A large rattlesnake iu a box attracted the curious on Jersey street last Sunday. The reptile was the property of J.

The snake had eleven rattles on its tail, and continually sounded its warn ing as it lay coiled up, running its torkeu tongue out, ready to strike. It was exceedingly active. Iu regard to it Mr. Hathaway said: "I captured it m eastern Oregon July 28 last year. It has had nothing to eat since. A short time ago I put a live frog in the lox but the snake refused to touch it. I think a live mouse or a bird would tempt it to break its fast. With the exception of a strip on the top of its head it has finished shedding its skiu."
