THE Garfield family fund had, up to date, reached $150,000. "Beta" came "too late for this week. Several other matters are also crowded out THE Elmira Free Press says Gui teau has no more right to live than s wild beast FOREIGN Governments are amazed at the unprecedented surplus in the United States Treasury. THE bullet in the President concerns the public more than any bulletin yet issued in regard to him. THE Philadelphia News thinks 'it is a scurvy libel on every decent lunatic in the country,' to call Guiteau insane. THE State Agricultural Fair of this year is to be held at Pittsburgh, August 30th will be the last day for making entries. THE Prohibitionists of this county met in convention in this place on Monday last, and nominated a county ticket. We have not learned the names of the candidates. CHIEF JUSTICE CLIFFORD, of the United States Supreme Court, has un dergone the amputation of a foot for gangrene. His chances for recovery •re reported as doubtful. THERE were 20 degrees difference here in the temperature of .the weather on Sunday last and Sunday a week last. At this writing, Monday, there is about 30 degrees difference. Gov. HOYT vetoed that portion of the appropriation bill which gave to members and employees of the last legislature extra pay in excess of that allowed for one hundred days. 'FROM this time on,' says Secretary Blaine, 'you will see that the Repub lican party will grow stronger for hav ing asserted that men are elected to of fice to discharge certain lawful duties and not to be bosses ' THE prayer of fifty million people still goes up for the recovery of the President. There is not a household where sympathetic hearts do not re spond to the great sorrow which has cast its shadow over the land. OUR farmers have generally secured their wheat crop, which is a very good one. The hay crop will be very heavy—better than for years. Corn is improving wonderfully and is now thought will be an average yield. The potatoes, although much damaged by the bugs in many places, will be a good crop. ALL clergymen who served as chap lains during the war, as well as all who labored with the Christian and Sani tary Commissions, are invited to a re union to be held at Chautauqua on the sth and 6th of August next. This is to be a combination of 'love least' and 'experience meeting.' It is expected that a large number of ex-workers will be brought together, some of whom are now becoming well-stricken in years. THE S. & A. railroad will be extend ed to Butler an soon as tbe work can be done. A new line will be run from New Hope, or possibly tbe Coalville branch will be utilized. In either event, tbeS.

All the news is very favorable for the recovery of President Garfield Day by day the bulletins of the phy sicians and all other news give not only hope but confidence that the worst is past, and that the President will survive. The bullet will likely have to remain in his body, and its location is now the only matter of any uneasi ness. But, many men are living to-day with bullets in their persons, being in no vital part. The treatment, and all the symptoms in the President's case, lead us to conclude that there will be no blood poisoning or inflamation from the ball, and that he will live—for a long time we hope. THE Hon. James Mitchell has been confined to his home, in Summit town ship, for some weeks papt. When first we heard of his illness we did not sup pose it serious, and are glad to learn now that he is recovering. His ail ment commenced on one of his bfuids but extended to the body and assumed the appearance of erysipelas. Judge Mitchell is a warm hearted, generous man, and much esteemed by all our citizens, who hope soon to learn of his entire recovery. THE Democrats of Ohio last week nominated Mr. John W. Bookwalter, of Springfield, that State, as their can didate for Governo# this fa 1J ; He is reported as wealthy, and hence it u said they have nominated a Mr. Pock etbook. The Republicans, for their candidate, have renominated the present Governor, Foster, otherwise called by bis opponents "Calico Charley." He is popular and Wfi tb'Bk will be re elected. The election icou»es of fn Oc tober, and is the only State election that will likely be an exciting one this fall. A LAW was passed by the late islature, and since approved by the Governor, defining the duties of court stenographers in the several counties of this State. It provides that tbev shall, on the trial of all civil cases, take down as part of their report of the judge's charge, every ruling, order and remark of the judge relating to the case upon trial, made In tho presence of thejuryinany stage of the proceed ings-, to which either party may except in the same manner and with the game effect as is now practiced in relation to the judge's charge. CONKLINO AND THE STALWART AS SASSIN.—Mr. Conkling has done every thing ia his power to destroy the character of the brave and true states man who lies at the door of death ; has accused him of falsehood, gross and habitual bad faith, shameful cowardice and base treachery to his party, and has spared no pains to make the people believe that the Republican party was being ruined and the Republic itself was being endangered, solely by the bad conduct and bad faith of the Presi dent. Well, one Stalwart says he be lieved it He believed it so much that, to use his own words, he looked upon the killing of the 'a political necessity.'— N. Y. Tribune. THE Franklin Spectator very wise ly observes that 'Guiteau's crime will have or should have the effect to pre vent future national conventions from putting any man on a ticket fur Vice President unless he shall be considered fit for the Presidency. Tried by this rule, Arthur could not have been nom inated at Chicago. Men of his stamp reach the second place on a national ticket only because the office has been looked upon as a sort of fi ft h-wheel-to a-wagon affair—a mere figure-head- The sooner this erroneous notion is dropped, the better it will be for the country.' In other words, the ticket Bkould be so made up as to work both ways—that it would make no differ ence which way you might read it; you would find a competent man at either end. HAD President Garfield died on the 4th of July, as was greatly feared at the time, he would have added to a re markable chain of coincidences in re gard to that day. Just fifty-five years before, on the 4th of July, 182<>, there died two of his predecessors. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, were both called totheir fathers on the anniversary of that immortal Declaration, which one of them had written and the other elo quently defended. Another President, James Monroe, died on the anniversary of the same memorable day in IN3I, just five years afterwards. The anni versary this year came very near ad ding the name of another President to the list of those to whom the day has been fatal and glorious. But (lod willed that President Garfield should not fall while in the discharge of his great office at the hands of an assassin. —Ex. THE doctrine of human equality re ceives a staunch recognition in the fact that the new Government bonds and currency now bear the signature of a colored man. Roliert Toombs, when he heard of the emancipation proclama tion, promised before he died to call the roll of his slaves from the summit of Bunker Hill; but instead of owning slaves now; instead of trading cotton for human lives, the -very money he receives for bis produce, or his legal services, bears the autbograph of a man who was once sold for a tliou sand dollars, and once felt the lash that had fallen upon the flesh of his race for a thousand years. John Brown did not die in vain Tho committee having in charge the fund raised to lift tbe mort gage from his widow's home would make the act significant and historical by offering the holder of the mortgage legal-tender notes of the new issue signod by blanch K. Bruce.—Ex. QPlpe Ptttl.ee : PuJtJL«*r, sl«. t 3(ultf 20, 1881. PENNSYLVANIA State Reports which used to cost $4 50 per volume, will hereafter be Bold at $1.17 each. That is a great fall in the price of books. Why is this? Well, on the T2th of June, 1878, the Governor approved an act of the Legislature which provided for the appointment of a State reporter at a fixed salary of $3,000 per annum, and also providing for the letting of the publication of the decisions of the Supreme Court, after due notice of the time and place of receiving scaled pro posals for publishing such reports, to the person offering to do it at the low est price, and who can give security in a bond of $20,000 for tho proper exe cution of his contract. He must print such decisions on good paper and in good style, in vol umes of not les sthan 700 pages; must keep them for sale at the contract price, and at such place in the State as sh a '! be designated. The lowest bid under the law was the above $1.17 per vol ume, made by a responsible firm in Xew Y°rk : This is good news for the Attorney*. A DAY or THANKSGIVING. —'The idea of having a day of thanksgiving for the recovery of the President is a com uiondable Qne ; atjd as a matter of course the Governors of tho different states are responding heartily to the invitation of Governor Foster, of Ohio, to unite in the observance of such a day. It is entirely proper that they should, but they be careful not to be too previous in fixing upou a day, until his convalesconcc is fully assured. The recovery of President Garfield, it is evident, will be very slow, and the danger will not be over for a consid erable time yet; therefore it would be both ? 8 UQwise t0 fix upon a day to give thanks 4nl.it Garfield is much better, if not entirely F&fQrered. Alter Lb&l pit ftp the whole nation should unite iu giving tbant», ''f making a celebration of the event worthy of the great desired result.

NE W YOPK- The legislature of Ke»v Y or k °W Saturday last elected the Hon Warner Miller to tho United Htatem Senate in place of Piatt resigned. It will be recollected that Piatt was induced by funkling to resign with hi in their seats in the Senate, thinking they would be sent back, an(J their ppfjw against the Administration be thus eii r dorstd by their State. Piatt i)ftd only taken bis seat in tho Senate last March and had therefore nearly six years to serve. Conkling hus thus him down with himself. It is supposed a successor to Conkling will also be elected and if so then will the course of this haughty man be thoroughly re buked by the Republicans of bis own State. The Camerons of this State bare heretofore acted with Conkling aud whether they will continue to do so remains to be seen. It nas so seri ously affected Senator Don Cameron already that it will be impossible for him to recover from his known associa tion with Conkling. He will likely try to cut clear from him now, A PLEASANT VISITOR. The other evening, July 12th, an apparent stranger stepped luto our of fice, with light tread and pleasant, smiling countenance. He had just ar rived on the evening train from the west he said, and was in haste to get out towards Prospect to some friends. He seemed to know us, and soon made himself known as Rev. K. E. Mcßride, now of Senaca, Kansas, an old Butler county boy, aDd a private soldier in Company D, 11th Pennsylvania Regi ment Volunteer Corps. After a few brief words of the joy it gave him to return and see old friends, he presented us with a copy of a neatly bound little book, aud promised to see us again be fore he returned home. On looking at the book we find it entitled *'ln The Ranks." "From the Wilderness to Ap pomattox, by R. E. MclJride," etc. It is not only well written but (jutUi in* teresting. It treats in detail of all the battles that Company I) was engaged in, giving muster roll of same, as well as of Company C, sane Jleginient, and nearly all Rutlercounty boys, and all the killed and wounded, and where, of both those Companies. In a word it is a book that we would suppose very in teresting to all surviving membor* of those Companies, as well as to the friends of the deceased ones. We see that Mr. Mcßride states in one of the first chapters of his book that, "When the civil war began my home was with Mr. John Dunn, in Rutler county, Pa." By this perhaps many old friends will recognize h'm. Mr. I) unn was a well known citiz.cn living about live miles westward from Butler. Mr. Mcßride is related to Mr. Ebcnezer Dodds of ConnonijencHsing township, aud others in tins county. We do not know whether the book he has written is for sale or not, but if it is we incline to think that it will have many purchasers in this county. Profitable I'IIIICUIH.

THE STKICk KV PRESI DENT. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT 1113 CASE THE BULLET —WHERE IT IS PROBA BLY LOCATED. WASHINGTON, July 14. —Dr. Bliss expressed the opinion that the bullet passed through the liver and is now lodged in the hypochondria. A swell ing has been noticed in front, being black and blue in color at lirst, but it had subsided and finally disappeared. This probably marked the location of the ball, the discoloration being the re sult of the blow. If this theory proves correct the extraction of the bullet will l»e a comparatively simple affair, al. though its extraction is not a matter of absolute necessity at all. Dr. Bliss says that the method of turning the patient in order to gut access to his wound Is by raising him up on the sheet, when those upon his left relax their hold, gradually lowering their side of the sheet and allowiug the President to roll slightly in that direc tion. AH the material used in dress ing the wound is kept constantly ear bolized, and a carbolized spray is thrown upon the wound at the times of dressing. "THE HEART OP THE NATION WILL NOT LET THE OLD SOLDIER DIE." At midnight last night the Prpsi dent was sleeping quietly as he had been most of the evening. His fever has considerably decreased since the date of the last official bglletlq. His symptoms at that hour were all favora ble. When he was last awake he ask ed Dr. Key burn what the news was. The doctor replied that the Governors of the several States had it in view to issue, when he (the President) should be out of danger, proclamations appoint ing & gpPp&l thanksgiving to God for the answered prayer of (he na tion, The President seemed touched and gratified. In conversation with the President yesterday Colonel Rock well made the remark to him that 'the heart of the nation was in this room.' The words seemed to make an impres sion upon him, and last night, while tioionei was sitting by his bedside, he murmured in his sleep: 'The heart of the nation will not let the old soldier die.'

To-day Hell, the telephone man, is expected to arrive from Boston, where he has been experimenting for soirenjl days with an electric apparatus design ed to do the work that a surgeon's probe cannot safely effect. These ex periments are to be made with the in duction balance, a most delicate elec trical instrument for detecting the pres ence of metals, a modified form of which cculd be easily applied, it is IMJ lieved, In this case with a reasonable expectation of success. This instru ment consists of two short glass cylin ders, around each of which are wound two parallel coils of fiu<; insulated cop per wire. One coil of each pair is in cluded in § battery circuit, in which there is a clock luiuropbone. The oth er part is placed in a closed cirpijit with a receiving telephone. Iu the investir gatlons of tbi«4 matter by Oeorge M- Hopkins bo camo to conclusions which lie explains an follows with suggestion# as to the results tLat may be obtained : —'lt occurred to me to try the effect of a lead bullet upon the instrument, placing it at different distances and wip&ruting jt from the coil by insulat ing material. Tha result exceeded my anticipations, as with a scf. «f polls that were by no means sensitive I waa able to locate the bullet with tho coils raised a vertical distance of nearly two inches. With more sensatke appara tus it is more than probable that the bullet might bo located, even though distant several inches.' By passing a pair of toi|s oyer the President's back and abdomen, and by comparative tests the depth of the bullet might he ascer tained. Professor .Newcombe says the experiments so far made go to demon strate the truth of Mr. Hopkins' com elusions. When Mr. Bell arrives, they hope to be able to locate the bullet, so that the doctors can go to work with flort&i'ity of success. TIIK t'UhKllfiSW MAKES A "TREATY.'

'All right,' said Judge Swaim. 'What is it?' 'Well, you keep my mouth tilled with ice, and I won't talk at all.' 'AII right, I'II do it.' The ice was given, and the Presi dent, quite for some time.

'EVERY CHANCE OF RECOVERY.' PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—"The President has every chance of recovery now," said Dr. Agnew at his Haver ford Station country residence last night "The period of danger from peritonitis is over, and there is nothiug in his condition now that need cause alarm. That rise in his temperature last night and the quickning of the pulse was not strange. These altera tions occur in all such cases. Every day brings him into a better condition. I consider the prospects of his certain recovery as good as could be wished.' In answer to the question us to bow long the President would be confined to his room he answered that it luight be many weeks. It might be until September or October—there w; ,a uo telling. 'Doctor, a great deal has been said of the President's will-power and his strong constitution. Do you consider his will-power has had much to do with his improvement ?' much,' said the doctor; 'the things that have been in his favor all along are his temperature habits.

The wires went down in the common ruin and only meagre details can be jfiven. It seems that two currents of air swept the val ley simultaneously, coming from dif ferent directions. The scene was ap palling. Stone and brick buildings were tp their foundations and the air was full of debris. The town and its suburbs are now a mass of ru ins.

When the signal was given tho robbers rushed forward and shot the conductor and made an effort to kill the engineer. The latter escaped in the darkness, and a stone mason, who was one of the passengers, was mis taken for hi|)| and killed immediately Having secured possession of the train, one of the robbers ran to the engine, applied the steam and started tho train over the track at a furious rate of speed. Some of the gang then started for the express messenger and another squad for the cars, where the order was given for the to fjold up their hands and surrender their money and valuables. The men sent to the ex press par succeeded in knocking the messenger d°wn and securing hiskcyf. With these they opened the safe and secured all the money and valuables it contained. The messenger vas knock ed down because there was not enough money In tho safe to satisfy tho robbers.

Before the robbers suceeded in rob bing the passengers a brakeman who had NOT IJIL'PH RoticpjJ by the gang, pulled the air bcake, and the train came to a standstill. This frightened tho robbers, who left the train and made for the woods. As soon as the passengers and what few train men remained recovered themselves the engineer steamed up and started the train for the city.
