Mr.. 2. NJ, Ostrader, of New Hack

a bunch of timothy at the office of
the Poughkeepsie Telegraph, which
measured full 5 feet in length. The
lot from which it was taken contained
10 acres, covered with a growth aver

OstraLder attributes this remarkable
growth in a season of droUth, to the
fact that last Summer after having,

he in an unparalleled career, rose to the

aisl could not look after out door
matters, and 30 the table found its way
10 Bristol. OF course it was regarded
by the family, a relic too interesting
TO be lost, and on Wednesday last, MIR.
johnson, sou of the EXPresideht,
arrived in Bristol in quest OF it, and
found il safely locked in one Of the y.
II. d. o. cars, and snugly billed for a
distant Virginia town, to which the
aforesaid tailor had already removed.
There was no use in a warrant in det-
mae, for the service could not be made,
and as both table and tailor were in
Virginia, an attachment could not be
gotten IN the State, and one from
Tennessee Justice, could not be served.
Did the pursuit end here? Not
hit of it. Learning that many Of the
Va. cars are backed across the State
line to the Tennessee switch in order
10 get them on the proper track. Mr..
Johnson procured from Justice, on
the Tennessee side, a warrcnt of replev-
in. and when this car was being
switched for its Virginia journey,
there was present, a Tennessee officer,
who very deXterously, switched the
celebrated table out of it, and turned it
over to the son OF the EXPresidemt,
