OUT IN HIGHLAND.
RnttiesnaISes and Ground-Hogs en-
Iore--peFaonai.


MONTERREY, VA. August u.-(specal.)
As Is usual in dry seasons, rattlesnakes
are uncomfortably numerous in our val
leys and along the public thoroughfares.
The theory advanced is that protracted
dry spell compels them to abandon their
accustomed 'haunts in the mountains ana
seek low ground in order to get water.
Along the road from Meadow Dale 10
Vanderpool, a distance Of three miles,
seventeen OF these dangerous reptiles
have been killed lately, one gentleman,
Mr.. Pat. McNulty. killing three in his
yard. Another one, a large. yellow speci-
men, was killed by a drummer, who
brought 1t 10 town and tried in vain to
get Il skinned. The lowest offer he could
get was 500 so he carried it on, unhay-
ed. Some of these snakes killed during
dog-days are said 70 have struck vicious
Is. but aimlessly, thus strengthening the
theory that they are always blind during
the reign Of the dog star
Another pest about which our people
have felt no concern until this season. Is
that of the ground hog. For several
years il was known that the valley
around Hghtown was seemingly head
quarters for his hogshp, but they have
increased so rapidly that the damage to
crops and gardens IS not only u result,
but whole pasture-felds and meadows are
being badly damaged by much burrowing
and throwing up Of dirt The killing Of
them is tine sport, and a general war Is
being waged in order TO diminish them.
one young mana student, on his yaca-
killed seventeen in one day, and a dog
owned by Taylor Daugherty dug eight
out Of one hole, all of which he siaugh-
tered.
