—The crop reports are most cheer
ing. 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.

—Farmers who leased their eoal
lands in the northern part of Butler
county in the years 1863 and 1864 to
Messrs. 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.

ANOTHER COSTS CASE.
In the case of Peter Kramer, Con
stable; W. H. Hoffman, Sheriff; W. A.
Wright, Clerk, and W. A. 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.

Izers manufactured bv this firm, are

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.

Oil—Where is tlie Belt ?
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.

Horrible Carnage.
LONDON, May 3.— A dispatch from
Bonny, west coast of Africa, dated
April 23d, reports that there has been
heavy fighting between the natives of
New Colabar and the followers of Oko
Jumbo. The latter were the transgres
sors. The slaughter is described as
fearful. At least 2,000 persons were
killed. It was feared Jaga would
take part in tha fighting thus causing
a war which would become whole
sale carnage. There was much alarm
among the English inhabitnats. It is
expected two guu-boats will be order
ed to the scene.

Good Grit All Round.
A wealthy gentleman at Forest
City, lowa, being somewhat skeptical
as to the amount of labor a minister
would be willing to do, offered such
clergymen as would be willing to saw
his wood for himsl per hour for their
services. He was considerably aston
ished when nearly all the ministers
in town came marching forward with
saw and buck prepared to accept
his terms. Some of them have been
working rittht along four to six hours
per day, Sunday excepted, ever since,
and their grit will probably last as
long as the skeptic's wood. They
have been promptly paid for their
work.
