GAEVIEU) went to Chicago to nom inate s msn for President, and got nominated himself. That is better than going for wool and coming back ebon. ' THE Greenbackers, in National Con vention last week, nominated General James B. Weaver, of lowa, for Presi dent, and E. J. Chambers, of Texas, for Vice President. OEE of the features in the coining Fair to be held in Butler in September nflt. is that all premiums awarded will be peid the parties entitled to them be fore leaving tbe grounds. THE Court is disposing of cases in tbe Quarter Sessions this week with great rapidity. Judge McJunkin is pre siding and Associates Storey and Dodds present. Full proceedings next week. GEM. GAEFIELD has been a member of Congress for near twenty years and yetia comparatively poor, which of it self is a sufficient answer to two of the three charges already made against him by tbe Democrats. GAEHELD was everybody's second choice. He wasn't the first choice sim ply because be was not, formally, a candidate. Everybody, of all parties, mast acknowledge bis ability and con sistency as a public man. THE Mercer County Republicans meet on next Tuesday to nominate their county ticket. The nominations are made under tbe old delegate sys tem, and tbe present County Conven tion will contain Iff I delegates. Ms. GORDON, of Mercer, the other delegate from this district to the Chi cago Convention, ontered tbe Grant ship just in time to go down with it, bsvisg voted (or Grant on tbe last bal lot, that nominated Garfield. GAnnELD'S nomination was a spon taneous and unsought for outburst of popular confidence in him as the man to heal all dissensions and solidify the party for tbe great fight. His own party, from tbe Atlantic to tbe Pacific, and from tbe lskes to tbe gulf recogniz ed bis brains, bis ststesmanship, bis fidelity and his integrity; and bin ene mies cannot deny that he possesses these qualities to an eminent degree. SOME persons are said to take off a fine moss that decorates a grave in one of our Cemeteries and apply it to the graves of their friends. This is af fection for the dead at other peoples expense. WE don't believe there is in public life to-day, in this or any other coun try, an abler, more consistent, more up right man than James A. Garfield. He is in every sense a true representative of this free and enlightened Republic. THE Prohibitionists of the United States will meet in National Conven tion at Cleveland, Ohio, to-morrow, 17th, inst., to nominate a ticket for President and Vice President. Ihe Democrats come next, at Cincinnati next week, where it is feared cold wa ter will be at a discount. ON the 14th of January last, Presi dent Hinsdale, of Hiram College, said to his students, referring to Gen. Jas. A. Garfield: "To-day a man will be elected to the United States Senate, at Columbus, who, when a boy, was once the bell-ringer in this school and after ward its President." And he might have added, "and after that, President of the United States." THE dead-lock at Chicago could not possibly have terminated more happily for the Republican party than it did in the nomination of Gen. Garfield, a man on whom all factions and phases of opinion in the party can unite, and on whom all such have already united. Even the Democrats are compelled to acknowledge his ability, unprecedented popularity and high character as a man who has risen from the most humble sphere in life by his own industry and integrity. , THE Butler Eagle, edited by T hom , as Robinson, the defeated nominee for Congress, and published by his son, E. D. Robinson, ha 3 placed at its mast head the names of all the successful nominees of the late Republican pri maries save that of Hon. J. D. McJun kin. Why Mr. McJunkin's name is left off, is manifest. Both father and son feel very sore over the defeat of the former, and resort to such petty meanness for revenge. Yet they hoist the names of the rest of the ticket, who were elected by the same votes Mr. McJunkin was. "Consistency, thou art a jewel." Blood in this case is thicker than water and a great deal stronger than fidelity to the party.—Pe trolia Record, 12th inst. FOR THE CAMPAIGN. The CITIZEN will be sent to single subscribers from now to the first of January next for 75 cents ; in clubs of four or more, to one postoffice, for fifty cents each. All the important events and matter of what promises to be a very exciting Presidential election will be given the readers of the CITIZEN. Now is the time to commence taking a campaign paper. Friends who interest themselves in extending our circulation will be thanked and remembered. All Looking Fine. Never before have we seen the for est trees dressed in a richer verdure than at present, nor the fields present ing promise of a greater harvest. 'I he wheat fields of Butler county bok tetter than for many years past and a good crop is most promising. The same may be stated of the rye, corn, oats, potatoes, apples, peaches, grapes, small berries, etc. The late rains have revived and restored the meadows and the grass crop, that was generally feared would lie light, will now Is; heavy. In a word, a finer prospect for everything has not been seen in this county for years. DEMOCRATS AT CINCINNATI. This day a week, Wednesday, 23rd inst., the Democrats will meet at Cin cinnati to nominate their candidates for the coming Presidential race. Who they will bo seems uncertain. Tilden all along, it was thought, would again receive the nomination for the Presi dency, but the overthrow of Grant by the the Republican National Conven tion will, we incline to think, affect his chances. They will now naturally look around for their best "dark horse" as the Republicans did. Ilnd Grant been nominated no doubt Tilden would have been. But Garfield's nomination has frightened them, arid they will hes itate before taking Tilden now. READ HIS LIFE. An interesting sketch of the life and wonderful success of James A. Gar field will be found upon the first page of the CITIZEN. It reeds like a romance; but is another illustration of the wis dom and beneficence of our Republican form of Government, the highest hon ors of which are open and free to the humblest. The great secret, however, of Gen. Garfield's success in public life is due to his own toil and study. He has been a great student, and from his own efforts is a man of the most scholar like attainments. It is said that when leaving the Capitol or returning thereto book* were almost always seen in his hands or on his arms. Of how few public men can this be said. He was always well posted on all questions, a ready debator, fine and able speaker, and finally a leader in Congress. Like Lincoln, he owes all to his own indus try, is a man "of the people, by the people, and for the people." The Chi cago Convention, in looking all around found him as the least objectionable "dark horse," as the term went, or man to compromise and heal all differences, as in the easo of Lincoln iri 1880. It was a fortunate selection and there can be but little doubt that he will be elec- Ited next President of these United States. (Eitiasaa: Wnkl*K, P*., 3»n»16» 1880. THE BALLOI ING AT CHICAGO.

After the nomination was announced Mr. Blaine rode to the Capitol in a carriage with (Jeneral Kherman. lie remained in the Senate some three hours, taking active part in the running debates of the afternoon. THE PLATFORM AL>OPTKI>. A long discussion took place on the platform, which was iinally adopted as given below. The Republican party in National Convention assembled, at the end of twenty years since the Federal (gov ernment was first committed to its charge, submits to the people of the United Stales this brief report of its administration. It has suppressed a re bellion which had armed nearly a mil lion of men to subvert the National au thority. It has reconstructed the union of the States with freedom instead of slavery as Its corner stone. It Ims transformed four million human be ings from the likeness of things to the rank of citizens. It has relieved Con gress from the infamous work of hunt ing fugitive slaves, and charged it to set; that slavery dou« not exist. It has raised the value of our paper currency from thirty- :ight per cent, to the par of gold. It has restored upon a solid ba sis the payment in coin for all the Na tional obligations, and has given us u currency absolutely good and legal and equal in every part of our extended country. It has lifted the credit of the Nation from the point where six per cent, bonds sold at K<>, to that where four per cent, bonds are eagerly sought for at a premium. Under its administration, railways have increased from thirty-one thous and miles in 1800 to more than eighty two thousand miles in lK7!t. Our for eign trade has increased from seven hundred millions to eleven hundred and fifty millions in the same time, and our exports, which were twenty millions less than our imports in ISGO, were two hundred and sixty-four mil lions more than our imports in Without resorting to loans, it has since the war closed, defrayed the or dinary expenses of the Government be sides the accruing interest on the pub lic debt and disbursed annually more than thirtv millions for soldiers' pen sions. It has paid $888,000,000 of the public debt, and by refunding the bal ance at lower rates has reduced the anual interest charge from nearly $151,000,000 to less than $■>!»,000,000. All the industries of tbe country have increased, and throughout the en tire country there, is evidence of a coming prosperity greater than we have ever enjoyed. Upon this record, the Republican party asks for the continued confidence and support of the people, and this Convention submits for their approval the following statement of the princi ples and purposes which will continue to guide and inspire its efforts : Ist—We affirm that the work of the last twenty-one years has been such as to commend itself to the favor of the nation, and that the fruits of the costly victories which we have achieved through immense difficulties should be preserved; that the peace regained should be cherished ; that the dissevered Union now happily restored should be perpetuated, and that the liberties se cured to this generation should be transmitted undiminished to future generations ; that tbe order established and the credit acquired should never be impaired ; that pensions promised should be paid ; that the debt so much reduced should be extinguished by the full payment of every dollar thereof; that tbe reviving industries should be further promoted ; that the commerce already so great should be steadily en couraged. 2nd—The Constitution of the United States is a supreme law, and not a mere contract. Out of the con federated States, it made a sovereign Nation. Some powers are denied to the States, but the boundary between the powers delegated and those reserved is to be determined by the National and not the State tribunals. 3rd—The work of popular educa tion is one left to the care of the sev eral States, but it is the duty of tbe National Government to aid that work to the extent of its Constitution d abil ity. The intelligence of the Nation is but the aggregate of the intelligence in the several States, and the destiny of the Nation must Ijc guided, not by the genius of any one State, but by tbe av erage genius of all. 4th—The Constitution wisely for bids Congress to make any laws res pecting an establishment of religcon, but it is idie to hope that tbe nation cau be protected against the influences of sectarianism while each State is ex posed to its domination. We, there fore, recommend that the Constitution be so amended as to lay the same pro hibition upon the legislation of each State, and to forbid the appropriation of public funds to tbe support of secta rian schools. sth—We reaffirm tbe belief avowed iii JB7<;, that the duties levied for the purpose of revenue should so discrimi nate as to favor American labor: that no further grant of the public domain should be made to any railway or other corporation; tbat slavery hav ing perished in the States, its twin barbarity polygamy, must die in the Territories; that everywhere the pro tection accorded to a citizen of Ameri. can birth must be secured to citizens by American adoption; tbat wo es teem it the duty of Congress to devel op and improve water courses and harbors, but insist that further sub sidies to private persons or corpora tions must cease ; that the obligations of the Republic to men who tire served its integrity in the day of bat tle are undiminished by the lapse of fifteen years since this final victory. Their perpetual honor is and shall for ever IH; the grateful privilege and sa cred duty of the American people. <;th—Since the authority to regu late immigration and intercourse be tween the United States and foreign nations rests with the Congress of the United States and its treaty-making powers, tbe Republican party, regard ing the unrestricted immigration of Chinese as an evil of great magnitude, invokes tbe exercise of that power to restrain and limit that immigration by the enactment of such just, human and reasonable provisions as will produce tbat result. 7tli—That the purity and patriot ism which characterizes the earlier ca reer of Rutheford H. Mayes in peace and in war, and which guided the thought of our immediate predecessor to him for a Presidential candidate have continued to inspire him in bis careti as chief executive, and that his tory will accord to bis administration the honors which are due to an efficient, just and courageous fulfilment of the public business, and will honor its in terpositions between the people and the proposed partisan laws. We charge upon the Democratic party the habitual sacrifice of patriot* ism and justice to a supreme, insatia ble lust of office and patronage ; and to obtain the possession of National and State governments and the con trol of place and position, they have obstructed all efforts to promote the purity and to conserve the freedom of suffrage ; have devised fraudulent cer tifications and returns; have labored to unseat elected members of Congress, to secure at all hazards the vote of a majority of States ill the House of Representatives; have endeavored to occupy by force and fraud the places of trust given to others by the people of Maine and rescued by the courage in the action of Maine's patriotic sons ; have, hy methods vicious in principle and tyranical practice, attached par tisan legislation to appropriation Li 11 si upon whose passage the very move ment of the government depends* have crushed the rights of the individ ual, have vindicated the principles and sought the favor of the rebellion against tbe tuition, and have endeav ored to obliterate the sacred memories of the war and to overcome its inesti mably good results, freedom and indi vidual equality ; and we affirm to be the duty and the purpose of the lle publican party to use all legitimate means to restore to all the States of this I'nion the most perfect harmony which may be practicable, and we sub mit to tbe practical, sensible people of the United States to say whether it would not be dangerous to the dearest interest of our country at the time to surrender tbe administration of the National Government to a party which seeks to overthrow the existing policy under which we are so prosperous, and thus bring destruction and confusion where there is now order, confidence and hope. The Republican party, adhering to a principle affirmed by its last National Convention of respect for the constitu tioua) rule covering appointments, adopts the declaration of President llaycs, tbat the reform of the civil ser- vice should lie thoroughly radical and complete. [Applause.] To this end it demands the co-operation of tbe legis lative with the executive department of the Government, and that Congress shall so legislate tbat fitness, ascer tained by proper practical tests, shall admit to the public service. The tenure of administrative officers, except those through which the distinctive policy of party in power is carried out, shall be made permanent during good behav ior, and tbat tbe power of removal for cause, with due responsibility for the good conduct of subordinates shall ac company the power of appointment. A Sound Horror. Some time between half past eleven and a quarter to twelve o'clock, of last Friday night, the steamer Stonington, of the Stonington line, while on her wav to New York ran into the steamer Narragansett, of the same line. A dense fog prevailed. Both steamers were loaded with passengers. The Nar ragansett was struck amidships on the starboard side and raked, it is said, clear to the wheel house. A flood of water poured in and swamped the steamer. In less than five minutes she sank to the main deck and grounded. Shortly after tire broke out, from tbe explosion of the gas tank, it is believed, ami iu a few moments wrapped the whole boat in flames. Terrible and heartrending scenes occurred. Soon all who could escape were straggling in the water. The Stonington sent out boats and rescued a number. The steamer City of New York also assist ed materially in saving life. Of 350 on board, it is believed that 50 perished. THE ESTRAY LAW. We publish the following synopsis of the law relating to strays, as a gen eral answer to frequent inquiries for in formation in reference to it: Any person taking up a stray must give notice to the township clerk, with marks, within four days; neglect to do so subjects him to a fine of $5. Neglect to give notice to the owner, if known, works a forfeiture of all damages, and entitles the owner to the stray, with out recompense to the party injured. The township clerk for making entry of strays shall receive for each bead of horse kind, 50 cents; each head of cat tle, 25 cents ; for every sheep, 6 cents, to IH: paid by the person delivering said notice. If the owner does not ap pear within ten days after a stray shall bo taken up, it must be adver tised in one paper published in the county ; if no paper is published in the county, then by six handbills, written or printed. If the owner does not ap pear within sixty days after advertise ment has been made, the person taking up the stray can make application to a Justice of the Peace for a warrant to a constable to sell it. The constable must give ten days' notice, iu three or more public places in the township, and after sale he must make return to to the justice, who, after payment of all reasonable charges, damages and cost of keeping tbe stray, shall pay over the surplus, if any, to the county treasury. If tbe owner shall appear within one year after sale, and prove ownership, the said justice, or any other in the county, shall certify the same to the county treasurer, who shall pay to the owner the whole amount of the surplus. If the owner does not ap pear within the year be is debarred from all rights in the matter. In March 185H, the provisions of the stray law were extended to mules. Death of LUCIUB Oa^ood. Lucius Osgood, the author of the widely known Osgood's American Readers, died on Monday morning, 7th inst., at the residence of his father-in law, Isaac Dickson, in New Castle. The news of his dirath was a surprise to everybody out side of th«' circle of his nearest friends, for, although it was known for some tiino that he was iu feeble health, it was not generally un derstood that his condition was critical. Mr. Osgood was born in I'eaehain, Vt., April 10, 1H1!(. His parents were of the oldest Puritan families of New Kngland, and his parental ancestors being descended front one of the pil grims who canto in the Mayflower. He was essentially a self-made man, his education, which he received at the academy in his native town, being achieved by his own exertions, his widowed mother being unable to give him aid. lie began teaching at tbe age of sixteen, and for several years he taught in the winter time and at tended the academy during the sum mer, paying his expenses out of tbe earnings of the previous winter. How thoroughly bo did bis work as a stu dent may be inferred from tbe fact that when be graduated, be carried olf tbe lirst honors of his class. H« always had a taste for elocution, in which art h<: excelled, and it was this preference no doubt tbat led to tit" publication of his Readers, which have attained so great popularity. When about twenty-one years of ago he came to New Castle, and for a short time he taught elocution in the academy at Normal Glenn. Subse <|ix'tly lie removed to Pittsburgh, and was the prinoipal of the Fourth Ward public school of that oity for several years. In IM.'II b< - began to prepare his Headers for publication, and tlt«?y were Issued from the prcs* a short time afterwards. OI the excellence of these books it is not neccessary to speak, as they have been used for years in almost every public school in Western Penn sylvania, and have received the appro bation of tl|c foremost educators in the land. The publication of these books was so remunerative, that about the year JHIJO Mr. Osgood was encouraged to undertake the work of founding a publication bouse, of which be should be the manager. Accordingly he asso ciated himself with Mr. A. H lOnglish. and a large building was erected on Fourth Ave, Pittsbugh, and the firm of A. II English A Co., iu a short time became the largest school book publishers west <»r the Allegheny mountains. In IHtiH the building in which the business was carried on, together with the valuable machinery it contained, was destroyed l»y fire, entailing a loss upon tbe owners of over $50,000. They set to work again to rebuild soon afterwards, Mr. Osgood drawing all tbe plans and superintending the work oil the building himself. A'fairs seemed to move on prosperously until two or three years ago, when financial re. verses set in, and the accutnulaaion of a busy life were swept away.—/>«»«- rrncr. (Juurili'in. According to one of our town at torneys, an oil tank and a bouse are two different things in law, one is a bouse and the other an "erection." ' Mil)balii School IUMII: iite. Eau Claire, June 10, 1880. A very interesting and profitable Sabbath School Institution was held at Farmington, Pa., June 8 anil ft. The exercises were good throughout. The music wa- all that could be de sired. As to the speaking, we never heard it excelled at a similar gathering. We had a very good attendance on Tuesday, but on Wednesday we must have had from 1,000 to 1,200. On the second day we went into a grove near town. The Grant and Maple Furnace schools did themselves great credit by coming out in handsome style, and en mass. The following topics were dis cussed : "Who should be Sunday school scholars?" "The practical bearing of the S. S. on the interests of social man ?" "The duty of the Sunday school in the Temperance Re form?" "What official relation, if any, should the Pastor sustain to the S. S?" "What qualifications are re ally essential to success in Sunday school teaching, and how secure them?" "How enlist the masses in Sunday school work ?" "Should the Catechism be taught in the Sunday school, if so to what extent?" "llow conduct the opeuing and closing ex ercises of the Sunday school?" "The model Sunday school." "Can Sunday schools be conducted successfully in the rural districts through the winter seasons?" "The faithful Sunday school teachers reward." . "Sunday school literature and music." "Why is so much of our Sunday school teach ing unprofitable ?" "Are we, as Christions, under obligatians to attend Sunday school?" "The Sunday school and our country." The following ministers were pres ent, nearly all of whom participated in the exercises of the Institute : lievs. Thompson, McElree, Coulter, Adams, Foster, Glenn, Crawford, Clyde, Graham, Miller, Lusher, Mc- Crearv, Robertson, Hovis, Gilfillan and the writer. We had a children's and youth's meeting on the 9th, at 2 P. M. We think the Institute from first to last a decided success. REV. J. L. STBATTON. —The toadies to be most recently fooled by a bogus English lord are those of Columbus, Ohio. He called himself Lord Arundel, and he was welcomed at once to fashionable homes though he was plainly an uneducated cockney.
