ANECDorE OF OLD Hickory. A contem-
porary of Jackson told the following story
to Dom Plat:
| remember the towering rage he OK
hlbited when the news reached us that the
figure head, carved in the likeness Of the
President, had been sawed off by some
miscreant in the night. He directed me to
offer Il large reward and swore he would
hang the scoundrel sooner or later
l offered the reward, and one nj ght, some
months after, man sent into my rooms
word that he wished to see me- | ordered
him in, and a rough fellow made his APP
pearance with a sack thrown over his
shoulder. without a word he slung the
sack round and empied a huge wooden
head on the floor.
"There it IS, sir. Now bring out your
BEARS said the man. 1t was a grotcsque
looking thing, sawed off directly under the
nose.
'TL ere it is, | say" he went on. Il had
nothin' agin Old Hickory, but that head
hadn't no business on the old Constitution.
I'd saw it off agin. Now do your damn
dest"
/ ordered the fellow under arrest, aud
taking my carriage, drove to the White
House, with the mutilated head in the sack.

the President, and without saying a word,
sat the head, on its nose, before him Oh the
table. He stared al it, aud then at me, and
when l explained, he burst into a fit Of I'M
comfortable laughter.
"Why, that" he cried, at len gth-'why

from the Berksh hills, of how a beaut full
young woman had a very stern parent, who
hated the young man she loved, even to

near her, and carrying loaded pistol for
that purpose. How she could not leave her
fathers house, save pennless aud alone, So,
on recent day, she left on an errand to a

bravely IA miles through the snow, to a vii

seven miles more and there found tempo

the telegraph wires to her faithful swain in
New York, who strajghtway gladly hasten

the appointments of wedding were extern

troubled, loving hearts, who for three years

there never was a more beautiful bride.
