A FORTY TON ROCKER.
The Wonderfully Balanced Stone Found
 in a Sullivan County Valley.

The Wonderfully Balanced Stone Found
 in Sullivan County Valley.
 Perhaps one of the most interesting objects in picturesque Sullivan county, New York state, is the 'Rocking Stone" on the farm of Joseph McLaury, two miles west of the county site, r-ontlcelio, on the old Newburg and Cc-Aecton turn pike. In the center of rather demure looking stone wall, of which it is part, stands rock whose history is as yet un- written, and lies buried with the dead of many generations. The farm within the boundaries of which it rests is in valley at an elevation of some 300 feet above the level of the sea, forming in consequence most appropriate pedestal on which to stand
 At first sight it probably would not attract more than g passing notice, but it is when second and closer observa- tion is made that tho wonderful and delicate hand of nature is seen, both in its composition and smoothly chiseled sides. In size it is nearly 800 cubic feet, shaped very much like an orange, and weighing 60,00O pounds, or forty tons, and so nicely balanced on a table of rock as to be easily set in motion from either the north or south side, yet the combined strength of a hundred men, without artificial appliances, could not dlslodge it from its present position.
 Its body is composed of a loose and soft sandstone, in which are imbedded numberless round and hinty pebbles of diamond like hardness. In all the valley where it is situated it is the only specimen of its class, around and under it the stones being of an entirely differ ent structure. The table on which 1t rests is a hard stone, nearly as firm and close grained as the blue stone cut from the quarries of Sullivan county. Whence 1t migrated or the date of it's pilgrimage-fo it is supposed to have been lodged there by some volcanic eruption during the Drift period-lies not in the old tradition of the county. i Some of the adamantine pebbles that i cluster thickly on it's surface have been ground off and split in two, probably by the tremendous attrition suffered in its passage. The only relative specimen oi | it's kind in North or South America is il ! the northern part of Canada. Its sides and corners have also been ground tC almost emery fneness by powerful ele mentS.
 It stands alone. a silent monument ot a departed age. erected by nature tt commemorate the mighty forces Whicl have been and are ever working for th' improvement of the earth. for the prof and benefit of man.-New York Press.

A cobbler at Forfar, Scotland, who was an old offender, was sentenced to a fine or imprisonment. To be imprisoned he had to be carried to the jail at Perth. As he had business at Perth he expressed no unwillingness to go. When arrived about to be locked up he offered to pay the fine, which the governor was obliged to take. Then he demanded his fare back to Forfar, which the governor, after hesitating and looking at the law, found that he was obliged to pay. The fare alone amounted to five cents more than the fine imposed. Rams Horn.
