A NATURAL CURIoSITY.-The Ursina
correspondent uf the Somerset Standard fur
nishes the following account Of a great nat
ural curiosity to be seen near Haruedsvle,
in that county
Some thirty years ago seven little poplar trees
were planted in the shape of circle In little
grove on the farm now belonging to William
Hanna. a little girl that used to wander to
this little grove took sick and died. Her dying
request was that they should bury her in the
centre of this circle, which was complied with.
The trees grew rapidly, and i'll a few years uni
ted into one body over the grave: Growing as
one tree to the height of ten feet each tree
sprung up sep0rately till now each one meas
IIrcs three feet IN thickness. Tte gravestones
were forced up with the growth OF the tree and
arc lodged in the fork. ] defy the country to
bring up anything to equal this.
We learn that persons in some parts of
this county are shooting grey squirrels at
this early portion of the spmmer season. -
We would cali their attention to the act of
the Legislature, approved the ist of april,

being FIVE dollars for every squirrel SO killed,
