A Rattlesnake Bite.

A oase o! rattlesnake bite was' recently briefly mentioned by our North Barkley correspondent. The victim was a nine year old daughter of J. N. Baker. The snake-bite, if such it was, occurred in the evening. She did not see or hear the snake, but felt a stinging sensation in one her legs, and when she went in the appearance of the two punotures caused the family to fear it was a snake’s work, and as the ohild became very sick and the limb swelled enormously, there was no doubt but that was the cause of the injury. Dr. Moore was sent for -and though the. child remained in a very dangerous condition, for several days, the physician considers her out of danger.
