SAD DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
Some two months since Mrs. B,aHken-

Some two months since Mrs. B,aHken-
ship, lady of respectability, lost her
husband from disease, and was left with
three children, two interesting boys and a
little infant girl, just large enough to
walk alone and besuile the lonely hours
OF the mother with its innocent prattle.
On the 10th ult., the mother, for the pur-
pose OF washing clothes, repaired to tho
spring branch near the house, taking her
three children with her, the house dog
following behind She had been engac-
ed in washing but short time when tho
dog was heard barking incessantly on the
hill. Thinking that the dog had possibly
freed raccoon, the two little boys pro-
posed going at once to secure the same.
With the mothers consent, the little
fellows started off iu high glee. Ou
reaching the spot where the dog was bark
ing, they saw, short distance from the
dog, large object coiled at the foot Of
stunr, in hostile attitude, keeping the
dog at bay. Eager only t. capture the
supposed game, and not thinking of d; D.
ger, they a lproache1 the h.decus monster.
The Oldest Of the two boys approached
first, with his little hands outstretched
and his face a9low at the prospect of his
prize, saying, "I'll set Linn, brother. -
One step more, and he rushed to a death
more terrible and speedy than were the
tortures of the fablcd Raccoon Wiki
one dart Of his forked tongue, with one
death rattle Of his tail, the huge rAttl,-
snake, for it was nothing less, drew back
his scaly folds, and with one dart forward,
planted his envenomed sanss i'll the flesh
Of the boy and left the deadly poison
coursing through his young veins.
The other little fellow rushed forward
to the relief Of his little brother, and he
also received the deadly fsngs Of the ser,
pent in several places The screams Of the
boys alarmed the mother, who was still
washing at the branch, and leaving her
baby girl, she ran frantically to the spot.
Pu.rld with poison, swollen and BLACK ,.
and bitten in many places, one of her
boys was already dead, and the other
dying from the same cause. The snake
had crawled away, and the living boy JUS
lived long enough to tell the c;rcpmstaL-
ces of their death. Overwhelmed with
an intensity of agony size remained at tie
fatal spot short :ime, when she betbought
her Of her little girl at TIVE branch, and
hurried back.
On reaching the spot, horrible as it may
seem, she found that the little girl had
walked to the wash-tub, into which she
had fallen head foremost and was drown
cd. Bereft Of children, and almos, of
reason she sank under the accumulated
horrors of the hour. Assistance was pre-
cured the heart-crushed woman and the
remains of her nestlings were taken charge
of and cared for A short time after a
large rattlesnake with thirteen ras14!iss, was
killed near the spot where the boys were
bitten.-Bowlt"J Green ( Ky.) Democrat.
