During the last haying. there has been an
extraordinary large number of rattlesnahes
killed in the meadows. A meadow is great
place of resort for all kinds Of snakes,
where they catch young rabbits, meadow
mice, young birds, etc. While Mr.. Sam
I.ashley was cutting the meadow OF Mr.. Isaac
Smith in the Flatwoods, some weeks since,
the sickle became clogged in an old dly
mouse-nest. As he, with his hand, was re-
moving the puck, he was bitten in the hand
and wrist by a large rattlesnake which had
got mixed up in the stuff, and had been cut
into two or three pieces. 1t was with great
est LABOR Mr. l.. was saved from dying. He
seemed to crave tobacco, and ate large
quantities of the weed. The hand and arm
swelled terribly, and for weeks he was I'M
able to use them. Mr.. Blanton this same
season raked a large rather, and as the horse
passed the snake, the animal was bitten on The
leg, which swelIed up as large as two ordin-
ary legs. We have heard of great number
being found in the hay fields this year.
