It does not put any confidence in tbis story, however, since experience has shown that cotton may be made, nnder such circumstances; but it can not lie relied on as a crop, because, as a general rule, tbe Southern staple cannot be successfully cultivated on lands which have been overflowed dur ing February, March and April, and present indications are that tbis year the waters will not recede before April or May. —When you want anything 1 in the line of Watches Clocks, Jewelry, Sil verware, Spectacles, &c., do not fail to call in at K.

Neither of the banks in Butler lost anything by the failure, al though had it come a week sooner the Savings Bank would have been caught to the amount of $1,600. The cause of the failure is unknown, although it is supposed that the deposits, which, it is estimated, amount to $300,000, were absorbed by speculations in oil. The firm has made an assignment to It. W. McKee, late cashier of the bank, who, it is staled, feels confident of paying dollar for dollar. We hope this may prove to be the case.

' This is a remarkable increase over the I amount reported in 1870, when 87,000 ' hogsheads of sugar and 0,000,000 gal- 1 lons of molasses were produced.

The bulk both of ' suirar and molasses is the production I of Louisiana. This is a very small ' proportion, however, of the sugar used 1 by this nation. We import annually 1 nearly two billion pounds of brown 1 sugar, over half of which comes from Cuba, and also about thirty million : gallons of molasses, and the same 1 amount of melada and syrup of sugar cane.

Smith, indicted for concealing the death of a male bastard child, March 18, 1882. Jury returned a verdict of not guilty in manner and form as defeudant stands indicted and the county to pay the costs. BRIEF REPORT OF THE CASE. This was in many respects one of the most remarkable cases ever tried in tbe Courts of Butler county. Tbe de fondant is a daughter of' Squire John Smith, of Cherry twp She is a young lady of tbe age of 21 years, of very slender form and delicate constitution. Her personal appearance ud demeanor all through the trial were such as to dispel the idea of guilt. It seems that her father had considerable litigation with his ueighbors and relatives and had incurred the displeasure of some of them. The crime was alleged to have been committed on the 14th of April, 1880. Shortly after that time a number of suits were brought against persons living in Cherry twp., on ac count of the neighborhood talk These cases were finally settled on payment of costs and a small sum of money. The matter then rested until Decem ber 1881 when it was brought to the attention of the Grand Jury and a pre sentment made to Court charging the offense. Upon this presentment the Court directed the County Detective to make an information The defend ant was arrested about the latter part of December, 1881 and gave bail for a hearing before 'Squire Walker of But ler on the 27th of January, 1882. In the meantime, aud after the arrest, she was married to Mr. O. S. Bolinger, to whom she had been engaged for some time prior to the happening of the cir cumstances upon which the charge was based. The hearing took place before 'Squire Walker aud the defendant was held in S3OO bail for her appearance at Court. The Grand Jury at the March term found a true bill agaiust the de fendant. On Saturday March 11, 1882 in the absence of the defendant and her father, her counsel made a motion to quash the array of Grand Jurors, for reason that the Sheriff and Jury Com missioners had not been sworn before drawing the Jury. While this was tak ing in Butler the defendant, her hus band and father were in New Castle consulting Dr. John W. Wallace. The Court was about to hold that the ob jections to the Grand Jury were well taken, but held the matter under advise ment until Monday. The defendant and her father came into Court on Monday morning and earnestly pro tested against their counsel taking ad vantage of a legal technicality. The defendant signed a paper waiving all informalities and demanded a speedy trial, saying, Bbc did not want to live any longer if she could not be vindica ted. The Court permitted all objec tions to be withdrawn and on Wednes day the 15th, she was arraigned, plead not guilty, and a Jury selected. The Commonwealth proved by I)r x Patterson, of Centreville, and Or. Hockenberry, of Sunbury, that Miss Smith had applied to them for relief for suppression of the menses. They both testified that from i>ersonal ap pearance and other signs they suspect ed pregnancy. The Commonwealth also proved by some ten other witneses, and among them three aunts and her grandmother, who were frequently at the house of 'Squire Smith in March and April, that from her peculiar shape, enlargement of the abdomen and blotches on her face, they suspected pregnancy. Mrs.. Jennie Maxwell, nee Jennie Young, daughter of It. 11. Young, ex- County Superintendent, testified that Hhe went to the house of 'Squire Smith to do house-work on the sth of April, IBHQ. she v/ai there on the 14 of April; she had finished work at night and went in seareh of Miss Smith to go to bed, she found her in the par lor humming a tune; she did not say anything to her hut went to bod and the next morning Miss Smith was in bed with her, and told her that Dr. Hockenberry's medicine had began to take effect, and she was not cble to get up; that she got up and came down stairs and was horrified to find blood in the hall loading from the par lor door out to tin; porch and in the di rection of the coal house, and down into the cellar where a large quantity of bloody clothing was found. The witness testified to finding niore bloody clothing In a box in the room and something else of a suspicious charac ter. Miss Laura Shull, testified, she went to live at 'Squire Smith's on the 2tHh of April, IKSO, when Miss Young left; that on the first day of May the chil dren told her there was something un der the coal house that had toes. She went out there and found a little baby; she saw it afterward down in the yard very much mangled and torn. This is a brief outline of the evi dence on part of the Commonwealth. The defendant was the first wit ness in her own behalf. She is the oldest daughter of 'Squire Smith. Have been in delicate health; my trouble began about the time I was 15 years old. In 1878 my mother died suddenly here in Butler leaving a fam ily of small children, and the cares of the yo M 3ehoU devolved on me. My mother gave me medicine for my trouble. In IS7S my trouble got worse ; I took medicine from my grandma llindman in June and -Inly, 1x70; I took medicine from Dr. Cow den, and in April, ISBO 1 took medi cine from Dr. Ilockeiiberry. On the 15 of March, ISKO I went to a serenade with several other young folks and we ran across the fields about a quarter of a mile to the place. On the night of the I 1 of April ' went to bed Jiout 8 i o'clock not feeling well, along towards morning 1 got relief from my trouble | fnd was in bed four days. On last : Miturday I went to New Castle with my husbaud and father and submitted to" a personal examination by I>r. Wal lace. Dr. Wallace testified that he has been in general practice for 26 years ; that by examination a practicarsurgeon can demonstrate to an absolute cer tanity whether a woman has ever giv en birth to a child : that he examined Miss Smith and was satisfied beyond a doubt that she had never given birth to a child. Drs. Cowden of Sunbury and Bre din of Butler corroborated Dr. Wallace as to its being possible to determine by examination to a certainty as to whether a child had been born or not. The case was submitted to the jury on Saturday morning and after an hours absence thev returned a verdict of not guilty, and the county to pay the costs. An account of what followed will be fouud in another place. Com. vs. A. C. Weller, forgery, March 13, 1882. Motion to quash made and C. V.

A smoke-house should be well ven tiluted, and the hjtms hung at least eight or ten feet above the fire, and the smoke given out in moderate quan tities, and come from corn-cobs Of hickory wood. Jt iu important that ham:; kept cool unci dry through the whole operation. Proper ventila tion of the smoke-house secures this. If they liecome moist by improper ventilation, or are placed so near tl e fire as to be heated, their flavor is greatly injured.— Ploughman. American Ladlm. The first impression Sara Bernhardt received of the American ladh'u man!, fested itself thualy i—"Oh! ze ladies, .a are so beautiful, such clear complex ion 1 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."
