THE TIMES NEW BLOOMFIELD, l'A.. AUGUST 3, 1880.
Saved by A Frog.
The Ameiionn (Ga.) Ronublicnn says :
A gentleman, from ttio country gives us
the following as his experience with a rat
tlcsunke, a short time Bince : lie lays
that the pigs bad been getting into his
garden, and lie was looking luonnd for the
liole. Iu one corner the weeds and grass
bad not been cut down, and as he went up
close to see if the hole was there, he heard
a noiae and then the rattle of warning bis
snakesliip gave out. lie turned and saw
a large suake colled and darting his tongue,
while his tnll quivered and shook until
the little ehells on the end seeraod to him
as loud as a big train of cars. The little
Bhlnlng eyes of tho animal were brilliant
with fury and seemed to dart forth rays of
burning poison that filled bis soul with a
dread that made him shiver from head to
foot. Tho fence was high and solid plank ;
there was no Btick near, und the snake
was net seven feet off, and light where in
trying to got out, be would have to pass
nearer, and he knew if he moved the en
raged tting would dart forward and strike
its poisonous fangs into. him. Move he
oould not ; to call out for asHistauce would
make matters worse, lie tried to pray,
but was so scared that he could only utter,
" Now I lay me down to sleep good Lord,
lie's going to bite " and so on. He said
that just now was the most excruciatingly
and agonizing moment of his life, and he
had charged many a time under tho old
"Stonewall" upon the Yankees. He
thought that he had been in that fix for
two hours, when he heard a Slight rustle.
,The snake hoard it too and stopped its rat
tle ; in a second or two a large " toad "
was seen hoppiug along toward the corner,
and as it approached, the snake looked
squarely into the man's eyes and seemed
to say : " Keep quiet, and I'll get the toad
and let you off." The frog got withiu about
six feet of the snake, when the rattle was
again sprung, and the little terror-stricken
toad was seized before it knew where to
look for its enemy. As soon as our friend
saw the frog with its head down into the
snake's throat, and its feet kicking in the
air, he made a desperate spring and went
to the house, procured a shot-gun and pre
pared to kill the snake, but found it not.
ile looked high and low, but there was no
saako and no sign, only where it had coil
ed. He says he owes his life to that frog.
A Father's Shock.
Pittston, Pa., July 21. When Mr.
Sarpain, of Yatesvillo, on the outskirts of
this towu, entered the room in which his
child, one year old, had been left a few
minutes' previously yesterday afternoon, he
was horrified to find a big black snake coil
ed around the little one's body. The glit
tering eyes of the serpent were glaring
upon those of the child, who appeared
transfixed by the terrible glance, and the
head of the monster swayed to and fro as
if charming the little one, who appeared to
be unable to move or make an outcry. The
torrified father, on beholding this frightful
spectacle, gave an involuntary cry of pain
which brought the other members of the
family running to the room. It had also
theeffoct of frightening the reptile, which
speedily uncoiled itself, and, in the confu
sion and fright of the moment, succeeded
in escaping. As soon as the terror subsid
ed to some extent, the snake was followed,
but it had secreted itself in the neighbor
ing shrubbery, making discovery impossi
ble, although a diligent search ensued.
After its departure, the child cried pite
ously for moro than an hour, and appeared
terribly distressed. The little one has been
in great agony ever since, but is expected
to recover. Although under the influence
of the reptile when the father came, there
i. no evidence of its having sustained any
physioal injury, but the shock to the
uervous system must have been terrible.
Deathly Damp.
At 1 1 o'clock on Tuesday night Jonathan
Waslay, superintendent; Frank Willi
man, inside boss, and J. Reese, district su
perintendent of the Philadelphia and Bead
ing coal and iron company, descended the
Keely Run colliery to examine the ventila
tion. Nothing was beard of them until
Tuesday morning, when it was discovered
tiiat the gangways were choked with
black damp and the men cut off from the
open air. . Rescuing parties were at onoe
organized and. every effort made to break
through the deadly damp, but not until a
dozen miners were taken out overcome,
did suocess crown their efforts. At last,
however, they were 'reached, but when
they were brought to the surface the worst
apprehension were lealized for they bad
all been dead for some time. Pending the
the effort to recover the unfortunate men
the most intense excitement prevailed.
Hundreds of persons gathered at the
mines, and the bereaved family and friends
of the unfortunate men were impatiently
waiting tidings of them, their evidences of
distress being perfectly heartrending. . .
Narrow Ese&pe.
Lancaster .Intelligencer: says About
11 o'clock to day as Philip Grabill, 282,
South Water street, was working in hia
machine shop be had occasion to throw a
belt on the wheel that runs bU planing
maobine. In putting on the belt bis shirt
sleeve onught on a set screw in the shaft
and in a twinkling tho revolving Bhaft,
which was making throe hundred revolu
tions a miuuto, began to wind him up.
With all his power ha resisted, and his
shirt being pretty well worn gave way and
was toru from his body. Rut at the same
Instant his pantaloons were also caught by
the head of the screw and despite bis
struggles, Mr. Grabill was drawn mice or
twice around the shaft, and then hurled
against the case of the turbine wheel by
Which the machinery is run. Every stitch
of clothing had been torn from his body ex
cept his boots t and yet he was not very
seriously injured, a few outs and brulBes
about the head and face and some beavy
thumps in the ribs being the extent of his
injuries. His clothing when picked from
the machinery was a sight to behold.
Had it been torn from his body by the
claws of a wild beast it would not have
been more tattered. Reuben Albright,
who was working in the shop stopped the
machinery as soon as it could be doue.
