Squecnad by a Biack Snake,
The following from the Miller
township correspondent to the Hunt.
ingdon News : Last Thursday Frank
Frew, one of Frank Fritchey’s hands,
in going to dinner went into his eab-
in and as usual looked to see whether
there were any snakes in possession of
his abode. Not seeing any he went to
feed his horse, leaving the door open?
and upon his return to the cabin in
sitting down to dinner placed his foot
upon a black snake five and one-half
feet long. His snakeship commenced
to coil around Mr. Frew's leg
which action caused him to look, and
he knew he had to do something
quickly or be bitten, Bo he grabbed
the snake by the neck, tore it loose
from his leg, only to have it coil
around his arm. He then went to
the woodpile and chopped the snake's
head off. The man declares the black
snake to be a tight squeezer,
