of P o rtlan d , is the donator. T he o rig
inal. which is now in the Sm ithsonian
In stitu te , w eighs several tons and hit
the earth w ith terrific force, burying
itself tw elve or fifteen feet in the
ground. A farm er living nearby real
izing its value, succeeded in hauling it
off in the night tim e, and Mr. P attulo,
w ho ow ned the land on which it fell
o nly regained it through a law suit.
