Lucy LEE SQUEEzEp-A daughter of
Mr.. Charles lee, living in the suburbs of
Belvidere, Warren county, n j y went out
berrying on Saturday last, and while pluck.
ing the ripened and delicious berries from
of the bushes on Crsig's farm, she became
cognizant of the fact of something tighten
ing itself around her waist, and in examin-
ing her clothing imagine her great surprise
and CONSERVATION ut discovering u huge
black snake coiIed around her. She en-.
deavored to rid herself of this unpleasant
and dangerous visitor, but his snak esbip
refused to "let up" and poor Lucy's cries
for help soon brought some men TO her
rescue, who, very fortunately, were cngag-
ed in working only at a short distance
Her clothing was partly lor1 from her per-
son on their arrival, and Tho snake forced
to yield, when he at once beat hasty ro-
treat aud made his escape. The lady wus
greatly frightened, aud justly too, we
think, and we doubt if she has any desire
ter. She sustained no serious injuries from !
the squeezing to which shc was subjected.
Had not timely AID arrived, no doubt the
snake would have caused her death, as ho
was large one and it was diflicult task
to force him to relax his hold Bciehlcre
