Mss Elizabeth Carson, aged twenty
wears Of RoxLurv, was directed to repair
10 blackberry patch, a short distance from
The house, and gather berries for supper.
When the young girl had filled her basket
she experienced a peculiar sensation in her
left ankle, which appeared as though
wound tightly with rope. Miss Carson,
to her lmspeakable horror, discovered that
q huge black snake had coiled itself around
her ankle, and was drawing itself up
tighter and tighter, so rs to positively stop
the circulation of the blood in the limb and
causing the most excruciating pain. She
had no sooner set eyes on the reptile than it
charmed her. and she was rendered power
les to free herself. How long she remained
in this condition Miss Carson is unable to
say, but thinks il must have been over ten
minutes
The snake wound itsclfso tightly around
her ankle that the muscles of her leg Were
drawn out of their natural position, and
t..e circulation of the blood having been
checked the contortions of the muscles had
the effect of drawing the eyes Of the snake
from those of its victim, thus breaking the
charm. Volition having returned, Miss
Carson pulled her sumbonnct from her
mead. and. winding it around her right
hand, caught the snake by the head, I'M
coiled ii from her ankle and threw ii with
such force against a stone fence near by as
to kill il instantly. It was afterward found
to measure five feet three inches in length.
Mis- Carson reached home in an exhausted
condition. Medical assistance was promptly
summoned, and everything done 10 relieve
