MAN GROWN BY GUAEo AND ELEcrRIcr
TY. The New Haven Courier tells the fol.
lowing capital story
citizen Of this place while recently on a
tour in the State Of New York was induced
to make one Of the audience of an itinerant
lecturer who was holding forth upon the elf
cacy OF electricity as applied 10 vegetable pro-
auctions.
In the course of his harangue, Guano was
incidentally alluded TO as powerful agent in
quckenIng the growth Of plants, and the eff
iects OF both were displayed in such glowing
language that the auditory soon imagined
themselves standing in the midst of a field and
endeavoring to measure the height OF the grain,
before 1t was out OF reach. The whole as
Semby were in fine state of enthusiasm, and
swallowing down the wonders revealed to
them with opened mouths and starting eyes,
when plain looking old farmer arose, and,
with apparently much dltIidence, begged leave
to confirm the lecturers statements, By the re-
IdtIon OF an incident winch he had recently
witnessed, and to which he was party:
II have" said he, "a very bad boy, named
tommy; he's given us good deal Of trouble,
ana having tried various methods to reform
mm without success, | told my wife that it
would be best to try something that was new,
ana rather more severe. Accordingly we
agreed to shut him up at night in the bam-
This answered very well for a while, but he
grew worse again, TILL finally | was obliged to
smut HIM up III the barn every night by sun
down.
Well, one night while Tommy was roostinr
with the cattle, aHd | was in bed, there came
on tremendous thunder storm. 1t hrhtened
sharP enough to put cut mans eyes, and
Numbered so loud that it made the house rat
tie Ike snare drum. Feeling rather uneasy
ABOUT the boy, got up early IN the morning,
and went out to see how he Jared. As | was
gong to the barn, met man most eight foot
hlgh coming towards me. never had seen
such tail critter in all my life before, and
begun to feel sorter scarble at having him
about the premises.
Ho!o, says !, as soon as could speak, VINO
yard:
The strange looking animal answered in a
little !squeaking childs voice, 'Why ilther, it's
me; don't you know Tommy"
"fou, says !; why Tom, how on earth did
you get stretched out so long in one night;
why, you're growed as tall as all out doors,
don't you know it''
"Why, yes, father" says he, II s'pose |
have, for last night slept on them bags Of
Guano you put in the barn, and that and the
lightning together just did the business
The effect of this story upon the audience
was indeed electric. Peal upon peal of laugh
ter followed, the people went off every way,
and the next day the lertnrar upon oIortricify
and guano was among the missing.
