From Brown <fc Co's monthly wool circular we learn that Pennsvl vania wool shares, with the staple from Ohio and West Virginia the honor of being at the top of the market.

Some people attend a lecture with the intention of listening to and being benefitted by it, some go for the same reason tliev po to church, to display their new clothing and others to criti cise, not the lecture, but tbe dresses, hats, etc., on exhibition. This they do there and then, and by their con tinual chatter prevent persons sitting near them from hearing what the lec turer is saying. Thousands of people, who are pfflict ed with a diseased liver, indicest'on, heartburn, waterbrasb, sour stomach, or a generally intolerable biliousness, as it is termed, use mercury. This is done reluctantly perhaps, but the com mon-place argument is, Oh, nothing will reach the liver and spleen except blue mass. Could I get something else I wouldn't use it. Reader, you can get something else, and that some thing else is Simmon's Liver Regula tor It is equal in power to blue mass, and without any of its injurious effects.

The gun is a lighter, handsomer and more effective weapon than the one with which the guard is now armed. Premium Wine. We can confidently recommend Speer's Port Grape Wine, which was awarded the highest premium at the World's Fair, as *i superior article of wine for the sick and debilitated, and all those who require vinuous stimula tion and invigoration.

It says.- "Such a bond would , never be much above par. and the Gov ! eminent could buy it in the open mar | ket when in a financial condition to re duce the principal of the debt. If the Government shall be able to borrow money at 3 per cent, the country can afford to have the national debt run a little longer. The people who pay the taxes cannot borrow money that low, and they would not object to a breath ing spell or partial relief." —Among the special petitions made by the devout person who observed the the Week of Prayer were some for the press. For this evidence of thought fulness we are sure all editors will be profoundly <rrateful, as well as for the graceful compliment implied by their not being prayed for until late in the week, as if they were abler than other men to get along without heavenly as sistance. Late or early, however, the prayers vi'l come in handy, for the press, like the Church, is carrying l the whole world on its mind, and the load at times becomes a staggerer. .41 2 Cents per Yard.

Her first publication ''Picturesand Por traits of Foreigu Travel," is a fresh treatise on hackneyed themes, and is meeting with deserved approval bv many distinguished critics. Unlike most tyros she is not so dazzled by her first adventure as to think the new flame of glory will live forever without feeding; she has a novel on the stocks, and if her rapid rise in her art is an i l dex to her future, it cannot be other thau one of success and usefulness Her entertaining and instructing book is published by E.

We have now in stock an immense purchase of Brown and Bleached Mus lins, which we will sell at very close prices, at BITTER & BALSTON'S. —A strange homicide occurred in an eastern city lately. Two poor families occupy the same house, the mothers supporting them by laundry work, On the day in question the two women were at work, leaving their children at play in an upper room. One of the mothers, hearing her child, an infant less than one year of age, crying, hurried to the room and found the little one in great agony, its face being badly burned. The three year old child of the other wo man admitted that it had caused the injuries with a poker heated in the stove. The baby soon died, and it was found that the poker had been thrust down its throat. —I have been a sufferer for years with Catarrh, and under a physiciaus treat ment for over a year, have tried a number of "sure cure" remedies and obtained no relief. I was advised to try Ely's Cream Balm. It gave me immediate relief. I believe lam now entirley cured. G S. Davis, First Na tional Bank, El»z\beth, N. J,. Aug. 14, 1879. By far the best remedy for the treat ment of Catarrh and itskindrediliseases is Ely's Cream Balm, which is having the largest sales with us of any prep aration now oft", red.

W. B. Thompson, the General Superintend ent of the Bailway Mail Service. This marvelous organization, un known in any other country, is pecu liarly an American institution, and one of which the United States may well be proud. It embraces ('»!) lines ot railway postoflice, and including steam boat routes, tin' annual service foots up 102,166,001 miles, on which mails are constantly being received, distributed and delivered, with a saving in time over the old methods, upon each letter or package handle 1, or from twelve to twenty-four hours. —lt is rum >red that Secretary Schurz will is! ike his home in St. Louis after the kh of March next, and will pay attention to editing his Ger man newspapers. This is a very re spectable busine.-s, but it leads to politi cal complicatio-i*. If Mr. Schurz wants to be happy ai d independent let him buy a farm and edit that. A farmer who has bis Inr.d paid for, has a good wife and a good library need not envy the condition of any other man in th world. —Of the 7,307 miles of raiiroad built in 1880 uure than one-half, or 3,808 miles, were laid in the States and Territories west of the Mississippi. The rapidity with which railroad con struction is going on in that portion of the Union presages a still greater in crease in its population during the next ten years than the census shows for the last decade. Already in the region west of the Mississippi considerably more than a fifth of the population of the country is gathered, whereas in 18C.0 the proportion was ouly about a tenth.

Walter, Butler, Pa. | Jan. 5, 'Bl. 4-t —Chicago's receipts for 1880 include about a hundred and sixty-five million bushels of grain and flour, a billion and five hundred million feet of lumber, six hundred and fifty million shingles, and a hundred and twenty-five million dollars' worth of hogs, horses, cattle, ami sheep. Of course Chicago receiv -1 ed other things, but it is hardly worth i while to mention anything less than billions or hundreds of millions. —Among inventors and mechanics i there is now a rivalry as to who shall ! produce a machine that will consume smoke. There are those who think the Government ought to offer a pre mium for the best machine that can be | produced to accomplish this eonsump- I tion. We do not agree with these people. For every original invention the Government gives a patent right, which protects the inventor and enables him to make a profit out of his inven tion, which often runs into a monopoly. This is sufficient reward, without rtin uing the Government into the folly of adding premiums to this means of ma king money. A machine to burn smoke, that would answer the purpose practically, would enrich the inventor. —Constantly recurring calamities point to the fact that the public charit able institutions of our country are built with a lamentable lack of regard for human life. The last case is that of the Dover, N. H., almshouse, burn ed lately with the probable loss of thirteen lives. This building, like moiit of its class, was undoubtedly flimsily built and provided with entire ly insufficient fire e.\its. The terrible loss ol life by the burning of the Minne sota Insane Asylum at St. Peter is still fresh in miud, and the very recent calamities at Buffalo and New York City emphasize the lesson. In addition to the cases named four persons were lately burned te death in New York City by an explosion in a brewery, and on the same day a mother and daughter died by fire in Fort Scott, Kansas. There seems to be a fire wave throughout the country. LiceiiM* 4 ouri. The Court fix Wednesday the 9th day of March, A.

All persons interested will take no tice that all Petitions for license must be filed in the Clerk's office on or be fore the 16th day of February, 1881. W. A. WRIGHT, Clerk. —The Republican members of the Ohio Legislature have nominated Sec retary Sherman by acclamation as their canditate for United States Sena tor. This insures his election, and the country will be well pleased to see him again in his old place of influence. It would have felt deeper satisfaction if he were to remain at the head of the Treasury Department, which he has administered with signal ability and brilliant success; but it appreciates the political and personal reasons which led him to prefer a less laborious po sition If the Republicans organize the Senate Mr. Sherman will, ofcourse.be restored to bis old position as chairman of the Finance Committee. Whether in that position or any other he will be the most trusted guide of legislation on financial subjects, and his judgment and counsel will always besought by the new Secretary of the Treasury in questions of doubt or difficulty. Farm for Sale. One of the best farms in Penn town ship, containing Bt> acres, and situate 4 miles from Butler, is for sale. Im provements pood ; orchard of 200 bear ing trees. Inquire of Geo. Walter, Butler, Pa. Jan. 5, 'Bl,it. —lf Mr. Springer's proposition for making the new apportionments of representatives in Congress on the present basis of 293 members should be adoped, its first effect would probably be to diminish the chances of the Terri tories now seeking admission as States. For in dividing the total population of 1880. exclusive of the Territories and of the District of Columbia, by 293, the ratio for a member of Congress would be 168,498. The population of Utah is 143,907, sothit this fact might be brought up as a reoson for not ad mitting her, independently of the ques tion of polygamy. Dakota also has but 134,502, and New Mexico but 118,- 430. Still, such an apportionment would only diminish chances : it would not bar them out. It has never in practice been held necessary that a Territory should have population equal : to the ratio for a member of Congress; Nevada to-day does not have half of that population. Still, the higher that ratio the stronger might be the argu ment against admitting Territories that did not come up to it. —The following is the trial list for week commencing Jan. 31st, as ad vertised : A.

Some prominent cases | that almost everyone will recall show the wisdom of the Portuguese Soiyn i wht drafted this law but except that j proj>e:ty is what law principally con i cerus itself with there is no reason why I the restriction should not have extended to widowers as well as widows, for the tendency of old men who marry is also to seek young companions, and if the wife does not dissipate her hus band's property the chance? are largely in favor of his doing it for her. Uu | equal marriages generally are sure signs | of old heads grown fooli-.-h, aud"there's no fool like an old fool." * —As might have been anticipated, the contemplated consolidation of the three leading telegraph companies of tiie country is creating no small d"gree of apprehension. Protests against the proposed combination are being signed in New York, and a bill has been pre pared for introduction in Congress to prevent extortionate tollsfor telegraph ic service. As to the constitutional power to regulate charges for the trans mission of messages there may be some question, but no doubts on that score will probably be allowed to stand iu the way of an effective measure for checking the abuse of a monopoly which comes so close to the interests of tbe people in the transaction of so great and rapidly-growing a part of their correspondence. What this coun try needs, among the practical every day appliances which mostcontribute to the convenience of its citizens, is cheap telegraphy. We have realized cheap postage, and its popular benefits have been immense. At some future day we shall enjoy the postal telegraph, which has worked so admirably iu Great Britain. —lt is seldom that so pleasing a performance is given here, as that which was enjoyed in the Court House last Thursday evening, and which was given by the "Germania" Orchestra, assisted bj r the "Philharmonic" socie ty of this place. Since Dr. Von Meyerhoff has been in Butler he has had charge of the Orchestra and he is rapidly bringing it up to the highest standard in the art of music. He Ps a first-class musician himself, as his solo performances prove, and that he is a good conductor can readily be seen by auvone. The performance of the orchestra was unusually good. The '•grand melody of National Airs," was the best appreciated by the audieuce, probably on account of their acquaint ance with them. The clarinet and cornet solos, by Messrs. M. A. Low man aud Robert McClelland, were well rendered and well accompanied. The Pr.'s address on "women and music" was well received and in it he paid a well deserved compliment to Miss Bell Lowry, of this place. The concert was a success, and our citizens will have an opportunity of enjoying another on the evening of the 17th of next month. f.iving IViiiiossi'S. The hundreds of strong, hearty, rug ged and healthy looking men, women and children that have been rescued from beds of pain, silkness and well nigh death by Parker's Ginger Tonic, arc the best evidences in the world of its sterling merit and worth. You will find such in almost every community. Read of it in another column. —The adventures of the intrepid Russiau explorer. Col. Pr.-hevalskv. in the frontiers of China and Tibet, promise to furnish the most interesting contributions to geography since the davsofPr. Livingstone. Only meagre accounts of his explorations have been received at long intervals, but enough has been told to make every reader impatient for the complete narrative. The map makers wili be likely to have work enough before Col. I'rsheval.sky gets through. They will have to straighten out the big bend that they now give to the great Chinese river Hoang-Ho, and revise their charts of the mountain ranges near the borders of the Flowery Kingdom. The Russian traveller found snow-capped mountains along the river so steep and lofty that he concluded he could not cross them. A kind of glory has departed from Asia since the announcement that Mount Hercules in New Guinea overtops the highest of the Himalagas, and merely for the sake of the fitness of things, it is to be hoped that Col. Prshevalsky will lind some peak lofty enough to win back the precedence for the greatest of the continents. Nobody likes to have an out-of-the-way island like New Guinea possess the culminating point of the globe. LIBERAL OFFERS FOK 1881. Two Vears for the Price of One!
