Excelsior: A strange and serious incident occurred last Saturday among a herd of cattle belonging to Jiin Duncan. Nine head of young eattle were grazing in a pasture field, and shortly after a rain "Jim " noticed they were somewhat bloated, and by the time he reached the yard with them they werebadly puffed up. He took the surgical mode of tapping which saved the lives of four out of the nine, although despite all efforts one twoyear-old and one three-year-okl stcer (lied within a short space of time. The latest snake story comes from Sylvan, where the father of all striped snakes is supposed to crawl. An embassy from that retreat states that George McDonald and some of Cummings' hired men spied the monster while he coiled himself around the limbs of a tree in Beed's woods, on the Chelsea road. He is supposed to be about 12 feet in length and 12 inches in circumference, be the same more or less, and has yellow and black stripes. We have not heard of its swallowing any children, and hope it will be captured alive before the fairs, so we can all have a ghmpse at him. -Manchester Enterprise. Miss Pearl Eytinge, the accomplished actress, will visit this city in October. The New York Sun says: -'Miss Pearl Eytinge surprised and charmed a large and fashionable audience by her performance of the role of the Countess Zicka. She showed a keen and original appreciation of the character, and treated it with tact, discretion and excellent taste. In her scène with Baron Stein, in the second act, she did an admirable piece of pathetic acting, which earned for lier the hearty applause-of the audience, and in the last act, in her trying interview with Captain Beauclerc (Mr. AVallack), she made an unmistakable hit. Pretty, young, gracof ui, of excellent stage presence and unquestioncd ability, Miss Eytinge certainly has a bright future before her, of which her performances last evening was a sure indication." Commercial: Thomas Collins,17 years of age, son of John Collins who lives near the cemetery, must, if he lives, be a one armed man for life. Tuesday morning Tom was brushing off one of the spur gearings at Deubel's upper mili when either a rag in his hand, or his sleeve, or both, were caught and his right arm drawn into the cogs. Instantly the arm was torn to shreds, elbow joint terribly crushed, only one finger left. The only other party in the mili, Mr. Orrin Carpenter, hearing a scream stopped the machinery. Had lie not done so Tom would have been killed. Mr. C. wrapped the bleeding arm in a bag and sent for the doctor. Tom was sent home in a buggy. Heroically he held the reins in his left hand. Dr. Batwell amputated the arm below the shrmlder. Toni had often been warned but iindne confidenee makes him a crip ple for life. The familv is large, depend ent on the father and son, and have the public sympathy. The Observer says of the recent fire in Saline that the building, which was 36x80 two stories high, was built last f all, at an expense of about $3,000, and was composed of four stores, the occupante and their loss being as follows: No. 1, flrst floor oocupied by Geo. E. Schairer's harneas shop ; loss 'on stock $1,500; insurance $500. No. 2 was occupied by Mrs. Corbett as a d welling and va riet y store,loss about $400insuranoe $300. No. 3 contained Miss Barne's millinery stock, which was a total loss; insured $100. No. 4 was occupied by Mrs. Laura Wallace as a dwelling. A few household goods were saved, but the greater portion was lost; no insurance. A portion of the upper story was occupied by S. S. Tripp, and a Germán family named Schmidt, both of whom lost nearly all their household goods. The building was insured for $2,000. Some think the flre the work of an incendiary, but we do not take much stock in the theory, for in a building occupied by so many partios thera are numerous chances for the origin of flre. We have not learned whether the block will be rebnilt or not, but hope it will- not another tinder-box, but a good substantial brick building.
