The sad nfltilr 'that left a widowed
mother childless, and for the time being
r'lnost bereft of reason, happened nbollt
the 10th ult, In the adjoining county of
Allen, a short dislmn o from tlm Warren
oumtv lino, nml in tho vicinity of Au-
tln n , Mill. The heartrending*defalls;
as lela'ed lo ih by persons of unques

Some two iimulliH since Airs. Hlauken*
ship, n lady of respectability, lost her
husband front disonae, atnl Was left with
three children, two interesting be ys ami
a little infant girl, just largo enough ter
walk alolie unu beguile tho lonely house
of the mother with its innocent prattle.
On tho 16th ult, tho mothor, Airs.
Blankenship, for tho. pur|Kise of wash
ing clothes, repaired to the spring:
branch near tho house in tho locality're
ferred to. taking her three children witli
her, tho nonso <log followed behind.—
rilio had been engaged in washing hut
a short time wlmn tho dog was heard
harking incossantly, on tho hill near by.
Thinking that the dog had possibly treed
a raccoon or had a rabbit at hny,.th«
two littlo hoys proposed going nt nnrti
to secure the game. With the mother's
consent tho littlo follows started oil’in
high glco. Alas I better had they never
been born. On reaching the spot whoso
Iho dog was barking they saw a shuit
d Vance from tho dog n largo object
coiled ut tho foot of a stump, in a hos-
t h attitude, koeping the dog ut bay.
Thoy looked but a moment. Rage*
only to capture tho supposed game, ami
not thinking of danger, nor knowing tho
nature of tho prey, thoy approached the
hideous monster, that tn- fatality of at
tack “oulvonoins ull tlm worms of tho
Nile.” Tho oldest or tho two boys Of*
proarhod first, with his little bauds out
stretched and his faco aglow ut the
pinspect of liis prixe. Ho said, "I'll got

rushed to ii death more terrible nnd

Longue, with ono Joathrattlb of Ids tail,
the htlgo rattlesnake—for it was nothing
less—drow back hissooly folds, und with
one dart forward planted bin envenomed
fangs in the tlcsh of tho boy, nnd loft
the doudly poison coursing hot through
his young veins. Again nnd again wns
tho hoy bitten by tho fatal reptile, till hu
full exhnustod in thoooils of tho niou-
atcr.
Tho other little fellow rushed forward
to tho relief or Ills littlo brother, and ho
also received the deadly fangs of the
serpent in sovorul places. Tho screams
of the hoys alarmed tho mother, who
wus still washing at tho branch, nnd
loaving hof baby girl sho rah frantically
to the snot. Wlmt u sight there mot her
gaze I Putrid with poison, hwoIIod and
black, and bitten in many plscos, ono of
her Ixijs wns already dead, and the oth
er dying fiom tlm sumo ouuso. The
snake had crawled nwny, and the living
boy lived just long enough to toll tho
circumstanco of their doath. Over
whelmed with nn intensity of agony
which mothers alone can fool, sho re
mained ut tho fatal spot a short time.
when sho bethought her of hor little girl
nt the branch nnd htirriod back.
On ranching tho spot, horrible as it
mav scorn, she found that the little girl
had walked to tho wash-tub, into which
she hud fallen head fmemost and wns
drowned, “nnd it too was gone.” The
mother's cup of misorv was full; not
nnolher drop could bo added. Bereft of
children, and ulinost of reason, sho sank
u ulcr tho no- u u .ted hoirois f the
hour. Assistance was procured, tho
henrt-ci ushea woman, ana the remains
of hor nestlings were tukon charge of
and cured for. A short timo ufter a
large rattlesnake, with thirteen rutile*',
was killed near Iho spot whore the boys
wore billon.
The evi-ot created n profound sensn-
tion in Iho community, und has scarcely
a parallel even in the exciting annals of
