How II Affects Some.

The output of some booze factories
in or adjacent to the Capital must
be OF a very peculiar sort. Read
the following telegram from Frank
fort:
In spite OF the snow which was
deep on the ground, a snake on the
farm of George Moore, in this coun-
ty, this morning, left its nest and
crawled through the snow and cold
into trap which had been baited
with an apple and set for a rabbit.
The snake sprung the trap. which
dropped a big rock on its head and
the reptile was pinned down SO that
II could not escape. Corby Moore, q
son Of Geo. Moore found the snake
when he visited his rabbit trap,
He caught the snake alive and took
1t to the house, where his mother
made him kill it. The snake was
brought to town TO be exhibited as
the first snake ever known TO crawl
through snow. II was a cow-sucker
feet inches long.
