Two other cases taken up were
heard, hut QO decisions rendered in the
same as yet.
—Butler county may well be proud
of her military record during the late
Rebellion. Her citizens nobly respond
ed to the call of her country in the time
of htr distress, and her blood and treasr
ure were freely given to help maintain
this, the best government the sun eyer
shone on. We are pleased to learn
that the forthcoming Illustrated His*
tory of Butler county will properly
represent all who participated in the
great conflict, privates as well as offi
cers, as every one will have their record
inserted. This one feature alone is
enough to commend the work to our
citizens and ensure their hearty sup
port and co-operation.
—Dr. G M. Zimmerman, of this
place, met with a serious accident last
Monday morning. He iutended butch
ering his pig that day aqd went to the
pen to kill it, taking a loaded Fevolvcr
with him. He shot the pig and not
killing it instantly, placed the revolver
in his left pants pocket, and picking
up an axe struck at it, when the axe
handle came in contact with the ham
mer of the pistol and discharged anoth
er barrel, the bullet passing into bis
right leg and lodging in his knee, from
which it has not yet been removed.
The wound may prove to be a serious
one.
—Mr. Thomas I, Wilson, County
Commissioner elect, diecj a{, big resi
dence in Jackson township, last Sun
day. lie took to his bed on the day
after the election and from that time
till Sunday was sick of typhoid fever.
His death is generally regretted, as be
was well apoken of by all who knew
him, and by his death a vacancy is
made in the next board of County
Commissioners, which by Section 7,
of Article XIV, of the State Constitu
tion will have to "be filled by the Court
of Common Pleas of the county in
which such vacancy shall occur, bvthe
appointment of an elector of the proper
county who shall have voted for the
Commissioner or Auditor whose place
Is to be filled."
—At the conclusion of the business
in the State Supreme Court, sittiug in
Pittsburgh last Friday, Chief Justice
Sharswood read an order of the Court,
redisricting the State as far as the Su
preme Court is concerned, and placinir
Hutler county in the eastern or Phila
delphia djstrrct, wbepe all Cftses from
thiat county will hereafter be heard, on
the first Monday of the term, com
mencing on the third Monday of No
vember. This arrangement will great
ly increase the cost of appealing cases
from this county. It seems to have
b«:en made to suit the convenience of
Justices Sharswood, Greene and Pax
son, whose homes are in the eastern
of the §tate. .Justices (jordofj,
rrankey and Sterrett objected to the
change. Some time airo the Supreme
Court Judge? oouipltiined that their
living expenses were largely increased
by their being compelled to move from
one placM to another in the perform
ance of their duties, and our last Leg
islature increased their salaries SI,OOO
per annum to compensate thorn for this.
The change seems to meet w'tbgeuprql
disfavor In thin part of the State. If
the Supreme Court is to be located at
any one place, the State capital would
seem to us to be the proper point.

W hen our buyer reached New \ork ho did n<u intend to buy one dollar's worth of Clothing, but the manufactliters accosted htm and
offered mm such uhicli were ir resist able. They had t lie goods, tiiey wanted th* money. ;nd therefore named such low
prices an even to you will appear ridiculous. The result was that our buyer took the advantage of the flat market and secured Men's,
