s|Some portions of Tuscarawas county
are at present greatly exercised about biz
snake said to have been seen somewhere
on the railroad near Port Washington. We
have heard some huge stories about hi.
"snakeship." We copy the following no
tice of the ''sarpint" from the New Phila
delphia Democrat: .-.s..
"THE Big SNAKE.-The big snake that
we spoke Of last week, is not a a,yth. by
any means. He was actually seen, and i,
as much of a verify as the great sea SERPENT
ever was. A farmer from the neighbor-
hood told gentlemen of this town that be
had been seen year ago, trying to swallow
rabbit. Lis presence in that locality is
accounted for by the fact that about ter
years ago menagerie, travelling through
the county, had one of the wagons to break
down, and a youngi Anaconda made its es-
cape. lie has now grown to full size, and
may be considered a living wonder We
hope the ueXt person who sees his snake
ship will write us descriptive letter, with
out fail, aud attach his name to the '.tale
of the snake" r-
Z. S.-Since the above vas in type. we
learn that the snake was seen by Andrew
Stoc&er, Of Salem township, some time in
June last, while he was ploughing in his
Weld. 1t was as large as an ordinary stove
pipe, and was standing with it. head erect
and as high as his. He made hasty re-
treat, but said nothing at the time, tearing
that his story would not be believed Mr..
5. is a reliable farmer and his statement is
entitled to credit The snake has its lair
near culycrt on the p. C. q c. r. r.,
abouta mile above Port Washington.
