TIE SNAKE Story A IIuMBuG.-Thc New
Hampshire Statesman says. on the authority
Of a ncghbor of the Hill family, that the
public are grossly imposed upontby lisail'air.
Instead of there being a spontaneous feeling
between the child and the reptile. there was
the utmost repugnance between the two, at
the time the father commenced his work.
People there entertain no iopbt whatever,
that he caught the snake some time ago: that
he: obtained it for the purpose Of trainingithe
child to handle and control it; and that the
exhibition of the two for money is the consid-
Grafton had in view from the first by the in
human parent. The assertion that DR..
Wright gave it as his opinion that sepsra-
ton of the child and the snake would be
fatal to the former, is falschood; that there
is no foundation whatever for it.

ded by large black snake that had wound
itself twice around her thighs, on the outside
Of her garments, and bound her So tight that
She could not move. How or when it got
there she could not tell, her IDEAS being so
confused by fright on seeing the nest from
which she ran. She was relieved III her To-
comotion by the snake taking higher posi-
ton, when She threw up her arms and ran,
using her basket to fight the reptile, which
