CLAY COUNTY ITEMS.
HOW A HOAD UNDRESSES.
There many animals which
fiily undress once a year , »n#tbat is
1 put on a new suit; among these is
_ie toad. An eye witness to the pro-
cess thus describes u toad taking oft
his clothes:
“About the middle of July I found
a toad on a hill of melons, and. not j
wanting him to leave, hoed around i
him. He appeared sluggish and not
inclined to move. Presently I ob-
served him pressing hiselbows against
his sides, rubbing downward. He
appeared so singular that I watched
to see what he was up to. After a
few smart rubs his skin began to
burst open straight along his back.
Now. said I, old fellow you have done
it; but he appeared to be uncon-
cerned, and kept on rubbing until lie
bad worked down all his skin into
folds on bis sides and hips; then
grasping one hind leg with his hands
he hauled oft'one leg of his pants the
same as anybody would, then strip-
ped the other leg the same way. He
then took his coat oft'cuticle forward,
between his forelegs in his mouth,
and swallowed it; then, by raising
and lowering his head, swallowing
as his head came down, lie stripped
oft’the skin underneath until it came
to his forelegs, and then grasping
one of these with the opposite hand,
by considerable pulling stripped oft'
the skin ; changing hands he stripped
the other, and by a slight motion ot
the head, he drew it from the throat
and swf 1 lowed the whole. The op-
eration seemed to be an agreeable
one, and occupied but a short time.”
The difference between an ice
house and a nice house is more ap-
parent in the spelling than in the
pronunciation. Like the English-
man’s anticipated brood oi young
chickens, it depends altogether upon
the setting of the «.

KILLED BY A BLACKMAILER.
John Erwin, aged eighteen, was
caught Saturday stealing five dollars
worth of dry goods from a slore, at
Fishkill, N. Y., where he was em-
ployed. His parents were sent for,
and settled the matter for $50.
Search was made for the boy, and
he was found in an outhouse, dead,
having taken arsenic. Letters found
on him and in his trunk, revealed
the fact that for some time he had
been the victim of a blackmailer in
Lowell, Mass., who kept demanding
moneys and goods from him at inter-
vals. as a price to hush up some-
ihing young Erwin had done, but
what it was does not transpire.

There is reason to believe that the

Scott’s railway may be put upon the
market. If so, it will not only tend
to improve public credit, but aug-

is still believed by many that Tom
Scott will not surrender, and that lie
will build the road .—Austin States-

the delivery of the papers, and to whom
all bills for subscription, after this date,

Mr. Neale in order to secure the punctual
delivery of our paper, and trust our pat-
rons will approye of the change.
