famous spot tho White rocks In tho
Alleghany mountains about ten miles
from Unlontown mot with an adven
ture that almost adds another horror
to that placo says ihe Pittsburg Dis
patch Wearied with their wanderings
tho two paused and Mr Kernn throw
ing himself upon a mossy rock was
soon fast asleep Mr Ellsworth who
sat near by was In a short time
startled by a cry from hU companion
and on turning around was horrified
to sco a huge blacksnnko rapidly wind
ing Itself about the body of Mr Kernn
Mr Kernn who was now on hit knees
staggered to his feet but the snake had
suceeoded In colling Itself two or three
times around his body fastening his
left arm in a helpless position Mr Ells
worth started forward to his assistance
of his unfortunate companion but could
do nothing During the terrible en
counter Mr Kernn never for a moment
lost his presence of mind but made re
peated efforts to seize tho reptile by
the neck hoping thus to choke It to
death The snake now tightening Its
colls every moment and almost crush
ing the life out of the young men sud
denly stopped with Its head In midair
and Its tongue darting rapidly back
ward and forward and Hi eyes fixed
upon Mr Ellsworth gave the nervy
young doctor the opportunity hohad
hoped for Kernn now quickly and bold
ly seized the neck of the reptile with
his free hand Ellswrrth seeing that
tho strength of his companion was isp
idly going rushed in to his assistance
At this moment Kernn sank exhausted
upon the rock but not before Ellawoith
with jackknlfe In hand had also celzed
the snake by the neck Pressing the
neck of the monster firmly upon the
rock with his left hand he with his
right quickly severed the head from
tho body The colls of the snake slowly
loosened from the body of Kernn who
was now unconscious A little brandy
however soon revived him and In sn
hour he with the aid of Mr Ellswoith
was able to make his way to a farm
house at the foot of tho mountain Tho
snake measured 11 feet C Inches in
length and the oldest inhabitants say
It is the largest snake ever found In
the neighborhood within their recollec
