An Alligator in a Tree.

John Wilson, living .near A’stor, Fla., cut a big cypress tree in the swamp north of town, and found therein a live alligator seven feet long. As the opening in the tree was not half large enough for the ’gator to get through the presumption is that it crawled in when quite young and lived on other animals and reptiles thatsought refuge in the same tree.
