BUTLER CITIZEN._ iDWM H. i~W. C. KE6.EY. PROPjs, Entered at the Postojfiee at Butler as wcond-class* matter. CHRISTMAS —Saturday next. No paper next weeek—holidays. HON. 8. B. DICK has our thanks for bound copies of the Congressional Record. THESE are the cheery times of gift giving and gift receiving. Christmas brings so exchange of courtesies that si* always pleaea&t and agreeable. IT commenced snowing Lerw on Monday, and from the way it continued • it was thought that Vennor'B prophecy might be fulfilled; although the snow is not near eleven feet deep yet. THE shooting season has again open ed in some of the southern States, sev eral United States Revenue officers having been killed or wounded there within the last two or three weeks. HON. JAMES MOSOROVE and William Pollock, cashier of the Kittanningbank, have been appointed administrators of the estate of James E. Brown, Esq., late of Kittanning, deceased. The bond they bad to give was fixed at five hundred thousand dollars. IT is reported tbaH&eneral GsTfield has offered the State Depaatment to Senator Blaine, who has not as yet given him a reply, ahd who is consult ing his friends as to. the policy of his accepting it. the majority of his frtends oppose hii leaving the Senate. THE Chicago Inter-Ocean notes as a remarkable fact that the men whom the Republican party have elec ted President have all been of bumble origin, and have become distinguished by their own exertions—the rail split ter, the tanner, the tailor, the farmer and the tow-path boy. A PENNSYLVANIA law provides that all money put into a stakeholder's hand as a wager, may be seized find devoted to the support of the poor. The statute is sixty years old, and has long been a dead letter. The Poor Board of Scranton, however, have undertaken to enforce it in that city. THERE are now in actual circulation in this country $212,280,077 in gold, $80,513,314 in silver, $346,681,016 in greenbacks, and $332,064,451 in Na tional bank notes. Total money actu ally in the hands of the people, Nov. If $1,082,543,818. The mines of the United States have produced during the last seven years about $280,000,- 000 of gold and $271,500,000 of silver, an average production during that time of $40,000,000 of gold and $38,- 750,000 of silver per annum. THB determination of Mr Jay Gould and his associates in the American Union Telegraph Company to lay two new Atlantic cables will be a welcome announcement to the business men of the country. The two existing compa nies are virtually one corporation, and as a matter of course the tolls are far higher than they ought to be. Mr. Gould, it seems, was willing to go in with the present monopolies, but they would not let him. When his lines are laid they will probably change their minds, and then there will be a chance for another philanthropic capi talist. P. T. BAENUM, now at the point of death, was the prince of showmen. His museum in old New York, on the present site of the New York Herald, was a wonderful collection in its day. It was Barnum who brought out Tom Thumb and exhibited bim before crown ed heads. Barnum also made a fortune with the Swedish Nightingale. He met with a crash in his fortunes through endorsement, but he picked up again. His circus was bis last mam moth achievement. To his credit, he was a teetotaller and an abstainer from tobacco, and preached and practic. ad temperance all bis life. He thought the people liked to be humbugged, but he gave them their money's worth. He was the best type of the live Yankee, full of ingenuity and resource, fond of tb« almighty dollar, yet with a moral code that showed his Puritan ancestry. OABB OF JIM LEWIS. Among the trials and convictions had in Court last week was that of James D. Lewis, tof Petrolia who was charged with larceny. This was not the first time be had been in our Court. In fact he had occupied a good deal of its time within the past few years. He is said to have escaped pretty well heretofore, mainly through hia audaci ty or boldness, added to perhaps some smartness. But this time the law overtook bim, as it does in the end all such persons, and be was promptly sentenced to near three years in the penitentiary. Bince that, we see it stated, a much more serious charge may come up against bim. Some time ago it appears a peddler disappeared from about Petrolia and the remains of a human skeleton were afterwards found, supposed to have been those of the peddler. One of Lewis' companions named "Punch," and who figured in Court last week in the cases in which Lewis was either prosecutor or defend ant. it is reported has made some rev elations that implicate Lewis in the mystery of this peddler What reliance can or should be placed on the story of "Punch" we are not informed, and therefore cannot say. But it is to be hoped that 6ur county will he put to •• no more cost# by such characters as Lewis and "Punch " THE streets of Butler never present ed a more lively appearance, or one / that teetucd to indicate q*ore plenty in^ the land. The store and shop win dows are crowded with every fruit and dressed fowl that can tempt the appe tite. The arrangements for Christmas and New Year's days never were so extensive in this town as they are now. New devices to please the children, and new and elegant gifts for the older children, are to be found in the book and other stores. In a word, every place of business is now crowded daily and is full of articles to please, to eat, or to wear. When Butler gets the new railroad outlet, connecting with the Harmony road at or near Evans burg, and another connection north, at New Hope or Hilliards, both of which we have hopes for in the near future, then, indeed, will she become a still more business centre. The busine-s now doing in this place is great and in creasing. Our merchants seem to have started out on a more literal scale of trade, and the consequence is that the farmer comes in lrom a greater distance and brings with bim a greater amount |of his produce to sell or exchange. Hence the activity and prosperity we notice. DURING the Republican primary election of 1874, and in the month of May, we think, the subscription book of the CITIZEN was stolen from this of fice. It was taken in the evening of a Saturday, and was found returned about noon the next Tuesday in the coal shed attached to the oHice. We never have certainly known who was the thief. But we soon did know that a list of the names in the book had evi dently been transcribed therefrom. It was only surmised where and by whom this transcribing was done. However, our subscribers soon began to receive copies of the Butler Eagle and other papers and letters in the interest of the candidate it was then supporting for the Judge nomination then pending. From this it was inferred that paper was at least receiving the benefit of our list of subscribers. Two years after—lß7C—we found the same thing goinp on during the Republican primary of that year. Mr. Robinson was then a candidate for a State Senate nomination, and during the primary we found that nearly all our subscribers were receiving copies of his paper or letters from him, fur nished, as we supposed, from the same list made from the same stolen mailing book. During the primary election of this year we found the same s ate of affairs. Mr. Robinson was again a candidate— for Congress this time—and during the primary we found that nearly all our subscribers had the Eagle sent to them marked "sample copy," and were also receiving letters from bim. These "sample copies" and favors always ceased very suddenly after the primary was over, and many were the jokes and remarks we would hear concerning them. Why they were sent out, and why they so suddenly stopped, was well understood and was humorously commented upon very often. That iist, being thus obtained, is the only full list of the subscribers to this paper that we have any knowledge of, or rather that we supposed was over made from our books. Whether it was the list from which the "Address to the Honest Voters," during the late election was sent, of course we know not. And as to that address being on ly received by readers of this paper, even if true, it proves nothing more than that all the leading Republicans of the county take the CITIZEN and that nothing of that kind could be sent out through the county without being sent to its subscribers Bui we have heard from some parts of the county in which it is said every voter, of all par ties, received that address. And while we really think we should not make any answer to the continued insinua tions of the Eagle, yet we have stated the above for its benefit alone. Par tial lists of our subscribers have been frequently furnished to Republican can didates during primary elections, at their request, and to unable them to know or communicate with political friends. This re customary nnd we pre sume every publisher has often had to allow this same privilege. "THE HOLIDAYS." This is the only issue of the CITIZEN that will reach its readers before the coming holidays, of Christmas and New Year. No paper will be issued next week. Wc therefore now take the opportunity of sending greeting to all its readers and friends, aud wishing to each and all "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." JANUARY 1,1881. At the first of each year new county officers generally take their seats. The new Associate Judge for this county, Abraham M'Candless, Esq., and the new District Attorney, A M. Cun ningham, Esq., will consequently go into office with the beginning of the coming year, 1881. The members of the Legislature elect, by the terms of the present law, were in office from the first of December. Also, at the beginning of each year, a settlement is had of our county re ceipts and expenditures for the past year. For this purpose the present board of County Auditors will soon meet. As taxes are now a more grow ing and serious matter than ever be fore we have been requested to direct the attention of the Auditors and Com missioners to the necessity of giving the tax payers of the county a more full and detailed account of their receipts and expenditures. Some progress was made in this direction within the past two years, but not by any means as full as what the people want and have e right under tow to kqowr : UutLzz, ft**, SgUcemtowc; 22, WBO. THE LEGISLATURE. The Legislature of this State '.till meet at Harrisburg on Tuesday, Jan. 4th, two weeks from yesterday. 'I he first and most important duty that will engross the earnest attention of its members will be the selection of a Republican United States Senator, in place of Wallace, Democrat. I his is a high dutv, because the office is a hign and important trust, and we are much gratified to share in the general belief that a man ?f high character and abili ty will be chosen. The Republicans of the State show no disposition to take a second rate man, but rather to j give our State the standing that other j States have in the Senate, by the selec tion of a Statesman, who has the abil ity to give voice to and uphold the reputation and interests of the great State of Pennsylvania. In this veiw the Republican people of the State will have their eyes upon the Legislature and closely watch the doings of their members. They will expect the selec tion to be made through worth and ability and not through money or ring influence, and any member of Senate or House failing now iu his duty to his constituents will be sure to hear lrom them in the future. Centreville Items. CENTREVILLE, Dec. 20, 1880. EDITORS CITIZEN :—Dr. Scovel, of Pittsburgh, will lecture in the Presby terian church on Tuesday evening. Subject: "America and Europe Com pared." Christmas will be celebrated in the Methodist church on Saturday evening by a "snow house." An interesting entertainment will be afforded. The managers of this enterprise deserve commendation for their zeal in the in struction and amusement of the young folks, and are to be congratulated on the success which always attends their efforts in this line. The members of the Presbyterian Sabbath School are promised an oyster snpp r on Friday evening. Mr. Welis Humphrey, of Worth township, while on his way home from this place on Friday, lost a pocket-book containing a small sum of money and valuable papers. Gettes Morrison, the lively mail car rier between this place and Butler, lost a valuable horse on Friday night. This is the second loss of the kind \v' ich he has sustained within a few months. "Whisky did it;" at least, it is said to have bceu the cause of the sudden suspension of an enterprising "Hide nud Pelt" firm of this place last week. A festival will be held in North Lib erty on Friday evening, for the benefit of the new Presbyterian church, of that place. We are pleased to note the return of our noted western traveler, Mr. J. N. Warraeastle. Stay with us, Mickey. Prof. Samuel McCune is conducting a singing class at Wolf Creek. A young son of Hiram Grill met with a painful accident last week while coasting, It appears that, sliding swiftly down an icy hill, be encounter ed a small stick protruding from the ground, which entering the hip, passed upward near the back bone, seven and one-half inches. Dr. Patterson extract ed the stick—over three-quarters of an inch thick—and to the surprise of those who saw the terrible wound, and to the relief of the anxious parents, decid ed that the injury was not dangerous. BETA. The Senatorial Fight. PHILADELPHIA, December B.—Rep resentative Wolfe, who is a ruling spir. it in the councils of those upon whose support Mr. Grow must depend, and who during the last few days was in town circulating among the city dele gation, said to a Press reporter last evening: "Seventy-eight votes are nec essary to a choice in the caucus. Mr. Grow has 55 members of the Leicis lature instructed for him, leaving him 23 short. Now, then, I think there is no doubt, in fact I know, that he can get the 23 votes necessary for victory. I am of opinion that he can get even more tbau the 23 from among those un instructed." "Can Mr. Grow rely upon all those who are instructed?" Mr. Wolfe was asked. "It will be much easier,"replied Mr- Wolfe, "for Mr. Grow to hold his in structed strength and those who will be for him than it will be for the oppo sition to concentrate upon a mau ac ceptable to ail parties." "Who will oppose Mr. Grow ?" "I really don't, kuow," replied Mr. Wolfe. "Is Mr. Oliver likely to be their candidate ?" "I think it :s generally understood that Mr. Oliver is no lo jger a candi date I don't think the word has yet been passed along the line as to who the opposition will concentrate upon. I don't think that any man represent ing those antagonistic to the general element in tin; party supporting Grow can win. If they defeat Grow, it will be by taking a man who is supposed to represent the same political principles and policies in the party that Mr. Grow represents, and this, I think, is very improbable. In other words, I don't think the machine will win this time. I don't know who the opposition have thought of, and I think they will ex perience some difficulty in selecting a candidate. It is my opinion that they will not oftVr any opposition if they think they are whipped, which 1 rather think they are. I have full confidence that Mr. Grow will be the caucus nom inee for United States Senator." Representative McKee, who was as sociated with Mr. Wolfe in the riot bill investigation, supp emented the foregoing interview by saying; Al though I had made up my mind sous*: time since to support Grow in the ab sence of a better candidate, I did not deem it advisable to be outspoken until now. My reason for supporting him is because the opposition are not likely to concentrate upon a man superior to Grow. Although the p\\.J (jelegation is divided, we hold enough in l/.'nizing. ■ His sermon before the Ist Synod of: the West this fall received universal praise and wa both an honor to him- j self and the presbytery he represented | Brother Jamison, who was a con- j stant hearer, voluntarily bears this testimony, that his se-mons arc all of a uniform excellence. We rpjoiee to see a young man by diligence and eelf-cousecration put forth'evety energy to stand high in his profession. We wonder if the congregation fully appreciate his services by a prompt iilierality. in order that he may have the facilities at his command necessary for further progress toward the good of true excellency. We trust they will, and that all congregations will remem ber that much depends on them wheth er or not their pastor will excell. Bro. Ferguson! we congratulate you on the high honor you have just received. We know it is well merited. FRANKLIN TP. Prejiiilici 1 kill*.

No man or woman can dosatisfactory work when the brain is dull, the nerves unsteady, the system relaxed and they feel generally wretched. Why should lawyers, merchants, clergymen, doc tors, mechanics or mothers often mis erably dratr through their work in this condition, when a small amount of Parker's Ginger Tonic will always, at moderate cost, clear the brain aud give them the strength and the will to per form their duties satisfactorily. We have felt its strengthening and bracing effects and can recommend it most highly. See other column.— Ed. Kansas Amendment Jubilee.

During the past year The New York Tribune reached the largest circulation it ever attained, with the single exception of P short period in the fiist Lincoln campaign It is a larger cir culation, and more widely distributed over the whole country than any ever enjoyed by any other newspaper in the United states. This fact may be taken as the verdict of the Amcii icaq people on the Tribune's political force, its fidelity to sound principles, and its merits as a newspaper. For 1881, The Tribune will try to deserve equally well of the public. What and how much it did tor the success of General Garfield it is content to let earnest Republicans tell. It It now hopes to give to his Administration a discriminating support as effective a:- it- efforts for his election. The Tribune will labor for. and it confidently expects the incoming Administration t > pro mote a free and fair suffrage, South ;.mi North, sound money, protection to Home Industry, ju dicious liberanty in Internal Improvements, ai;d a Ciyil Service conducted 03 h;isim:«i j.iin eipl. -, 011 the theory of elevating, not of ignor ing or degrading politics. Every citizen who hel tied to bring in this Ad ministration should watch iu course. The events to be recorded in The Tribune for 1881 will therefore have a peculiar interest. The year promises liesides to show whether the South will still sacrifice everything to solidity; and whether the Democratic party, after twenty years of disloyalty and defeat, will dissolve or reform. Abroad it will show whether F.ny'and can compose Ireland; whether the Republic in Frpnce, without the supi»ort of the leaders who established it, can stand alone; whether the Turk oaii longer pollute Europe. In science it promises «uch practical triumphs as the u e of electricity for gas, new modes 01 heating, and new forms of jwnver in place of steam. In Lit erature and Art, it otf> rs the very flower of our nineteenth century development; in Religion, a concentration of force and union of organiza tions on simpler creeds and better work. No intelligent man will lie willing to live through the year without reading of these things; aud he will be wise to look for them in the journal which has long enjoyed the distinc tion of the largest circulation among the best people. This position TLLK TKIBI'XK secured and means to rejaili by becoming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the l>cst conscience of the time; by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freest discus sion, hearing all *iJes, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality and refusing to cater to the tastes of iiii> vile. • r the prejudices of'the ignorant. The well-kown special features of THE TKl ni'Ni: will be sedul u-dv maintained. Its Agri [ cultural Department will remain the fullest and best. The Household and tl.e Young Folks' Departments, the literary, scientific and religi ous features, the standard market reports, will all be kept up, and, as opportunity offers, ex tended.
