Death OF the Gill Said 10 Have Been
Fascinated by a Snake.


The Rochester Union records thu
dealh. in that city, of bright and inter
estng Inde girl. about two years and one
month old. daughter ot B ID. Davis, who
is said to have been fascinated by snske.
The following are the facts Of the case as
stated BY the Union
A few weeks since when MIR. DAVIS
resided on Monroe street, on the outskirts
of the city, near nursery where he was
employed. this liuIe daugh,er-less than
two vesrs oIL--was accustomed 10 go M
to the yard or field and play with snake.
How long these meetings had been
held before the discovery by tie
mother Is not known. At all events ihe
mother one day found the child with The
snake in lis arms, and the little one was
iondIing it and calling II her baby.
Subsequently the snake was seen IN
the yard, aud would run to he ch'!d
whenever size was permilred TO go CAT.
The child lost lis appetite and pine"
away, and constantly talked and thought
Of lhis reptile. Her mother took her dor-
Ing 10 ,he city to divert her mind from
The ileous object, but in vain. Under
the AL, ice of physician who was called
tie snake was not destroyed, and conin-
ued to visit lhe premises at will, retreat
ng 10 the field when aGy one but the chIId
appeared.
A, length Mr.. Davis moved into the
ritv and took house on Centre street.
hoping that The change would be Rdvan-
lageous to his child, and for time she
improved ~ hesllh and took her food.
Two weeks ago last Friday the child vas
taken III and continued to sink until yea
terdav, when she died. She was subject
TO commissions or spasms, which were
very violent, and al no time could che
take food and retain it in her stomach.
Her mother informs our reporter that
she was attended Ia by DR.. FIemmIng.
who treated the child on the electrical
principle, and she says that he found 1t n
difficult case TO treat, and expressed iho
belief that the snake had taken the cleo
,rici,v from the system Of the child.
1t is stated that on the day following
the Friday when the child was taken so-
riously iii. German killed the snake, and
informed the chId's mother OF lhe clrcum-
stance.
The mother savs that when the lille
girl heard the statement, she said, MAN
ma, is baby dead = and soon became
worse.

There were twenty y-seVen persons in ALL

tha, the slaughter had begun, and that
shere was no hope Of escape, they all
leaped into deep well, and died together.

were brought TO an end. The rebels
