The great strike of the Amalgama ted Association of iron workers of Pittsburgh and other cities and towns was ended in Pitts burg last Wednesday by the representatives of the Association agreeing that work should be gin at the old rates. This srike has lasted for nearly four months, and has been a very disas trous one for the laboring men. For months about 40,000 men, accoiding to the best esti mate, have been idle in Pittsburgh. Many of these persons have no connections with labor organizations, and were idle not from choice but of necessity, fn the Pitts burgh district about S.OW skilled work men belong to the Amalgamated Association of iron and steel workers. Before the forma tion of this Union there were different orders of workmen, some regularly associated and others without definite organization, that in an independent way discussed and aimed to fix the prices of labor. There were Puddlers or Boilers organized as the Sons of Vulcan, Rol lers and Heaters, Steel Melters, Sliinglers aud Hammer-men, Ac. Some years ago, when the Puddlers were on a strike for niue months in that city, the mills did not stop. Manufactur ers could procure puddled iron, or muck iron, as it is called, from other quarter* ; and other workmen, Boilers, 4c , having no connection with the Pu ldlers' Union, took no part in the strike In the organization of the Amalgama ted Association all these workers were united, and th J Committee of the Association arranges with the Committee of the Manufacturers year ly "wages saalos," to govern the price of skill ed labor in all departments. The wages scales adopted May 39, UMI, were to be in force from Jane 1, IHBI, until June 1, 1882. The prices for skilled labor were based on the Western Iron Association's card-rates for bar-iron sold for lJiceuU per pound, puddling or boiling was to be $5.50 per ton; at 2.6 cents, $5.60 i>er ton, &e ; at cents, sW j»er ton. This year the Amalgamated Association demanded that a turn suale should be adopted, and that at thii eard-rato of 2,5 cents, boiling should be s»> per ton. This demand the Manufacturers resisted, and hence the whole force, both of boilers and finishers, refused to work after June Ist. This rendered necessary the closing of the mills, and the discharge of all other employes. T ie U and ot't >e| Vssjjiation for an advance, in the face of a falling market, was reaarded H.S ill-advised by a Urge minority of the Union »qij by President Jarrett himself, and at the tfttiijtrel meeting of the Assouiation recently the ruU« were revised, so that hereafter a strike cauqot be inaugurated unless the resolu tion receives a (iro-thirds vote of the member*.

New styles in Collars, Ties and Fishus, at L STEIN & SON'S A strong gas vein was struck at the depth of I.tWU feet at the Philips Bros.' well on the McJunkin farm, last Friday. This gas comes from the top of the second sand and although the flow of gas is very strong it is thought that it can be made stronger by drill ing into the sand a little farther. The well is oniv about one and a half miles from the centre of this town and is already producing enough g.is to furnish the town with light, or a large rolling mill with fuel. It will cost something, perhnps two or three thousand dollars , to bring it to town, but it would undoubtedly be a puvim; investment. So cheap a fuel as natural gas with our increased railroad facilities, should surely make butler a desirable point for manu factories of all kinds. —The Perfection Bustle can only be had at L. STEIN k SON'S. Mr. Chas. Harper who lives near Ceutreville, this county, was arrested a few days ago and taken to New Castle on a charge of' horse stealing preferred by John Cum mings of Springfield twp., Mercer Co. Harper had a hearing and w*s discharged. Curn mings went to Mercer to secure the arrest of another alleged horse thief, but while there it was discovered that he was demented and he was enticed into the jail and locked up. The Mercer Rrpublican gives the following ac count of the matter: "A rather curious case was developed last week in Springfield town ship. A young man, a resident of that town ship, named John Cummings became imbued with the idea that he was on the track of two horse thieves. On Friday he went to New Castle to pursue this business. One of the Wallaces of that town had lost a horse some two years ago. The would-be detective im pressed him with the idea that the thiel was a man named Harper, living at Centrevillc. A warrant was procured and placed in Sberifl Richardson's hands, and he and the detective proceeded to Ceutreville and arrested the sup posed thief and lodged him in the Lawrence county jail. Cuminines then left for home, and on Monday came to Mercer to secure au other man who had stolen a horse in Ohio, and for the arrest of whom he was to receive five hund.ed dollars. Constable Hughes' services were secured and were to be forthcoming when the guilty party was discovered. It was at once discovered that Mr. Cummings was labor ing under a delusion. He was told that his man was then in jail. Upon proceeding to the jail and being divested of a razor found in his possession he was told to identify his man. A number of the prisoners were successively identified as the Ohio thief. The friends of the deluded man desired his confinement until he would become more reasonable. This ruse to get him in jail was planned to avoid any re sistance. He was kept in confinement until Tuesday when his friends took chartse of Itiin. Mr. Harper who was lodged in the New Castle jail is a respectable and law abiding citizen. A hearing was set for Wednesday in his cate when he was doubtless discharged." The New Castle Nti M iu giving an account of the case states that while Harper was in ja'l there, "David Richel, of near Harlansburg, with a couple of friemls, one nearly related to Harper, called upon Alderman Bowman and related that they were positive Harper was demented ; that his mother and sister were nearly crazed with anxiety and grief, they fearing that Charley had met with some accident or !iad committed suicide They also stated that he had quite recently taken his own horse and buggy, driven away and left them with a farmer, without saying a word about his inten tiono or the disposition of the property," and also that Cummings spates that there is a band of counterfeiters in the vicinity of Ceutreville that he intend* to ferret out.

The publishers of this volume in which so much interest is centered evince a laudable zeal and energy in the manner in which they are compil ing the work. They have an efficient and experienced corps of writers who may be found in almost any portion of the county interviewing the old resi dents, examining old documents and newspaper files, and from the yery thorough manner in which the work is being done, only oae result is to be looked for a complete and exhaustive history as near perfect as can be made at this time. Perhaps the most valua ble and interesting portion of the his tory will be that devoted the portraits and biographies of those most lartfly identified with the county's growth and development, and from the interest that is being taken in this part of the work by our best citizens we expect it to be as complete as the historical portion. No more fitting acknowledg ment could be made to those who may be appropriately called the "Founders of the County" for the hardships and privations they passed through in the eatiy days, than in giving their life history supplemented by a portrait. We sincerely hope that these men will have full justice done them. Already a large number have been assigned places in the work, among the num ber we may mention the names of Judge John Bredin, Judge Marshall, Gen. Purviance, Wm. Campbell, Peter Duffy, Capt. William Walker, Samuel O. Purvis, Jonathan Walker, Patrick Graham. In the northern portion ot the county there are many equally deserving, and we hope to see their biographies and portraits associated with those already mention ed The fact must be borne in mind that the history of Butler county will not be re-written in the life time of anyone now living, and that what ever is neglected will become a source of regret in after years. Another feature we wish to allude to, and that is the embellishments. It is highly im ; portant that the work should be well i illustrated, in no way can a finer ex ! hibit be made, of our enterprise and j wealth, than the representation of our i homes and farms. The artist, Mr. F. iM. Gilbert, is busily engaged in 1 making sketches of many of the rep resentative places of the county, and from the work which has been shown us we can assert positively that the pic torial portion will be par-excellence— We shall take occasion to allude to ! this part of the work again, and wo ' advise those who may be invited to be represented in this departmennt to give j the matter favorable consideration Insurance. j Geo.

The above are only in part the stock of horses on tne grounds, but all that could be gathered up in a cursory visit. The difficulty tc get all was that a great many of the stalls were locked, and others the owners or keepers were away in the crowd, and no one could give information. CATTLE. The display of cattle was not so large as at some former Fairs, but still there was some of all kinds, among others we noticed a herd own ed by S. W. Crawford, of Jefferson township, and by AlonzoMcCandless, Franklin township. Our space will not permit us to give the var ious breeds and exhibitors, as when we called at the stalls the owners were all lookiug at the races. SHEEP. This department was pretty well filled with a many different varieties, Merinoes, Span ish, American breds. Among others, John S. Campbell and R. D. Stevenson had some fine Oxfo.tl ewes, rams and lambs. There were all breeds and grades, Leicester, Cotswald, South down and all other kinds. HOOS. The display of hogs was good. Yorkshire, Berkshire. Poland China, and a dozen other kinds. We noticed a large Yorkshire sow with a dozen as pretty little "roasters" as could be set on a dinner table. Phil Crouse, Butler, had a splended Berkshire sow with a liiter of pigs. VEGETABLES. The vegetable display was not as large as this season would warrant, yet there were fine exhibitions of all kinds, such as beets, cabbage, parsnips, pumpkins, squashes, potatoes, grains, seeds, &c. KAKMING MACHINERY AC. The display was good, yet not unusually large. C ASTINGS AC. Bielil Bros., of this place, had latest and best improvements in farming machinery. J. G. ifcWm. Campbell had quite a number of farming utensils, as well as stoves and other castings; one, a cooking stove, cast under the supervision of Phil Crouse, deserves a special mention for its beauty and polish. KLOKAL HALL. Under the supervision of Mujor Anderson, was the general attraction for the ladies. The display of flowers, plants, garden and house, needle work, pictures, crayons, millinery goods, cabinet ware and harness was very fine. There were also breads and cakes of various kinds, pies, jellies, canned t'ruils, honey, and a great manv things too tedious to mention. The Hall was beautiiully festooned. In this de partment we noticed a fig tree with five figs on it, and two cotton plants, one with nine balls and the other with five on. All these were raised in Butler by Mrs. Anderson. EATING HOUSES. There were a number of refreshment stands, but the general one was under the supervision of John M. Smith and Mrs. Kmma Sykex. There could be obtained all that was wanted to allay the thirst or the cravings of the inner man; meals, lunches, soft drinks, melons or anything in the eating line. GENERAL. The grand cavalcade of stock on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, was the most interest ing incident of the Fair. The baking of pan cakes for miscellaneous dirtribution, by Miss Smith out of Al Keiber's pancake flour, was another. Also the display of Marvin & Co.s' bread and crackers. The races attracted gen eral attention. There are many things, of course, our space will not permit mention. A column of incidents and fun could be collected, but time and the crowd prevented. We clip tbe following from the Pittsburgh Comercial Qazelte of a recent date. Merit Rewarded. The Fairbanks Scale Co. are now completing a Government order for (>,OOO scales for the use of the Post office Department, which is one of the largest orders ever given by the Gov ernment for scales. It is a victory for the Fairbanks Company that few manufactures in that line of goods can boast of, and one that the Fairbanks Co. might be proud of. The precis ion with which their scales weigh has been a matter of comment for years, and that they should receive such a contract from the Government preference to other competitors has no significance other than that they have tbe best scale. Fairbanks have an exhibit in the Exposition that is well worth an exam ination. A handsome scale is adjusted in the entrance, where thousands of I people are weighed every day. When visiting the Exposition get i weighed on the Fairbanks scale. The I branch house in this city is at 48 Wood street. PRIXCIPI.ES AXD PURSES. Mr. Jay Ifnbbeir* Second De mand on the Clerks and Scrubbing-Woiueu. i From Harj>er's Weekly.] Mr J. Hubbell's committee has re sumed the farce of "voluntary coutri ; butious."' Having requested the clerks | in the public service to pay two per i cent, of their salaries and to say that 1 it was a free gift, and many of the clerks having declined to give to Mr. Hubbell the irresponsible dis position of the money which their families required, that gentleman now informs them that he has "noted with surprise" their failure to respond to the demand, and that he hopes that they will voluntarily send two per cent, immediately. Meanwhile bis agents, armed with complete lists of the clerks in the various Departments, and with the authority of the heads of bureaus, summon every clerk whose name is marked upon their lists as de linquent to pay up; and obedience or refusal is marked accordingly. While this inquisition is making and their reluctant money is extorted through terror by the official pickpockets some victim in the office should be delegated to read aloud to the other clerks, like a monk in the refactory to his fellows, the words of Secretary Folger to Mr. A. Thomas: "I would have him think and feel and do as if in the religious meeting-house of his choice the preach er should lay before him the needs of some cause." Mr. Hubbell's circular says that his committee "cannot hope to succeed in the pending struggle if those most di rectly benefited by success are unwill ing or neglect" to send him money. He means that it is office-holders who are directly benefited by the success of the party. But if this is true of a messenger-boy at S6OO a year and a cleik at $1,200, it is equally true of foreign Ministers at $12,000 or $17,- 500. Does Mr. Hubbell assess them two per cent. ? Has he assessed Mr. Lowell, Mr. Morton or Mr. Astor ? Has he demanded a .specfie sum of money of Mr. Robertson or of Mr. Pear-; son ? Fortunately the searching dis-, cussions of the summer have fully ex posed the contemptible trick of "vol untary" contributions, and the extor tions with which Mr. Jay A. Hubbell's name will be always indentified are now perfectly well known to the country. What does Mr. Hubbell mean by say ing that party success cannot be ex pected unless the office-holders will furnish the mouey ? There was a time when the Republican party succeeded, without any office-holder to assess, in carrying the election against a party which had all the offices and assessed all the office-holders. The doctrine then was that the people as well as the office-holders were interested in Republican success. If that is changed—if, as Mr. Hub bell suggests, it is the office-holders who are mainly interested in that success—why should the country help to keep them in place ? On the con trary, why should not the country feel it a duty to put out of office those who raise an enormous j fund to keep themselves in ? An enormous election fund justly alarms every honest voter, because it is not necessary and means a dishonest election. Mr. Hubbell's circular substantially announces that the Republican party depends for suc cess not upon its principles but its purse. If this was true it would lie the most conclusive possible argument against the party, and shows that every intelligent and patriotic voter should oppose it. But it is not true. Mr. Hubbell does not mean what he virtually says. He means only that if the messenger-boy or the clerk does not promptly pay up he will probably lose his place. The Phila delphia Press truly says: "A genuine service will be done the hopeful Re publican leaders on the Congressional Committee if their collectors are kicked out of the Departments and the scandal ceases iu the land."
