Burlington Patriot: We learn that Mr.

One or two others near where his hogs
were yarded, along the river, have lost
quite a number. True policy dictates
that not single hog should be shipped
in here outside the county. Whenever
this rule has been violated, farmers have
been the sufferers. There is no health.
Ter nor better breed of hogs than can be
found here at home, and dealer ought
to think twice before catching at the bait
of cheap hogs from another State simply
because they are cheap. 1t is this class
of hogs that have sown all the germs OF
hog cholera ever developed here, and
they cannot be too careful. All such
hogs should be let alone.

An Ancient Cemetery.

Considerable excitement and curiosity
is existing in our community, says a
Ganeyville (Ky.) telegram to the Courier
Journal, over the recent discovery of an
extensive burying ground, heretofore un-
known, in the forks of Caney Creek,
about one and half miles from town.
The field where the unknown lie buried
has been in cultivation for over fifty
years, and VIM. Bratcher, the oldest citi-
zen in our community { 50 years of age },
and who was born and reared within two
miles of the place, never heard of any one
having been buried there. The dead seem
to have been buried without any coffin or
case, between large fiat rocks set up edge
wise and covered over with the same.
The bones of some of them show them to
have been of very large stature. A large
quantity of fire Goals and pottery made of
clay, some of which is in almost perfect
state of preservation. has been found
among the graves. Who these people
were and to what race they belonged is,
and perhaps will ever remain, a mystery.

HOW SHE KEPT HIM AT HOME
A Wife Uses CrOtOn Oil to Tame Her
Club Loving Husband.

Wife Uses CrOtOn Oil to Tame Her
Club-Loving Husband.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.-Alexander
Harvey, late Justice of the Peace OF
Gloucester City, N. j., is the defendant
in an action brought by bis wife for ali
mOny on account of alleged desertion.
Mr.. Harvey is feet in height, weighs
200 pounds, is handsome, of fine physique,
and a sort of gigantic Apollo. His wife
is quite small. The case will be ulti-
mately heard by the Vice Chancellor of
New Jersey. The defense offered to the
wite's change is quite novel, and is with
out precedent in divorce proc eedIngs.
The defendant alleges that he left his
wife tor justiiable cause, claiming that
for period of one year she kept him in
state OF constant physical pain by the ap-
plcatiOn of crotOn oil to his undergar-
ments, and that when this oil came IN
contact with his skin and was subjected
to friction it acted as torture, especially
when walking. When in a state of re-
pose his misery was not SO keen.
Mr.. Harvey was club man
and was frequently out, as his wife al
leges, in the evening. After the appIica-
tion of the crotOn oil he was always home
at night, and was peculiarly submissive
husband. But for the fact, as he alleges
that his wife revealed the secret of his
torture to a number of married ladies
whose husbands were also members of
clubs, the cause. Of his physical suffer-
ings would probably have never been as
certained. He had consulted physician
after physician, and they were not only
unable to temporarily relieve him, but
wholly at sea as to the cause of the erup-
tiOns which showed themselves on his
body, Testimony was taken this waelz
before Alfred Hugg, late City Solicitor of
Camden and Master in Chancery. and the
testimony of the druggist who sold Mrs.
Harvey Vie crOton oil, and of the physi-
clan who treated Mr.. Harvey, bad been
recorded. A number of lady visitors will
be called upon, the defendant declares, to
testify as to Mrs. Harvey's admissions as
to having applied the oil, and that she did
it to keep him from leaving the house.

TROUBLOUs TIMES IN RUSSIA
Nihiiists Accused of Stealing Money and
Hatching New Plots.

Matching New Plots.
A cablegram of Jan. IS says: The police
of Russia have received some startling
information about the dOings and designs
of the Nihilsts. 1t is said that the Nihi-
lists are now engaged in a conspiracy to
murder certain officials who have incurred
the hatred of the order by means of poison
In the effort to thwart the conspiracy a
circular has been sent to all the principal
officials in the empire warning them
against the employment of new servants
who are not strongly VOuched for, and
cautiOning them against the acceptance
of food or drink from anyone not known
to be trusty.
Ever since last September numerous de-
falcatIOns and embeZZlements by minor
officials connected with the treasures of
Russian cities have come to light. The
thieves have invariably proved to have
been connected with the Nihilist Organi-
zatiOn and little or none of the stolen
money has been recovered. 1t is feared
that the Nihllists have now obtained suf-
ficient funds to organize a we'll planned
attempt upon the life of the Car.

the sovereign, and the body of the sentinel
found by the side of the railway just
where the train was expected to leave the
track furnished ample proof of the ma
lignity of the assassins. That narrow
escape has considerably shaken the Cars
nerves. He is now virtually a hermit in
his gorgeous winter palace on the Neva
Perspective, and he looks forward with
superstitious dread to March l, which
will be the fourth anniversary of the
murder of his father.

other things, that the lives of such women as
George Eliot, Madame Roland and Harriet

were Miss Susan b. Anthony

conclusion of the service these women walked
to the platform and upbraided DR.. Patten for
his utterances. Miss Anthony said to him

Fatal Results of an Operation for Group
Upon a Buffalo Child.
BUFFALO, Jan. pa fatal surgical
operation is reported in this city. The
victim was the 7-year-old son of the Rev.
Theodore Sleek, pastor of St. Andreas
German Lutheran Church, and the physi-
clan a well-knOw practitioner, DR.. Heben-
STREET. The child was dangerously sick
with membraneOus Group, and the doctor
strongly advocated trachPOtOmy at once.
Little dreaming that any serious conse-
quences would ensue, the parents at last
yielded to his request. He came during
the evening, and found the child sitting
up and to all appearances considerably
better. Notwithstanding this the doctor
insisted that the operation should be per-
formed. He had his way, and, having
chlOrOtOrmed the child, laid it down upon
the table.
After half an hours work he reached
the windpipe, and taking up his shears
cut 1t, as he supposed. Suddenly the
blood sRurted out over the table, soaking
the cloth and making the doctors hands
crimson. The child by this time had re-
covered from the chlorOform and tried to
SIT up. His life-blOOd was flowing steadily
away and in a few minutes he dropped
his hands and died. When the doctor
saw what the result was he cried out
''My God if only / hadn't done it, The
parents are heart-brOken.

FINERTY's JUSTIFICATION.
England's Misrule Sufficient Excuse if
Irishmen Did the Work.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-''We have not posi-

men," said Representative FInerty to the

the dynamite explosion at London Yesterday.
"of course there are allegations but al
legations do not convict. Should, however,
this thing have been done by Irishmen. it is
simply the result of the brutal treatment,
which amounts to an education that they
have received at the hands of the British
Government in their cO1ntry. The IRISH peo-
pie for several ages have been prosecuted in
such manner as Is certain to produce pOllti-
cal insanity. Cruel and harsh treat
ment of an individual by some superior
or by some member of his family will produce
insanity, and whiie labOring under unnatural
excitement he Will do things which he would

Of Irish people who have particularly suffered
from British rule are apt to make their re
sentiment felt IN manner that persons who

"Your position then, Mr.. Finerty is that if
this work Is due to Irishmen, it has been
provoked by sufficient cause"
