PER YEAR Black Snake Attacks Boy Two !«>ys living on Sidler Hill, Columbia county, had a desperate encounter witli a monster blaeksnake last week. The two hoys were on their way to the mountain carrying with them an axe. While trudging along about two miles from their home, the boy who was carrying the axe was startled by a cry from his young companion and looking around beheld a big blaeksnake coil ing itself around his legs. The snake showed no signs of retreating even when attacked by the other boy and it was not until IK; brought the axe into play severing its body in two that the ugly reptile gave up the tight. The snake measured seven feet, live inches in length. A Lively Runaway. Herbert lveeler and Leo Brieger two boys of this place had on excit ing experence on Monday shortly af ter 1:2 o'clock. They had Rev. 1.11. Fisher's horse hitched to a buggy be longing to Mr. T. J. Keeler and had gone to Celestia to deliver some phos phate to Mr. A. I'. .Jenkins which he had purchased at Laporte. When they wore near their destination a bolt came cait of the buggy causing one of the wheels to strike the horse and frighting him so that he became unmanageable for the boys, who were thrown out of the buggy but es caped injury. The horse continued on Ids wild run after breaking the harness and freeing himself from the vehicle, to within a short distance of Eagles Mere where he was caught. The buggy was badly demolished and the h(H\se was cut on one leg and about the mouth. Stocking Rivers Wilh PiKe. About four million wall-eyed pike will be placed in the Susquehanna liver l>\ the State Fisheries depart ment either this or next week. This will he the largest amount of this kind of fish ever put into Sus quehanna waters and they will be taken from the state aquaria at Frid. Of this number. 1,500,000 will lie placed in the river between Harrisburg and Williamsport. and large plantings in both the North Branch and West Branch between Williamsport and Keiiovo. The fish will not be sent to any persons throughout the state who may apply for them as has been done in the case offish of other kinds, as wall-eyed pike only thrive in certain kinds of water. It re duires three yeass for these fish to attain a size at which they can be legally caught. High School Commencement.

The Agricultural Department has distributed to inquirers not fewer j than copies of a pamphlet de ! scribing ginseng, and the oflicials {are now painfully aware of the fact i that if a dozen persons in the FniU.nl j States should seriously take up the ' culture of ginseng they would sup ply the entire Chinese demand for | ginseng from this country. More over the market price of the root would immediately decline until it | reached next to nothing. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is an enthusiast on the subject of in troducing new agricultural pursuits , into the Fnited States, but he makes no bones in denouncing the ginseng craze, lie says it i,s a delusion and 1 a snare.
