BITTEN BY A COPPERHIAD.

\ dispatch from Reading to the Phila-
delphia Times says: "A most distressing
affair took place this morning at the camp
meeting of the Evangelical Association.
near Sinking Springs. this county. Mrs.
Mary Deitzel, aged 81, Il sister of the pre-
siding Elder. the Rev. j. NJ. Savior, was
so badly bitten by a copperhead snake. on
the camp ground, that she was brought to
Reading in an unconscious condition, and
her life is despaired of. Mrs Deitzel re-
sides in Philadelphia, and several weeks
ago came to Reading on visit. Mrs.
Deitzel had an apartment in the large FAM
lily tent OF Mr.. Schnader. On Thursday
morning Mrs. Deitzel arose and went to
the stove. just back of the tent. The tents
are arranged in a circular form, and be-
hind each tent are the cooking utensils and
stoves. Mrs. Deitzel desired to prepare
an early breakfast. She reached down
under the stove to get some kindling wood
that had been placed there to dry. when
her left hand had been Withdrawn from
under the stove. Mrs. Deitzel experienced
slight pain. She saw a drop of blood on
the top of the knuckle of her first finger of
the left hand. She thought probably a
splinter had pricked her. or that wood
mosquito or spider had stung her. She
paid no attention to it, but as her hand and
arm commenced swelling and getting stiff
she became alarmed
IAN hour after she had reached under
the stove she made her alarm known.
The circumstances were related to several
young men tenting near by and they went
on search. To their great amazement
and astonishment, there, under the stove,
in coil, was lying a poisonous copper
head snake. They instantly dispatched it.
1t measured Is inches in length, and was
quite thick for its length. II had brown
body on top and was fesh-colored under
meath. DR.. o. Saylor. of Schuylkill Coun-
ty, was on the ground and he attended to
the sufferer Her wrist, hand, and fore
arm were greatly swollen The flesh
turned yellow and then blue. Mrs. Deit-
eel swooned in feverish excitement. The
sinews of the wrist became greatly en-
larged and the entire lett arm was stiffened.
DIR. Saylor sent to the village and admin
istered copious draughts of whisky to
counteract the poison. He also directed
that the sufferer be well wrapped in
blankets, and taken home, where she
could receive the best treatment and conf
forts of life. The whisky rendered her
unconscious She was brought home in a
wagon and carried up stairs. She is still
in a very low condition. her left arm and
side being much swollen.
