leoecd of Hangman's Stone.

Numerous large powders in Eng land as we'll as in this country have received the name of the hangman's stone. as a result of Il legend which attaches much the same story to each. There were two tendS in the parish of Foremark, in DcrbyShire. called the Great and the Little Uangman'S Stone, from the bouiderS which they con, tuined. The former was five or six feet high. with an indentatioE running across the top. This peculiar mark was explained by tradition. as follows |: Once upon a time a thief. having stolen a sheep. placed his booty on the top ot the stone while he rested. but it slipped off and strangled the man with the rope which tied the sheep to his back, the indeutation being made by the friction of the rope passing back and for,h in the struggles of the dying man to eNrricute himself.

In accordance with the request of the mans relatives the devotee took the luuatic to Nose temple. where he threw him in pool beneath waterfall known as Shintaki, holding him fast there with ropes. He repeated the process for d few days. Needless to say the lunatic's health suffered considerably by this extraordi- nary treatment. X few days later. at about a. m.. the zealot threw the lunatie in the basin of the waterfall as usual and left him there for few hours Before he returned the man died from exhaustion and cold.
