A Snake Guards a Mill.

At Cox and Browns mill, some
three miles from Bolton, says the
Anderson Journal, small snake,
belonging to the tribe known to a
great many as the "king SNAKE" has
taken up his abode regularly, and
among the rats and mice he is a fell
destroyer He has become quite
tame and gentle, and often, when the
keeper Of the mill takes a noon day
nap, his snakeship will crawl around
and over him, and frequently lie
quietly upon his bosome. We have
frequently heard, rather tradition
ally, that this species of serpent was
harmless towards man but was a
relentless enemy towards all other
scrpents, and as substantiating this
idea we will relate q further incident
concerning the snake under dicus~
sion, which comes TO us through an
authentic source. Que day recently
medium-sized water moccasin was
seen lying on the sand below the
mill, and ere long the king snake was
seen approaching him cautiously. -
lie crossed the small stream which
runs from the race below the wheel
and very slow y reared the mecca
sin, all the while swaying his heat
from the right to the left. This mo.
ton was more and more CONTRACTED
the nearer he approached, until whel
within q tew inches of his victim, h
lny tor some moments perfectly mo-
tionless. Then suddenly he darte,
upon the moccasin, caught him BY
The back of the neck, and proceeded
to coil himself around him. Whcr
lie had made several coils he free,
his mouth hold upon the moccasin't
neck and by making loops of bis
body and inserting his head through
them, he tied himsclfin two or three
knots around his vic,im's body,
which must have been very tight in
deed, for when be had remained
there some ten minutes he loosed
himself and crawled triumphantly
back to the mill, leaving the dead
body of the moccasin upon the sand.
