Washington countyTennessee, is ex cited over the trail left in the snow by a serpent of paleontologies! magnitude. It can't be the great original serpent, however, for he only showed himself before the tall, whilst this one mani fests a preference for winter, probably to avoid summary destruction. Smith, the colored West Point cadet, is said by a disloyal person to have such long heels as to cause his next neighbor to step on them and this is the cause of all the recent Court-martial. The Government can't afford to have its cadets riding arounj on Smith's heels. Senator Conkling must be a wag, as well as an orator. The other day he congratulated a member of the House who had just concluded one of his great efforts, thus : "A great speech the best tpeech I ever heard delivered by a man who kuew so little about bis subject." A writer in tho National Standard gives a pitiable accouut of the squalid oovertv nrevailiiicr anions manv i the blacks of Washington.

The manufacture of beet sugar, which was commenced about a year ngo at Sacramento, and from which much money was to be made, hug been suspended. . The cause of this is said to be the incompetency of the super intendent to make the businteg a pay ing one.

The Indiauapolis Daily Journal ac cuses the Legislative Speaker aud cer tain members of gross obscenity and blucLguurdisiu iu their oiliciul places, aud promiiies to prove it by verbatim reports.

Haldeman, the member from York, has hopefully reformed since the fit of dclcrium tremens in which, last month, he so shamefully abused his wife, a daughter of Senator Cameron.

A colored pensioner of the war of the American revolution, named John Badn,died lost week in Canada at the age of 105, having been on the pen sion list for more thau eighty years.

It took two or three hundred men two days to open one of the Chicago street car lines, after the great storm. The ice hugged the havement most persistently, and the ax and pick were the only implements that could make any impression.

The testimony of the Salt Lake Tribune is that liberal sentiments are rapidly spreading in Utah. On s thing is certain that if many silver discover ies are made in Utah, and railroads traverse the territory, it will no longer be Brigham Young's "pocket-borough." A Rochester bill-poster, unable to get his money from a firm in that city, stationed himself in front of their store with a placard on which was printed, "Pav your debts."

A hotel at Elleuville, N.

Dr. Hammond advances the novel idea that Spiritualism is a disease, hys terical and cataleptic in its nature. He professes to be able to cure the worse case of medium by a treatment of iron and strychnine. The efficacy of the latter if taken in sufficient doses, may be safely warranted. A sad instance of how much many people suffer, who are supposed by the world at large to be in comfortable cir- cumstauces, was seen in Jersey City on Sunday.

The Leader published at Wamnun, Wis., has a subscriber who has been promising for years to pay his subscrip tion in wood, and the editor, getting tried of waiting, has investigated the case, and found the Dearest he has got to paying is to plant an acorn. When the tall oak grows up that editor is going tn have all the wood he wants, The Elmira Advertiser says : A young couple were married at Catta raugus last week. The bride's shoes hurt her feet so bad that she had to sit down while the minister was performing the ceremony.

The phenom enon resides in Indiana, and although ho has been married five years, he don't know yet what his wife's name happens to be. He has felt satisfied to call her "Say" ever since he has known her. Boxford, Conn., is a quaint old Pu ritan town not a glass of ale sold in this place. It borders ou eight towns, is eleven miles long and six miles wide, and has a population of eight hundred and fifty souls, about the same as one hundred years ago. Appro, priately enough, the chief industry of the town is the manufacture of boxes for shoes and matches. There i a paper in New Orleans that is strong on coincidences, aud its latest is this: A child was stolen recent ly while the bells were ring for a tire in a certain building.
