BIT BY A TURTLE,-A fisherman came
to this city this morning with several
turtles of the snapper variety in bag.
He stopped in front of restaurant and
eudeavored to sell them, but failing to
find purchaser he replaced them in
the bag and employed young colored
man to carry them in the market area
where be thought he could dispose of
them. The darkey threw the bag over
his shoulder and followed on. He had
not gone far, however, before he alarm
ed all who were near by an cutlery,
and several persons coming to his re-
lief they found one of the loggerheads
had bitten hole in the bag and had
fastened its bill in the darkey's haunch.
The latter hsd let 60 the bag, but the
turtle was holding on for all it was
worth. There is an idea that when a
snapper has fastened his jaws on any
thing if you run straw in its Eostrils
it will let 20, but no one thought OF
that, and there is a tradition that it
will relax at the sound of thunder
There were no signs of such disturb
ance at the time, and the darkey was
in terrible plight until the crustacean
was compelled to let go, which it did
not do until it had deprived its victim
of q mouthful of his pants and some OF
his epidermis.
