A Snake Laying Eggs.
now BoA-UoNsrRIoToR AsToNIslIED
HER owSER--A sNAKE-EGG oMELErrE.

Crowds of peop,e visited Railroad
Grove, Savin Rock, Conn, TO witness
the unusual spectacle of boa. construct
or twenty three feet long and about
two feet in circumference laying eggs
under tent there
The big snake is owned by Frank j.
Pilling, who is well known among
showmcn by his connection with the
Coup show and business manager of
the actress Annie Pixloy. 1t was
brought from Calcutta, and is worth
about $4,000.
Mr. Filling always supposed he own
ed a male snake and it was always
billed as the Jumbo python. Last
night he placed it in its box for the
night as usual, covered with blankets
When he came to look into the box
this morning great was his a,tonish-
ment to see that during the night the
snake had laid half bushel--sixty or
scventy-eggs about as big as goose
eggs, and that it was still laying. The
eggs were white and soft, having no
shell. Some were round and some OBJ
long. They could be stretched like
India rubber. They were laid in
neatly formed pyramid around which
the snake lay circed. She was quite
cross in the morning aud resented
being handled by Mr.. Pilling or his
men.
Mr.. Pilliug was greatly excited. To
think, he said, "That all the while I've
had that snake always took it for
male until to-day. | bought it in New
York at the Central Park Gardens,
and there, too, it was called male. |
have sold it to the management of the
geological gardens in Philadelphia, TO
be delivered in Sept. | am going to
try and hatch out some Of those eggs
and shall place some in sand near where
the cooking furnace at llales restaurant
is and shall bury some in the sand
down by the rock whore the sun can
help along the Matching process. Some
of the eggs ] shall make into an ONE
lette just to see how snakes eggs will
taste. Most of the eggs shall leave
with the snake and perhaps she will
hatch them out in some way. AS a
matter Of fact | don't expect to succeed
in Matching any of the eggs, but the
thing could be donc under more favor
able circumstances.

 On Sunday last the Rev. W. H. Moore of Hartford, secretary of the Connecticut Mis- sionary society, preached in the First Con- gregational church morning and evening. He spoke of the so-called home mission work by the Congregationalists outside this State and in it. Both his discourses, delivered without notes, filled with facts, were alike interesting and instructive and suited to stimulate the good people of the Oongrega- -tional order to iberalIy patronize their mis- sions in aid of Connecticut's weak churches, and of the pioneer churches of the West. He spoke admirably of the good work done by the so-called Congregational ministers fund of this State.

 MT. Hotchkiss said he had been away and only returned recently, and had made ar rangements to have the nuisance abated. He admitted having received the notice before going away.
 Judge Studley, in finding him guilty, said :: ''If everybody paid as little attention to the notice as you have done think we would all be dead very soon.'' He was fined $50, from which an appeal was taken.
