The track of the Fiousatonlc Rallway runs directly through the swamp named. Early ono inorning the engineer of n o pessenger-train suddonly dlscovered a longr Black object lying across the ralls, and he shut off steam nnd whistied for brakes. While the speed was stackening the engincer saw thiat It was tho verltable, snake, about which go mueh had been 6ald, uud tie putled the throttlo agatn, intendiny, 1t nossible, to run It down nl cut ft in two, bul Just hefore the enciue reached it the end of the tull alid off {he rail and almost knmediately the -entlve spake dlnaJ:peurod. Fuur or flve years #g0 two tnen ridine 1o a buegy slong a ‘road which skirts the swamp eay they saw the now famous snake wrizellng slowly across the road. ‘They were certain, from the measurement of the wround where they fiyst saw it, that §t was over twenty feet long. ” Araln the snake cxcitement broke” out fu the nelghborhood, and parties were organized to hunt the reptile down withont = success, and -the interest in the matter soon dled out. The cauee of the disappensance of the sunke for the last four yeurs has been n ereat mystery, but it has heen tompletely rolved [n an_extraordinary mannier, Bome fmazined that the snake had tound his way to the Iousatonle River, and, eseaping death by drowning, thence to the geean, find become 8 verituble eca-serpent.

After alittle while they cameto a larce buttonwood tree which hod fallen to the ground. ‘They discovered it was hollow, and In order to hundle ft casily they atiempted to saw 1t up. They had” sawed it nearly througzh one part when suddenly tho saw grated us thoush {6 had struck a stone. Think- I that it was a curious place to find a stone they at onee went to work to [nvestizme, Lhiey plicd their axes, and by dint of hard labor split tlie tree, whon to their astonlshment the ob- stacles which the saw had struclk proved to be bones. :n they opened the tree as faras they could find hones, some twenty-one fect, and the remains proved to be those of ‘the wonstrous repuile so often veen but never captured.
