Sam. Westall, the veteran Snowman of
Perry County, concluded, on last Satur-
day, the 18th day of October, 1873, that as
he knew nothing about the management
of museum, he would retire from the
business, and, accordingly, about 10 o'clock
a M, on the aforesaid mentioned day, he,
with the assistance of several of the "at-
taches" of the museum, managed, after a
sharp encounter, in dispatching the last of
his large collection Of wild beasts-one
large snake, of the copperhead species.

held an inquest over the remains. No
marks of violence were found opon the
