\ MYSTERIOUS Lock OF EAIR-The
Frederick County Examiner says: A
large locust tree, measuring two feet
across the stump, and probably century
Old, was felled on Monday morning, at
the farm of Col. Edward Schlcy, adjoin-
iug that city, and upon splitting the butt.
Il lock of beautiful auburn hair about SIX
teen inches long, and ued III a single
knot, was found imbedded in the heart.
1t Is evident that hole was bored IN the
tree many years ago, the lock placed in
1t, and secured by a wooden pin. In
course of time, the bark and successive
layers of woody fibre grew over the pin,
perfectly concealing it from detection.

tress. Who can tell the history Of this
