A Den or Snakes. Two boys named Edward Gibson, and Henry Wentworth, living near Erie, Pa'., had been visiting relatives a few miles north west of Pocono for several weeks. During the visit they con cluded to spend a day gathering whor tieberries, which are unusually plenti ful, particularly on the Pocono Moun talus. Accompanying the two lads was a small dog. The boys left for the woods soon after breakfast, and began gathering berries about two and a half uiles north from where they wore visiting, in a densely wooded and thinly populated section. The berries being very plentiful the boys succeeded in filling their baskets and pails. At noon, being tired and hungry, they seated themselves on a small grassy mound to eat their lunch. In the meantime, the little dog was heard barking fiercely some distance away in the thicket. The boys, thinking it had' trend or holed a squirrel, and was barking at it, thought nothing of the matter, and continued to eat their lunch. Having done so, they gathered up the fragments of their meal and their berries, and, calling the dog, starred to return home. They had gone but a short distance when, the (log not having followed, they stopped to repeat the call. Instead of the dog coming, they heard it bark again. The boys put down their basket, and mark Ing the spot so that they could find It again, started back to see what the trouble was. Arriving at the spot, they discovered a monster rattlesnake lying at the opening in the rocks. The boys gathered up several stones, and, when the snake again put Its head out, fired at and killed it. The dog then drew the dead reptile out. It measured five feet and two inches, and had seventeen rattles. Thinking there might be a dvn ot rattlesnakes under the rocks, the boys gathered together a heap of dried brush, and placing it at the opening where they had killed the snake, ap plied a match. No sooner had the brush got fairly ignited than snakes began runlnmg out from under the rocks in every direction, 'I'he courage of the lads failed themi at first, and they star ted to run, but Gibson who had had encounters with snakes before., stopped and persled his young comrade to return and open a warfare upon the reptiles. After a briel deliberation, each with a large missile In hand they retraced their steps coutloily. Lylug coiled upon stones appeare(i to be hundreds of rattlesnakes, of all colors and sifzes, with their tails rattling fiercely, making an almost deafening noise. Although the sight was any thing but a pleasant one, the brave lads kept their courage, and began pelting the rattlers with missiles. So thick were the snakes thatalmost every stone killed one. Theladscontinued toshow er stones in such rapid succession aimong the reptiles that in a short time what snakes had not been killed had made their escape among the surround ing rocks and underbrush. As soon as all the live snakes had dIappeared, the boys, who had become nearly exhaus ted by hard worik, went to wvork and gathmered upi thmeir torphiesq. They found thirty -elgh t snakes, meauring from 3i to 5 feet in length, The largest onie had 21 rattles. A it'ric,.,n Cheese .

Thew forein demand for American cheeose is increasing, but Imot so rapidly aNs it d1id ten years ago. lFroml 180 to 1805, owing to the i ntrodnetonm of the cheese factory system in tils country, the~ in crease was tremenidoums.

CommenlC~ci ng with the last week in Mlay, thecre were exported dluring the following eight weeks of 1878, about 807,000 packages of cheese; dlurinig the corresp~onding weeks of 1'79, about 528,000 packages, andl of 1 S80, about 635,000 packages.

Yours triuly, JAMS STRIcIKELL. Lassoing a Locomotive. In one of the old-fashioned school books we used to read the story of a bear who undertook to fight a saw-mill; and very soon found himself in two pieces. Bruin's luckless attempt was a type of all the rash and ignorant re sistance made against the "march of improvement." Another and sadder example wasthe fate of one of the wild "Gauchos," those Arabs of the South American desserts, when the railroad cars irst ran across th e pampas of Buenos Ayres. Says one of the engi neers: They instinctively looked upoa us as foes, and sought to kill, rob, or thwart us. We were like a small garrison sure rounded by savage hordes. At last we got ready for a trial trip. Ai the locomotive ran acroe. the bound less prairie with its smoke and its clat ter, Gauchos might be seen starting up in all directions, and then came flying toward us, half in terror, halt bewild ered with curiosity. Most of them reined In at a distance from the line, when their snorting stallions did not themselves suddenly halt. We had run the distance we intend ed, and made ready for our return. As we had tested the road, we felt more secure, and put on the steam. Away we flew; but, to our amazement, we saw two Gauchos start out ahead of us, circle round, and halt on the track, to catch the new beast with the lasso. Be fore we could check our speed the lasso flew; but as it circled around the smokestack, horse and man went down before it, the lasso dragging the unfort unate man under the wheels. Our position was one of danger; but we stopped and did all that we could, taking up the body of the mad man and bearing it on to our destination, his friends following, but afraid to enter. We ondeavored to explain to them the nature of steam and its terrible power, but argument was useless; nothing could make them believe that boiling wvater could outstrip and out. pull a horse. Horses in the iron box were, to their minds, a sensible expla nation of what they saw. EXACTLY WnAT Is WANTED AND Soun- A ETra -Tro finl a sate,.reli able, harmless, not repulsive remedy that can be taken without interfering with business or pleasure, or disorgan izing the system, a sniple vegetable compound assisting nature to get rid of lippurities in a gradual manner as na ture intended. Such is in Simmons' Liver Regulator, and tihe trial and use is all that is necessary to prove this to the most skeptical. Complete satisfac tion Is secured to every one, and cer tainly it is a satisfaction to find the head clear, tihe bowels regular, the blood purified and the breath sweet. The Regulator is so mild, so gentle, so harm less, and does mech a world of good in correcting the stomach, regulating the bowels, and restoring the health, that all that is necessary is to give it a trial. "I can recommend as an eflicaeious remedy for all Diseases of the Liver, H*eartburn and Dyspepsia, Simmons' Liver Regulator. "Lawis G. WUNDER, Ass't Post Master. Phila."
