Frenchtorn tMJ) Correspondence Phstadttpha 1tmfs'
Straight across the Delaware from mere
and back among the hills which run parallel
witt, the river for many miles lives family
concerning whom the strangest stories are
told. The father and sons are farmers, alld
all live in large, substantial house, few
yards from the road to Doylestown. Ihey
are all chronic laughers, having an aftlic-
tion of the muscles Of the mouth and throat
Which compels them to give vent to up
parent merrirnent at stated Intervals. Ihe
malady first appeared in the father about
ten years ago. He was usually very quiet
man, enjoying fun, but nlanifestlng lis en-
joyment without much noise. lie was seated
at the dinner table one day i'll the spring OF
the year, eating steadily aid not engaged In
any Of the conversation which the other 1nenl-
bers of the family were carrying on. Sud
denly, without any cause, he burst into
loud fit Of laughter so extremely different
from his accustomed laugh that all were at"
tracted by 1t at once Whenaskcd what was
the reason for his sudden outburst he made
no reply, but continued his merriment. Some
of the boys thought he had Mysteries and
pounded him on the back, but it did no good.
After few moments he made motions Tor
pencil and paper, and wrote that he was un-
able to control l,s risibles. and asked them
to send for doctor.
The rural physician came, but could give
no remedy that stopped the laughter. Peal
after peal of what sounded like the heartiest
kind Of fun came from him, and nottilng
would avail to prevent it. Inc doctor hha!ly
came to the conclusion TINT lie was the VIC
tim of a nervous attack, and, leaving n ner-
vine. departed. The father continued laugh
ing until about sundown. when he suddenly
stopped and fell on the floor, completely
Frustrated. He soon grew better, however,
much as usual. 10 signs OF the odd trouble
appearing, he went to bed, and was soon fast

meeting on Thursday, that one firm paid

gress to prevent legislation on the sugar
question, has created somewhat of stir
down town. The statement appears to
be generally credited, and reputa BILE gen.
tlemen are to be found who say they saw
the check. The drawee is described as
one of the leading sugar reflners in the
city, and it is stated the check was made
payable to 8 brother of one Of the leading
memb ers of the committee on ways and
means. The committee adopted q bill,
by voting Z to 6, which provided for
specific instead of dduGLorem duty, snd
establishing three grades only, but the
bill was never reported, despite the most
determined efforts on the part of mer-
chants. During all this time the accused
refner had apartments in Washington,
and gave sumptuous dinners daily to

Conkling must mean democrat, for the
