Snakes Attending a Funeral.


lChattanOoga Times.l
A few days ago a young man, whose
life hal been devoted mainly to wiclS>
edness and dissipation, died at his
home near Blue Springs, James coun.
~, and his las days were attended
with such singular circumstances that
we deem them worthy of notice. Ly-
ing prostitute on his he'd of sickness,
he realized that his days were fast
drawing 70 a close, and death would
soon claiel its own, soghe Fumponed
his Eaherand motherAo his @lside,
aud y biflei vhdicadtes told them
that he would die-that he would be
externally damned, and that on their
shoulders rested the awful sin.
On the day Of his death, Il few
hours before the om Gus. shadows
gathered about bis brow, the young
man becamea raving maniac and was
uncontmllable.. tie wildly lattled
with imaginary foes, telling those il
the room that devils were after him,
and in heartrendng tones prayed
that they betlliven of. Iialhi> hor-
ribie condition he died. Preparations
we're made for his funeral, and on
the following day Il Baptist minister
was seat tor to conduct the service.
A sad little party of mourning friends
followed the remains to their last
resting place, and when they arrived
at the new.made grave, which was
ina cluster OF pines nar the house,
they witnessed q very strange pro-
ceediag which sent terror thrilling
through their henrts. A large heap
of logs lay near the grave, and when
the coffin was olened$or last view,
out of this heap OF logs there emerg-
ed Il large black snake about SIX feet
in length, followed 10y numerous small
ones, all of Them utteriug his~iul
mournful sound. They came to the
coffin, stood erect IN their tails, and
viewed the remains as compaccutly
as would human beings. The specla
tors were so amazed by this turn of
affairs that they stood amazed With
fear, but after a while regainiug their
presence of mind, they drove tie
snakes back into the log heap. The
coffin was lowered into the grave. and
then the snakes re-appeared ard
plunged into the grave, taking refuge
under and around the coffin. No eff.
fort was made to extricate them, so
they were covered up and buried
with the remains of the young man.
This story was told Us by perfect
ly reliable gentleman, whose veracity
can not be doubted, and we can attest
he was perfectly sober and serious
when the incident was related.
