~ On last Saturday, D. s. Dana
Esq, while squirrel hunting about two
miles s. West Of this place, shot a
Snake measuring six feet and three
inches in length and about twelve in
ches in cercumfrence in the largest
girth, which had a horn on the end
OF it's tail some three fourtbs of an
inch long and extending under the akin
several inches if not quite the le myth
ofthe tail. The snake WAS Of dark
brown color, tapering slightly from the
middle towards the head and tail,
narrowing more suddenly towards the
tip of the tail than the blaek-snake,
which, in some respects, it resembled.
The scales or spots did not meet like
those of the black snake but were
shaped much like the seed of musk
melon and separated more than the
sixteenth Of an inch with a greeHish
purple appearance between. 1t was
not clowded like the bull snake ofthe
prairies nor like the rattle-snake
The snake when examined was
said to contain four young rabbits.
We believe it is the first one ofthe
kind killed in this County. e
