ONE of the soundest indications of recovery from a period of business de pression is renewed activity in legiti mate real estate transactions. There may be, it is true, a speculative ai tivitv in this, as in other njieeies of property. But when the sales are largely for cash, and when men noted for their shrewdness and caution, who buy only for permanent investment, are securing good properties at advanc ing figures, it is safe to conclude that business is in :t fairly healthy condi tion and the outlook propitious. SINCE it has become evident that the third term movement has spent its force, the Republicans in the Southern States are expressing themselves strongly in favor of the nomination of Mr. Sherman, and several delegates from the South will probably go to Chicago pledged to support him.

WILLIAM ALAND, Merchant Tailor, has just opened the largest line of woolen- for men and boys wear ever offered in butler. THE conflict in Maine is finally over. The Fusion Legislature has said good bye and gone home, with, however, a threat to return in August, which it will hardly do. The whole State of Maine will feel better now that the disturbance is over. There has not lieeu any very serious danger of blood shed at any time, but the uncertainty was such that business has been un settled to a disastrous degree and the patience- of the ]>eople was entirely worn out.

"THE mild winter now in progress," writes Mr. I'roctqr, "seems to be re garded by many as necessarily un healthy, though" 1 believe the death rate does not at present justify that impression. We often hear in Eng land the proverb.

THE winter which is so neglecting us here in America continues to cut up high oldjinks across the water. The recent thaw has been followed by another cold wave, the relative in tensity of which, as compared with the cold of previous winters, may be judged from the fact that Lake Zurich in Switzerland is frozen over, an event which "has occurred three times before in the present century. The same dispatch which relates this fact states also that Lakes Lorat, Xeufcbatel, and Beeune, and the river Arve, all like wise in the land of William Tell, are also frozen. ON Saturday evening, the 24th tilt., a three-year-old child of (ireer Mc- Candless, of Coiinoquenessing town ship, met its death under the following circumstances: Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Candless had gone to the barn, and the child following them was told to go back as it was too cold for him to be out. He went back to the fire to warm himself and while so doing his apron caught fire. He ran into another room, where his grandmother was, who extinguished the flames, badly burning her hands in doing so, bat the child must have breathed in some of the fire, as it died next day.

AFTER a lapse of two-and-thirty years starving Erin once more stretches out her emaciated hands for relief to wards America where so many mil lions of her children have in the in terval homes. It is rather un fortunate that political agitators should have tried to make an expression of America's sympathy with a starving jieople appear like an indorsement of their own political schemes. With the latter the great majority of the citizcnß of this country have little sym pathy, while comparatively only a few would deem it just or expedient to promote them by financial aid; but for a suffering people America's sym pathy is accustomed to come from the wuIT Bt> fruuj tfa; boiirt. A BTTLER county correspondent writes to correct the statement of The Philadelphia Time* that Messrs. (ireer, Fiedler and McKee. the dele gate- to the Republican State Conten tion. are (irant men.

"they 1 are not goiug to the convention to Join in any hostile movement toward : him." That little explanation will | doubtless apply to many Blaine dele gates to the State Convention, and it i is rhe source of the widespread appre ! hension that somehow or other things won't go exactly as the party wishes j them to go. \»H i* (lie L ime ITo buy Carpets: now is the time to I buy Sheetings; now is the time to buy ! all kinds of Goods, at RLTTEK & R ALSTON'S.
