grown rabbit by the head, in the act of swallow
ingit The snake glided off, leaving the rabbit
The snake was killed, and Mr. Fulmer gives this
account of what folowed:
''As soon as struck the snake, on looking back
| found the rabbit coming up, and it stopped inn
medately at the dead snakes head moved it
away four or five yards with my foot but it in
stantly returned to the snakes head. / then
moved the snake, and the rabbit still pursued it,
and left it. About six P. M, returned to the
place together with all my pupils, and the rabbit
remained in the identical position in which had
left it. My son moved it again, but it Immediate
y returned to its post at the snakes head, and we
left it second time, still charmed by the con-
tinuing spells of the dead serpent. returned to
the spot the next morning. but could find no trace
Of the rabbit. Now, can any one tell what secret
power lies hidden in the organization of serpent

as " disturbing meetings" to "drown hevoices
