On reaching the treo, Mr. Nettles dis mounted in the gratia but had hardly set his foot on the ground when he felt some heavy body moving between his lugs and under his feet. Looking down, he saw un Immense rattlesnake endeav oring to throw Itself Into a coll, which ills weight and the snake's confinement between his legs prevented its doing. With the yell ot fear tind warning, Mr. Nettles Jumped several feet from the monster. Hands wero working near by who were called to tlio epot and his snakeship was killed with their hoes. Ho proved to bo r monster, having eighteen perfect rattles, and being as large as the calf of a well developed man's leg In the large part of his body.
