premium on the lot.
The next bid was from Honig 4 Shut
ter, of Ha2leton, who offered to take
$1,000 or $4,000 worth at par.
The board decided that they could not
consider the first bid at all, with its
many tails, and an effort was made to
dispose of them at auction. President
Mccarthy offered $500 worth to the high
est bidder, but as the audience con
sisted of only three reporters the auction
was not success.
As it was evident that the board could
not sell them at that meeting, it was
decided to meet Monday evening and
sell the bonds to the highest and best
bidder.
Persons desirous of purchasing bonds
should be in attendance tonight.

Among the passengers landed here
by the steamer'Werra from Genoa were
the members of the American pilgrimage
to Rome and the Holy Land, of which
the Rev. j. j. Cummisky, of Hazleton,
was one. The pilgrims had quite time
in Greece, whore they spent week in
the latter part of March. They We're
told in Egypt that they would not be
allowed through the blockade, but their
American energy would not be daunted,
and they boldly pushed into Crete.
When they landed they unfurled two
American flags which they carried and
marched ashore Their advent created
the greatest excitement, as it was ru-
mored that they had come to volunteer
to fight with the Greeks. The people
along the streets saluted the flags, and
the pilgrims while they remained were
the heroes of the hour.

of check and Daley went to Ashley TO
have it cashed. He succeeded in havir q
it turned into circulating medium, after
which he entered saloon where he re-
mained for some time. He did not spend
"a great part of his money, however. and
some time during the night he startc d
on foot for Sugar Notch The road be-
tween that town and Ashley is quite
lonely and about midway between the
towns Daley was stopped by two men
and ordered to hold up his hands. The
highwaymen ransacked Daley's pockets
and looted him of his earnings He saws
that at the time of the hod-up he had
on his person nearly the whole amount
of the check.
1t is the general opinion that the rob-
berry was pcrpetrated by persons who
know Daley and who were aware that
he carried his pay with him.

In conversation with gentleman who
has just matle a trip through western
Indian territory picked up something
new and interesting to me in regard to
the habits of the prairie dog and rattle
snake. This party said that few weeks
ago, while resting under a small tree
in the territory where there was dog
town, he noticed conmotion among
some dogs near him; they would run
up to place and peep Mt something and
thea scamper off. Looking to see what
was the matter. he saw that there were
about Is to 90 dogs around a rattle
snake, which at length went into one of
the deg holes. As soon as he had disap-
peared the little fellows began to push
In dirt. evidently to fill the hole up,
but about the time they got enough
dirt to cover the entrance the snake
stuck his head up through the dirt and
every dog scampered off to a safe dis
tance, all the time keeping up an in
cessant barking. The snake slowly
crawled to another hole about a rod dis
tant and went in, and then up came the
dogs again and went to work to push
the dirt up before them to the hole.
This time they succeeded in their enter
prise and completely covered the en-
trance to the hole, and then went to
work, using their noses to tamp with
and pou1ding the dirt down hnrd, lfter
which they went away. Ny friend went
to the place and said he was surprised
TO find they had packed the dirt in solid
with their noses, having sealed the
snake well to the ground-Forest and
