The hand presenting a fearful spectacle.

and placed his hand in q step that his foot
had just occupied, when he felt an acute
sting. which he thought was briar scratch.
Withdrawing his hand, what was his
horror 10 behold a ground rattlesnake hang
lug to it, with the fangs implanted deeply
IN tie flesh. 1t was necessary to shake his
hand vigorously before the snake would let
60 his hold. The reptile fell into the bot
tom of tie well, which was one mass OF
of tanglewood. On flashing the light into
the old well they were astonished TO see a
living mass of squirming adders. Throwing
some fire in the well the dry matter caught
and the bideous reptiles were consumed.
