A dispatch from Waterville, N. Y. of

mop harvest this season are not eucour-
aging. 1t Is believed, In spite of the
fact that there is an increased acreage
In every country, that at least nue third
less hops will be picked this fall than
thaYe were last fall. The weather has
been unfavorable all summer. Many
vines were ser lously injured by the
hard frosts early In the season. The
cold, wet weather Of July retarded
growth still further. Vines did net

they should have done to insure . good

Hops at 2b cents q pound are,
therefore, a profitable crop, and at 40
cents are bonanza, paying a profit Of
about 200 per cent. A month ago
growers were refusing to contract their
crops at 80 cents, The market is now
very active at 90 cents. During the
great boom Of 1882 only a few farmers
took advantage Of the food tide and
sold at the great price of Sl.2O Thous-
ands of pounds were held in expectation
that the market would reach 81. 80 and
even 81. Many of these hops were
sold months afterward at 25 cents a

RICHMOND, Ind, August, 17.--lsaac
X. Purnell, OF this city, witnessed the
marriage Of James G. Blaine in the
little town OF Mallorsburg, the county
seat of Bourbon County. Ky. He says
that If there was ever q breath of q
ruinor at the time In any way discredit-
able to Mr.. Blaine or his wife, he would
have certainly heard il, so sweet NOR.
sci would 1t have been for village gos.
sip.
Mr.. Purnell will be 60 years of age
next November, and says he was born
in Mallorsburg, and continued to live
there until he came to this county nine
ears ago. One OF the Stanwood sisters
married "a merchant named William
McKim, and the other married Mr..
Blaine in the parlor of the seminary,
which was on the opposite side of the
block in which Purnell's parents resid-
ed. Like most of the other villagers,
he was present to witness the ceremon
and the departure of the party in hacks
for Paris, Ky, or Cynthiana, where
they took the cars for their wedding
tour.
There was nothing hasty or sub rosa
about the marriage, nor did he ever
hear any remarkable circumstance con.
nected with the courtship, hence he has
not the slightest hesitancy in branding
the charges of the Indianapolis Sentinel
as an atrocious SANDER. Mr.. Purnell',
son said that his mothers recollection
Of the marriage was just as distinct al
that of his father, and was in perfect
accord with 1t al to the material points
