was borne to the grave without bios

direction of Lady Lytton, who said that
her husband had requested that not SC

bier. "What, in heavens name, have

rhe Spruce Gum Season Is on.

The spruce gum season is on in Maine
and business is booming. One firm re-
ceived twenty-four barrels of about 211s
tons of gum in one day, and it will have
1876 barrels or $4,000 pounds before the
close of the season. The first grade of
gum is clean and clear and ready for
chewing. It sells at wholesale at sixty
cents to one dollar pound.
The dark colored gum, mixed with
bark and pitch, is worth from six to
eighteen cents pound, and is purchased
by refiners, who boil it, skim off the
dirt, add some other things and produce
many varieties Of spruce gum.-Maine

A strange story.

A strange story comes from a neigh
borhood about ten miles southeast of
here.
Oct. "a, 1890, Alex Yohe, an aged
farmer, committed suicide. Yohe's
mind had been unbalanced for some
time, and he imagined that the discov-
cry of natural gas would prove the ruin
alton of the world. He was opposed to
any search for the new fuel, and often
pleaded with his neighbors to leave it
alone. He also imagined that he was a
ruined man, although he owned good
farm and was in a prosperous condition.
He thought his family had been doomed
to starvation, and he resolved to take
his life, thus terminating his misery.
Recently an Elwood company began
drilling for gas on the Starkey farm and
the work had proceeded nearly to COM
pletion. They were rushing the work
and day and night force of hands were
employed. The night force, however, is
no longer at work and the following is
the cause: A few nights since, while the
men were at work, they were startled
by slight noise near the derrick, and
on looking around they beheld the form
of old man Yohe walking from the en-
gine to the derrick. One man approached
him and the form suddenly vanished,
only to reaper in few moments.
This sort of thing was kept up for sew
eral nights, the old man making his ap-
pearance at the same spot each night.
The men claimed the place was haunted
and they refused to work any more after
night.-Tipton Cor. Indianapolis Senti-
