Two young men employed in the office, Artie Stuart and Pete Boue, suspected the colored driver of the express wagon, Jim Wyche. The last package 'to disappear con tained S150. The young men went to work and found that Jim had been spending money right and left. A warrant was sworn out tor him on Saturday night aud placed in Sheriff Hurst’s hands. This meant business, as Gns always get them if they are in reach.. He and Marshal Spair oqlled to their aid tho police force, and tho search for the negro commen ced.

We J noticed briefly on Sunday morning, that George Washington, a woll known nogro hunter who shoots for the market, was bitten by a moc casin snnkc, Saturday afternoon. The mauner in which he was bit was rather peculiar, as there is an old saying that snakes will not bite while in water, but Gcorgp \yill deny this in the future He was out on the Ocblockoncc about five miles from town shooting squirrels, nnd had shot one which fell in the water. Taking ofl his slmes he waded in after his game, and when about knee deep in water was bitten by the suake on tho foot. His snake- ship then rose to the surface aud swam ashore where he wns nftorwards killed. Washington did not have tho cus ternary snake bite remedy along, and putting tobacco on the wound, hound a cord around the leg to stop the poi son’s circulation. Ho made his way to a house near by, and was soon after brought to town, and treated, He is now out of danger. - -««»»■ ■ ■■ -- A Small Docket Yesterday.
