death and visited the body with

The conduct of the hideous rep

prev. The conduct of the hideOus rep
tile as the men approached was peculiar
in the extreme. With it's hood and head
distended, its red jaws wide open, its
long, supple tongue striking maliciously
right and left, it ran around its victim
almost erect on its tail, kissing savagely,
and making that strange grinding noise
which is possessed by only one reptile
of the snake family, the milk snake.
Rage, jealousy and excitement had made
the creature as supple as o cat, SO that
it was almost impossible to strike it with
stone beside, the men were afraid to
throw with any force from fear of strik-
ing the helpless and PROSTATE child.
Sometimes the reptile charged with such
rapidity and fury that the men were
forced to retreat, when the creature
would return to its victim and coil itself
in her lap. A neighbor seeing the dis
turbance, arrived with a pitchfork and
succeeded in transfixing the snake, which
measured three feet two inches in length,
and seven inches In circumference at the
largest part Of its body.
The unfortunate girl was carried
home, when it was found that her leg
was terribly swollen, and of a spotted
green color like the snake itself. The
mother of the child, without the slight
est hesitation, commenced to suck the
wound, and soon reduced the swelling
and drove away the color, after which a
drawing poultice Of red cabbage was ap-
piled, and ere morning all signs OF swell
ling had disappeared. The girl has now
thoroughly recovered, and has sustained
no serious injuries save q shock of the
nervous system from which her young
frame will soon recover. Hamilton

The Bigge st Snake Story Yet.

Some time ago Mr.. Robert Williams,
near this place, heard one of his wife's
ducks making a noise as if something
were after it; he got out of bed and went
to where she was, but could not see or
hear anything. He went the second time,
but with the same results. He told his
wife he guessed the ducks had gone
crazy. Next morning he went to where
the old duck was sitting upon her eggs,
under brush pile, and imagine his
establishment when he saw large black
snake coiled up under the duck. Hissnake-
ship having swallowed twelve eggs, Mr..
Williams cut his head off, cut it open,
took the eggs out and placed them
under the duck, and eleven of that dozen
eggs Matched. Mr.. Williams word is
as good as his bond.-Oveaa (Ky.)

A Canada Snake Story.

1t is very seldom that the newspapers
of the Dominion are called upon to
chronicle a genuine snake story Rattle
snakes and copperheads are so few and
far between that they are very seldom
met with, and their depredations never
heard of. However, a genuine snake
story comes from Ancaster this week, the
victim being young girl named Lucy
Smith, residing in the village of Ancas-
ter. and the reptile one of those hideous,
yellow spotted monsters known as milk
snakes. The girl Lucy had gone out in
the morning with her pail for the purpose
of picking huckleberries. Her feet and
ankles we're quite bare, but Lucy, like
most young country girls, was hardy and
strong, and picked her way through the
brambles with as much grace and cour-
age as an Indian.
All that she remembers of her misfor-
tune is, that as she was walking through
some burdocks she stepped upon some
thing soft, Shiny and crawling, and on
feeling a stinging sensation In her ankle,
like the touch of thistle, looked down,
and to her inexpressible horror, beheld
a huge milk snake of extraordinary pro-
portions Irvine itself about her leg and
strike at it with distended hood and jaws.
She remembered nothing more than that
she screamed, until she found herself in
her own bed at home Fortunately, at
the time of her adventure, several men
were working in an oat-feld near by.
and having seen the girl go into the
berry patch, and hearing shortly after
ward piercing scream, which told Of
fear, repugnance, and agony as plainly
as words could have done, they hastened
into the patch, and after a search of half
an hour, gave it up as a bad job, argu-
ing that probably the girl had been
stJlng by a wasp or some other venomous
insect and left the berry patch by some
other obscure way.
After the men had gone back to their
work, three little girls entered the patch
for the purpose of picking berries.
They, too, shortly afterward commenced
to scream, one after another, and ran in
to the field where the men were working,
when one of the girls fell down In fit.
The others told the men, as we'll as they
could through their fear and excitement,
that Lucy Smith was lying in the berry
patch, and that big worm had killed
her and was eating her up. They i'm
mediately fastened to the patch, where
they beheld a sight which was enough tx
make the blood Of the strongest man run
cold. There lay the unfortunate girl il
a dead swoon, and In her lap lay a large
milk snake, which was very jealous of it,

Wonders of Colorado.

The reports of the Hayden survey in
dictate the most fattering results In the
way of discovering ancient ruins and a
new domain of canons and mountain
landscape never before visited by ex-
plorers The discoveries promise much
In the way of further geographical
knowledge of the great West, and, in
the discovery of ancient ruins, will add
many important chapters to our early
history. Prof. Hayden, in letter to
the Interior Department, in speaking Of
these discoveries by Mr.. Gannett's divis-
ion of his party, says this subject will
be thoroughly investigated, and sketches,
photographs, and other material will be
secured for most valuable report. The
subject is one which is attracting the at
tention of the whole civilized world.
Mr.. Gardner, one of Prof. Hayden's
principal assistants, in one of his letters,
after describing dry and heated march
of Is miles without water, under broil-
ing sun, over bare, ashen soil, in which
the mules sunk to their fetlocks, he says:
Next morning we turned to seek ford
of the Grand river, up over which Lieut..
Gunnison had passed, with wagons, III
1855, the deeply-cut wheel-ruts being
still visible. Far off over the plain
came a small cloud of dust, in
whose center the glasses showed a gal
Looping horseman. IT was Mr.. Cannot,
the topographer, surveying this district.
He came to guide the supply train, and
to show us shorter way to the the Sierra
La Sal, which avoids the desert valley of
the Grand. A remarkable and hitherto
unknown canon, 1000 to 5000 feet
deep, and 40 miles long, is cut from the
Gunnison to the Dolores river. Through
it leads an Indian trail. By the timely
arrival of Mr.. Cannot much suffering
from the desert heat was saved. In ex-
change for this we have ridden through
one of the grandest and most beautiful
canons in Colorado" This canon is
thus more infinitely described But
the strangest Typographical feature that
[ have ever seen is a cross canon, con-
Meeting the Gunnison with the Dolores.
It is about 80 miles long, with straight
course, about 80 degrees north Of east
and south of west. It enters the Gum
nison about six miles above its mouth.
in the lap of the Uraweep canon. The
height of the walls increases quite reg
ularly with the slope of the great Roy
back, until at its summit they reach a
height of 5000 feet. The walls are, for
most of it's course, granite, in vertical
cliffs, 800 to 1900 feet high. capped by
layers of red sandstone. Except near
the Gunnison river, the valley is nearly
mile wide, grassy, and with stream
on each side of the divide. The divide
is mere prairie swell. The slope is
much greater on the east than on the
west side. Whether this canon be the
ancient course of the Dolores, flowing to
the Gunnison, future exploration will
determine. There is no sign of disrup-
ton anywhere about. It is evidently a
canon made by erosion. Mr.. Atkinson,
of the party, has made careful notes OF
this canon, and will be prepared to make
a detailed map of it, on scale of one
mile to the inch
