HOW THE CROWS ATTACK
SNAKES IN OHIO.

A friend informs us that while
riding in the country one day last
week his attention was attracted by
the peculiar actions of pair of
crows in a field few rods from the
road. After rising to an altitude
of eight or ten feet the birds would
turn suddenly and pounce upon
some object on the ground, then
rise in the air again and repeat the
operation. Being at a loss to know
what kind of a trohc the birds were
engaged in, he left his team and
went into the field 10 investigate the
matter. When within few yards
of the scene he was not little sur
prised on finding the crows engaged
in lively combat with large black
snake. They would swoop down
upon his snakeship with open beak
and endeavor to seize him. but at
every attempt the snake would auick-
ly coil himself and make sa,age
thrust at his would-be captors, which
made it difficult for them to get hold
of him. Our informant was not long
permitted to view the interesting
spectacle. as the crows became
at his approach and few
off, when he dispatched the black
snake with a club, winch measured
over four feet in length.
