Hoffman, informing him that the hogs

Owing to the refusal of certain PEG.

been decided to EN- ploy men to go
around the city and turn offthe water
at each place where the rent has not
been paid. For some time the city
officials have been trying to collect
the over due rents, but in many cases
have failed, and the above summary
method was adopted. The work OF
turning of the water will be contin-

SNAKES IN EXPRESS CAR.

Express Messenger w. f. Turner,
on train No. AZ, on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. had an exciting exper-
fence during his run on last Wednes-
day, from Philadelphia to Pittsburg.
1t appears that box, containing a
number of rattlesnakes, was shipped
from Philadelphia to some point west
II was put in one OF the compartments
of the car, along with other express
matter. In some way the reptiles es-
capped, between Washington and this
point. Mr.. Turner was Mortified to
see the snakes crawling over and be-
tween the express packages, when he
went to that part of the car.
When the train arrived at this sta
ton, the messenger gave the driver
of the express wagon the packages for
Martins5urg, but said he would have
to excuse him from delivering the
manifests which were in the compart-
M ants occupied by the snakes, but
that he could go in there and get them
il he wanted them. The driver decid-
ed he would worry along without
them. One of the reptiles was killed
at Comberland by crawling through
a drain hole in the floor, and was
crushed by the wheels. 1t is not to
be wondered at that Mr.. Turner was
ratified, and that it was not until he
reached Pittsburg, and got them cor
rallied, that he felt himself the boss OF
that car
