What constitutes n "Fixture" depends largely on tho Intcnllon of the owner In pulliii It there, end also upou tho manner in which It is aflixsd. Anything so fixed to tho coil or tho buildings' that it cannot be removed without injury, nearly always goes with tho farm) and anvllilnj nf a per manent nature, fitted lor tiermnncnt use, and annexed thereto by thn owner with that intention, generally goes with the land, though it might bis'sovVrod without any Injury, as llio following examples will illustrate: All fences upon, tho farm go with it, hut not fencing materials; -as rails, etc., if bought clicwhero and piled upon tho farm, and not ct built into a fence; they have never yet been "annexed.." But rails rut from timber standing on the farm and piled up for future use, go with It; their original annexation is not severed by being changed from standing trees, tivralls. If, however, they were- cut With' tlieinlentlpn nf using them elsewhere than'on the farm, they would then bo personal property, and would not pass. The baro intention in the mind of tho owner In this Instance makes the dillercnre between real estate and per Sonal property.

Atlanta, Ga., claims to have the finest church building in the South. A cherry tree in Carter county, Ky., is 13 feet in circuinlercnce and sixty feet high. At Kingston, N. Y., is a grand old elm, in which over 200 birds built their nests the past season. Recently compiled statis tics place the death rate rom the administration of chloro form at one per 1,000. An old, rustv iron box. re cently found at the roots of a tree in Gwinnett county, Ga., contained 200 in gold. An elephant on exhibition at Uarnesville, Ga., was so enraged because a man gave him a piece of tobacco that he struck the offender .a fatal blow with his trunk. Some boys played high waymen at Green, Illinois. The first man whom thy had fun with carried a heavy cane, and he struck a blow in dead earnest, fracturing the skull that it hit. A Mississippi physician says the day is not lar distant when cotton-sccd oil will have taken the place of lard the world over. He pronounces it much purer than lard, and a great deal healthier. A Charlottesville, Vt.,print- cr has accomplished the feat of putting 2,452 legible words on a postal card with a lead pencil, reserving in the centre of the card a circle the size of a gold .dollar, in which is in scribed the Lord's prayer. An enormous bunch of grapes, carefully enclosed in a glass case, was shown through Michigan by a peddler, who had for sale sprouts from what lie said was a vine of the same variety. Thc'exhibit-was at length discovered to be wax work. "While a sportsman was fishing in Clarke county, Va., one day, recently a duck, un observed by him, dived and swallowed his minnow, and he had the surprise and pleas ure of landing m his boivt. and capturing a live duck in that novel manner. A girl of "Wi u'eon,- Iowa," being excessively fond of ba bies, borrowed one of a neigh bor for tlie day. It fell into a fire and was burned to death. The girl was not immediately the cans? of the accident, and yet she was so grieved and frightened by it that she died within an hour. A very successful trial of an improved telephone was made i lie other day in Boston over a line 503 miles in length. Conversation was carried on lor three hours. The articul ation was very distinct, and powerful enough to be heard with the receiving telephone six inches from the car. A Tennessee family may well claim to have "iron con stitutions." Though not ro bust naturally, the members of the ' family have drank so f.-ecly from a spring impreg nated with iron that they have become surcharged with .blood and have to resort to the lan cet to keep their constitutions in a normal condition. A novel funeral procession was recently witnessed at Montgomery.Ala. The child of a poor family died, and the father, too pcor to hue a hearse or wagon, carried the coffin containing his dead picaninny on his head to the cemetery, the mother and the other members of the family file behind. and catching alli gators is becoming quite an occupation in the S'outh. Tho hid j of a large alligator is worth from $1 to $2, while its oil is much valued as a remedy for rheumatism. Young ones arc bought by dealers at from $2 to S4 a dozen, if not over a foot in length. They arc often found by dozens in shallow water, and may be handled witluut trouble. A Philadelphia jury gave a verdict of $9,000 against u street car company, not be cause an injury to one of the plaintiffs eyes was as yet any damage to him, but on tho ground that at some future time, as a physician testified, inflammation might arise and destroy the sight.
