 Judging from ths number of people who have visited this office to see that 151a inch section of snake which John Robinson found dangling from water faucet the other day and which we told about last week, everyone in Canaan and the surrounding territory either takes THE NEWS or borrows his neighbor' s paper. This snake is the real thing. But you would not expect to find the other kind in a temperance town.

 The Vault is UnIoaded. On Monday a representative of the manufacturers of the vault which The National Bank purchased, arrived here and the work of transferring the vault to the bank building was commenced. Two or three local parties partially de- cided to attempt the job but changed their minds when they discovered that the vault door weighs between eight and nine tons. The vault man engaged four horses and substantial pair of bobs belonging to Rhoades & Stanton and with the help of few men, soon had the door loaded and drawn to the bank. The balance of the vault con- sists of pieces of less weight which were handled with comparative ease.
