Lucky Find OF A Bee Tree.

John +. Glass. the timber man
bought some nice white oak trees
from d. N. Riley. who owns the
Frank Glenn farm" on the
Fredonia aud DycusburV road,
one of which measures 1888 feet,
which at $3.50 per hundred
brought nearly 5000. The tree
had a hollow limb in the top
which was found to be full Of
honey. Mr.. Riley and his friends
who have since been feasting on
milk and honey, with hot bis.
cults and yellow butter on the
side, say it is better to be born
lucky than rich.
