The Tobacco Crop.

The Louisville Cowier-Jounal estimat-
ed the aggregate of the tobacco crop in
the United States this year at 100000 hogs
heads and $4,000 cases; as compared with
265, 600 hogsheads and 100000 cases in
1878, and 272,0OO hogsheads and $4,000
cases in 1872. Adding in the stock left
over, the total supply this year is 26O,S6o
hogsheads as compared with 370,423 in
1878, and 373,903 in 1872. Calculating
that the requirements will be the same as
in previous years, the supply left in the
markets October, 1915, will be only 1000
hogsheads, as compared with $4,000 this
wear, and 115 ,000 in 1878.

The New York Times, the leading Re-

to the fact that the colored men divided
their votes at the recent elections between
the Democrats and Republicans in the
South, we'll remarks: at may be politi-
cal heresy, but we confess that the division
of the negro vote is to US an encouraging
fact in the recent elections. 1t is especial
ly encouraging when, as in South Carolina,
the division was effected by an appeal to
the negroes to rebel againt their former
leaders in order to secure honest govern

80 said the blessed Lord of heaven
Long centuries ago.
And so atiown the age
Here mourning millions said
In agony above the forms
OF the beloved dead.
Thine is n bitter grief
For she who sleeps to-day
Was gentle as the birds ot Spring
And sweet as flowers of May.
In the dark, tender age
Slept pri>oned tears and smiles,
And sunshine that made warm the heart,
And magic that beguiles.

And heard the voice so low
knew not what il was that made
My heart towards her go,
Save that she seemed to me
AS true and sweet, as one
Known for long years. We little thought
Her journey almost done.
Yes thine is bitter grief
And grief will have its way
But O. how sweet the thought, that she
Wakes to eternal day!
No night is hers, no cloud,
No mortal pain or doom,
No shrouded woe, no anxious care,
No dread, no death, no tomb.
All light and life and joy
All peace serene in heaven
Oh! what n change the Warder strange
That we call Death, has giveni
And she will watch with thee
Tie babes thy true hearts hold.
Her little lambs, tho motherlesS
Have found u tender fold.
Dear stricken ones, may peace
Fall on thy hearts to-day,
And dews of heavenly blessings come
TO gladden. all thy way.
Only n few short years,
And fieeting days shall glide
Along the river of time, when thou
Shalt cross to the other side.
All! who can picture here
That wonderouS meeting again?
When all that Love has taken away
Love shall give back again.

| From the Pottsville PENN journal
The other day young man named
BENJAMIN Machamer, one of the best
hunters in Northumberland county,
made a remarkable escape from a well
into which he fell. This well is in the
lower part Of the town OF Trevorton,
near the old round.house. So long a
time has elapsed since it has been in use
that its existence was almost forgotten.
Il is about eight feet wide and eighteen
feet deep, and at the present time con.
tains ten feet of water. 1t was covered
with plank the day in question. Macha-
mer started out in pursuit of game, ac-
companied by his dog, a valuable setter.
His path lay near the old well, into which
his dog had the misfortune to fall, through
hole caused by the decaying planks
The dog was highly priced by Mr.. Ma
ehamer, who, in attempting to rescue IT
fell in himself. In an ordinary sized
we'll the situation would have been dan
gerous, and in this case it was extremely
so, as the unusual width of the well pre-
vented him from bracing himself against
the side. The only possible way for him
| to get out was TO climb up one side, aud
as the wall was very closely built, this
was a difficult feat. But It was struggle
for life, and Mr.. Maehamer, being a
young man of powerful strength and
great energy, resolved to try. He sue
ceeded in almost reaching the top,
only to lose his hold and fall
back. Again and again he climbed
up the side Of the wall, and each time
fell back into the cold water beneath.
Every time he fell back the halfstrangled
dog would spring upon his shoulders,
thus bearing him down and keeping him
under water. In spite of this difficulty,
however, he would succeed in regaining
| the wall. At one time be became faiEt
from the effect of the impure air. he
| had found q small stick floating on the
water, which he inserted in the wall and
placed one foot upon it, then put both
hands in another aperture, thinking il
be did swoon he might possibly hang
there until he returned to CONSCIOUSNESS.
The faintness, however, passed away,
and he again attempted TO reach the top.
Finding that his clothes greatly impeded
his progress, he succeeded in divesting
himself of his coat and boots, one oi
which ne threw off, leaving the other
i with the coat to sink to the bottom,
Thirteen times he climbed up the side OF
the we'll, aud thirteeS times he fell
back into it. His perseverance sur
passed that Of the traditional spider, for
be had great odds 10 contend with. Al
last, almost worn out, be made a ina
effort and reached the top. BE didn't
wait for the dog, but started for home
Immediately, and told his story. Hil
father and another gentleman returned
at once and rescued the dog. Mr.. Mac
hamer states that he was in the we'll an
hour. The escape was wonderful.
