—England has a new pest, the tipu

The catalogue of the Witherspoon
Institute, ol this place, just out, shows a sum

see no reason why the institution should not

One of our town millers says that
Red Winter wheat makes better flour than any
other that can be raised in this county. As
there are undoubtedly many kinds ot wheat
raised in the county, we should like to hear
from some of our farmer friends in the different
parts of the county on the subject.
The Court House officials in the
several counties of this State have arranged for
a grand reunion, to come off at Bedford Springs
on September 4th. The idea of bringing about
this gathering was first suggested by the Pro
thonotarr of Clarion county, and it is altogeth
er probaole that the affair will prove a success.
The Purvis Brothers, of this place,
are doing a large business in the manufacture of

—A swindler has been selling to

—We hope that the two cheese fac
tories In tbia county will have a full display of

9 —Among the productions of this
county, ono of the largest is that of wool, and
we see no reason whv a large woolen mil), one
that would employ three or four huudred hands
would not pay here. A paper mill also, would,
we think, be a profitable investment, but there
does not seem to be enough capital in town for
anyone to engage in either enterprise.
—Still another instance of the vio
lent and unlawful search of an American mer
chant vessel is reported in the_ case of the
schooner George Washington, which cleared in
ballast from Baltimore for a Jamaica port for a
cargo of fruit*, aud on July 5 was stopped and
searched on her outward voyage by a Spanish
war steamer some fifteen miles from the coast
of Cuba.
The shadows of coming events
continue to creep across the face of English pol
itics. The announcement that a committee has
been formed within the Liberal party to carry
04 a propaganda of agitation, and tbat a chief
point iu iu programme is the abolition of the
nereditarv peerage and the substitution of an
elective Senate for the present House of Lords,
is full of significance.
—The census takers have found a
locality In New Jersey where women scctn to
torget to die. Some girls eighty or a hundred

if his little bcarl would brenk because his talhcr
bad boxed his enrs for throwing stones at liis

—lt is said that the average con
sumption of wheat per year for each human
being in this country is bve bushels. The 50,-
000 inhabitants of this couuty would, at this c«.
tiniate consume 250,000 bushels per year. Sure
ly Butler county, which has about 500,(XX) acres
of land and a'n agricultural people, should
bread itself, though we suppose that more mon
ey has, of late years, gone out of the county for
flour than for any other article.
—A useful hint to cooks was given
at a recent sanitary convention in Grand R■ p
ids, Michigan. It was pointed out tbat by add-,
iug eusar to sour frnits during llie cooking pro
cecs, tbe greater part of the cane sugar was
converted by the aid of the acid into giape su
gar, which does not possess half the swcelcuing
power. By cooking the fruil first, and then ad
ding the sugar to nn agreeable sweetness, a very
great deal of sugar might lie saved.
—An Ohio man informs a local pa

January Ist, 1980, to June iJOih, 1880, 28 71 in

We presume the above to be considerably larger
than the average annual rainfall ol the locality,
though we have no data to show what tlic aver

States is staled to be t>oin 27 lo 45 inches.
—William Painter, a prominent oil
producer and wealthy citizen of Franklin, wa
killcd 011 Wednesday. He was assisting to draw
a Mt of heavy tools from his drilling well, when
the tng band that controls the bull-wheel broke,
and Mr. Painter, in attempting to use the brake

—lt is estimated that the wheat crop
of ibis county, for this year, will reach 300,000
bo'hels. With tbe improved machinery that
our millers arp putting in their mills they can
make as good flour as can be made any
i where, and there is no reason now why our
county should not now bread itself. Our mil
lers sometimes complain of the quality of the
wheat raised in this county; they and the wheal
growers should try to remedy this by exhibiting
and comparing their goods at the coining coun
ty fair.

—The silver glut is becoming quite
a serious problem lor the Government. The
San Fraucisco mint is overflowing with buzzard
dollars, and application has been made for the
transfer of f2,000,000 east. This will involve at
the present rates of transportation an expense
of #20,000, and as there is au immense amount
of unclrculataUe silver already in store at Wash

country poormaster to be rid of a pauper, tak

that every accession of a new degraded crimiual
makes tlic old degraded criminal wo'sc ; and
that when a man of grod education, from good
society, goes into prison lie nukes the harden

of reforming the hardened oue« is for the real

The State Census—How tho Popula
tion has Increased in the Differ
ent Counties.
The accompanying table of census
returns shows " approximately the
growth of Pennsylvania during the
last ten years. In most cases the fig
ures used in the table were copied
from the papers filed by enumerators
with the Prothonotaries at the various
county seats. In other instances the
e. timates of the county papers are
£iven, the estimates beiug based upon
partial returns. The table also con
tains the official return by counties of
the population in 1870, the increase
since 1870, and a column showing the
percentage of increase. There are 67
counties in the State. Of these Phila
delphia leads, Allegheny follows, then
comes Lancaster, Schuylkill, Berks
and Luzerne, all of which count more
than 100,000 people. But three or four
counties it will be seen have a greater
increase than Butler.

* Lackawanna was formed out of
parts of Luzerne. At the last census
Luzerne's population was 169,615.
How many of these went with the
new county is not known. The gain
in both counties, 33,085, is added to
the total of gains.
fDecrease in Venango, 4,214.
It will be observed that rapid
growth ran through the counties in a
very streaky manner. McKean county,
with its phenomenal gain of 382 per
cent. ; tells the statistical story of the
oil strikes. Westmoreland's spur was
caused by the development of the coke
industry. The opening of great coal
fields in Clearfield sent that section
ahead with a healthful boom. Venan
go's flat fall is oasily explained when
one remembers that at the time of the
taking of the last census tbe oil fever
was at its height and that mushroom
cities that then containd 8,000 or 10,-
000 people have gone out of existence.
Blair county owes its full figures to
the go-ahead city of Altoona, which
grew at the rate of 88 per cent. Dela
ware county finds that the city of
Chester and its suburban boroughs
had much to do with placing It so
high on the list, while Lancaster,
Berks, Lycoming, Dauphin, Erie, Lu
zerne aud Lackawanna have been sim
ilarly helped to the front. The average
growth of the agricultural counties is
shown to be about ten per cent., and it
is seen that few of the mountain coun
tries except in the coal and oil regions,
have passed ten per cent. The gain in
Chester county, seven percent., shows
the steady progress of those subruban
farming sections, offering a contrast to
the feverish trot of McKean. Lumber
and oil have helped Klk surprisingly,
and old York's energetic steu is a mat
ter of interest Cambria, Uutler aud
other counties can claim a separate
Law Judge, having more than is ne
ee'ssary, 40,000, for that purpose.

ATLANTIC CITV. July 14. 1880.
DEAB LlST—After a number of days the land
breeze changed to-day to the cool wind off the
ocean. The great heat in the cities caused the
people to still flock to this resort. The hotels
are crowded to their utmost capacity. The pro
prietors of the various hostelriea have at last
awakened to the demands of the times. And
the principal houses are now running coaches
to and from the trains, also to tbe be: ci. This
was something that has long been wanted here.
Haturday evening Zimmermen's Juvenile Opera
Troupe give a performance of "Fatinitza" at
the Hotel Albion. It is jnst such enterprises as
this that has made this Hotel so successful. It
has opened the eves and purses of the other hotel
men. Mr. Lentz already talks of an addition of
150 rooms more to the present accomodations,
to be ready for the opening of next season.
He ceitaiuly has reason to be proud of what he
has already done.
Improvements keep on nteadily. There was a
time when nothing was done during the season.
Tbe greatest improvement is at the lower end
of the Island, and it is only proper to give
honor to whom honor is due—to the projectors
of the Philadelphia and Atlantic City Rralwav
Company. The property-owners of the lower
end of Atlantic City owe at least a testimonial
of thanks, as well as all the assistance they can
give to the Narrow gauge Road, for it is owing
to that ltoad and its owners that the improve
ments which have been made since 1877 have
been carried out. To any one who remembers
the dreary waste which used to exist in the
neighborhood of the old Excursion House at
that time, and than see the many handsome cot
tages that have been built there, making '-the
desert bloom like the rose." it tells its own
tale. Furthermore, the assessment of the
whole Island in 1877 was less than $600,000,
while in 1880 it has increased to nearly 11,500,-
000, or two-and-a-half times in three years.
The greater part of thiß increase comes from
the improvements at the lower end, which have
been stimulated bv the Nariow gauge Road.
In addition to these improvements the Nar
row gauge by its completion, made a liealty
competition with the old road, thereby reducing
the fares to a reasonable rate, rendoring a ser
vice to tbe traveUng public which they have
eargerly accepted, as is shown by the increased
volume of travel to the "City by the Sea."
Under the management of Messrs. W. H.
Gatzman and Ellis Clark, experienced railroad
men, with the aid of their efficient and reliable
assistants, the road has beeu put in
order. The passenger equipment is first-class
in all respects; with the two new locomotives
lately built by the Baldwin Works they cau
reach the seashore in seventy minutes if neces
sary ; but, believing that the pullic demands
safety with speed, rather ft.an reckless haste,
they make their time 100 minutes.
Arrangements have been Perfected by which
all their trains will he shortly equipped with a
powerful automatic brake, thus adding to the
safety of their passengers.
The many who are now able to spend three
days at the seashore for the small sum of ono
dollar for round ticket—thanks to the Narrow
Gauge—should show thoir appreciation of bene
fits conferred by according to this road a gener
ous share of thoir patronage.
The weather has been warm, but not unpleas
antly so ; the bathing is excellent, music good,
etc."
—From Simla the news of the calam
ity to the English in Afghanistan, dressed in
its official form, is that "General Burrows has
been severely defeated." But Major General
Primrose, who is at Candahar—that is, only
eighty miles from the field of battle —says
bluntly, "General Burrows' force is annihila
ted." General Primrose probably knew what
his words meant, and as he certainly could have
no disposition to exaggerate the fact —for part
of the responsibility of this event talis upon him
—and without any of that official consideration
of public opinion which softens defeats and
magnifies victories, it is probable that his is tbe
accurate statement, and that the fugitives coin
ing into Candahar "in driblets" are the demor
alized crowd of non-combatants tiiat goes with
the army.

LIFE OF GENERAL JAMES A. GARFIELD.
Tbo well known publishing house of Hubbard
BIOS., Philadelphia, have iu preparation, and
will soon issue, the life of General James A.
Garfield, written by his comrade in arms ami
personal friend. General J. 8 Brisbin, of tho
regular army Tho career of our distinguished
candidate has been rarely equaled iu points of
romantic interest, and the more closely it is stu
died tlic more inspiring it appears. It furnishes
material for a volume of deep and permanent
interest and valuo. We are glal tint its prepa
ration has been pi toed in hands so competent.
Tne brilliant qualities of Gounral Urisbia, both
as a soldier ana an author, are well known, and
his personal relations to General Garfield are
such as will give to his narrative the utmost full
ness and authority of statumft'it. It will be a
book of more than pasn.. rt interest, and iu this
respect widely different from ordinary campaign
literature. It will be sold only by subscription,
and must meet with a very large sale.

M*-SIOO positively forfeited if « injuria the elothea, or will not do everything claimed.
First, put the white clothes in a tub of water, only made warm enough to be comfortable
for the hands. Then take one piece out at a time on the wash-board, rub the Soap lightly
over it, roll it up and put it back into the same tub, and so on with each piece until all
have the Soap rubbed on them. Then go away and let them soak at least twenty minute#,
without touching them, when tho dirt will all be loosened, and a very little rubbing on
the wash-board, out of that one suds, will make them perfectly clean, being particular to
turn each piece while washing so as to get at the seams. Then wash lightly ou the wash
board, through a lukewarm rinse-water (without any Soap,) BO as to get the dirty auds out.
Then put through blue-water, and on the line, vnthoul tcaiding ur boiling a tingle piect.
Afterward put flaunels and colored pieces to soak, aud wash them exactly the same way.
It is important not to heat the wash-water iu a tin, brass or copper kettle. A tea-kettle
will heat enough water for a large wash with this Soap.
