about this place, which I wish you to see, for it is quite a 

 curiosity. It is an elm of considerable size : one of the main 

 branches, apparently the leading limb, has been partly broken 

 off'; but being held by the under part, only inclines toward 

 the ground, without touching it ; from this broken bough 

 three vigorous and branchy shoots have arisen at some dis- 

 tance from each other, presenting the curious appearance of 

 three young trees growing in the air. We shall come to it 

 soon, if we have not passed it unobserved. Yonder it is, on 

 the left hand side of the road. 



SINGULAR ELiM.
