sixty feet in length. The snake had
Just finished eating a deer. but had been
unable TO swallow the horns, and they
were still sticking out of the snakes
mouth. The gentleman SAID it was q
common thing in South America for
snakes to eat deer, and when the antlers
refused to ga down into the stomach.
the snake would go and lie in the sun
and let the acid from its stomach work.

monster snake was very likely perform

came on him. They advanced eau

snake sprang forward and struck the

and crushed him into, "a Jelly. Before

Farm Insurance.

A correspondent wants our candid
opinion if it pays to insure farm prop
erty. A wealthy man who has so great
a variety of property that the loss OF
one piece will not cripple his means or
embarrass him in his farm operations.
need not insure. He can hardly afford
to insure, in a financial point OF view.
And yet, in view Of the fact that few
men have enough property, in their
own estimation, the constant danger Of
loss may annoy him, in which case his
ease and comfort requires him to make
his property safe by insurance in some
we'll managed company. But for a
man of moderate means, and where
the loss of his house will deprive his
family OF a home without mortgaging
his property to build another, it is
supreme folly to neglect insurance
enough to cover the value of his farm
buildings and their contents. 1t gives
a feeling of security and ~contentmeni.
We notice the burning of a barn near
Omaha lately, with twenty-six COWS,
eighteen horses, 1000 bushels of corn
