Speaking of old things, John E. Duke of Liberty Hill, has a trunk 124 years old,

brought from Ireland by his great grandfather and grandmother in 1764. It is a 
box trunk, made of rawhide, bound with hoop iron, the latter being painted 
alternately red and green, and retains the same lock and key in [?] service. He 
also has a churn that is 47 years old, of which from $60 to $70 worth of butter 
has been made every year.
