    Lone Trees.
    On my uncle's farm,situated in Dernagad about two miles from Scotstown,there is a lone tree which stands over a well in a field beside the house.
    Long ago the people living there ploughed the field and as they were ploughing they cut a branch,which was in their way.About two days afterwards,a sow ate the leaves and died that night.When the neighbours heard of the happening they were afraid to touch a lone tree afterwards.
