The order of the Knights of Pythias Ukes 1U name from the beautiful story of Damen and Pythias, two celebrated Syracusans, whose nomes are always joined as the types of trueand neble friendships. Jus tus II. Rathliene, new of Baltimore, then a clerk In Washington, founded the first ledgo of the order In that city among gev eminent empleyes. This was toward the clese of the war. Its principles spread rapidly, until te-day Ihcre is hardly n city or hamlet in the Union where a ledgo of the order Is net te be found. Its member ship Is ever 300,000 and It has nearly -1,000 ledges. Its principles have spread te ether lands, and Knights or Pythias are te be found en the Islands of the sea and in many foreign countries. In this county there aie ledges of the order In Laiicastcr, Columbia, Marietta, Lllltr, Mount Jey, Ephrata, Whlte Herse, Paradise, RawllnvllIe nnd Fairfield. The headquarters of the efllcers Is at Stevens house. A WEEK'S TRANSACTION. Nearly Thrce Thousand Cn&cs of Tobacco Sold by Lecal Dealers. The past week was a busy ene for local packers. Nearly all of them disposed of goods and the nggrcgate sales feet up nearly 3,000 case. When all the packings hae been bampled, which will be by September 1st, an actlve market Is looked for. new run rrtei" leeks'. A Marietta correspondent riles the fol lowing as le the outlook for the tobacco crop In Raphe, Mount Jey, West Hcniji Hcniji field, East Denegal and Ceuey tewnships: The crop In EaU Denegal is geed, abeve the avorage; Ceney Is ditto. In West llcmpficld thore Is a great deal of peer tobacco, with some very geed lets. The same can be said of Mount Jey tow nship. The very ct season has In i mcasure been followed by blight in the shape of rust and fox, but with a few days of blight sunshine the growers hepe that this delect will be overcome. On the aveiuge, from present uppearances, it will be the best crop grew n for years. On the J. A. Brcnneman farm 1 noticed n crop of Havana that steed ftve and a half feet high; ihat is, It hung down that far from the hcafield en which It was hung, and en the Haldcmau farm adjoining I measured boiiie leaves of seed leaf that w cre 47 Inches long. Mr. Jehn Maun, of Maner, and Ames Bewman, of Mariettnuanagcr of the Dully estate, pronounced It the largest tobacco they had ever seen. Thore is but little blight in this roglen. What peer tobacco thore may be can be accounted for by peer soil and neglect in cultivation. Creps bordering en the Sus (juchauna as a general rule are very geed ; as'yeu go back into the country you find seme inferior crops. But it Is eaily yet and seme of the backward tobacco as It op ep pcars new may turn out te be the best.
