UnwelcOme Magnetism.

In a recent lecture the well known electrician, Professor Nichols, was dem- onstrating the fact that an iron rod be- comes magnet by forcibly striking one end while holding the rod in a north and south direction. By way of illustrating his remarks he told how while yachting several summers ago he was sailing from the Isle of Shoals to- ward the coast of Maine when it was noticed that large mountain in Maine, landmark, had unaccountably moved several points away from it's natural position.
 Under the supposition that the com pass was being affected in some way everything around it was moved away; but to no purpose. The mountain re- fused to move, until finally an umbrella which was laying near by was removed, when the mountain quickly moved back to where it belonged. The um- brella as the owner walked along had evidently been tapped against the ground, which eventually caused the steel stays holding the cover to become quite strongly .magnetized. When placed near the compass deflection of the compass of several points had taken place. York Commercial Adver- tiser,

Snakes at Scrapeskillet.

Near Scrapeskillet, Ind, the swamp lands are so infested with snakes as to be positively dangerous for travellers. Friday, while a farmer and his wife were driving in wagon, they met three large snakes in the road, which not only refused to turn out to one side of the road, but showed fight. They were finally beaten off by the farmer after considerable trouble with his mules, which were almost crazed with fright.
 On the same day physician from Yanleetown, driving in road cart, was confronted by a number of snakes in the road at the same place. His horse became frightened and ran away, leaving him at their mercy, and but for the timely assistance of passers by he would have doubtless been bitten to death. As it was he had a severe tus- sle.

 haint never writ for a newspaper before but as have been farmin all my life up to within fore months of the it. Now that I have retired from agri- kulchural persutes thot that I would take mi pen in hand and write you a short letter for you colums The spell lin may be leetle off as never was much at it at school and if you aint got time to edet it let 1t go jest as it is.
 My wife dien some to years ago tried to get along with hired girl but it aint no use so glue up farmin and am a boarding in your vicinity. Since have been here have seen some things and heard more an in the course of my writing I will menshun some of em.
 I like your town first rate all except the mud and the engines. get into the mud over my gaiters and l aint used to the engines and they keep me awake nights. Since have ben here I have got acquainted some and have ob- sarved that the young men who drether go skatin or fishin or do nothing all da, Sunday are dreadful anksious to get to meeting at night tho they never go durln the day. This thing Is unexplain- able to me jest yit but I shall probably ''get onto the reason why" fore long. They tell me the town is temprance but all the people in it aint by any means as I have observed with my own eyesight. If a keg was marked MT So-and-So on one end and Lager Beer on the other wouldn't say which was inside but I think could tell by the swash whether it was liquid or not. They tell me that the letters "C. F. D." stand for Canaan, Fire Department but I gess the depart nent ls more for the prevention of fires than for the stoppage of them, althoug I have ben told there is hose cart in Town but have not seen it. The town is lackin inde industry and that is al, used roller skating rink. A Tobacco wear house and milk factrey aint enuf for town of this size. am beginning know ''the boys" and have found ont that they will sleighride six hours on the coldest night if they have ''desirable Co.," and wear an expression of pleasure all the time, but they kick like steers if they have to bring their sister home from school if the aire be just little bi, chilly.
 I have made this letter more elaborate than I intended but there is few mort things I want to say before I clothes The musical organization known as the Band want to get rustic on them and learn to march between now and Decor ation Day as possibly they may be call on to do that self same little job. There has been considerable hoss tradin going on in the place of late and have dis covered that there are some people it. the place that can trade hosses. will now close this communication. wishing You and your paid-up subscribers a happy life in this world and the other. and vice-versa to the dead beat delin- quents.
