A FAMILY OF SNAKE KIL.L1CHS. The Osterhout family, of Deep Hol low, are tho most famous rattlesnake anil wildcat hunters In northern Penn sylvania. For years Herman Oster hout, the head of the family, has tramped over the hills of Susquehanna, Wayne and I'lke counties, catching rattlesnakes for New York and Phila delphia museums. He carries a forked stick and a big bag. The oil from the dead snakes Is exti acted and sold to the manufacturers of a cuic for rheu matism In Philadelphia. Osterhout has been bitten by rattle snakes. Hf has killed more wildcats than any other man in the state. He has a record of 127 cats killed. The bounty paid by the county and the hides have brought him hundreds of dollars, hast week, while In search ot snakes, he was attacked by a wild cat, and In the scrimmage man and cat fell Into an old well fifteen feet deep, when the battle was renewed.

While driving through tho eastern part of the state, not long since he reached a hotel in a little village. He gave his team in charge of a negro In the bain and went into the hotel to get dinner. He was greeted by a very handsome white woman. Tho drummer told the lady that the nejjio hostler at the barn had taken chat go of his team. "But that's not the host ler," replied the lady; "that's my hus band!" The drummer was astounded, but ho managed to remark that It was an unusual circumstance. "I will tell you a little of my life's history," said tho hostess. "When 1 was a girl I had just two chances to get married one from a drummer, and the other fiom a negro, and I chose the negro:" The 6hoe man tlnished his dinner In silence. FLOATSAM AND JETSAM.
