About a dozen passengers for points in this county were on the A. V. R. R., train that arrived at Parker, from the North, about half-post four last Saturday after noon. They expected to catch the train on the P. & W., that leaves Parker at 4:40, but as their train on the A. V. R.

One of the persons mentioned in forms us that the A; V. R.

Scout, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, at Kdgufton, Kansce, to llcbert Stewart and wife, of Brownsdale, this county, conveyed to them the iad intelligence that tiiair son, G. W. Stewart,had been aim >st instantly killed the pre vious day. He was tiEsisticg a neighbor to cut down some large shade trees, and was trying by the u?e of props to throw a tree in the opposite di" rectiou from which it leaned, when it suddenly fell and struck liiiu on the head, rendering hiin unconscious and causingdeath a few hours afterwards. He was an excellent young man, and his sudden death was a severe stroke to his family aud friends, aud also to the cimmu' nity. —While the jail-hill was coated with ice last week, the boys eujoyed coasting down it. The hi!! is very steep, and startingon their sleds near the Court House,they would get enough mo liienium going down it, to send them across the bridge and quite a distance over on the flat. There is no sport more dear to the heart of the boy than coasting. Even skating gives place to it in his regard. The exhilarating charm of a ride down the flank of a hill, smoothly coated with snow or ice, at express-train speed, is enough to make almost any schoolboy be come a truant. It is, however, attended in some cases with great danger to life and. limb, especially when the coasting gound is very steep. Every winter we have to record the death or maiming of careless coasters, and, in some cases, of persons who have unluckily got in the way of the flying sleds. —Says the Franklin Press: "Our exchanges are giving publicity to an item which says, 'This year will be a peeuliar one iu some re spects. For iustance: the girl born this year will probably not be married before the year A. 1). 2000." If this be true it is sad news for 'the girl !>orii this year.' Think of waitin# | II- years for a husband, with a probability | that, as usual with her sex, she will get a poor ; excuse of a fellow after all. Long ere the wi!d j bells shall have rung out old 1999, 'the girl j born this year' will feel like the western belle | who had held her position like a statue among the wall-flowers at a dance, until long after midnight. At length an eastern exquisite timidly ventured to inquire if he might have the happiness to lead her in the next daucc 'You just bet you can, cully,•' she replied; 'l'm doggoned if I haven't jest sot and sot and sot till I thought I'd almost tuck root." —A correspondent of a Pittsburgh paper writing from New Castle, says that lately a young lady of that town, the only daughter of a widow, was married to one of three men to whom she was eugaged, and as she jparried the cne her mother disliked the most, there was weeping, wailing and gnashWg of teeth on the part of the aforesaid mother. One of the men to whom the young woman was engaged to be married, was a farmer aud lived in Hut. ■ ler county. The other two lived near New Cattle. To avoid marying the one whom her I mother wished her to marry, she wrote a letter ! to the Butler county farmer, telling him that 'she would marry lmn on Tuesday. In the : maan time her mother made things so lively for her that f-l.e marritd the New Castle man to whom her mother objected. Their marriage took plaee on Friday. When Tuesday arrived Rud the Uuiler farmer appeared ready to be wicfificed on the alter of matrimony, he found the fair object of his affections the wife of another.

The Shenleys live in London. —One of the Pittsburgh papers of last Fri day, stated that "Uncle Jake" had introduced a bill which provides that no attorney shall be elected District Attorney who has not practiced law for at least three years. Such a law would be very unpopular with several of onr young attorneys, who are thiuking of being candidates next summer, —Since the Milwaukee fire, the authorities ol'Philadelphia have seen that all the large hotels of that city are provided with the safe externa! fire escapes provided for by law. These escapes generally consist of iron ladders leading from the upper stories to an iron bal cony ou the second story, to which the ladders of the Fire Department could, in case of fire, be raised. There are several lofty hotels in Pittsburgh which should be provided with the same kiud of escapes. The Secretary of the Treasury lias, upon the recommendation of Superintendent Suowden, of the Philadelphia Mint, approved a change in the diameter, devices aud inscriptions of the five cent nickel cjin.

The reverse contains in the centre the num eral V., around which runs a wreath of cotton, wheat and corn, and the wreath is surrounded by the inscription, "United States of Amer ica," and, in smaller letters, *'E pluribus unum." —The bill regulating the Presidential succes" sion which passidthe Senate lust week provides that in case of death or disability ot both the President and Vice President, the Secretary of State shall perform the duties of President. In case there should be no Secretary of State, the office shall devolve upon a member of the Cabiuet until the disability is removed or the vacancy otherwise lawfully tilled. The order of succession is as follows: Secretary, of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of War, Attorney General, Postmaster General, Secretaryof the Navy, and Secretary of the Interior. —The last report of th e Census Bureau con tains some statistics which even the women Will find far from dry. It appears that the figures showing the amount of money spent for clothing for men and women last year are, respectively: For men, $498,000,000; for women, 317,0u0,000. It thus seems that the proverbially extravagant manner of referring to the dress of woman is ni'ju.st and illogical. The claim will be made that nun are obliged to exceed their own notions of necessity for the sake of women; but perhaps this is an ar gument with two handles. '1 he truth seems to lie in the theory that the great mass of evcry-day workingmen dress with less regard to expense than do every-day workingwomeu. —With more than forty million barrels of crude petroleum above ground, as claimed by the Standard Company, and the production al most keeping i>ace with the consumption, op erations in the oil regicu are not what they used to be. The object is the same as in early days of Oildorn—to get rich, or, having got rich, to get richer; but the methods are entire ly different. Taking oil from the earth and selling it at the market price is regarded as a slow way of making money nowadays. Speculation has became the rage. Almost everybody in the oil regi.'n is a bull or a bear. There are speculators whose efforts are in part directed toward influencing the market so that they may take advantage of it: but the great majority are simply trying to "catch on" at the right time, and to let go when the most favorable moment arrives. Tyrolese Wedding at Pardoe. A larga circle of friends assembled on Tues day the 11 Inst, at the Roman Catholic chapel at Pardoe to witness the marriage ceremony of Mr. Sebastian Stein! igner. a native of Tyrol, Austria, and Miss also a native of that country. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Mclntee, of Sharpsville, in a soleain and impressive maimer, in German, English and Latin. After the ceremony the invited guests to number of nearly one hun dred repaired to the house of Mr. Steinligner's father, where the bridal couple received the heartfelt congratulations of all their numerous friends. An elegant repast, consisting mainly of the national diohes of Tyrol, accompanied by a large supply ot the "Old Fatherland bever aj;e," was spread and partaken of freely by all present, after which the rooms were cleared and a regular old fashioned, genuine German- j Austrian dance was started, which lasted un-j til the next morning. The newly married couple had been attached | to each other in their old home before he left . Tyrol to seek his fortune in the New World, j Although separated they were faithful to each other through the weary years of waiting until he was able to have a comfortable home pro vided for her. About two uuqtUs ago he sent for her and she gladly responded to his wishes anil arrived in this country to leave him no j more. May they live long and prosper. —JAr- i ' c.r Dinpatch.

A more pleasant surprise than we enjoyed cn the evening of the loth, we cannot well im magine. A number of our friends of all the churches and others in town and country conceived the project of paying us a visit which they carried out on the evening as above stated, in a most admirable manner. They came, old and young, male and female and took complete possession ofourdomicil up stairs and down; nor were we the least offended at it even though the whole affair was arranged without our knowl edge. The company was large and lively, kind and considerate, peaceful and plentiful. They en joyed theni.ie ves; we were passive, but enjoyed ourselves, and after a general good time they departed as peaceably—but not laden as they came—for they left a purse well filled, a large quantity of the good things of this life which we shall certainly enjoy and for all of which we shall never cease to be grateful to all who were present and to all who contributed who were not pre.-ent. Rev. Marshall made a neat, humorous pre sentation speech, seconded by Rev. Bean, and we replied—well, who knows what he replies on such o casions—but we know that we are truly thankful, all the same. CHAS. L. AND SARAH L. STREAMER, Couitersville, Pa. The Circus Fire. ST. PET ER.SU into, Jan. 15, 1883. Tbe loss of life by tbe burning 1 of the circus in Berditscbefl' on Saturday last was not so great as at first reported, but is believed that over one hundred and fifty persons perished in the flames. The fire broke out toward the end of the performance and was caused by the careless handling of fireworks on the stage. The curtain became ignited and the flames quickly spread to the walls and roof. The members of the orchestra were the first victims. The audience, numbering eight hundred persons, rushed to the front door, but ! it opened inward and as the crowd j pressed forward it was rendered useless. A rush was then made to the two side doors, both of which were nailed up, thus compelling the people to take to the windows, from which many sprang into th*j street with their clothing a sheet of fl ;me. The Fire Brigade ar rived within half an hour, but it was impossible to extinguish the fl imes as the water in the tanks was frozen. The fire lasted two hours. Eyewitnesses state that when the doors were finally opened a mass of burning persons were visible within. The horses and properties of the circus were all de stroyed. Another account says that 400 per sons were suffocated, crushed or burn ed to death in the circus at Berditscheff. The horses, running about wildly, in creased the confusion. The circus was a wooden structure. 300 LIVES LOST. The Hamburg-American Steam er Cimbria at the Bottom of the Sea. LONDON, Jan. 21.—The Hamburg- American Line steamship Cimbria WHS sunk on Friday morniug in the Ger- ] man Ocean, 12 miles southwest ofj Barkum, by the British skamer Sultan, i She sunk 15 minutes after the collision, j Thirty-nine persons la ded at Cux- j haven last evening. Oilier boats are \ still out. The steamers Bavaria and ; Hansa and several tugs left immedi ately in search of the missing boats, j The details of the Cimbria disaster j show that the loss of life must have been fearful. A dispatch from Ham burg, sent by the Hamburg-Americau Steamship Company, says so far 5G persons from the Cimbria have been lauded, a number of them at the Meser lighthouse. The name 3of these have not yet been ascertained. The Cimbria left Hamburg on Thursday with 330 passengers and a crew of 110. She ran aground before j leaving the Kibe, but got.off with flood tide, with the assistance of the steam er Hansa, \\ithout damage, and she put to sea at 2:30 in the afternoon, j On Friday morning she came into col lision, during a thick fog, off Barkum with the steamer Sultan. The Cim bria sauk in a short time. When the boat with 39 passengers arrived the company sent out the steamer Hansa and four of the largest available steam ers at Cuxhaveu to search for other boats of the Cimbria. The West In dian steamer Bavaria also left during the night with a similar object. The steamer Sultan, which suffered heavy damage in the collision, has arrived in the Elbe. Skinny Men.

The coal mine ot Mr. Israel Cranmer, located about three miles on this side of Sunbury, in Clay twp , was the scene of a terrible accident on Monday afternoon of last week, by which Mr. S. P. Graham, a son-in-law of Mr. Cranmer, lost his life, and two other young men—Walker Cranmer, a son of Israel, and Richard Ekis —were severely injured. It appears that at the time of the accident, Mr. Graham and Ekis were filling a blasting-cart ridge. Mi. Grahim was sitting, and j holding the powder can, said to have i contained about tea pounds of powder, ] in his lap and was pouring the pow- i der into a tin cartridge held br Mr. Ekis, w hen Mr. Cranmer who had a mine lamp attached to the front of his bat came up f;:.d stooped over the powder can. A spark Iroru Mr. Cran- [ mer's lamp, or so:ae burning oil, must then have dropped into the powder, for the explosion occurred almost im mediately, burniug and otherwise in juring Mr. Graham so badly that he died the next day, badly burning Mr. Ekis and also injuring Mr. Cranmer. Although Mr. Graham was terribly burned about the face and neck and probably injured internally by the shock, he is said to have jumped up and ruu for quite a distance after the ex | plosion, and to have run past his own | bouse and nearly to the house of his ! father-in-law, Mr. Cranmer. Improved Treatment of Diph theria. In a communication to the Chica go Medical Journal Dr. Magill de scribes a method of treating diphtheria from which he has secured better re sults thin from any other. Ileuses an ordinary hose, from three to five feet long and about one inch in diameter. One end of this is placed over the spout of a common tea kettle, into which has been put half a gallon of water and half an ounce of carbolic acid ; the kettle is then placed over a good fire, and when the water reaches the boiling point the free end of the hose is carried under a blanket thrown orer the patient's head. The room must be closed. In a short time the patient will perspire freely. If per severed in at short intervals'the breath iug becomes softer, and presently, after a succession of quick expulsive efforts, the patient throws off a coat or tube of false membrane. The acid vapor seems to prevent tbe reformation of ex udation. Alcohol and sulphate of j | quinine are used in connection with j ' th. 1 acid for their supporting proper- : ! tic a. A World "of Good.

One Brother- ShDOls the Other. A very distressing accident, says the Parker I'h r.ii.r :.f January 19, occurred on Wed teniiv afternoon of this week, wherein one brother shoots the other. It appears from our infor j mation that two boys named Muili | mer, aged eleveu ami tlrrtucu years re spectively, were engaged iu shooting I at a mark, when the other, either play ! fully or otherwise, placed his h< » 1 in front of the mark just previous to his brother's firing. The missile lodged | in the brain of the youuger, causing I I his death. The circumstance, whether accidental or malicious, is certainly a shocking affair. We are without furth er details at this writing. Wm. H. Midlam, Harrisburg, Pa, says: "Brown's Iron Bitters speedily I cured me of a nervous affection of the stomach." BUTLER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The large pumps belonging to the J United Pipe Line at Bear Creek have i been at rest, the reason not known, j Notwithstanding that the pumps aie | idle, a second four inch line is being laid to Cleveland via Milliards to con vey oil. It seems strange that two lines be laid when one cannot be kept busy. It has been surmised that the United were loading up iu the region ' to be better prepared should a guage of the tanks be taken. The capacity of the pumps at Bear Breek station is capable of transmiting one half the present daily production.— Parker Phoenix. Lecture at Pertersville. Rev. J. A.
