On Monday last, several children, amon: whom was an interesting daughter of Josep Hemphill, Esq.. about ten years, were enjoy- ing & sociable pic-nie in a woods about a mile south of West Chester. and were thrown into a panic by a large black snake. Miss Hemp- Lill, lingering behiud ber comrades at some blackberry bushes, ave & nest of young snakes, and immediately started to run towards the clearing. She suceeeded in erossing the fence, wheu her progress was impeded by a large black snake, thathad wound itself twice round her thizhs, on the outside of her gar- ments, and bound her so tight that’ she could Bot move. How or when it got there she could not tell, her ideas being so confused by fright on seeing the nesi from which she ran. She was relicyed in her locomotion by the snake toking a higher position, when she threw up her arms 5 ran, using her basket to fight the reptile, which clung to her, and bit incessant- ly at her dres-. She was finally relieved from her perilous situation by a gentleman who was attracted to the spot by her cries, and who Killed the snuke.—Westchestér (Pa.) Jeff.
