The Natchek Pass,

Mr.. Bcyls, of Yakima county, who is now
in Tacoma, describes the Natchsz pass As the
most direct of all the Cascade passes in its
course towards the western terminus of the
Northern Pacific railroad, being some forty
miles nearer than any other Of the practicable
mountain passes. 1t has an easy approach
from the east, and Though its backbone or
summit ia somewhat higher than the SnOqual-
ME pass, the amount of tunaeling required,
he now thinks will Lot be extensive, of the
summit comes up 70 sharp point and is not
very extensive. The pass is formed by the
confluence Of the Greenwater and Natchez riv-
ers. and abound, in the finest timber praiiies,
blilding stone, gypsum and coal mines. There
is no richer mountain country on the coast,
and the approaches on both sides are very IA
vorable

The Market Pig.

The style Of market pig has undergone a
great change with a few years. The large
400 or 500 pound hog is now seldom found,
says the Chicago Stock Journal. The over
grown hcg is no longer sought after, and pig
feeding mas been more carefully studied Of
late years. shrewd feeders have found that
the older the hog, the more its CARCASS costs
per pound. Ii is also found that the flesh Of
the large hog is co,rser and stronger and not
as sweet and fine favored, as a ten to twelve
pound pig. 1t is true, the older and over
fatted hog yields more lard, but this does
not carry profit with it, as lard often brings
no higher price than the side pork. The in
ducement, therefore, to grow these large
hogs no longer exists, and the 200 to 800
pound pig has displaced the 500 pound hog.

A PENNSYLVANIA cHAR1vARI.
ScaadaIous and Outrageous Conduct Of an
Unmarried Pair at LeespoTt.


Unmarried Pair at Leesport.
Lcesport Special.
This small village is greatly excited over the
guilty action of married woman named Kate
Kerschner and an old bachelor aged sixty years
named William p. ReeseE who resides at West
Leesport For some time past Reeser and Mrs.
kerSchner, who is thirty-Six years old, and the
mother Of FIVE children, have been living
together as man and wife. The husband of the
woman is a boatman, employed on the Schuylkili
canal, and as his occupation keeps him from
home q great deal, he was not aware that his
wife was untrue Some friends of his, however,
informed him of the fact At first he
could not believe it but after watching
his wifes movements was convinced He
stood the irving ordeal for some weeks, when,
urged by his friends, he went to Squire RAINS,
VINO served notice on Reeser forbidding him the
kersehner residence. Thing went from bad to
worse. until finally Mrs. Kersehner went to live
with Reeser. On Monday morning last she took
her clothing and other valuables to her new
home, and finally established herself as the head
OF the family. This greatly incensed all persons
who upheld family honor in LeespOrt. There
were consultations and it was finally determined
to give the couple serenade. This was done on
Monday night On Tuesday evening the visit
was repeated, and the excitement increased.
Finally, last night, large number of the young
men Of the town dressed themselves in fantastic
costumes, established themselves in front of the
Reeser residence and, for three hours kept up q
horrible rattle and clatter Mrs. Kersehner APP
peared at one of the windows, put up an ironing
board and kept on ironing all the evening say
ing that if the young men could stand it she
could. After the noise had been kept up for
about two hours, Reeser came out and protested
against the racket being kept up any longer, as
he wanted to sleep. A muscular arm shot from
the shoulder of a figure dressed as a woman,
and Reeser was knocked down. He picked him
self up out of the dust and fled into the house,
as he thought, for his life. The crowd marched
through the streets, after which two efigies,
representing the guilty pair, were hung TO .
pole. About midnight the crowd dispersed. Yes
terday morning Reeser went to Squire RAINS
for protection, but was told to go somewhere
else, large crowd surrounded him, yelling at
the top of their voices from the effects Of
which he fell down in the street in a fit, and was
left lying there. He recovered finally went to
Reading, and called upon the sheriff for aid in
case they attacked his home. Last night he was
not at home, and nothing could be done. A
large party attacked the house last night and
the widest excitement prevails. Large crowds
from the surrounding villages were present, en-
couraging the cause Emanuel Kirschner, hus7
band of the unfaithful woman, has applied for a
sdivorce

The President of a Cleveland Club Gives His
Reasons for Abandoning Free-Trade.

The President of Cleveland Club Gives His
Reasons for Abandoning Free-Trade.
James F. Morrison, president Of the Cleveland
and Hendricks Club, of Kokomo, has renowned
Democracy, on account of the freetrade issue,
and declared for Blaine and Logan Mr. Morri-
son has been lifelong Democrat. He was
prosecuting attorney for Allen county two terms,
having been elected by the Democracy by large
majorities. His letter is published in the Koko-
mo Gazette Tribune In it Mr.. Morrison says:
First find among the principles of the
Democratic party according to their late Chi
cage platform, a declaration that simply means
that the party is in favor Of tariff for revenue
only, which take to be a accommodation Of the
old principles of free -trade, and which insist
would be hurtful to the labor system of this
country. should much prefer the most strin-
gent protective laws than to see the theory of
free trade prevail in this country, and believe
that protective tariff would be much more
beneficial to the whole people.
Second. From my personal knowledge of
the Democratic party, believe the declaration
in their platform in regard to the question of
sumptuary laws is not only misleading but de
ceptive and designed to capture the German
votes as well as the honest temperance Demo
cratic votes of the country"

DUBLIN, Sept 14.-The Hon w. w. Curry
spoke here last night to quite a large audience,
1t was 8 o'clock before he arrived, but the
crowd waited patiently for him, and on his ar
rival he at once commenced speaking. Mr..
Curry is talented fluent and able speaker; he
speaks very rapidly, but correctly, and with a
power of expression which cannot help being
listened to with quite degree of interest by
even his opponents His speech was character
ICED by yet abounded with marked and cutting
thrusts at Democratic shortcomings. He began
by reading an extract from the Post,
a Democratic paper published at Washing
ton, in which a comment was given
directly after the nomination of Blaine and
Logan, and in which appeared a very high COM
pliment to the craftsmanship and fair record
of both these candidates, and in view of which
it now became the Democrats to nominate men
Of record, men of purity. Mr.. Curry, then,
from this standpoint reviewed the political life,
record, and course of both of these candidates,
which was a scathing rebuke to the assumption
OF declaration of this Democratic journal After
a short rehearsal Of the fitness, or rather unfit
ness, of the Democratic candidates for the
honors they are seeking, the speaker dwelt at
considerable length on the tariff and free trade
issues of the day. Mr.. Curry is we'll posted on
this subject, and gave fair and lucid exposi-
ton of the whole subject He went into an
elaborate discussion OF the tariff. He was
listened to with the best attention, and his ar
gument fell with weight upon his hearers. He
finished at late hour, discussing a few points
in the finances of the country.

Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal
LEBANON, Sept 13.-The demonstration to-
night in honor of Hon. John M. Butler was a
high compliment to that gentleman. He was
escorted from the Pleasant Grove House to the
place of meeting by the Blaine and Logan Club
of this city and large delegations from lions
vile and surrounding towns, the pro-
cession being headed by the cornet band
and the Veteran Drum Corps There was a
long line of torch bearers and the street specta-
Gle, which was quite imposing. was witnessed by
hundreds who thronged the streets in the line Of
march. The courthouse was densely packed
and scores of late-eomers were unable to secure
even standing room. Hon. r. w Harrison pre-
sided and the occasion was enlivened by stirring
campaign songs by the Blaine and Logan and
the Georgia Jubilee singers, the latter be-
ing co1ored organization embracing
a variety of talent Mr.. Butler has always been
a favorite with the Republicans of this commu-
nifty, and his logical and eloquent speech this
evening more than sustained his reputation.
The remarkable success of the meeting demon
strates that the Republicans of this county are
wide awake; and, cheered and rejuvenated by
the news from Maine, they have renewed the
fight with increasing vigor and confidently hope
for satisfactory results in November.

He Knew Grover.

A gentleman of official distinction, now citi-
zen of Greencastle, interviewed by reporter Of
the Times of that city, says he roomed in the
same building with Grover Cleveland in Buffalo
no longer ago than $780, Cleveland occupying
rooms on the third floor, and he on the fifth
floor. The gentleman says:
He was iovial good natured fellow, who
liked to tell story, but was not very good
hand at it, as he prolonged his tales until they
became tiresome. He was very fond of women
80 much so as to cause comment even there
among class of young men who were not over
careful about their moral status. I know moth
ing about the cases which have been published
about him, but know of several cases that were
not published. One beautiful woman, in par
ticular, whom he cared for was the object Of
much comment among the boys. She used to
visit his apartments regularly. / paid very
little attention to the matter myself, Cleveland
then being in no wise prominent man, and l
probably would have heard nothing of it had
not his lIaisons been so numerous as to attract
comment.
