The Season for Snake Stories Having De-
parted the Huntsman Takes a Hand,
MIDDLETON, October S.-John Van Vert
and one or two others were hunting squr-
rels near White Lake, Sullivan county, on
Thursday. Van Vert was aiming at a
squirrel when he was seen to fall to the
ground as though he was shot. When he
was picked up be was blind and helpless.
There was lump at the base of his skull as
big as a hen egg. A hornets nest hung in
a tree near By. The hornets we're flying
angrily about. One had stung Van Vert.
The sting had struck nerve at the base OF
The brain. At last accounts Van Vert was
lying paralyzed and sightless.

On Wednesday John Quick, Of Green,
Pa, went out to shoot woedchuck. tie
shot the animal as it sat summing itself at
the mouth of its burrow, and it fell over.
Quick walked up to pick up his game. DE
took hold of one of the woOdchucks fore
legs. when the animal let him know that It
was not yet dead by closing its jaws on the
hunters wrist Its teeth almost met in his
arm. and the hold was not relaxed, and the
woodchuck died with It's teeth buried in
the flesh. Quick was unable to get the
Jaws loose, and, having no knife to cut them
loose. he was obliged to walk mile home
with the dead animal fast to his wrist. BY
the time he reached home his wrist and arm
were badly swollen. The jaws Of the wood
