—These are the dreaded -'dog days."
Why they are so called, is thus explained by
some one who pretends to know : "The days,
which are 40 in number, take their name from
the Dog Star, or Sirius; and are sometimes
called 'Canicular Days," because the Latin
name of the star is 'Canicular.' They are the
days between the 18th of July aud the 28th of
August, during which time the Ancients as
cribed the great heat to the manner in which
the Dog Star raged."
—lt is remarkable that, simultane
ously with the advancement of our older and
larger colleges in their scholastic requirements,
there has been a steady and great falling off in
the number of young men furnished by them
to the Christian ministry. The further they
have risen above high schools, the less has been
the tendency of their graduates to devote them
selves to the study of theology aud to enter the
clerical profession.
—England has just finished a ram
that is supposed to be almost invincible, the
United States Government has been trying a
torpedo that may blow the raiu to pieces, and a
Pittsburg man has been experimenting with a
new breech-loading rifled cannon of unusual
power. That old problem about what would
happen if an irresistible force should meet an
immovable body will yet be put to the test if
inventors go on improving their guns, torpe
does, and armored vessels.
—The murderers of McClure, the
McKeesport hardware man, have not yet been
apprehended, although they have been hunted
for through the woods of Allegheny, Westmore
land, Fayette and Green counties since the
murder. This was one of the greatest outrages
that has ever been comraited in Western Penn
sylvania, and when the murderers are arrested,
aud their identity established beyond a doubt,
by confession or otherwise, an application of
the law as set forth bv Judge Lynch would
have a good effect on the desperadoes of tliut
lawless region.
—The directors or the Glass Com

—A ram which runs under the water
with great speed, and is built to throw torpe
does and do great destruction generally, is the
latest discovery. It is taken tor granted that
the thing was built to destroy England, because
an Irish schoolmaster invented it and superin
tended the construction. But nobody has ven
tured to explain how the ram was to be got
across the ocean without detection. Doubtless
the Fenian leaders talk very ferociously and
alarmingly, but so long as their supposed
'plots' are carried on so openly and with so am
ple warning, Eugland need not feel any consid
erable concern about their doings.
—The North Washington Academy
will open on the 23d inst. A good attendance
is expected. Thorough teachers for the next
year have been secured and the Faculty expect

out and adopted at this academy—a Teacher's

—Vennor's prognostications for the
balance of August are as follows : On the 7th
heat and storms will prevail, and along until
the 13th he calculates on sultry weather, occa
sional heavy showers, and cool nights. On the
14th and 15th it will be cloudy, but pleasant;
on the 16th possibly storms in this latitude,
and on the two following days hail storms with
possible frost, when heat and storms will occur
until the 21st. The 22d is billed as sultry and
showery ; 23d and 24tb, heat and wind ; 25th
and 20th, heavy storms on the lakes ; 27th to
2!>th cooler, with rains and frost in the north
ern section, and 30th and 31st, fair and pleasant
weather, nights cool.
—The opinion is general among
stock operators that Vanderbilt and Gould are
working together to produce a panic. Both
have sold stocks at a high figure, and it would
not be unpleasant to them to see the prices bro
ken down so that thev could buy these back at
cheap rates. This is the explanation now given
of the railroad war, now raging so savagely,
and which we are told will continue to rage un
til the market be broken. The probability in
creases that there will be a stock panic early in
September, when the now over-flowing reser
voir of money in New York begins to be sensi
ble of the drain of currency to tne west to move
the crops.
—Prohibition was beaten in North
Carolina, last Thursday, by un adverse majori
ty of about 40.000. This is not to be wondered
at. In fact, tne only strange thing about the
matter is that the Legislature should have
submitted the proposition to a popular vote.
luStates which have had far more experience
than North Carolina with legislation against
the liquor traffic there is no marked sentiment
now in favor of attempting absolute prohibi
tion. Public opinion moves, instead, in the
direction of more thorough measures to curb
and limit the trade in stimulating drinks. The
trouble with prohibition is twofold—it does not
prohibit, for liquor selling goes on in spite of
it, and it is regarded by a large portion of the
community as an invasion of individual liberty.
—The Yorktown celebration is sink
ing to limit# which promise to make it practi
cable, its projectors at first proposed a celebra
tion lasting twenty days or more. Each of the
thirteen original States was to have day to
itself, furnishing an oration and other alluring
features; then several days were set apart for
the celebration by Congress and for miscella
neous performances. Such a scheme would
have been ambitious even for a great city, with
its variety of attractions to occupy the time ; iu
the little Virginia village where the ceremonies
must take place, it was preposterous. Now the
local programme has been changed so as to be
gin only on the Ist of October, and by dint of
orations, fireworks, promenade concerts, and a
boat race the time will be occupied until the
national ceremonies of Oct. 18 and 19. This
degree of concentration will prove an advan
tage.
—1 he Lynchburg Virginian de
scribes an ingenious trap devised by a Virginia
farmer to capture sheep-killing dogs. Having
suffered severely from the depredations of dogs
upon his sheep-fold, he built around a number
of sheep that dogs had killed an inclosure of
rails twelve feet high and about ten feet square
at the ground, the sides of the trap sloping in
ward until an opening was left about five feet
square. Any dog could easily climb such a
sloping fence and enter the pen, but not even a
grevhound could jump out of it. In three
nights the farmer captured forty-six dogs, in
cluding fifteeu or twenty that had never been
seen before in that neighborhood. This, after
there hud been a public slaughter of all do?s
suspected of sheep-lcilling, save one, whose mas
ter could not be convinced of his guilt. The
trap was built for his especial benefit, and it
caught him the first night.
—Mr. Crowe, of Peoria, Illinois, who
is just now at war with the Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, still lights the lamps of
the western city in which he makes his home;
for the story or his arrest was, it appears, only
a practical joke played upon a "too credulous
reporter." Some reporter who had heard that
machines capable of blowing a ship to atoms
had been found on a Cunard stean.er, that
Crowe ha«l made them that it was against the
law and that Crowe had been taken into custo
dy by the viewed the whole case
from a standpoint of primitive faith in author
ity, and thought the story of Crowe's arrest not
necessarily ridiculous, and therefore sent it for
ward. But of oourse it was a hoax and the
American eagle still proudly flaps its wings
over Crowe, who is safe in the protection of the
law which, so far as is shown, he has not yet
SIRE JUNITEV : PNILER, P*., SLUCITTST 10, 1881.
violated ; for, though he admit* that he made
the machines, that is not a crime, and it re
mains to be ascertained who put them upon
the ship, or even packed them for shipment,
since both these acts are punishable under va
rious sections of the Revised Statutes of the
United States.
—There is a steamship race every
year from China to England, the prize being
the glory and profit of putting the first cargo of
the new crop of teas into the Loudon market.
This year the Glencoe arrived on June 30, four
days earlier than the earliest previous arrival.
The Glencoe was al.--o the first steamer to arrive
in each of the two preceding years. The Glen
eagle carried off the prize in 1878, the London
Castle in 1877, ami the Glenartney led the way
in each of the four years ending with 1876. The
Glenartney has iust made a quick passage trom
China to New \ ork pretty nearly in company
with a tea ship of a rival liue under interesting
circumstances, although if there is any point
on which the two captains agree wholly and
unequivocally it is that there wn no race. Or
dinarily there is no race to New York, for the
early teas come first by rail from San Francis
co, to which place they are brought by the Pa
cific Mail steamships, but there were some cir
cumstances this year which would serve to sup
ply a reason for a race if one had really occur
red. The Glenartney arrived at the Lightship,
off New York tarbor, 50 days, 17 hours and 15
minutes after leaving Aniov with her cargo.
—lt is somewhat unfortunate that
the question of a reform in the Civil Service
thould have received its present impetus from
the injury to the President. It tends to destroy
the proper perspective of the subject, and to
force secondary matters int.) the foreground.
The question is not one of saving the time and
suiting the convenience of public officials,
neither is it one of guarding the President from
such attacks of disappointed office-seekers. Nor
is it even the problem of securing for the coun
try a better administration of the public offices
than it now enjoys. It is "llow snail we get
rid of the professional politician, who works
for the party for the sake of an office, and be
comes the slave of its leaders in order to retain
the office ? How shall we prevent the sixty
thousand office-holders from becoming an or
ganized machine to repress all free expression
of popular feeling and opinion ?" The only
true solution is to be found in elevating every
office holder above the level of party dictation,
by giving him security for his place so long as
he Behaves himself in it. This will have sev
eral advantages. In the first place, it will re
duce the appointments to so small a number,
that it will not be worth anyone's time to wait
for them ; and it will make'it possible to exert
public opinion in favor of good and against bad
nominations. In the second, the citizen who
holds an office will have just as much interest
in political management as the citizen who is
out of office, and will have just as few facilities
for such management. The sixty thousand will
be no longer a political machine. In the third,
offices held tut vitam aut ctilpatu will be so
much more valuable, that they will be accepted
at a lower rate of coni]>ensation than at preseDt,
and the incumbents will have more powerful
motives to honesty in the public service. Last
ly, the official experience acquired in any de
partment will be saved to the Government, in
stead of being destroyed by removals and the
substitution of green hands. — The American.
The above seems to us to be all right, so far
as the departments at Washington, customs
and internal revenue collectors, foreign minis
ters and consuls, etc., are concerned, but we
think the postmasters of the country should be
made elective, every man who receives his mail
at a certain P. O. to be a qualified elector for
the filling of that P. 0., and the people of any
community would undoubtedly retain a post
master who gave entire satisfaction.
Pennsylvania Slate College
Scholarship.
STATE COLLEGE, CENTRE 00., Pa., I
July 11, 1881. (
To Hon. John M. Greer, Uutler, Pa. :
DEAII Slß— The Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees of the Pennsylvania State
College have determined to establish fifty (50)
free scholarships in the institution—one for
each Senatorial district in the State. All tuition
in the College is already free. These scholar
ships, in addition to the tuition, will entitle the
holders thereof to exemption from the payment
of other college charges for incidentals, room
rent, fuel, and use of furniture.
It is believed that this can be done without
adding materially to the expenses of the institu
tion, whilst its benefits will be enlarged to the
extent of these scholarships.
The conditions aro, that the scholar, after a
competitive examination of the studies required
for admission, receive the appointment from the
Senator of his district, and that said scholar be
at least fifteen (15) years of age, of good char
acter, and fully prepared for admission to the
Freshmen class. The stndent BO appointed
shall be entitled to the benefits of his scholar
ship for the four years of liis college course,
provided that his conduct and class standing be
satisfactory to the Faculty. So soon as avt jan
cy occurs, from any cause, the Senator of the
district shall have authority to fill the scholar
ship by a new appointment, under similar condi
tions.
In view of these facts, you will please arrange
for an examination to be held at some suitable
point in your district, by a committee approved
ly yourtelf. The subjects for examination for
the year 1881-82 a e. for all applicants, the com
mon English branches, Physical Geography,
Higher Algebra (to Quadratics), Geometry (4
books), and U. 8- History. The special require
ments of applicants for admission to the Scien
tific course will be the elements of Natural Phi
losophy ; the special requirements made of Clas
sical students are Cesar <3 books), Cicero's Ora
tions (8), and Xenoplion's Anabasis. A student
whose qualifications fall, in some respects, be
low the standard, but are in others so much
above that standard as to give a reasonable
hope that he will make up his deficiencies, mav
be admitted on probation. Should no one pre
sent himself who is entitled to enter as a Fresh
man, a qualified applicant for higher class stand
ing may be admitted.
As soon as the appointment shall have been
made in your diatrict you will please notify the
college authorities of the fact, giving the name
and address of the appointee.
Although our staudard of admission to the
college classes will be higher after the coming
setsion. and special courses in Civil Engineering
Chemistry and Physics, and Natural Science
have been added to the courses recognized iu
the prexeut catalogue, I forward a copy of that
catalogue as giving, on pages 18 and 30, a cor.
rect idea of tue preparation required of those
who would now enter as Freshmen. We shal'
be glad to fnrnish any farther information con
cerning this or other matters relating to the
College.
Requesting your early and hearty co -operation
in securing, for your "scholarship," the best
student available, I remain,
Yours respectfully,

TIIE FAIR.
BUFFALO TP., August 8, 1881.
MESSRS. EDITORS:—I have been
looking over the catalogue of Premiums
for the next annual Fair of Butler
county, and find that liberal induce
ments have been offered to every one
seeing fit to attend with articles for
competition. I think that it is nothing
but right that our citizens over the
county should not only feel but take an
interest in having the coming fair a
complete success. The managers can
not do this without the aid, and I
would say the generous support, of the
people generally, in the townships and
boroughs. A few men in Butler, or
elsewhere, cannot make the thing a
success, without the support of all.
And to whose interests does the coming
Fair add more to than farmers and
mechanics? Let every man think of
this, and by a united -effort good can
be accomplished, benefiting all. Let
every man take something. All can
not have premiums, but all can try,
and no one knows if his article is best
till he puts in in competition with his
neighbors.
There are plenty of people go to
Fairs to see what is to be seen, and
they say, "why I have something at
home that will beat that." Now if all
who have these better things at home
would take them out, they would not
only gratify themselves by the compar
ison with others, but gratify every oth
er person. The premium list offers in
ducements to all branches of industry
and art to enter their articles of what
ever class. The report of the last Fair
held at Butler, ranks well with others
in the State, in the State Agricultural
report; and all that is wanting now, is
for the people of the county to take the
matter in hand and make the next one
a complete success; in o»her words,
make it one that every citizen of the
county will be glad to look upon, and
going home can say." It was the best
Fair ever held in Butler county." By
so doing you will bring your county
into notice at home, as well as any
from h->me.
Our county is among the richest in
mineral wealth of any in the State. Her
coal, oil, limestone, iron ore, is known
over the world. By a united effort let
us make known to outsiders her agri
cultural and other wealth, for she is as
great in these as in the others. If by
these few lines I have done anything
toward forwarding the interests of my
native county, I will feel fully repaid,
by not only being on hands myself, but
seeing hundreds of others in attend
ance Nor do I wish them to go merely
to see, but bring with them something
for others to see. If all do so, then
will our Fairs hereafter lie a place
where the attractions will draw not
only the residents of this but of other
counties. ZENO.

Nothing on Earth HO Good.
Certainly a strong opinion, said one
of our reporters to whom the following
was detailed by Mr Henry Kashop,
with Mr. Geo. E. Miller, 418 Main St.,
this city: I suffered so badly with
rheumatism in my leg last winter, that
I was unable to attend to my work,
being completely helpless. I heard of
St. Jacobs oil and bought a bottle, af
ter using which I felt greatly relieved.
With the use of the second bottle I
was completely cured. In my estima
tion there is nothing on earth so good
for rheumatism as St Jacobs Oil. It
acts like a charm.

A Benetielent Action.
The worn look and miserable feel
ings of those closely confined in mills,
or at desks, or work tables, are caused
by weak Stomach, Kidneys or bowels,
and show the necessity for some mild
tonic to build them up. No one need
suffer thus who will use Parker's Gin
ger Tonic; for without intoxicating it
has such a beneficient action on these
sluggish orgaus and so cleanses the
poisenous matters from the system, that
rosy cheeks and good health and spirits
are soon brought back again.— Express.
