to
exist in several Counties of the State.
Every man of the Legislature seems to
be without any recognized leader-all
are dependent on his own judgment for
direction. After the organization of the
House the several Committees we're
announced. Capt.sH. R. Vandiver, on
Ways and Means and Claims; J. B.
Watson, on Agriculture and Chairman
of Committee on Public Buildings; R.
P. Clinkscales,. Member of Privileges
and Elections and Education; j. r.
Glenn, Poblic Schools, Offices and Off
GERS; also that Capt. 81. r. Vandiver has
been made Chairman Of the Delegation.
He and Messrs. Glenn and Watson are
stopping with Miss Mordacai, No. 81,
Lady ST., and Mr.. Clinkscales at Nell
sons Hotel. It's very probable that the
Legislature will adjourn the 22nd of this
month, giving us the shortest session We
have had for long time. j.
