Among those in the Common Pleas decided, were two Kailroad cases, in which the Pittsburg and Western Kailroad Company were defendants. One was that of Mr. Philip Gailbach, of For ward twp., who petitioned for the appointmeut of viewers to assess damages on the ground that he had never given a right of way to this par ticular Company (P. &. W.), but to a company of another name entirely. The Court held that the P. & W. Company must show whence they derived the authority claimed to enter upon the farm of Gailbach. The other case was before the Court upon exceptions tiled by said Railroad company to the report of viewers assessing damages to John 11. Negley for entry upon his land and material taken from it by the company. In this case the Court sutsained the report of the viewers and dismissed the exceptions filed against the same. CIIIIK<KI> WITH ELEC- TRIIITY. Strang*' Ilallueliialion of J still CM C\ Parker. At about ten oYl*ck last Wednesday night, Mr. James Parker of Mercer twp , rode up to the Sheriff's residence in this town, liitched his horse, and going iu, announced that he had come to give himself up. Though the night was cold he was thinly clad, and was apparently greatly evcited. In reply to a question from the Sheriff he said that they were after him, that K 'e-I the Hariisville con stable :h.".d|a wnrinnt tor I in, but that he had given them all the slip a:id had come to give himself up. • Seeing that the man w'as not iu his mind, but having no authority to con fine him, the Sheriff sent him to the Donaldson House. Here he sat by the fire, soon became drow s y anil was put to bed. During Thursday he acted strangely, but was not boisterous. The only thing the hotel people noticed in par ticular was the immense amount of water he drauk. Mr. Donalds jn says that he went to the water cooler about every five minutes, and each time drank a glass lull. That night he slept well, and next day, Friday, acted ration ally up till about nine o'clock in the evening, when he suddenly beame pisiessed with the idea that somebody was charging him with elec tricity —had a machine attached to hiui and was working the haudle, thereby charging him with electricity and destroying him both men tally and physically. He would call upon the imaginary person to desist and threaten to get square with itim—always, while talking, look ing up at the ceiling of the room. The hotel people now attempted to put him to bed, and took him to a room, where he sat down and pulled off his boots, and then made the aston ishing discovery that the bed was charged with electricity," that thousands of wires were attached to it and that if he laid down iu it, his secrets would be telegraphed to all his ene mies. He pulled his boots off and on several times and finally started down stairs, broke for the door and started off iu the dark. About midnight he came back, got warmed and then decided to go out again, saying that the doc tors had ail vised him to walk and run, but not to go to n ar the fire. This time he was ac companied by two young men with a lantern as far as the Pittsburgh bridge, where he start ed off on a run and they went back. He came back to the hotel about 4 o'clock, waked the people u;i and aunounced that he must have something to eat. Mr. Donaldson «ot him something and he ate ravenously—eating a whole loaf of breal, after which he laid down 011 some chairs in the office and weut to sleep." The next morning he did not eat his breakfast till about ten o'clock, when the hotel people were again astonished at his stowing away capaoity. He then washed and combed himself,' repeating each operation four times, and then rem irking that he was going up to see the Sheriff, disappeared, and up to this writing, Monday morning, has not been heard from. He left his horse standing in the hotel stable, and it is supposed that he started for his home o[j fqot. Mr. Parker is a constable of Mercer township, and was here on Monday of last week to make his return. He is about 45 years of age, is a bachelor and keeps bach elor's hall in a little hut on his farm about a half mile east of Harrisville. He is not a drinking man, and it is said that his habit* are good. Since the above was pnt in type, Mr. Parker ban been captured, put iu jail and on petition of the Sheriff, pomnwted by iht> Court to Dicmont. He went home after leaving Butler and was seen in the woods near his house. Some men who saw him in the woo lr Sunday evening and who were afraid that he would freeze to death tried to capture lum but he broke off a sapling and drove them away. Ho then went to his house, toie open a feather Le<J and cot inside of it. Next morning he' went to Mr. Wilcox's house, near by, where he was captured. W. B.

A large and exceedingly interesting conven tion was held by the women of Butler county last Wednesday, Dec, 6, in the Presbyterian church of Butler.—The meeting opening at 10 o'clock A.

U., to the ehair, and the ap pointment of Mrs. Black, of Butler, as Secreta ry pro tern. Rev Clark, of Prospect, in be half of the Butler W. C. T.

The followihg eoinmiU tees were then appointed: On "Credentials," Miss M. E. Sullivan, Mrs McClintock, Mrs. McCandless; "Courtesies of Convention," Mrs. Mcßride, Mrs. Bryson.

After most encouraging reports had been made by the delegates from the local Unions and other delegates desiring local organizations, llevs. Oiler, Clark, MeKinney, Furgeson and McLeister were introduced to the convention and responded by earnest words of sympathy and encouragement. The devotional e*eycisea of thp afternoon session were conducted by "Mrs. Mair, Matron of the Holly Tree Jun of Allegheny, the very sight of wnose countenance is like a benedic tion to every sorrowing, striving mortal, and whose blessed work for the salvation of souls eternity alone can reveal.

A A; Road According to the Mercer Press, there is no doubt that the S. &A. i R. 11. will have to lav a double track I to accommodate the new mines now being opened along its line. There is certainly a very bright and prosperous I future iu store for the owners of this roud. The officers deserve great credit and praise, not only for the excellent ! manner in which they managed their ! own road, but for the enterprise they i have shown in getting new mines opened along their line. Seven or eight miles of grading have been completed on the new con necting line to Butler. The abut ments of the big bridge at Keister's Mills have been finished. This is the largest bridge on the road, having a span of one hundred and sixty feet. Some of the iron has arrived, and when they begin to lay it they expect to put down a mile of it each day. The contract calls for the road to be fiuished July Ist, 1883, and there is every prospect of its being in complete running order before that time. The American Institute on Speer's Hines. A committee was appointed to visit Alfred Speer's Vineyards at Passaic, X. J., to examine his wines and cellars and report.

Harvard College, At a recent meeting of the Overseers of Harvard College, a discussion was held upon a resolution which had been before the board for several weeks, that in the opinion of this board, the statutes making attendance on morn ipg prayers and Qtber religiqus exer cises compulsory should be repealed.

Xotcs ou Current Events. , J The annual report of the United States Treasurer shows that this ; year's receipts were larger than those of 1881 by $42,742,957. The total i | net revenue was $403,525,360 ; the net i expenditures decreased from $260,712,- i i B*7 to $257,981,440, which makes an increase of $45,474,405 in the sarplua revenue applicable to the reduction of the public debt. The excess of reve ; duos was above $45,500,000. These ' are facts for Congress to consider. All the anticipated trouble about Arabi Pacha has been avoided. Arabi, by arrangement, has plead guilty of armed rebellion, been sentenced to death, and the sentence immediately commuted by the Khedive to exile for life. That was the easy and safe, as well as short way out of the perplex ing situation ; and whether Arabi is satisfied or not, he ought to be, and ev erybody else will be. Colorado may fairly be called the millionaire's State. A seat in the United States Senate, as a representa tive of Colo/ado, probably costs more than in anyother State. The three prominent candidates to fill the unex pired term of Senator Teller, now Sec retary of the Interior, are all million aires. Lieut.-Gov. Tabor is thought to be worth about $10,000,000. He became rich by being a grub staker. Grub staking is going into partnership with a miuer, and furnishing him with food on condition of being allowed half of all the finds. Gov. Tabor grub staked for the two men who dis covered the Little Pittsburgh mine. Then General Hamill, with two or three millions, is another candidate, and Gov. Pitkin, who is said to be able to kiss more babies, shake more yeomanry by the band, and at-k af ter the health of more unkuown fami lies than any other man in the State, will also strive to follow iu the foot steps of Millionaire Chaflie, who, a lit tle while ago, represented Colorado.
