SxAEE BfTE.--Mr. Charles Ball, who
is engaged in getting out tan bark or
Blue Creek in this county, informs us
that one Of the men in his employ, nam
ed Granville England, was bitten By
snake on Thursday Of last week.
Mr.. Ball took razor and made mn
incision in the arm where the pison
had been deposited, filling IL with onions
and salt, and also giving the sufferer
plenty Of whiskey to drink.
He says the antidotes acted like a
charm. that The arm did not even swell,
but is healing rapidly.
We arc glad this has proved an EN-.

are certainly preferable 10 suffering and
death by poisonous snake bites
