BULL MAsTIFF AND SERPENT.

A Desperate Battle, in Which tho Snake
Comes OF Only Second Best.
A most exciting fight between q bull
mastiff and a snake about four feet hve
inches long, apparently Of the dhamin
species, WAS witnessed early one morning
by a number of persons residing in a house
In Entally, says the Indian Daily News.
The gentleman in whose house the OCCUR
renee took place keeps q large poultry yard,
and the snake. intending, no doubt, to
make a meal OF one of the fowls or ducks,
was stealshily crawling into the yard, when
the birds, scentinR the enemy, began 70
crow and cackie and flutter about IN their
alarm. The snake had just caught a duck
when the bull mastiff. attracted by the
noise, running to the spot, sprang upon the
snake and seized IL close to the head. Act
ing on the defensive now. the snake re-
leased the duck, and, coilinR itself around
its antagonist, underworld to crush ~. ~
compelled the dog to roll over. but the lat
ter refused TO auit its hold. while with his
hind claws he struggled to scar she coils
off him., This he partly succeeded IN doing
and regained his feet. but the reptile once
more coiled round him, and 1T appeared
now as If the dog would be stIenaieu, sne
folds of the snake forming q double Ting
round his neck.
The ~wriggling of the snake and the
frantic struggles of the dog were now al
most terrible. and were all the more in
tensely watched from ths fact that no
help could be rendered to the pluoky
dog, who never relaxed his grip. Both
combatants rolled over q second time and
continued struggling for fully ave minutes.
while the dog paved up the ground all
round. and at last managed to make q slit
about a span long in the skin of the snake
by means of his claws. This was the be-
Ginning of the end. The dog once more
threw of the coils and rose to his feet. Re-
leasing his grip for a moment, he made a
dash at the head of the snake and com
pletely crushed il. Having disabled the
snake SO far. he tore the snakes body till
the reptile was disembowled. After a severe
contest, extending over a quarter OF an
hour. the brave dog gained q complete VIC
tory. Strange to relate, the mastltf, with
the exception of a large swelling in the in
side of his mouth, sustained no injury. and
appears to be doing we'll.

the direction which this construction
must take. The demand lor fruit, early
vegetables and similar choice products of
the soil has been enormously stimulated
within two or three years past By great
successes achieved in southern California
and Florida. The PeCOs valley, Ike that
of the Mesila section of the Rio Grande,
is one OF the most promising and the
nearest to great markets for all prospec-
tive fruit and gardening areas. The re-
cent visit of Jay Gould to this valley must
be considered in evidense of the truth OF
what | am writing. As railroad man
ager he has clearly foreaeen the approach
ing possibilities for this important class OF
traffic. And that he has so seen is large
y due to the sagacIous business insight
and persistent following up of his convic-
tions in that regard, which Mr.. Greene
has shown during his past tso years
operations. Other gentlemen have Sue
cessfully cultivated fruit and are still do
ing 30. Other farmers have produced alfalfa
and grain crops on considerable scale.
Other investors has courageously placed
their money and their judgment to aid and
build up the success of the Pecos reclama.

larger scale foreseen, planned and car
ried out policy of steadfast agricultural
development. That, it can be seen already,
has bad due effect Of lifting the whole
community over the earliest depressions
which inevitably come TO enterprises OF
this character The direct expenditure of
nearly $l50,000 in wages for labor, in
salaries for experts, in the purchase of
machinery and supplies, in their trans
portation to the place of use, in the build
ing of dwellings, barns, offices, hot
houses quarters for labor, ETC., and in the
careful purchasing and planting of the
best varieties of fruit trees, grapevines,
shade and ornamental trees and plants,
the most approved varieties of seeds and
the systematic carrying on of the most
careful cultivation over the largest area,
IS an almost startling proof of one mans
faith in his own judgment and plans.

Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusiyely proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like a stmulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but In the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla ovcrcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purihes the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.

Il present prominent member of the
state Board of Agriculture. He had
charge of the preparation of the pamphlet
published last year by the Board, setting
forth the resources and attractions OF
Vermont, and has done much to correct
public sentiment on that subject. He Is
fsrthest from an office-seeker, yet enjoys
the confidence of his fellow townsmen to
remarkable degree. He has filed nearly
every town and county Office without self
seeking. He has had broad experience
IN both branches of the legislature, and is
a level headed, business man, an instruc-
tive and convincing public speaker, pa
triotic and loyal Vermonter. He is en-
gagged in general farming with the added
speciality of breeding and dealing in meri-
no sheep. He is no kid-glove farmer, but
the genuine, horny handed, hard-work-

with and good representative of Yer

working each his own farm. He is re-

A New President for Dartmouth Col
lege.

Owing to desire to perform long con-
templated literary work President Bart
lett of Dartmouth College has sent in his
resignation to take effect next Commence
ment. The Trustees have created new
chair, that of Biblical Literature, and in
vited DIR. Bartlett to accept it, and thus
remain on the faculty. As he will have
to teach but a hundred hours year, and
will be released from all administrative
duties, he will probably accept. Presi-
dent Bartlett has made a strong and eff1-
cient man for the position which he has
held for so long. 1t will be remembered
that an effort was made some years since
by certain disaffected parties to oust him
from the position, but the strides which
the college has been making since that
time abundantly justified the trustees in
retaining his services as long as he would
give them. Always a leading New Eng
land College, Dartmouth has been lately
making matetial improvements which
places her abreast of the times in the mat
ter of buildings and equipments. Rev.
w. ]. Tucker, d. D., Professor OF Homi-
letics in Andover Theological Seminary,
and one of the editors of the Andover Re-
view, will probably succeed President
Bartlett, as he has been chosen to that
position with great unanimlty. Dr.
Tucker is in the prime OF life, is scholarly
and eloquent, enthusiastic and aggres-
sive, alert and progressive-too progress
sive in theological views some have
thought will give vigor and push
to the management of this time honored
institution of learning.
