Readers of Washington Irving and his delightful akatoh book, an familiar with tha “Yula Clog," and tha “Lord of Mia mi* in England."

Ha rammed tha volume down Iho animal's throat, crying “Graoaum Eat," until tha boar waa choked to death. Tha custom of docking houses and church** with avsrgroans is from tho druid praotioaa in Franco and Germany. It ia au English superstition that on Christmas ava oxen era always found on thair knesa in an attitude of devotion, and that attar tha change from tha old to tha naw style, they oontinuad to do this only on Iho avo of old Christmas Day.
