Il Snake an the Criaoline.-A remark
able escape from almost certain death. oc-
CURED few days since to female at Wa
terloo Estate, near Sydney, A women and
her husband had been taking walk in
the vicinity of lagoon, and had sat for
some time near the edge of the water
On rising to return home, the woman fan
cied she felt something at the back of her
dress, but as nothing could be seen there,
no further notice was taken of the matter
for some time. On passing a friends
house, however, at short distance, she
stopped to speak to one of the inmates,
and while doing SO, again felt movement
as if something alive had got between her
gown and petticoat. Becoming alarmed,
and placing her hand on her dress, she was
Mortified to perceive snake drop to the
ground from beneath her garments. 1t
proved to be death adder-the most ven-
omous of all Australian reptiles. The
deadly intruder was soon dispatched by the
husband by blow on the head. Her es-
cape under the circumstances is truly won
