In spite of predictions of crop disaster, caused by floods, frosts, and a very backward spring, there comes the assurance of an abundant harvest of all kinds, except perhaps hay and fruit. Winter wheat promises to give an increased yield in nearly every State except New York, Indiana atid Ohio. Spring wheat is much more promising, with the prospect of a marked increase in the great grain growing States of the West and North-west, the estimates in some cases going as high as fifty per cent, over laet year's yield. Insects and rust are reported in some places, but no alarm is felt outside of Tennessee. Corn shows a large increase in all the States where it is grown. In the South the fact is mentioned that corn is re placing cotton to some extent. This indicates the new idea of agricultural possibilities that is spreading among a class of farmers who have clung con servatively to the one crop of cotton. —A Grand Musical Feast Thurs day May 11th, at Bp. m.

Kyle, Niblock and Breuin, will find it to their interest to confer with J. C. Yanderlin, attorney at But ler, in regard to their leases. There is a covenant in these leases to pay yearly rentals, so many years after a railroad was built on or near the lands leased, one year after a demand. Fail ing to make these payments as stipu. l&ted for within the year was to be considered an. abandonment of the lease. There are now several year's rental due on these leases and farmers wishing to get rid of the lease must make a demand on the company, Mer cer mining and manufacturing, now owning the leases, by himself or his attorney. The party of the 2nd part in the lease failing to pay within the year, is a breach of covenant, which taken advantage of, the Court on pro per application will strike off the lease. Mr. Yanderlin has been employed bv quite a number of the farmers to ex amine their leases,make this demand— and if possible have them stricken from the record, and if there are others who have not yet taken action in the matter either to secure the payment of the money due or to have their leases given forfeited, they should apply to Mr. Yanderlin at once. ap26-tf Deling aud Parly Found Dead WASHINGTON, May 5.

Forquer, District Attorney vs. the County, for costs, which accrued in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Daniel Evans and Mary Jane Kennedy, oo a charge of assigning property to defraud creditors, a stated case was made for the judg ment of the Court. The following is Judge McJunkin's opinion in the mat ter : The defendants were discharged on habeas corpus in pursuance of the provisions of the 54 Sec. of the act of 31 March, 1860, Purdon, page 388. pi. 57. They were, tlcefore, discharged according to law and the Court would 1 probably have the power to direct as to ; payment of cost. The facts of the case stated show that the cases were con tinued from term to term and trial re fused by the Court under protest from \ both Commonwealth and defendants. It would he a hardship and unjust, j therefore, to impose costs on either prosecutor or defendants. It was not i the fault of either that the cases were not tried and the question of guilt or , innocence as well as payment of costs i disposed of by a Traverse Jury, as the defendants were only charged with misdemeanor. The defeudants discharged according to law; the offi cers costs or reco.d costs in *be cases should be paid fro.n some source and while the Court might not have power to impose the costs of witnesses of either side upon the other, we think the Court has power in discharging on habeas corpus to order payment of offi cers or record costs as it may seem just and right, and, as said above, it would be surely unjust to impose record costs on either prosecutor or defendants, the costs of their own witnesses being probably burden enough for them to bear respectively. Judgment is, there fore, given for the plaintiffs in the case stated against the defendants. May 4, 1882. BY THE COURT. Burning of the Pittsburgh Court House. Shortly before noon, last Sunday, large volumes of smoke were seen is suing from the dome of the Court House, in Pittsburgh. The alarm was given and the firemen on entering the hall of the building found that the frame coffee house, which was located between two of the large pillars was in flames and had evidently been burn ing for some time. The flames were so fierce that the firemen found it im possible to extinguish them. The pillars which were of two inch lumber, and hollow, took fire and the fire was conveyed to the large dome, which was soon a mass of flames. The dome fell to the floor of the rotunda, about 2 o'clock, when the flames spread to all parts of the building, destroying the roof and everything on the third floor, and injuring the Court rooms in the second floor. All the engines of both cities were at the scene and by four o'clock they had the flames ex tinguished. The county offices, on the lower floor of the building, wer« com pletely flooded. All the county re cords were carried out and stored in the Sheriff's office and Quarter Sessions Court room, which are in adjoining buildings and which, with the jail building, were not injured. The loss, by fire and water, is placed at S?O,- 000, and the total insurance on the building is $62,000. The Court House was finished in 1841, three years after its commencement. It is built of stone; has stone floors and was considered fire proof. The large columns, in front of the building, are of stone, but the colums inside, which seem to have been placed there for ornament, were of wood, and were the cause of the destruction of thf building, aja they carried the flames to the dome. The Common Pleas Courts of the county will suspend jury triale for the present, and there is some talk of building an entirely new Court House. Lister's Standard Fertil izers. All farmers and florists, are unanimous in the opinion that stable-manure is by no lueanfi tho only good fertilizer for general use. Oue of the oldest and most popular manufacturers in HUH line is that of Messrs. Lisler Brothers, of New ark. New Jersey. They are known in every section of (he connutry as reliable and responsi ble business men, who have by fair and honora ble dealing iu pure fertilizers secured a high reputation. We hare never known or heard of a tingle syllable of complaint In regard to them from any quarter. They are probably the lar gest dealers in bone products in the country, which are now used in immense quantities by them in the manufacture of bono-meal, bone flour J:c. Their sales of bone to olher manufac turers are veiy large iu the aggregate, and fre- Suentlj cargo lots. Besides the pure bone pro ucts prepared and sold by them so largely, they also manufacture superphosphate of lime. This latter fertilizer, like bone-meal and ilour, is becoming more aud more popular with the people The Messrs Lister Brothers have had their fertilizers tested so long, in so many ways that they know and affirm that they are certain ly equal to the best iu the market. Chemists have tested them: rival manufacturers have also had it done, State officers, in the interest of fair and honest dealings, have done the same; and all this has benefitted the Messrs. Lister Brothers. It may be proper to say that we have writteu the above without hint or sug gestion from any quarter and wholly without tl;a H.nowledpe of the worthy firm to which we refer.

SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT THE IMMENSE BUSINESS OF IUK VOLTAIC BELT COMPANY, AT MARSHALL. MICH. —CORDS Ol" TESTIMONIALS T<> THE WONDIRFUL POWI UOF THE VOLTAH BELT APPLIANCES UPON THE HI MAN sYSTKM. - THE IN \ li.VTION Ol' DE. A. M. DYE, PA TENT ED J I NK 13, t?7O. Front the Chicago Inter Ocean, April 20, 1882. Believing that readers of the Inter Ocean would like to know more about the remedies offered in the advertisement, which has ap peared in its columns, proposing to .send elec tric appliances on thirty days' trial, a visit was inide to tint office of the Voltaic Belt Company, at Marshall, Mich. Before coming to the merits of the appliances of this company, some attention should be given to the soundness of the principle on which they are based. A very able article in the lioxlon Journal of Onainerce, May 1, 1880, siteaking of the Voltaic Belt Coin)>auy and l>r. Dye's electric appliances, truthfully says : "The fact that electricity forms one of the most subtle and powerful essentials of the prin ciple of life, if, indeed, it be not tbat life itself, i* now well known and acknowledged by all physiologists and scientists, and though dis putes wage as to its volume and inilutuce, t>oth are universally admitted to be so great that man cannot exist without the aid of this mighty and wonderful element, and in the exact proportion in which the human organism may have been depleted, in any instance, of its electrical current —life—must the deficit be made up that the original though unknown proportions may be again approximated. The efficacy of electricity in the cure of many diseases is supported by all the best authorities. It is especially efficient in debilitated, paralytic, epileptic and rheumatic cases ; in fact it is, to a greater or less extent, beneficial in almost every disease. It considerably augments the circulation of the blood and excites the action of the absorbents. "These facts being now admitted by tlie practical scientific men of the world, the ques tion presents itself: How is this power to be utilized for the benefit of distressing mankind ? That this question has been satisfactorily and finally settled by the discovery and perfection of Dr. Dye's Voitaic Belt Appliances cannot be questioned for a moment. Of the several methods or system devised for conducting the electrical currents to and through the human system, that introdued by Dr. A. M. Dye has met with the greatest success, and seems to fill all the requirements of nature, from both phys ical and scientific standpoints." Space will not permit a description of the construction of the various articles which form the.* appliances. A more important matter than "how are they made?" is "what will they do f' It may be stated in a general way that, recognizing the principle that "electricity forms one of the most powerful essentials of life," these appliances will remove and reme dy any, and all, troubles arising from a want or waste in our systems of this vital quantity. Most convincing proof of this is to be found in the multitude of letters which may be seen in the office of the company. Believing that the correct application of a scientific principle can best be fully determined by its practical workings, a few extracts from letters of persons suffering from varied and different diseases are given, and it would seem as if one who is afflicted with any bodily ail ment should know about it. A lady in Brook lyn. Ind., writes March 2, 1882: "In order to let you know the gratitude of my heart: That belt I purchased of you lastNovembsr has ben efitted my husband so much he is able to work every day." A Boston merchant writes, Feb. 27, 1882: "Another year has rolled around and I am still enjoying the greatest blessing that a man can 'have, viz., health. During the year just passed I have not had one day's sick ness, put it altogether, thanks to the Voltaic Belt." A bank president writes from New York, March i/, 1882 : "Enclosed please find check for $lO, paying for the Voltaic Belt. It is a good thing." A lady writing from Morris, 111., Feb. 18, 1882, says: "It has done me more good than all the medicine I have ever taken. For eight years I could not get in the buggy and ride two miles without making me so sore I could not get around for a week. Now I can go around and enjoy myself. You cannot know how grateful I am." A cabinet maker in Westville, 0., writes March 28, 1882 : "I received my belt the 2otb. It is helping me already." A St. Louis man, who was evi dently careful not to hallo before he was out of the woods, writes, Feb. 12, 1882: "I have beeu a long time acknowledging the receipt of your belt and suspensory appliances, but I thought I would wait until I saw and felt its effects. I can ouly say, they are simply won derful." We were shown hundreds of letters similar to the aboye, all speaking of the voltaic appliances with sincere gratitude and praise. Aside from the important business of preparing and distributing tlie3e great remedial agents, the office of the Voltaic Belt Company is inter esting. It is pleasant to observe the systematic regularity with which the immense bundle of letters which every mail brings is disposed of, and each variety of letter, inquiry, statement, or order, all going quickly and surely to the proper person, and from that person receiving prompt and exact attention. The business of the company is simply astounding. Orders for the electric appliances are coming in from all parts of the world. We were shown orders received from the West India Islands, from the Sandwich Islands, from Australia, from Mexico, from South America, from all parts of Europe, and as far away as Tokio, Japan. Every mail brings orders by the hundred, anil the office and manufactory of the company is one immense bee-hive of industry ana enter prise. The oompany issue a neat little book, hand somely illustrated, which very concisely and clearly sets forth the merits of their electric ap pliances and describes the different diseases for which they are applicable. They recommend tke appliances, particularly, to nervous and debilitated persons, whose vitality is lost or injured, and to those whose vital organism is weakened and impaired. They also especially recommend them for rheumatism, neuralgia, paralysis, spinal difficulties, lame backs, kid ney and liver troubles, and some other diseases. Their little book explains all, and will be sent to any address free by simply dropping a letter or postal-card to the company. M. Moore. 335 Penu ivca ne, Pittsburgh.

DOCTOR SKIP, OCULIST AND AURTST, 266 PENN AVENUE, PITTSBURGH, PA. Doctor Seip, lately of Philadelphia, has opened an Institute in Pittsburgh for the special treatment of all diseases of the Eye and.

Since our last, nothing speciallv new has transpired in oil matters about Butler The wells drilling «l and around the Sirncox it Myers, near Renfrew City, are all progressing to completion, and in less than a month I we will realize either a "tremendous boom'' or a fall as ''llat as a flounder" We regret to have to admit the McConnell well,, three miles west of here, "a dry hole." Great hopes were based upon the success of this well. And besides it had an import ant bearing upon the mysterious "belt" question. Exactly what its failure solves a 9 to the location of the 22 degree, the 22. 1 ,- degree, or the 23 degree line, is much mixed at present The "weight of the evi dence," however, appears to be that it was "too for west." And this being the case the satisfactory conclusion is arrived at that the real belt passes immediately under Butler. This is a pleasent view of the question and must put this place in the direct line with the Renfrew successful development. But a short time will solve the ques tion as to where the "lost belt" re ally exists. TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
