between them they managed to kill the
thing, which by its agility made cap
ture difficult, one not liking to get too
close to it. 1t covered square, when
standing, at least seven inches in di-
ameter, and its body was large and OF
different black. As the crates OF
bananas which the Brattleboro Fruit
company brings here in quantities to
store in l. E. Chase's cellar are carried
directly past the house, it is probable
that the specimen dropped from one OF
the crates and took refuge under the
house coming up the sink drain.

Delegate J. Fred Birrell, of this city,
and passed at the session of the
State legislature just before adj

The annexation case was decided
against the city and has been car
ried to the State Suprme Court of
Appeals. .
/ In the meantime, however, under
the terms of Mr.. BirrelPs bill, the
city may build high school on the

chimney of house occupied by a
colored family on the north side of
the street. Fortunately the inmates
escaped injury, although the falling
bricks demolished the roof and en-
tered the floor beneath. The Column
bia wagon with several men went
to the scene, as it was supposed fire
would follow, but after assuring
themselves that no danger was to
be anticipated from that source, the
members of the company returned
to the engine house.
