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.

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.
