Three years ago Judge Porter planted near his hunse a few little lemon trees nere twigs of a few inches heIght They took root. but soon after, cattle broke down his fence and devoured his garden, Qnawing the lemon trees right down to the ground. No farther thought was paid to them, no water or care given them dur ing the succeeding three years. Just af ter the rain. of a few weeks ago, green shoots sprang up from the roots of one of these lemon trees and are BOW growing thriftily. It is remarkable instance of vegetable vitality, and seems to show that this County possesses soil and climate favorable to that kind of fruit.

You could toll her by her drunken rawlings, and AZ
it is habituaI with Lens to attempt suicide, the

They were not disappointed, for twenty min
utes had hardly elapsed when the voice OF the
turnkey, Brugneins, could be heard halloong for
knife to cut down Lena, as she had hung her-
self 10 the bars Of the cell with shawl.
Lena, finding her shawl taken from her, twenty
minutes later again attempted TO hang herself 10
the cell bars with her Jersey. she was again
discovered and cut down.
While the turnkey was taking the jersey into
the station clerks off,e, Iona for the third time
attempted to commit sui ide II the same manner,
with the body OF her dress. Brugniens, the turn
key, WAS promptly on hand, and for the third
time cut her down. He WAS then going to hand
cnf her, but she pleaded so hard that on her
promise TO behave herself he gave hes one more
chance.
He bad hardly turned his back whom she tore a
strip from off her pslticoat, and for the fourth

Sha was ent down by The turnkey, hsnd.cuffed,
