Gentlemen:--I had negro man worth

Mexican Mustang Liniment as valuable
and indispensable article for Sprains, Sores,
Scratches or Calls on Horses. Our men
have used it for Burns, Bruises, Sores,

1t is an admitted fact that the Mexican

ANOTHER SNAKE SToRY-Somc
Of our Texas exchanges have been
telling all afjout rattlosnakc that
grew to be fourteen feet long in
forty years. We have a story to
tell about II snake that only grew to
be ten inches long in several thou
sands Of years.
Major William S. Griffin employ
ed some hands to dig II cistcrn on
his place, situated, about eleven
miles southwest Of Paris. The
Hands reached the lime rock at the
depth Of fifteen feet, and after dig
ging about eighteen. inches through
rock that was easily broken, came
to solid rock. After digging cigh-
teen inches through the solid lime
rock, they tuned up snake about
ten inches in length that had 6een
Undecided in, and surrounded by,
tho solid rock When first taken
out of the rock, it was about the
color Of the rock, and was fiat like a
piece Of Tape, aud showed no appear
ancc Of life whatever. After hav-
ing been examined, it was laid out
OH the ground, and in a short time,
TO the establishment of all present,
it began to show signs Of life. 1t
soon changed its appearance, its
body becominground, its head erect,
its color seeming to change from
dingy grey to brown, and every
thing Indicating that his snakeship
had lost one.of his pecnliaritics by
his long confinement in the rock.
Its ewes assumcd their brightness.
and, exhibiting its forked tongue, it
secmed ready to declare war against
the entire human family In short
time it glidcd off with the ease and
lmpidity which characterize the
movements of the more slender spc.
cics of Snakes. lft
Capt. Jno. F. Griffin, one Of the
oldest and most respected citizcns.of
namar county, and a Mr. Fletcher,
were present when the snake was
removed from the rock, and vouch
for. the above statement.
We have frequently read accounts
ofthe finding Of frogs and toads in
solid rocks, but this is the first in
stance that We recollect Of the find
ing of a live snake in such stu
alton. 1t is we'll known that lime
rock is found beneath the soil, at no
great depth. from the surface, all
over Northern and Western Texas.
How long has that rock been in
process of formation?s In some
places it appears above the surface,
and at others il is buried beneath a
rich soil that seems TO have been
formed-by the decay of. vegetation
during a long period Of time.
Perhaps some Of our learned men
can tell how long it has been since
the rock formed and above that
snake.-Pdris Press.
