RATTLESNAKES ABOUND.

Schoghticoke is teeming with reptiles
 this spring. Already 6l ratUlesnakes, a dozen or so copperheads, and numerous
 black snakes, one six feet long, have
 been killed. George Cogswell has two
 imprisoned rattlers at his home, which
 he is only too happy to show his visi-
 tors. This snake story is not at all
 .sfshy." but youched for by honest, tenn
 perate men, some of them total abstain
 CTS. One of the strictest temperate men
 of the crowd, who have turned out to kill the reptiles, himself makes the
 statement that he stumbled and lit on
 his feet directly over one of them, the snake all the while singing his warning
 rattle. We do not know what he would have done had he been bitten, for he has no fondness for the popular cure, but fortunately neither he nor any one else has been and we trust will not be bitten. The late frosts this spring have injured the peach and apricot trees in many parts
 of the town. Apples do not promise to be as plentiful as usual this year.

BEGINNING WORK ON THE WATER WORKS.
 A large number of men and teams com menced work on our new water works at the Scuppo hills, Monday, the 7th. Some of our friends are. sanguine that the works will be supplying our people by the Fourth of July, and that we shall in. clude in our Fourth of July celebration that suspicious event also. This would be particularly gratifying to the writer, who has advocated the project in the public prints for many years.

WOODBURY@S HIGHWAYS.

This town has somewhere about 100 miles of road to care for. Last year they were let out by school dis tricts, and the results were not highly satisfactory. This year they are being worked under the direction of the select men. Last week, Selectmen Horace Mi nor and Burton Shove, with eight men, the big road machine and four yoke of oxen were at work on the highway at the West Side. Representative Terrill was member of the party and this may explain why the road machine accom- plished such marked results, as he was guiding the machine. With this force the selectmen have covered two miles of road in a days time. The roads are be- ing worked, this year, in first-class shape, and the main part of the work will have been accomplished by the middle Of June. On Saturday Selectman Hor- ace Minor was doing valiant work with the hoe, while Mir Shove was encourag- ing the four pairs of oxen as they strug- gled up the hill. The prospect is shat the roads will be worked in better shape, this year, and at less expense.

. CoNGRGGArIoNAL CHURCH NOTE

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES. Rev MT Aver, the new pastor of the Congregational church, has begun his work here. He has already won the hearts of the people. He is a preache, of uncommon ability, his sermons being characterized by spirituality and power The church is to be congratulated in Sc. curing Mir Aver.
 Rev MT Aver was assisted in the morn. ing service at the Congregational church on Sunday morning by Rev Dwight c. Stone, who preached the sermon. MT Stones health is still quite frail and his physician recommends another years rest from preaching. MT Stone'has pur. chased an ''iron gray' which we hope will facilitate his strength and that he may be enabled to do many good years work for the Master, which he seems so well fitted to do. MT Aver is making de- eided Improvements on the parsonage grounds and tilling the soil to some ex- tent. His sister. Miss Frances Aver, has recently joined the home circle at the parsonage.
