Australian Snake Stories.

a cat at Mr.. II. Fry's coach establish
ment had determined conflict with
large black SNAKE about four feet long
last Sunday. She succeeded in getting n
hold near the snakes head and kept her
hold while his snakeship writhed and
curled until his fate was sealed. II was
one OF the largest snakes that we have
heard OF Il cat dispatching. One of the
features OF puss' feat was that her kittens
were near, and, much to her distress.
came unsuspectingly around her during
her conflict with her deadly antagonist.
A sensational snake yarn comes from
Upper Pullitop station. A bevy of young
ladies' were enjoying the music of piano,
and as the music vibrated and thrilled,
several of them heard a peculiar kind of
noise, like something creeping against
the carpet behind the piano. They after
a time adjourned to the verandah. Some
person entering the room Immediately
afterward, discovered an immense black
snake disporting himself on the carpet.
The reptile was quickly destroyed He
proved to be a boomer, six feet long, and
well quilt in proportion. The consterna-
ton OF the young ladies when it was dis
covered from whence the noise had pro-
ceeded may be better imagined than de-
scribed. 1t is thought the snake, liking
the ladies' society, was about to Join them
on the verandah.-.Sydney EUeniug News.
