A VERY INTERESTING SNAKE
QTnRV

Hamilton (O) Cor. Cincinnati News-Journal.
Last Thursday, while George Los
gan was blowing in his bottom lands,
he was surprised when there were
turned over in the furrow q number
f curious appearing eggs, which
seemed not unlike those of hen
without the she'll, with the exception
that they we're not quite the same
shape.
Mr.. Logan gathered up the eggs,
fourteen in number, and took them
home. 10 al old ash barrel near
the house was a patient and motherly
hen sitting upon imaginary eggs
He placed them under the protection
of the hen with such an ardent long
ing to become q mother. The hen
was equal to the occasion, and buck
led down to business on the new
deal with unrelaxed zeal. The far
mer, highly grati6ed. departed with
his family the next day for Urbsna
He thought nothing more about the
eggs until his return. Upon enter
ing the-yard the first sight that gree
ted his vision was the old hen 10 the
lawn, chuckling away at tremend
Gus rate, scratching, Squawkiug, aud
evincing every other demonstration
of delight Mr.. L'gan's little girl,
upon approaching the cIucker, gave
a scream of terror and fed, crying
"Suakes !" Mr. Logan then cauti-
ously advanced. and found that the
hen had about her a brood of fourteen
little black snakes, all between four
and six inches long, and as pert and
clipper as young snakes ever were.
>trange to relate, they answered the
old hens clucks of affection and
gathered around her bill to snatch
choice flies and insects and dainty
bits. A note of warning from the
hen aud not snake could be seen.
They would instantly dart under
leaves or grass and be entirely con
cealed from view. As night sp.
preached the hen and her brood of
serpents sought the old barrel, and
each baby snake found the protect"
ing warmth of mother hens wing. -
This strange combination still exists,
and crowds of the neighbors have
FASTENED to view the wonderful sight.
Mr. Logan, for the present, has con
cluded not to interfere with the fond
attachment between reptile and fowl,
and is only waiting to see which will
tire of the bargain or discover the
mistske first, the snakes or the hen.

BANDITS OF THE YOSEMITE.
Buffalo Courier.

Henry A Roy, the Buffalo man
who passed through the thrilling ad-
venture of a stage coach robbery
short time ago, is back in the city
again. Yesterday he told repor-
