ted the church as a whole, he said he did
net mean that. This same official in
formed us that in this, as in all ethers,
there are always a few whose contentions
disturb the rest, and considers the lan
guage as unjust, ungentlemauly and net
in keeping with his vocation. This is said
te be the opinion of many in the church,
while many held that the contentions were
no doubt aggravating te the retiring pas
tor, but that the language was somewhat
severe ; while ethers agree te let the
matter rest where it is for the sake of fu
ture peace. As a whole, his remarks have
stirred up considerable discussion, which
is net only limited within the church itself
but among the members el sister congre
gations. We have no opinion te offer ; no
comment te make, but leave the whole as
we received it from official sources. In
this connection we might state that a call
will be extended te a recent graduate of
P. & M. seminary, who has filled the pul
pit en several previous occasions.
-UUKAT SNAKES!"
Ilattlc With Three IHacit KenUIes at Speed
well. Benjamin Sliultz, aged 13 years, and his
brother Jehn, a lad of 10, met with an ex
citiug adventure recently while driving
some colts through a meadow field known
as the " long hollow," en Speedwell stock
farm. They were passing through a
marshy place and under sonic crabapple
trees when they noticed something rcscinb
ing a wagon whip suspended from one of
the boughs. The youngest boy was
about te grasp it, but it wriggled up
out of his reach, and en examination they
found that it was au immense blacksnakc,
and upon proceeding a sheit distance away
and throwing stones made the astounding
discovery that there were three of them
ledged in the branches of the trees. Fol
lowing is an account of what happened
next in Master Benjamin's own words :
" It was almost sundown. Xeithcr Jehn
nor I were scared. We only thought of
killing the snakes. We stoned the snakes
and they crawled around the tree at a lively
rate. We get spunkier and armed with a
hat full of stones went right up te the
tree determined te dislodge the reptiles.
Westruckthcm repeatedly, but they would
only coil their tails around the limbs, stick
out their heads and hiss. Once I went di
rectly under the .tree, when Jehn, who was
some distance away, threw a stone and
down came ene of the ugly things en my
head. I shook it oil and it shinned up the
tree again like a flash. We forget all
about the cells, and for half au hour tiicd
in vain te get the f.nakcs off the tree. At
last a lucky blew broke the back of one of
them and it tumbled te the ground. We
were about te advance and finish it, but
the ether two followed it, and they seemed
te knew there was something wrong with
their companion, for they cut up the
funniest I ever saw. They would glide
hissing around the tree, and the way thev
sprang in the air and lashed the gieinul
with their tails was a caution te suake
killers.
" It was then quite dark, and although
we continued throwing stones, we were
unable te hit them, as we were afraid te
go near enough te make sure. Their eyes
were like sparks of lire, and -Jehn began
te quake when he saw the fearful things
stand en their tails and hiss like a ge.ise.
I tell you it looked queer the way they
waltzed around that tree en their tails.
I advanced and thought I had knocked
one of them silly, but great snakes ! I per
ceived the two coining tewaids me with
their heads elevated about live feet, and I
don't knew hew much of their bodies rest
ed en the ground. I seized Jehn, who
seemed te be paralyzed with flight, as he
was unable te move, and dragged him
away as fast as I could. I don't knew hew
far the snake followed us, but we ran all
the way home."
The next morning the crippled snake
was found and killed. It mcasuicd pre
cisely six feet.

from top te bottom. They also lighted up
at night and the building looked very
pretty. About 9 o'clock in the even

serenade and complimented them upon
their flourishing condition. Cel. Pciper

A strange fight in the air took place this

between two black birds and a crew. The
latter bird is naturally a cowardly one, but
the one that was fighting this morning had
mere than the usual ameuut of pluck, for
he would turn ou the blackbirds and chase

fight lasted as long as the birds could be
kept in view.
Through the thoughtlessness of another
man Mr. Alfred Hilliar, a pnddler and
brick-layer by trade, met with what

Last evening about 7 o'clock, Mr. Will
iam Fendiich sent up a large paper bal
loon, inflated with the gas from alcohol.
Its dimensions were very large, being
seven and one-half feet, in height, and
three in diameter in the largest place. It
was the work of Mr. Simmons, an em
ployee in Fendrich's cigar factory. Quite
au excitement was raised en the streets
by the event. The last seeu of the balloon
was when it was disappearing behind the
Yerk county hills.
A peculiar case was disposed of by
Squire Yeung this morning the facts of
which are as fellows : About two weeks
age a peddler from Yerk named Strieker
gave Jehn Murphv, another huckster from
the Bime place, 81C.20 te take te this place
and deposit te the order of Strieker.
Murphy brought the money te town but
instead of taking it te the bank himself
gave it te a gentlemanef color, Jim Leney
by name, te take te the bank, giving him 10
cents for his' service. This Jim did.
Shortly after this two letters were mailed,
one containing money the ether a check,
directed te the same bank. The letter
reached its destination before the former
and was accordingly protested. When
Strieker was informed of the affair he saw
Murphy ; Murphy came te this place and
brought suit against Leney en the charge
of trever and conversion. Squire Yeung
issued the warrant and he was arrested by
Constable Keecb, but the bank officials
proved the payment and Limey's honesty
was vindicated.
Ne doubt everybody thought the Dec
oration Day riot was ever, but if se they
were mistaken. Yesterday afternoon at
two o'clock Ann Dunmore and Ike
Craig, both colored, were arraigned be
fore Squire Yeung en the charge of
"resisting the legal process." The
members of town council, its secretary,
Messrs. Henry Kedenhciser, Uonsen and
the writer were subpoenaed. Testimony
showed that the accused were guilty of
resistance te Night Watchman Rodenheis Redenheis
cr. The records of the council were
brought forward te show that Mr. Roden Reden
heiscr was a regularly sworn policemen,
but the fact could net be found. William
Fasig, who at one time was chief bunress.
and who was present at the hearing,
was sworn, out could net testily
that he had sworn in Mr. Koden Keden
hciser as a regular policeman. Accord
ing te law Mr. Redenheiser had no right
te go up en "Tew Hill" ou Decoration
day te make arrests. Dunmore aud Craig
were then discharged, as they did net re
sist a regularly sworn policeman or con
stable. Mr. Redenheiser, as the people of
Celumdia think, is entirely justifiable in
doing wnat he did. Uur whole force
was net sufficient te de the duty
required, whereupon Chief Burgess
Sneath called for assistance, Mr. Roden Reden
heiser being among these who answered
the call. Council will net render him the
assistance they should, as he became im
plicated in the affair through the chief
burgess.
