AN AMAZON MOB.

READING, Pa, May 20.
An awful death of a young man from
fnake bite is reported from Mecl1ville, this
county. Four weeks ago Peter Strause,
aged twenty-one, was at work in the woods.
While removing timber he experienced a
sharp, singing PAIN In his left hand, but
paid no attention 20 it at first. In a
few days, however the arm began
swelling, and finally the entire body
became swollen and very much
in7amed. Tt was then believed that snake
had bitten him, although the early season did
not warrant such belief. Strause became
very i'll and his body was peculiarly eOlored.
The poison had terrible effect on him. He
had been perfectly healthy yet in few weeks
his teeth dropped out and he was nearly
blind. Medical aid could afford no relief.
His eyes were fixed and jaws set; he was
unable to take any food or water owing TO
the gangTenous condition of his throat, and
he died in spasms. 1t is believed that either
a black spider or a copperhead snake bit
him.
