BUTLER CITIZEN. lOHN H. L W. C. NE6LEY. PROP'RS. Entered at the Postojffice at Butler a* second-classs matter. YESTERDAT, Tuesday morning the thermometer was airain below zero. PCRISG OctoU-r 61,312 emigrants arrived in the United States from Eu rope. WILLIAM B. GRACE, Mayor-elect of New York city, took the oath of office on Saturday. THE Temperance Convention met yesterday. Several distinguished speakers are present. CONGRESS meets on Monday, De cember 6tb, and will continue in ses sion until the third of March, when it expires by law. A SPECIAL term of Court commences next Monday ; the regular December term follows the week after, commenc ing December 6. REV. BABCOCK, of Philadelphia, who is attending the Temperance Con vention, also finds time to visit our schools and address the children. GOVERNOR WILLIAMS, of Indiana, died last Saturday, aged 72 years He was a rather remarkable man, very popular in bis party, and known as "Blue Jeans" Williams in politics. GOVERNOR HOTT has made a proc lamation of the election of the Repub lican electors for President and Vice President, and called them to assemble at Harrisburg on the first Wednes day of December next, to cast their ballots as required by law. TnE Presidential electors will meet at their several State capitols and cast their votes for President and \ ice Pres ident on the first Wednesday iu De cember. Congress is directed by law to open and count these votes on the second Wednesday in February, and to declare the result. MICHIGAN gives 53,000 majority for the Republican electors at the late elec tion, and Minnesota over 40,000. On the other hand Mississippi gives over 40,000 majority for the Democratic electors. It is pretty well settled that Garfield has a majority of the popular vote in the whole nation, which will reach about 80,000. IT has been some years since we had, at this time in November, the cold weather of the past few days. On Monday morning the thermometer at this place was two degrees below zero. The winds have been sharp, aud little snow has fallen. Much in the vegeta ble line, that was not fully covered or secured, was caught and frozen. Al together it has been as sudden as se vere. Tiie contest for U. S. Senator in thin State i« waxing. The list of candidates is already as long as your arm and growing. The policy seems to Ix; to lengthen it ns much as possible in or der tha* local pride may withdraw some of Grow's supporters and make it more easy to bring in a subservient ring candidate. Thus fur the one to be favored by Cameron is kept in the dark. Local jealousies haven't disor ganized Grow's phalanx sufficiently for him to be brought out and go to gath ering up the fragments. But he will make his appearance in due time, and then will be manifested the kind of ma terial our legislators-elect are made of; whether they have vertebra or gristle. —New Cattle C'ourant, Nov. I'Jt/i. THANKSGIVING. The Thanksgiving services in the M. E. Church of this place will be held on to-morrow, Thursday evening, at 7 o'clock, instead of in the day-time. At Presbyterian church at half past 10 o'clock, A. M. NEW BANKRUPT LAW. We see that an attempt will be made to pass a new, or amended,as it is call ed, bankrupt law through the coming Congress. If we understand popular opinion the people want no more bank rupt law of any kind. They are against it on principle, and believe ii wrong in principle. The state laws are sufficient for all just and honest cases Xo more bankrupt laws should I mj the doctrine, and remonstrances should be forwarded to Congress to that effect. PRESIDENT HI-13ELF. Every Republican in the land who known, or hah read the life uu<l charac ter of James A. Garfield, President clect, has full faith and believes that he himself will he, in fact, the next President. He will choose h H own Cabinet without dictation from thin or that "boss," or without any attempt to please cliques or rings iu any stale Any other course would only embar rass his Administration, and his ser vice in public life has been varied and long enough to tell him thut. He eun well afford to act iu all his appoint ments and recommendations for the ■whole Itrjjublicun party, without re gard to this or that existing Senator, or this or that combination in any fctatc. He knows over what influen ces he himself was nominated and how the people thought and yet think of "boss" ways, as it is termed. And no body believes thit tbero wan made, or is such a thing as the "Treaty of Mentor." General Garfield is the people'* favorite, and owes all his suc cess to his own industry, brains and integrity. No President ever was chosen who haw more or more ability to act for himself, and we lift lieve all his appointment* to office will be of the be#t and inotrt, worthy mow. I His will be a new Administration, and all wish fur its success—aud if success ful, General Garfieli will be his own successor in the Presidential office. THE NEXT CABINET. The C ncinnati Commercial has a tw i co'umn double-headed "stunner ' on the subject of President Garfield's Cabinet. The article might l»e enti tled, "What Mr. llal>tead knows about Cabinet making." He starts out with the assumption that Mr. Garfield is his 1 own master, aud will do what he can to harmonize and strengthen the Re publican party. I As to the Cabinet, Blaine, according i to Field-Marshal HaUtcad, will name the Secretary of the Navy. Conkling j will select the Hon. Thomas C. Piatt ;as Postmaster General. Piatt is a { warm friend of Conkling, will be heart | ilv endorsed by the New York 1 ri \bune, and has a personal claim in the fact that he cordially espoused the cause of Garfield immediately alter his nomiuatioo. Pennsylvania is alio to have a Cabinet officer, and "he will not be displeasing to the Camerons. Mr. Ilalstead graciously add- : "We could make Don Secretary of War, if that would make h.m happy, and let Penn sylvania elect Simon Cameron and Ga lusha A. Grow Senators." As to Sec retary Sherman, it is affirmed that "the country would be better satisfied with his continuance in the Treasury De partment than with any change that could be made, ' but if be does not re main in that department it is doubtful whether there will be an Ohio man in the Cabinet If Sherman should pre fer the Senate to service abroad, he could possibly be returned to that body, tboi.,h "Foster and Stanley M it tbews wild contest with him for the honor. Mr. Matthews' ambition is a seat on the Supreme bench of the Cnited States, which he could get il Justice Swayne would retire. Should the latter named geutleman prefer to remain on the bench, the French Mis sion might be open to Mr. Matthews. As to the south, Mr. Hal stead thinks it will be "left out iu the rain," as no particular benefit has accrued to Hayes' administration by recognizing that sec tion, arid none is likely to follow should Garfield imitate his example. Indiana will expect a Cabinet officer, and Gen eral Harrison can have a place if he wants it. But be is certain to win senatorial honors, aud is said to prefer the Senate. Senator Logan, singular ly enough, has a desire for a Cabinet positiou, and if chosen, say a- Secreta ry of the Interior, General Grant would • lie willi gto succeed him in the Sen . ate, having ambition in that direction. The onlv Cabinet office Grant could lake consistently with the dignity of his career, is Secretary of State "but as Garfield would not care to associate with himself in the daily transactions of business so immense a personality as that of General G ant," he will not 1 suggest to him the folio of the State Department, but tender him promptly the English mission. As to Carl Schurz, who is "intel lectually the equal ol Garfield himself,'' he would l>e "the ideal Secretary of State," but "if the virtue of political prudence should not permit that, the Gerniau mission would become him." The Pacific coast, although uot speci ally deserving, would lie assigned the Secretaryship of the Interior, "rather than that the corner of the country re cently swallowed up iu rebellion should have it." We have thus given the substance of Mr. iialstead's article, leaving our readers to form their own conclusions as to its value. The following tribute to General Grant, which forms a part of the same article, is significant, coin ing from a paper which was so bitter against him a few mouths ago : "The admirable conduct of General Grant since the Chicago convention has obliterated the unpleasant impressions formed while he was urged for a third term. It is much to say, but we say it sincerely aud irladly, that he has re gained that which his indi.-erect friends lost for him, aud stands as high as he did a year ago when lie landed on the Pacific coast, honored and celebrated by all nations. Our point is, that any thing but the Presidency is at his dis posal—the Presidency never again— anything else always." Making Bauer Kraut. The best we ever ate we made our selves for many years, and for a con siderable time with our own bands, aud always with Savoy cabbage. It was manufactured iu this wise : Iu the first place let your '"stand," holding from a balf barrel to a barrel, be thor oughly scalded out ; the cutter, the tub and the stamper also Well scalded. Take off all the outer leaves of cab bage, halve them, remove the heart and proceed with the cutting. Lay som* clean leaves at the bottom of the stand, sprinkle with a handful of «ult, fill in half u bushel of cut cabbage, stamp gently until the juice just makes its appearance, then add another hand ful of salt, and so on until the stand is full. Cover over with cabbage leaves, place on top a clean board, fitting the space pretty well, arid on top of that a stone weighing twelve or fifteen pounds. Stand away in a cool place, and when hard freezing comes on re move to the cellar. It will be ready for use in from four to six weeks. The cabbage should be cut tolerably coarse. The Savoy variety makes the best article, but it is only half as produc tive as the Drum head and Flat Dutch. v Snow and Sovoro Cold BOSTON, NOV. 21.—Snow fell in New Hampnhire yester'"ay to the depth of ten inches.

TALL, NOV. 16.—A bulletin to the Pioneer Press from St. Peter says: The number of live- lost by the burn ing and freezing in the insane asylum are v riously estimated from twenty to fifty. The loss on the building is $300,6 0. A special dated at four a. m. s-civs: The scenes at the burning at the south wiug of the hospital were heartrending in the extreme. So ap palling a sight has rarely been wit nessed, and we trust may never lie again. The patients in the annex winsr were males. Many of them re fusing to leave the building at all. They ran up and down the halls screaming aud crying aud acting Hke bedlamites. They were, of course, those who could uot lie coaxed nor forced out of the building and become the unhappy victims of the flames and suffocated in a pit of flames. Others were saved, some by ladders and some by leaping from the windows. Some were n. arly nude, some shoeless and hatlesb', all were exposed to the ex ceeding cold cf the night. Many of tht- poor demented aud crazed inmates fled as if for their lives and could not be overtaken or confined. Their buffer ings in this frightful condition can better be imagined than described. The whole catastrophe is fearful to contemplate and impossible to describe. The poor, dazed inmates of the asylum who bad escaped the flames were at large half clothed and were to be seen it. all directions flying in wild fright from those attempting to save them The air was bitter cold and the poor wretches with half naked bodies and bleeding feet, were flying about hiding in alleys aud dark corners. It was a sight once seen never to be forgotten F'>r some time the capacity of the building has been tried to its utmost There were about 000 patients and every inch of space utilized. What will be done with the-*; poor creatures turned out in the cold and their mala dy increased by the excitement of the occasion, is a serious question. There are two other buildings situated in the town which are used but are already crowded to their full capacity. The asylum at Rochester is full and will doubtless e unable to provide accom modations for any of the inmates at St. Peter. Another special says while ibe flames were slowly progressing the matron of the female department made all haste to get the inmates out, and many of them ran shrieking in their night clothes in the suow drifts, even hurrying themselves in the snow, and bad to be dragged in barns and sheds, while those near by wrapped blankets and shawls around them. Hence in tense suffering could not e avoided as they bad to be taken about fifteen or twenty rods through the snow to the nearest shelter, which was on a hill immediately in the rear of the south wing. Yet when we turn to the male apartment our blood runs cold, as we gaze into those burning walls and real ize what was the doom of more than one poor demented man. The actual number burned can not be gotten at in any way at the present time, as many are known to have wandered away in the intense excitement that prevailed throughout the whole premises. Sev eral bodies were taken out of some of the rooms and halls. Several persons were gotten out into the balls, when they would seem determined to return to the flames. One room, occupied by two, was broken oj>en and while one was dragged out the other was deter mined to remain in her warm bed, and when dragged out insisted on waiting to be dressed. 'l hd Silver Point. The Ouray (C 01.,) Time* of Oct. .'lO says : This mine was sold last week bv Judge P. L. Hubbard to James A. Fleming, of Kar>t Urady, Pa , who has associated with him II L. Westerman, of Millerstown, N. Pontius, of Hu«-na Vista, Sherman A Robinson, of Kit tanning. all of Pa., and P. J Cole, of Springfield, Ohio, It was located June 20th, 1870 by Cbas. Morris and Louis Vockev, is a full claim 150 by 300 feet, and is situ ate about three miles south of Ouray and one-half mile above Hear Creek falls, on Engineer mountain. It is a ! true fissure vein beyond anv doubt,car rying 38 to 40 inches of mineral, and increasing in thickness ami quality as developed. The development consists of a 'JO foot tunnel within 100 <eet of the lower end of the claim ; 150 feet above another tunnel of 15 feet; 200 feet above this another of 30 feet with 15 foot face, where work h is been done this gammer; some 300 feet above is a shaft sunk on the vein 48 feet, in all of these workings it shows the same char acter of ore and about the same thick- j ness and quality. On the west on the same vein is the Lucky Hoy, and ou the cast the Minnie Hill. Hoth of these mines are being developed and , are looking well, showing that this lode extends for at least 4,500 feet. [ The Silver Link mine, owned by Par- i k> r, Ileitis, Thompson and others, of < Oil City, IV, is situated in the same vicinity, us are several owned by CJov. eruor Pitkin, the Sivyer and other good mines. The Silver Poiut was i leased to John 0. Davis and others in December, 1x77, for one-fourth royalty. The lirnt lot of ore shipped to Long k, Strout's smelter, as shown by their books, wit* 1807 pounds, running 10'J ounces silver to the ton ; the second lot, D>B7 pounds, gave 1 18 ounces; the third lot, 2200 pounds, 140 ounces. Up Lo thin time there has been taken out about 100 tons of ore that will averege about the same, although thoro have : been sample assays as high as 400 ounces All the ore thus far mined lias been taken out under great disad vantages, the miners having to pack the ore on their backs for a long dis tance down the mountain, and then by 1 pack animals to Ouray. |ii|t uow as the 101 l road bus been completed along the mountain side about 400 feet below the lower tunnel, the parties who now own it propose lo put in an ore cbule lo the road. Mr. Fleming has tu)(cD up a mill site ou the fiver feet below the road and has let 4 coif- 1 tract for the construction of a dam across the canon, which is only 15 feet wide at that point, with sufficient ca pacity to run a wheel of 150 l»orsa poWnr, the same to be fully completed by June 15th. Hy that time Mr. F. expects to have ou tbo ground an air compressor capable of running at least ten air drills. To convey the com-! pressed air to the mine he will lay a line of 2 inch gas pipe, giving a cln ap j tnd permanent power for working the j uiiiM Two dni {J, Hin estimated, will Ink" out Stout of ore per iiay «*hl}# j drifting ou the vein and 15 tons while | stopping.

A turkey raiser who prides himself on sending to market the handsomest lot of tur keys in his town, for the Christmas market, tells us how he dressed his birds. The turkeys are fed as usual the night before butchering, and in the morning are driven in upon the barn floor, as soon as they coiue from the roost, and are made secure. Their crops are empty, and they can be caught as they are wanted. Make a slip noose of strong cord for each tur key in an adjoining stable or shed, put the turkey's legs into the noose, and witha small pointed knife stick the bird as near the head as possible. As soon as the bird is dead, strip ofT the feathers, pinfeathers and all. Cut the neck off as near the head as possible, remove the wings and draw the en trails, before taking the bird down. The turkey is hung up alive, and taken down ready f<r market. Lay the bird on its breast or side upon a clean board to cool. They should be carefully handled in dressing, to avoid breaking the skin, for it rubs off very easily when warm. li smove all the pinfeathers and pack the birds when sent to market, in clean straw, so that there will be no marks of blood on them. Handsome clean dressing will add a cent a pounJ, and oftem more, to the market price of all kinds of poultry. A. De id Look Prob ble. INDIANAPOLIS, November 20—The death of Gov. Williams makes Laac I'. (Jray Chief Executive of the Slate. He is a native of Chester county, Pa. He removed to Union City in 1855, where he still resides, in the practice of law. Gov. Morton appointed hiiu Colonel of the Fourth Indiana Cavalry and he also raised and organized the One Hundred and Forty-seventh In-' fantry. He was elected Senator in 1808 In July, 1870, he was appoint ed Consul to St. Thomas, but declined the appointment. He was a delegate at large to the National Liberal con vention in 1872 at Cincinnati, and was a member of the National Committee. Since then he has acted with the Dem ocrats. Under a pleasing exterior and suave manner he hides an indomitable will and aggressive character. He was unanimously nominated Lieutenant Governor in 1876 and again in 1880. This promotion somewhat complicates the political situation here. The Sen ate is a tie, politically, and Gray, as Lieutenant Governor, wus expected to give the casting vote to enable the lk-mocrats to organize. With him out of the way a JoeJi may ensue, to the detriment of public interest*. "Women JSevrr I lilnk."
