Our two mails a day 'system ^is of doubtful benefit so long*as the inflexible time rule for starting} from Mellott is in vogue, as the Clover Leaf trains are notorioOs for being behind time, especially from the west.

Tbe Richmond Comedy Co., which was to have shown at Newtown the latter part of last week, got "financially busted" at Mellott and had to call on the good people of that place to help them leave the town. One would think that the frequency of such affairs as that would deter reasonable men and women from entering upon a course which sooner or later throw the majority of its devotees upon the charity of strangers.

five or fifty feet wide, and there was nineteen feet of the head end in the west woodB ana three rods of the tail in the east woois. They skined the snake and stuffed tbe hide with bran.

Jack Fullen says, and of course he remained outside unable to gain adraitknows, that the sum and substance, in a nut shell, of the Gage bill presented to Congress, is to combine the entire tank ing system into one mammoth trust and force the government to back and aid them in their rascality and treason.
'•Yes," said City Attorny Davis, feebly, as his faithful wife finished reading the monetary commission report to him "the hand may bo the hand of God, but the voice is the voice of "Lovers Lane.'»
The Hog Heaven ecribe is not a good liar. An unsophisticated liar would not have brought into requisition live men as witnesses to prove his unreasonable and extravagant assertions in his mam. moth snake story. Old Sandy must be in his dotage, for the time was when he could tell a good one without getting fast. We would advise him to take lessons of Elias Francis. Elias tells a snake story that looks reasonable. He said that away back in the 40's, he and James Mahon and Clyde Jones captured a snake worth talking about. l"ou see Elias admits he had help in the capture Now had "Old Sandy" made the capture he would have triad to make us believe he did it all himself, but that is not Elias, for he has the reputation of dealing in straight goods. They discovered the snake while it was crossing the old Lafayette road near tbe Simpson tanyard. There were two wood pastures adjoining the road, both fenced in, one on the east and the other on the west. They saw the snake coming from the east woods and killed it while crossing the road. When Elias had finished killing the snake, he found himself in the west coods. He climbed the ferce and started east to view his snakeship— there was still plenty of snake ahead of him—and when he reached the east fence he climbed it and walked several rods before reaching the end of its tail. He says the road must have beeri forty-
burned to the ground.
That was the last he ewr knew of the snake. Elias thinks it was a species of the coperhead.

There was an article in our last letter to which of our township's annual boarders took exception. My, did it hurt you much? You big, lazy, long, hungry pauper, if the shoe tits wear it. but for the sake of yourself go to vyork and never have the gall to ask our trustee for help while you can eat a pound of meat at a meal. In a few days we will publish a list of those beats who are getting help from the township and won't work. i'"
We noticed a few days ago one of McKinley's prosperity ehouters on the streets, a man who at every breath would blow like a bull frog under a hot chunk, that instead of one patch on the seat of his pants th^re were three, and of quite large dimensions. The patches were the shape of letters. One was like the letter M, the other a P, while between the two was the letter A. It
