The Lawrence American says it is now pretty well understood thnt Gen eral Butler intends to try for the Re publican nomination for Congress, in that district. His supporters say that he litis no idea of an independent candidacy, but will try for the nom ination, and if he fails of that will keep out of the canvass. James II. Wells of Wilcox accldcntly shot himself with a revolver the other day while out walking with another gentleman. Mr. Wells had been shoot ing snakes, and was carrying his re volver in his hand when it exploded, accidentally, the ball taking ell'eet below the knee cap and penetrated downward. The ball had not been taken out at last accounts. A dead beat trumpprintcr appeared in the Advocate oilice the other day and asked for a few days work. Being in need of a hand we set him to work; we soon found out that work was not troubling him, half as much as whiskey. We loaned him 10 cents and lie went on his way rejoicing. He is a curly-haired tramp, an adept at drinking whiskey, and about forty two years of age.

Attorney General Lear has recently rendered a decision as to the power of supervisors and school directors to levy taxes. He holds that they may levy a tax on money that is at inter est, and they can tax real and per sonal estate. The latter includes money that is at interest. Their limit of taxation is one dollar to the hun dred. They can tax anthing which the county may, and can levy a tax to any amount not exceeding the State and county tax together Tlie wonderful progress of agricul ture in the Wef-t during the last quarter of a century may be gathered from the fact that Minnesota, accord ing to reliable statistics, where in 1850 only 3,0"2 acres were under cultiva tion, and the production was 1,400 bushels of wheat, 0,000 of corn and 16,000 of oats, there were in 1875 2,810, 413, acres under cultivation, and the products aggregated 31,875,000, bushels of wheat, 15,775,000 bushels of oats anil 9,50 0,000 bushels of corn. The Warren Ledge says there Is one feature about the Warren oil field upon which we have not spoken. It is this: There are hundreds of oil men coming and going, and nearly all are men of business qualities and reputations. They are among tlie most intelligent in all the oil regioiis. Each oil centre has its representative men hero. Ti tusville, Tidioute, Clarion, Oil City, Petrolia, Butler county, and other places have hero their representative men men of wealth and honor. How to Kill Bugs. A subscriber sends us an infallible remedy for the extermination of bugs, ants and all kinds of pestiferious. vermin: It is simply to dissolve a pound of aluin in two quarts of water, and while boiling hot apply it well with a brush to every joint, crevice, crack, or seam in the closets, bedsteads, pantries, or other places tsupposed to be infected. To fully prevent existence or appearance of vermin, brush the crevices of the floor, casings of the windows and doors and the mop-boards freely, and the gratuitous benefactor guarantees there will be no further trouble. Try it. All arout a Bung Hole. Some of the newspapers are astonished at a horse pulling the plug out of a bung hole of a bnrrel for the purpose of slak ing his thirst. Now if the horse had pulled the barrel out of the bunghole and slaked his thirst with the plug, or iftho barrel had pulled the bunghole out of the horse and slaked its thirst with the plug, or if the barrel had pull ed the bunghole out of the plug and slaked Its thirst with the horse, or If the plug had pulled the horse out of the barrel and slaked its thrist with the bunghole, or If the bunghole had pull ed the thirst out of the horse und slak ed the plug with the barrel, or if the barrel had pulled the horse out of the bunghole and plugged its thirst with the slake, it might be worth while to make a fusa about it. re. lift- imn.mimmwiK!t jwt tf A M1TLEJJLM' To nn net to rpgulnto the ninnner of In crenFltiar llio liKleutedness of mu!ilclifilllli' to provide for tlie redumption of tho sumo, and to Impose penalties for the Illegal In erenso thereof, approved the twentieth dny of April, Anno Domini elijliteen hundred nnd eventy-four, amending the sixth soetlon thereof.

Bell well No. 2 still continues to flow from 75 to 100 barrels per day, as near as we can learn. Vcrback No. 2, on top of the hill, proves to be a gusher. After it was tubed last Saturday the oil flowed quite steadily, and is still flowing. The Anderson well pumps about ten barrels daily, the Ellsworth and Roy No. 2 are small pumpers, and the Campbell well is a dry hole, ffells are being put down and rigs going up as fast as possible. Thirty-eight derricks can now be seen from the toll bridge, and there are nine others up the creek and back on the hill. Warren Mail. Accokding to a table recently com piled showing the number of cabinet changes duringall tho administrations from the foundation of the government it appears that the greatest number was during the Harrison-Tyler admin istration. The changes then reached twenty-three in a single term of four years. The smallest number was under Pierce, there having been no changes under his entire term. Washington made seventeen changes and Jackson nineteen. Both served eight years. Buchanan made fourteen and Lincoln and Johnson twenty. Grant, whose term of eight years has not expired yet, has thus far made twenty-two changes. A novel case has arisen in Canada, under the laws regulating Trade Unions. A stone cutter in Montreal, who did not;ielong to the Stone Cut ters Union, accepted work from a firm employing Union hands, but at less rates than the Union enacted. Tlie Trade Unionists then by threat eninga strike, compelled his discharge. The stone cutter has now sued the Trade Union, which is a regularly In corporated body, for actual and pros pective losses caused by its action, and hss lalp his damages at 1,000. He has engaged eminent counsel, and expects to pursue the suit vigorously. Tlie Canadian law is very stringent on the subject of strikes, aud it gives an ag grieved party tho right to proceed both civilly, as is here indicated, for damages and criminally, by charg ing a conspiracy to injure him. Sonic months ago, it will be re membered, Senator Davis, of West Virginia, offered a resolution calling on tlie Secretary of the Treasury for a list of defaulters to the government from 1800 to IS76. with the amount of their defalcations. The purpose of the resolution was to furnish u little cam paign thunder for the Democrats. Senator Sherman moved to amend the resolution so as to have a list of defalcations from 1836 to the present time, and it was adopted. The re port just published, commences with the administration of President Jack son, and shows, among other things, that the defalcations under the pres ent administration have been less than those under any other President. The losses to tho government under Van Buren were by far the largest, being more than double those of any other administration. The losses on every $1,000 of disbursements were in the administration of Jackson, $I0,C5; Van Buren, $21.15; Harrison, $10.87; Polk, $8.34; Taylor and Fillmore, $7.64; Pierce, $5.80; Buehanou, nearly $6.98; Lincoln, $1,41; Johnson, forty-eight cents; Grant, the first four years, forty cents; the second four years, twenty six cents. This is exclusive of the postoltice, which administers its own revenue. Iu the postohice the loss has gone down from $11. It on tho $1,000 in Jackson's administration, and $20.10 lu Van Buren's to $1.66 for the first term of Grant, and f 1.01 for the second, with an average of $H.51 for the whole period. UVS ITEMS. .

The foreign "shspments of corn from Boston for the month of Juno were 780,970 bushels, being by far the larg est amount ever shipped in a corres ponding month. The Senate has confirmed the nomi nated of Judgo W. W. Ketchum as U. 8. District Judge for the Western Dis trict of this State, vice William Me Cand'ess, retired. A report of the death of General Crook andthcaunihiliatiou of his com mand by tho Indians was telegraphed yesterday from the frontier. The re port is doubted at Washington and denied at Omaha. A destructive hailstorm passed over Auburn, N. Y.. Sunday evening, do ing considerable damage to fruits,, gardens, and field crops. Some of the pellets were six inches In circumfer ence, and tho loss from broken glass is heavy. Two Ameilcan barges engaged in conveying cargoes from one Canadian port to another were seized on Satur day by the customs authorities of Mon treal. The business of Cohran, McLean & Co., the suspended New York dry goods dealers, has been placed in the hands of receivers, who have given $150,000 bonds. Col.

Albert Curtis, son of Judge Curtis, Ashland, Ohio, was shot and instantly killed on Saturday, on n rauche near Laramie City, by a man named Chan dler. Chandler is still at largo. Susan Bowman, colored, Indicted at Washington for the murder of her in fant child, by casting her into a sewer on thc22d of April last, has been ac quitted on tlie ground of insanity. In Chicago, Friday week, a number of ''crooked whisky" distillers were sentenced to fines varying from $5,000 down to $1,000; and to terms of impris onment varying from two years to one day. Friday night week the stables of James Allen & Sons, railroad contrac tors, at Port Morris, were destroyed by fire Fifteen horses perished in the flames. The loss amounts to $20,000. Cause of the fire unknown.

Washington county, Pennsylvania, may well be called the mother of Con gressmen. One Senator and seven Representatives, now members of that body, were born in that county.

The Great Ameri can Fence Sitter bus been pretty sue uessl'ul in dodging most puhlic'ques tions, but he just put himself on record as an inflationist, and the record can't be talked down-" Cincinnati, 0., July 7. Crop reports from 238 points in Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee were tclegruphed to the Gazette last night. From these re ports it appears the season thus far has been very propitious for growing most kinds of grain, but just as harvest approaches there is threatened disaster from continued ains from all points, except Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, Fears of the destruc tion of a portion of the crops from this source are entertained, as the crop now stands wheat promises to yield two-thirds; oats less than au average crop; corn un usually large crop; hoy in abundance, but rank and weedy; wheat suffering consider ably from the ravages of the weevil. A terrible tornado prevailed in Iowa the night of the fourth. The village of Rock dale, twenty seven miles from Dubuque; in Ilia Northern part of the Slate, was washed out aud forty-two persous were drowned. At South Burlington, three per sons were killed and several injured by the storm, which was but an instant's duration.

The progress of work on the Mississippi river jetties has gone so far that Captain liads was reocntly enabled to close up Grand Bayou, a channel that has heretofore drawn otf about one-third of the water of the South Pass. The closing of this bayou so increased the current through the pass that in less than two days the channel was deepened more tbau a foot through the greatly increased scour. Captain Lads thinks that l his will soon tell on the main Wir, and, in fact, the pilots say its effects is already so marked that they can take over the main bar any veseel drawing twenty feet of water. If this be the case, the work or the jetties has already accom plisbed much more for the South Pass than many years of laborious and expensive dredging have beeu able to do fur the Soiithwett Pass.

Lieutenant Crittenden, son of General Crittenden, was among the killed. From tlie Tit I stimuli Telegraph. (Shall It be Extermination! Tho Indian peace policy of the Govern ment has never met with tho endorsement of the general public, for the reason that the results have not justified the claims of its authors. Violence prevails all along the border and ou the plains just as it did previous to the adoption of the peace policy and it will continue to exist until tho Indians are either exterminated or swal lowed up by large civilized communities. The treacherous Sioux will not submit to governmental authority, although they pro fess friendliness ut such times as the an nuities are distributed, and are ever ready for deeds of massacre and spoliation They are not to be trusted, and no mis sionary effort seems to have made the least impression upon them. They are rebellious at all times, and the present war upon them is due to the fact that they will not remain upon their resetvatious These worthless wards of the nation must be brought into subjection, and more vigorous measures than any of late employed by the Govern ment will have to be resortod to. The death of the gallant Custer and his equally brave followers was an extravagant price to pay for the few painted redskins who fell in the engagement at Little Horn river on the 25th ult., and it is high time the Government was conducting its Iodian oolicy on a less expensive scale. The millions of dollars expended every year in maintaining the savages no the plains, to say nothing of tho millions expended in maintaining the army for the protection'of border settlers in the same localities, aro wasted, and it is a species of government extravagance that should at once be put a stop to. A volunteer force should bo at once recruited, or the regular army as far as possible concentrated, ind vigorous war be made against tho Indians. If the savages cauunt be dispersed beyond hope of future concentration, then let it be a war of extermination, which only will give security to the outposts of civilization. The Sioux deserve no uiercv, and the sooner they are punished for the Little Horn mas. sucre and ether acts of diabolism the better will be the effect upon other tribes of war like intent.
