II. P. Faunce, D.D (Baptist and Former President Brown University). AMORY, July 6. It is nothing unusual for fish and snake stories to go the rounds at thls season of the year, but William Kendrick, contractor and carpenter, who lives just east of the corporate limits of this place on Hatley Row relates one that beats them all and there were eye-witnesses to vouch for the truthfulness of it.

A few days ago Mr. Kendrick having no work on hand for the day decided to go blackberry hunting. He provided himself with buckets and went out on the Hatley road in quest of the fruit. Blackberries being plentiful in that region he filled his buckets and went home. After disposing of the berries he returned to the front room and putting his hand into his pocket he felt something soft and cold.

He pulled it out and found to his consternation it was a snake. The reptile was about 24 inches long and he slung it to the floor. The house cat discovered it and chased it around the room, and the excited cries of the family soon brought the near neighbors on the run, and Mr. Kendrick decided it was best to end the object of excitement and did so by striking the snake vigorously with a weapon picked up in the room. The snake was green and brown striped, and how it came to be in his pocket is a mystery though it is supposed to have crawled into his pocket while in the thick bushes when he was picking berries.
