—lf a person is attacked on the highway by
a dog he or she has a right to kill the dog and
the owner can be held accountable for any in
jury inflicted by the animal. Now this is an
important piece of news, for when a man or
woman understands the law on this point they
will walk right up to the first bull dog thev
meet and cut bis throat, instead of climbing
over the nearest fence and yelling for help.

The people have come to the conclusion

—Six hundred Chinese, penned like so many
hogs," have just arrived from Hong Kong in

coming in, without noticing it, put their shawls
and other wraps on top of it until the babe was
completely covered up. When discovered the
child was nearly dead, its lungs being congest
ed, and all that saved its lite was its hcaltbful
condition. Had the discovery not been made
until some time later, the occasion would have
been a mournful one.

—An eastern paper whose memory, or that
of its readers, runs back sixty-six years, recalls
fkg 4old season of 1816. As late as the 16th of
June a Vermont farmer, who went to look for
his sheep, overtaken in their pasture by a
heavy snow-storm, was nearly frozen to death
jjimcelf. Another farmer, near Lowell, Massa
chusetts, built tires around a field of corn at
night, "to ward off" the frosts," and so secured
the only tuop of corn in the neighborhood. It
was feared "that the #un WM cooling off," and
there were no picnic*. The* fejftjqiscences at
least serve the purpose of correcting tJi>< fre
quent bvsty assumption that the chifi(t(ritti((
of the KVO n are changing.

—At the meeting of the members of the
Presbyterian Church, of this town, last Mon
day morning, it was discovered that the Rev.
W. E. Oiler, of Tarentum, was the unanimous
choice of the congregation for pastor, and a
call has been sent to him. Mr. Oiler graduated
at the Allegheny Seminary the same year that
Mr. Snowden did.
—Saxonburg is an enterprising
place, and the people know a good ar
ticle when they see it. They are all
getting Guest's Spring Beds from
R. Ash.'
—The somewhat remarkable story reported
from Richmond, Va., last week, to the eftect
that a colored boy had been struck dumb for
telling falsehoods, is suddenly dispelled by a
later report, which describes how a couple ot
prominent physicians, becoming interested in
the case, undertook to eft'ect a cure. boy
was first put under the influence of chloroform,
but all attempts, by sticking him with pins
and other artifices to make him speak failed.
A galvanic battery was next applied with bet
ter success, the current having no sooner been
turned on than the afflicted youth began to
wiuirm and twist, and finally he was compelled
to cry out, "Stop, doctor, stop." I pon being
released he rufused to tpeak until it was again
proposed to apply the battery, when he ex
claimed, "No, doctor, no more ; I'm cured.
He then confessed that lie had been shamming,
but his superstitious friends believe that the
cure was effected as mysteriously as he had
been stricken.
FOE SALE. —Frame house, four

—lmmigration to this country is now at a
flood tide beyond anything hitherto known.
The number of aliens landed at the ports of the
United States in 1881 was upward of seven
hundred thousand, which exceeds the number
of arrivals in 1880 by about a quarter of a mil
lion. No previous year in the history of the
country snows an immigration approaching
this in magnitude. But the unprecedented
tide of last year is still rapidly rising. The
arrivals at New York alone during the first hve
months of the p.esent year show the enormous
total of two hundred and twentv-eight thousand,
and outnumber those for the corresponding
£eriod of last year by nearly fifty thousand,
[ore than ninety thousand immigrants, or an
average of three thousand a day, landed at i
Castle Garden in May of this vear. which is
about fiiteen thousand more than arrived in
May, 1881. What will be the total immigra
tion to the United States for the current year
it is impossible to foretell. That it will reach
an aggregate far surpassing all previous figures
cannot be doubted.
Just received our second stock of
White Dress Goods—the finest ever
shown in Butler, at

—Railroad-building, which went on
last year at a remarkable and unparallel
ed rate of between nine and ten thous
and miles in the twelve months, is
likely to continue through this year at
almost as lively speed. In the first
five months 3,480 miles of track were
laid for 120 different lines in the vari
ous States and Territories, Texas lead
ing with 734 miles. The iron horse is
pushing its way everywhere, carrying
immigration, civilization and triumph
in its train.
The heavy rain of last Monday
morning caused a flood in the creek
and runs in this vicinity. The iron
bridge over the Connoquenessing near
James Karnes, east of town, was under
water for several hours; the fiat, in the
eastern part ofthe borough, was cover
ed with water, which at noon was
within a foot of the floor of the Spring
dale bridge. Sullivan's run overflowed
its banks and made some of the streets
in the western part of the borough, in
cluding the west end of Jefferson
street, impassable. The hail that ac
companied the rain did some damage
to vegetation. We hear of several
bridges in the county being swept
away and much injury to other prop
erty— crops not much injured.
Now is the time to procure
Guest's Spring Beds, and do away
with your heavy ticks in warm
weather. R. Ash will be around
with them.'
The sun has apparently regained
its usual June fervor. The true ex
planation of the comparatively cool
weather seems to be that the amount
of aqueous vapor in the atmosphere
was unusually large, and this served as
a screen to intercept the sun's heat
rays. No observations were taken to
show the absolute humidity of the at
mosphere, but the very heavy rainfalls
abundantly proved that the aerial cur
rents were abnormally charged with
moisture. The country south of the
fortieth parallel has been in fact screen
ed from tbe sun's radiation very much
as some of the West Indian islands,
where the vapor laden trade wind
shields the soil from the fiercest rays.
Even at Barbados, within about twelve
degrees from the Equator, the thermom
eter as a rule rises in summer only to
85, that beiDg the absolute maximum
heat given in the British records.

—The United States Circuit Court
in Kentucky decides that a profane
postal card is not within the act of
Congress prohibiting tbe mailing of in
decent and immoral matter, and accord
ingly has squashed an information
charging the defendent with having
mailed a card in which he called the
person to whom it was directed "a
damn scoundrel and rascal." It was
contended by the prosecution thet this
language is indecent within the mean
ing of the law. The Court gives the
statute a more limited construction,
and holds that since Congress struck
out the word "scurrilous" in 1876 the
purpose and effect of the law are to pre
vent the mails from being used for im
moral purposes, such as the circulation
of obscene literature, pictures, &c.
The connection in which the word 'in
decent' is used," says Judge Barr,
"taken with the history of the legisla
j tion upon the subject, leads me to tbe
conclusion that it means immodest,
| impure, and that language which is
coarse and unbecoming is not within
the inhibition ef this act.

HOOKER, June IG, 1832.
MESSRS. EDITORS:—I write for the
purpose of correcting some mistakes
j made by "Amicus" in the Eagle of
! June 7th, under the head of Concord
items. One mistake is, he says the
! fruit crop is a failure; we say no, for
I thore will be some apples, peaches,
I cherries and an abundance of small
1 fruit. Again, he says that the Court
! ney stave mill has been moved from
I the Kuhn farm to the Hindman farm ;
, ! this is false, for no part of it was moved
j at the time of his writing, nor for more
than one week after. He says that
Mr 3. Jane E. Adams has been appoint
ed post-mistress at Hooker, in the room
of Miss Maggie Campbell, resigned.
We suppose this is correct, but if so,
there was not one in ten of our citizens
knew there was such a change going
to be made, until it had taken place
and the appointment made. We pre
sume "Amicus" knew it, for he ap
pears to know a great deal that never
did take place, for in speaking about
the "Primary" he is not very care
ful about telling the truth. When he
says "The chasm heretofore existing
between two little rings" in Concord,
has been bridged and J. G Christy
and his cohorts, and John Harding and
his followers worked together, and
voted togther like little men, he either
wilfully or ignorantly asserts what is
false; for, we presume he means by
these little rings, the license and anti
license factions, of our township. Now
fortunately for ''Amicus" and his family,
this chasm remains open and is as wide
to-day as it ever was. Would it not
be well for "Amicus" there existed a
gulf between him and the traffic in
whisky, which is one of the little rings
that he speaks of, as great as the one
between the rich man and Lazarus.
When Mr. Amicus speaks of J. G.
Christy and his cohorts, we do not
know what he means, for we believe
cohorts to mean a body of soldiers.
Now we suppose he thinks that J. 0.
Christy controls a body of political
soldiers and that there was some com
promise between them and the whisky
ring, which he is pleased to call the
John Harding followers. This is not
true. Now for consistency: for a man
who is a professor of religion to wilful
ly, deliberately, openly and deGantly
violate his church obligations, and
then cry out inconsistency to a man
because he votes as he pleases, and
some other man happens, in exercising
his citizenship, to vote for the same
man, (and him not "Amicus'" pet
either), looks to me very much like
Satan reproving sin. 0 brother, first
cast the beam out of thine own eyes,
then thou canst see clearly to pluck the
mote out of thy brother's oye.

Positiv ely Restores the Hearing, ami is the only
Absolute Cure for Deafness Known.
This Oil is abstracted from peculiar specie ol
small WHITE SHARK, cauirht in the Yellow aca,
known as Carchurodou Roudeleth. Every Chi
nese fisherman knows it. Its virtues as a re
storative of hearing were discovered by a Budd
hist Priest about the year 1410. Its cures were
BO numerous aud many so seemingly miracu
lous, that ttie remedy was ofllcially proclaimed
over the entire Empire. Its use became so uni
versal that for over 300 years no deafness lias
exlslted among the Chinese people. Sent,
charges prepaid, to any address at #I.OO per
bottle.
Hear What The Deaf Say "!
It has performed a miracle in my case.
1 have no unearthly noises in my head and
hear much better.
I have been greatly benefited.
My dealnesa helped a great deal—think
another bottle will cure me.
"Its virtues are unquestionable and its cura
tive character absolute, as the writer can per
sonally testify, boih from experience aud obser
vation. Write at once to Haylock Jenncy,
7 Dey Street, Nc# York, enclosing #I.OO and
you will receive by return a remedy that will
enable you to hear like anybody else, and whose
curative effects will be permanent. You will
never regret doing so."—EDITOR OP MERCAN
