Onions W. Snakes.

A correspondent Of the Journal send nj
the following "Snake Story"
Capt. John p. Farrow of Islesboro, Me.
like many other retired ship-masters, finds
amusement in his leisure hours by the cul
tivation Of farm on which he raises all
sorts Of vegetables. His onions in par
ticular we're the envy Of all around.
Though he took no precautions against mag
gots, the vegetables were never harmed by
these little pests, which almost wholly de
stroyed his neighbor's onions. One
day while surveying with pride thi.
model patch, the captain saw large
brown snake, some three feet in length, eau.
tiously emerge from q neighboring rock pile
and starting at the corner Of the bed, slowl,
promenade up one row Of onions, and down
the next. till seeing the visitor, he vanished
amid the rocks. Every day after this the
serpent went through the same performance,
till Capt. Farrow, who has natural antipa'
thy to snakes, hit him in the head with &
cleverly thrown stone. With . reproachful
glance he wriggled away, and either because
the wound was mortal, or from a just sense
of indignation at the ungenerous requital OF
his exertions, he never returned. From that
time on the maggots and other bugs held
high carnival in that patch and the captain
has been unable to raise any onions there
since
