From the Port Jervs Gazette.
Lamp-lighter David Morse, of this town,
repeated to reporter the other day 3 very
queer story told him by his father fifty years
ago. Living in the town of Warwick to-
wards the close Of the eighteenth century
was an eccentric individual named Aaron
Leeper, who had wonderful faculty for ac-
cumulating money. At that time Orange
county, and especially the rural districts, was
but sparsely settled and everybody for miles
around knew each others business and
were on terms of familiarity. One day the
neighbors Of Leeper were surprised to see
him erecting large, low building, covering
upwards of an acre of land, but for what OBJ
iect he intended the building he refused TO
divulge. After it was completed he began
to purchase all the cats in the country. and
for weeks be travelled for miles in every di-
rection, bringing home wagon-lOad after
wagon-load Of male and female cats. He
paid high price for the cats and always in
sisted on buying ali that a customer had,
otherwise be would not purchase at all. Fl
nally be had collected In his corral upwards
of eight hundred cats and the nightly con-
certs which they held could be heard for
long distance ia every direction, and the
fame Of Lceper az cat farmer became
known throughout the entire section.
Everybody supposed that It was only an
other OF Leeper's ecceut-icities and never
dreamed that he was making grand ''cor-
ner on CATS for his Owl aggrandizement and
they therefore cbeerfully parted with their
house pets and pocketed the liberal sum
which ne paid for them. They found out
different before the end Of the year. Rats
and mice increased ia vast numbers and
their ravages on granaries, cellars and cup
boards were so great that the rodents became
really pestileuce throughout the land. Il
vas then that everybody turned 70 Leeper for
relief. and the demand for ratters aud
mOusers vas so urgent that he was able n
place fancy figures on his stock (Which by
that time had been augmented by many sd-
di;sons in the feline ciEclej and be disposed
OF the entire lot at private sale and made
more clear money than had ever before been
made in this section on q single farm After
this enterprise people did no; think Leeper
so very eccentric after all.

A rise of seven feet at that point is reported
in less than two hours during. the afterr
noon, the stage of water now being
higher than at any other time
this season. The Des Moines river
is four feet above low water mark, a rise of
one foot in the last twenty-four hours. I'm
less the gorge at the mouth of the river breaks

reported from above will cause further

started just below this city during the
day, but it still remains firm here. The

to-day by the ice piling up on their track,
while the Rock Island road has a bridge
washed out. The town of Alexandria is still

II was the last day of a celebrated trial in
Richmond, and crowds focked TO hear the
decision which might condemn the heiress of
one OF the proudest families TO dark, dreary,
lifelong Imprisonment, perhaps to death.
Few dared to hope that her innocence would
be proved, for circum stantial evidence OF the
strongest character pointed to Lucy Berkeley
as the murderess Of her Inflated companion.
One alone stood by her, and from the first
testified his belief in her innocence. 1t was
the lover whom she had believed false and
faithless. Great was her JOY in her trouble
TO hear from Leonard that he never loved
any one but her, and that his attentions to
Clara arose from the fact that be and she
were long separated cousins and joint heirs
to large property, o. which they had been
deprived by fraud. His long conversations
with her were on this subject, and he thought
it safest to keep their discovery a secret un-
I'll they could both proceed against the uncle
who had been robbing them with some chance
of success.
But neither the wealth nor the influence
Lucy's friends brought to bear in her favor
could turn public sentiment in her favor.
Her jealousy of Clara had been known. She
had used harsh and angry words to the young
girl and these had been overheard. She was
the only person who could have any interest
in Clara's death; and dagger belonging to
her had been the instrument Of the crime.
Then no ore could tell where Miss Berkeley
had spent the previous night. She had not
taken her usual place in the household, and
she had not been on her bed that night, az 1t
was proved TO have been untouched in the
morning.
Strangely enough, too, the idiot had disap
peared, and not the smallest clue To his
whereabouts could be obtained.
Leonard Dacre searched up and down the
state for him. because he conceived the
strange theory that it was this mishapen, I'M
happy being who was the real murderer. He
had put forth this theory, but few would even
listen patiently TO IT. By the majority it was
looked upon as frivolous nonsense: and
many thought Miss Berkley had put the lad
out Of the way TO create suspicion regarding
him.
just before the case was given TO the jury,
however, and while everything pointed 10
the guilt Of the prisoner at the bar, Leonard
Dacre's appearance at the door of the court
room, dragging after him the idiot, created a
thrill among the eager spectators. A buzz
Of excitement agitated every one, including
the anxious, white-haired judge and the
members Of the jury.
The dwarf looked around him, half-fright-
ened yet defiant When his eye rested on
the dark-robed figure Of his mistress in the
dock he uttered low whine Of delight. and,
dragging himself from the grasp Of his cap
tor, he darted toward Miss Berkeley and
croucbed al her feet.
