A MOUSE DEvOURING A SNAKE.


About two years ago Mr.. Vim. Donnelly,
the gentcmanly Postmaster at the Blairs-
vile Intersection, Westmoreland county, re-
ceived aS present from friend, two large
rattlesnakes, which he preserved in box
covered with glass. After keeping them for
some. it was but natural to suppose that the
pets" should be "hungered." Acting
upon this idea, and being under the impreS-
sion that snakes would eat only living food.
Mr.. ponnely caught four or FIVE mice, and
put them in the cage with their Shiny COM
panions. to be, as was then supposed. devour
cd at single gulp. But, to the astonish-
ment of the behOlders, the mice, for several
days, carorted over the snakes with seeming
zest, ard enjoyed themselves "as well rs
could be expected under the circumstances"
Finally, one of the mice, being gnawed with
hunger, commenced gnawing at the snakes.
During this operation, his snakeship would
sometimes remain perfectly quiet, but, on
other occasions, would raise his head, and
dart forth his forkcd tongue, at which time
"our small rodent quadruped," wonld make
IA straight coat tail pr rather tail without
the cuat-into the corner. But when the
snake returned to its quiescent position. the
mouse partook again Of it's dainty meal, and
really continued this operation until it eat
So much of the flesh as to leave part Of the
backbone and several Of the ribs on either
side exposed, from which the snake finally
died PHsJug Chronicle.
