Ode of the most difficult feata (says a correspondent. at' Saturday's Notes r and Queries) to Perform is to cut off one's bwu head, An Trishmaa did it A'noa, and 1 suppose no one but au Irishman could do it. ' Sir Joutlit Bar- rington is autherety for the following story, (Personal Sketches of his own Time, vol. ii. p. 122.) Abut the year 1796 two laborers were going to mow some grans. Their road lay along the bank 'of the Barrow, They spied a 'large salmon lying half concealed un- der the bank, 'Ohl Ned -Ned dear ! look at that big fellow there; i'e a pity we hadn't a spear, isn't it ?' 411z. aybe,' said Ned,' 'we could be after Spikin' the lad with a scythe hand• 'True for you,' said Donnie, 'the spike on your handle is longer than mine; give him a dig With it, at any - rate.' 'Ay, will I,' return the other; give the lad a prod he'll never forget anyhow.' She spike and the sport were a11''t tlley thought of ; but the blade of the scythe which hung over Ned's shoulders, nev- er Dame into the contemplation of eith- er of them. Ned cautiously !oohed over the bank; the unconscious salmon lay snug, little imagining the conspir- Roy that had been laid agaiust its Life. 'Now hit the lad. smart !' said Den- nie; .'there -now -there ! raise your fiat, now you have the boy ! Now Ned success l success!' Ned struck at the salmon with all his might and main, and that was not tri- fling. But whether 'the boy' was spik- ed or not never appeared, for poor Ned, bending his'neok as he struck at the salmon, placed the vertebrae in the most convenient position for uufur- rushing his shoulders, and his head came tumbling splash into the Barrow, to the utter astonishment of his come rade, who could not conceive how it could drop off so suddenly. But the next minute he had the consolation of seeing the bead attended by one of his owu ears, which had dexterously been sliced off by the same blow wbi&i had beheaded itis comrade. The tread and ear rolled down the bank in comrany, and were picked up with extreme bor. ror at a mill dam near Mr. Richard - son's by one of the miller's men. 'Who does this head belong tot' ex claimed the miller. 'Whoever owned it.' said the man. 'had three ears, at any rate, though they deal match.' Coming Events.
