HOG HEAVEN.

Sandy Morrie, down on Black Creek, thinks of taking a position driving the hearse for the stink factory.
Not many people visiting here now. They
are
all staying at home. We had
four hogs, seven geese and a flock of chickens eaten up by company lately.
Next week we will write the history of Hog Heaven. We have written too much now—expect to get kicked out when we take this up to the office.
Perhaps the oldest school house in Montgomery county is the old frame buiiding, standing in the woods just north of the Red Snyder mansion, near the Attica road. It was built in 1839, and is the monument of some wonderful past events. The structure is but a small building, but here in early times, long before the war, many things occurred which are of much interest to the readers, and from week to week we shall speak of them, The surviving scholars of this old time school propose to give a dinner in this school house, some day during the coming summer. They will hold an old-day picnic. We expect to send a cab after some of the older ones, and when those gray-haired scholars get together and make speeches some fun may.be looke«! for. Already some of the old backwoods boys, grayhaired and grizley, are booked for speeches. The Hog Heaven writer will be master of ceremonies on this occasion, and. will make a talk, as will also Frank F. Snyder.
The summer of 1855 was a very dry one, and a severe drought was the result. In those days we had no patient appliances to cause the clouds to roll together and belch forth their thunder and the rain to descend on the earth as they have out in Kansas. The people were very much worried, and ir. August of that year it was often said that starvation and utter ruin were at hand. The writer was a boy at the time, and was going to school over in the big Dave Snyder woods. The teacher was Andy Simpson. He knew a plan to
bring rain. "Uow everybody thought what Andy didn't know wasn't worth knowing. His plan was to kill a lot of snakes and hang them up by the tails on the big oak trees around the sohool house. On the 5th day of August seven us set out for the big Snder pond, led by Andy with B. l'\ Snyder in the rear. Each one of us was arn^d with a shinnii: club. On arriving at the pond we fouud it to be a dense jungle, coverrred with great ferns, seven feet high, hazel buBhes, and all kinds of shrubbery. It was about forty aens in circumference. The water bad all 'dried up and we began forcing our way into the heart of the thicket, where we found a smnll op -n space. On a rotten log not six feet, from us lay a large number of hideous looking reptiles, their scales glistning brightly in the sunshine. We pounced upon them at once and began knocking them right and left. Wearrived at the school house about two o'clock in the afternoon loaded down with snakes. We had sixty-seven snakes all told, and ail copperheads.
Placed together and carfully measured by J. P. Snyder, they were found to be 268 feet and two incheB long. We drove nails in the oak trees and hung them up by the tails, and then went home. I have often heard it said that all signs fail in dry weather, but let me tell ycu this one did not. That night about 8 o'clock a small dark cloud WBS seen to rise in the west about 9 o'clock lightning flashed and tnunder roared, and the much-desired rain was soon falling in torrents. The next morning it was discovered that many bridges had washed out and streams past fording, "Yes, sir," said Frank F. Snyder, the other day, "I believe the snakes brought it, and I believe it is a 6ign that never fails and ought to be observed more in dry weather." Taking a fresh chew of tobacco he continued, "I had lots of hardships when out with
There is no question about it whatever
