DAMAGE: By FLOOD

A narrow section of country, ex-
tending from point near Mr.. Ter
ry's on Little Back Creek to Pinck-
ney on Jackson's River, suffered
great damage from flood on Mon
day afternoon. The neighborhood
between Mil Gap and Ruckman's
seems to have Jared worst, every
little spring run taking on the pro-
portions of a mighty torrent and
sweeping everything before it. APP
pie trees were up-rooted and twisted
to atoms, among the grinding rocks
washed from the banks. One gentle
man estimates the damage between
the two points mentioned on Back
Creek at $4,000. The water in the
Ruckman Gap spread from noun
tain to mountain, was several feet
on the yoting-house at that place.
and, when the current came to the
waters of Back Creek, beyond
Beulah church, it rushed on across
the bed Of that stream, toward the
Allegheny foothills and down the
valley, doing great damage to corn
fields, meadows etc.
The oldest residents of that SEQ
ton recall no such food In thell
day.
The rain lasted only about al
hour and half, but came down
lin hlindino torrents,

HORNED SNAKE KILLED.

Our veteran toWnSman, WIN. A.
Cunningham, has just returned from
business trip to the eastern part
of the county and reports the killing
of large horned snake on the farm
of Mr.. Edward Fleisher near Clo-
yer Creek. Last week while lit
tie girl by the name of Thomas was
passing through Mr.. Fleisher's farm
she saw in her path snake of such
unusual size and color that she be-
came frightend and hurried back to
her home and reported the fact to
some nan who happened to be there,
and he at once secured a gun and
returned to thespot where he found
his snakeship, and one shot did the
work. A careful measurement by
the man showed the snake to be
5 feet 9 inches i'll length and thick
as a large mans arm with his coat
on. In color it was jet black and
dappled with light spots. On the
point of it's tail was a horn-shaped,
hard substance nearly an inch long
and sharp as a cambria needle.
When approached the snake did
not make any hostile move, but
this may have been on account OF
the cool weather. The horned
snake is rather a rarity in Highland
and the appearance OF this one Gre
ated considerable excitement, and
number of reputable persons view
ed the corpse and can vouch for the
truthfulness of this story. Even If
this additional proof were lacking,
cold man Buns" naked statement
should carry coviction to the minds
of all doubling Thomases.

At o congregational meeting,

to the resignation of our beloved
pastor, Rev. w. S. Trimble, and
his request that this congregation

Presbytery to dissolve the pastoral
relation now ekistingl
That this congregation unites in
the request for the dissolution OF

bic only because he has requested

under Divine Guidance he can &C
compllsh more good for the Mater
in some other field oflabor. While
this church sincerely regrets his
proffered resignation, particularly
in view of his able, diligent, and Ell
Ifecient labor among us during his
pastorate of more than six years, We
liav aside all personal and selfish in

A BEAR?

That is the question--was II OF
not? On Sunday evening, two clti-
zens of the town saw black AMI
NAL come to the top of the hill
east of the cemetery, look over the
town and lie down. Unable to de-
eide what it was, they walked over,
and, when within a few hundred
yards, cit" got up and retraced its
steps. They say it had short ears
and tail and "ambled" away. They
were, and are still convinced
that it was small, black bear, and
they came to town to report.
Soon the younger-element was
all excitement and in pursuit. What
a pity it was Sunday! All the same,
a bold, cross bear at large, with so
many little lambs in the country,
ought to be killed, Sunday as 1t
was. so not few rushed to their
homes, secured pistols--from the
% caliber up--a few rifles and
shot-guns, and gave chase.
Soon there were numerous shots
above town, and word came in
that cit" had been shot in one side,
had turned the other, was shot IN
that side, also, then ambled on.
Later on, the fellow who thus smote
it on both sides, said he hadn't
it at all, but others declare they
had. 1t crossed the road between
the residences of VII .Matheny and
A. A. Shumate; it crossed above
Crawl. Lewis; it went up the hol-
low by Samuel Hevener's; it near
ly ran over one fellow in the Steph-
enson woods west of town, etc.
Some declare it was a dog, Others
maintain that it was certainly
bear; one fellow heard it "bawl"
when shot; another saw cit" the
evening before, and it was a dog;
another says that he knows it was
a bear, and any one who says 1T
wasn't bear is bare-faced pre-
varicator, or words to that effect,
The town is hopelessly divided and
cit" may never be settled.
If bear it was, it was a bold, bad
one, to come unannounced and UNI
| invited to the corporate limits, lie
down in Mr., Bishops nice green
grass, and go away without leaving
| its card or saying word:
While the incident must remain
more or less a mystery, and while
1t caused us to break great big
hole it the sabbath. In has demon
strated our war footing, our readl=
ness to meet an invading enemy,
and shows that marauders and
providers cannot amble around us
with impunity.
