The long drought in the Conneotiout ▼alley, during whioh the farmers have been compelled to get their water from the river, induced Farmer Alexander Penfleld, living near Middletown, to clean up a ,ong dissued well on hie premises. For this purpose he sent his hired man, a Pole, to the bottom of it in a bucket. The Pole had not labored long before he was disturbed by a sin* gular buzzing sound like the humming of a swarm of bees, and a moment later he began to see snakes. From every orevioe in the stone curb of the well serpents thrust forth their heads, hissing loudly, then advanced their bodies, little by little, into the well, which were followed instantly by still more snakes, all crowding on the frightened workman and tumbling on each other into the bottom of the dimly lighted shaft. There were blaok snakes, water snakes, Btriped snakes and adders. For awhile the Pole waged a desperate battle against the serpents with his shovel, simply to protect himself from their attack, but In a few moments he was completely invested with a hissing, writhing, squirming, tossing tangle of serpents in the bottom of the pit, while a shower of snakes was continually falling upon him from the walls above his head. Finally he called for aid and was hauled to the surface. Subsequent examination revealed the fact that he had killed thirty-four snakes with his shovsl.

A Disagreeable Complaint. The affection known in hot climates as “prickly heat,” is not confined to the tropics. Certain occupations induoe it. For example, cooks, bakers, grocers, bricklayers, and washerwomen have it, and in a very painful and serious degree sometimes. It is a non-contagious disease of the skin, characterized by the appearanoe of small, hard papules, slightly red, accompanied by severe itching. The disease appears on different parts of the body, but generally on the front of the forearms and hands, the sides of the neck and face. It is often due to irregularities in diet and habits. The best treatment is simple, unstimulating food and drink, and proper attention to the general health. A daily cold or tepid bath should be resorted to. This affection is the cause of the peeling of the skin of the hands <*f some people in the fall, apart from the effects of sunburn. He Wanted No Sympathy.
