CHIEF JUSTICE CLIFFORD, of the

THERE were 20 degrees difference

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

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

THE PRESIDENT GETTING
WELL.
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.

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

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

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.

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.'

HUNTING FUJI TIIE BULI.ET IIY ELECTRIC
ITY.
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.'
(icneral Swaim relates many aPWB:

'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

September or October—there w; ,a uo
telling.
'Doctor, a great deal has been said

his will-power has had much to do
with his improvement ?'

things that have been in his favor all

'Why. certainly; right on h'» elbow

was taken out about one and one-quar

the same size was also torn olf. I
remember anking the president shortly
after the shoooting if it was the first

He said that it waj the second, but
Guitcau said positively that it was the
fjrst, for after he had fired he says he
saw the president's body quiver all

ion for cases where the diploma has
been lost, and for persons who have
been continuously practicing for ten
years without having a diploma.
The penalty for a practitioner omit
ting to register his diploma, etc., or for
otherwise violating or neglecting to
comply with any provision of tho act,
is a fine of $-200, one half of which goes
to the prosecutor, or au imprisonment
pot exceeding one year, or both, at the
discretion of the court.
Prothanotary Ilussell is now pre
pared to attend to tho registration of
physicians. When they come to be
registered they should bring their orig
inal diplomas as well as copies of the
same.
I>r. C. M. C. Campbell, of Martins
burg, was the first who appeared be
fore the Prothonotary to comply with
the law. Since then we believe a num
ber of other physicians have also ap
peared and Iv-en registered.
Destroyed by a Cyclone.
ST. PAIL, July 16. —The town of
Xevv Ulm, situated on the Minnesota
river, some sixty-five miles from St.
Poul and containing about 3,500 peo
ple, was wrecked by a cyclone late
yesterday afternoon. 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. West New on, in the neighbor
ing county of Nocolet, was visited and
a family of three killed.
The following is an imperfect list of
the killed and wounded in the
valley : The kil|e(} iu >few Vjin are
little soil of Mr. Eckey; Laura Wright,
aged 11 years, found on the prairie de
capitated, and head not yet fouud; son
of Mr Warner, aged fourteen years.
Only six bodies vyere foqnd. fcill :
ed fu tne town Severances, near bv,
were Mariin Frank, Joseph Killubs,
wife and three children. One child
was badly wounded, the surviver of
the family. In West Newton a child
of Mr. Looms, and an old £efitle^au (
got who \yus found with
his arms clasped to tree, were killed.
The county is peopled almost wholly
by Germans, forty-eight of whom were
in Minneapolis at the time
thp 3ttd of them knew
of the catastrophe until to day, when
all left immediately for their home 3,
with no knowledge as to wh9th®r Vhpy
tyould pnf} fami)y, friends or puoperty.
Ihe Pioneer Press special says the
track of the cyclone was a scene of
awful grandeur during tho stoi-in and
an appajling wreck after it, whi|e the
troubled air was full of debris and
weirdly lit up by blazing balls of elec
tric fluid. Everybody is wild with
excitement and it is almost impossible
aepurji a correct of t|ie
tastrophe or damage.
I>ariii£ Train Robbery and
Murder in inisoiirl.
The Jtocji Iglapd, 111., Ar<j\\s gives
the following account of the robbery pf
a tr;MP tjip C. H- I, <V I'- H- H at
VVinsfpu, \f°-, Friday uig|)f :
'The train was boarded at Winston
by » gang of men, while a number of
acconjplicps >yerp alfoady In different
cars. 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. They threatened to kill
him but spared his lite when he told
them that there was no money in his
possession.
TIIE ROBBERS ALARME.).
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. The passengers
arrived here at about 11 o'clock this,
pjortjujg, been delayed for some
time on account of a a 1 the
other sido of Davenport, E. L, Mar.
tin, one of the passegers, says the
robbers ransacked the safe, securing
SI,OOO in money, $3,000 in valuables,
and a government bond of SI,OOO.
The brakeman on duty, whose name
cannot be ascertained, rushed through
the train as soon as he learned of the
F of £he poniiifctof, and informed
the passengers that an effort \yoj|ld )»JJ
made to rob them. As soon as this
had l>een accomplished the brakeman
started forward, and when he reached
the second coach the robbers entered
both doors with pistols in their hands,
demanding money. Tho brakeman
{Milled the cord attached to tho air
Njrajlie, and soon afterward the train
stopped." Tho iiten jumped off tho
cars and made for the "woAds. Mr.
Martin says that not more than 15
minutes elapsed from the time of leaving
Winston until the robbers jumped from
tjie train a n fl lied. The sleeping car
por|.er locked }pmse|f i|p jfj tfje statP
room of the sleeper, a»U djd not m H h°
himself visible until the train was near
Washington.
Conductor Westfall, who was killed,
lived at Wilton, where his remains
were left this morning. The rohlx'rs
ntimbered thirteen ami two of them
had handkerchiefs tied about their
faces.
