BOYS KILLED BY A PYTHON.
THAU 10 SEQUEL TO A KEEPERS NEGLECT. * The two sons of the burgomaster of I'reszlin, Hungary,, have been killed by a python. Their mutilated bodies were found in a field, and it was feared that they were the victims of some unknown wild animal. The occurrence created a state of panic in the district, and the population baracaded themselves behind their doors. It was discovered that the mysterious animal was a python from the zoological gardens. The police found it in a slate of torpor concealed in the long grass, and brought it back to the "zoo." The keeper, it appears, had neglected to feed the snake, and thinkingit had died, he flung it into the river, and told the authorities it had escaped. The man was punished by a severe beating from the indignant populance.
