Lincoln rs a Wrestler.


At the time the Lncolns settled at Goose
Nest Dan Needham was the champion wrestler
in Cumberland County. This County joins
Coles the one in which the Lincolns lived
NeeGham had often been told that lie would
find his match in Tom Lincon's boy Abe, but
he would boast that he could " fling him three
best out of four any day he lived" At last
they met. 1t was at honse-raising on the
Ambraw River "Raisin's" at that time
brought "neigh bors" from many miles around.
and am told that at this one they came from
as far south as Crawford County, more than 40
miles away. Thomas Lincoln came, and with
him his boy be. After the work of the day,
in which Abe and Dan matched handspikes
many times "rassle" was suggested. At
first Abe was unwilling to measure arms with
Dan, who was six feet four and as agile rs a
panther; but when Thomas Lincoln said
/" Abe, rassle 'iEi," Abe flung off his coat, and
the two stood face to face. Four times they
wrested, and each time Needham was thrown.
AT the close Of the fourth round the combat.
ants again stood face to face, Abe flushed but
smiling, Dan trembling with anger. However
one glance at the honest, good-natured face Of
his opponent cooled his rage aud, extending
his rough palm, he said, Well, I'll be -W
Ever after this they were warm friends. Need
ham survived Lincoln many years, and though
he was strong Democrat he had nothing but
good words for Abe Several of his boys still
live near the old homestead in Spring Point
Township, Cumberland County, III. One
daughter the wife of w. p. Davis, a brother of
the writer, resides on farm near Roseland,
Neb. Uncle Dan as we called him, now sleeps
in quiet churchyard hidden away in a deep
forest. A hraver heart never beat; and though
his life was humble, am sure that he did not
lack for welcome into the Eternal City.

Hop Cultivation in the Northwest.
[Harpers Magazine.


The cultivation Of hops is source of large
income to the State. The hop was first cuti-
waited in the Puyalup region in 1866, and
with such results that in 1890 the crop was
$4,000 bales. about half of which WAS grown
in the Puyallup fields That crop was marketed
for So. 100000. The Industry has spread into
the valleys of the White, Stuck, Snohomish,
and Skagit Rivers, all to the westward OF the
Cascades. at the feet of which rich valleys Of
alluvial soil Of great depth have been formed.
Since it is known that one hop yard in England
has been uninterruptedly cultivated for 300
years, there is no reason to look for a wearing
out of the rich soil Of West Washington. The
Washington hops are of high grade, and the
yield, averaging 1000 pounds to the acre, is
almost threefold that of the fields OF Eng
land. Germany, and New York State. The
hop-louse has now made its devastating
presence felt in western Washington, and
must be fought there as it has long been fought
elsewhere. On account of this pest the Pu-
yallup yield was reduced to SO per cent of what
had been expected last year, and since the
price was low. it was thought that the reve-
nue. from hops would not be above $I,000,000.
Hops have fetched more than 81 pound in
the past of late the prices have run from 20
cents TO 80 cents. To produce them costs less
than 10 cents pound in Washington.

are cruder than their fellows Of the Midlands.
The speech Of regular fenner" is a strange
jargon. / have listened to some of them talk
ing, and could hardly make out the converse
ton.
Yet these east folk have backbone. Oliver
Cromwell was born here and good share Of
his ''old iron sides were his from his neigh
boring Shires. The Pilgrim Fathers were
Lincolnshire folk, and we all know of what
stuff" they made. We generally look
upon the mountaineers, such as the Swiss and
Highland Scotch, as the typical lovers ofliberty.
Here, however, these level shires produced
rare equal in their love of liberty and equal in
their determ ination to achieve it.
Herring and oyster fisheries abound on the
coast. At intervals are scattered quaint fish
ing villages. There are no very large cities.
but good country towns, as they
called.
A great part of these lowands once belonged
to the Church of Rome. The land was closely
dotted with mouasteries, churches. aud cathc-
drals. Many are the current tales OF saints
and martyrs. The latter seem at one time to
have been very numerous. Hundreds have in
some towns been burned to death for tho sake
of their religion. One party followed the
other in supremacy i and each We'd with the
other in cruelty and magnitude of perseca-
ton. i'ot So
The present prosperity of tho 1owlands may,
in part, be due TO The monks. Whatever their
faults were, they generally made good farmers;

| possible returns FROM their possessions.
No doubt they grew very corrupt TO read

which found their Maya ito the monastic larder
| is truly surprising. Of course, they were
obliged to entertain aagfeat deal. Travellers of
| all degrees and pilgrdnis to the shrines Of the
| numerous saints always made it custom to
| dine with the monks Toroat least at their ex-
pense. OF course this was great drain on
| their revenues
Henry VIII had adj eye to business He

Richmond Township, Crawford County, Pa.
The history of the building is as remarkable as
the life Of its builder. 1t may be interesting
reading to the admirers Of the pluck of its
builder. 1t is as follows: The building was
erected in 1926 and Vas occupied as a tannery
by John Brown himself until 1891; then was
sold to one John BOtts. In about two years he
sold It to William Qliggle, who still used it as
a tanuery until about 1871, when it was sold by
the Sheriff. NJ. u. McClaughry became the
purchaser. He was Harrison Wing at that
time and until the Republican party was organ
lied. when he went to the Democrats, and
during the late rebellion one of the bitterest
Copperheads in the country.
About 1851 it was again sold to a Democrat.
In 1872 it Changed hands again, and was con-
yertcd from tannery to cheese factory, still
Democratic Later it was abandoned as a
cheese factory, and used as a feed and corn
mill the proprictors being still Democratic,
until 1890, when / purchased it and remodeled
into dwelling house, as you will readily see By
