That beech trees are sometimes struck by
lightning, there can be no doubt An old
farmer IA years DID," writing from Romeo,
Mich, says -"My grandfather hada farm
Of 450 acres, in Stanford, Duchess county,
New York. In one Of the meadows was a
very large, tall, beech tree, left, probably,
in the early clearing for shade tree. When
was . lad Of some eight or ten years old,
IL was struck by lightning, the top entirely
taken off, leaving stump Of some twenty
feet. Well do ] remember with what awe
and wonder we youngsters used to gaze al
the old beech tree, not daring to 60 nearer
than eight or ten rods Of il; for God had
struck it, and il we went near enough Il
touch it we should have the numb palsy !!
Again, in 1882, while living in Ulster
county, New York, large beech tree wa
struck and shivered all to pieces, standing
in the edge of piece Of woods of mine, with
taller trees all around it."

1t is now stated by the same papers which
published the news that "the report of

upon him by Harvard college. We wish the
city papers would give us news that is netOs,
and that the lying reporters who coin news

these city reporters are frequently judged
efficient, or otherwise, in view of their ability
TO "get up" a sens alton.

We are happy to record the fact that
many Of our Western fairs are offering large
premiums for the fastest tUalking horses
This is sensible. A horse that will walk
five miles per hour is much more valuable,
practically, than one which can trot mile in
2-20. Besides, we are told that the best
walkers are likely to make the best trotters.

Some three years ago, $50 grains Of
wheat were taken from an Egyptian tomb
and they came into the possession of an
Indiana farmer. 1t yielded two quarts the
first year, two bushels and half the second
year, and this year he expects a yield Of
twenty bushels. 1t is said to be of superior
quality. This fact proves that seed may be
preserved indefinitely Through long ages

ditiOns of reproduction, it will sprout and
