Mr.. g. says that one morning, after he had
been experimenting in his room, by throwing
Icrickets into water to obtain snakes, and had
succeeded in procuring two, OF about four
inches in length, he noticed black cricket
crawling up the side Of his wa.er pail. II,
jumped into the water, lay quiet for a moment.
produced snake nearly seven inches in
length. and then nimbly made its escape over
the edge Of the pail" He also found live
hair snake, nearly seven inches in length,
coiled up in the abdomen Of dead cricket
that lay on its back under fiat stone. The
hair snake. he says, will live long time in
moist earth, where he has found them Of a
greyish or white colar, sometimes Of great
length, and much resembling the fibrous root
ct some vegetable. When seen through a
magnifying glass the hair snake presents an
almost exact resemblance to the lapprey
eel.

snake IN her tea kettle one morning, few
years since. II had been standing where a
cricket might have crawled in by the spout |;
but she is hardly willing to give up the theory
Of her girlho"d, thar il was yiviiied horse

which the above statement is made. we are somewhat
