YEATEs' KNoB.-During our recent visit to the
mountains we heard the following veracious story
of the manner in which this peak "a peak of the
Black) obtained its name.
A hunter by the name Of Yeates found himself
about night on the top of this peak and concluded
to remain on it until the next morning. Having
leaned his rife against tree, he took off his shot
bag and hung it on what he supposed to be broken
limb of the tree. Judge of his surprise on awaking
the next morning to find his sho: bag gone. as an
Irshman would say. After a little reflection he
came to the conclusion that it must have been the
horn of the moon which he mistook for broken
limb; so he waited until night and as the moon
came round he took off his shot bag, made his way
down the mountain, told his story, and ever since
the peak has been called by his name.
