XJBLOCK, of Cedar Rapids, lowa, paid his old home here a visit last week, for the purpose of seeing his aged mother and friends. Rev. N. has many old friends here who are always pleased to see him. Ho.v. LAFAYETTE S. FOSTER, of Connecticut, died on Sunday week last, aged 74. The blood of Captain Miles Standish, of Pilgrim fame, ran in his blood. He was acting Vice Pres ident during Johnson's administra tion. • WE shall have to wait till the first Monday in January to tell how Maine went. Then the Legislature will can vass the result. Meanwhile the Dem ocrats will claim everything, of course, and the Republicans will concede noth ing- JUDGE AGNEW spoke for Garfield and the Republicans in Pittsburgh yes terday. After twenty seven years on the bench the Judge says nothing but the importance of the occasion could have induced him to make a political ad dress. IN answer to an inquiry from a friend in Allegheny township, we would state, that the election of that township this year will he held at the old place, unless the voters of the same hold an election in the meantime aud change the place, according to the order of Court made in the matter. THE result of the Maine election may be summed upasfollows: The Re publicans have secured the Legislature, certain j a Tj nited States Senator therefore certaiu ; three Congressmen, certain, and the Governor in doubt. The greenbackers have secured two Congressmen. The Democrats have secured .000,- 000,000. Hence an exchange remarks, they are the cipher party anyhow. ONE of the greatest political meet ings of this campaign came off yester day, 28th, at Warren, Ohio, at which Gen. Grant, Gen. Arthur, Senator Conkling and other distinguished Re publicans, were present. Grant is to preside and Conkling to speak. A wigwam, capable of seating 20,000 persons, was erected for the occasion. On the day previous the above parties visited Gen. Garfield at Mentor. "TUESDAY next following the first Monday of November," is the lan guage of the new Constitution o f this State in fixing the time for holding our elections. The Constitution of the United States uses the same words, and this is perhaps the reason they •were introduced in framing our new State Constitution. But who can give a good reason for that phraseology ? Why a Tuesday following a Monday, instead of a Tuesday itself? ALTHOUGH the election is at hand, and harmony needed in this county, the Eagle still keeps up its disorganiz ing efforts and abuse of RepublicaLs better than itself, Mr. Miller stated at Franklin just what we stated, and we know his opinion of the Eagle man, and that he does not thank him for his annoyance. It is now ascertained, for certain, that Mr. Robinson published a direct falsehood in reference to a ma jority of the County Committee. But we will drop there matters for the present FINE PEACHES —Last week Mr. j William Kennedy of Peon to.\n=hip j brought to our office some of as large , and fine peaches as we have seen anvwhere. They were from budded j fruit trees aud very fine. A great im- < provment has been going on in our county in tbe matter of fruit, and Penn township particularly has taken the j lead in budded peaches. SENATOR EDMCNDS, one of the ablest; of that august body states the attitude j aud intention of the Democratic party towards rebel claims as follows: "I he Democrats in Congress have tried : time after time to repeal the distinction in respect of claims of loyal and disloy-1 al persons, and they bave bills now pending in tbe Senate to effect that ob- j ject and they will effect it by a solid or nearly solid Democratic vote the mo- j ment they get possession of all the de-, partments of the Government." Let such a bill be passed and then tbe country will have to pay for every rail burned, (and a good many that were not,) when Sherman marched down to the sea, and for the killing of the bloodhounds that chased and tore our escaping pris oners. S. H. MILLER,- the Republican candi date for Congress in the 26th Penn sylvania district, was born in Cool Spring township, tour miles north of Mercer, and lived aud labored on the old homestead, with the exception of six years spent at college, until his majority. He graduated from West minister in tbe elass of 18G0, and in August "following went to Kentucky, expecting to make that State his home, but he left there early in the spring of 18ft lon account of the prejudice then existing there against Northern men. In 1862 he commenced the publication oi the Mercer Dispatch, the paper at the time having a circulation of less than 700, but by industry, persever ance and pluck, he extended its circu lation to 2,400, and disposed of the paper in 1870, when he commenced the practice of law. His career as an attorney has been quite successful atfd he to-day has a practice that is second to that of no other attorney in tbe county. In addition to his other avocations, Mr. Miller has taken an active part in political affairs since 1862. In every campaign since that year he has ac tively participated, and it is owing largely to his executive ability and good political management that the Republican party of Mercer county is in such a prosperous and harmonious condition. In political discussion he gives aud expects to receive hard blows ■ but is always courteous toward po litical opponents, and discusses the issues of the campaign without malice or slander. Ilis loyalty to Republican principles is paramount to every other consideration, and although he has al ways heretofore refused to go out of his county to make a canvas, there is ' scarcely a school district in the county that he has not spoken in. For years he has held up the Republican banner at home, and now that the Republicans of his native county bave an opportu nity to testify of his work we predict that they will give bim a larger majori- ty in November than any Republican has ever heretofore received.— Mercer 1 Dispatch. HARMONY FAIR. The Harmony Fair opened on yes terday and continues to-day and to morrow. A large attendance is ex pected. We hope our friends down there may be favored with fair weather this year. REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. Wednesday evening last a large and interesting Republican meeting was held in the Court House, this place. Thomas Hays, Esq , of Fairview Boro. was chosen President, with Thomas B. White, Esq, of Butler township, Abraham Martin, of Oakland township, W. S. Waldron, Esq., of Forward township, S. M. Seaton, of Marion township and Gen. George W. Reed, Butler, as Vice Presidents, and editors of Republican press of Butler as Sec retaries. The meeting was then addressed by Hon. J. D. McJuukin, Gen. John N. I'urviance, Capt. George W. Fleeger and Hon. John M. Thompson. The Citizens Cornet Band of this place furnished the music. After three cheers for Garfield and Arthur and the the whole Republican ticket, the meet ing adjourned. PETROLIA. A fine meeting came ofT at Petrolia on Thursday evening last. Several marching clubs were in attendence, among them the Butler boys, in their fine uniforms. The night procession is said to have been grand. S. W. liar ley, Esq., presided, and speeches were made by J. D. McJunkin, S. 11. Miller and J. M. Thompson, Esq's. Not less than 800 fully equipped marched in the clubs. The proceedings did credit to the party and to all participating. Petrolia WBS brilliantly illuminated for the occasion SUNBURY The meeting ai Sunburv on Satur day evening last, was large and en thusiastic, and was addressed by George A. Black, A. <i.

Our fellow townsmen, Hon. John M. Thompson and Charles A. Sullivan, Esq., started on Saturday last for the State of Indiana, to take part in t lie exciting election contest now going on in that State. They go at the invita tion of the National Republican Com mittee and are well prepared to give the hoosiers a sample of old Pennsyl vania Republicanism and eloquence. Being stalwarts in the cause we ex pect to hear of much good resulting from the part they are to take in plac ing Indiana in the column of Republi can States. BUTLER FAIR-GREAT SUCCESS. We have seen it stated that some of the Fairs of adjoining counties this year were not as good as usual. This cannot be said of the Butler Pair held last week. It was so much of an im provement on former ones as to be spoken of by all present as a great suc cess. The number of persons present on last Wednesday far exceeded that of any Fair ever held here. It showed what an cfTort in the right direction will do. If continued it can be still further enlarged. As Fairs are good in their object aud tendency we hope to see this done in the future. Some new features presented them selves at the Fair last week. There were many here from neighboring counties with their stock, fruits, etc. This was one new feature ; another was, the diminished interest taken in the racing, and the greater interest be stowed upon-the really agricultural parts of the Fair. On former occasions the race track was the centre of at traction. Not so last week. This we think commendable and to be noted as worthy of imitation in the future. Re ally the trotting and pacing of fast horses, brought in from all parts of the State, is no part of an agricultural Fair and should in fact be kept separate and apart from them. —They but di vert attention from more worthy ob jects. We cannot in detail give the names of all exhibitors or articles exhibited, not finding it possible to procure them. The premium list will have to be con sulted for the names of the successful competitors. We can only make refer ence, from memory, to a few exhibits that came to our knowledge. The cattle upon the ground far ex ceeded in number and variety that of any former Fair. Among the principal owners of these were Dr. Allison, of Kittanning, who brought over some thirty head of fine Alderneys, l)ur hams and other pure bred cattle. Dr. Allison's exhibit was generally ad mired and he took away with him, we understand, some SBS in premiums. Mr. James K. Dain, of Buffalo township, this county, also had a large and fine collection of blooded Jerseys upon the ground. He also received premiums and made some sales, sell ing one hfeifer for $125. We heard of a Jersey calf being sold by same party for $25. Mr. Dain had 1" head pres ent. Mr. Samuel W. Crawford, of Jeffer son township, bad his tine thorough bred Durhams and other cattle upon the ground, which were much admired. Mr. Moore Magoffin of Mercer county, also had some very fine Jerseys and other stock upon the ground. As to the horse stock on exhibition, we were not able, for want of time, to visit that department and learn names of owners, etc. It is said that it was extensive aud very good. Sheep and hogs were perhaps not so large as at former Fairs, but were choice and of the best kinds. Of poultry there was a very fine and large display, that department being a point ot great attraction. Of fruits there never was so great and good a display. Apples in particu lar were in large quantities and well arranged upon the stands. Among the principal exhibitors of fine varieties, we learned the names of Mr. James Stephenson, of Summit township, W. H. il. Riddle, Esq., of this place, Mr. E. M. llodgers, of Lawrence county and Mr. Deiniuger aud Robert Mckee of Butler township. Potatoes were also very fine and well represented, aniouf? those having fine collections were Mr. Bortmass of this place aud Mr. John Critcblow of Forward township. All the other veg etables, garden and field, were "too numerous to mention." Of wheat there was a greater variety preseut than ever before, Some 2!) spec mens were said to be in that depart ment. Coru, seeds, etc., were plenty and fine. The machinery, for farming purpos es, was much larger and in improved kinds, than ever was seen at our Fairs. The interest taken ,by our farmers in the new machines for mowing, reaping, threshing, planting and gathering of grains, hay and other farm products, is much to be encouraged. It shows the improvement going on among the farm ers of Butler county,now oneof the best counties of the State. The Messrs. J. G. & W. Campbell, Jackson & Mitchell, Berg & Cypher and Niggle Bros., of this place, and Mr. Eli /Ceig ler of Harmony, we believe were the principal exhibitors of the fine machin ery on the ground. Floral Hall perhaps should have been mentioned the first, as the ladies are always entitled to precedence. Of this department, wo can say it nad its usual if not increased attraction in all manner aud kinds of handiwork, by needle, pen and pencil. The central pyramid of flowers was finer than ever before. The bread and butter part was very inviting. This Hall we might say should be enlarged to twice its present size. There were many other attractions, articles and things at the PaiF, but as we write from memory we have doubt less overlooked much. A number of sales we learn were made, and taken altogether we think the occasion has done muck good towards inspiring an increase in improvinerjt fils ) bene fiting the people of our county in a sjo-. cial way. The premiums were prompt? ly paid upon the ground. The Butler Cornet Band furnished music for tha. Fair. THE ELECTORS. Under the names of Garfield and Arthur will be found in the CITIZEN this week a correct list of the names of the Pennsylvania Electors. As these are the persons wc vote for, and not for Garfield aud Arthur direct, it is important that the names of tbe Elec tors be correct. It will be recollected that four years ago serious difficulties arose in the returns from some of the States as to the names and qualifica tions of some of their Electors. And while we have this mode of electing our President, these Electors are an important part of the machinery. The list for this State has been carefully revised by the Chairman of the State Committee and are believed to be cor rect as to names and all fully qualified to serve in that capacity. VENERABLE BISHOP SIMP3ON. Taken 111 in the Midst of His Serm jn —President Hayes Present— A Thrilling Scene. The announcement in yesterday morning's papers that President Ilayes would attend services in the First Methodist Church, on Powell street, to hear IJishop Simpson preach, at tracted a great crowd to that temple. The old pioneer church of the city, spa cious as it is, was crowded from the vestibule to the steps of the alter, jntn dreds of chairs being placed in the aisle and around the chancel. Bishop Simp son arrived early, walking up the aisle alone and kneeling devoutly for some time in silent prayer in his pulpit. Then he sat quiet'y with a large over coat buttoned closely about him. Be side him iu the pulpit sat Rev. R. L. Harford, the pastor of the church, and Rev. H. B. Sheldon of the same de nomination. At 11 o'clock the Presi dent and Mrs. Hayes, accompained by Captain Charles Goodall and Mrs. Goodall, drove up to the church door in a covered carriage and alighted. As thev entered the church the audience arose and stood decorously while they were being seated. Tbe party was shown to the pew of Annis Merrill, which was reserved for their use. Mrs Hayes, after the old-*ashioned manner, retained to this day only by the most devout of the sect, knelt in the pew with Hier back to the alter, engaging in silent prayer, after which she quiet ly took her seat. The President mere ly bowed his head upon the back of the pew in front of him for a moment, in decent respect to the sanctities of the place and occasion. As they entered, the organist of the church, Miss West gate, struck up and played as a wel come march to the president, a prelude fugue, by Bach. The choir, under the lead of J. P. Davenport, rendered the hymn, "Come, Ye that Love the Lord," after which the pastor gave out the first regular hymn of the service. After the singing of another hymn Bishop Simpson arose to deliver his sermon, taking for his text the words of the forty-fourth verse of the second chapter of the Book of Daniel: "And in the days of these Kings shall the God o* Heaven set up a king dom which shall never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever." Speaking slowly and in a low, clear tone, he began : "The reader of history is oftentimes startled with the little ness of the agencies which produce great results. Joseph was almost placed upon the throne of Egypt by a dream. Had Esther been a little loss beautiful all the Jews in the kingdom of Ahasuerus had been destroyed. Pascal, in the same strain, shrewdly observes somewhere, that if the nose of Cleopatra had been half an inch shorter the face of all Europe would have changed." Then the Bishop related the wonder ful vision of Nebuchadnezzer of the image of gold, silver, iron and brass and clay, and Daniel's reading of its prophetic significance, of which the text was a part. lie followed the ful fillment of the prophecy in history with a rapid sketching hand, from the over throw of the Assyrian kingdom, through the Medo-l'ersian dynasty, the Roman Empire, to the establish ment during the latter days of the en; during kingdom ■ foretold in the text, that of Jesus Christ in the hearts of men Having thus with masterly hand run the preliminary lines of the survey, the grand old man eloquent was just entering on the exalted theme before him, and liis hearers were prepared for one of his grand discourses, when he suddenly paused and pressed a hand kerchief to his lips. His face, always pallid, assumed a white hue, bleach ing like his hair. The pause became so painful as to cause people tq look U P apprehensively to the orator's f'aoe, Ife faltered in a low voice, "I am not sure that I shall be able to finish this ser mon," and a thrill of apprehension ran over the vast assemblage. The Bishop was seized with retching, and appear ed to be suffocating. Ho grasped tho pulpit with both hands. The audience felt a strange, chilling tremor. The venerable preacher grasped out the words of apology: "I was sick last night, but I thought once I got start ed I should warm up to the work and got on, but lam not well. If the con gregation will kindly sing p. qr two, I may feel better and be able to go on," and then he tottered and sank back on his seat in the pulpit. It was a moment of thrilling apprehension. Tho tall, slender figure of the vener able Bishop, confessedly tfje forenp>st orator of his Church and among the foremost of the Xation, his face pallid, I his lips livid and speechless, bent with the weighi of mure tljtm tl|e allied age of wAn, his head silvered with the frosting of seventy-two winters, tot tering and sinking in the sacred desk, seemed to end his life and administra tion at onou in that tragic, solemn manner It was a painful dread and suspense. The pastor of the church sought to allay the exeit d apprehen sion of the vast and re quested them to join the choir in sing ing "Hock of Ages," which many did. During tho singing Dr. J. M. Bird, >yl)o\yas present, glided to the Bishop's side, grasped l}is and felt his pulse. He detected at oi ( ce of a chill threatening to become con gestive, and had the sufferer conveyed to the lecture room adjoining, where he was laid on a bench and restorative j stimulants were administered. Mr. Harford stated to the audience the na ture of the attack, and still further tq ' distract the audience from its excited j state, directed the stewards to pass ' around the plato, which was done, tin- President and Mrs. Hayes each drop ping in their silver the rest.— San Francisco Ch4>» icle, Sep., 13. A M-llcrstown Sensation. A dispatch front Milierstown dated Saturday 25th, says: A human skele ton was found in the woods three miles west of here last evening by some hunters. The skull was brought to town and the coroner notified. He caine over to-day and held an inquest. There is no clue as to who tbe person was, or the cause of his death could not be ascertained. A pair of pants and shirts were found some distance from the skeleton. The supposition is that the person, w ho was of medium height, and about forty years old, was murdered, and the body secreted in the dense bushes and hidden from view by a tree top. People living near there say several months since they smelt the stench, but did not look it up. Some of the bones have not been found. Several persons mysteri ously disappeared from here about a year ago and have never been heard from One, it is said, had considera ble money. AGAIN THEY MEET AND PART. The six conferees from the two coun ties came up smiling to the fourth round of the Senatorial shaiu fight which was held in this city on Friday last. The principals, Meredith and Greer, accompanied by several politi cal light weights to give them courage aud whisper honied words, were also on hand "eager'" for the fray. Several ballots were taken which resulted as before. Propositions were offered by the Butler faction and rejected by the Armstrong wing. Recess was occa sionally jhad to allow the conferees to cool off. Tbe Greer faction offered to leave the settlement of the matter to the voters of the Armstrong county towns situate adjacent to the Butler county line, but to this Meredith it Co. would not agree. Then the Greer ele ment proposed to leave it to the voters of Parker city and Frceport, Greer agreeing to pledge himself not to elec tioneer in either town. If the vote, proved favorable to Meredith he (Greer) would submit. That seemingly liberal proposition Mr. Meredith also declined. It being evident that the conferees or principals could not agree the con vention dissolved, without reference to future, time or day. Either of tbe prop ositions offered by Senator Greer ap pear, on their face, extremely liberal, but Mr. Meredith cannot conceive why he should compromise or accept any such proposition. By right of prece dence and promise the nomination bit longs to Armstrong county. If Mr. Meredith is not a strong man for tie Republican party that should have been decided at the primaries. If Mr. Meredith will not forswear himself to do the bidding of ring politicians, then most certainly his friends in Armstrong county, and every honest republican voter in the district should stand by him the closer for it. There are many holes in a skimmer aud so also are they many tricks in politics. We have no doubt but if the "obstinate aud self-willed" candidate from Armstrong county would agree to give his support to the desired candidate for the next United States Sen itorship, his nomination would be secured. We do not wish to be under stood that that is the reason why the conferees do not agree, but only sur mise that it "may" possibly be the ca-e. Mr. Greer, for some reason or the other, seems to be the choice of the , "powers that be," and those that , most desire bis nomination aro known , to be in favor with the Cameron-Quay faction— Parker Phoenix, September 24.

To suppose that "Uebcl claims" or claims in the interest of persons who were ii; rebellion can in any way or in any degree be counten anced is an imputation of disloyalty such as used to l>e made against Democrats even when they were in arms defending the country.

In relation to "union war claims'' the gov ; ernnient's obligations to its defenders come first. They are lasting and sacred.
