OLD TERRAPIN.

In the year 1899, Mr.. Michael Will, of this
county, cut the initials of his name on the shell
of land terrapin, upon the farm now owned by
his brother, Adam Will, and it has been seen at
different periods, and has probably never left
the premises since the letters and figures were
cut upon it. 1t was seen few days ago, and
altho' s. years have gone by since the registry
was made upon him, he seems to be doing well,
and may live another half century. How old
this terrapin was when Mr.. Will cut the char.
acters upon him, we Of course have no means Of
knowing he was probably full grown, and may
therefore be with great propriety ranked among
the Coolest inhabitants -1enth Legion.
