New Castle, Aug. 1.-Arthur Moody,
colored, aged 16 years, was bitten by a
blacksnake, yesterday morning, while
gathering blackberries in Moore's
| thicket. The leg is badly swollen and
pains excessively, but there are hopes
/ that the bite will not prove fatal.
Moody and James Brown, Edward
| Harris, Samuel Edwards and William
| Bostwick, were engaged in picking
berries, when Moody stepped on some
thing soft. On looking down at the
ground he saw a blacksnake about two
feet or more in length and before he
could get away the snake sunk its
fangs deep into his flesh. He screamed
and Edwards ran away, but the others
ran to his assistance. Brown, with a
razor, gashed the flesh where the snakes
fangs entered the leg and sucked the
poisoned blood from the wound. To-
bacco cuds were applied and the wound
bandaged, after which they trudged
homeward.
Harris dispatched the snake with a
piece of wood and then did what he
could towards helping the injured man.
Brown, who used to live in Virginia,
stated that Moody would be all right
in a short time, as he had seen many
cases like his and wherever they were
treated promptly as this case had been,
they always recovered.
