As she opened the cellar door the family cat lan past her down stalls. An Instant later the cat began to giowl and spit. The sounds of a stiuggle came up the stairway. Mis. Hopkins thought the cat was fighting with a lat and con tinued descending the stalls As she leached tho bottom and the light from the candle fell on the floor, she saw the coils of a largo snake. She sci earned, diopped tho basket and candlestick, and tinned to inn up stairs, 1 but fainted and fell backwaid upon tho cellar staiis. Tho scieam staitled Mr. Hopkins, who ran downstalis. Tho light had been extinguished, and ho stepped Into the basket, which was on one of the steps, and fell headlong over Mis. Hopkins,.

The Republican senatorial conference bavins nominated Colonel Clmiles C, Pratt, of New Mllford, for state senator, lavo. done well. If the Republicans ot the 'district pull off their coats, go to ivork unitedly and send him to Harris ourg by a big majority, they will do 'heir duty. The colonel Is entitled to (Very Republican vote In the district, nd he ought to get It. He is an able, Idueated gentleman, without a (law In jis character or his history, and ho vll honor the district. Such men are oo seldom sent to legislative, hall3, and Wa opportunity ought not to be ne glected. Any district may well bo proud of such n candidate, and tho trlumphnnt election of tho gcnlnl and popular colonel Is one of the certain things of the near futuie.
