FOR JURY COMMISSIONER,
JT. Wesley Monks,
OF MIDDLESEX.
THE Allegheny river is said to be
three inches lower than it was in 1854,
the year of the great dry spell.
SOME sales in real estate near this
place were made last week. Part of
the Milton Maxwell farm, in Centre
township, (150 acres, with the build
ings), was sold for $9,750.
THE vote in Connecticut on Monday
week last, on the proposed Constitu
tional amendments, making the Judges
hold office during good behavior and pro
viding for biennial sessions of the Leg
islature hereafter, resulted in the de
feat of both by a large majority.
THE Ohio election came off yester
day, and we are sorry we cannot with
hold our paper to give some news.
But we have to go to press this (Tues
day) evening and of course have no
news. Both parties are claiming the
victory, but we have but little doubt
of a Republican triumph.
EX-SHEBIFF MCCANDLESS, and his
three sons, who were so seriously in
jured by the falling of the Plankroad
bridge here some weeks ago, are all
getting along well, and are considered
out of danger. The three boys are
about on crutches, and the broken
limbs of the ex-Sheriff are fast healing.
THE English Lutheran Church of
this place was unexpectedly crowded
to its utmost capacity on Sunday even
ing last, no services then being bad at
any of the other churches of the place.
From the close attention given the
sermon of Rev. Waters, we judged
the large audience were much inter
ested and pleased with the same.
JOHN QCINCY ADAMS, Jr., grandson
of ex-President John Quincy Adams,
of illustrious name and fame, has been
nominated by the regular Democrats
of Massachusetts as their candidate
for Governor. This is the sixth time
he has been so named by that party
for that office, and his chances for sue- 1
cess now are more hopeless than ever
before. Truly "politics make strange
bedfellows," when a descendant of the
Adamses becomes a Democratic candi
date.
CAPT. JAS. T. SAMPLE, of Sewickley,
Allegheny county, we are informed, is
soou to canvass this county for sub
scribers to the New York Tribune,
and we take this occasion to recom
mend him to the people of Butler
county as an honest, worthy and per
fectly reliable agent and man in all be
may say or do. Mr. Sample is crip
pled, having lost a leg in the Mexican
war. The New York Tribune is now
the leading Republican journal of the
country, and in view of the approach
ing contest of 1880, for President, all
its readers will find it a very able and
interesting paper.
As an illustration of the remarkable
memory and clearness of mind of Mr.
David Dougal, now over a hundred
years of age, a gentleman of this place
who visited him lately tells us that on
being enquired of relative to the loca
tion of a certain saw mill sixty years
ago and the title to and lines of the
property on which it then stood, being
a piece of land in Brady township,
near what is, known as the Stone
House place, Mr. Dougal gave an ac
curate description of tho said location,
with a history of the title of the place
on which it stood, and the different
owners, then and since, and all about
it, which was important information
to the present owner.
JOHN G. WHITTIEB, the Quaker poet
and veteran abolitionist, recently wrote
a very interesting letter to the Worces
ter Convention, held in honor of the
25th anniversary of the organization
of the Republican party in Massachu
setts. After referring to the rise and
progress of - the anti-slavery senti
ment in political circles he says:
"The Republican party has done a
noble work, but it has still its mission
and its duties. It is as necessary now
as it has ever been. It must be main
tained until the ballot-box everywhere
is safe from violence or intimidation,
and the civil rights of every class of
American citizens are made secure be
yond the possibility of suppression or
infringement." This is true doctrine.
Tho Pittsburgh Blot Losses.
The Supreme v°ourt, now sitting at
Pittsburgh, rendered a decision last
week, to tho effect that the county of
Allegheny is liable for the losses sus
tained by the great riot at Pittsburgh
in July, 1877. The decision is made
under the old Act of Assembly, of
1841, which, to our mind and the
minds of many others, never contem
plated a riot of the extent and nature
of that happening in Pittsburgh in
July, 1877 ; but contemplated merely
riots of a local nature, and meant to
provide that the local community
should be responsible for losses by the
same. We all recollect that that riot
extended along railroads nearly from
one end of the Union to the other, and
happened to concentrate and burst
forth at Pittsburgh. The absurdity
and injustice of the decision making
Allegheny county wholly liable for
those losses, will appear in the fact
that they might have been of such ex
tent that no one county or city could
possibly pay for the same. Suppose
the whole or the half of Pittsburgh
had l>een destroyed #v that fire and
riot, how could the balance of the peo
ple of Allegheny county ever been
able to pay the losses ? Or suppose
said railroad riot had happened to have
first broken out in Philadelphia, the
home of Judge Paxson, who delivered
this cruel opinion, and Philadelphia
had been half destroyed and half her
people ruined, what kind of an inter
pretation of that old law would it be
to say that the other half of the people
should bear all the loss ? And all this,
and much more that might be adduced,
goes to illustrate that only small and
local riots were contemplated by the
law of 1841. The riot of July, 1877,
was anvthing but of that character.
Allegheny county will yet certainly be
relieved from the possibility of paying
so great a loss through this late deci
sion of the Supreme Court.
Tho Oil Market.
During the past ten days the oil
market has been unsteady, ranging
from 78 to 90 cents per barrel, and
closing last week at about 90. The
general outlook, however, favors an
advance in price. This week it has
reached 93 cents.
About Some Birds.
What is known as the English spar
row is now among us, an institution
of this town, and evidently come to
stay. Sitting at our office window
the other day we noticed them gather
ing material upon the street for nest
making, with which they flew up to a
corner of the Brady Law Building,
into a narrow space between the
brackets and a water pipe, and there
placed it, evidently building a nest.
Being at this time of the year our cu
riosity was attracted to know why
this nest is being built so late in the
season, and when almost all other
birds are gone away with the young
ones they raised here during the sum
mer. The nest, we imagined, was
probably for winter use as a house,
and so it may be. But it seems they
are a bird of not only rare impudence
in manner and great voracity in eating,
but are as well of great fecundity, so
that the nest may possibly be for
hatching more young sparrows. The
vigor of these birds is remarkable. It
was quite amusing to see them seize
weeds and other things on the ground,
and the pulls and jerks they would
give to extract them. These would
be so vigorous sometimes that the
bird would throw itself upon its back.
Their chattering, too, is continual, but
not at all musical or pleasant, Fre
quently they will go upon the trees
and make such a noise that you would
suppose some great calamity had hap
pened them. It is hard to tell, on
these occasions, whether it is fun and
frolic among them, or a, fight. They
apparently attack one another with
great fierceness, but may be "only in
fun." Compared with our modest
little American sparrow there is a
great contrast. It is said they are a
foe to our nice little sparrows that
only come in the spring to stay through
the summer and then go away again.
In fact it is said that nearly all birds
are afraid of them. But certain it is
we have them among us, an annoyance
and a nuisance, and don't sing at all—
nothing but the same chatter all the
time. In England they are called
house birds, because of their famili
arity with and disposition to stay
about towns and houses. If this is
their nature they will never spread
through the woods. They were intro
duced into Philadelphia some years
ago, it is said, for the purpose of de
stroying the insects and worms that
pester the trees in the public parks,
etc., and from there they are spreading
out through the country. They can
stand cold weather, and do not pro
pose to go South like the robin and
our little sparrow or "chippee," and
so we will have to put up with them
with all their bad manners and un
musical voices.
National Bank—Oorreotion by Mr.
W. S. Boyd of Letter of Charles
McCandloss, Esq. , •
BUTLER, Oct. 10, 1879.
Messrs. Editors —My attention has
been called to a letter of Charles Mc-
Candless published in the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, dated Oct. 6, 1879, where
my name is used. True there was a
drive made on me in February, 1878,
and I did maka a temporary assign
ment, and wa« on paper in the First
National Bank, being nearly all endorse
ments, to about $14,000, and during
the year reduced it to about $8,000;
and kept still on reducing it, and a
short time before the bank failed I
lifted every dollar of paper I was on
and gave one, with good security, of
$2,500; and that was transferred or
assigned to the Fifth National Bank of
Pittsburgh. So that took up all the
paper I was on in any way in the First
National Bank of Butler. I had
been doing a large business in the
bank, as iny bank book shows. Now
in justice to myself I make the above
statement. In June, 1879, my As
signee reassigned my property back to
me, all but a few pieces that had been
sold. Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM S. BOYD.
There are but few persons in this
community, if any, who will not say
Mr. Lloyd, the writer of the above, is
simply doing justice to himself in
making the above publication, It is
very natural for him, and any of the
others named in the letter of Mr. Mc-
Candless to the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
to feel aggrieved at the thus dragging
of their names "before the public, oven
if the statements made were true. But
JittfcUc Cifc*»eu ' Wntl*K*P*., (OktabwE ta, tg?9.
when they are not true, in the seusc
conveyed bv Mr. McCandless, then we
can readily understand his indignation
and that of others, at this attempt to
make their alleged failures the cause
of the failure of the First National
Bank. Mr. Boyd, as he states, does
not owe the National Bank here a
cent, and did not owe it a cent for some
time before it closed, having settled
with it and lifted all the paper he was
on before it failed, giving his note for
a balance, with good security, which
note was immediately sold to a bank
in Pittsburgh and the money realized
upon it by and for the use of the Na
tional Bank here. So the closing of
his dealings with it, as the matter
stands, was for the benefit of the
bank here, and if he has anything yet
to pay on his small note given it will
be paid to the Pittsburgh bank, its
present owner. The National Bank
here lost nothing by him. nor did Mr.
McCandless, nor can they. Why then
was his name used at all ? And why
were the names of others omitted by
Mr. McCandless who do owe the Bank
and whose paper yet lays unpaid in it,
with a strong probability of never
being paid. The names of some jyven
owe, it is affirmed by them, small
amounts, while the names of some
omitted owe largely, in one case to the
amount of about $5,000, and which
case may account for the whitewashing
contained in an editorial of a paper of
this place last week, in which the
losses are spoken of in a light way and
the sufferers as being of the "more
fortunate class who can bear their loss."
The real causes of the failure of this
National Bank are well understood
here. It was used for individual pur
poses and ends. There were too
much oil speculation in it, and too
much politics, which has resulted in
injurv to individuals as well as to the
Republican party of this county. But
it is not our purpose, nor have we any
desire, to now allude to these things.
We stated last week, that although
the public seemed to be entitled to all
news in reference to it, yet wo would
confine ourselves to official acts or facts
as they transpired in its winding up.
We little expected then to see the pub
lications made here and in Pittsburgh.
The great trouble, and which is much
to be regretted, is that innocent par
ties, among them some of the Direc
tors of the Bank, have already suffered
and may yet suffer more. If so the}'
will have the sympathy of this entire
community.
Since writing the above Mr. Mc-
Candless has corrected his statement
in regard to Mr. Boyd, and desires it
to be so stated, which we do with
pleasure.
Tho Missing Balloon.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. s.—Nothing has
been heard of the missing balloouists.
It is now generally believed that Prof.
Wise and George Burr are dead, or if
they are still alive that they are lost
in the woods of Macoupin county, Illi
nois. A reward has been offered for
the recovery of the bodies by young
Burr's father. This, it is hoped, will
stimulate search. It has been said by
some that the whole thing is merely
an advertising scheme, and that the
aeronauts will turn up at the proper
time safe and well. Burr is cashier of
the First National Bank. His father
is president. His friends are very
and say that the young man
would under no circumstances lend
himself to such a scheme. Then again
the lady to whom Burr was engaged
to be married, who was to be apprised
of his safety at the nearest telegraph
station, has heard nothing from him.
The air-ship started from the fair
grounds here at p. m. on Sunday
last, in a storm of wind, the velocity
of which was more than sixty miles
an hour, and in twenty minutes was
seen scudding along the clouds at Al
ton, twenty-five mile* distant. It
was seen later at Bunker Hill, and
was last seen, as far as is positively
known, at Carlinville, Illinois, fifty
miles northeast of St. Louis. Had
the balloon made a safe landing, it
seems highly probable, to say the least
that Prof. Wise and Burr would long
before this have found their way out
of the wilderness, especially as the
Professor had a compass with him.
It seems that Prof. Wise had serious
misgivings about the voyage before
the start Several people wished to
go, but the balloon would not lift
them. To Mr. Burr, who offered to
go alone, he said; "If only one man
can go, I will be that man ; if two can
go, you will be the other; but I
would rather leave you behind. lam
old enough now to die; you are young
enough to live many years." Mr. J.
F. Downew, Prof. Wise's nephew, has
received from the agent of the Wabash ]
Railroad at Uliopolis, Illinois, this
dispatch : "Found on Monday morn
ing, two miles west of here, a paper
dropped from Wise's balloon." This
would indicate that the air-ship had
been carried to the northward. In all
probability the balloon has been
dashed to pieces and both men lost.
There is yet a faint hope among the
friends of the aeronauts that the adven
turers may be alive. The Pathfinder
was a new balloon, built of stuff made
expressly for it and another balloon,
It was one of tho best ho ever mado,
and was not oiled until three weeks
a"o. It had never been used and was
exceedingly strong. If it had been
rotten, it would never have survived
the hard usage it received on Sunday,
and would not, with the immense
strain on it several times, have got
out of the park. The netting of the
balloon was not as heavy as it should
have been for stormy weather, and
yet heavy enough for all practical pur
poses. The cause of the snapping
during the filling process is easily ex
plained. The bag was allowed to fill
too rapidly without commensurate at
tention being paid to the relieving pro
cess, so that too much strain fell on
one or two cords ; added to this came
a heavy puff of wind just as the men
were letting the balloon up, doubling
the strain on these few cords. "Mr.
Burr made the ascent simply for the
iovc of adventure. The young lady
to whom he was engaged was prom
ised tidings of the first anchorage of
the balloon by Mr. Burr himself. The
romantic announcement has never
been received, and this young lady,
strong as is her faith in the missing
friend, has terrible misgivings that the
two have met with a horrible fate.
The last words she heard from the lips
of Mr. Burr were: "I'll telegraph
you." He then hurried to his place,
started on his journey, anrl with his
hat in hand waved what may proba
bly prove his last good-bye.
Thirteen Governors Expected.
In accordance with the arrange
ments for meeting of the Governors of
the thirteen original States, to l>e held
in Independence Hall, on Monday, the
20th inst., for the purpose of starting
preparations for the purposed celebra
tion of the one hundredth anniversary
of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at
Yorktown, it is announced that the
Governors of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia are to
leave Richmond on Friday morning,
the 17th inst., on the way to this city,
and will probably be joined at Balti
more by the Governor of Maryland.
Upon arriving here it is arranged that
thev shall be met at the American
Hotel (opposite Independence Hall)
by the Governors of New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con
necticut.
It is proposed to have the Gover
nors visit the Permanent Exhibition
on Saturday afternoon, the 18th inst,,
and that on the following day, the an
niversary of the surrender of Corn
wallis, they shall attend divine ser
vice in old Christ Church, Second
street, above Arch, where Washington
worshipped. After the meeting to be
held on the next day, Monday, when
it is expected the nine Governors men
tioned will be joined by the Chief
Magistrates of New York, Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey and Delaware, it is
said that they all will probably visit
Yorktown for the purpose of looking
at the site upon which it is proposed
to hold a grand national military en
campment in commemoration of the
surrender.— Philadelphia Times.
Warfare on Lotteries.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The ruling
made by the Postoffice Department
last Saturday, that all letters addressed
to lottery companies, or to persons as
agents of such companies, must be
treated as unmailable, has not been
rescinded, nor has the enforcement of
the accompanying order been sus
pended, as seems to be supposed in
some quarters. On the contrary, it is
being rigidly enforced. The post
master of Louisville has been informed
by the Postmaster General that he
should refuse to deliver any such let
ters, and should send them all to the
Dead Letter Office. The misunder
standing in regard to the matter ap
pears to have arisen form the fact that
no authority has yet been given to
postmasters to detain letters mailed to
persons known to be lottery agents,
but not addressed as such. The de
partment is, however, pursuing an in
vestigation as to the extent of the
business done and the methods by
which the statutes and the recent order
are evaded by the lottery companies,
with a view to determining whether a
postmaster at an office of delivery, who
has judical notice of the business en
gaged in by a company and its agents,
can hold letters which arrive in large
numbers addressed to an individual
whose connection with the lottery
company is not openly stated.
Our Question Box.

CANCER.
This disease like many others is regarded
as incurable. It is not so. If it is taken in
time it is as easily cured as a wart or a corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating it
from the system. Persons will have to be here
during part of the treatment, consequently
there is no use writing to me for information
whether it can be cured without my seeing the
case. I also treat with success, Rupture, Piles,
Fistula, Ulcers, Ulcerated legs, Varicose Veins,
