A TRUE SNAKE STORY.

Daniel Pierce, who lives two miles from Southville in the town of Bridge water. killed the largest .snake known to have been killed this seasno. It was probably six feet in length and pro- portionately large in circumference. It was noticed after being killed that several young ones lay underneath. MT Pierce immediately opened it and found within it 39 young ones, making with mother snake 40 snakes. How is this for multiplication of the snake kingdom? If these snakes had all lived and all increased proportionately how many snakes would we have had. This is fact as the writer and the neighbor, who came to see the tribe before interment, can vouch for.
