"RepopuIating Vermont.

Some OF our southern contemporaries in
noticing the effort being made 10 re

stand why the Commissioner OF Agriculture
OF that State has not made an effort to Sc
cure negro emigrants from the southern

Gates of negro equality in public Affairs and

A PET SNAKE.
Over Which an Indiana Man Has Won
derfuI influence.

A Noblesville Qnd. special says Elwood
Hiatt, of this county, has developed a
strange love of pets. He is bachelor,
thirty-two years old, and mechanic
of fine ability. Cupid's darts have left
him heart-whole, and he is Therefore FREQ
to bes.ow his love upon beasts, birds, and
reptiles. His pets are sufficiently numerous
TO make respectable menagcrie. His
influence over wild creatures Is marvellous.
The most filthy and dcstable one in his
collection. and upon which he bestOws the
most care is q snake, of the CoLtbtT Con-
sirtciOr species. He captured it last March,
and il is nearly seven feet IN length. While
at his work IT is confined in a rough cage.
When he comes near the cage the snake
recognizes his footsteps before he can be
seen, and exhibits signs of JOY and desire
to meet aud fondle its charmer.
When given its freedom il Will coil itself
about its keepers limbs body, and neck.
If a stranger makes feint of assaulting
the man, the snake becomes enraged,
loosens its coils, drops to the ground, and
at once takes the positions for fatal CON-
bat. Upon the disappearance Of the as
sailant, stroke of the hand and word
from its owner at once restores its good
humOr, and 1t again resumes It's exhibition
of affection. Its chief food is bread and
milk. which it eats much as a kitten does.
1t IS also fond of mice. frogs, and birds, all
of which must be given TO 1t while living,
else they will not be eaton.

vNcENsns. IND, August l9.-The most
Gtrocious attempt at traln-wrecking is re-
ported on the New Evansville and Rich
mond railroad, in the course of building
through to Elnora, about four miles out Of
Odou. Some misercants had placed a lot
Of rails upon the track with the intention
Of wrecking the first train that came along,
but several persons OF the town of Odon
borrowed hand-car TO go TO Elnora on q
railroad at terrible rate when the car
struck the obstruction, knocking the hight
structure into the air and throwing the
passengers in every direction. They were
all more or less injured. The attempted
-wrecking was thus averted.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatchl
MARION, Va, August II, 1889.
The sun came up this morning bright
with not n cloud TO intervene. 1t Is quito
cool and the prospects for fair weather are
good. Such summer has never been seen
in this section. IL 10 now the middle Of
August and there are fields of grass I'M
mOwn. A second crop has come up through
the first one. and the yieldmay yet be good.
In our county the corn crop will be
abundant. So taking all things into the
account the farmer IS still on top. May
lie be prosperous. Upon HIM all other
classes of society depend for support.
In this connection 1t IS proper TO
say that our section Of the State is
particularly an agricultural and grazing
section. We are glad that the farmers are
represented on the State ticket. There is
no better farmer or nObler man than Major
! TYLER 10 be fOund in Southwest Virginia.
While We would have been highly pleased
TO have him on the head OF the ticket yet
we are satisfied with the choice Of the con-
yention and will work for Captain McKin-
ney with q will. We feel that a worthy
man has been honored as our standard
/ bearer. Captain Mckinney deserved tho
nomination, and the convention properly
conferred upon him the province of being
: leader IN the heated strife that Is 10 usher
in another political contest in Virginia.
The Democratic party is still power in
this land, and Is destined to ever so remain.
Our Circuit and County Courts will both
sit next Monday. A good deal of impor-
tant business will come up in the Circuit
Court. Judge Kelly, although quite an old
man, is apparently in good health and more
vigorous than usual.
There was quite stir in town this week
caused by the lodging il jail OF q man by
the name of lilly. he is supposed TO be
| the murderer of woman IN Carroll county.
| Two men. known as Texas Harry and Ken
lucky Bill, captured him in Ashe county,
n. c.. and brought him here for safe-keep-
ing until the authorities of Carroll have an
opportunity to identify and take charge Of
him. He is also charged with the murder
of q man in Tazewell county last spring.
The prisoner is very reticent. But little
can be ascertained as TO his acts and doings
heretofore. but from all that can be gath
cred he is the man whom they want in Car
roll He decoyed a woman and shot her,
