We do not know what efforts the company make to furnish pure water, but we do know that it would be a very easy mat ter for them to furnish good water.

These are all the precautions necessary, unless the pipes have already become filled witK Kith Wp HavA liPtirH it that boys are allowed to go swimming in the reservoir or send their dogs into it after sticks thrown in.

McElwain sued Kellerman for the possession of a horse that bad beeu stolen by a youug man and for which stealing the young man was sent to the peniten tiary. Kellerman won the suit and now McElwain is going to take it to the Supreme Court. On motion of his attorney, some time ago, the Court ordered the county stenographer to make out a long hand copy of 'the evi dence and Judge's charge in the case. The costs in the case have already amounted to several hundred dollars. The stenographer's bill against the county for copying evidence and charge was $89.90, and it will likely cost Mc- Elw'ain $l2O to get it printed in book form for the Supreme Court. The trip to Philadelphia will cost something, and, altogether, that will be a very ex pensive mare for both the litigants and | also the county of Butler. ®lyje Wntbtv Ciiixen t Hatter, ©jctcWcr tl, 1882. COURT \o res. ' The will of Peter Miller, Sr., of Lancaster township, was probated last ; week, Frederick Miller and Peter Miller, executors. Also will of Anna I E. Koegler, of Jefferson township, E E. Maurhoff, executor. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. Esq. John Smith, of Cherry twp , convicted at June term of perjury, the Court, Bredin Judge, on Monday filed a lengthy opinion on the motion in arrest of judgement and for a new trial, concluding as follows, "The falsity of his (the defendant's) oath as a whole is what he is on trial for and the whole oath must be given, new trial granted." The meaning of the decision is that the indictment charged that the defendant made oath that the facts stated were true whereas the proof was that the defendant made oath that the facts were true to the best of his knowledge, information and belief. Another defect in the indict ment was, that it stated that the oath was administered by M. N. Greer, Prothonotarv, whereas it was in proof that the oath was administered by Jno. W. Brown, deputy Prothonotary. The Court overruled the exception that the judgment was extinguished at the time the oath was made. The rule on North Buffalo twp., to show cause why said district should not be certified as the last legal settle ment of John McLaughlin was dis charged by the Court on Monday. Mc- Laughlin is an insane man who was pent to the West Penn Hospital from Clearfield twp., some years ago, and having resided in Clearfield twp. for nine years previous to his commitment that twp. is held to have been his last place of legal settlement. In the matter of the report vacating road in Allegheny twp. from Grant school house to James Jolly's, the court is of opinion that it is not neces sary as a public highway and that keeping it open and in repair as such involves the expenditure of more money than the township ought to divert from necessary roads. The court suggests that the road be kept open without expense to the public, either by the supervisors obtaining releases, or by the persons interested indemnifying the township against the cost of putting and keeping it in repair. The petition of Lewis Seaton for the removal of the school directors of Ve nango township was refused by the court. The court, however, is of opin ion that the directors ought to have ac cepted Seaton's proposition to provide a public road to the old location, and have rebuilt at or near the old site, and that changing the location to a point so far dia;ant from the centre of the sub-district was a mistake. Mr. C. F. Wick has brought suit against Clay twp. for $15,000, amount of damage sustained by him by reason of Lis being thrown from his buggy, dragged, kicked, bruised, etc. The Auditors' report in the account of J.

Oct. 10, 1882 The Exposition this year has been grand, aod this week being the close of this industrial exhibition it will be in fact grauderthan the former weeks; j the public seemingly appreciate all this and are flock ng from all quarters to ,< see the great show. The attractions are nil of the latest and best order. Those of your readers who have not been here will miss considerable if they do not take advantage of this last opportunity. Among the many beau tiful exhibits iu the building we note following: O. llnlockV Suite of Room* Undoubtedly the finest and most attractive exhibit ever made at the Exposition is that of Mesf-rs. O. Mc- Clintock & Co., of No. 33 Fifth avenue, who have fitted up in the east corner of the south gallery, several beautiful ly appointed apartments. They are all hung with choice tapestries and carpeted with luxurious rugs, the whole illuminated by electric lights. A massive brass railing encloses the front, running the entire length of the exhibit. The five apartments have portieres in front, each one made of different material The windows in the rear and the opening from one to another are also curtained to exhibit various styles and features. The fur nishment of the rooms is in accord with the beautiful surroundings of up holstery and reflect great credit upon the designer. Some quaint thimgs are seen in chairs and odd pieces and some very massive carving are very apparent. The latest conception in art and reproductions from the ancient styles, stand side by side most harmo niously. Although their display is valued at SIO,OOO it is merely a sug gestion of the enormous stock of ele gant carpets, upholstery and fine fur niture to be seen at their store. They carry the largest and finest stock this side of New York, and have the most extensive establishment in which to exhibit the same that can be found in this sectiou. Visitors to the Exposi tion will be very welcome at 33 Fifth ave., Pittsburgh. XoreltlcH \ew and Rare. Messrs. J. P. Smith, Son & Co., have a very attractive feature in the main isle near the center of the build ing in a hanging sign, stretched across from gallery to gallery, constructed with tumblers and goblets, .vhich, when the bright light from the electric lamps strikes presents a beautiful sight. It is a novelty and catches the eye from almost any part of the build ing. Directly under this lies an array of goods that would be difficult to de scribe, owing to both numbers and novelties. There are several large show cases full of goods which com prises one of the handsomest assort ment of clocks, bronzes, silverware and candelabras ever exhibited in the build ing. There are fine lamps in endless variety, many oi which are extremely beautiful, the bulbs and shades all be ing hand painted, and by a skilful brush, every touch of which is a pic ture. These are but a few of the many fine and useful goods to be found at their warerooras, 189 Attorney.
