Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

A short time since a person in the western part of this county, found buried in the sand a nest of eggs. Supposing them to be turtle eggs, and being passionately fond of that article, he carried them home, had them properly cooked and commenced his luscious repast. After eating fourteen, unsight and unseen, curiosity prompted him to examine the critters, when upon opening one of those left he found an infant blue racer coiled beautifully therein. Reader, place yourself in his condition and then you may know his feelings. [Oakland Gazette.]
