The tents, horses, and paraphernalia of the Great London show have been seized for debt at Des Plaiues, Illi nois. —Now that tbe walnut timber is all cut down and made into furniture the wood is going out of fashion. The falling off of the sup ply may have much to do with the change in style. —A New Hampshire farmer last fall put into a barrel of apples a letter, in which he asked the buyer to seud him an answer. He has just received the answer from Birmingham, England. —England has well on to a million of professional paupers. At the commence ment of this year they averaged one to every 25 i>eivons, which is a terrible showing for the richest country in the world. —The Comet sat for its photograph in New York the other nigh'. Professor Hen ry Draper, of the Central Park Observatory, being the artist. This is tbe first of tbe comet family to submit to the camera. —With the exception of the Sunday School picnics nothing unusual that we know of will happen on the 4th. Grown up people who want to put in a "glorious" day will, we suppose, travel to Nixon's grove. —The Detroit man who attempted suicide by swallowing his spectacles was very short sighted. He should have known that only a little practice in the eating is necessary to make glass palatable, if not nourishing. —ln Europe, according to the figures of Mr Edward Atkinson, there are 250,0U0,000 inhabitants to 1,540,802 square miles of territo ry.

Weeds are treated in various ways, but they are most satisfactory when lying root upward on the ground. —Mrs. Rankin, wife of James Itan kiu, of Penn township, died suddenly oil Tues day evening, of last week.

The house was a large brick and a very good one, and the 1om» is a serious one to Mr. Flick, as there was no insurance upon the property. —A letter from Iceland, dated April 16, notes the terrific winter that island experi enced this year, tbe thermometer having fallen to nearly fifty degrees«below zero, and the wri ter thinks the ice on the northern coasts will not be <1 riven away before August. —One of the good things to be set down to Governor Cornell, of New York, is his vigorous use of the pruning-knife in cutting down extravagauces in appropriation bills. This, under tbe constitution of that State, he can do without vetoing tbe entire bills. —A western wife is said to have notified her husband that having become u Buddhist she by authority of her new faith had divorced him. Here is a sweet new thing in divorce that will be eagerly clutched at sight by other women and a great many men. —Beaver, Lawrence, Butler and Mer cer counties seem to be badly infested just now with horse thieves, burglars, incendiaries and ' swindlers. A few speedy convictions in each ' of these counties are badly needed, to break up these several sources of amusement.— Beater . Timet. —Children-Matinee, Saturday," 2nd of July, 1881, will be given by Dr. Von Meyer hoff, at the Butler Conservatory of Music, (Bap tist Church,) at 4 p. m., ending at 5 p. m.

No programmes cir culated. —The record of the New York Leg islature is a good deal like the diary of the boy | who "got up, washed and went to bed." The Legislature gets up, ballots oi:ce and goes to ! bed.

On Saturday, July Pth old John Robinson's exhibits at Butler. This is colossal amusemen'. enterprise and worthy of a visit from all class es. The menagerie is complete, and the circus the best traveling, Don't forget the date, Sat urday, July i'th. —Mr. John Keistler, of Martinsburg, was arreted yesterday on a charge of raj>e, pre ferred bv his* niece, Miss Ella Boyd, living in Gibsonville, who became the mother of a boy last Wednesday. The uncle escaped on a tech nicality, and now the borough will have to as sume the support of the child. — Petrol in Record 2 sth inst. —The loss of nearly 200 lives by an accident near Cuantla is the first unfortunate incident connected with the railroad movement in Mexico, which has been in the full tide of success. The calamity will, at least, teach the lesson that the bridges should l>e built with care, even if the main line must be completed hurriedly. —When the excellence of Rice as a diet is fully understood its use will be more fre quent and "of da'dy occurrence in every house hold. At this season of the year especially, it may properly be classed as superior to any of the cereals which are in such general u-e for the morning and midday meals. Noother food is so easy of digestion. —When the sky is clear in the even ing the new comet is plainly visible to the north. Its arrival was entirely unexpected to the astronomers. It was first reported on the Ist inst. bv Prof. Gould, of the National Obser vatory of the Argentine Confederation. The length and width of its nucleus have not yet been measured, but we suppose the astronomers will soon anaouee some astonishing figures. —During a trial for assault in Ar kansas a club, a rock, a rail, an axe handle, a knife and a shotgun were exhibited as "the in strument with which the deed was done." It was also shown that the assaulted man defend ed himself with a revolver, a scythe, a pitch fork, a chisel, a hand saw, a flail and a cross dog. The jury decided that they'd have given $5 apiece to have seen the fight. —The new law requiring practition ers of medicine to take their diplomas to the Prothonotaries of their counties to be register ed has been signed by the Governor and has gone into effect, and the penalty for refusing to comply with this law is a fine of SIOO. one-half to go" to the prosecutor and the other half to the county, with imprisonment in the county jail at the discretion of the court. , —During the ten months ended April 30th lust, the United States exported 298,070.- 271 gallons of petroleum and its products, val ued at $31,401,223 a falling off from the ex ports of tbe preceding period of 81,512,959 gal lons and $1,2Ut>,774. In other words, we didn't sell nearly so much petroleum last year as the year before, but we got better prices for that we did sell. —lt is stated that a down caster put glue on his doorstep as a joke on his daughter and her cavalier. The joke was on him, though, for they never found out that they could not get up until the old man went out and told them at -I o'clock in the morning. Then he could not get them off and had to move the door step into the dining room, where they have ever since lived in elegant leisure at his expense. —Prof. Langley has been furnished with funds by a citizen of Pittsburgh to go to some high and dry point in Arizona or south California, and there find out, with the proper apuaratus, how much heat the sun gives the eurth. The published results may comfort sweltering mortals, who will then know what they endure in the summer, and besides may have a practical value, since one of these days we may use the sun's direct heat as a jiotor. A I>onble-Il€»rn<'e, for the end, that some blackguard had cut it off. —Mr. Ulrich Zimmerman, who for many years has driven the mail coach between Zelienople and Rochester, was found dead on the road near Unionville, Beaver Co., last Wednesday morning. Heart disease is suppos ed to have been the cause of his death. He had driven the stage that morning fron. Zelienople to Unionville, when, becoming alarmed at the non-arrival at tnat point of his son with auoth other team, he walked back to look lor him and was found dead soon afterwards. —The more years we getaway from the civil war the larger the number of pension claimants becomes. No less than 130,000 eases are now on file awaiting preliminary informa tion, and 100 a day is announced as the rate of increase. If this keeps on long enough, it will be the easiest way to grant a pension at once to every man, woman and child who was living at the time of the war, and draw the line there —because it must be drawn somewhere. It iB promised that the Brooklyn Bridge will be completed within a year from this June. Its completion will be a decided relief to the people of New York and Bn oklyit, who have already paid nearly if 1.1.000,000 for ita construc tion, and are now asked to pay another million, with the comforting assurance that not more than one million besides will be required to put everything in perfect shape. Judging fiom the experience with thin one, it is probable that the next bridge across the Hast River will be a tuunel. —Law still seems to be the liberal {irofession destined to swallow up the great ma ority of the college graduates. Of those leav ing Yale College with their degree of A. H.» this year, 4'J will become lawyers, 11 doctors, 3 journalists and 5 clergymen. The last item is particularly significant. Constant complaint is made that the ranks of the religious ministry are growing tliin, and that there are more churches than preachers to supply their pulpits. Drove** of C HI»»«'IH. In the grand street pageant which takes place on July 9th, the dav fixed forthe coming of the old John Itobinsoi/s Big Show to Butler can be seen a drove of 2o Camels and Dromedaries. These animals are all elegantly comparlsoncd and are one of the feature*of the Big Show. —Uyumber, known all over the country as the "sleeping Hungarian," has im- E roved rapidly in the past three or four weeks, le. passes the greater part of the day sitting up in bed and is taken out every duy for exercise.

A dispatch from Detroit tells how a i sheriff's wife saved a prisoner lrom the tender mercies of a posse of lynchers. As the lynch ers were engaged securing their prisoner in the jail she fastened the outer doors, started the tjre alarm and called in the whole town. It was lucky for that murderer that the Sheriff was way. —The business men of London have recently giveu a convincing proof of the esteem in which they hold the Young Men's Christian Association by purchasing and bestowing tor their permanent use Exeter Hall. The sum paid for it was £25,000 pounds. In this beauti ful building the Triennial V, M. C, A. Confer ence of all lands will be convened on the 25th of July next. This, it is expected, will be the largest representative gathering that has ever been called together and will be composed of delegates from every cliuie and almost every nation on the globe. A Humstn Meteor! Tho: e who will witness the grand street dis play given bv old John Robiussn on Saturday, Julv 9th, will notice a Monster Cannon and perhaps wonder what this colossal piece of ar mament is used for, We will teell them. The cannon is a part of the Big Show. At each performance it is brought out in the ring and is loaded with powder in the presence of the audience. Then a human being lakes the place of the cannon ball, and at a given signal this human connon ball is whirled with terrific force a distance of over one hundred feet The most sensationul and startling piece of artillery practice ever witnessed in the world, —A novel proposal has lately been laid before the trustees of the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, and is now held under consideration by tliein with some prospect of a favorable an swer. An enterprising Frenchman, who has already had experience in mushroom culture in the vicinity of New York city, complains that he finds no cellars sufficiently lartje for his increasing business, and also that the condi tions of temperature and moisture are not uni form enough to insure the best results ; and therefore seriously offers to rent a portion of the cave for the purpose of rai*.ing such varie ties of edible fungi as inay be foun 1 best suited to the locality. —The dead-lock at Albany still con tinues. Wheeler is now the favorite Republi can candidate for the short term, and Depew for the long. Gov. Cornell is still getting sev eral votes for the long term. His position in this matter has been very exasperating to the so-called stalwarts. He is not a candidate, and yet would not put his name to a paper saying so, because the so-called wanted h nn to add that he wou'd not serve as a Senator if efeeted. He has been aiding Conkling and Piatt from the beginning of the contest and vet they are not satisfied with him. They think he should force some members to vote for them by threatening to veto local bills in which they are interested. There is little doubt that much of the talk to the effect that Secretary lilame is responsible for President Garfield's display of Imck-bone is the veriest nonsense. Mr. Blaine says regarding these charges : "'Mr. Garfield hasdone many things which I would feel proud to have done, but no part of the credit belongs to tue." lie goes further, and says; "After I had decided to accept the State Department I advised Mr. Garfield not to put another Blaine man in the Cabinet, and he did not. The Post Office Department, the most popular in the Government, having over 50,000 employes, was given to an avowed friend of Mr. Conkling. The War Office was given to a'warm friend of Genera) Grant." —Speaking of the continual street blockades iu that city, and of the erection of several blocks of ten and twelve story buildings, a New York City paper says: "We believe the time will come when every important thor oughfare will be tunnelled. Railroads for freight traffic will run through these tunnels to the depots ami wharves, and goods will be shipped upon cars from the cellars of the stores ami warehouses, instead of being loaded uiKin trucks at the street doors. The streets will then be free for the lighter traffic and the sidewalks unencumbered by crates, boxes and bales. The New York of the future will hold its head high in the air and plant its feet deep in the ground." A (slant Ox. On Saturday, July 9th, the citizens of Butler will have un opportunity of witnessing one of the greatest natural curiosities ever on exhibi tion in America. It is simply a wonderful freak of nature —end is to the animal kingdom what Chang, the wonderful Chinese giant, is to the human race—except that in proportionate ratio it is a greater freak of nature. Just think of it, common breed of ox, having attained the mastadon proportions of being twenty hands high, anil weighing nearly two tons, unquestion ably the most colossal specimen of the bovine race in the world. The ox is with John Robin son's Great Show and has created the most un bounded excitement among all who have seen it. The veteran manager claims that it is the great feature of his Big Show. —Professor Goode, special census agent in charge of Fishery .Statistics, gives an interesting account of one of our gr<-at national industries. Including the shore population de pendent for support upon the labors of the men engaged in taking hsh. it is estimated that nearly 1,600,000 persons make their living from this industry. The value of its annual product is believed to oe from forty to fifty millions of dollars. The information presented by Prof. Goode is only a foretaste of what will lie con tained in the forthcoming census reports. It shows how thorough has been the work of the Census Bureau in special lines—for what has lieen done for the fisheries has been done for agriculture, mining, transportation, manufac turing, etc. When General Walker gives to the public the full fruits of the c-nsu< work, we shall have an accurate picture of the opera tion of the great business forces of the country such as we have never hud before. —Appraisers of the estate of Colonel Huberts, tue inventor <>f the oil well tor|>edo, and who died some weeks since at Titusville, have been seven weeks engaged in fixing its value. Their duties are accompanied with a risk thut the appraisers of no dead man's prop erty probably ever ran before. They are oblig ed to visit all the nitro-glycerine safes in the oil region, examine and place a value on their contents. There are thirtv of these magazines connected with the estate in the Bradford field alone. These magazines each contain from l.ooii to 10,000 pounds of the explosive. While the appraisers were cautiously creeping übout in one «.l them which contained 2,000 pounds the other day, a driver of a ltolierls nifro-glyce riue M-Jtp'mj "cuuie Warurg up to Uie Vafe at 'tb« usual break-neok rate. He had been out torpe doing wells. He had seven twenty pound cans left. These he brought into the magazine, car rying two under each arm, one in each hand, and rolling the other along the floor as if they had been sticks of wood. The appraisers lost no time in getting out of that magazine. One 11 un <1 r«MI Ponies. A feature with the old John Robinson Show, which exhibits here in Butler Saturday July 9th, is the heard of small Shetland Ponies.

The Tennesseeans started in the afternoon for home, via Balti more and Washington. A new ballot box has been submit ted to the French goverment. It has two locks, each opening with a differ ent key, and an apparatus which clips a stub or corner from the ticket depos ited by the elector, and drops the stub into one part of the box, the ticket go ing into the other division. Simulta neously the machine registers on a tab let before the voter the number of tick ets c.ipped. The ballots must agree in number with the stubs, and both with the 'tell-tale,' and the voter sees for himself that bis ballot has beeu cast and taken account of. Last Wednesday tbe British House o {Commons rejected a bill to abolish capital puuishment bv a vote 175 to 89. Evidently the old Mosaic law of a life for a l'fe is not likely soon to be set aside in England fora more humane and Christian method of dealing with murderers. In this country the war, with its brutalizing influences, checked the movement for abolishing the gal lows, and there has been no revival of it since. In fact, one or two States which had substituted life imprison ment for the death penalty have re turned to the old system of judicial killing. The monotony of voting acainst time was broken at Albany last Wed nesday by a commotion among the Democrats, who were seized with a panic and dropped Jacobs, their candi date for Conkling's seat, scattering their ballots broadcast among a baker's doz en of fresh names. The cause of their stampede was tbe sudden increase of Mr. Wheeler's vote, which ran up from 38 to 50. They feared Governor Cor nell iniifbt bold that, as Jacobs is plain ly ineligible by the terms of the State Constitution, the votes cast for him are void, and might issue a certificate of election to Wheeler as soon as he should receive a majority of all the val id votes.
