This placing of the legal adver tising of the county in papers of mere local circulation is an imposition upon a majority of the people of the county. —Hon. Samuel Calvin, of Hollidavs burg, recently sold the timber right on a tract of land in White township, Cambria county, for the snug sum of $45,000. The same tract, timber and all, was bought, it is stated, a number of years ago by that geDtleman from a gentleman of Ebeusburg, now deceas ed, for the sum of SI,OOO. —A Detroit dispatch announces the arrest in Michigan of Captain How gate, late of the Signal Service, on the charge of having embezzled from the Government while in that service to the extent of $50,000 or over.

It is believed that this scale will in the future prevent disturbauces between the employer and employe. —lt sounds a trifle sensational to say that at the present rate of settle ment the agricultural of our public do main lying within the arable region, will be all taken up with tLree years. Yet that is precisely the estimate of the Public Land Commission which has just completed its labors and made its report which cannot, however, be printed for public distribution until Congress shall have made an appro priation for the work. —A case from Greenville last week bad to be continued because the princi pal witness was a member of the Na tional Guard, and was absent at the an nual encampment. Judge McDermitt directed the District Attorney to take out an attachment for the witness, sav ing "it was time people were taught that the war has been ended seventeen years, and that the civil power is above the military power."— Mercer Dis patch. —The explosive character of flour dust, to which attention was first sharply directed by the disastrous fires at Minneapolis over three years ago, and which was additionally illustrated less than three weeks since by the blowing up of part of Ehret's brewery in New York through a spark setting fire to the dust in a malt grinding apartment, received still further con firmation last week in ibe destruction of the Atlantic Mills in St. Louis. —lt now appears that the reason given by the Chinese Government for recalling the Chinese students in this country is that they have abandoned their national political views and reli gion, and have become Americanized. If it is true, as is reported, that a Chi nese student was ordered home some years ago, and beheaded for similar reasons, it is natural that the students here should be rather loath to return to the Flowerv Kingdom. —Guiteau evidently is not satisfied with the blood he has shed, and longs to butcher some one else. One of the jail guards came near furnishing him a victim last Wednesday. Probably Guiteau is desigDed in the economy of nature, to ornament a gallows; but it would cause no one great regret, nor interfere in any material degree with the harmony of the universe, if he should be shot instead. The misfor tune is that the guard's pistol wasn't pointed so as to cover the assassin's right iliac fossa when it went off. —The latest discovery in nature is the ice worm. The nematoxis eocena, or ice fiend, is a peculiar worm, about six inches in length. It is almost transparent, and can conceal itself in a block of ice readily. Careless house keepers are apt not to notice its pres ence when cleaning the morning lump preparatory to placing it in the cooler or refrigerator. It is through the rav ages of these worm 3 that the ice melts so quickly, and persons are apt to as cribe it to a defective manufacture of the ice chest or to careless wrapping of the frigid lump. —Mr. J. C. Moore, of Titusville, was in town last week, stopping at the Lowry House, where he had an electri cal apparatus with which he demon strated the superiority of the insulated over the common conductive lightning rod. The object of the insulated rod is to absorb and repel the electricity in stead of trying to conduct it to the ground as is the old plan. Mr. Moore stated that his lightning rod had been in use for five years, and in that time not one of the thousands of buildings upon which it is placed had been injur ed by lightning. Jackson & Mitchell, of this place, have secured the agency for this county. —A telegram lately received at Mil lerstown from Socorro, New Mexico, conveyed the information that Lee Va nepps, a former resident of that place, had, with five others, been killed by Indiaus five miles out of Socorro. It is supposed the party were on their way to Grafton, a miner's camp in the Rlack Rrange, where Vanepps was en gaged in the miners' supply business. Two weeks ago the Indians bad cap tured a wagon train on its way to the Black Range, and captured boots and shoes to the amount of SSOO belonging to Vanepps. Deceased was aged twen ty-seven, unmarried, and last spring went to the mines. He was a member of Millerstown lodge of K. of H., and his aged mother will receive therefrom $2,000. Mntbtv Citxzjen : is*c£Lee, P«.t 3t«oust tSBI. —The International Exhibition of Electricity at Paris was officially open ed August 10. Much work remained to be done to put all the exhibits in proper position. The delinquents were mainly in the British and American sections. The French, German and Belgian sections were more forward. The electric railway was not complet ed. The Tissandier balloon was ready and attracted much attention. Presi dent Grew, the ministers, and a few other privileged persons were treated to a telephonic musical entertainment. Four .vires had been placed in commu nication with the opera, and the voices of the opera chorus were heard with perfect distinctness. -Geysers, cataracts, soft soap springs and other natural wonders our country has in abundance; but hitherto she has been forced to admit her inferiority to other lands in number and vigor of vol canoes. This year of prodigies, 1881, is now supplying our lack. A few days since, a column of fire and smoke shot into the air from an Idaho moun tain, and now a steady column of smoke is said to be issuing from the spot. There is, of course, a possibility that this strange occurrence may be the act of some intoxicated miner, who blew himself and his camp up with gunpowder; but the people of the neighborhood have strong hopes that it is a real volcano. —The latest wrinkle in this State Is "birth insurance," intended to assist impecunious parents at a time of ex pense and anxiety. Policies from five hundred to three thousand dollars in amount are issued, the former costing four and one-half, the latter twenty four dollars. Assessments varying from one dollar twenty-five to three dollars and forty cents are to be made upou each member on the occurrence of a loss, and any member blessed with family additions, irrespective of sex, provided more than one year shall have expired since the issuance of the certi ficate, snail lie entitled to tie reward, indemnity, damages, or whatever the sum secured by the policy should be called. It is contemplated to establish a branch of the company at St. Louis, under municipal patronage, to assist that city in its population contest with Chicago. —Farmers are frequently induced to sign promissory notes in payment of wire fences, lightning rods, patent rights, etc., on fraudulent representa tions, and there seems to be some dif ference of opinion among the judges in different States as to whether these notes can be collected The other day we recorded an adverse opinion of a Wisconsin court, and now we learn that on July 19 a decision contrary to this precedent was rendered by Judge Adams, of the Supreme Court of lowa, in the case of Scolield vs. Ford. The maker of the note admitted he had made it, but said it was procured from him by fraud. The Judge said the maker could not successfully defend the action on this account, as the plain tiff had purchased the note for value and in good faith before its maturity, relying on the promise therein set forth, as he had a right to do. —The family of Mr. Francis Beam ish, of President, Venango county, met with a terrible affliction last Saturday. Two of their children were playing in the yard when one of them innocently stuck its hand into the end of a hollow log and immediately drew it out screaming with pain. The older child, anxious to learn the trouble, thrust its hand into the same place but immedi ately drew it out with shrieks of pain. The log contained a rattlesnake that had done its deadly work on both chil dren. The mother in the house, hear ing the crios, ran to their rescue, and in her haste set down a pot filled with boiling water on the floor. While she was out in the yard her smallest child, one just able to creep, upset the pot of boiling water and was scalded 8u bad ly that it died that evening. Both the children that were bitten by the snake died in a short time and the grief of the heartbroken mother can be better imag ined than described. —Tbe campaign in Ohio and that in Virginia constitute at present nearly the sum total of political movement Mr. Bookwaltcr, the Democratic candi date for the Ohio Governorship, seems to be following the line of action devis ed by Mr. Tilden, and adopted, with poor success by Mr. English in Indiana. He is substituting personal agerats for the recognized political workers, and is depending more upon personal solicita tion than upon agitation and political demonstrations. This is in the main the English way of approaching con stituencies, and thus far it has not met with much success in America, when pursued as the only line of activity. Americans prefer the public appeal from their public men; and while the speeches of our campaigns are too of ten appeals to passions as ignoble as any that can be reached in the 'still hunts,' there is in them at least the de cency of pretending to offer public rea sons and impersonal motives for the voter's support. —Soberer counsels have prevailed in the English House of Lords in regard to the Land Bill. Of the considerable series of amendm<ints by which the Peers had disfigured the bill. Mr. Glad stone agreed to but two of importance, and with this Lord Salisbury has been forced to content himself. Mr. Glad stone has redeemed his pledge to stand or fall by this bill. At the close of week before last it seemed as though nothing but a dissolution of this Par liament and an appeal to the constitu encies would suffice to secure its pas sage. The Premier did not shrink from even this alternative. He swept from the measure one after another of the disfiguring amendments, as calmly as though he were the admitted dictator of the situation. To one of his conces sions Mr. I'arnell offered decided oppo sition, on the ground that it will tend to make nearly every case a case for litigation, and in that litigation "tho office" is to have the best of it. —A SUPERB ESTABLISHMENT.—We direct attention to the advertisement in another place, of Mr. Adam Trout man. He now has in stock the largest and best stock of silks, satins, carfh iueres and other fine dress goods to be found in Butler, and taking into con sideration tie superiority of the quality of his goods, compared to those of an other firm in Butler which extensively advertises its prices, his are the cheap est. "The best is always the cheap est," and Troutman's are the best. Mr. Troutman has been doing business at his present stand for some fifteen years and during that time has built up a large trade. A year or fco ago he en- lagfcd his store building, and it is now j one of the largest and handsomest store buildings in the town. Besides Dry Goods he keeps in stock an assortment of Queensware, Glassware and choice Groceries. You can get almost any thing you need at Troutman's, and any person who reads this, and who has never been in Troutman's store should not fail to visit it at the first opportu nity. Salt ! Sail!!

WILSON MILLER & BRO. —Go TO THE FAlß. —There are a few farmers in almost every communi ty who never attend their county or local fair, and of course take no interest in them. In pursuing this policy they are losers, though it would doubtless be difficult to make them think so. There is much for every intelligent farmer to learn at these fairs, and if he would keep abreast of the times it is his plain duty, rather highest privilege, to seize every opportunity which shall give him a more extended knowledge and a greater familiarity with every thing that pertains to agriculturel and horticulture. At such times he can 'compare notes' with his brother farmers and in rela ting his own experience with certain fruits, grain, etc., and in noting the experience of others with the same, he may impart, as well as gain, some useful hints which shall be of use in the future. There is no better place for such discussion and such 'experience meeting' than at the fair. It also gives him an opportunity to examine the latest improved machinery and to get, on the spot, the unprejudiced opinions of the farnfer friends, to guide him in purchasing for himself. There is ma chinery on exhibition every year, which some farmer would never see at all if they absented themselves from these ex hibitions. Not only should every one go to the fair but he should contribute, from his farm and garden products, in making the fair a success. Almost every one has something 'unusual,' some novelty which will add to the attractions, therefore we say to every farmer 'Go to the fair, and do all in your power to support and to elevate it" —ROBBERY OF ROESSING'S STOBE— When Mr. Benj> Jack, a clerk in Mrs. B. Roessing's store, near the depot in this place, entered the store last Satur day morning about 9 o'clock, he found that the store had been entered, the sale blown open, and that the iron box within the safe, which contained some sixty dollars in cash, some checks on 'the Butler Savings Bank, a check on the Braddock's Field Bank for $19.45, to Mrs. Roessing from W. A. McDevitt & Co., and an order on the Treasurer of this county for $3 had been taken, and also some twenty-five pounds of tobacco Nothing else about the store was disturbed. The burglars entered by the side door facing the alley, which they pried open with tools taken from Spingler's wagon maker shop. To open the safe they drilled a hole right into the lock, midway between the handle and the combination knob and inserted powder and fuse. They then drilled the heads off two or three of the rivets in the door. These rivet heads are thickly covered with paint and on most safes cannot be seen, and the fact that the burglars found them withouttrouble, or scratching the door, indicates that at least one of them was an expert at the business. Before fir ing the fuse they covered the sate with bags to deaden the sound of the explo sion. The explosion separated the door into two parts and completely shatter ed the lock, and the burglars had no more trouble. The noise was heard by the neighbors on both sides of the store building. Mrs. Ilazlett heard it and awakened her son-in-law, Dan. Malar key, but he supposing the noise was made by some rats in the kitchen, did not get up. Mrs. VVendel was awak ened by the explosion and going to the window saw three men coming out of the store by the side door, but her hus band was away and she was afraid to go outside the house to give an alarm. This was about three o'clock Sunday morning. The burglars fasteued the outside door carefully and were in no hur ry about leavingtown, havingbeen seen after daylight washing themselves at the creek. For some days previous to the robbery a party of tramps were noticed in town, and on Saturday one of them was in Roessing's store for quite a while, during which time he begged a piece of tobacco and also a dime to get a cup of coffee with. One or two of these men were seen in com pany with an umbrella mender, who was in town last week. Mr. Boyle, of the Boyle House at the depot, com plains that tramps are so numerous about the depot that it is unsafe to be out of doors after dark. in lirowrlef. 12 Wis Good Brown Sugar $1 00 11 ttis Best Brown Sugar 1 00 10 11>s White Cofi'ee Sugar 1 00 9 lbs Granulated Sugar 1 00 Loose Roasted Coffees, 121 15-17 and 18c per pound.

EDITORS CITIZEN :—During the past week the 2nd Brigade N. G. P. has been in camp near Saltsburg. The splendid location of the camp ; the fa vorable weather and the wise judgment of the commanding officer. Gen. Beaver, combined to make the encampment the most satisfactory held for a number of years. By the recent laws the Guard has been greatly reduced and each man receives pay for five days service. To make up for this advance of pay, the laws governing the men are much more severe than formerly, a fine of $25 be ing imposed for non-attendance at in spection, and the regulations in camp being much more strictly enforced. About 3,000 men were in camp, and though the supply of intoxicating liquor was greatly restricted, they still seemed to enjoy the affair very much. The proficiency of many of the compa nies in the "school of soldiers" was greatly marked. At a contest of picked squads from the different companies of the 15th Regiment, for the championship at tar get practice, on Saturday, Co. F. held the position gained the day before in the general contest, Co. D. came in sec ond and E. third. Out of 32 shots Co. F. put 31 through the target, scoring 82; Co. D. 27-77, and E. 27-73. Co. F. was represented by Messrs. Riddle, McCoy, Cooper, Yanhorn, Yosler, Scott, Dunwoody, and Co. E. by Jack son, Dickey, Ziegler, Ramsey, Shan non, McConnel and Thompson. These two companies being located at North Liberty and Butler have arranged for frequent meetings during the year for trial of skill. A certaiu member of Co. E. is known throughout the entire camp as "For God's sake," that phrase occurring in every other sentence the man utters. BETA. A Remarkable Dream. Dr. Von Meyerhoff, exhausted by profound study of the "Couquest of Mexico," with the assistance of "Seoa ne's" Spanish Pronouncing Dictionary in his hands, turned once more round upon his virtuous couch and yielded up his spirit to the tender embraces of "Morpheus." He dreamed that he ar rived at the gate of Heaven. Peter, who was workimr hard to turn the key in the rusted lock, accosted him with, "What are you doing here so soon ?" I)r.—"Well, well, now, do you not know that the time table changed ? P. —"Yes, the time table for going down —south, but not going north." Dr.— T conic here against my anticipations; if you cannot possibly make it conven ient to let me in I will " P.— "Pooh—pooh, nothing of the kind, if you can show that you died a natural death." Dr.—l suppose my physician would not mind coming up here to tes tify." P.—"Have you references ?" Dr.—"Apollo and Judge Browne." P.—"Have you a letter of recommend ation from the Germania Orchestra ?" Dr.—"l did not know I would get here so soon, I had not asked for recom mendation when I left Butler ; but I have no doubt it can be procured." P. "That will do." Here he opened the gate and the Doctor entered, and from the recesses of the heavenly quar ters sounded "Life of Life." The Phil harmonic, the Germania Orchestra, were all there singing and playing, sur rouuded by the angels. But the Doc tor was so overtaken with astonish ment by seeing "our model man" playiug on the big drum, that Seoane's Spanish Pronouncing Dictionary fell out of his hands to the ground, the noise of which awoke him out of his dream, and he fouud himself once more on this terrestrial globe—oh pshaw ! On MY. Dr. HaxtcrN Opinion. NEW YORC, August 17.—The Wash ington correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle met Chief Medical Purveyor Baxter, and inquired his opiuion re specting the President's condition. l)r. Baxter said so far as he was in formed the wound had been ably treat ed, that he feared a proper understand ing of the President's dyspeptic predis position had not been as carefully look ed into. He had attended President Garfield for the past 10 years, and knew, perhaps, more than any other physician respecting his constitution and its defects. President Garfield, although of a stalwart physique, suf fered from chronic dyspepsia and deli cate stomach, superinduced by seden tary habits and mental strain. In ad dition to this he had two forms of disposition : Eating too rapidly without proper mastication and sitting up to an unusually late hour at night over his books and in consideration of his pub lic business. His food did not assimi late and he has, therefore, for years been a victim to chronic dyspepsia. Of course, under these circumstances, snffering from the effects of a severe gunshot wound, the weakness of his constitution in this respect should have been a matter of the gravest consider ation. I)r. Baxter fears this has not been as thoroughly considered as the occasion demanded. Arthur and IIIH Friend*. "Vice President Arthur remained at his homo to-day and was visited by numerous political friends. He receiv ed official bulletins from the White House and some private dispatches, but none that summoned him to Wash ington. It was intimated by some of bis friends that even though the Presi dent should die there was not the same urgency for the Vice President to be at the Capitol, and assume the duties of his office that existed when the Presi dent was first shot. The public mind, it was said, had been prepared for a change and it could be made now without the fear and excitement which might have attended it six weeks ago. Private dispatches were received by the Vice President at a late hour to-night. He was prepared to go to Washington, he said, when ever summons reached him, although he had not given up hopes of the Pres ident's recovery. Among those who called upon the Vice President in the course of the day were General Grant, ex-Senator Conkling, who was accom panied by Senator Logan of Illinois, and many others. His house was al most full of visitors at one time. Last night there were present in the house with the Vice President until a late hour, Senator Jones, of Nevada, Police Commissioner French, George Bliss and some others. Mr. Conkling re mained at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. His private secrety carried some mes sages to and from the Vice President. The scene at Vice President Arthur's house to-night it described bv eve-wit nesses as something remakable. It was at one time fairly crowded with visitors.
