TALE OF UNE1PEoTED BRAVERY.
following is one OF the most thrilling
adventures that itehas been our lot to
chronicle. Three beautiful and brave
young ladics, while enjoying u walk
among the deep shadows and cool re-
treats of the beautiful park adjoining
their home, near Brooks Station,
Bullitt County, KY, encountered a large
snake, measuring forty:cight inches in
length and FIVE inches in circumference.
Instead Of running awuy. these heroic
fair ones attacked the scaiy monster and
succeeded in bruising the serpent's head.
When the crown of his mujesty's head
was laid low, the fairest of the fair, n ct
satisfied with taking the wonld-be dc
stroyer's life, proceeded to disaeot lin.
Horror of horrors! they discovered
that this gay deceiver had just swallow
sd four newly-aedged birds. On being
released the happy little creatures Au'.
tered away, seemingly unconscious Of
the danger they Ind jnst pussed. Tie
snake weighed eight pounds, and was
of the rare opecies known by the familiar
name of ''gurtera snake" The young
ladies' nro proud OF their bravery and
profoundly grateful for their escnpe
from an untmely death.
