Craze of John Rand0iph.-A wri

Of man had never trodden there. Mr..
Randolph would not suffer the primi-
tive aspect of things to be disturbed in
the least. Not tree, or branch, or a
switch was allowed to be cut During
his absence in Europe, a limb of an
oak. projecting towards a window of
one of the houses, grew so near that
old Essex, fearing the window would
be broken, cut the limb of. On MIR.
Randolph's return, he Mt once discov-
cred the mutilation; old Essex was
called up, and The reasons demanded
for cutting of the limb. The old ne
gro told his master that he feared the
window would be broken. Then,
said Mr.. Randolph, why did you not
move the housei"

who treated him and his companion
with great politeness. conducting them

other objects Of interest in the vicini

last resting place.
AT my request, John directed u
to his masters grave, at the foot Of I
