I didfuot know how-long it had; been Without food When, I caught it ; butl pres~ntetl ii. with frogs, toads, Worms, beetles, spid, mice, and every other de` cea- cy of the feaspn.

I kept it in an old barrel, on; of doors. for the first three weeks ; during that time, I_can aver, it ate nothing,: but af • ter a very wet night, it seemed to suilorfrom the cold. I then put it in a glass ve_el, and Pet it on the parlor chimney piece covering the vessel with a piece of ;ilk gauze I . caught taro live mice, and put them into it.; but they Would sooner have died' of hunger than the snalib would have' eaten them ; they sat , shiverieg on its back, while it lay coiled up as round as a ball of worsted. I gave the mice some boiled potatoes, whic,lt they ate ;. but the snake would eat neither the mice nor the potattiel.:l - My children frequently took •it Out in their hands, to show it to their schoolfellows ; but my wife, and some others, could not bear the sight of It. I one day took hand, and opened its Month with a penknife, to .t,how a gentleman how difierent it.was front the adder, which I had dead by . me, its teeth being no more formidable or ter rific than the teeth of a trout or eel, while the month_of the adder had two fangs, like the clasys of a cat, attatched to the roof of the Mouth, no way connected with the jaw- - teeth. While examining the snake in. this manner, it began, to smell most horridly, and • filled the:room With an abominable odcr ; I also felt, or thought I felt, a kind ;of prickly numbness in the hand I held it in, and did so for some 'weeks afterwards. made its I escape fiom me several times byl boring a • hole through the.gauze ; I had lost it .for sotne days at one, time, when at length was observed peeping.out of a mouse hole behind one of the cellar steps. Whether ,it had caught any beaks or,spiders in the cellar, I . cannot say ;,but it lOoked as fierce, as a hawk ' and hissed and shook its4ongue, in; open de: dance. ',I - conld not thin% of hurting it by smoking it, out with tobacco or 'brimstone ; _ but-called fiery dragon whiCh guarded my ale cvllar. At length I caught it, coiled up on one of the steps. I put it again into "an American Sour barrel • but, it happened not to bet the satne as he had been in, and . I protruding through the staves tbdrat. half-way up. This I suppose, he had made - use of to help his escapefor he was mis sing ope morning.' "%ix Par.—A coteMporary, ,under the Ist 0'44 a goof - rule, relates that a lady once :Aid this Rev.
