SNAKES.

A Medina butcher found snake
eight inches long in a COWS liver.
In Santa Barbara county, Califor-
MIA, they are killing rattlesnakes nine
feet long.
Two little negroes killed a rattle
snake in Taylor county, Ga, which
was y feet long and had ei ghteen rat
ties.
After n. 5. Walker, of Colorado,
Texas, had been compelled to use his
revolver for bali an hour TO beat off
rattlesnakes the romance Of camp life
vanished aud he Immediately struck
his tent.
y large snake of the coach whip
species attacked Joe Sluder, "A negro of
COvington, and coiled itself about his
shoulders. Before it could be remov-
ed it had bitten him severely upon the
hand.
DR.. \. X. Durham, q dentist, was
at the home of Mayor Russell, in An
derson county, 5. c., when his little
granddaughter, six years of age, was
bitten by a rattlesnake on the foot.
No remedy was at hand. Or Dur
ham heroically applied his lips TO the
wound and sent n messenger for
whisky. Large doses of the liquor
were given the child and she recovered.
The doctor suffered no serious con-
sequences.
About mile and half southeast of
Rockville, II, l., there is a noted rem
devious for snakes and people living
thereabouts are very careful how they
approach the spot. OF the hundreds
of snakes which have their homes at
this den one has always been q terrC r
to the neighborhood. 1t has been
known that an enormous serpent had
for several years infested the place,
but no one wanted 30 tackle him and
be was left alone. His snakeship is at
least twenty feet long and a foot and
half in circumference, of a dark
brown color, and it is thought to be
the one that escaped from the circus
at Newport some yeLrs agJ.
