HOG -RIPENED WHISKEY.

Doylestown, Pa, Oct 10.-There are but few people who can be induced to believe that there ever was such a thing as hog -ripened whiskey," but among the older generation it would be no trouble at all to secure affida- wits that such a beverage was well known in this immediate vicinity. There was in the days gone by, in q village only four miles from here, a man who kept tavern that soon be- came famous through it's proprietor S unique inventions and ingenious con- trovances to attract attention to his hostelry. Then, as now, to succeed meant the necessity of being well ad- vertised In his effort to do something new Uncle Billy" as he was called, conceived an invention that was potent in making his tavern the most talked about one for miles around The re- suit. as known to the patrons of the inn, was some good whiskey, of some age, that had been continuously agita- ted while within the oaken casks within which the drinks were kept for "ripen- ing"
 What the curious ones discovered about the invention was this: When they went to see the ripening of the whiskey they found hogpen with a plank floor, so balanced as to swing like a big barn scale. There was an open side farthest from the feeding trough, and the sides were fenced.
 The way the thing operated was sim pie enough. The hogs were out in the yard nosing around. when they heard the splash of the feed as it was put in the trough. Naturally as the weight came first on the side farthest from the trough, that side of the floor tilted down under the swine's weight. When they all got over to the trough that side, in turn, went down. And so the plank floor was rocked back and forth every time a hog went in or out
 Connected with this swinging plat form was another one which received equivalent motion. of course, through the medium of long lever On this second platform were set the casks of whiskey which were to undergo the ri- pening process Of course every time the lower floor rocked so did the up- per likewise. and the whiskey was shaken around with every motion.
 Naturally, Uncle Billy's hogs were fatter than anybody else's, because they were fed so much oftener. Part of the ripening depended on feeding the hogs, so as to make them rush in through the open door and thus shake the platform

A BRITISH RAID IN SOUTH AFRI-


 Another small farm shows up in the moonlight half mile on. Blood must be drawn here or nowhere. There is light in the window. With infinite cau- ton it is surrounded, men walking on tiptoe with care that even one spur does not clink against the other, every man with his rife barrel pointed toward that dimly lighted window, and bending low so that his body may not be seen above it's sill At last all are in their places, a ring of excited. crouching men, with the tiny farmhouse silent and sleeping in their midst. An officer crawls forward, revolver in hand, and then stands erect close up to the door, another worms his way to the window and lies flat beneath 1t, staring upward, his head stiff1y thrown back. few men, previously told off, follow each with bayonet fixed. There is moment of intense silence; then, as startlingly as the report of a cannon, comes low call from the officer flattened against the door "Maak cop" cOpenH) There is a scuff1e inside the house. and a sharp ejaculation. The officer at the door steps back pace and points his revolver: he at the window half raises himself from the ground and, stretch ing one hand over the sill, levels his weapon at the dirty glass. The men be- hind them bring their bayonets to the charge, and stand glaring over the points of them. The door is flung open from the inside God in heaven! What's up!" Hands up!"

 MT. Platt was q veteran soldier hay ing enlisted in Bedding on February "A, 1864. in the Eighth regiment, c. V He was mustered into service tpe same day and sent to the front. On June 15, 1864, he was wounded at Petersburg, Va. January 1, 1885, he was promoted to a sergeantcy, and became sergeant ma jor. He was mustered out of service on December 12, 1865, having served nearly two years in the army.
 After the close of the war MT. Platt engaged in the tin and plumbing busi- ness in Westville, and some twenty years ago went to Ansonia to reside. entering into partnership with w. B. Blackman, being the company of the firm. His age has not been ascertained but it is thought to be in the vicinity of fifty-five years, possibly a little more He was a member of this firm until he went out of business, since which time he had not been able to engage at hard labor. For while he was in the life insurance business, but finally was obliged to relinquish even that.
 MT. Platt was married to Miss An tonette Austin of Derby, who survives her husband They had no children. He was a member of T. M. Redshaw post, G. A. R., and has filled all the of fees in the gift of the post. He was deeply attached to the work of the G. A. R., and was always ready when work was to be done. He was also mem bef of some of the other local orders in the city.
 Fellow citizens honored MT. Platt for on their recommendation he was ap- pointed deputy judge of the city court, receiving that position for the third time. His third term commenced in July. He had common sense, and his decisions were always considered good. For two years he was also justice of the peace, and in the civil cases heard before him there was no fault found with his decisions. He was just com pleting his fourth year as a member of the Ansonia board of health. having filled the office of inspector of the board. For the past year his health had been such that he had been able to do but little work, but he was so well liked that his associates were only too glad to assist him.
 It cannot be said at this writing when the interment will take place, but probably during the early portion of this week
