Susduehanna, Sept. 4.-Farmer Wes-
colt, of Sherman, recently succeeded
in capturing a snake, or a pair of
snakes, hitched together like the
Siamese twins. The snakes have two
heads and two tails, and the rest or
their body is like that of a single
snake, with the exception Of slight
depression above and below, extends
the entire length. The bodies join
about six inches from the head. The
tails are each almost a foot long. The
length of the Joined body is two feet
nine inches.
The twins were first seen last sum-
mer crossing the road below the
house. Mr.. Wescott ran across them
when blasting n rock and succeeded
in taking it captive. The two snakes
are Jet black, with ~ yellow ring just
behind the head. Both mouths eat,
and in travelling seem to be of the
same mind about everything.

A TUssLE WITH AN EAGLE.
Tom Crandell, of Great Bend town
ship had a lively time with an eagle
near Summersville a few days ago.
While hunting he fired at an eagle
and broke the birds wing, but did not
otherwise injure it. Expecting to
make an easy capture of his prize, he
went forward. To mis- surprise the
eagle flew at his face, and had he
not warded it off with his arm, his
eyes would have been put out by the
savage bird. As It was. It gripped
his arm, and, despite his efforts to
free himself, he could not shake the
eagle off,
It struck Crandell with It's sword
wing, dug it's sharp talons through
his clothing into his arm, and used its
hAa lot 10 1nA 20 n
other hunter, a few rods away. He
came and killed the bird, and then
pried it's claws out of the flesh OF
Crandell's forearm and leg, which
were badly lacerated. Crandells
wounds were quite serious. He will
carry the scars for many day.

| the General Convention OF the Protestant
| Episcopal Church in 1855. They were never
adopted, and the use of them yesterday
was sanctioned by the Bishop Of Wash
/ ington.
The music for the occasion was furnished
| by the Marine Band while the regular
choir of the church was augmented by
choristers from st. Johns and Trinity.
Mr.. William a. Kirkpatrick, of Trinity,
was the organist for the day, and Mr..
Francis Edward Camp Of Ascension, direc-
tor. These rendered the hymns selected
for the day, and the Marine Band inter-
spersed the exercises with patriotic airs.

reference to the 124th anniversary of
American liberty. and to the special patri-
otto service of the church just completed
He then spoke of the conditions of the
past, the wilderness. the solitary place.
and the desert. To-day how changed.
The desert reioices in its waving fields of
grain and blossoms, with harvest broad
as the continent and brimming over into
other continents
The solitary place is vocal with the
hum Of happy cities and the shout of NOV
ing trains. and today ponnres illuminate,
making glad our independence Day, anu
for the wilderness there is gathering at
this moment, in State far out in what
was once the wilderness, but now holds
within its boundaries large a population
as the thirteen States in 1776, a Conven-
ton to nominate candidate for the Presi-
dency over fortyfive States and about
IS. 600. 900 people
What was the enchanted wand which
was waved over wilderness and solitary
place and brought beauty and gladness?
Was 1t independence and the Federal Con-
stitution? Independence made ready the
field. the Constitution gathered the har-
vest. 1t was republic of republics,
commonwealth OF commonwealths-that
was the enchanted wand which had
brought all these things about" The
speaker referred to the union of States,
and the system which inspired a loftier
patriotism than Is possible under any other
Government. THE citizens of the great
Republic are animated by two patriotisms,
two loyalties. These are not in conflict;
they cooperate. They are not rivals, but
allies. The citizen of Massachusetts loves
mis- State the better because she shares
in the glories and blessings of the Union
He loves the Union the better for the love
nurtured on the bosom of the Bay State
