The vicinity Of Tsubodani in the dis
.trict of Kita-uwa, lyo province, has long
suffered from the ravaEes caused ny n
serpent among the poultry tribe OF the
locality. The serpent is said to be one OF

only tremendous-size and mas so iar

which many have lately been formed by
the villagers of the surrounding locality
who are determined to make quick work
of the reptile on sight. The very vague
ness of the statement Is apt to cast a
doubt on the reality of the whole affair,
but it's truth must be assured from the
fact that the village directly concerned
has just adopted, In council specially
convened, n resolution Offering reward
OF 30 yen or so TO those who capture the
monster snake, dead or alive.
His Majesty the Emperor left the pal
ace. as already announced, on the morn
ing of the 26th at 1880, accompanied by
Her Majesty the Empress, who rode in
another carriage, and who went as lar
as Shimbashi TO see off the Emperor. Ar
irving at the Shimbashi station, the
Emperor, who wore the uniform of gem
Ell alissimo, was received with profound
respect by the Princes of the Blood and
many other dignitarieS, mintary banu
striking up the national anthem at the
same time. His Majesty, without taking
a rest left the station for his destina-
ton at o'clock in a special new train
which was lately finished and which Il

the Emperor. His Majesty's suite com
prised Marquis Tokudaiji, Grand Cham
berlain; Vice Admiral Yamamoto, Minis
ter of the Navy; Lieut.. Gen. katsura,

No silk worms in other parts of the
country can surpass those raised in HoK-
kaido in point of growth, or in complete
freedom from disease. In view of this
fact the demand for egg-cards made in
Hckkaido are on the increase year after
ear, with the result that the silk pro-
ducers of the island have found 1t nee
essary to greatly multiply the quantity
of the egg-cards which are being for
wa rded to various parts of the Empire.
Notwithstanding the fact that an eXcep-
tionally large number of these cards had
been provided this year by the SILK rals-
crs the entire stock is said to have been
nearly exhausted toward the end or
March last in consequence OF brlsk de-
mands from the interior. Under these
the Administrative Of
flee of the island is at present encourage
ing in every possible way the SILK IN
dustry of the Island.
