THE MILES DARDEN OF SNAKES.

A correspondent of the Abingdon Democrat,
writing from Walnut Hill, Lee county, Va,
who is, as the Democrat assures its readers, /" a
gentleman in whom implicit confidence may be
placed gives the following account of the
killing of a monster reptile in that country.
He says:
About three weeks ago, five men went to
gather whOrtleberries in the mountainous parts
OF Marian county, Kentucky, and in their ira.
vels came to a small branch at the foot of o
steep ridge, where they discovered a smooth
beaten path, or rather slide, that led from the
branch up the ridge. Curiosity tempted them
to know Its meaning, and they followed tho
trail to the top of the ridge, where, to their as
tOnishment, they found about an acre of ground
perfectly smooth and destitute of vegetation
near the centre of which they discovered small
sink or cave, large enough to admit barrel
They concluded to drop in few stones, and
presently their ears were ssluted with q loud
rumbling sound, accompanied with a rattling
noise, and an enormous serpent made his ap-
pearance, blowing and spreading his head, and
his forked tongue prOtruded The men were
struck with wonder and alright, and suddenly
the atmosphere was filed with a smell so nau-
seating that three out Of the five were taken
very sick; the other two discovering the con-
dltion OF their companions, dragged them away
from that abode of death
About ten feet of the snake had to their judg-
home and related what they had seen to their
neighbors.
The next day were mounted some ten of the
hardy mountaineers, armed with rifles, deter
mined to destroy the monster. On approaching
within one hundred yards Of the dwelling u
his snakeship, their horses suddenly became
restiye. and neither kindness nor force could
make them go any nearer. The men dismOunted
and hitching their horses proceeded on foot
with rifles cooked, to the mouth of the cave
They hurled IN three or four large stones, and
fell back some fifteen steps, when the same
noise was heard as before, and out came the
dreaded reptile, ready as his looks indicated to
crush the intruders. About the same length of
the snake had appeared from the hole. when
eight or ten bullets went through his head, and
As the monster died, he kept crawling out, until
twenty feet of that huge boa lay motionless on
the ground. 1t was a Rattlesnake, with %
rattles;-the first was four inches in diameter,
the rest decreasing in size to the last With
difficulty the mon dragged him home, and his
skin can now be seen by the curious, in Harlan
county.
