A SPECIAL term of Court is being held this week for the trial of civil causes, Judge McJnnkin presiding, with Associates Storey and Dodds. Proceedings will lie given next week. .

IT is raining at this writing, Tues dav morning, and has rained here nearly every day of this month. Ihe mildness of this January is a subject of general remark, the oldest citizens saving thev never remember anything of the kind before. SUP'T WKKERKHAM is now prepar ing and will this week issue warrant to school districts in the State cover ing the year ended June, 1879, for one million dollars, the amount due them from the State for that period. Accor ding to the Superintendent's estimate the Commonwealth owes the schools about #2,500,000. SINCE January Ist Maine has had seven Governors, real, de facto and fraudulent. Garcelon ; Haines, Presi dent of the former Senate: Lamson, President of the Fusion Senate ; Smith, elected by the Fusionists; Locke, Pres ident of the Republican Senate ; Davis, elected by the Republicans, and Gen. Chamberlain. THE Commission appointed by the last Legislature to count the vote cast at th'j last State election, met in Har risburg last Wednesday, Gov. Hoyt presiding. The vote was compiled as follows: Butler, Republican, 280,153; Barr, Democrat, 221.207 ; Sutton, Greenbacker, 27,207 : Richardson, Pro hibitionist, 3,21 ft. AT the meeting of the Republican Committee of Crawford county, held in Mcadville last week, Jas. A. Stone, 11. C. Bloss, L. I). Beach, W. A. T. Andrews and H. L. Richmond were elected delegates to the State Conven tion. A resolution was passed instruct ing the delegates to support the nomi nation of James G. Blaine. "PROGRESS," Col. Forney's rare pa per, published in Philadelphia, is the l>est of all the literary publications of this country. There is a culture, a brightness, a rich vein of wealth and thought, conveyed in a style so pleas ant and brief, in every member of Progress, that we sec in no other pul>- lication. Every divine, judge, lawyer, or other professional man should have a copy, and once having it he would ajv preeiate its worth and continue to have it. TIIE President has nominated James Russell Lowell, who since 1877 has represented the United States at the Spanish capital, to succeed Hon. John Welsh as Minister to England, and John W. Foster, at present Minis ter to Mexico, to the Russian mission. Our present Consul General at Paris, ex-Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, has been tendered Mr. Lowell's place at Madrid, and Philip 11. Morgan, of Louisiana, win succeed Mr. Foster in the Mexican mission. Is the County Committee last Sat urday the suggestion was made that the time for holding the Primaries this year might as well be fixed, which, however, was not passed upon. It might as well have l>een done, and thus saved the trouble and expense to the Committee of assembling again licfore very long, as they will now have to do, and may l>e in equally as bad weather. But perhaps the Chair man wants some further "endorsement" before his time expires as such. BY the latest postal law, business men can actually make money by get ting their bills and statements of ac count priuted. Statements of account and bills of sale that arc made out on paper that is printed at the head, can lie sent through the mail for one cent, the envelope being left unsealed, whereas if made out upon unprinted paper they will cost three cents. Thus by patronizing the printer two cents ran be saved on every bill or state ment that is sent through the mails. A CANVASS of 08 Democratic news papers of Pennsylvania shows 15 in favor of Tilden, 13 for Bayard, 11 for Hancock, 9 for Seymour and 20 non committal. This shows that Tilden's reported strength-in Pennsylvania is genuine, so far as the press of his party is concerned. Among the voters the case seems to be decidedly other wise, for careful reports from all sec tions of the State, published in the Philadelphia Pre **, seem to show Bayard the favorite, with Seymour the second choice. THE Republicans of the State of Indiana make no State Convention job of the work of sending delegates to the Chicago Convention. They have re solved to choose delegates by Con gressional districts, and allow the peo ple to select and instruct to suit them selves. This is as it should lie. In this way, and in this only, are the people all fairly represented. The "unit" system, which is the scheme of political jobbers aud traders, is usurpa tion, unless all the districts are united on the qjieyioo of * choice. TnF. extent of the distress in Ireland inav ')« measured by the fact that nearly eight per eent. of the population are supported by eharity, while double that number are in need of many com mon comfort?. A i.ARiiF, meetins of the County Executive Committer of Armstrong was held at Kittanning last Fri dav week. The principal business was the electing of delegates to the ap proaching State Convention. A. P. Glenn and G. A. Williams were chosen as Representative delegates; and A. P. Neal as Senatorial delegate, subject to agreement with Butler county. Capt. J. G. Henry was recom mended as member of the State Cen tral Committee. Maj. J. G. Be ale for the Electoral College and Jos. Buf fington as delegate to the National Convention at Chicago. MESSRS. GRKER and Robinson were both members of the County Com mittee last Saturday, and both desired to go as delegates to the Conventions on the ground of being "endorse*.. This idea of making the Republican party of this county the instrument for giving political endorsements, to persons who have got into trouble through other kind of "endorsements," is a new one, and as far as we can learn is thoroughly disgusting to the honest masses of the party. Had they not both been members of the Com mittee, and took advantage of their position as such, the plea, it is said, would uot have prevailed. There has been a great amount of "endorsement' done by one for the other, political and otherwise, within the past four years, and now the one that happens to be Chairman of the County Committee prostitutes and dishonors the whole parly bv using it to his own personal and pecuniary advantage. About Maine. We can hardly credit the late news from Maine, to the effect that the Fusionists contemplate and are organ izing military resistance to the Govern ment that the law, through the highest tribunals of the Slate, lias declared to be the only lawful Government of the State. Should this be the fact, how ever, and through violence and anarchy blood be shed, the parties guilty of it will hove a fearful account to settle with the people as well as with the laws. Eutler County for Blaine. At the Republican County Com mittee meeting last Saturday the al most unanimous vote was for Blaine as the next Republican nominee for President. Our delegates were accord ingly instructed for him. He was the first, last and only choice. A motion to make Grant the second choice of the county received but little favor and was withdrawn. Our delegates to the State Convention, therefore, go to Harrisburg with no uncertaiu sound or purpose. Any of thoEe desiring to go as delegates, and who wished to l>e noncommittal or uninstrueted, had to yield to the strong current of public opinion and express themselves fully for Blaine. Throughout the State generally it seems as if the same sen timent animated the Republican masses and it now looks as if he will have a clear majority in the State Convention. The early call lor that Convention, by which it was apparent the people were not to lie allowed time to be heard, added to the fact of Blaine's great popularity with the masses, and the further fact that they believed he was not used fairly at Cincinnati four years ago, have doubt less had much to do in bringing about the decided expression for him now. If Pennsylvania declrrc.s for him, he will lie Ihe nominee in the great con test coming. The Legislative Bribery Casee. IIARRISBUUO, Jan. 21.—The Riot Bribery cases go over until the second and third Mondays in March.. When Court met this morning, the case of Charles B. Salter was called and or dered for immediate trial. Mr. Hall, of counsel for defence, op posed trial, and asked for a continuance of the case on the ground that the bill of indictment contains an increased number of counts over that of August, which hail not been properly examined by the defence, owing to a lack of time; that a number of important witnesses for Salter were not present —in fact had not yet been subpoenaed —but the defence was making every possible effort to do so. Judge Pearson said he could see no reason why the case should be post poned, but to make it a fair thing all around he would call Salter to the bar and let him testify regarding the miss ing witness, which was done, the de fendant naming parties in different parts of the State whom he has sum moned to break down the evidence of Foster, of Lehigh. Halter was cross-examined very closely by Mr. Gowen, but did not deviate from his statement in the least. A short and sharp argument then ensued between counsel as to the pro priety of a postponement, and then the Bench was consulted, the result being a statement by Judge Pearson to the effect that Salter would be given till to morrow morning to have his witnesses here, when the trial would begin. Mr. Mann then filed a demurrer to the indictment, and more arguments ensued as to the postponement, the out come being that the demurrer was withdrawn, the defence agreeing to enter pleas in all cast's, on condition that they l>e postponed until March. The Commonwealth was willing, and finally Judge Pearson made the order that pleas in all the cases should lie entered, in order that there can IK* no future wrangle over the indictments, and that all of the cases, including Salter's, shall go over until the two weeks' term of Court, beginning on the second Monday in March. Counsel for the, defence then entered pleas of not guilty. : jtlutlec, P<*«» 2S, Meeting of the Republican County Committee. Committee called to order at 1.30, P.

After the roll had been called, Chair man Robinson announced the object of the meeting and referred to certain im perfections in the registry lists. Mr. Shanor then moved that the Committee proceed to the election of delegate to the State Convention. Mr. M. X. Greer suggested that before the delegates were elected the Committee fir.-t express its choice for President, and that men then be eleet< d as delegates who would represent its views. Mr Shanor withdrew his motion, when Mr. Greer read the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That we but give the ex pression of a large maj »rity of the Re publicans of Butler county by declaring their preference for James G. Blaine as the nominee of the party at the coming National Convention. Resolved, That we hereby instruct our delegates to the State and National Conventions to use all honorable mean to secure the nomination of Blaine for President, and, further, to this <>nd, we especially insist that none but "Blaine men" be elected from this Congressional District to represent u« in the National Convention. The Committee then proceeded to the election of delegates to the State Convention. Messrs. R. W. McKce, R. A.Mifflin, and Robert Storey were nominated for Senatorial delegates, and John M. Greer, Daniel Feidler and (Jen. Pur viancc for Representative delegates. A. vote was then taken, and R. W. McKee, John M.

There are suspicious circumstances which lead to alarm, viz : Crowds of men are collecting at various points, the continuance of organization among the Fusionists, the raising of money to sustain them in their action, the ac tivity of Major John Smith, the hold ing out of Sawyer, who claims to lie Secretary of State, the drilling of se cret clans of armed men, and the in cendiary talk of the Greenback-Labor Chronicle of Auburn that the State House must be taken though it cost a thousand lives. From consultation with the military authorities Gov. Davis became fully convinced of the serious situation, and that the position of Mayor Nash was perfectly sound. He therefore ordered to the State House the Capitol Guards and the Richards Light Infantry, who at one o'clock this morning were there. The Auburn Light Infantry will leave that place for the capitol at 2 o'clock this morning and other military forces will be brought here if necessary. Infor mation of the operations of the Fusion ists comes from reliable men in each county. The design is to take the House. The prompt action of Gov. Davis will avert all trouble. Men are known to be ready at the call of Smith, from Lincoln and Somerset counties, who are to take sleighs across the country. The prompt action of Col. Peakes prevented the movement in Piscataquis county. What Two Tramps Did. • A daring tramp outrage was com mitted near Pinegrove, Schuylkill Co., Pa., last Tuesday afternoon. Two men, named Jonathan Schultz and Jacob Ziegler, were digging a well on the farm of Messersmitb, and had got ten it about twenty feet deep. Schultz was digging at the bottom, while Zieg ler operated the windlass oij the sur face, when three tramps came along the road near by and stopped. One of them asked Ziegler for a chew of to bacco ; Ziegler handed him a plug, and the tramp, after biting off a chew, put the rest in his pocket. Ziegler remon strated and a fight followed, in which all the tramps took part. Ziegler was knocked senseless with a club and rob bed of n silver wate|i and a small amount of money. The tramps then broke up the windlass and threw the pieces, together with the bucket and top.-, dotfo upon Schultz, who was thus imprisoned, with no means of get? ting out. He set up a vigorous yelling for help, but it was an unfrequented spot and there was no response. After some time Ziegler recovered conscious ness and, though badly beaten, njade his way a quarter of a mile to the farm house, 'where he found assistance and sent men to rescue Schultz, who was found to be suffering from a severe scalp wound, caused by the falling timbers. The neighbors organized a hunt for the tramps, but they could no bo found, Important Docia'.on. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.—Judge McKcnnan, in the I'. S. Court this morning, delivered an opinion in the case of John Sherman Hall against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This is a test suit tried in 187H to fix the responsibility for loss by the Pitts burgh riot. \ jury wasdispenscd with and evidence submitted to the Judge to ascertain the facts and apply the law. After reviewing the testimony Judge MeKennan concluded his opin ion as follows: "I'pou the whole ease I am of the opinion, and so find that the loss complained of was caused by lire while the plaintiff's goods were in transit by the defendant within the meaning of the exception in the bill of lading, that the defendant is not shown to have been guilty of any negligence by which the efficiency of the excep tion is in any way impaired, and hence forth the plaintiff is not entitled to re cover." It was admitted at the trial that the plaintiff's goods were des troyed by fire during the riot, and the bilf of lading offered in evidence con tained a clause excepting the liability of the railroad company or freight company for freight lost by fire. THE Chinaman has some prejudices in common with the rest of mankind. For instance, he has an aversion to being hanged. So deep is this aversion that lie generally manages to commit suicide before the fatal moment comes unless he is carefully watched. And he is by no means particular as to the manner in which he takes himself off, UM i. shown in the cape of the one in Oregon, who was to have paid the penalty of a murder upon the gallows, but who cheated justice by strangling bloaself. Com ui u nical ions. Correction. WEFT SINBCPY, Jan. 20. 1880. ssrs. Editor* —Please allow us. through the medium of your paper, to correct some false statements, made by | some unscrupulous parties concerning j our worthy Principal, in the issue of '■ the Eagle, dated January 11. ; The statement that we were prohib i ited from attending the social, on pain |of expulsion, is false. We know i whereof we assert, when we say that i we have a kind aud generous Principal j and, at the same time, one that care- I fully guard-* our highest interest. We ! never saw anyone more willing than ; Prof. Gillillan to "rant a favor, if by so | doing be docs not injure the receiver. For some time previous to the even ing referred to. Dec. 29. the M. E. Church, of this place, had been holding j a protracted meeting. In addition to this, a religious convention was held in the Presbyterian Church, of this place, the week immediately preceding the holidays. The Professor not only gave us permission but insisted on our at tending these meetings, notwithstand ing lie knew, and we were conscious of the fact, that the tendency was to re tard the school work. A numlier of us were at service in the M. E. Church on the evening of Deccmlier 29. and al though no permits to attend the social were granted, a few of our number were there, and the only jienalty im posed was that they, with some others, who had failed to observe study hours, would, at some future time, lie required to remain in their rooms and study while the rest would enjoy a party or a sleigh ride. We firmly believe that had the managers of the supper selected a more appropriate time and shown our Principal the courtesy due him, that all of us would have been permitted to attend. We have, in connection with our institution, a literary organization, known as the Hawthorne Literary Society, which affords us liberal literary advantages. However, persons wish ing to attend the meetings of the circle are permitted to do so, provided they do not allow it to interfere with their school work. During the fall term, sev eral were in regular attendance at these meetings. In a few eases, where stu dents were not doing satisfactory school work, they were prohibited from attending. We do not hesitate in saying that we have kind and proficient teachers, and that we never attended a school where a more thorough and practical knowledge of the branches was im parted. No student ♦•an attend our school without being benefited. We, the undersigned students of the West Sunburv Academy, know of no higher good we can wish this com munity than that Prof. Gillillan and wife mav long hold the positions they now occupy, and we trust they will not only receive the sympathy and support of the (food people of Sunburv and vicinity, but of Butler county.

THE Fissionistd in Maine are simply making a laughing-stock of themselves by holding out longer against the in evitable.

[From Erie Dispatch, Jin. 7.) The walls for the block house over General Wayne's grave on Garrison Hill have reached the second story and are about ready for the roofing. The flag staff is to l>e seen towering up through the timbers but has not yet " been raised to a perpendicular position. It will stand on the identical spot from which arose the ancient staff at the foot of which the old hero desired his body to be buried, which request was carried out to the letter. The base of the new pole will be imbedded in a foundation of masonry, and will last for years. The grave has been encased with a stone wall which is to be sur mounted with a slab. In the erection of i this monument we have then a block 1 house the fac simile of the one in which i Wayne died, his grave and the flag r staff combined in one attraction. > SENATOR BLAINE left Augusta for Washington last Wednesday, having r been detained about six weeks by the quandary of his Republican friends at home. We suppose that he thinks the r time not wasted. Viewed as a piece . of political work, without question as .. to the merits of the cause or the iuor , ality of the methods, Mr. Blaine's r management of the Republican case . throughout the complications has been i admirable. He undertook to carry on - a business which seemed hopeless to , many of his followers. He has pro \ ceeded by well considered steps gain ing ground steadily, and as steadily t forcing his adversaries back from their positions of advantage. He has out -1 witted both the Democratic andUreen ] back leaders. Some of these gentle . men are prone to underestimate the r efficiency of Mr. Blaine's wits as an element to be contended with.
