Tree 800 Years Old.

The "grand-daddy" chestnut tree of
Frederick county is no more. 1t reached
the age of 800 years, it is estimated.
Death was due to general debility or
Senility. The stately old tree was 10 feet
high, feet in diameter and about III feet
around. 1t made 10 loads of wood when
cut up.
The old tree was on the farm of Mr..
William P. Morsell. which is along the
Jefferson pike near Frederick. This farm
was formerly part of the Edward How
ard estate, and generations of the How
ard family have seen this old tree and
gathered chestnuts from it. Mrs. VIM.
P. Morsell, who was Miss Howard be-
fore marriage, says she remembers her
father speak of the tree, which for GEN.
turtles has stood through storms and sun
shine.
By counting the rings on the tree, Mr..
William Howard has made an estimate
that the old tree was fully 300 years old.
The tree was felled by Lewis Plunkard
and Jacob Henry. 1t was located near
the old Howard home, and was a famil-
lar sight to all who have been on the
farm.
~ thS HSS 10 wv tNoAo OAN, WhiSA -
very likely since chestnut trees do attain
great age and grow to immense size, il
has stood there since before the Revolu-
tionary War, going back to 1914 II
goes back to the days of the Indians and
wildernesses, and if the old tree could
talk it could probably tell all kinds of in
teresting things. Frederick's whole his
tory was enacted during the lite of the
old tree.
The largest known chestnut tree is the
famous Castagno di cento cavilli, or the
chestnut of hundred horses. on the
slopes OF Mount Etna, tree which when
measured nearly hundred years ago
was found to have a circumference Of
100 feet.
The chestnut tree Of the Howard es.
tate has been bearing some chestnuts
even IN recent years.

Appropriation Law For Monte
tevue to be Enacted.

The law under which Montevue has
received $40, 900 from the State for
the years 1912 and 1913 will be
re-enacted within short time, according
to the announcement of Jacob Rohrback,
attorney to the Board of County Com
missloners.
This sum supplies the deficiency be-
tween the sum appropriated by the
county for the care of the Montevue pa
tients and the actual sum required for
such care. The county appropriation is
500 for each patient. All in excess of
that sum comes out of the $4,000 State
appropriation.
The original appropriation was only
for the years 1912 and 1913, and the re-
enactment is necessary to continue the
States support of the institution.
