MIR. D. V. l.. Schenck. OF Delaware
tsp, tells us that he picked up land
turtle on his farm, on Tuesday of last
week, which was marked d. K, 1884,
and Immediately after, another marked

ed on the farm for Major W. X. Dat, and
| Lewis Kline worked on the same farm in
1874. Mr.. Schenck says that he came
across the same turtles in 1876. So the

to attain size large enough TO mark.
They may be much older than that
