SNAKE SroRlEs. Big suake storiea are now
IN order. The HALLS Springs snake story.
In Baltimore county, set The ball in motion,
aud il Is still rolling on. The track Of that
monster, where he crossed the road measured
eight inches across the length could only be
eonieetured. A snake eight inches thick
Is o pretty formidable reptile, and would be a
very ugly obstacle in the path ofpedesirian or
equestrian. Gettysburg, Pa. not TO be out
done IN snake stories, discovered monster
reptile there, whose proportions partake Of
the marvellous. 1t was something less than.
as big as all out doors, and the party that first
discovered II, had his eyes to protrnde from
their sockets TO such an extent, that his visual
orbs could not take in its entire dimensions
lie saw snake, or big pile OF snakes, some
EARTH and some sky, but which he saw the
most Of, deponent sayeth not Well, that was
q pretty clever snake story, as well as that Of
Halls Springs. But, Carroll county is not
to be beaten, whether in raising big corn and
big wheat crops, big babies, big colts, big
hogs, or big snakes. Let Halls Springs and
Gettysburg trot ont their big reptiles, as much
as they please, Carroll county can match
them, and oyermatch them, too, or else
''there' sno snakes Anonster black snake,
so old that it has become moss grown
and rusty, has made It's head quarters in
Bachman's Valley, and has been seen sew
eral times the present summer, by different
people. II is believed to be a centennial
snake, and II It can be captured alive, will be
sent to the Geological Gardens, Philadelphia,
as Carroll county contribution to the great
centennial exhibition Of next year. A party,
with dogs and guns, were to have turned out
TO hunt his snakeship, it is said, on Monday
week, but as they could not get the right kind
OF dogs, they did notdiscover hisretreat. He
was seen, some two years ago by reliable
gentleman who is not afraid Of snakes, and
never carries snakes in his hat. The monster
was crossing q lane, sixteen feet wide, his
head protruding beyond the fence in the field
on one side, and his tail extending beyond
the fence into the field on the other side. The
lane was accurately measured. The length
Of the snake can only be conjectured, as the
middle section Of the reptile was all that was
within unohstructed yieN the extremities be.
ing partially hidden by lie fence on either
side Of the lane. Ii Halls Springs or Gettys.
burg should undertake to beat that snake, Car
roll will Ego one better. But, all jokes aside,
the gentleman who saw the big snake in Bach
mans Valley, says it reminded him more Of
a huge hay-pole, such as the farmers use to
conhne hay upon their wagons, than anything
else to which he could liken it. There is no
doubt of the existence Of a monster snake in
that locality, as il has been seen several times
by different people.
