An Old Landmark DESTROYED.

An old landmark which for years
has been used as a guide to river pilots
by day and by night ,on the upper Ohio
was unavoidably destroyed Saturday
morning. The landmark referred to
was the old tree hat has stood for CEN
turtles, perhaps, on the beach at Mat
amoras. The tree has been dead for
some time, but every night the gov
ernment lamp was hung from one of
it's branches and by day the pilots
steered by it. Saturday morning, dur
ing the heavy wind, the steamer Ben
Hur on her up trip made a landing
at the beach to take ON board some
freight, piled just above the tree.
When the landing was made the bow
line was made fast to the tree. A gust
of wind threw the stern of the boat ont
into the swift water, while the wind
was blowing very stiffiy. Another
line was made fast to the tree to hold
the boat, butthe strain proved too
much, pulling the tree up by the roots
and into the water. The tree has been
used to hang the government light on
for twenty years, ever since the lights
have been used on the river.-Wheel-
ing Register.
