The Argus Lie Exposed /—The editor of the Argus has Interviewed on*; of the Commissioners,, and gives as a re of that interview, that I charged one hundred and fifty dollars for printing the November proclamation, and that Jthe Commissioners paid me only eighty, there by saving the county the amount of seven ty dollars. I don’t believe any one of the Commissioners ever authorized that state ment to substantiate thecharge that I in tended to fleece the county out of forty or fifty dollars, not due me, for work per formed. Of course the editor of the Ar guv had some facts from which to con struct his gross libel, and to show him up as well as to. vindicate myself, I will state them, not wrested and twisted out of their natural connection, but as they occurred, without any desire of concealing any thing, so that the people can judge who has lied in this matter. Sheriff Grtebing ordered the printing of the November nreclamation in The Radical, 'and band id it in so- as to have four publications previous to the election. The Sheriff in ! rmed me and the Commissioners that be had given said proclamation only to Tip: Radical and Argus , and ordered the Commissioners to pay.only the two above Djtntioned papers for the printing of the same. Accordingly I made out my bill ! ir sixty squares, at $2.50 per fqaare, for (our weeks’ insertion, and presented it the Commissioners. One dollar-for the first insertion, and fifty cents for each subsequent one, is the regular price lor such work, and in making out the bill thus, I only asked for wbat was justly due according,lo regular rates. One of the Commissioners, however, who had been to d by the editor of the Argun that his bill for the same was only two dollars per square, for sixty squares,making one hun dred and twenty dodars/and that it was so charged it on his book, asked why I charged more than the Argus f The bu siness being new to me, I replied that I did not know, but would go and see the editor of the Argus and ascertain the rea son of the difference. did so, and was in formed that his charge was subject to re vision, that it was made under the im pression that the Sheriff was limited by law to three insertions, but requested me C) kfqk into the matter, and ascertain wothe provisions of the law, in regard ' j r, were, and if.l found it to provide for ioar insertions insipid of three, he would (Carge |2.50 per square also. I went im mediately to Mr.' Ledlie, who was famil iar with the Sheriff’s business, and asked i; no to give me the law on the subject. '_)i examination he said that the law pro v fed for three publications. I did not r-p'.rt to the editor -of the Argus , but wen: immediately to the Commissioners i:i c ’old them what Mr. Ledlie had said, hrA asked permission to withdrew the bill, io order to make U out for three weeks io.Ctiid of four, saying that I did not want them to pay me more than was law taand customary. The bill was so cor seted, and I received and receipted for $l2O, both the Commissioners and mysulf being entirely satisfied with the settle rnent. Subsequently, however, the editor of the Beaver County Press , who had also printed the proclamation, presented his b 11 to the Commissioners, and the ques tion was raised whether the Sheriff bad ordered him to print the same. Mr. Daugherty and John Graebing, Jr., were m the opinion that the Sheriff did so or der it, and finally the disputed question wag settled against the Sheriff’s judg ment, and the editor of the Press was al lowed to share equally with The Radi al and Argus. This decision no donbt wag just, and perfectly agreeable to my he I* The amount which the Commis in'nere were entitled In pay, as I discov ered, was ||24o, which, according to the -rst understanding, was to be divided be tween Tiie Radical and Argus, but ac c rding to the final adjustnment was di v ded between the three papers mention ed, giving to each sBo—s4o less than the ,f -cular rates.

Editor Radical— Dear Sir; I was re viewing the town and business of Van port, Beaver county, and truly I find it no insignificant place. At the lower end of the town, and near the narrows, is the large and conspicuous lime kiln, erected by H-Sebring, and is now ready to be put in blast. Close by Mfs-rs. Mitchel see from whence it came- and the cause of U. and wastc discover a- man In bed, covered with blood, and' holding' in bis lifeless hahd a discharged Smith '& Wesson pistol. On his persoir fqs found a letter in an envelope directed to Sharer, which read as follows ; Rochester, February 20,1873. Louisa LacockjNcw Brighton—l will be buried at two o’clock to-day 1 : 1 Other- letters showing that deceased was embarrassed financially were also found. ■■ The Coroner held an Inquest on the re , mains, and a verdict of death-by suicide was rendered. On Wednesday the re mains were, removed to- New r Brighton for interment. Deceased leaves a wife and several children. Mr. Buckley was favorably known In this community, and it will be recollected was Colonel of the Wide-a-wakes during, last Fall’s campaign. Re was a grtod sol dier in the late war, a staunch Republi can, and, so far as W£ know, has always enjoyed the respect of the community. His sudden -self-destruction has,shocked bis friends and anqijaintanceb -who are unable to give any reason for such an un locked for event. From the ndte which is dated February 20th, it appears that he had been contemplating the act for some days. We saw him and spoke with him in Rochester on Saturday, and did not discover, either in bis manner or spleecb* anything unusual to indicate such a des perate resolution as was even then being revolved in bis’mind. We were surprised and grieved to bear of his sad end. A New Spring S’tock at R. Steinfiele’e. Rev, J, L. Fulton , of Mill Creek church, Greene township, has received a call.to the Broadway Street, Baltimore, Presbyterian church. He came from lowa to Mill Creek in 1869, where he has faithfully-and very tfficienlly labored un til the present, although his health has been poor most of the lime. He infused new vigor into the congregation, gave all his lime to the church, and received for his services a liberal support. Under his lead the congregation lore down the old church building, and erected a fine struc ture, in modern style, in its place. We have not learned whether or not Mr. Fultou has decided to accept the call to- Baltimore, but if so, his Joss will be se- verely felt at MilluCreek, and all wish, in his new field of labor, that he may have as active co-workers and kind friends as he has left behind him. - - A New SpHffte Stock at R.

Bells were rung and our citizens, ‘‘our bucket brigade” work, ed heroically and saved all the buildings, except the one in which the fire was start ed. The main building was on fire sev eral times in various places. The school is under the superintendency of J. G. White, Esq., and haa under Its care about two hundred children.

Great Oil Strike,— The Butler Engle says: We are informed by a gentleman residing in Concord township, that an oil strike of a hundred barrel well was made, on the Samuel McClelland farm, in that township, about one mile Northeast of Greece City, last Monday morning. It thus far gives evidence of being one of the best wells in the county. The owners are all Butler county people, and we con gratulate them on their success. Among them are several Butler ladies, among whom we may mention Mrs. J. H. Sutton, Mrs. John M. Greer, Mrs. G. W. Pleeger and Mrs. Kennedy Marshall.! Wish our wife had been one of them. The lecture of James Alexander Mow- all, Jof Dublin, Ireland, on Tuesday evening at the Court House, on the “Poets and Poetry of Ireland,” was very slimly attended, partly owing to the fact that it was not well advertised, but we had the pleasure of listening to what might have been, under more favorable and inspiring circumstances, a very agreeable entertain* ment. The subject was fail of interest, and the lecturer was a genuine Irishman.)
