How Cleveland viii Go Down to Fame.

Philadelphia Press.
Iowa farmers are at present suffering dreadful
pecuniary losses in a raging epidemic amongst
their swine. AS the cheerful grasshopper and
lively cricket die with the changing leaves and
disappear along the banks of the crystal Des

snouts of stricken hogs as they madly rush for
the water. Science thus far has not set TECH

scourge." If Mr.. Cleveland shall not endear him
self to and become benefactor of his fellow
men so that his name shall be remembered, his
name thus connected with swine will at least be
