Protection Against vIpers.

A queer ceremony is performed
every year on the eighth day of Sep
TENDER in the Vale Maggie, LON
hardy, Italy The region abounds in
vipers. The celebrants form into a
weird procession, each person, man,
woman and child, carrying a huge fig
ure of a snake stuffed with cotton. AS
they pass along they weep and lament
believing that by the expiatory cere-
mony they will render themselves
proof against snake bites during the
grape gathering.

A Bangor man while passing
through field near Branch Pond, last
Sunday afternoon had peculiar ex-
perience with hawk
Hearing fiuttering in the grass, he
investigated, thinking that bird had
become caught in trap. What was
his surprise to find a bird hawk with
a yellow hammer. The hawk had
killed the yellowhammer, pecking its
head nearly to pieces, but in the
struggle in the tall grass a number of
stout pieces of grass had become
tangled around one of the hawks legs.
Try as he would, he could not free
himself, and the man easily secured
him. He will be mounted, and is as
fine specimen as one will often see,
as he has not a mark on him.-Bangor
