Pretty durable stockings, but we should
think they would soon need washing.
Health journals say that stockings
should be changed at least once a year,
on sanitary grounds alone.
—Hundreds ofpeople passed through
the catafalque at Cleveland the day
after the funeral, and admired its mas
sive beauty. It is really wonderfull
that a structure of its size and adorn
ment could have been erected in so
short a time. But many willing hands
gave themselves to the task.
—lt is an interesting coincidence
that President Garfield's death occur
red on the anniversary of that battle of
Jhickamauga, fought eighteen years
before, which won him his brevet as
Major-Qeneral, and special mention for
the courage and coolness that shone so
conspicuous in bis last and trying
days.
—A number of persons in Ligonier

fruit, grain, vegetables, flowers, etc.,
under a penalty of not less than $5 or
more than SSO for each offence, impris
onment to be imposed at the rate of
one day for each dollar in case of de
fault of payment.
—Appeals for help still come in from
suffering Michigan. Cash, bedding,
provisions, and grass seeds are needed,
and great destitution through the com
ing winter can alone be avoided by
prompt and generous action on the
part of the people of these United States.
The great sorrow that has for some
days shut these helpless sufferers from
sight, should so have softened the Na
tion's heart and broadened its charity,
as to cause every hand to open in
ready giving.
Notice to Collectors of County
Taxes tor 1881.
In a former notice to collectors, we
requested payment of two-thirds of the
amount on the tax duplicates on a cer
tain date. A few complied, and to
those who have not paid the two-thirds
as requested, we give notice that the
full two-thirds must be paid on or be
fore Oct. 14, 1881. We are makiug
heavy payments and collectors must
respond, otherwise we will be compell
ed to enforce payment. By order of
the Commissioners.

According to a veracious western
journal a fountain has been discovered
in Arkansas that flows 40 gallons per
minute of excellent apple-jack brandy.
The tide of immigration will now take

—A championship match of some
interest is the one that will come off" at
Chicago at the close of November for
the butter, egg and cheese supremacy
of the United States. A number of
interesting contests in butter are an
nounced, one of them being styled a
"sweepstakes for best butter from cow's
milk or cream, made under any process,
time or place." These cheese and but
ter competitions may be fairly said to
illustrate the Scriptural races that are
not to the swift, and the battles that
are not to the strong.
—Garfield, the statesman, might
have died, and his intimates would
have mourned him, and passing trib
utes of regret would have been paid
him by those that recalled his worth.
Qarfield, the President, might have
died as others have died, and the peo
ple would have borne themselves with
a becoming sensibility of their loss.
But dying as he did, after revealing
the depths of his nature, he was more
I than statesman, more than President,
and the man, disassociated from his
honors and his office, is mourned as
the friend.
—President Arthur'a path is at best
a rough one. The people are ready to
smooth it for him ; but should he re
ject their aid, he will find it impossible
to extricate himself from the pitfalls
that will beset him. He has discharged
his first duty acceptably in calling the
Senate to choose bis successor. His
liext great duty is to turn bis back on
the Grant crowd and select his advisers
without their suggestion or direction.
The Republican party threw them
over at Chicago. The country ap
plauded their fall and will not tolerate
their restoration.
—A Philadelphia medical journal
commenting on the official report of the
autopsy held on President Garfield's
remain's, declares that no human skill
could have saved the patient, and
that Dr. Agnew, who might be sup
posed to echo the sentiment of the
other attending surgeons, stated weeks
ago that the position of the bullet was
unknown. The report sets at rest a
disputed point concerning the fatal
hemorrhage, showing that it came from
a rent in the splenic artery.
—On Tuesday evening Prof. Louis
Yon Meyerboff, of Butler, gave an im
promptu musical entertainment at the
Hotel Brunswick, where an apprecia
tive audience had gathered and were
made the recipients of a rare treat. The
Professor demonstrated his mastery of
the piano. Several declared that they
had never heard any playing before.

—Our readers will find the general
election proclamation for the coming
State and county election in another
place. It should be read by all elec
tors not acquainted with the provis
ions of the State and national constitu
tions regarding tbe qualifications of
electors, and provisions of the State
constitution and State laws regarding
the general election. The County
Commissioners will send out tbe elec
tion papers to tbe different election
boards in a few days. The only change
made in the places of holding elections,
since the last general election, was that
made last January for Franklin town
ship, whose electors will hereafter vote
at Grange Hall in the borough of
Prospect.
—The Massachusetts Republican
Convention was held when the nation
was under the shadow of death. The
character of the proceedings was befit
ting tbe peculiar time. The present
State officers were renominated with
out opposition. The platform demands
thorough measures to protect the bal
lot-box ; tbe establishment of the gold
standard ; a conservative tariff revision;
reform in the method of appointments ;
legislation governing Presidential
counts; national aid to education in
illiterate regions; a stable Indian
policy; and the suppression of polyga
my. Among the resolutions were
touching allusions to the lamented
Chief-Magistrate, and pledges of sup
port to his successor in all right mea
sures.
—Tbe report forwarded by our Co
Commissioners to the Secretary of In
ternal Affairs at Harrisburg, gives the
number of taxables in this county at
13,297 ; the value of tbe real estate in
the county assessed at $9,557,615 ; the
amount of money at interest, $189,066;
the number of horses in the county at

of cows at 10,463, valued at $145,370 ;
buggies valued at $36,968; occupations
valued at $272,575. The aggregate
value of all property as assessed is $lO,-
331,408; the State tax is $1,317.20;
county tax $46,461.10. Buggies and
watches over a certain value are taxa

formed there are whole townships in
the county from which none are re

—Among the death notices this week
will be found that of Michael McGin
ley, of Oakland township, who died
last Tuesday at the age of 82 years.
His brother John McGinlev, who now
owns and lives in the Campbell Pur
viance house on Pearl street, this town,
is aged 84 years, and is still quite act
ive. Their parents came to this coun
try from Donegal county, Ireland,
eighty-two years ago. John was two
years old at the time and Michael was
born on the ship, during the voyage.
When born he was so delicate that they
thought him dead and a bag was made,
in which to throw him into the sea,
but as "he was a boy" they thought
they would postpone that performance
' for one hour, during which time he
1 showed some signs of life.

—Moscow retains the reputation for
great fires which it bad acquired before
even the burning of the Kremlin led to
the downfall of Napoleon. The fire of
last week, which destroyed property to
the value of $2,000,000, may be at
tributed to the Nihilists, the torch be
ing a common weapon of Russian re
venge. As the fire began in the Mer
chants' Bazaar, it was more probably
accidental. The activity of the Nihi
lists and their Socialist allies, is, how
ever, very great They have compell
ed the Czar to keep secret the place
where he is to meet the Austrian Em
peror, and they have caused the three
Eastern Powers to call on Switzerland
to prohibit the proposed Socialist Con
gress at Berne. Combined with the
failure of the Russian Anti-Nihilist
League, these facts show that the rev
olutionary party is still formidable.
FALL OF AN ANCIENT CHIMNEY.—
On yesterday about noon, there was
heard a noise in this place, that indi
cated "something had fallen." It did
not resemble "the noise of many wat
ers," but was more like unto "the wreck
of matter and the crash of worlds."
When the neighbors ran to the spot it
proved to be the fall <Jf a very large
asd very old chimney in one of Mr.
Dougal's "rows" of houses on Main
street, being the one on the east side,
about opposite Jimmy Shanor's shop.
This chimney was one that was "fear
fully and wonderfully made," being
like man himself, in that respect. In
its fall it carried down with it part of
the building in which it was. Thus
does time bring down all things. But
Mr. Dougal yet lives and seems to be
surviving some of the structures be
erected and known as "Dougal'sßows."
No persons were living in this one, at
the time of its fall. Its departure,
after an existence, it is thought of
more than eighty years, was peaceful
and is not regretted.

—Tn the terrible suffering of the vic
tims of the Michigan fires another great
occasion has arisen for the prompt and
abundant outpouring of relief. There
has been no such need for general and
generous giving since the prevalence
of yellow fever in the South three
years ago. The calamity which has
befallen the burned-out people of the
west calls as loudly as that did, for
widespread, systematic and effective
action to save the imperilled lives of a
large community. Not only are the
thousands of men, women and children
who were driven from their homes by
the devouring flames shelterless and
destitute of food and clothing, but their
affliction is aggravated by the ravages
of disease. Typho-malarial fever, bil
ious colic and pneumonia are playing
sad bavoc among them. Many have
died, and many others are upon the
verge of death. Among these unfor
tunates are half-starved and scantily
clad mothers, and little babes who have
no language but a cry. Their pitiable
case appeals eloquently for immediate
and substantial help. The national
heart is just now in a kindly mood.
The better feelings of our nature have
been stirred as they never were before
by the melancholy tragedy which has
just culminated in the death and burial,
after long weeks of weariness and pain,
borne with heroic fortitude and hum
ble resignation, of a President of the
United States and a beloved leader of
| the people.
—lf the lessons of Mr. Garfield's
pure and brave life are to have due
weight with us, there will be an abate
ment of our partisan bitterness and a
deeper sense of our common interests
as American citizens. And there will
be less and less of the unhappy antag
onisms which have divided the sections
of our country on political lines. An
other principal with which Mr. Gar
field's name is identified, is that of the
reform of our political methods. He
was not a reformer by profession. He
found himself thrown into the work
ings of a system which was regarded
by his associates as the only system
possible for our country. It was very
slowly that he learned to regard it very
differently. He was not in a position
to discover very quickly the mischiefs
it was doing to the country. He rep
resented a constituency exceptional in
its intellectual and moral character.
The Western Reserve people expected
in him an independence and a breadth
of view which other constituencies for
bid to their representatives. Thev
never degraded him to the level of an
agent for office-seekers. He was under
no necessity to manipulate conventions
and conciliate "workers" in order to se
cure a re-nomination. He was, there
fore, not among the first who saw the
need of a change, nor was be ever
among those who expressed very em
phatic and definite convictions as to the
shape the change must take. Yet he
has put himself upon tha record as hav
ing reached the belief that we cannot
go on as we have been going.

Correspondence.
NEW ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, }
September 23, 1881. )
EDITORS CITIZEN:—I remember
when I was last in Butler, that I
promised to write to you, and send
you a few notes about Albuquerque
and New Mexico. We have been
living here now about a month, and
are beginning to like it very well. We
are getting a very comfortable home
built, into which we expect to move in
about two months Our house is 41
oy 36 feet, and is being built of ter
ronils, sod cut on the banks of the Rio
Grande and when dry becomes as hard
as brick. The mortar is made from
the sand, both for building and plaster
ing; the sand is full of alkalins and all
that it needs is to wet it and work it
like lime mortar.
New Mexico is indeed a strange
looking country, and any one from the
States could scarcely imagine that he
is still in North America.
Our trip here was one of considera
ble danger as it was in the midst of the
rainy season. While crossing Kansas
we had a collision, I was asleep in an
upper birth in the sleeping car and
narrowly escaped being pitched out on
my head.
When we got as far as New Mexico
we were delayed, sometimes a day or
a night at one time; those delays were ,
caused by the great rains.
In the month of August heavy rain
storms came, and sometimes a train
can pass over the road in safety, but
as you look you may see part of the
track carried away with the flood. The
mountains are looking green at present,
there having been so much rain this
summer.
We are living in New Albuquerque,
and in one of the prettiest places in tbe
city. The new town is connected with
the old by street cars which leave the
piazza every fifteen minutes. The
whole length of the street car track is
three miles. The population of old
and new towns is about 7,000 inhabi
tants. The old town is very strange
and amusing to visit, they have some
very nice gardens and choice fruits,
some very large vineyards and peach
orchards around tbe town. What is
so strange about the old town is its
appearance, you will see a sign hang
ing over a door, and from the streets
you might tdke the bouse for a large
cow stable daubed with mud (for mud
mends every house and raw hide every
wagon and fence both among the In
dians and Mexicans) but enter and you
will find as much goods for sale, and
of as good a quality as you will find in
any .store in Butler or Pittsburgh. The
new town has some very handsome
stores both inside and outside. These
new stores are built two stories high,
tbe walls of the fronts, some of
them, iron and tin roofing. The Mex
icans are a very slow people, they do
everything as it was done a thousand
years ago, they tread out the grain
with horses, oxen, donkeys and some
times sheep ; then they toss it up with
forks in the wind, and so separate the
chaff from the grain The women
grind the com in little mills, but of
late a number of grist mills have been
erected around Albuquerque and now
the men complain, saying that their
women are very lazy, and make them
go to the mill with the grain. Both
the old and new towns are on the east
bank of the Rio Grande, the western
banks seems to be nothing but sand
rocks. The valley on the east side is
about twenty miles in width and I
have no idea how long. It seems to
be nothing but sand, yet they raise as
fine fields of corn as I have ever seen;
this is done by irrigation. Sakies, as
the Mexicans call them, run from the
river, giving abundance of water to the
fields. Cabbages grow three or four
times as large as in tbe east, onions
weighing six or seven pounds each.
What I have seen of New Mexico,
the greater part of it is either sand,
vallies or mountains of lava rocks. I
have often been at a loss to know
what led Baron Alexander Von Hum
boldt to say. "The wealth of the
world will be found in New Mexico and
Arizona, but I suppose the Professor
of Geology would understand it better
than I can. There is no doubt howev
er, but that this country is rich in its
mineral resources. It gives me great
amusement to watch the strange mix
ture of men and animals passing
through the streets ot Albuquerque,
you can see a number of little donkeys
with two or three bags of grain on their
backs or a load of wood, aud behind all
a big Mexican sitting. Then you will
see six or eight ox teams, four or six
oxen to every wagon hauling adobies
or terronies, wood or timber, then you
will see a span of fine horses, silver
mounted harness, and as fine a car
riage as you would see in New York
Park. Here is a fine hotel three
stories high, tbe American flag flying
in the breeze ; inside you will meet as
fine gentlemen and ladies as you can
find in any hotel in the east. Close
bv are the little adobe gambling saloons
where scores of men sj>end their nights
and money playing cards, dancing and
drinking whiskey, aud where they
think little of shooting at each other,
yet tbev tell me that Albuquerque is
improving fast in its moral tone.
I spent last week at Las Vejras, one
hundred and thirty miles east of this
place. The Presbytery of Santa Fe
met there. It took us three days to
get through with our work. The
brethren made me moderator, and
while I objected to such honors being
conferred on a tenderfoot, a name giv
en to all who come to the territorv by
rail, the old American having come bv
trail, yet I found that they did the
best thing, as the business was all done
both in English and Spanish. This
was necessary as one half of the mem
bers were Mexicans and could not un
derstand English. I could neither un
derstand Spanish nor speak it, still I
could put the motions, and listen to
the debates, many of which were fully
discussed before the motion would be
seconded, a thing I would not have al
lowed for a moment had I known
what they were saying. I preached
twice during my stay at Las Vegas to
good congregations, and on Monday I
visited the famous Hot Springs of Las
Yegas. They are at an altitude of
6,400 feet. They number twenty-two,
and vary in temperature 110° to 140°
F. Prominent gentlemen in Boston
have purchased the Hot Springs of
Las Vegas and have built a bath house,
200x42 feet, two stories in height; it
is most complete of any thing of the
kind in America ; it has shampooning
rooms, electro and vapor rooms, spray
and tub baths, coolina: and drying
rooms, together with a fine hotel which
make the Hot Springs of Las Vegas a
lovely resort in summer and delightful
in winter. But I find that lam writ
ing more than you may want to pub
lish in your paper, so for the present I
will say no more. Yours truly,
JAS. A. MENAUL.

IN THE ENTIRE bTATE !
PEERLESS, UNAPPROACHABLE AND ALONE
After the two months of steady preparation, during which time we have made extensive im
provement, we formally announce our OPENING FOR THE FALL AND WINTER OF 1881-
82. For variety of textures, for immensity of stock, for novelty in styles, for thoroughness of
manufacture and exquisiteness of finish, we challenge the entire trade to produce the equal. Nev
er before has our stock been so grand, so complete, so incomparable as now, for we were determined
nothing should be left undone to utterly surpass anything before attempted. For the benefit of
after dark purchasers we have placed nine electric burners (equal to 18,000 candle lights) making
the interior of our stores light as day. -
