The RattIe-Snake--a Remarkable Story
Respecting Its Poison.

To give you an idea of the long time
this poison retains its properly, l shall re-
late a curious but well authenticated SER
les of facts, which took place in central
district of the State of Pennsylvania, some
twelve or fifteen years ago.
A farmer was so slightly bit through
the boot, by rattlesnake, as he was walk.
ing TO view his ripening co:n6elds, that
the pain felt was thought by him to have
been a scratch of thorn, not having seen
or heard the reptile. Upon his return
home, he felt on a sudden, violently sick
at the stomach, vomited with great pain,
and died within few hours.
Twelve months after this, the eidst son,
who had taken his fathers boots, put them
on, and went TO church at some distance.
On his going to bed that night, whilst
drawing off his boots, he felt slightly
scratched on the leg. but merely mention
ed il 10 his wife, and rubbed the place
with bis hand. In few hours after
wards, he was awakened by violent pain ;
complained of a general giddiness. FREE
luenlly, and expired before any succor
could be applied with success. The cause
of his illness was also quite mystery.
In The course of time his effects were
sold, and second brother, through filial
affection. purchased tine boots, and if re-
member rightly, put them on about two
years after. As he drew them on, he felt
a scratch, and complained of it, when the
widowed sister being present, recollected
that the same pain had been felt by her
husband on the like occasion. The youth
sufferd and died in the same way that his
father and brother died before him.
These repeated and singular deaths be.
ing rumored in the country, medical gen.
tleman called on the friends of the deceas.
ed, to inquire into the particulars, and al
once pronounced their deaths to have been
occasioned by venom. The boots that
had been the cause of complaint, were
brought to him, when he cut one OF them
open with care, and discovered the extreme
fang of ratlesnke issuing from the leath
err. and assured the people that this had
done all the mischief To prove this sat
isfac,orily, he scratched with it the nose o
a dog, and The dog died in a few hours
from The poisonous effects it was still abb,
TO convey. In conformation ofthese facts
am told by native Americans, that al.
rows dipped in ratlesnake venom, would
carry death for ages Audubon
