Snakes in Connecticut.

Rifles Used to Kill COpPerheads, Rattle
snakes, Moccastns and Black Snakes.
DANBURY, Conn, June 15.-Connecticut
has long been noted for its snakes, but it ap-
pears from the reports received that the rep
tiles are unusually plentiful this season.
James Crawford, of this town, while walking
in his garden on Wednesday stepped on a
striped snake which turned and bit his ankle.
With g club he killed the snake and then
drank nearly quart of whiskey, and thus,
as he believes, saved his life.
Levi Gordon and John Kelder saw several
large rattlesnakes run from under stone on
which one of them had stepped. They
killed three of the reptiles and the others
escaped to a crevice in a ledge. Aiming
themselves with clubs the men attao ked
what proved to be den of rattlesnakes and
after an hours work fifty-ene snakes from
eighteen inches to five feet in length lay dead
at their feet
Snake shooting is the most exciting sport
that the warm weather affords in the Lantern
Hill region of the North Stonington swamp
lands. This wild place abounds in reptiles

garter snakes, black snakes, and moccasins
are engaged in mating, it is the best time to
hunt them. The reptiles are not only
bold and fearless, but will even at
tack an intruder if provoked. The copper
head or cottonmouth is the cobra Of
America. 1t is more dangerous than
the rattlesnake, because more sluggish
and it gives no alarm. 1t waits quietly until
a wayfarer steps on it, aud then strikes deep
with its fangs. 1t is commonly understood
in many parts of Connecticut that the
white-throated species of the black snake
sometimes called ''racers'-are dangerous.
This is not true On the contrary, they
avoid persons who approach them, and hasti-
Iy retreat. Black snakes will ascend trees
which overhang fresh water streams, and,
securing comfortable quarters among the
boughs, will remain there for hours.
Akin to the black snake on land is the water
snake, whose color is a sort of dirty lumber.
His bite is poisonous, but he rarely attacks.
Later in the season, about the time for run
ping blackberries to ripen, black snakes coil
themselves on the south side of fences in the
meadows on hot days, and begin to shed
their skins.
Another snake which annoys people at
their country homesteads is the milk snake,
a beautifully colored and innocuous species.
Yesterday Mr.. Fl. w. Lyon, of Westport,
killed one of these in his garden, measuring
about five feet in length
In the towns along the Sound there are
few rattlesnakes, but among the poor lands

No Appeal Desired.

George Fl. Jennings Desires to Serve Out
His Sentence Ina Jail.
It was stated in the Saturday evening pa
pers that an appeal bond had been accepted
in the case of George FL. Jennings, who WAS
convicted on Friday for stealing silver plate
from Sargent & Co. The bonds on
the appeal were fixed at $500. It appears
that when Jennings was informed that an
appeal had been taken in his case he ex-
pressed great surprise and said that he had
given instructions that no appeal should be
taken, preferIing to serve out his sentence
and let the matter drop out of the public
mind as speedily as possible. Yesterday
Mr.. j. B. Sargent received letter from
Jennings in which he distinctly stated that
he did not desire any effort made. to obtain
his release from jail on bonds, preferring to
serve out his sentence.

There is no help in sea voyages, there is no

George H. Jennings Desires to Serve Out

Daily Republican. [volume] ([Wilmington, Del.]) 1874-1890, 1884-07-21

MIR. BLAINE's letter of acceptance is
long, but it is not tiresome reading, even
to those not accustomed to reading long
articles. His views upon the revenue
and the tariff should be read by every
laboring man in the country. If after
that they can vote for free trade, they
should never afterwards complain if the
Democrats succeed to power, establish
free trade and they have no work ex-
cept at the low wages paid for labor in
Europe. Mr.. Blaine takes the ground
that reduction of wages consequent
upon throwing our home market open
to the world would deprive laboring
men of the power to live in comfort,
educate their children, and lay by d
sufficient amount for the necessities di
age. Is this not sound doctrine p
| What better advocate of the rights ol
labor do laboring men want than Mr
Blaine?
