They observed at the distance of some thirty feet from them a very strange and unaccountable conduct on the part of a bird-commonly called the &#8220;Cow bird,&#8221; resembling in color the mocking bird of this region, though somewhat smaller. On watching it narrowly, they discovered that it was engaged in a conflict with a snake some eighteen or twenty inches long. In a few moments the bird was victorious. It suddenly caught the snake by the head and flying with it to an old pine tree, succeeded, after a hard struggle in fastening it to a pointed splinter. Thus pinioned, the snake was entirely helpless. The bird watched for a moment with the utmost complacently, and then continued his repast, devouring in ten or fifteen minutes three fourths of the snake.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We take the following paragraph from the Mobile Tribune of the 3rd inst: Two men of our acquaintance of unpeachable veracity witnessed a scene the other day worth recording.
