A S nake STORT .—The Cincinnati Com
meroi&l says :
A short time since there arrived at the
Walnut street House, a mysterious looking
individual, having as a part of his baggage,
a large bor perforated with breathing holes
and marked : "Beware of the snake—cer
tain death," which was deposited for tho
time with the rest of the baggage upon
the floor of the office. Accidentally two
of tho holes had been "knocked into One,"
and but a short time elapsed before one of
tbe snakes, an infant anaconda about ten
feet in length, iBSued from the box and
rapidly crawled along the floor, the posses
sion of which was yielded to it without any
dispute on the part of the terrified guests,
with whom chairs and benches were im
mediately at a premium. The danger ap
peared imminent—the exigency one with
which only a true hero dared to grapple.
Fortunately, just as a 'bus load of would
be guests—if they dared to—turned away
from the door at the frightful cry of "driva
on," the needed hero was found in the per
son of mine host, Crittenden, Who issued
from the office with a huge cavalry saber!
Courageously the gallant "Crit" attacked
the monster, and with more than mytho
logical energy quickly severed his snake
ship's body into several separate and dis
tinct parts, to the inexpressible disgust of
the owner, who was seen anxiously inquir
ing a few moments after, as to who had
killed his $500 anaconda.
The latest snake story is told, in good
faith, by the Springfield, (Mass.) Repub
lican, of a reptile recently found at Lee.
It was nearly four feet in length, about
the size of a man's finger, and shaped like
a whip-lash; and on close examination the
whole body was found to be composed of
small warms about half an inch in length,
with large heads and-semi-transparent
bodies. On separating them into frag
ments they would immediately reform into
the snake shape and crawl slowly off. On«
or two other similar snakes have recently
been seen in that vicinity. It is hoped that
they will remain there.
