X DIED Iu Athena, Tuesday, June 2, 1896, Marvin Leon Hastings, seed 22 vears 5 months and 25 de.ys, of consumption1 Marvin wae born in Antgamia county, Wisconsin, December 7, 1873, and was the eldest son of Joseph and E. E Hastings. He was endowed with noble traits, and the exemplary life he led brought to him many warm friends, who are pained to sea the cycle of time gather him from their midst in the dawn of earlyj manhood. One sister preceled him to that "bourn fro n whence no traveller ever returns," and there re mains crnshed in grief and sorrow, father, mother, two sisters and one brother. About two years ago he contracted the first stages of that dread destroyer, con sumption, and op to the time of his death was a great enflfdrer, but m word of complaint ever parsed his lips. He bore the lori months of fiiifferiog with fortitude rarely displayed and died as ho had lived ; brave, tender and hopeful to the 1 Bet. The funeral services were held at the borne of hia mother in this city, Wednesday at 3 p. ra., and the remains were consigned to their last resting place in Weston cemotery. Many beautiful floral offerings were made by friends in this city and Weston. Not Abducted After All. -La Grande.

The repoit that George had a leg broken was untrue. John Arrison and John Stark, residents of Link ton mountain, were visitors at the Leader office. Mr. Arrison lately crossed the mountains on snow shoes to visit the LaQrande land office, and had a rough time of it. The meagre contents of his haversack served as his only diet during the trip, and he was compelled to buffet without shelter the mountain storms. On the return journey Mr. Arrison had a hair-raising experience. A cougar smelted the fresh meat in his haversack, and followed him. Soon he noticed the animal crouched alongside the road, with tail waving and eyes glittering, ready for a spring. The mountaineer gave a sud den shout, which seemed to frighten the animal, and it disappeared in the forest. Mr. Stark is a grandson of the famous revolutionary hero, John Stark of Ben nington, Vermont, who died in North Carolina at the age of 110 years. He ex pects as soon as possible to take part in another search for Woodwfrrd, the miss ing toll-gate keeper. Mr. Arrison save the enow is six feet deep a its greatest depth in the mountains, and a man could walk into the upper window of Wood wardjs house.

"The story is an old one about west ern railroad trains being stopped by grasshoppers during- a memorable in vasion of Kansas and other states by these insects," said a New York travel ing man to a New York Sun reporter; vand it was and is still looked upon in the east as a wild reach of the western imagination. I believe no. one had deeper doubt of it than myself. But I doubt nojonger, for I was on a train the other day right in our state of New York which was stopped by grasshop pers as effectually as the enginner with his airbrakes could have stopped it. : "The railroad was the Chautauqua Lake railroad and the train was on its way between May(ville and Jamestown. All that region has had a most de structive visitation of grasshoppers this year, crops, foliage and even hay, cut and housed, having beeri absolutely eaten up clean by the ravenous insects. This day the passengers on the train noticed that frequently it would grad ually slow up and come almost to a standstill, but after awhile regain somewhat of its regular speed. At last, though, after slowing up and the engine working in a way that showed that the engineer was making his greatest effort to overcome whatever tie obstacle was to the progress of the train, it came to a dead standstill. A ' trainman was hurrying through the car I was in and I asked him what was the matter. " "fcrasshoppe-rs.' said he. 'We're stalled again by grasshoppers.' "Nobody believed him, of course, but I got out of the car and it wasn't long before I found that he was in earnest. Grasshoppers had effectually stopped the train. The rails behind us as far as anyone could see were two glisten tag lines of grease. As far as anyone could see ahead the railroad tracks were hidden by. untold numbers of grasshoppers. Men had to be sent ahead to sweep or shovel or scrape the insects off the rails. By dint of much sand and steam the train was at last got under way, but for nearly two miles the advance guard of trainmen had to keep the train clear of grass hpppers immediately ahead of . the locomotive wheels before we had passed out of the tremendous swarm of insects, fat to bursting on the crops oj the Chautauqua region, and the twin could go its way without danger of f urther stalling. I learned that the trains on that road had been unable to make anything like schedule time for several days and that no trip had been made on any train in that time on which it had not been stopped more than ci'"" 1 "- "nln' of grass- A PinxiDEtrinA Chin&ftnn has thirtj gods.

An early tourist has brought down a curious story from the top of Ben Nevis. It ia thus told in a Scotch pa per: One afternoon last winter the as sistants in the observatory were some what startlod by a knock at the door a most unusual occurrence at that sea son Of the year. The visitor turned out to It a tramp from London. His clotaes were frozen stiff and his beard was a mass of ice. After having been warmed and fed he astonished the hospitable winterers on the Ben by in forming them that he had come up in search of work. When at the foot of the mountain some one had advised him with rather grim humor to try Ben Nevis observatory. Thus it was that he cftme to climb the four thousand and some hundred odd feet.

Frederic Hill relates in his autobiography that he and his broth ers were once interested in obtaining some medical appointment for a friend. A letter, or circular, had to be drawn up, and to be perfectly sure of having it in the best form the young men sought the good offices of a certain Dr. Blair, who was their friend and neigh bor, and a very exact scholar. He undertook the work with great good nature, but day after day the boys found the document "not quite ready." Time was precious, and finally the doc tor was. obliggd to confess that he had run against a difficulty. In one sentence he was absolutely unable to decide whether . he ought to use the word "which" or the word "that." And there the stuck, till the boys in. des peration took the work out of hia hands.

The jury, after being out a short time, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $4063.99. They allowed him (2000 for ties burned, $1888.99 for lumber, and $250 for fire wood, but allowed him nothing for the mill and other buildings. The plaintiff claimed damages to the amount of about $15,000. ' Mora Squirrels Dying. Reports are coming in from all parts of the country that the squirrels are dying of some disease resembling scrofula or tuberculosis, says the Davenport, Lincoln county, Wash., Times. The prolonged damp weather seems to have been very unhealthy for them. Many of them sit around stupid and drawn up, evidently sick. On being caught and examined, they are found to have enlarged glands about the throat and neck. Dr Knyken dall has examined some of them, and finds they have tubercles in the lungs and intestines. Several years ego the squirrels were .destroyed by the same kind of disease'.
