A DELAWARE SNAKE SroRY-The fol
lowing description of a strange and
deadly reptile found in Sussex County,
Del, is given by the Seaford Citizen:
"A curious and dangerous snake, the
Only one of the kind that has ever been
found in this part of the country, was
killed by some workman on the farm of
Francis Ins.ey, near Wetipquin, Sussex
County. 1t measured twenty-eight
inches in length and two inches in cir
with white, which, when exsposed to
the rays of the sun, shine with the brill
fancy of polished silver. 1t was provid-
ed with two rows OF teeth, twenty-six
on each side, very sharp, yet are different
from those of the snake common 10 this
country. About five inches from its
tail are two thick grisly protuberances,
about one inch in length, one on each
eide Of the body. Each protuberance
contains eighteen horns, about one
eighth OF an inch in length. They are
hollow, and the poison is supplied to
them by means of small ducts connect
ing with thin, transparent bag about
one inch below the protuberances. We
are told that some years ago . snake,
supposed to be horned snake, attack
ed man in this same vicinity, and in
order to escape he jumped beh linda
large tree, and the snake striking with
such fierce buried its horn into the trunk
about one-eighth of an inch. In thirty
minutes thereafter a duliness in the
leaves was perceptible, and strange to
say III another hour they commenced
falling of, and to-day it is nothing but
