A Rival for the Crazy QniltS Manu-
factured by the Ladies.
A cane in the possession Of Robert
Yale, of Norwich, Chenango county, n.
Y, contains 2, OG9 pieces, sixty of them
having histories very interesting. Among
the pieces of which the cane is compos-
ed, says the Oswego Timcs-Democrat, is
a piece of wood from the oldest tenant
able house IN America the Fairbanks
residence, built in 1920, and now occu-
pied by the seventh generation. The
head Of the cane is flOm the tree at
Crown Point to which Gen. Putnam was
tied after being decreed to death by
burning by the Indians. Set in the cane
is a wreath of hair from the head Of Re
becca Bates, one of the herOines whose
strategy drove the British to their ship
ping after landing to attack Scituate,
Mass. There is piece Of wood from the
Hancock, the first signer of the Declara-
ton of Independence another from the
house where witchCraft originated in
Salem, and another from the building
where the victims Of that craze We're
tried. Set in the cane is a small piece Of
Plymouth rock, and also a piece ofwOod
from the Mayfower; also, woods from
five different forts on Lake ChampIain.
from Hawthorn's residence at Salem,
from the church where Roger Williams
preached, and from the tree beneath
which Jonathan Edwards preached to
the Indians at Stockbudge, Conn: also
a piece from the curbing Of the well
commemorated by Woodworth in his
poem THE Old Oaken Bucket. The
only foreign relic in the collection is a
piece Of wood from the Tasso oak. In
one side are set likenesses Of Presidents
Washington, Lincoln, Garfield and
Grant. There has been an immense
amount of labor expended in the manu-
facture of the cane. Mr.. Yale values it
at $500.
