EXTRAORDINARY GROwrH OF HAIR.
Tho ordinary length IF the hair on
the head Of a woman varies from
twenty inches 10 a yard. in some in
stances even longer than that; but
they are OF unusual occurrence its
weight from five to ten ounces 4
contemporary relates an instance
where the lair on Il lady's head at
tanned the measurement of two yards
in length. But its proper length for
texture and strength sh0nld not cx-
cecddwcnty four inches. its value
as long hair is much deprecated in
price when it falls shorter. 1t has
been calculated by Withof that the
beard grows at tie rate OF a line and
half per week, which gives length
Of SIX inches and half in the course
OF year. while for Il man of eighty
years Of age. twenty seven feet would
have fallen before the razor The
beard Of tho Burgomaster liant Stem

casion. having forgotten To fold up
the same. he trod upon it as he as

Our venerable and worthy fellow

that day. His son, Rev. John w.
Wolff, and our friend DR.. j. w. Best,

On Thursday last, the 9th of this

and his cstimablc wife, Mrs. Mary

was given of the day-no invitations

and no unusual preparations marked
the occasion at BoydvilIc, neverthe-
less all the children and grand-chil-
dren who happened to be in our city,
assembled and spent the day pleas
antly and quietly at the old domicil.
Notwithstanding the silence observed
in regard to the occasion, the telc-
graphic messengers were busy all day
in carrying messages of congratuIa-

the most beautiful flowers were for

lives have been spent more happily
and prosperously than the couple

they had eight children, all now mar

death has occurred in their immediate
family during the half century of
their marriage.

A story Told by Gov. Allen, o! Ohio.

- Acn OF our lime.
When Senator Allen arrived in Washing
ton in 1887 he found the city filed with
strangers. who had come from all parts Of
the country to be p: esent at the inaugura-
tiou of President-elect Van Buren,. Among
them were number of leading men from
Ohio, and they occupied so much of their
newly elected senator's time that it was
not until late On the night of the Sd of
March that he had an opportunity of
speaking informally ard freely with his
life long friend, President Jackson. On
that night he entered the White House, a
senator of the nation, to see the great man
who, little more than twenty years before,
in the Lynchburg tavern, had laughed at
his boyish curiosity and wondered at his
ready tongue. Without ceremony, being
we'll known to the attendants, he was
Chief Justice Taney and Mr. Forsyth, OF
Georgia, secretary of state and ex minister
to Spain, were already in the room and
Jackson, himself active and TO certain
extent restless, IS usual, stood in the mid
die of the floor, smoking a short corncob
pipe. He congratulated Allen warmly
upon his election to tho Senate, and then
calling to young Irishman who acted as
his body servant and waiter, turned to his
visitors and said
Gentlemen, think the occasion will
warrant me in breaking over one of my
own rules. Let us drink little Madeira"
Tho wine was brought. jackson took
small glassful-it was tho first he had
been known to touch for several months
and then, asking his friends to excuse him
for few moments, be finished writing Il
letter upon which he was engaged, sealed,
directed it, aud, lighting his cob pipe
again. took a Whit or two. Then he stood
silently watching the face of a tall, Old
fashioned clock which stood in one corner.
It was five minutes before midnight
five minutes before the advent of the day
on which Andrew Jackson would cease to
be president of the United States. Slowly
the minute hand moved on the dial. The
silence in the room became almost pain
full. 1t was broken by the clear sharp bell
of the clock striking tho last hour of a day
which had gone forever. Then Jackson,
starting suddenly, and looking toward
his friends, said, with quick, nervous
laugh:
"Gentlemea, am no loager president
of the United States, but as good citizen
as any of you."
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1883-08-27

but this is now declared not to be tho case.
A professor has found out all about it. An
insect No! 1t is fungus-nothing but
fungus. The insect theory is all in my
eye. Hence, it is the fungus We have to
deal with, and this fungus grows from
seedlike spores, which spores germinate
spring, attach themselves to the bark from
the outside and penetrate to the new wood
that is being formed, and on this delicate
substance it let's loose the dogs of war and
the result is the nasty looking, shapelsss
and disgusting appearing lump, wart,
excressence, or what not. The
learned professor referred to then goes on
and tells us how it progresses in its efforts
on the track of destruction then tells us
the very importont fact that it is American
by birth. and claims Virginia as its native
land. Well, this is something. The idea
that, after finding out that this knot is
not produced by an insect, but is q member
Of the fungoid family, and was discovered
by fuDgologist should be secuted by
everybody! Now, to divide the honors
nicely, we suggest to the professor most
to admit that the veritable
knot is tho work Of q fungicorous insect.
