That's a commone express

fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM

rheumatism dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whateverth the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has

will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

it does this by commencing

THE destruction of tie valuable
county almshOuse barn with all of its
contents by an incendiary fire increases
tt { responsibility of the present board
OF poor directors to pause and consider
W. II before they invest any more moEey
in buildings on the present site of our
public institutions. Experience has
shown that they are exposed to the
special danger of fire at their present
location. The disadvantage of the
asylum being placed on the low ground
where it was originally erected has long
been manifest. The superiority of plac-
ing almshouses and hospitals at a dis
tance from county towns has been satis-
factorily demonstrated in many sec.
tiOns Of the state. The value of
the ground now occupied for the
poorhOuse buildings and farm is
far in excess of what would answer
their purpose equally as well. We are
satisfied that only the invest
ment of $125,OOO in the new aims
house stands in the way of its removal
at this Opportune time. We are not sat.
istied that even this pecuniary consider
alton cannot he overcome. Certainly
the removal Of the public institutions
from sites SO favorable for suburban de-
veiOpment and Improvement would in
crease the value of all the surrounding
property by far more than this sum. -

The Tri-state Gransers' picnic at Will
iams' Grove. Cumberland county began on
Monday. This affair, projected soma
years ago by the Grangers, though still
preserving both interest aud value to ag-
riculturists, is now mainly important be-
cause of the outside enterprise that it al
lures. This year the principal features
will be the political aspect of the gather
ing. All of the candidates for governor
aud lieutenant governor have been invit-
ed, and it is confidently asserted that Gen.
Beaver will be in attendance most of the
time. Mr.. Hensel will deliver an address
on tho subject of agriculture, and Com
missioner Loring will lend his presence,
as his predecessor, LIE Due, did some years
ago. 1t is expected that the exhibit of
agricultural products and implements will
be the finest ever made in the state.

tendance.
Yesterday was tho first day of the an
nual picnic of the Cannstatter VOlkesfest.
1t was held at Tells Hahn. and the crowd
was the largest that has been seeu there
for years. Omnibuses and cabs were run
ming all day from the city and thousands
of people were carried to the ground. Tho
large fruit pyramid which was set up on
the ground near the pleasure walk was
very pretty. 1t was covered with fruit Of
every kind and was feature of the at
fractions. At o'clock in the afternoon
exercises opened with an address of wei
come by Henry Schmidt. The procession
was then formed and marched to the fruit
pyramid where . marriage ceremony was
performed. After the wedding there was
a baptism, and the child was called Frank
A. Reiker. After the ceremonies the line
was again formed and the people marched
to the platform where the dancing began
to tie music Of TaylOr's orchestra. The
picnic was kept up until a late hour and it
was one of the most successful of the sea-
son. During the day excellent music was
furnished by Selack's Buckalew band Of
York.
AS will be seen by an advertisement else
where the second day of the Cannstattcr
has been postponed until tomorrow.
Among the amusements will be sheep and
sack races.

SULLIVAN At A PICNIC.

What Drew the Crowd at the Firemen's .
Parade at POttsville.
Tie tiremen's parade in Pottsville was
one Of the largest seen there for some
time. The entire fro department of the
city, including u number Of visiting fire
men from Reading, Mahanoy City
and other towns turned out III
full force. After making au extended
circuit Of the town they proceeded to
agricultural park, where grand picnic
was held under the auspices Of the Pho.
nix fire company. The principal attrac-
tioI was the presence of John l.. Sullivan,
the pugilist, and William Madden, his
trainer. The morning trains brought hun
dreds Of people to town, many of whom
loitered around the depot to see the
champion on his arrival. AS the
one o'clock train steamed into the
depot there were over one thousand
people assembled. Sullivan and Madden
alighted and quickly stepped into closed
cab and were rapidly driven to the Mer-
chants hotel, which was beseiged by the
immense crowd that followed. At 2
o'clock they wero driven to tho park,
where they were the drawing cards. At
6 Sullivan aud Madden stepped on the
platform, surrounded by three or four
thousand people. They shook hands and
fought three rounds.
Mr.. Billy Madden, having observed that
many challengers have invited Sullivan to
hostile encounters since Sullivan entered
into contract with Ii. J. Sargent's to
box only in a friendly way, has obtained
Mr.. Sargcant's consent and offers to match
Sullivan against anybody in the world for
not less than $2,50O, 81, 600 preferred, in
each town where articles are signed.

We are reliably informed that several
months ago the poor directors had water
pipes conveyed " the very spot where
the recent destructive fire in the insane
asylum broke out and that only some
neglect or delay by the contractor or di-
rectors TO provide the proper valves pre-
vented the water from being turned on
weeks before the late fire, aud had this
source of supply been in operation the
fire might have been checked. If this
report is true there seems to bc added
reason why the present poor direction
should not be entrusted with the large
responsibility of rebuilding on the ruins
of the lost public property.

The U. s. Tobacco Journal is loudly
yelling protection to American tobacco
and wants to have the duty Oh Snmatra
tobacco raised from 3j cents to 81 per
pound. The importation OF Sumrata to-
bacco is rapidly increasing. and the Journal
says it I" benefits nobody but \ wealthy
Dutch syndicate. Mr.. Hammerstein,
the editor Of the Journal, ventilated his
views at great length before the tariff
commission the other day, and the current
Issue of the Journal is chOck full of the
interview. - @ Ef
Some of his contemporaries have been
freely criticising him. The World says !:
The Sumatra tobacco, the importation
Of which he resents, constitutes a fraction
almost inflnitesimal of the tobacco con-
Dsumed in this country, is used for pur-
poses which no, American tobacco will
answer, and bears high duty. If it were
taxed more highly, the American tobacco
grower would gain nothing. The only ro-
suits would be to increase the revenue,
which it is desirable to diminish, and to
enhance tho price Of fashionable" ci-
gars. Moreover Mr. Hammcrs:ein admit
ted that tho tobacco trade was by no
means agreed in desiring the increase and
he showed no reason whatever why the
increase should be made, nor even that
anybody was interested iu making it,

Eds. INTELLIGENCER: Having read an
article in your paper written by Mr.. Nor
risOn, on the cultivation OF tobacco in this
county, drove through the TuscarOra
valley to examine the growing crops, and
find that Morrison has not over estimated
it in any particular. have seen great
many of the best crops grown in Lancas-
ter county, and know whereof Ispeak
when say that Il portion Of the crop here
now is as good as can be grown anywhere.
On the farm of Colonel w. Ross
Hartshorn, at Academia, there are eight
acres, the pride of the valley, cultivated
by MorrisOn's pioneer, George Waller. 1t
is of the variety known in Lancaster Us
the Henderson seed, and is of the largest
and the finest. MIR. Waller has had years
of experience in your county aud perfectly
understands tho cultivation Of tobacco in
all its branches, from planting the seed to
casing tho leaf-MOrrisOn himself is just
now housing the product Of six acres Of
Mr.. GrOninger that would please the eyes
of your merchants who are looking up
fancy lots. He has six acres ON another
farm that is full average crop. There
are numerous other fields in this valley,
dotted with tho weed, nearly all Of which
arc of good growth. There is also consid-
cradle of tho 'S1 yet for sale of good quail
ity, but not so large as your Lancaster
county tobacco. think it would be worth
while for some Of your large dealers to
come out here and gather up the crop and
make An object for farmers to cultivate it
more extensively. BUONO.
