ACat Causes Calamity.

On Saturday last, about noon, the
barn and sheds at Horace Crockett's
ranch on Spring creek were destroyed by
fire. Mr. Crockett's little son and his
cousin were playing around the barn
and chased q cat under the manger.
They had an old pistol and after pro-
curing parlor match, it is supposed
they snapped it off with the pistol to
scare the cat out, and q spark dropping
into the hay thus set it onfire. Theodore
Crockett, who was at the house, saw
the boys having matches and told them
they had better leave them alone or
they would set something on fire. but to
make sure, he thought he had better
hide them before he went to work. He
was just in the act Of doing so when
the boys came and told him the barn
was on fire. He hurried to the barn to
get out the horses, of which there were
four. His brothers Horace and James
were at Plumer Davis place, and seeing
the smoke came over as soon as possl-
BILE. Among the horses in the burning
building was a three year-old colt which
belonged to James and which hehad just
worked that forenoon for the first time.
He weighed over 100 and was valued
at $3.50. Theodore Crockett first went
to this animal, but it was tied with
new rope which was stiff and drawn
very tight and as they were all fright
ened and crowdlng ne saw ne could MOI
save him 80 he got out the others

Died at the Age of ll3.
GREW OUT AFTER SHE LOST
HER SNOWY LOCKS.

Mrs. Eva b. Hart, of Cicero Centre,
N. Y, who died recently, turns out to
have been the Oldest living person, as
well as the most remarkable person in
the United States at the time of her
decease. Her age Ql3), verified by
the best authority, shows her to have
been born the year after the Declara.
ton of Independence WAS signed. Her
life was strangely checkered, and in
her early days she had several narrow
escapes from Indian massacres in the
Mohawk valley. Until within two
years of her death she was a very hard
working woman, doing her own cook
ing, baking, washing and ironing. In
her old age her hair turned snowy
white and began to fall out, but few
years ago her hair was noticed to be
coming out again, and, instead of
being gray or white, was jet Ulack.
1t was the boast OF the old lady that
she was never sick day in her life,
nor took drop of doctors medicine
Ever since the children can remember
Mrs. Hart has smoked her pipe. The
absence of the doctors and the pres
ence of her pipe is what she has found
to be the elixir of life. At the time of
her death she had six living children,
twenty five living grand children,
twenty.one living great-grand-children,
aud one great-great-grandchild, who
is Henry Edgar Roe, jr., the thirteen
months son of Mr.. and Mrs Henry
Roe, of Syracuse.

Farmers Out For Pattison.
AN ADDRESS FROM THE SECRETARY OF
THEIR STATE LEAGUE.

The first steps are being taken to or
ganize the farmers of Pennsylvania for
Pattison. Hon Julius lie MoyBe, of
Washington, Pa, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Farmers League, on
Monday sent out an address to farmers
in which he says:
"All other industries are controlled
and their welfare is protected by orga
nizatlon, by the concentration of the
influence of all interested for their
specific objects. The great success
that has been gained by trusts, syndi-
Gates, corporations and stock companies
not only proves the great power of or
ganized effort, but also points the way
for farmers to meet successfully the
depressed condition in their own bust
ness. Oyerburdened with an unjust
proportion of taxes, our products near
ly all depressed in value by oompeti-
ton with unlawful counteTfeits and
adulterations--there is no help for us
but to help ourselves, to organize and
as one man demand that these wrongs
shall be righted; to demand that the
burdens of the government shall be
borne alike by all classes of property.
"We have the power through our
votes. Let us concentrate them and
succeed. If the welfare of our family
and yourself is what you most desire;
il the credit aud honor OF your chosen
calling is worth the effort, you will
give us your influence and active sup
port"
The Farmers League is an organic
alton of long standing, and has many
influential members; but it has never
taken hand in state campaigns. This
year the organization will be strength
ened in every county, and its influence
given to Pattison.
