During a recent storm a very strange in
cident occurred IN the farm Of man
named John Kenney, about three miles
from Longford. There stood in one of
the fields lone tree, hollow in the CEN
ire, and ten years ago Kenny noticed a
swarm of bees fsettling down in it, He
never disturbed them, bat ON the night
of the storm the tree was blown down.
When he went To examine it Kenny found
it contained an enormous amount of hon.
ey, which when taken out, weighed up
wards of 900 lbs. The bees were very
numerous and in a healthy condition.

MR.. GREELEY'S BULL RUN
" INSANITY. .ta ado

Hon. Isaiah r. Williams. Mr..
Greeley's friend and counsel, gives
the following history of his mental
co 'dition after the first great reverse
to the Union army in 1851 !: Tt
was on Sunday morning, after the
first battle Of Bull Run. I was
then living at 48 West Sixteenth
street. New York. Mr.. Greeley
called at my house very early in the
morning. I opened the door and he
walked into the parlor. noticed he
was very melancholy. There was
none of his usual vivacity. [ knew
what the trouble was. and refrained
from mentioning our defeat. hoping
to distract his thoughts. He said
little o" nothing. He seemed absorb
ed in thought. In about an honr,
THE breakfast bell rang, and we walk
ed into breakfast. The same de-
preston continued. He sat with his
head bowed. said nothing, refusing
to eat for about ten minutes Then
he sail, in his usual, pleasant voice,
Can | go into your study and lie
down." replied. Eyes - and he
went out. [ found him there few
minutes later, and saw he was sniff
erlng intense mental anguish. [ rail-
lied him on his melancholy, and he
looked up at me AMI said, II fear all
Is lost. The country is gone )"
endeavored to cheer him, but If seem
ed impossible to rally him. I felt that
his heart had been crushed. Once in
a while he exclaimed. 90" 90
90! the country is gone" I again
endeavored to console him and to dis
tract his thoughts. | sent for Isaac
Sherman, also a personal friend Of
Mr.. Greeley, and we conversed chree-
fully in his presence about the defeat,
taking the most hopeful view of af,
fairs, until dinner time. We, all
went to dinner, but Mr.. Greeley ate
nothing. [ advised him to take a
cup of tea, bnt he refused. Some
times, when weak and nervous, he
would drink cup of weak tee, and
felt better afrerward. He left the
table before dinner was over, and sal
in the parlor. In tine afternoon some
more Of his friends called, and
called coach, and we took ride
through the park. That night Mr..
Greeley went to his lodgings [ call
e | on him next day and found him
little if any better. [ advised him
to go to Chappaqua and take country
air. He went out there and remain
Ell there two weeks. John G.. Fer
guson went with him. For several
days ne did not sleep fifteen minutes
at time Mr.. Ferguson would
walk out with him and keep him out
until he became exhausted, then he
would sleep few minutes, and in
that way he finally regained his nor
NAL condition. On the seventeenth
day he returned to New York greatly
+eneftted, and the people of the city
thought Mr.. Greeley had been only
ordinarily Ill.

Decision for Christ


After the disgraceful defeat of the
Romans at the battle of Allia Rome
was sacked, and it seemed as if at
any moment the Gau1s might take
the Capitol. Among the garrison
was a young man of the Fabian
family, and on a certain day the an
niversary of q sacrifice returned,
when his family had always offered
sacrifice upon Quirinal Hill. This
hill was in the possession of the
Gauls but when the morning dawn
ed the young man took the sacred
utensils of his god, went down from
the Capitol, passed through the
Gallo sentries, through the main
body, up the hill, offered sacrifice,
and ca me back unharmed. It was
always told as a wonder among Ro-
man legends. This is just how the
Christian should act when descision
for Christ is called for. Though he
be a solitary man In the midst of
q thousand opponents, let him at
the precise moment when duty calls,
fearless of all danger, go straight to
the appointed spot, and remember
that consequences belong to God,
and not to us. I pray God that after
that after this style we may witness
for Christ.

Reading Out.

SIMON CAMERON, commander IN chief

syIvania, is busily engaged in reading
out" of the party those Republican
Journals and men whodO not go for Hart
ranft and himself. AS the party IN that
state has been decreasing of late years.
and is none too large at best, 1T will be
seen that Cameron is engaged In a very
dangerous business. He is weakening
the party for a defeat. He is reading
out its gingeFly majority ana making 1t
q minority party. OF course we have
no objection TO this; on the contrary we
are deeply grateful to Cameron for the
mischief he Is doing in the AdmInlstra-
tion camp, and wish him good speed IN
the business. The Philadelphia Press
defies the communications of " tins
PENNSYLVANIA pcpe,n y as it callshim, and
resists his mandates with fierce resent
ment. Here is a specimen of its war
fare, which shows how things are going
in that state;

National Convention were not selected

the name of his son for wee president,
and then refused TO allow the name of

could easily have been presented as the
choice of the state that Is to decide the
presidential issue this year-especlall
with the war between COlfax and WI
