AN EXPENSIVE SNAKE HUNT.
It Cost 81 900 in Bnru and Hay, and the
Snnhe te ttllI nt LARGE.

RUTLAND. July 19.-In field on Henry Mo
EauRhton's farm the stump OF an immense
blackberry tree has stood for years. 1t has
long been hollow and decayed, but the tree
had beon an old landmark and the stump was
30 large it was looked upon as an interesting
relic. and was not disturbed A few rods from
the stump Farmer McNauGhton had barn
which was used for storing hay in. couple
OF big stacks OF recently cut hay stood between
the stump and the barn. The other day the
farmer was passing near tho, old blackberry
stump, whom he saw a bIacksnako run
In hole in tho stump. McNauRhton had been
thinking for n week or so OF Erubbing at tho
the blacksnake run in tho stump he quickly
resolved to rid himself OF the stump and the
earth OF tho snake at ono and the same time:
He got some dry brush and piled IT around
the stump and set 1t on fire. The flames were
heat Increased out popped the black snake, and
McNaughtun killed II with club, But he
found that the stump wasn't the abiding place
OF that snake alone for IRON every hole ana
Assure in the old ruin, and from among the
decayed roots. snakes came wriRRlnR and
writhnE out until tho ground was literally
alive with them as they scattered In all dilec-
tions TO escape. This was more than Farmer
McNaughton, was able to stand. and he started
him get away with the snakes. When he got
back with his son and q hired man, his two
haystacks and his barn were ablaze. Fire from
the stump had followed trains Of loose ,1s. hey
and the barn, With the means at hand the
farmer and his aids were well enough equipped
TO fight snakes. but not TO 1Rht fire. and the
haystacks and barn and barn full Of hay we're
about $1,000, and not another snake was Killed,
Rs far as the returns are in.
