NEW FACTS IN NATURAL HISTORY-A RED FOX
THAT CHASED HoUND-AN0THER THAT PUT
NAN To FIIGHT-REFRESHING SNAKE
STORIES.
correspondence of the Richmond Dispatchl
July l., 1876.
In these rural shades, far from the dust
and heat OF the city, we do not trouble our
selves with the discussion of politics, but
amusc ourselves with more uneNciting ii
no. more profitable themes. In Il recent
talk with some OF my country friends
learned some facts in natural history which
struck me rs interesting ii not new. Speak
ing Of the red fox. one gentleman sad that
recently one OF these productions animals IN
vaded iarln-yard, and an old hound was
set upon him. The fox ran from the dog
until both were ont OF sight OF the house,
when the fox turned upon the dog and
chased him furiously back to the farm-yard,
the canine howlin" fearfully rs he ran.
Another gentleman related how red fox
chased Il man and his dog to the house, and
tried to follow them in =; but fed before the
houstkccpcr. armed with broomStick. One
OF nv friends said that he one day found 4
turtle over one foot in diameter high up a
tree among grape-vincS. grccdily derouring
foX-.:ra,cS. Another said that he had found
the skins OF these grapes in the Stomachs OF
turtles, but supposed that the turtles found
the grapes on the ground or in the water
after they had fallen. \ venerable farmer
told how he one day found black snake
caught Ivy the head by Il highland tcrrapin.
He supposed that the snake first attacked
the tcrrapin. catching him by the head, when
the crrapin closed his. shell upon his en-
envy. Tn" snake was making desperate
efforts to Kill the terrapin and free himself,
raising the tcrrapin as high as he could and
dashin@ him violently to the ground. How
til" affair might have ended is doubtful, rs my
friend terminated the combat by killing
the snake. This story, however, does not
seem entirely consistent with the current
belief that black snakes have their heads so
loosely fastened on that 4 person may seize
one by the tail, give him a jerk, as in
cracking" Il whip, and of comes his head.
Black snakes grow very long and large
here. The son of Il ncighbor, a few days
since. killed one six feet and a half long by
actual measurement. l myself yesterday
killed one five feet long. l discovered him
on the ground, but he fled swiftly and
climbed tall cedar moving rapidly to the
Very tip-top, above which he projected his
head. After much throwing Of rocks, hay
ing lost my youthful skill in that business,
| brought him 10 the earth and crushed his
head. W. c. Z.
