Geo. w. Gay, worthy and honest
colOred man of Chambersburg town
ship, gives The Landmark the follow
ing story, which he touches for: He
had been missing eggs from a hens
nest in his barn for some time. About
two months ago he put a small gourd
-abot the size of a turkey egg-in the
nest, and that, too, disappeared. A
few days ago on going to his barn
George saw a black snake about five
feet long and killed it. When the vuL
lures had pulled it to pieces the gourd
which had been put in the hens nest
showed up. The snake had been
swallowing the eggs and when the
gourd was put in it swallowed that,
too. Since the snake was killed no
eggs have been missed. Statewide
