along the route. It is not difficult to
locate a good road over this route.
There have Just been published sta
tistics of the amount of precious metals
produced in the States and Territories
west of the Mississippi during the
year 1874. From this it appears that
the excess over 1873, which was the
champion year, is $5,142,362, British
Columbia and Mexico being included.
The yield increased in California, Ne
vada, Utah, Colorado and British Co
lumbia, and diminished in Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona
and Mexico. In Nevada and Colorado
the excess is merely nominal, but in
California and Utah it amounts to
$3,100,000, three-fourths of which is
due to the former. The total yield
for 1874 amounted to $74,401,055, and
in view of the recent developments on
the Comstock lode the amount in 1875
is expected toapproximate $80,000,000.

A WOODEX HAM) GROWIXG OUT OF
A GRAIE.
On Monday our city was unusually
excited by the exhibition in the Cour
ier-Herald office of a hand of wood
which grew out of a grave near York
ville, in Gibson county. It was
brought into our office by Capt. G. S.
Andrews of that county, who gave us
its history. William Herron was out
walking with his wife one Sunday
evening not long ago, and in passing
an old, neglected graveyard near the
public road she saw a gum bush with
a bunch of mistletoe on its top, and re
quested her husband to get it for her.
He cut the top off the bush, and com
menced breaking off the mistletoe,
when, to his surprise and terror, he
discovered that the wood underneath
presented the perfect form of a human
hand. Capt. Andrews, hearing of the
wonderful discovery, went to the house
of Mr. Herron, who, feeling rather un-
comfortable^over the thought that he
cut it from a grave, and perhaps hav
ing some theory as to its supernatural
significance, very willingly let Capt.
Andrews have it. The bush from
which it was cut was six feet high,
and the hand was on the top, pointing
upward, presenting the position of the
minister’s hand when pronouncing a
benediction. It is about the size of a
six-years-old child’s hand, with long,
slender fingers like those of a person
very much emaciated by sickness.
The wood has enlarged formations on
each finger and the thumb, represent
ing and corresponding with the joints
of the human hand. The rpost remark
able feature about it is the natural ap
pearance of the nails. They had a
kind of flesh color, and the rest of the
hand, where the bark had been entire
ly removed, looks ghostly white. Mr.
Andrews says the grave from which
it was cut is supposed to be the grave
of a very devout Methodist minister
by the name of Butcher, who was
buried there many years ago.— Jack-
