Horrible Solution Of q Mystol
Child Eaten by Snakes. Z

In the early part Of the month of =
August last girl named Eliza Drum.
mond, about IL years Of age, whose
parents live near the town OF West
Monroe in this county, left her home
one morning for the purpose of picking
berries, and never returned. The most
diiigent 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 neighborhood.
After weeks of frnitIess search and I'm.
quiry the afflicted parents gave up their
child tor iost. Ii was reported that
oand of vagrants had been seen near
the locality about the time of the dis,
appearance, and the opinion prevailed
that the child had been stolen and car,
ried away by the gypsies.
The event, which created a profound
sensation at the time, had almost passed
from the minds Of all save the stricken
parents, when it was painfully recalled
by a recent occurrence. On Tuesday
last five or six lads went ont hunting in
the vicinity, and during the day came
upon spot where large number of
black snakes were discovered and kill,
ed. The appearance Of the reptiles in
such large numbers and at this season
of the year, was considered remarkable.
and it was suggested by one of the par.
ty that breeding den must be some.

per far different from their expectations.
In the side Of the hill near the edge
of a swamp was found a sort of OPEN

ed by tall grass and bushes. In the
opening was found human 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 a rusted condition and a
tin cup. The boys were terribly fright.
ened 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
a breeding place for black snakes. The
boldest hesitated to enter. The entrance,
which was large enough for the admis-
sion of a mans body, grew smaller and
tended downward. Lighted balls of
hay soaked in kerosene were thrown
into the cavity, and in less dian Is
minutes eighly-two snakes, ranging in
length from II to feet were killed.
The pail and cup were recognized by
Mr.. and Mrs. Drummond as those "a.
ken by their child when she went away
for the las: time. The physicians pros
nounced the remains those of female
child, and there can be no doubt but
that the poor girl, while picking berries
in the vicinity of the spot, became tired,
seated herself in the shade of the open.

RETURN DAY.-Last Saturday was
Return Day for this District. From an
examination of the Clerks books, II
seems that something over thousand
cases have been returned, including &C.
cep,ances and confessions. Many OF
the cases are small processes, suits
brought by administrators and exeeu-
tors, and cults brought sor litigation BY
consent on old notes for negroes. The
return though large, is not so great as
anticipated by many, and is not the
largest return ever made in the Dis
trict; there having been q larger, we
learn, at former term Of the Court.
These cases, il is presumed, will not
show any exceedingly large amount of
by the time Of Judgment
and verdict, as heavy pairing down
and sealing process must undoubtedly
take place before that time.
