DIR. G. H. Brdckett, while driving
through Vassalboro, a few days ago.
noticed limb of q white maple that
was twisted all out of shape. He as
cended the tree to examine. and found
a most extraordinary case OF a vine
choking and winding the limb into the
most tortuous shape. The vine is
known as "Bittef sweet" and is very
frequent in these parts. It is so
named because Of the bitterness 1t in
f1icts on such trees as 1t infests, with
attendant sweetness of sensation sup-
posed to be felt by itself. 1t makes no
hesitation in attacking any size Of tree,
of any kind or color. It creeps up the
trunk, and when near the top, begins
it's winding business, and twists so
hard, that the vine is found fast in
bedded in the tree. giving it spiral
effect that can be anything but pleas
ant to the victim. The piece Is on ex-
hibition at Bowditch & Webster's,
and, in its present shape. would make a
man an excellenet weapon to hit a fell
low over the head with.
