maple trees for such it seems at some
time to have been. One tree about
seven inches in diameter, grows
nearly straight; at the distance of
eleven feet from this, another tree
of the same size has grown in the
form of an arch. This second tree
unltes with the first six feet from the
ground, forming one perfect trunk
which is no larger above the union
than either of those below. The
joint formed is good one; on one
side no seam is visible, on the other
side there is slight opening in the
bark. The arch formed is sufficiently
high and wide for the driving of
span of horses beneath it. This
freak of nature is near the west side
of piece of woods about forty rods
south from the road leading from Mr..
Dodge's buildings TO West Glover.
