Az ANCIENT APrLE.-Col. Samuel Jacques,
Of the Ten Hills Farm" near Boston, has pre-
senled to the American Antiquarian Society an
apple more than fifly-six years old. 1t WIS
given him on the 9th Of September, 1899, rs a
birthday token, by lady, the period of whose
entrance INTO fe happened TO correspond with
his own.
The original size of the apple was about that
of large cranberry, and what ia somewhat re-
markablc, il grew from small bud starting out
of stout limb while the rest of the fruit oil the
tree (lhe summer Herye) was large, the apples
weighing from two TO fourteen ounces each.
This venerable specimen is as well preserved
as an Eeyption mummy It has as many wrir-
kles as usually belongs to extreme old age, and
exhibits the complexion TO which everything
mortal is wont TO como at last Worcester SPY

ANOTHER ANCIENT APPLE There is now
in the family Of the late Mr. Hobbs. ut North
ampton, in this State, an apple which grew in
the year l776, which is siill in good state of
preservation, An interesting child, near the
hour Of It's death, crsved the then fresh apple,
and after atiemptin to bite it, il was thrown
aside. We have recently seen IL, and the marks
Of the teeth are still visible. 1t is little re.
markable that it blossomed under British gov
ernment was growing VIII our Independence
was declared, and was gathered as one Of the
first fruits Of American Independence. 1t is
preserved as an interesting family relic.
