A nest of snakes was unearthed by Peter Negorne while blowing on his farm near the Potter Hill school house, Wilmington one day last week and, to date, he has killed over forty snakes. The reptiles had established their winter quarters in a dried up we'll which had been covered by boards and turf sometime ago, so when the blow struck the boards the oose was exposed. The snakes were almost lfeless so that it was an easy natter to slay them. However, some managed to creep about under rocks and continued to appear one by one during the days following. "To date" therefore, is used above because Mr. Negorne may see some more snakes during the next few days. Some of them were measured and found to be from four feet to five and one half feet in length. Of black snakes and striped adders there were plenty, but there were also a few other snakes which MT. Negorne has not as yet been able to identify.
