A WONDERFUL ANnIAL-R. w
Eastman arrived Sunday from Day.
is, in the upper part of this county,
and reported the capture Of a Won
derful animal near that place few
days ago, We are not giving this
to the public for the saEe of a sensa-
ton, but because we believe it is n
fact. The animal was caught in u
stccltrap, and was dead when found,
II had the head of bull dog and
the body of a snake, except that it
was very thick for its length, and its
body was covered with decp-rcd fur.
It's entire length was about five feet
and the circumference Of its body
some twenty inches. Its teeth were
partly like dogs, partly like a
snakes, Mr.. Eastman had with
him the lower tusk. 1t was about
two and ono-half inches long, pro-
truding from the animals mouth,
and was curled like a sleeps horn.
The tusks of the upper jaw bent
backward like snakes teeth and
We're about one inch long. The an
imal had no legs. II was supposed
to be a water animal like an otter.
There is nothing to indicate that it
ever had legs, Mr. Parsins, chief
engineer Of the West Virginia Cen
trail and PittsEurg Railroad, has
gone to Paris to examine the dead
beast, and no doubthe will do some
thing toward unraveling the mystic
ry of what it is.-Tuckcr County

AN UNwELcoME GUEsT.-One
night last week William Cooper,
who lives on Lost Run, in this
county, was aroused from his sleep
by the crying of one of his children
and got up to strike light to see
what was the matter, when he felt
something strike him on the leg,
causing a sharp pang. He kicked
it off and lit a match, and was sur
prised to find Il large copperhcad
coiled up on the floor ready for an
other spring at his unprotected
calves. He succeeded in dispatch
ing his snakeship, which measured
two and ahalf feet in length. For
tunately be had n bottle Of apple
brandy at hand, which he used free
ly to counteraet the poisonous eff
fects of the bite; but at last accounts
Mr.. Cooper was suffering terribly
from the wound inflicted by the poi
sonous fangs Of the snake.-Grafton
