DEATH FROM SNAKEBITE.
A little boy, five years old, son of Thomas Brown, farmer, an old resident at Boon, near Mansfield, Victoria, was bitten by a tiger snake while playing with his brother in a woolshed. He dropped a knife, and putting his hand through an opening in the floor to recover the knife, he was bitten on the little finger. His parents knew nothing of it till half an hour after, when the child began to vomit, and complained of pains in the head. His father drove him fifteen miles to Mansfield for medical aid, but the child died soon after.
