Snakes sixty Years Ago.

Hugh McCrea, an old settler of We
dango County. Pa, in talking of old
times to an Oil City Blizzard reporter
the other day, had this to say of snakes
in his boyhood days and now: There
were seemingly no more snakes then
than there are now, except copperheads;
they were more plentiful Hogs used
to run at large and they killed a great
many rattlesnakeS One time, as was
going up on the hill, heard great
racket down in the woods On going
down there / saw two or three hogs
with a RATHER having fight They
would catch it and drag it and then tear
it to pieces and they made as much
fuss over as fit had been a bear. Inever
knew of hog being bitten by rattle
snake. Have known of sheep and cows
being killed, and we lost three horses by
snake bite. Their bite does not always
kill a dog. dog will cure himself
Just dig a hole in the ground, crawl in
