Beware of Rattlesnakes.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 10-The
body of Miss Lulu Bowling was found
Saturday morning in the woods near
Bradyville, in Cannon county. The
Young woman had been bitten in a
dozen places by a rattlesnake, as was
shown by as many discolored places
on her body, which was badly swol-
len. Coiled up beside the body was
the reptile which had caused the
young woman's death. 1t was killed.
1t measured five feet and had eigh-
teen rattlesand button, and was one
of the largest rattlesnakes ever seen
in the county.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.--William p.
Ellet, of Philadelphia, who was visit
ing his father, Fl. NJ. Ellet, near Nor
manock Gap, Sussex county, n. j.,
died there a few DAYS ago in terrible
agony from the effects of a rattle
snakes bite. \ little boy who was
picking blackberries one morning in
the latter part Of July came across
two large rattlesnakes and called TO
Mr.. Elet TO kill them. One of the
snakes took refuge under Il stone, and
the lad pointed out the wrong stone,
and Mr.. Ellet picked up the stone I'M
der which the snake was hidden. The
reptile buried its fangs in the middle
finger of Mr.. Ellet's hand. He paid
no attention to the bite until he had
killed the snake, which was nearly 8
feet long. He then started for home,
sucking the wound on the way. When
he reached his fathers house he could
get no whisky or other antidotes. and
when a physician arrived, an hour
later, his arm was horribly swollen to
the shoulder and much discolored.
Across his right side and the middle
of his back the skin was very black,
and his stomach had by this time been
so affected by the poison that it would
not retain any medicine. Mr.. Ellet's
agony during the next twenty-four
hours was beyond description, and
his death was hourly expected. The
poison then yielded in a measure to
the powerful antidote, but last week
he grew worse and died.

Killed by Muskrats.

A dispatch from Lawrenceburg,
Ind, tells of the following strange
occurrence: Samuel Latin is dead
from wounds received in fight with
muskrats Last Friday he went fish
ing in Hogan Creek. He missed
some fish he had left on the bank,
and looking about he saw the tail Of
one of the fish protruding from be-
meath a ledge of rock just at the wa
ter's edge. Latin began to tear away
the rock and earth, and he discovered
a nest of muskrats. The young rats
began to squeal in fright, and their
cries attracted the attention Of the
older ones, which attacked the farmer.
Their cries attracted other rats, and
from dozen nests came answering
cries. Before Latin realized his
danger the fierce little animals were
OH him, biting his face, neck, and
limbs. He yelled with pain, and
struck, stamped, and kicked at the
rats, but they hung on until, bleed
ing from score Of wounds, he broke
away and ran home. Blood poison
ing set in, and death resulted last
night
