German. Seize Custom House.

LA GUAYRA, Jan. 5.-The Brit ish gunboat zumbador, formerly the Venezuelan war vessel of that name, which left here for Trinidad with number of prizes in tow, was obliged to return to this port on ac- count of the heavy gale blowing and strong contrary currents. The Germans suddenly landed force of marines at Port Cabello and took possession of the custom house and wharfs before resist ance could be offered. The excitement of the Inhabitants was intense, and they prepared to defend the rest of the town, when 1t was announced that the landing of the Germans was only movement to render the blockade more effective. This calmed the people, who believed the allies intended to occupy all the custom houses in the country.

THE ANCIENT OYSTER

George Anderson of Latah was in

of bed of prehistoric oysters ON the
top of the mountain near Latah. 1t
seems that some years ago prospectors
were digging in the mountain for val
liable metals and after getting through
stratum of red clay they struck a
bunch of shells. They did not know
enough of geology to know that the
find was of ancient oysters.
A few weeks ago Anderson had oc-
casion to use some rock about his
place and told his son to go up the
mountain aud get some. A few speci-
mems of the ancient oyster We're
brought back in the load. Anderson
looked them over. He could note the
rings which are also noted on the
oyster shell of today. Opening one, he
found instead of the body and flesh ot
