Something worth seeing, something worth having, and something that will not only please you momentarily, but an arti cle that will afford you many hours of pleasurable enjoyment with your family. You should call without delay at the Coach Shop of George C. Roessing, Esq., he has on hand the best lot of work that was ev er offered for sale in Butler county, con sisting of almost all kinds of vehicles, from family carriages that cost 8500 down to a wheel-barrow. If you desire to sec the most costly carriage ever put up in Butler county, call at ltoessing's, those which have heretofore been at •our count// fuirs bear uo comparison to it. Every body, old afid young, rich and poor, 'should visit this establishment and see what is worth seeing. Our wealthy farmers, who are in the habit of riding to church in market wagons, should lay them aside, and purchase a decent and substantial car riage. The anxious inquirer will find the Coach Shop of George C. Roessing, on Cunningham street, West of the Lowry House. Volunteering. Since our last issue, the citizens of sev eral of «lie sub-districts in the county, have been exerting themselves to fill their quotas under the last call fot 200,000 men. Summit and Centre have, we are inform ed. filled their quotas under all the calls; perhaps some others have done the same. There arc but a few days remaining in which to act, in order to procure the large Government bounties. We would say to the citizens of the different districts of our county that have not yet filled their quotas, to improve the time still left dili gently and faithfully. The Government has dealt leniently with us in this matter; we have had ample time and every oppor tunity that could be desired to enable us | to avoid a draft, by extending the time and Government bounties. And when the first of April arrives, if we have not then furnished our quota of 'men, wc will have to be content with our lot, and do, perhaps reluctantly, what we ought and might have done willingly and cheerfully. lire. On last Tuesday about 12 o'clock an alarm of fire was given by the bells of the borough, which was occasioned by the fact that the residence of Rev. Wm. White, situated on high ground about three-fourths of a mile East of Butler was on fire.— The citizens of the borough and vicinity hastened to the place to assist in arresting if possible the devouring element. The fire broke out in the Eastern part of the • building, being a small frame used as a kitchen and attached to the main building which is brick, there being a solid wall be tween the two, with the exception of one door in the south-east corner, being the only communication or opening between the two apartments. The roof of the kitchen was considerably lower than that of the main building ;• this, taken in con nection with the facts, that the wind WAS blowing from the south-west and the roof of the main building was damp from the raiu and snow that had been falling dur ing the forcuoou, the brick building was, through the timely aid and exertions of those present saved entire. The kitchen or frame part was entirely consumed.— The greater part of the furniture and oth er articles were removed from the main building, while the other was on tire, aud as, is almost universally the ease,somewhat damaged. liouuty Law. In our issue of to-day, will be fouud .nn Act relating to the payment of boun ties to volunteers, passed by the Pennsyl vania Legislature, and approved by the Governor. We have given it a hasty pud perhaps a superficial examination, aud will not therefore undertake to express an opinion as to the act in all its parts, but ithere is one feature, or provision in this billj which is entirely inapplicable to sev eral of the sub-districts in this county, and in fact, in our humble opinion, it will amount almost to nothing anywhere; we refer to the provision in the 7th section, Authorizing the levying and collection of a " per capita tax, of not more than "One dollar, on all taxable male- inhabitants and that only once in a year. Some of the districts in the county have levied a per capita tax of ten dollars, it is plain therefore, that so far as these districts are concerned, this bill is of no use whatever, t If the per capita tax had been loft at $5, it would have afforded some relief, and the bill would then.perhapts have answered the purposes for which it was enacted. If the provision with regard to the per cap ita tax had provided for the same, by em powering the proper authorities therein •enumerated, to levy and collect a per cap ita tax of not less than 85.00 nor more than 820,00, it would, in ouropinion. have been much better. Credit ol' Veterans. We are indebted to ('apt. A \\ ilson for the following information with regard to the credit of veterans to our county at at large. The Capt. went to Ilarrisbtirg expressly for the purpose of ascertaining the number credited to our county, and if possible to the different sub-districts; as far as the muster or (re-muster) rolls had been received at the Adjutant General's office at II arrisburg,- Butler county has a credit of eighty-eight veterans; this in cludes but a few returns from the lO.'id Regiment, in which it will be recollected we ha<Ui full company besides quite a num ber in other companies of the same regi ment. Of the above eighty-eight many are credited to sub-districts and the re mainder to tjie county at large, the latter can be credited to the sub-districts to which they properly belonged prior to their first enlistment, by the citizens of said districts complying with the order in regard to proof of residence, whenever the Provost Marshal shall have received certified cop ies of the re-muster rolls. Nine of the above number are credited to Washington township. The names we did not ascer tain. The following are credited to the borough of Butler. Elias Nelson and Karl Schmidt, Co. 11, 78th liogt.; AndrewDufford, John Poatz ler and Joseph West. 7th Pa. Cav.; Les lie T. Craner, 03d llegt.; Wm. W. Max well and Wm. Bowser, Co. K, 78tli Reg iment; Thornton 11. Flemniing 11th P. li. V. C.; Oren Matthews, Co. 11, 102 d llegt. P. \\; Aaron Hughes. Co. 11, 103 d llegt. P. V.; Charles 11. Sweeny, 2d Pa. Cavalry. Besides the above, the borough has a credit for three of a surplus on call for 500,000 men, making in all. a credit of 15 giving a surplus on all calls thus far made of 7 men. When the re-muster rolls arc all in, the borough with other dis tricts in the county will have their credits. The citizens of the borough especial ly. should goto work at once, and raise a local bounty for these brave veterans that have thus honored them with their names as a credit. Kunitairy Fair. Tn accordance with previous notice, a meeting was held in the Court room on last Tuesday evening, for the purpose of interchanging views upon the subject of the Great Western Saiiityry Fair, which is to be held at Pittsburgh sometime du ring the first of next June. The main object of the meeting, was, to make ar rangements for the purpose of beginning urn! at an early day perfecting an organi zation througluthe county, in order to car ry out systematically the great, good, glorious and humane objects had in view. Namely : the relief, comfort and health of the brave of our Government, and its lleaven born and blood bought liberties. The meeting wa.l organized by appointing AVm. Campbell, President,and Col. .1. N. Purviance, and Watson J. Young, Esq., Secretaries. A letter ad dressed to Win. Campbell, by the Presi dent of the Great Sanitary Fair to beheld in Philadelphia, was read, soliciting the citizens of Butler county, to co-operate with the organization -at Philadelphia, where it is in contemplat ion to hold a great fair for the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, which is to be held in and about the same time of that at Pittsburgh, After the reading of this letter, the meeting was addressed by Win. Campbell, J. N. Purviance, Col. A. Blake ley, Lewis Z. Mitchell, and others. A full and free interchange of opinion was had upon the subject, and it was unanim ously agreed togo into an organization at once, and to co-operate with and lend our influence to the fair to be held at Pitts burgh. On motion, it was agreed to appoint a committee of one Gentleman in each tp. and borough in the county for the pur pose of effecting an organization, this per son so appointed in each township, &c., to have the power to increase the commit tees to six. A committee of one was ac cordingly appointee} in each district rep resented iu the meeting. The central ex ecutive committee is composed of the fol lowing gentlemen : Wm. Campbell, Prcst. John N. Purviance, See'y. 1. J. Cum miugs Treasurer, and James Caiupbell.H. C. Heineman and Ebenezer McJuukin.— A\ e will endeavor to keep our readers in formed upon the great object in view, and we sincerely hope that the good people of our county will take hold of this.matter with an earnestness worthy of themselves and of the cause.
