David FLINT, who lives near
Pike, n. Y. chopped down q
maple tree at the roadside op-
posite his house the other day.
The tree. owing to its great size,
had been for years a landmark
in that vicinity. 1t was sixty
feet high and four feet in dame
ter. In splitting mp the great
logs the tree made, he found in
the butt log, five feet from the
lower END and near the heart of
the tree, q lock of soft, dark
brown hair q foot long. One
end of the lock was in q hole
three and a half inches deep and
half an inch i'll diameter, into
which it Was fastened by An oak
pin, which had been driven into
the hole.
Ninety successive rings or
layers Of wood in the tree had
grown over the hair and the pin,
showing that they had been
driven into the tree ninety years
ago, when the maple was less
than a foot in girth. The lock
of hair is as glossy and with as
much apparent vitality as if 1t
had Just been severed from the
head that wore IL
Tie opinion among many is
that The woman whose hair is
thus SO singularly brought to
light after nearly . century was
the victim of some Indian mas
saere, and had been fastened by
her hair to the maple while her
capt0rs tortured her. The more
likely theory is, though, that the
person 10 whom the treas be
! longed was a believer in the sa-
perstition Of the early pioneers
that certain maladies could be
cured II the sufferer had a lock
Of his or her hair driven into a
tree, fastened by an oak plag
and then cut of. provided the
patient thereapon walked Away

The next Governor of MIssis
sippi, who will be indicted into
Sfiee on Jan. Is, 1896, for a term
Of four years, will have the nam
ing of the entire judiciary OF
the State, with the exception of
two supreme court judges. This
10 unusual. 1t grows out Of the
fact that under the old law the
term of a circuit judge was
six years, while under the new
law it is four years, the same as
that Of chancellor. The term OF
a supreme judge Is nine years.
There are no unexpi-ed terms
in the matter of circuit judges
or chancellors When a vacancy
occurs by death or resignation.
a successor is named by the
Governor for a full term of four
years. 1t is different with su
preme court iudgeships wher
a vacancy occurs there a sue
eessor is appointed to fill out
