Some of the scientisis who make a specialty of folk have lately been jrne inquiries about the malady | which the country people call spring lfever. It is a genuine malady, jthough more disagreeable then sc- rious. Yet it should be taken note jof.

DEACON A Pet Turtle. Bangor, Me., Oct. 15.—In the} town of Patten, a place distant from | tide-water over ninety miles, there | isa great curiositv, known as the “turtle’s nest.’ For fifty two years a turtle has come annually to the nest to deposit her eggs. Over half a century ago she selected her nest, | then in an open field, but now ina yard in front of a residence. A rel- ative of the owner of the house branded the date, 1841, upon the} turtle’s back and it can be plainly traced now. She comes about the | same date each year, and the first few days are passed in inspecting | the ancient nest, the yard and sur- roundings. Luter she digs a hole in | the ground and there deposits her eggs. This year she left forty two} eggs, but as many were carried ! away and the others often disturbed | only sbout a dozen of the eggs hatched out. The owner of thej house has ten of the little turtles, | none more than twice the size of a postage stamp. The old turtle al ways departs after laying the eggs, \ the warm sand and sun serving as an incubator. | This turtle has been seen at the | Drew Deadwater, on the Mattawam- keag river, fully fifty miles away from the nest. Her weight varies from thirty to thirty-five pounds, i Each June branded is she is row. welcomed by old and young.
