" Let the planter take the $3.50 which he

Horrible Death.

From the Oswego IN } Palladium
In the early part of the month Of August
Eliza Drummond, about eleven years of age,
whose parents live near the town of West Mon
roe, left her home one morning for the pur-
pose Of picking berries, and never returned.
| The most diEgent search was made for her by
the parents and neighbors, but no traces could
be found. She had not been drowned for all
places where there was water were carefully
examined, even to wells and cisterns in the
neigbborhood. After weeks OF fruitless search
and inquiry, the afflicted parents gave up
their child for lost It was reported that
band of Migrants had been seen near the 10
calty about the time of the disappearance,
and the opinion prevailed that the child had
been stolen by gyps'es.
On Tuesday last, five or six lads went out
hunting in he vicinity, and during the day
came upon spot where a large number of
black snakes were discovered and killed. The
appearance Of the reptiles in such numbers at
this season of the year, was considered re-
markable, and it was suggested by one Of the
party that a breeding den must be somewhere
near. A search was Immediately commenced.
which resulted in manner far different from
their expectation.
+ In the side of little hill, near the edge Of
a swamp, was found a sort Of opening, which
in the summer, was concealed by tall grass
and bushes In this opening was found lfu-
man skeleton, from which every particle of
flesh had been taken. The bones were as
white as ivory, and all perfect. Near by was a
tin pail, in rusted condition, and a tin cup.
The boys were terribly frightened, and gave
the alarm. The remains were taken from the
mouth of the den, and an examination showed
that the place had been, and probably now
was breeding place for black snakes. The
boldest hestated to enter. The entrance,
which was large enough for the admission of &
mans body, grew smaller and tended down
ward Lighted balls of hay, soaked in kero
senc were thrown into the cavity, and in less
than fifteen minutes cghtytwo snakes, rang
ing in length from ono and half to four feet
were killed.
The pail and cup were recognised by Mr..
and Mrs. Drummond as those taken by their
child when she went away for the last time.
The physician pronounced the remains those
Of a female child, and there can be no doubt
that the poor little girl, while picking berries
in the vicinity Of the spot became tired, seated
herself in the shade O.! the opening to this hor-
rid den, was attacked by Tie reptiles in num-
bers and killed. The discovery has shocked
the whole community, and almost Frustrated
the stricken parents, whose hearts are made
to bleed anew at the thought Of the horrible
fate which deprived them of their child.
