SniMes' Spree.

Sniffles brought his two weeks
spree to a close on Thursday night.
He lay on lounge in the parlor,
feeling as mean as sour lager, when
something in the corner of the room
attracted his attention. Raising on
his elbow, he gazed steadily at it

His wife, he asked hoarsely:
"NIirandy, what is that?"
"What is what, Likey?"
Sniflles' name is Lycurgus, and his
wife calls him Likely for short and
sweet.
"Why, that-that-thing in the
corner" said the frightened man,
pointing at it with a hand that shook
like a politician.
"Likey, dear, 1 see nothing" re,
piled the woman.
"What! You don't see it," he
shrieked. "Then I've got 'em. Oh.

Here, catching another glimpse Of
the terrible object, he clutched his
wife and begged in piteous tones:
"Don't leave NEEDN'T leave your
Likely" and burying his face in the
folds of her dress, he sobbed and
moaned himself into q troubled
sleep.
Then his wife stole gently in the
corner, picked up the toy snake and
threw it into the stove.

Ulin,sLeap.

On the 18th of April, 1892, Benja-
min Tin left the stockadc, above
the mouth Of the Kanawha river
(now Point Pleasant, W. and cross
ing the Kanawha, he followed a path
that led up a point to the top Of the
hill about amile below the Kanawha,
in pursuit ola stray horse. AS he
approached the hill, he was seen by
three Indians, then on the top, who
carefully concealed themselves, and
lay in ambush, until he reached the
top, when two. of them who had arms,
fred at him. One Of their ballspass-
ed through his clothes, and touched,
but did not bury itself, in his right
hip; the other missed him. Finding
their fire had been Intellectual. they
separated, two of them running and
occupying the only passes by which
he could descend the hill, in the d.
rection of the Stockade, and the other
made at him. Thus surrounded, he
was left with no other alternative,
but to fall into their hands as 4
prisoner, or leap down high. preci-
pice of rocks on the north side Of the
hill, fronting the Ohio river. Ac:
quainted with many of the indians,
and knowing their feelings towards
him, he was satisfied that if he fell
into their hands, that a certain, if
not lingering death awaited him.
In this awful predicament, he stood
bordering over his melancholy con-
dition, without arms to defend him
self, until the Indian had come
nearly up to him, when he summon
ed up resolution, and commenced a
rapid retreat towards the brink Of
the prccipice, holly pursued by the
Indian; arrived there he did not hes
itate, but lcaped down the precipice,
passing through the branches Of a
small buckeye tree, he jumped sixty
five and a half feet before he reach
ed the ground. Recovering as soon
as possible, he made three other
leaps, the first seventeen, the second
seven, and the third eleven feet,
which took him nearly to the base Of
the hill. He then ran to the Ohio
river, plunged into the water, and
undertook to swim across; but find
ing the water very cold, and that
the Indians had not pursued, he him
returned to the beach and re-crossed
the Kanawha in a small canoe, and
soon arrived at the Stockade. The
distance of each leap was measured
by Col. Lewis, of Virginia, and Col.
Boon of Missouri, who were at the
Stockade at the time.
> From the fall of the leaves in au-
tumn, to. their budding in spring,
the precipice can be seen by boat
men descending the Ohio river, from
a great distance, and ever since that
occurrence, ithas received from them
the appellation of "Ulin's Leap
Notwithstanding the extraordinary
efforts he made, after leaping down
the precipice, and which enabled
him to effect his escape, they were
not made without considerable inju-
ry for sometime his life was despair
ed Of, but he finally recovered, and
lived to good old age.
After the treaty Of 1875, itwas as
certained from some of the Indians,
who came into Point Pleasant, and
mingled with the whites, that a sto-
ry had been in vogue among them,
and extensively believed in, on the
authority of those who chased Ulin,
"that they had fired on pale face
who ran to the edge of the precpice
and took wings and flew off"

A Clergyman who Prays for his
Wife's Death.

They have queer clerical scandal at Fon
du Lac, Wis, but don't give the name of
the man accused. He became pastor of a
church there, about two years ago, being
2S years old, having just married. a lovely
Michigan woman. He was very jealous,
but at the end of the first year there were
whispers of trouble between him and his
wife. He treated her so abusivcly that she
threatened to leave him, but at his earnest
request she only made short visit away
from home. At the end of month, he went
to her, and told her that he would ruin her
reputation if she didn't return home at once.
When she got home he abused her in the
most shameless manner, lying about her
and applying indecent epithets to her before
company. AT one time, not long ago, after
calling his wife very bad name, he drop
ped upon his knees in the presence of the
wife and others. and addressed the throne
of grace in this language; go, Lord
Thou knowest that my hated wife is the one
great obstacle in the way of revival of re-
ligon in my church. Wilt thou, in thy
goodness, come down and remove her?"

reference to the south there is serious divi

sufficiently shows. Some of the best mer

We are told that 'about three hundred
" dollars will be added to our grand list by
" the taxation of railroads under the new
law" If, as we infer-wc know not the
fact, only infer it from the source of the
utterance-this is to be taken as the yalua-
ton the several railroad companies are
toilling to have placed on their real estate
in the town of Rutland, we can only say
that it is exceedingly generous and liberal on
their part. 1t is as liberal and generous as
that other proposition, from the same
source, is strange, startling, almost incred-
ible-namely, that there are more farms
and quarries in the t01n of Rutland than
in the city of Burlington. That this extra
ordinary liberality may be seen at glance,
let us refer to the "new law" 1t is there
enacted that the listers of the several
" towns and cities in the state shall ap-
praise and set in the grand lists of their
" respective towns and cities all tie real es-
" tate situated in such towns or cities, which
" shall be owned or occupied by any rail-
- road corporation and the road
i" bed and track of any railway and all lana
'' taken and used for 1dilroad purposes,
shall be considered real estate for the
purposes of this act and all said real es-
tate shall be set in the list to such cor.
porations, owners. occupants, and pos
g SCISSORS, and shall be subject to the gen
eral provisions relating to the assessment
and taxation of real estate" except tina
it is provided that no rOdd bed or truck shall
be assessed at a valuation exceeding two
thousand dollars FOR erery mile of'the NAH

will be seen that all the real estate, includ
ing road bed and track, owned, occupied

as all other real estate, except that til,
valuation of the road bed and track shall
not exceed two thousand dollars per mile

other than the road bed and track, but it j

that real estate-which is defined to be

wholesale and retail dealers give hopeful
reports. Confidence has been inspired both
in buyers and wholesale houses, and the
discreet manner in which the country deal
ers have made their purchases has given
wholesale houses the belief that reckless
trading to great extent has been done
away with. The prospects of good ex-
port trade in produce have also helped to
improve other classes of business, and the
depressing influences which acted against
business during the early part of last fall
has been less strong. The preparations
for lively spring trade have been ample,
without excessive speculation, and many
of the dealers are looking to good solid
and healthy business. A large number of
buyers are in town, and appear to be max.

CASE AGAINST A. J. CRANE.

Messrs. Henry Ballard and L. j. Phelps
appeared az counsel for the respondent.
Mr.. Ballard said the case was of sufficient
importance to demand a full statement.
He had had no intimation from the district
attorney that the prosecution would ask for
or expect that the respondent should be
visited with the severe punishment which
had been suggested by the court. He then
presented in detail the history of the case,
and concluded with the reading of the fol-
lowing affidavit:
