search was mds for her by tier pervolo and neilltta
but no trariee could be found. The event, which c
a profound sensation at the time, had almost
from the minds of all save the stricken parents, wrenrl
it
wsa&sinfully recalled by a reoent 000nrreases. On
y last venta six lads went out hunting in the
vicinity, and daring the day came upon • where a
terse number of bleat snakes were dire sod tilled.
The appearance of the reptile. in slash numbers, and at
this ecerion of the year, was considered remark Ale, and
it was suggested by one of the party that • breeding
den must—he somewhere near. A search wee imme-
diately commenced, which resulted in a manner far
different from their expectations. In the side of spas
bill near the edge of a swamp was found a sort of
opening, which in the summer was ooneeeled by tall
gram and bushes. In this opening was found a human
aeiston, from which every particle of Gads had been
taken. The bones were as white as ivory, and all per-
fect. Neer by was • tin pa, in • rusted condition, and
a tin cup. The boys were terribly frightened, sad gave
the alarm. The remains were taken from the month of
the den, and an 51M1111146311 showed that Vs plies had
been, and probably now was, 'breeding plane for black
snakes. Me boldest hesitated to enter. The estrum,
which was large enough for the admisdon of • man's
body, grew smaller and tended downward. Lighted
balls of hay soaked in kerosene were thrown into the
amity, and in less than 15 minutes 82 mikes, ranging in
length from 11 to 4 feet, were killed. The psil and cup
were recognised be Ildr. and Mrs Drummoad as those
taken hr their child when she west away for the last
lime. The physicians proeosneed the resssies those of
