Wagner, o£ Lebanon, sends us the boss snake story—not only of the season but of all seasons, which we give below. It is rather a choker i this hot weather, especially as it couvs j from a suspicious neighborhood, where j they .invoke the aid of spooks and spirits to indicate the locality of silver mines, and where they murdered poor old Joe Itaber to get a pile of insurance money, but we are trying hard—in fact doing our level best—to believe it all, and if we succeed will be ready to try any possible snake story that can be made, even if they would discover big sea serpents several hundred feet long on the very summit of Blue Mountain in Lebanon count. >r t> me convey an eers' language: "partly in Lebanon and pirtly in Dauphin county.'' Only one point in the story is a little rough to get over, namely how snake* could live in the cavity of a solid rock 7iJ feet below tha earth's surface, but history furnishes paraleU cases even to help us over this difficulty. A tradi tionary story 13 still current in this sec tion that a certain Mr. Immrl, a Ger man immigrant and early settler in our mountains here once astonished the verdant natives by stating that the bees in the Fatherland were as large as full-grown American sheep. When asked what kind and sized hives they had in the old country lie answered that they used the same kind of hives there as here, and when further ques tioned as to how such big bees managed to get into and out of such small hives the old philosopher replied that that was their lookout ." These Lebanon county snakes no doubt were as wise a.? Mr. Immel's Germ in bees. At least we have sc/ipture authority that snakes are; wise. We hope our old chum, the Doctor will send us more snake stories; and if the next one reads that some people down there have, snaikx in their lints we wont ask the lirst question about particulars: Live Snakes in Solid Rock. While engaged in removing the debris, after a blast/at the silver mine in in the solid rock, at a depth of fetft below the surface, i in which was found a nest of three snakes of an apparently hitherto un known species. They were about a foot in length, black as jet on the back, light gray on the under surface and as a distinguished mark each one had di reetlv back of the head extending a rouud the entire body a well marked and distinct ring or collar of bright, yellow. They were entirely distinct from any species hitherto known in the neighborhood, and their presence, so far below tho surface, and in tlie place where they were found is entire ly unaccountable. They were killed by the miners as soon as found, as tliey seemed vicious and coiled to strike. What do our naturalists make of this find? Three thousand dollars is Iheamount paid weekly to the workmen at the Bellefonte car works. —l>. H. Y.G. has cleared m,* face j and neck fiom yellow p itches ot over !2d years standing.

Great L 033 of Life by the Pow der Magazine—Horror at Mazatl in. From the San Francisco Call. Mr. J. P. Shaw, a resident of Oak land, who lately returned from Mazal lan, has given to a Call reporter the following account of the powder ex plosion which took place there on the 2Stli of last month: At twenty min utes to 0 on the morning of that day a little girl in the town said to her mother, 4 'Oh, mother, tlio powder magazine is smoking," and the instant afterward the powder blew up, com pletely destroying forty houses situa ted all around it. With a strange in difference to life the powder was stored in a vacant bail ling l ight in the cen tre of a block of thickly populated ten ement houses. It will never he known how many were killed by the explo sion, but at the low estimate of live persons to each house there must have been two hundred persons in the houses which were destroyed, and of these at least two-thirds must have been killed. The remainder were dug out by soldiers in garrison at Mazat lan. The houses wore built of a sun dried adobes and wore absolutely pulverized. Horses, dogs, burros, cats, fowls and other animal* without num ber wore destroyed, and besides the in i mates of li e houses a number of water carriers, who are in the habit of com ing down w ilh their burros from the mountain about tint hour for a sup ply of water, were hilled by tho explo sion. The "hock was ft It all over tho town, and the door of tl.o room in • T which Mr. Shaw was sleeping, nearly a mile away, was blown open and the key blown out noon tho floor. Mr. Shaw ran out upon tho verai.da and I saw the shy completely filled with ! ll mting debris, dust and smoke. The digging was carried on without any system and o\ •! on dug i boh? where it seemed best to him. It is probable j that many lives were 1 >st for want of > a littlo timely and fystematic work, j ihe cause of tho explosion is pretty |wt 11 ascertained. Two brothers, Mex icans, wore soon to go iuto tin? powder room early that morning, probably for the purpose of stealing powder, which j is as valuable as gold in that country. Shortly after out? of th."ii was seen to leave in a great hurry, running at the top of his speed, ami once in a while looking back. Tho Mexican had got about 1,0 )U yards away from tho maga zine when it blew up, but h< never stopped running and "got away to Up mountains, nor has he ever boon heard of since. It is bleived that after lie and his brother went into the powder | house he dropped the candle or set fire to something by accident, and that he ; was so frightened tint ho ran at once, | without telling Iris brother, who I blown to pieces.
