P,lrzEed.

The last field day of the Maine
Historical Society, was enlivened by
an address from Mr.. 4 X Sewall,
who said that at special meeting
of the Society. held at Augusta, in
February, 1869, the question of the
existence of paved streets at Pemaquid
was discussed, some alleging ocular
demonstration, and others denying the
fact. On motion of Hon. J. w. Brad
bury, large committee of the Society
was appointed to- visit the spot. On
the 26th of August, following, tire
. committee proceeded to Bristol, and
found the half had been told, for sec
tiors of pavements, artistically built
of beech cobble stones, with perfect
cutters and curbings, were opened and
examined, unearthed from the depth
of q foot or more of soil, above which
the tall grown grass had long waved
and often been shorn and made into
hay.
Further examination disclosed other
facts, showing that Maine had mys-
terious but buried history, to unearth
which the citizens of Bristol were
promised field day exercise in two
years from that date by this Society,
on condition that they would make
fuller explanations of their ancient re-
mains, and gather up for the use OF the
Society all the fragments of history
within reach and a special comm!tte
was organized 10 take this duty in
charge, the remarkable results of
whose efforts in developing the arch
eology of this spot have seemed TO
justify the recommendation that
granite shaft here lie raised in the in

the beginnings of New England here

Milk Snake in the Dairy.

Among the curious incidents that
occur in bush life was that of an adj
venture with an enormous milk snake.
A young wife of my acquaintance
lived in log house newly erected IN
limestone district in Western Cana
da. There were several large fissures
and caverns in the rock very near the
spot selected for the locality of the
iarm house. 1t was well known that
snakes of considerable size were occa-
sionally seen in that township, but

harmless My young friend with her
baby was churning butter in the dairy,
built close to small marshy swamp,
where beautiful spring gushed from
among the rocks. 1t had always been
the custom when. the lady's husband
was wanted in hurry, or on any I'M
portant business, for large dinner
horn to be blown in peculiar man
ner. She was very young and ner-
vous, only about seventeen years OF
age, and had no servant or female
friend with her, and hence to quiet her
fears, her husband had shown her how
to blow the horn IN this peculiar man.
ner, promising that he and any one
about the farm, when they heard the
peculiar sound should hurry homo as
last rs possible. The baby lay in her
cradle, in the mild autumn sunshine,
Just within the dairy house door. The
mothers attention was directed to a
rustling noise outside the cradle. She
made a step forward, and was paral-
wed with fear and horror at seeing
large snake about ten feet long, and
larger than fork handle, passing slow
ly beyond the cradle, its head erected
about eigh inches, and, as she i'm
agined, looking into it as slowly pass

and all danger to the baby over. The
snake crawled slowly along and appear
ed to be seeking for some mode of in
gress to the dairy we'll known to itself.
At the corner there was hoard nailed
up against the logs to keep out the
cats. The reptile put its head into a
cavity formed by the board and pro-
truding log, and gradually disappeared
under the board and between the log
buildings. The young wife for the
became almost fascinated with
terror, but still retained perfect con-

The noise of crawling behind the
board continued, and in a few mo
ments the head and about a foot oi
the snake appeared over the board and
within the dairy. It was evidently
bent Oh going in, as it probably had
often, although unseen, done before.
A pitch fork stood by the door, and
directly over that stood the dinner
horn. The young wife seized the fork
with one hand, and the horn with the
other, and with one plunge the sharp
steel tines of the fork were driven
through the neck of the snake, and
deeply into soft chestnut log that
formed part Of the building. Then
commenced a violent threshing and
squirming behind the board. There
was upward of foot of the tail pro
jecting beneath, the board being about
seven feet long. This extremity of
the reptile then became greatly agita-
ted, working and twisting and thrash
ing about in a decided manner. The
stab with the fork held the snakes
head fast, but his struggles were so
fierce that our heorine was momentar
lily afraid it would get loose, and as
sured it would have done harm had
she let go her hold. So she seized the
horn and blew the alarm note with
all her might again and again. The
husband hearing it, and the continued
repetition, called the attention of the
man and boy, and they all ran home
ward at the top of their speed, and
rs they rushed into the yard the sight
of the lady holding the great brute of
a snake, with the fork through its
neck, the tail thrashing about; the
lady awakened by the horn, screaming
with might aud main, combined with
the calls of the young wife to hurry
on formed an exciting picture.
Of course, few moment saw the
snake beheaded, pulled out and laid in
the yard, and there being no breathing
time, all was related that we have
written. The mother, although at
first dreadfully frightened, had now
got her blood up; and, unlike some
city danes, who probably would have

her from fainting fits, she soon became
calm, and but little appearance of the
skirmish remained, except the height
ened color and bright sparkle in her
eye She confessed when she saw the
head of the snake within one foot of
the face of the baby, and above it,
looking into the cradle, all the blood
in her body seemed to rush to her
heart, but the moment it passed HARM
lessly by, and she had an opportunity
of going into action with the pitchfork,
the relief was instantaneous, and her
courage returned, as the snake found
to its cost. Afterward; by placing a
pan Of milk near a particular place
among the rocks, three others were
killed, very large, but nothing like the

who measured ten feet six inches in
length, and almost as large in the body

And the more I struck the opinion

And things had long forgotten kept

OF little matters betwixt us, when Bet

And these things they flashed all thro'
me as you know things sometimes

When a feller's alone in the darkness
and every thing is still.

And wien I'D done my supper l draw

And give it TO her without a word, for

And then hummed little tune, but

Then Betsey she got her specs from off

And read the article over quite softly

Read it by little and little, for her

And lawyers writin' amt no print,
especially when it's cold.
And after she'd read little she give

And kindly said she was afraid 1 was

But when she was through she went

And kissed me for the first time in

l don't know what you'll think, Sir

But 1 picked up the agreement and

And told her we'd bury the hatchet

And we struck an agreement never to
