From the Louisvllc Focus Opposite the mouth of Salt Kivcr in Har

rison County, Indiana, and on the land ot Mi . JJrasier, stands a sycamore tree, which 1 measured on the 8th of May 1828 a tree of such unusual size that it is entitled to a place in the history of that section of country, as an evedence of the fertility of the soil. There were present at the measurement Tanslay Rucker J vmes S. Pi athcr and S. E Cruichfield, gentlemen ol intelligence and citizens of Louisville. The result was in ciicumferencc one foot above the base 65 feet, with a hollow 18 feet in diameter at the base. It is about fifty feet high, a part of the top having been blown off There is a gradual but slight decrease of size to that part, from which an estimate of its ptopablc height orginally may be made It h reported by a gentleman living near, that IG horses have stood in it at once.
