"The most wonderful den of j snakes anywhere, I guess," said Judge B. Jugg Wright, of Steuben 1 county, "lies off to the south off of old Steuben, in a big stretch of 1 deep, (lark woods in Potter county. Pa., known as the Black Forest |lt is a black snake den. A year never goes by that one or two im mense blacksnakes are not over powered by superior numbers o: lumberman, or bark peelers over there, as they are always prowling about looking for unwaiyteamstei> and unsuspecting persons afoot. I don't suppose there is another spot on the continent where such mon strous blacksnakes can be found. I don't known what it is that makes them grow so big, but my opinion is that the locality is so wild and hard to get at that the snakes have undisturbed opportun ity to reach a patriarchial age and taken on size with their years. I I believe that blacksnakes w uld get just as big elsewhere ii' they could only g<-t the t.im.c "There is no doubt in ir r mind that some of those lilac' Forest serpents were born long ' -fore this country was lirst settlec I have seen them with their faces as wrinkled as a walnut, and with long, gray hair on their upper lips. My brother-in-law, Squire Ilollis. of Woodhull. tells about one that: he killed down there once that had a funny looking lump on its head. He cut down into the lump six inches or so and found a flint arrow head at the bottom of it. There could be but one explanation of the presence of that .arrow head there. The snake had been shot by an Indian some time. As there hadn't been any Indians hunting with bows and arrows in that country for about three generations, of course the snake must ha ve been a lively native before the days of the white man thereabout, and no body knows how many years before that, either. Squire Ilollis is willing to bet that snake was a good deal more than a hundred years old, and it was as hale and hearty as a serpent could be. "I say Squire Ilollis killed that snake, but that is hardly a correct statement. lie was lumbering over in that region, and had a lot of logs banked for rolling down the steep slope into the creek. Acci dentally a log got loose, and away it went down hill. It had gone maybe half way down, and had taken on tremendous momentum, when this snake came tearing out from some place where it had been hiding, and rushed out in the path of that Hying log. There is no telling what the snake thought the log was, but he was evidently in a state of supreme fury at it.for he stopped and raised his head up and waited the coming of the log. The log kept right on and struck the snake with all the force it had ac cumulated. The crash was terrific and log stopped as if it had brought up against a rock. The Squire went down the hill and found the log canted up against the snake, and he declares yet that if he hadn't seen the collision he would n't have known which was the snake and which was the log. they were so near of a size. The snake was dead from the shock, though, and Squire Ilollis has never ceased to regret his foolishness in rolling it into the creek after he had cut the lump and found the arrow head. and letting it float* away without measuring it, because he never could tell how long the ser pent was. The Squire says, though, that if the snake could have been seasoned and sawed up it would have cut up into as nice a pile of sixteen-foot boards a foot and a half wide as any one fiver bought. That snake, of course, was an ex ception to the ordinary run of Black Forest snakes, and from what the Squire says, there isn't any doubt at all in my mind that it was the founder of the black snake family in that country. There wasn't a gray hair on him, though, and his teeth were as sound as a pebble."—New York Sun. Says Admiral Dewey. At Hong Kong, Admiral Dewey said: "I have the greatest enthu siasm in the future of the Philip pines. I hope to see America's ! possessions the key to (>riental commerce and civilization. "The brains of our great country will develop the untold agricultural and mineral richness of the islands. "We must never sell them. Such an action would bring on another j great war. We will never part j with the Philippines, I am sure, 1 and in future years the idea that ! anybody should have seriously sug ! gested it will be one of the euriosi i ties of history. "The insurrection is broken. There will he no more hard battles and the new era for the islands | that was temporarily delayed by | the rising will soon begin. Aguin aldo and his generals must be cap tured. and then (lie very semblance of an insurrection will cease." Card of Thanks.

"When God gives a man a wife and six children, he has done a great deal for that man. Rut when he gives a man a wife and a poodle dog, he has thrown off 011 him. These society women look upon children as a nuisance. I have i had some of these old society women shake hands with me and I had just as soon shake a dead fish's tail. Would not give one of your old sock-darned women for all the society women in the country. Between ihe cutting off the top of the dress for the ball room, and the bottom for the bicycle, these I society women will soon have no ! clothes left. Some people say you shouldn't speak this way before ! mixed audiences. You old sisters ' wear high closed collars around your necks. That's modesty and comely. But deliver me from the society women who wear their collars around their waists. You preachers don't talk that way, do you? You talk about the sweet bye and bye. You ought to talk about the nasty now and now." Council Proceedings. Special meeting Borough Council, Emporium, June 12th. 189!). Present: Messrs.
