A Genuine Snake story.

In Fayette county, near the line OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, there
is famous rattle snake den, which
has always been a source OF terror and
fear to those who have looked over its
precincts, as well as to those who have
even heard of the fearful revelations
regarding the size and the number OF
the venomous reptiles which infest this
poison-stricken cavern. In numbers
their name is legion, and in age, size
and downright radcalism, there are no
figures or names to represent them. A
short time since, two daring young men
resolved to make an experiment, by way
of forming some insight as regarded
their numbers, and clothing themselves
from head to foot in suits OF thick
buckskin, (such as our friend Donnal-
ly uses 10 make his best gloves with
large, sharp knives in hand, they sal-
lied forth into the poison-iniested region
They entered cutting and slashing, the
snakes rattliug, Kissing and striking at
their adversaries, and when these enter
prising youths landed on t'other side,
their buckskiu clothes were sight to
see! As snake would strike, his fangs
would be deeply and firmly implanted
in the buekskin, and off would go his
head, by well directed blow by the
hand and knife. By making a fair
count, it was found that two hundred
and forty snake heads were attached to
the clothes of one OF the party, and one
hundred and sixty heads firmly fasten-
ed to the other. More would have been
secured but it WAS not a good day for
snakes. But any one who does not be-
lieve the foregoing true story will be
convinced OF its entire correctness by
enquiring at this Office for the name OF
our in mant.-Greenbrier Independent.
