FIUHT HETWEE.Y A CAT ATI) A SNAKE.
Sumter Republican.
A gentleman who witnessed the fol
lowing, gave Jus the particulars.
About three weeks ago, during the
beautiful sunny weather we have had
which induced the trees to bud and
bloom, I was walking in my garden
one rooming, thinking nbwt prepar
ing for an early start for spriug vege
tables, when I saw a large rattle
snake sunning. My first impulse was
to go to the house, get a gun and
kill it. but Jlooking around
I saw a vary large house cat cautious
ly creeping upon tbe reptile. Antic
ipating a tight, and equally desirous
•f getting rid oi tbe cat, which killed
chickens, I concluded to witness his
attack upou the snake The cat crawl
ed upon its stomach, pulling along on
its teet, whisking its-tail from side to
side, and every now and then stretch
ing its neck lo view the snake.
When about eight or ten feet off the
snake suddenly coiled, up, spuing its
rattle, faced the cat and darted its
forked tongue out rapidly. The cat
commenced a rapid circle aionud the
snake; so fast in fact that the eye
could hardly keep .up with it. At
last it got near enough and made •
dart at it* enemy; but through provi
dential reasons, it went , high above
tbe snake which siso struck at the cat,
thus breaking its cojl. The cat went
too fer, and by the time it had turn
ed'to face its toe, the reptile was again
oodfd i, and - ready for the
attack.. The fame method was
adopted and carried on for four or five
times, occupying at least halt an boor.
The cat wished to catch the snake bnt
seemed aware that if it missed the neck
jU would bo certain death. At tbe
sixthanauh they met,' and instantly,
the intake was wrapped in several folds
arotfod the ‘ body Of tbe cat, which
used its sharp claws with deadly ef
fect. The Cat had been bitten on tbe
hCad and neek several times, and
both contlhned to fight, ' TWshMe,
was lorn nearly to shreds, b« did not
ntiloose its coil around' ifevictim.
The poison was swift and falij^jijit
before tbe cat died it caugbl tbe
snake’s head in iu mouth and crushed
it, nnd fighting t bey died, the snake
enwrapping the eat in iU'eoils. The
■neke measured.tour Jcetreight inches

was driven into her breast. The next
instant she struck Miss Wis> a stun
ning blow oh the bead w hich stagger
ed her, and followed it np by a second
blow which felled her to tbe ground.
Miss Wise soou regained her feet, aud,
assuming the offensive, impaled
Miss Downing’s hands on the
prongs of thn fork. Again she re
ceived a blow on the bead from the
club, which felled her to the ground.
While in this ;iosition she thrust the
pitchfork into Miss Downing’s face
making three terrible wounds. By
this time both were weakened by loss
of blood aud dropped to the ground
insensible. In this position they were
found by some neighbors, who gave
the alarm. Dr. Drummond was
mnnmoned and was soon in attend
ance. Both girls were terribly in
ured. Miss Dowuing having been
wounded fourteen times by the pitcli-
fork.’and Miss West shockingly bruis
ed and beaten about the head. They
are now suffering from a high fever,
and the physician has little hopo of
their recovery. In lacid intervals
they gavo the particulars of the fight,
aod at the same time each begged
piteously to see Mr. Youug. The
latter, evidently not relishing the no
toriety iuto which lie was brought by
the strange infatuation of tho two
girls, has left the town, aud no trice
of him can be discovered. “Die affair
has caused the most intense excite
ment here, and the usually quiet little
town has been in a turmoil since the
]*lrticulars of the fight were mado

There should, however, be a cer
tain reasonable congruity between
one’s Saunday and every day dress
and demeanor. Otherwise, in either
case, ridicule is excited, not only by
tfce contrast suggested to those • who
know yon, but by the evideut want of
ease with which tbe unaccustomed
habit will bo worn. If foe daily at
tire is a homespun suit; brogans and a
s'ouched hat, the broadcloth clothes,
varnished pnnips and beaver, once a
week, will look aod feel awkward. So
will tbe solemn words of public
prayer fall bungling from a mouth ac
customed to oaths and ribald jests.
Thq lesson is plain. Dress and act
your best oo Sunday, but do not let
jrour Sunday bo put to abaine by the
other six days or the week.
iu There is a sin in clothes, however,
which should be noticed because it is
particularly characteristic of this kind
of moral clothing that wa have desig
nated “Sunday demeanor,’’ and that
tin is deception. Wheu clothes are
worn, in church or elsewhere, for the
purpose of creating a fhlso impres
sion, they are an acted lie. And alas!
now often is “Sunday demeanor” put
on for effect, and for false effect ? This
