 vending his way over field about
 dusk, last Saturday evening, his mill
 bucket in his hand and his Winches
 ter Repeater over his shoulder, hop ing to see some imprudent doves, he came onto a parsonage in the form oi a snake, who with upright body and
 fangs extended, proceeded to dispute his right of way over the premises Tho Walter freely confesses that he was frightened, he brought his gun | to his shoulder and Mr Snake found himself minus a head. Of course ! Walter dragged him home, and he was found to be, by actual measure ment, 6 feel and i inches. He proved to be one of the deadly kind known as the Racer" and it is a satisfaction to know that the boys presence of mind probably saved his life, as when first seen the snake was only about three feet from him and was coming toward him. It took Walters papa over an hour to skin or rather peel him, and now he hangs in the sun and will some day hang in the parlor relic of little boys bravery. From Fridays Daily.
