SERPENT FASCINATION.
A Missouri journal Jells a snake story,
iho awful character of which is enhanced
by the apparent-authenticity of the details.
A man named O'Mara, living nt Copper
as creek, had a little duughtor 12 years
of age; and about fuino-months' ago, the
fnmily noticed that she grew thinnnd seem
ed to pino nwny without any nppnreni
cnuso of sickness. Sho wnstcd away to ft
skeleton In the fall of tho year; but when
the winter '6et in, she seemed to recover
somewhat. When the spring camo round,
sho showed n great reluctance to eat any
thing nt liome, but would lake her bread
nnd butler, n pieco of meat, or whntever
was given, and go way to the edge of tho
creek to eat it. Tho family noticed that
she nlways went to tho same place, whero
she would sit for a long limo nnd then go
home, generally complaining that sho had
not got enough ; nnd whenever sho got
nny more, going back again to tho same
spot. '
This conduct appeared so strange, espe
cially in connection with the emaciated ap
pearence of the child, giving no evidence
of the food sho was supposed to have cat
en, that the neighbors noticed it, nnd fi
nally induced her "father to follow her to
the creek nnd wntdi her. She had been
sitting there tho entire part of one fore
noon, nnd then rqturned to the houso for
something to cat. Having got it? she went
back, and her father saw her sit down
with the appcarenco of one expecting some

thing.
large black snako creep up from tho creek
and laying his head in the child's lan. take
the slice of bread and butter from her
hands hissing whenever she did not feed
him with promptness. Tho poor man ut
tered an exclamation which alarmed tho
snake, and sent Iho girl running home in
fear of her father's nnger. Ilo did not.
know what to do, but his friends advised
him to let the child go to ihe creek on the
following day, and to follow sccrclly and
shoot the reptile. '
The girl went noxt duy to tho creek.
according to her usual habit, and iho snake
came up ns before; whereupon the horri
fied man, stepping hastily forward, and
shot it through the head. Tho child
swooDcd from fright, and tho snako wrilli
ed a good deal before it died-? but w hen
the girl recovered from her. fainting fit.
sho was seized with spasms resembling,
tney saiu, tno contortions ol the snake ;
and both the reptile nnd the child seemed
to die at the same moment. This is a
strange narrative. .:'.)
Improvement, Iron Manufacture.-
The Miners' Journal gives n long account
of an improvement in rolling railroad bars
made by William llains, of Poltsviile,
who is a practicable iron manufacturer.
By the present plan each pair of rolls has
nine separate grooves,' through which the
heated mass from the furnace is success-
fully passed, until it is delivered from the
last in the shape of a railroad bar. By
the new process instead of the ono set of
roll, containing tho nino grooves, there
