NY GRANDFATHER STROY.


My grandfather tells the following
story: In the course of a journey
through the West, he came to a remark
ably healthy locality, where people
lived to Il wonderful old age. AS he ap-
preached the village tavern he beheld
the Oldest white-headed man he had
ever seen, seated on the porch, crying
like a child. In answer to an inquiry
as to the cause of his grief, he sohbed
ont
my father has just been licking
me-"
Thinking the old man insane, my
grandfather went into the bar-room,
and, seeing another man there, much
older than the first, and thinking to
have a little sport with him, he said
"Sir, your % ont there says you
have been licking him."
YES" replied the landlord, for such
he was, 81 could not helpit. The young
rascal was chasing his grandfather
around a ten acre lot, and throwing
stones at him. So l had to interfere,
stranger"
That settled my grandfather. He
concluded he had either stumbled upon
a pair of lunatics, or that he had come
across a remarkably healthy country.
AMONG oon stories, the following
from the COuricr-JOurnai is doubtless
chief: A man in Shelby county, Ky,
while hunting, discovered a large tree
apparently in motion. On approaching
it he discovered that it was hollow, and
split from near the top, and SO full of
coOns that when the coons drew their
breath the tree opened and closed, max
ing a ~screeching noise. He cut the
tree down, and caught and killed forty
seven coons, besides several that got
away.
