STRANGE ADVENTURE OF A YoUNe Man

ADVENTURE OF A YOUNG Man
WIFE A VENOMOUS REPTILE. "A strange
ana horrible story reaches this city from
Nopie township, this county,, which has
caused much attention in that locality.
AD0ut three weeks ago a young man named
Walton and a companion. while working in
the harvest field, discovered a snake coiIed
up IN a shock of wheat. The boy was pre-
pairing to strike it when Walton asked him
to let him Kill it, and he seized a large club
Tor that purpose. Only the head ofthe snake
could be seen, and it did not look remarka-
BILE for size. Walton advanced near the
Wheat-shock, and was preparing to aim a
blow, when, the reptile darted at him, spring
ing near his face with a kissing sound.
alton tell talntlng to the ground, and it
was thought that he had been bitten. His
companions removed him a short distance
from the scene, at the same time calling
Justify for help. By the time assistance
was at hand, the snake had disappeared in
to a hole near the shock of wheat. The
boy described it as being five or six feet in
length and measuring probably ten or twelve
inches around.
From the description given no one could
tell its species, but it must have been an
lnterloper, seldom, if ever, seen in this part
of the country.
Young Walton was carried to his home
and a doctor was Immediately sent for. On
arriving the physician made a though exam
nation of the body Of the youth, but failed
to discover any sign whatever of either a
bite or sting. Walton remained weak slight
~ unwell for a short time, but was soon suf-
ficiently recoved to be able to resume his
usual duties.
1t was then thought that it was only a
bad case Of fright, and that his encounter
with the reptile had injured him to no great
extent. However, after remaining in appa-
rent health for several days, on last Tues
day he was suddenly taken sick. He began
to suffer intensely, and at first the nature of
his illness could not be ascertained. He
grew worse hourly, and at this time his lire
is despaired of. His flesh began to swell
and urn spotted, and of a peculiar color,
and in the last day or two it has begun to
scale and fall off, SO far, it has been i'm
possible to relieve his intense suffering. He
| seems to be suffering the horrors of indie
scribable torture, which will certainly end
in death. No improvement in his condi-
ton can be noticed, and, with his flesh drop
ping off inch by inch, he is slowly wasting
away, and dying a slow death, accompanied
by u~nimaginable suffering. Those who have
seen him say that he presents a sight too
sickening to behold.
The general opinion is that wheu the rep
tile sprang at his face h: inhaled it's breath
/ and that the poison has now coursed through
his entire system. This seems to bee the
correct solution of the case. Great sympS'
thy is expressed for Walton, the unfCrtu.
nate youth, and for his agoniZed friends
The facts were brought to this city by
prominent resident of Noble township, and
were narrated as above.-Shel6yUtWe Specta'

The story of & Watch,

Twenty seven years ago Joel Rice, of Fair Haven, lived on a farm in North Haven. While engaged in blowing ono day, he looked in his pocket for his watch and found it miss. ing. Knowing that he had 1t when he en- tered tho field, he concluded that it must have dropped from his pocket. He narrowed the field over hoping to find it, but did not suc- ceed in doing so. He used several days in his search without avail, and remarked to 8 neighbor that some one would find watch in that field sometime hence when they were blowing. The property changed hands, and five years ago farmer, who was blowing the same field, turned up from the soil the lost timekeeper. He knew nothing about the fact of MT. Rice losing his watch and 80 laid the relict away. A few days ago he was re- lating the circumstance, when 8 gentleman present told him of Mir. Rices loss. The farmer sought out that gentleman, and on the owner giving descript ion of the lest watch it was returned to him, after an absence of morei than quarter of century. MT. Rice proposes to have the old timepiece placed in running order again. Ho prized it highly as an heirloom.

In the bensfcences of which ladies have charge, in the social life of the city, in the cultivation of art in which sbe had much more than au amateurs accom- plishment, in whatever she engaged, with that frank whoIeheartedness and sincerity which characterized her, she won the warm regard of all who knew her. And beyond the circle of her acquaintance, the bright, engaging face, the kind manner, the Ioveliness that was not more of person than of character, added brightness to the world"

Theroughbred sympathy.

An accident occurred on the Columbia river a few days ago which strikingly illustrates the humane instincts and sympathy that exist in animals. A number of horses were being conveyed on the boat. when, during a com motion among them, one was kicked and had it's leg broken. It was decided to kill the poor brute and put it out of it's misery. He was dispatched by an axe in the hands of one of the employees of the boat. The celebrated thoroughbred running stallion, Delaware, was quietly watching the movement, and just as the blow was struck he gave loud scream and fell backward with shower of blood stream ing from his nostrils. For upward of three hours his agonies were fearful, and it was thought he would die, but he finally rallied and may recover. Delaware is IS years old and has national reputation, having beaten Ansel and other champions of the turf. He is owned by the Hon. J. W. Nesmith.
