Mr. Wyman thought otherwise, and took his leave, wondering at the stupidity of his friend TJie_3t. LouiR Herald of the l2llnnst. relates a case of snake fascination w\hieh resulted fatally. The Herald vouches for the truth of thie state-, ment, the particulars 'of .which are given a» follows: 4 \ A man by the name of O'Mara had a small child, a little girl about thirteen years of age, who came to hen death thro! the influence of a snake, one day last week, under the following circumstances : O'Mafa resides on Copperas CrCek,. Ill l ? iniiUUu nounty, uu.l Uitt n ftlutri <tt*- t'aiice from the. Pacific Railroad depot. Some nine months ago, early last fall, his family noticed the little girl to be pining away, and becoming, very weak and piile, although she had been very lleshy' and hearty, and apparently without any Cause or complaint of sickness. By the time winter had fairly set in, she was wasted away to a mere skeleton, but as soor. as the weather became cold she again, seemed to revive. 'S.he never complained of lieitig unwell, and in' reply to all their inquiries in regard to her health, she invariably said slje felt veivwell, only a little^weak. As soon as spring arrived, she could not be prevailed upon to eat any victuals in her ' falhei's house, but would take a piece of. bread and butler, or a piece of meat, HiuL.go out to the edge,of the creek to»eaHfc— The family noticed her regularly, always going precisely to tho same ph'ice, and invariably com plaining of being hungry after her retijni,-when' if more victuals would he given her, she would agom return lo the creek, as they thought to eat.
