A curious live cargo landed IN Ham
burg. 1t consists Of a collection Of
snakes and serpents made by the agents
of a naturalist in that city. For the
purpose of transit they were placed in
long cofiin-like cases, with holes bored
for ventilation and feeding. When nn-
packed they became much excited.
Some of the assistants, in endeavoring
TO recapture them as they wound them
selves round posts and stair balusters,
sustained bites, which. however. have
not proved serious. Some of the larger
ones also took to swallowing tho small
er fry. The demand for them from
geological societies, snake-charmers
and others appears 10 be considerable.

Dau Green, however, turned up

The deceased was about SIS years

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

Woods public school, Miss Wilcox,
principal, closed on Wednesday of
last week with an entertainment in
the evening for the benefit Of the
school building.
The house was crowded and the
audience cvinced great pleasure in
the well selected programme. Each
pupil performed their part well, fully
demonstrating that GAS the teacher is
so is the school,"
In the systematic and thorough
management of the Woods School,
Miss Wilcox has demonstrated that
she is possessed of all The qLalifica-
tons requisite TO the successful teach
or. In speaking Of successful teach
ing we cannot refrain from making
special mention of one recitation at
this entertainment, Street Musicians"
by Annie McGregor, a pupil of Miss
Tam. This recitation was faulllessly
rendered, cliciiing much praise for
the young lady and rejecting great
credit ON her teacher, as do all Miss
Tam's pupils.
The patrons of Woods School pur-
pose continuing the school longer.
We trust they will do so, as 1t is only
in this way a good school can be es-
tablishcd permanently.
Mr.. A. f. Lvnd, II postmaster,
has very mystcrirnsly disappeared.
Where, or how, no II is as yet able
to tell, but his absence Is of such
length as to cause a great many
strange surmiscs. HIS bondsmen are
uneasy and are beginning TO look into
the matter. W. will give particulars
next week.

FOUND DEAD IN BOAT.

On last Sunday Mr.. Henry Gauiier,
of West Pa~scagoula, had his attention
attracted TO a boat thai had been lying
at anchor for several days opposite
his residence. snd getting in his boat
and sailing around it, found an
old man of about sixty years sit
ling in il dead, and had the appear
ancc of having been dead for several
days. Mr.. Gauticr Immediately noti-
fed the proper authorities, who at
once Sent for the boat and had il
brought TO Scranton, where Justice
Krebs held an inquest over the re-
mains. There were no marks Of any
violence on The person, and the jury
therefore rendered a verdict of death
from causes unknown 10 them.
The old man, it seems, from his
outfit, was a trappcr, and had in his
boat nineteen traps. His boat was a
good one, luggcr build, but cat-rigged.
He also had a good supply Of provI-
ions, and il would seem that he made
the boat his home. There was found
oil his person and in his boat $3.50 in
gold and SO in silver. From the di-
rccti0ns on some express packages his
name was Dan Green and his boat
the Independence, of New Orleans.

lovers were very devoted to each other,
aud the Queen pleaded with her coun-

undesirable aud reason prevailed over

Ellenborough was presented with a

after tie manner of disappointed lovers

There are somc disadvantages in be-
