.. Monster Rattlers Killed,
Two monster rattlesnakes were
killedjby Mr.Loo, a wood cutter,
about three miles oast of tbe city
on Friday last. The largest of
tbe two, evidently a female,
measured six feet and a half in
length, IS inches in circumfer
ence and had* 20 rattles. The
other, a male, was five aud n half
feet long und sported 15 ruttles.
Signs of these large snakes have
been observed in the neighbor
hoodWhere they were killed, for
many years, and the largest of
the twain is evidently the one
seen by Hon. J. Walter Bennett
about a year fgo in tbe neighbor
hood of Saints Rost. farm. At
that time, howovpr,J. Waller re.
ported that the monster was as
long as a fence rail and as large
around as a man's body and that
his rattles sounded like the beat
ing of twenty gongs. Tbe differ
ence in tbe appearance of the
snake then and now, however, is
possibly accounted for. Our
worthy solicitor was bnggy rid
ing with the charming lady who
few weeks later became His
wife, aod it is altogether prob
able that at that time all things

ed to bim an abnormal appear
ance. The woodland flowers wero
more fragrant than Is their wont,
tbe forest trees were more beau
tiful, the birds sang sweeter, the
low warbling of the brook was
interpreted a* a soft refrain to
loves old story and, naturally
the snakes had more than doubled
tbeir size. We all know how it
or how it has been, and know
ing, let us draw silently and
smilingly, the veil over J. Wal
ter’s anti-bellum snake tale.
