An owner of timber land in Virginia, on reading

he has made three such discoveries witbiu ten
years. In each instance the saw in the mill struck
an iron spike, and around the head of the spike
was found a tuft of negro hair, a little yellowed,
but souud and strong, although it had been cov
ered ud iu the wood from 100 to 150 years, as shown
by the tree’s marks of yearly growth. This gentle
man has been told by aged negroes that it used to
be a practice among those who believed iu voudou
charms to nail some of the proposed victim's hair
to a young tree, supposing th.ta diabolical spell
was thus wrought. He finds the race in Virginia
to this day very superstitious, and given to equally
strange customs.

FLORIDA.
Mr. Dowse Bradwell, writing from Suwarce
Springs in this State, to his paper, the Hiuesville
Gazette, speaks of the “Providence Potato,” a new
variety, which bids fair to eclipse all. He says:
This variety of the potato, the origin of which Is
remarkable, deserves some notice. A missior ary
among the Indians in the Everglades found a potato
vine in an old field. From this single vine he ob
tained potatoes to subsist upon and small ones for
seed. These he gave to a friend, and in that way
the potato was introduced. Mr. M. assures us that
from five potatoes thirty bushels were gathered the
first seasin. In six weeks from the time they axe
planted potatoes large enough for table use can be
obtained. When new, the taste is very similar to
the yam, being very sweet and destitute of the ter of
the West India yam.

him behind the left ear and lodged over the right
eye, mangling the whole head frightfully. He lived
about two hours.
