Hard Yarns-Very.

A lot of young fellows were try.
ing their skill at story telling q
few days ago. Among the nulner
Gus stories told on the occasion
were the following hard crust kind
of yarns: I'l'7'
Bill said: I know a big tree
that seven men chopped at for
seven weeks, and then they took a
notion to 60 round and look at the
other side. They travelled four
days and then came to a party OF
forty, who had been chopping at
1t for four months, and hot cut
half through it yet.
Tom said: | remember it we'll
1t was an oak. and five million
hogs were fattened yearly on the
acorns that fell from it!
Sam said: The tree was a,
length cut down, and five hundred
saw'mills have been working on il
for two years, and it is not half Gu,
up yet. Two new towns, five
bridges, and rearly a thonsant
barns have been built with the
lumber it has produced. The chip.
in cutting it down, when closel,
heaped, measured four million
cords, and have supplied two fur
naces with charcoal for the last
two years !
Jack said: Deacon Brown af.
terwards dug ont the stump, and
he turned the place into a pasture
for his stock. He kept so many
COWS on it that he made, every
year, a million pounds of butter
and nearly as much cheese!
Now came Joe Moore's trrn
and drawing himself up, he said
Wa'el | dunno how many pounds
Of butter and cheese Deacon Brown
makes a year; but do know tba,
he runs the five hundred saw.mills
sam m mentioned by bultermilk
power
