A BIG SNAIK. DIR Bracket of this city
was out cunning few days since on the bluffs.
when at some distance from him, across the
ravine, he perceived a snake moving in the
bushes. He Immediately raised his gun and
tile. On approaching however, his snakeship
made lunge at him, showing tremendous
length and amplitude Of body and most horrid
front He soon died, however, from the effects
of the shot. which struck him about a fsot be-
low the head, and the Doctor brought him as a
trophy OF victory into the city. On measure
ment he was found to be seven feet five inches
In length and nearly foot in girth. This ex-
pansion was soon explained, however, for on
opening him preparatory to stufing his skin
with cotton, good sized rabbit was found in
side which had the appearance Of being re-
Gently swallowed. The reptile was of the spe-
cies known as the horned adder, its tail being
tipped with horn about two inches long -Rock
