A strange circumstance is said to have taken place is
few days since its the neighbourhood of this city. A
woman passing along a path through a rye field, sat
down on the side of the path, when immediately she
was seizcal ruuud the waist by a huge black sualse,
which raised its frightful heat! in a threateuing, at-
titude, mouth open, on a level with her time, with
its eyes fixed upon her countenance. The screams
of the woman brought a black man to her :ts-sistance,
who resolutely grasped the monster by the ne:k
-with one huud, and with the other seizNl its tail,
and while unwinding its coils, the woman, by his
dlrectioas, took a knife from his pocket, and off
went Oa reptile's head." The relations we have
heard of this wonder differ from each other, but in
no considerable degree ; from one source we are iT: -
fortnett the snake weighed upwards of SO pouty.!s.—
