A VERY slight mistake of a tele
graph operator made President Hayes
die the other day instead of dine at a
town in Kansas.
REV. G. W. CRITCHLOW, of Pros
pect, preached in the English Lutheran
Church of this place, last Sunday
week, two very acceptable sermons.
THERE is now but little doubt that
Butler county will soon again come to
the front as an oil county, and outdo
McKean county and all other parts.
THE managers of the Leechburg
Agricultural Society have our thanks
for a complimentary ticket. The F air
commenced yesterday, to continue four
days. _
WE are indebted to the management
of the Jefferson County (Pa.) Agri
cultural Exhibition for a compliment
ary ticket to the same. The exhibi
tion commenced yesterday and will
close on Friday.
TRACEY, convicted of the murder of
a young lady in McKean county last
summer, and who was under sentence
of death, to be executed next Friday,
has been reprieved until November,
with a hope of having his case again
brought before the Board of Pardons
for a more favorable hearing than on a
former occasion.
THE weather recently has been very
pleasant and favorable to the farmers
for gathering in their crops of corn,
potatoes and buckwheat, all of which
are good in this county. The fields of
corn stand thick with shocks, now
being husked and taken in. The buck
wheat is being threshed and the flour
put into market, a fact very pleasing
to all lovers of our world-renowned
staple. _
Court.
A special term of Court, for jury
trial of civil causes, convened on Mon
day and will continue two weeks,
Judge Bredin on the Bench, with As
sociate Storey—Judge Marshall is too
ill to be present. Full proceedings
will be given next week.
New Oil Belt.
A new oil belt is found in Alle
gheny township, this county, and there
is increased excitement around Six
Points and Byrom Centre. Allegheny
township is now perhaps the most
lively part of our county in oil mat
ters. The Bradford Era of last week
predicts that Butler county will soon
again rival McKean county in oil pro
duction.
Long-Perdue * Case in Pittsburgh.
From the Pittsburgh papers of last
Saturday we learned of the transfer of
the battle, in the Long-Perdue case,
from the Courts of this county into
those of the Federal Government at
Pittsburgh. One of the papers gives
the following account of it there :
John T. Perdue, sixty-four years of
»gc, a bankrupt oil dealer, whose tribu
lations, in consequence of a charge of
peijury being made against him about
twenty months ago, were published
at length, was brought from Butler
county yesterday by Sheriff Hoffman
on a habeas corpus to be heard to-day
before the United States District
Court, to determine whether or not he
shall be discharged from imprisonment
in the Butler jail. Perdue was jailed
May 18, 1878, for the non-payment of
a judgment rendered against him in
the Common Pleas of Butler county,
December 30, 1877, in favor of George
S. and Mary Ann Long for $27,000.
Perdue claims that he is in prison for
debt, and contrary to law ; that he
was discharged from bankruptcy by
the United States Court for the North
ern District of Ohio, and thai thereby
he was discharged from the payment
of the debt. At the May term, 1878,
of the United States District Court
for thig district, a true bill was ren
dered against Perdue for perjury, it
being charged that he swore falsely
before United States Commissioner
Burns at Petrolia, respectiug the own.
ership of some oil wells. The trial is
fixed for the coming term. In the
United States Circuit Court Perdue
has entered suit against Long, who
was once his business partner, for al
leged malicious prosecution.
ITational Bank Affairs.
The following order has been di
rected by the Treasury Department at
Washington to Mr. Cullum, the Re
ceiver of the National Bank here. Be
ing an official document we publish it
as an item of news, and showing one
step taken towards paying the debts
of the Bank:
U. S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, )
OFFICE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY, >
WASHINGTON, D. C., September 19, 1870. J
In the Matter of the Firtf National Bank, of
Butler, Pa.:
To AH Whom it May Concern—This in to
certify that I have taken an accounting of the
condition of the estate of the first National
Hank, of Butler, Pa., aforesaid, and of its as
sets and liabilities, and I do find and determine
upon data satisfactory to me, that in order to
provide the money necessary to pay the debts
of MM4 association it is necessary now to en
force, to tlt« extent hereinafter mentioned, the
individual liability of the shareholders of said <
association, provided for by the twelfth section
of the Act of Congrtwx, entitled, "An Act to
provide a National Currevmf," approved June
3, 1864, and by Section 5151 vt ib/i Revised
Statutes of the United States, approved June
tH, 1874; and to that end, and in pursuance of'j
the p»«r«r» vested iu lac »}- the said Acts, I 1
have made, and ilo hereby orJtr and ni.iki' an
nssessnieut or requisition UJKIII the sharehold
ers «f said association or bank, an<l each and
every one of them, wiually ami ratably, to the
amount of one hundred dollars, pel- centum,
(SIOO |>er cent.) of the par value of the shares
of the Capital Stock in the saitl association,
held or owned by them respectively at the time
of the failure or suspension, and I direct Henry
1?. Cullum, the Receiver heretofore r.pp-inted
of the said association, to take the necessary
proceedings, by suit or otherwise, to enforce to
that extent the said individual liability of the
said shareholders.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set iny hand and caused my Seal of Oi
fk-e to be utlixcd to these presents at
[L. S.] the Citv ot' Washington, in the District
of Columbia, this 19th day of Septem
ber, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-ine. Joux JAY KNOX,
"Comptroller of the Currency.
Bv the above it will be learned that
an assessment is made upon the stock
holders of the Bank to an amount
equivalent to the whole of their
shares, notice of which has been given
them by the Receiver. other
matter concerning the Bank lias re
cently appeared, but as its affairs are in
the hands of the law we deem it prop
er at present to publish only what
transpires of a legal or official charac
ter. The National Banks are a part
of our National Government and by
the laws creating them, for its benefit,
the Government is bound to see that
the people, its creditors, are protected.
An official statement of the condition
of the Bank here, when closed, we
learn will soon be made, when the
public will probably know all about
its past management and present liabil
ities.
The New Bridgo Law.
The Legislature passed at the last
session, and Gov. Hoyt approved, on
the 14th of June, the following sup
plement to the bridge laws of the
State:
SECTION 1. Be it enacted, etc.,
That when a river, creek or rivulet,
over which it may be necessary to
erect a bridge, crosses a public road or
highway, and the erection of said
bridge requires more expense than it
is reasonable that one or two adjoining
townships should bear, that after a
view has been ordered by a proper
Court, as now provided by law, if it
shall appear, by the report of the
viewers and the approval of the Court
and grand jury, that such bridge
would be necessary and would bo too
expensive for such townships to bear,
then whenever the County Commis
sioners do not deem it advisable to
enter such bridge on record as a county
bridge, but shall consider it proper to
assist such township or townships in
building the same, they are hereby
authorized and empowered, from and
out of the county funds, to either build
such bridge or furnish such township
or townships the whole or a part of
the money necessary to build it, with
out entering such bridge on record as
a county bridge.
SEC. 2. That the County Commis
sioners shall keep a record of all their
proceedings in such cases, and such
bridges shall be maintained, kept in
repair and rebuilt, when necessary, by
the respective township or townships,
and the county shall in no event be
liable for the same.
Bes) temper Oil Figures.
The Titusville Herald of Gctobpr 1
printed the report of oil operations for
the month of September. The record
is more encouraging than any that has
been made for months past. In brief
it shows that 240 wells Jiave been
finished producing 4,000 barrels; 291
wells are now being drilled, and 325
rigt; are up and building. The average
production of flach well lias been 18i
barrels, and there has been a failing of!!'
of 1,460 barrels as compared with
August.
The Herald gives the following
comparison : Iu September there were
24G wells finished, giving a production
of 4,006 and w average of barrels
each, while in August there y/ere 304
wells completed with a production of
6,000 barrels and an average of 19 1-5
barrels. With two or three exceptions
only, the September production shows
a marked decrease over that of August,
whieh, with the exception of Cole
Creek, showed a decrease over July.
In August the rigs up and building
were 332, while in September there
323. The drilling wells of August
were 333, while for the month just
expired they were 291. In the month
of September there were twenty-three
dry holes as against eleven in the
month of August. Altogether the out
look is somewhat and if
it should continue, it may ofter pionUau
of better times in the sweet by and by.

Leadville Laconics.
Mr. Ernest Ingersoll, who has been
investigating the "Ups and Downs in
LcadvilL" i;; tb,e interest of Scribner,
contributes the result of hit; labors to
the October number of that magazine.
Among the numerous anecdotes which
he records is the following (the mine
referred to in the first being the Dead
Man claim):
It was winter. Scotty had died,
and t»;e boys, wanting to give him a
right smart of a burial, hired a man
for twenty dollars to dig a gtava
through ten feet of snow and six feet
of hard ground. Meanwhile, Scotty
was stuffed into a snow bank. Noth
ing was heard of the grave-digger for
three days, and the boys, going out to
»ee what had happened to him, found
him in a hole which, begijii an a j?raye,
proved to be a sixty ounce mine. The
quasi sexton refused to yield, and was
not hard pushed, for Scotty was for
gotten and stayed in the snow bank
till th« April sun searched him out,
the boys meanwhile sinking prospect
holes in his intended pejgetery.
One mine had its shaft dov»n {33
feet and the indications of success
were good. Some capitalists proposed
to purchase an interest in it, and a
half of the mine was offered them for
SIO,OOO, it" taken before five o'clock.
At half-past four rich silver ore yyas
struck, and when at half-pant livo the
tardy men of money came leisurely
up and signified their consent to the
bargain, the manager pointed at the
clock, and quietly remarked: "The
price of a half interest in this mine
now, gentlemen, is sixty thousand
lollars."

The Uto Indiau Outbreak.
Another Indian revolt; another sur
prise of our soldiers; an officer am
tliirtcen men killed, two officers am
I twenty-five men wounded and tht
• remainder of the command intrench
i ing themselves that they may hold ou
: until reinforcements arrive. So run:
! the latest Indian news, 'this time i
is the Utes, long celebrated in Indiat
Bureau reports as peaceable ; the wilt
northwestern corner of Colorado is the
scene. It is the old story. Parties o
miners invaded the country last June
prospecting for the precious metals
then some of the Indians sallied ou
from the reservation, committing in
ceudiary acts. Troops were called foi
and the trouble subsided for awhile
Finally, seeing Agent Meeker plough
ing new ground around the agenc\
buildings at White River, tiie Chiefs
became obstreperous. Another cal
was made for troops on the Bth of las
month, and last week three companies
of cavalry started, with a supply trail
from Rawlins, on the Union Paeifu
Railroad, for the White River Agency
over a hundred miles to the south
Within twenty-five miles of their des
tination the troops were met in a diffi
cult canyon on Milk Creek by the hos
tile bands. By a cleverly combined
attack a large body of Indians got in
the rear of the troops, who were ad
vancing to charge their first assailants
Major Thornburg, who was in com
maud, ordered a charge upon the party
in his rear, and during this charge fell
while leading his men. Under a heavy
fire they gained the shelter of thn
wagon train and—are there intrenched
and waiting. A terrible cloud ol
anxiety will hang over the country
until the reinforcements now being
hurried forward with commendable
speed are heard from at Milk River.
The fate of the agent, Mr. N. C.
Meeker, formerly of the New York
Tribune, and later editor of the Tri
bune at Greeley, Colorado, is left in
most painful doubt. His family was
with him. They were safe on the
29th ult., though he had been driven
from his house by one of the chiefs.
The hostiles, flushed with victory and
maddened with the sight of blood, are
between him and human help.
The agency to which these Utes
belong is the most northern of three
for the same tribe on their reservation
in Western Colorado. They number
nine hundred and have some two hun
dred warriors. It appears they have
had no difficulty in supplying them
selves with arms. The report for
iSTt says o;} this point that the sale
of arms and ammunition was forbidden
on the reserve, but "they had only to
go oil" the reserve to obtain all the
arms and ammunition, both loose a;id
fixed, which they desired," from white
traders. In the same report, in ref
erence to mining "prospectors," is
found those significant words ; "I have
thus far been successful in sending
them away. Their numbers, however,
will . increase, I am afraid, another
season, and cannot be prevented in the
future without the presence of a mili
tary force, devoted as much to the
interests of the Indians as |;o those of
the whites." Hero, then, are tlio old
irritating causes—the white mail seek-
ing for gold, the soldiers necessary to
keep off the whites. To the Indians
the cure seems as bad as the disease.
It can thus be seen how these sus
nicions creatures would regard even
liq e*ten»ion of thy agpney farm as a
fresh inroad upon their domain, al
though the reservation for the tribe, of
less than four thousand souls, covers
over eighteen thousand square miles.
They objected to the troops as much as
to the miners, and hence the advance
of the former was met with the cun
ning and ferocity of the savage who
bejieyes he is defending the last strong
hold of his doomed roco, The adyi+uce
of civilization is a tragedy.

A Veteran Aeronaut Lost.
ST. LOUIS, October 2. —Prof. John
Wise made an ascension in his large
balloon. Pathfinder, from Lindell Park,
on Sunday evening, intendiqg {o re.
main in the air as long as the sustain
ing power of the balloon held out.
The ascension was made solely in the
interests of science, particularly me
teorology. A brisk breeze was blow
ing when the fastenings were cut loose
wfyipj> carried the balloon in a north
erly direction for perhaps two niiies,
at au elevation of from 1.200 to 1,500
feet, it then turned due east and
sailed away out of sight. Prof, Wiso
expected to enter what he calls a per
manent eastern wind current at an
elevation of about 1,000 to 2,000 feet,
which he desired to keep in if possible
*1,4 lpakp observation; and to effect
this more surely his i,oii.slisi H t{
only of a three-quarter inch rope, 1,800
feet long 1 , which trailed from the bal
loon. When the gas is exhausted the
balloon was to descend, and the end of
the rope dragging on the ground was
to relieve the balloon of part of its
weight !JO)4 it steady in the cur
rent. Mr. George liuiiy tellpc of tiiP
St. Louis National Bank, who has
made three ascensions and takes much
interest in the subject of air naviga
tion, accompanied Prof. Wise.
No tidings have yet been received
of the whereabouts of Prof. Wise and
J;isj companion, and the opinion is
'growing very utior.g they have
met the same fate as Donaldson and
Grim wood, who ascendod from Chi
cago two or three years ago.
The balloon was new and had made
only a few ascensions. The last was
at Sterling, 111., on the 19th ult., when
John W'PPi J r > a grandson of Prof.
Wise, reached an aliunde u? o;fcr tluvp
miles and made a voyage of eighteen
miles. Prof. Wiso is seventy-one
j vears of age, and ballooning with him
has been a life study, lie has made
•162 successful voyages.

| A Butler County Man Deserts His
- j Family for a Colored Woman.
I i [Pittsburgh Telegraph, Oct. 4.]
1 j About a year ago a Butler county
• j man named Strawick went to lowa,
. | for the purpose of taking up a claim ol
t land and improving it for the benefit
5 of his wife and family in after years,
t In April last he wrote for the latter tc
x come on. as he had prepared a com
-1 fortable home for them, und was get
-3 ting along quite prosperously. Mrs.
f Strawick accordingly emigrated there
with her four small children, and, re
• united after their separation, the family
t settled down to the enjoyment of ar
. apparently unruffled happiness. It
r seems, however, that the husband had
previously cultivated the acquaintance
. of a fine looking colored woman. This,
j in time, is said to have ripened intc
3 love, and about two months after the
1 arrival of his family the inhuman
t wretch deserted them and eloped to
3 Texas in company with his African
i inamorata. Thus left in the lurch,
> Mrs. Strawick disposed of what was
left and started for her home in this
State. The journey was one of great
. hardship and suffering, and in time
. they became so badly oil' that charity
. had to bo invoked in order to accom
-1 plish tiie task. Mrs. Strawick arrived
i in Allegheny this morning with her
. children who, together with herself.
were suffering greatly with severe
. attacks of fever anil ague. The lady
was quite a comely woman, and upon
[ applying at the office of the Poor
- Board, told her story in a straightfor
. ward manner. The authorities assisted
I her to her home. If Ler story is true,
■ and the above are the facts, hers, in
- deed, has been a sad experience.
\ The Wheat Market.
Close observers of the wheat market
during the past week have seen some
substantial reasons for thinking that
. the high prices which bread stuffs have
reached thus early in the season will
; not only be maintained, but very likely
will be run much higher as the autumn
advances. Notwithstanding the large
crop harvested this summer, the dis
astrous failure of crops abroad pro
. duced a foreign demand, which in the
early days of last week had pushed
; the price of wheat for November de
livery up to $1.07 and SI.OB. A com
bination of wheat operators, who
thought this advance partly specula
tive, formed a plan to break the market,
and on Friday threw several million
bushels upon it. The price staggered
somewhat, but the break utterly failed
to affect prices at Liverpool, and in a
fe\y hours the market recovered its
firmness. The European deficit in
breadstuff's is so enormous, and the
demand for American wheat and corn
so impefative, that no temporary flurry
on this side of the water could shake
the firmness of the foreign market. It
is generally rash to venture any very
definite opinion as fo the future value
of any specified commodity,«but it is
generally conceded that bread can be
no cheaper in this country thau it UOAV
is, until a new crop is harvested
throughout the world. The wheat
that is now worth $1.07 will undoubt
