—Quite a stir was created in legal
circles last Saturday, by the counsel
for the defendant, in the case of the
commonwealth versus Mary E. Smith,
presenting a paper to court challenging
the array of graiid jurors by whom the
bill of indictment iu the case was
found and moving the court to quash
said bill of indictment, for the follow
ing reasons. Ist The said grand jury
was not legally drawn and empanneled.

—The man McConkey, now in the

of death for the murder of Geo. A. Mc-

ed to have confessed to a man named
Coulson, now awaiting trial for mur
der, that McClure had been shot by
either himself or 'Reddy' Baskins,

days after the murder, however, while
they were stealing a ride on a freight
train, a wreck occurred in which
'Shorty' Collins was killed and either
Baskins or Lightner had his foot badly
injured Collins' remains were carried
to a secluded spot and buried before
his death was known to any person
save his companions. Coulson did not
tell how this was accomplished or by
what means the injured foot was dress

traveled in company. He stated,
however, that McConkey had told him
that if he (McConkey) was convicted
he believed he would make a clean
breast of the whole affair, and tell
where he had last seen the three living
accomplices, and where they might be
looked for at this time. But in any
event, he had decided to tell where
Collins was buried.

—The Parker Phoenix gives the
following account of the narrow escape
of a little child that was struck by a
narrow gauge locomotive a few days
ago : "On Monday -afternoon last as
the express train on the P. & W. Rail
road was coming from Butler, Mr. Con
nor, perceived, when about four miles
out, something on the track ;he at
once tooted the alarm, but nary amove
from the object. As the engine drew
nearer, he observed it was a child of
about three years of age. The engine
was reversed, brakes set, but too late :
the cow-catcher struck the little inno
cent and tossed it off the track. As
soon as the train stopped engineer, fire
man and passengers jumped off to see
what was-done. Express agent Stone
raised the little infant and presented it
to its mother, who was in search of the
little wanderer. The child was not se
riously- hurt, and not half as scared as
the engineer and the parent. Mr. Con
nor informs us that never during
his railroad career did he suffer as much
mentally as ha did the few moments
his engine was nearing the "blessed
babe," as he calls it. He was so over
powered that he could not stand up,
and not until he was informed that the
child was only slightly iujured. Mr.
Connor is the happy father of several
children and that accounts, in a great
measure no doubt, for his feeling. On
the arrival of the train in Parker, the
railroad physician was notified and
conveyed to the home of the wounded
child, when it was found that medical
assistance had been received from
Butler and that the child was doing
well ; one of its limbs was broken, but
no other injury was received.

We made a note of the case referred to
for last week's paper, but it was ac
cidently omitted. The circumstances
were about as follows: Some time
ago suit was brought by John Briscoe
before a Justice of the Peace on a
judgment note given him by Willis
Collins and wife, and judgment ob
tained for debt, interest and costs. On
this judgment on execution was placed
in Constable Patton's hands, who pro
ceeded to levy upon and sell the prop
erty. At the sale Mrs. Collins claim
ed that the property belonged to her,
but Patton proceeded with the sale, har
iog been given an indemnifying bond
by Briscoe. Mrs. Collins, then had a
capius issued from Court against Pat
ton for trespass. He was arrested and
gave bail, and paying no further at
tention to the matter judgment was
obtained on the capius against him for
costs and damages, to be determined
according to la v. A writ of inquiry
was then issued to the Sheriff to ascer
tain by a jury what tlie costs and
damages amounted to, and a jury was
empaneled by the Sheriff, who, after
hearing the case, decided that the
plaintiff had no cause for action be
cause she had not been declared a
femme sole trader. It will be notic
ed that the judgment note in this case
was taken to a Justice of the Peace,
instead of being entered at the I'ro
thonotary's office. This made the
judgment a simple one, and nullified the
waiver of the exemption laws, stay of
execution, etc., clauses that such notes
generally contain.
Witliergpoon Institute.
The Literary and Musical Enter
tainment of the Witherspoon Institute,
at Odd Fellows' Hall on Thursday
evening last, was generally conceded
to have been the best yet given, and
indicated a marked progress among
the students of that institution.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. Waters. The readings,
essays and recitations by the youmr
ladies, Kittie McCandless, Mary Wick,
Ida B. May, Abbic Dick, Mary Mc-
Nair, Mazie McLuro, Lyda Neymau,
Clara McJunkin and Isa Andrews,
were all creditable performances. The
declamations of the young men, A. F.
Enirick, 11. W. Dumbach, T. 11. Greer,
J. S. McCreary, G. M. Sutton ; the
essay of A. E. Vogeley, and the origi
nal orations of M. L. Negley and G. E.
lfft, were all well delivered and well
received by the large audience. The
music and singing of Miss Alice Wick,
Mrs. W. Harvey, Miss Bella Lowry,
E. S. and Tillic Riddle, were all well
executed and highly entertaining. Mr.
W. Harvey aud Dr. L. Von Meyer
hoff had charge of an excellent piano
and throughout the exercises rendered
the finest music. For skill and pro
ficiency on the piano it is generally
conceded that Dr. Yon Meyerhoff can
have but few equals. Mr. Harveyalso
done some very good singing.
We will not attempt any further
criticism of the performances or further
commendation of the performers, our
object merely being to make an honor
able and brief mention of all who took
part, and to say a word of encourage
ment to the students and to the teach
ers, Profs. Bancroft and Tinstman, of
the Witherspoon. The Instituto is
meeting with success under the care of
Profs. Bancroft and Tintsman, and is
now a well established institution of
learning in this place, deserving of the
patronage it is receiving. In it any
young man of industry can not only
lay the foundation but receive a good
education in all the higher branches of
learning taught in the schools of the
present day.

GRAND J CRY PRESENTMENTS.
The Grand Jury of last week made two pre
sentments. In the first they present that seven
of the liquor dealers in Butler have within the
year last past, in said county, sold intoxicating
liquors to residents of Butler who are not stran
gers and travellers, also that two of the hotel
keepers of Millerstown did the same and also
sold to men of intemperate habits ; also that
two of the hotel keepers of Zelienople sold to
persons other than strangers and travellers;
also two hotel keepers in Evansburg did the
same; also that three of the hotel keepers
and one wholesale liquor firm in Butler sold to
a man of known intemperate habits. In their
second presentment they recommend that the
county rebuild what is known as the Freeport
bridge over the Connoquenessing in Butler
borough, build a double track bridge with foot
walks and good approaches; they also present
that the road from Millerstown to Butler from
James Norris" on the Lick hill to Karns'
bridge, is too narrow, and therefore unsafe, also
that a hotel keeper and wholesale liquor dealer
in Zelienople have within|the last year sold in»
toxicating liquors to residents of Zelienople,
other than strangers and travelers. This with
some recommendations regarding the Court
House business complete the presentments.
The presentments regarding selling liquor to
other than strangers and travelers were made
under instructions of the Court regarding tip
pling houses.

A Bnller County Yoiitb.
John Ilamsey is the name of a young
man who resides in the classic precincts
of Butler county. John has been un
fortunate. He came to this city some
months ago, and has been working in
one of the rolling mills. He has been
boarding at the residence of Mrs. Gas
ton on Pittsburg street. He made
good wages, but alas! his earnings
were all spent upon "the dear one of
his heart," and he himself asserted
that "it would take sf>o to cover what
that girl had cost him." Now, taking
these facts into consideration it is no
wonder that he was indebted to his
boarding mistress, and on last Monday
morning she asked him to settle the
balance that was due her—s7.so. He
replied that he would as soon as he
could, and he left the bouse. On
Wednesday he made up his mind to
depart, and betook himself to the E. <fc
P. depot and was about to depart for
Sharon when Officer Gaston arrested

I was cured and to-day enjoy sound

Chaplain MeCabe.
We are glad that Chaplain McCal>e,
of Chicago is to * petal Tuesday even
ing, March "21st, in Butler. He was
i conlined for a long time in Libby
prison during the war. When the
| colored paper seller one morning an
j nounced : "Yicksburg has surrender
; ed," the Chaplain and his half-clad and
half-starved comrades rose and sang:
I "Ulory Hallelujah! Our God is
i Marching on." In referring to this
| the Chaplain has said that he never
heard such music before nor since. He
has been prevailed upon to give his
lecture in Butler on " I'be Bright Side
of Life in Libby Prison," and in addi
' tion to sing several songs. The Chap
; lain, as is well-known, is one of the
finest singers in the country. He will
lecture iQ the M. E. Church and the
admission will be free. During bis
stay in Butler the Chaplain will be the
guest ot R. I'. Scott, Esq.

—ln the case of the sugar impor
ters against ex-Collector Merritt, in
which a decision was reached in the
United States Supreme Court last
week, it is held that the Government
officers cannot apply any other than
the Dutch, or color standard test to
imported sugars. This is a victory
for the importer and will likely affect
the price of sugar.
Man'* Ingratitude.
This is an ungrateful world to say
the least. A man will act like a luna
tic when he has the Itching Piles, and
declare that he knows he can't live an
other day, yet be applies Swayne's
Ointment, the iutense itching is allayed
at once, he gets cured, and goes down
to the lodge with-out one whit of grat
itude. When asked why be looks so
cheerful, he dodges the question by an
indifferent answer. Its just like a
man though, is'nt it ?

The first impression Sara Bernhardt
received of the American ladies mani
fested itself thusly :—"Oh! ze ladies,
za are so beautiful, such clear complex
ion I nevare see before,"all of which
is due to the universal use of Swayne's
Ointment for skin diseases, which in
sures a clear and clean complexion,
and a healthy color. This recalls to
mind the divine precept "cleanliness is
next to Godliness."
—A Troy, N. Y., family claim to
