AWKWARD FOR THE SNAKE.
William Hallier, who is almost totally deaf, has a peculiar way of catching rattlesnakes, which he kills for oil, alleged to have medicinal value, says a Pennsylvania paper. Unable to hear the ring of the “rattlers,” he says he detects their presence by the tremor in the calves of his legs. When he locates the snake he attracts its attention from him with some object and then grasps it firmly by 'the neck, so that it cannot bite.
