attention was then caught by the sound of
the most shrill, keen, ringing rattle that
ever penetrated human ear; and on look
down, discovered "a huge rattlesnake.
with CORY head quivering and wrIhing in
the agony Of death and sending forth from

His friend Mitchell told him that hi,

den, and pointed out the orifces through
which they passed; that he was in the hab-
il Of comming there on Sunday evenings
to shoot rattlesnakesj when he discovered
to his horror a monstrous snake licking his
hand aud covering it with Shiny coating
preparatory to degluttion, whea he dis
charged load OF buckshot into his head.
''He had scarcely told me this, which
took buta moment, when ratt!es all around
