it treats of.
Mr. Zikgler has introduced a bill
in the Legislature offering a bounty for
the destruction of owls and hawks.
Mr. Donly is a member of the Legisla
tive Apportionment Committee, a fact
overlooked in our former notice of the
committees he was placed upon.
AMONG the passengers on the vessel
Cimbria, recently lost in the German
ocean, were six American Indians,
named Red Jacket, Little Cheyenne,
Crow Foot, Black Bird, Chippeway
and Sunshine. They has been on ex
hibition in Berlin and other European
cities.
REPRESENTATIVE HASSON, of Venan
go county, has introduced a bill into
the State Legislature making it a mis
demeanor for Judges of the Courts,
the Governor and Lieutenant Govern
or, heads of departments and their
chief clerks, and members of the Leg
islature to accept free railroad passes.
These passes are generally granted
with the hope of making favorable im
pressions on the minds of the recipients
towards the grantors. While but very
few men could probably be bribed by
so small a consideration as a railroad
pass, still .even this favor has its ef
fect on the mind. It is safer to have
our judiciary and law-making power
absolutely free from all obligation to
such corporations. Such favors are
granted usually for the very object
sought to be prevented by this meas
ure.—Mercer Republican.
AMONG the bills "read in place" at
Harrisburg on Tuesday week was one
by Mr. Hulings, of Venango, for the c-e
--ation of a tree pipe line law. This is
virtually the bill that was killed by the
Legislature of 1879. It is of course
general in its application. Special
free pipe line acts now apply to eight
of the counties of the State, they be
ing Bntler, Armstrong, Clarion, Ve
nango, Allegheny, Forest, Crawford
and Wanen. The provisions of the
Hulling's bill relating to the right of
way are the same as are incorporated
in the railroad law. Its author says
that the Tide-water pipe line which is
gradually creeping toward Point
Breeze, on the Schuylkill river, near
Philadelphia, and which point is its
ultimate terminus, has paid $600,000
in "hard cash" for the purchase of the
right of way. This figure, of course,
is immensely in exaggeration of the
real value of the narrow strip of land
purchased, but the company was bar
rassed by its enemies who preceded
its original surveyed line and bought
patches to circumvent it. The conse
quence was that the enterprising com
pany was compelled to make frequent
circuits to steer away from these pur
chases. The line, therefore, has now
the appearance of a worm fence, or
even worse. Hulings admits that his
bill will be compelled to encounter a
powerfully organized opposition, but
says if the Democratic House is hon
estly anxious to make a reform record
it will pass his bill.— Petrolia Record.
Fencing Railroads.
There has been DO more just bill in
troduced in the present Legislature
than the one requiring Railroads
Companies to fence their roads. And
no law is more needed just at the pres
ent time. Roads are being made all
orer the country, and in many cases
the manner in which they pass through
farms or improvements make addition
al fences a large item of expense. Why
should the owners of the property ta
ken be compelled to make the fences
destroyed or rendered necessary bv the
acta of others? Those destroying
fences should be compelled to replace
them. And those rendering the build
ing of additional fences necessary
should bo the ones required to build
them. We tee no difference between
fences and other buildings in this re
spect.
There H another question of deep in
terest to the people. And this is as to
tbo danger to life of person or proper
ty. Any one looking at the tracks of
railroads tltout here will at once see
this danger. That accidents are cer
tain to happen there can be no doubt
They will come about of necessity.
And they may come with great loss
to persons not able to bear them. To
a poor man or woman losing a cow it
ma? be a serious loss. And yet there
is doubt if the railroad company can
be compelled to pay. But if they can
be compelled it will cost more than the
price of the animal to enforce bv law
the payment. This should not be; the
railroad companies should be required,
upon being notified of the loss in such
cases, to come forward and make
amen is, without waiting and forcing
the poor man or woman to bring suit
and be at expense and wait the delay 1
of the .law. But all these questions j
would be settled by requiriug tbe com- 1
panics to fence their roads as soon I
as tbe same are constructed. Our Leg- '
lsUture should act promptly, j
THE POST OFFICE QUESTION.
The question of the succession to the
post office at this place continues to
greatly interest our citizens. The ex
pression for an election to decide upon
the merits of the applicants has steadily
grown until it now appears to be unan
imous. If there is any opposition to
the people having an opportunity to
express their opinions on the subject it
has not been made public, and must be
concealed. The suggestion for an elec
tion was so fair and just to all that it
immediately commended itself to all.
It will not be long until these officers,
as well as many others, will be elected
under the law. A bill to amend the
National Constitution to that effect is
now pending in Congress. The past
mode of selecting them has been one of
interminable difficulty and trouble to
members of Congress, occupying time
that should be given to their more im
portant duties.
The debire for an election, at this
place, has been strengthened by the
manner in which petitions were sprung
upon the community. Without- any
information on the subject people are
importuned to sign, and do so only to
regret it when they hear of others, than
the one they signed for, being appli
cants. This is a common trick in
qaestioos of this kind, and hence it is
that people interested everywhere are
beginning to demand a free and fair op
portunity to be heard.
The member in Congress from a
district is always looked to as the one
expected to control in the post office ap
pointments in his district. We have
no doubt Mr. Miller, our member, will
concur in the general desire of our peo
ple here for an election to fill the office
here. He will doubtless soon, if he
has not already, notify the applicants
of this view of the matter, and request
them to meet and fix upon a date for
the election, or their friends to do so
for them. As to the question as to who
should vote at the election, this they
can also arrange. Whether all receiv
ing their mails at this office, or whether
Republicans only should vote, and
whether the election should be confined
to the borough and township of Butler
surrounding, that vote at the Court
House here, or be enlarged to the Re
publicans of other near townships re
ceiving their mail matter here, all these
points con be easily arranged. And
any disposition of them will be as fair
for the one as for the other. In either
case a fair expression of the public
opinion can be had and that is all that
is desired.
THE equity case cf Elisba Patterson
against the Tidewater Pipe Line Com
pany wus decided at Meadville last
week bv Judge Chueh in favor of the
later. In the bill filed Patterson alleg
that he was a stockholder; that the
company was a general partnership,
and that he bad the right as a partner
to have the partnership dissolved and
a receiver appointed. He also alleged
that the company was insolvent All
of these allegations were denied by the
defense, and it was charged that the
design of the suit was to wreck the
company. The litigious Mr Pattersou,
hawever, came up at the annual meet
ing of the Tidewater Company, at Ti
tusville, on Wednesday of last week,
and the board of managers was ousted,
the vote resulting in the election of
John Satterfield, manager and chair
man; T. S. McFarland, manager and
treasurer; I). B. Stewart, manager and
secretary; F. B. Qowen, manager, and
James R. Keene, manager Of the
above board, Satterfield, McFarland,
and Stewart supplanted B. D. Benson,
A. M. Perrin, and R. E. Hopkins
Qowen and Keene were re-elected.
The old board of managers refused to
give up the office, and applied to the
courts for an injunction to restrain the
new management from interfering w.tn
the business or property. Judge
Church granted a preliminary injunc
tion on Saturday restraining the new
ly elected board from assuming control
pending an action to show the illegali
ty of the same. The old board has
also issued a card cautioning the pub
lic and all persons interested not to
recognize the claims of Mesrs. Satter
field. McFarland, and Stewart as offi
cers of the company. The Satterfield
party, it is claimed, hold $250,000
worth of stock, and Perrin and party
$160,000 worth. A decision will prob
ably be reached next Monday.— Pttro

Roberts' Torpedo Patent.
Special to the Commercial Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Congress
man Tom Young, of Ohio, the Chair
man of the House Patent Committee,
yesterday introduced a bill in the
House granting an extension to the
Roberts torpedo patent. The bill is as
follows: "That the Commissioner of
Patents is hereby authorized to extend
the reissued letters patent granted to
Kdward A. h. Roberts, January 26,
1875, numbered 5,258, for a method
and means for increasing the capacitv
of oil wells (original patent dnted Nov.
20, IB6t>, antedated May 20, 1860, aud
numbered 59,936,) for "a term of seven
years from the date of the passage of
this act." The introduction of the bill
was a surprise tor mar.y Pennsylvania
members. W. B. Roberts, of Titus
ville, who has been here for some time
ostensibly engaged in settling a dis
puted question about the fencing in of
lands out in the ludian Territory, has
said repeatedly that he had not the
slightest hope of securing the extension
of the pateut. He thought be would
let the matter drop. That the bill
should be introduced now in face of
these statements would indicate that
all hope had not fled from the doctor's
heart. It was necessary, however, to
go outside of the Pennsylvania delega
tion to get the bill introduced. The
selection of Mr. Young may be con
sidered judicious. Being the Chairman
of the Patent Committee, as well as
the brother of the guardian of the J
Roberts children, be will have the dis- j
position and power to push the nieas
ur.? through the committee into the 1
House. Once there, however, its de- j
feat is considered certain.
Your correspondent asked Mr. Er
rett what he thought of the prospects
for the passage of the bill. "It has no j
chance whatever," be said. 'Since
the power was vested in Congress to
extend patents there has not been a
single instance where such a thing has
been done on any patent. I don't
tbitik there would be forty votes in its
favor if it should be brought before the
House."
Mr. Bavne said: "There is no
sense in asking for an extension of this
patent. The Roberts family have
grown wealthy from it and should be
satisfied. The ouly reason that could
be given for the extension of a patent
would be that the inventor hau not
made anything out of his invention;
that he had spent more money than he
had received and desired to get back a
fair recompense for his labor. In such
a case as this there would be some
justness in granting an extension of his
patent, but in the case of Mr. Roberts
the demand is absurd and will be voted
down."
Mr. Miller said he was opposed to
granting Mr Roberts an extension to
bis patent. He thought be ought to
be satisfied with what be had made on
it already. He should vote and work
against the extension, although it
might be favorably reported to the
House. Mr. Young, Chairman of the
Patent Committee, being in its favor
would be sufficient to accomplish this
much. It will make no difference,
however; the House would vote it
down, no matter in what manner it
should be presented for consideration.
It was indirectly charged last fall that
Miller secured his renomination for
Congress by promising Roberts that he
would support him in his efforts to
secure an extension of his patent. This
Miller flatly denies, and from the way
he talks it is believed that he would
fight the bill to the best of his ability.
Mr. Roberts stated to your corres
pondent that he had now some two or
three thousand lawsuits pending, grow
ing out of infringements of his torpedo
patent. The oil men in Pennsylvania
will fight the bill, but Roberts is not
without friends. Should the bill by
any chance pass the House, W arner
Miller, of New York, will look after it
in the Senate. Undo' the guidance of
Young in the House and Miller in the
Senate, even with the present bad out
look, its cha ices for passage may not
be entirely hopeless.
Nearly Foily Acres of Land
Sinking at Wilke^barre.
Wilkesbarre, PA., Jan. 21 —At about
5 30 o'clock this morning a serious
cavo-in occurred in the neighborhood
of Scott and Kidder Streets, in the
Second Ward of this city. The ground
for.the space of about twenty acres or
more was covered with cracks and
seams, and the report of the earth giv
ing away was something similar to a
loud explosion. The disaster occured
before many of the residents in the lo
cality bad risen, and fcr awhile the
greatest consternation prevailed. Men,
women and children rushed out of their
houses iuto tue cold, freezing atmos
phere half clad and terror-stricken with
fright, and their fear was quite natu
ral, as many of the houses showed
signs of dropping over any minute, the
ceilings of many of them having fallen
to the floor, and the buildings were
otherwise injured.
The streets were soon crowded with
people and a search was begun to as
certain the cause of all the disturbance.
Lanterns and miners' lamps were
brought into requisition, and it wus
not long before the exact situation of
ufluirs were learned. Along Scott
Street was discovered numerous zig
zag gaps, from two to four and five
inches in width, running diagonally
across the thoroughfare and under the
houses that Hue Scott street, in the
vicinity of the Baltimore, Boyd's and
Barney Boyle's stores. These seams
were threatening in character, and
naturally tended to greatly increase
the alarm that was felt. Those car
rying lanterns in the search were fol
lowed by excited crowds, many of
them children, and some women, who,
upon the di covery of each new seam,
would cry out in the greatest agony
of distress.
When daybreak dawned the excite
ment wis somewhat allayed, but not
to any extent. The new* spread rap
idly, and in less than two hours after
the cave-in, thousands were on the
spot or in the immediate vicinity.
The most conflicting reports were a
float, which only weut to add to thd
already-excited feeling existing among
the property owners, who feared an
other shock at any moment which
would leave them homeless and pen
niless. The greatest damage was
found to have been done on Scott
street. Here seams ran across the
street every few feet, some of them
measuring four or five inches wide.
The pavement of the sidewalk had been
filled up in some places to the height
of several feet.
The houses on each side of the
way had nearly all been more or less
seriously injured, ceilings and plaster
work had been shaken down, doors
jamed to, or the Irame work forced a
part, floors hed been split and the foun
dations of many structures had been
seriously damaged. The residence of
Frederick Handmesser is very greatly
damaged. The floors are split and
the foundation walls cracked and
thrown out of place in such a manner
that it seems alihost impossible for
the house to remain standing. Fur
ther down the street are the buildings
owned by Mrs. Haines and the resi
dence of Peter O'Donnell, which are
almost ruined. The seams run ac ross the
street and under many of the buildings.
The foundation walls of nearly all of
the structures on Scott street are more
or less injured. The school house,
built of brick, although itself almost
uninjured, is surrounded by gaping
earth cracks, one of which ruus com
pletely under the building, and no
school wad held to-day in conse
quence.
The ground in many places has sunk
fully a foot below the surface level.
The territory that has thus caved in
is situated over tbe old abaudoued
workings once worked by tbe Dela
ware and Hudson Canal Company.
It is supposed that the props in tLe
fifteen feet Baltimore vein, situated
about 280 feet below the surface,
have rolled and given way, thus
causing the disaster, though old and
I reliable miners contend tbat the ac
cident is the result of pi liar robbing.
| The entire extent of the cave-in
comprises a space of nearly forty
acres, most of which is covered with
dwelling and other buildings During
the day many people moved away from
tbo scene of the disaster as it is
thought that this is but the beginning
of a more serious trouble.
Another Faith Cure.
One of the best painters that ever
lived in Butler was Henry C. Moser.
Henry was born and raised in Hutler,
and resided here np to something over
three years ago, when he removed to
Harrisville, this county, where he now
resides We had not heard of bis
being sick, but it appears that for
about two weeks previous to last
Thursday a week, he was completely
prostrated by a hemorrhage of the
stomach and entire paralysis of the
right side, and was so helpless that he
could not move his righ arm, hand or
foot. Even his life was despaired
of, and the sick man himself is said to
have relinquished all hope of recovery.
But while laying in bis bed praying,
on Wednesday of week before last,
his mind, according to the report of
the Mercer Republican, "became im
bued with the idea of a cure by virtue
of prayer. While in this frame of
miud, and engaged in his devotions, he
says the door of his room opened and a
vision appeared to him, giving him to
understand that if he would engage in
prayer at two o'clock the following day
the desire of his heart would be grant
ed and h|B cure effected. In the
morning he entreated his brother, who
was visiting him, and was about leav
ing for his home, to remain, Btating
his belief that he would be restored to
complete health at two o'clock in the
afternoon. He also requested his
wife to bring his clothes, brush and
have them in readiness for use at that
hour. His wife and brother were
alarmed, and thought him deranged.
His reported vision they regarded as a
premonition of death. Yieldiug to his
earnest entreaties, Rev. G. W. Ches
bro and wife, Rev. Father Hodill and
wife, and others (all of Harrisville, and
all well known here,) were called in.
As the hour of two o'clock approached
they all engaged ia prayer. About
two o'clock Mr. Moser began to clap
his hands, and declared he was cured
and well. He got up, dressed him
self in the clothes his wife had got in
readiness at his request and walked
about the house apparently rrstor«-d to
complete health and strength. T hose
present were all astonished and una
ble to account fur hi- instantaneous
[cure. The people in ll irisviile, who
knew he was 1.1 a lioj,»-less condition,
were incredulous when informed of
his recovery. A Mr. Henhrson
brought him f: load of coal 1 lie next
morniug, and wasgr«*tly surp'i-e-1 at
seeing the dying pate nt of Ihe pre
vious day extend his fornit rly
paralyzed hand and grasp his with a
firm grip. At latest »<• •< unts Mr.
Moser retained his suddeul v restored
heallh, an! suenx-d completely restored
to bis usual vigor From a reliable
source we lesrn that th.s statement of
the case was given by the minister
present at the alleg"d remarkable re
storation." We r«joiee to hear of
ilenr}''s recovery a.d believe in his
miraculous cure as tii >roughly and
firmly as we believe that he fluw
across McKeau s-t , this towu, some
years ago, 'r mi the ro >f 'he U. P.
Church to the roof of the ievidence of
II Julius Klingler. Th« story is that
Henry was painting the church, and
that while paiutiuir the steep'e, stand
ing either on the scaffolding or ou the
ed#e of the roof, he made a mis-step
and would have fallen to the pavement
had not the Lord bad mercy on
him and carried h m through the air. 'a
distance of some eighty or uiuety feet,
andsafely landed him on the roof of
Klingler's house.
Since the above was in type we re
ceived the following communication
on the subject:
A FAITH CURE IN HARRISVILLE
HARRISVILLE, Jan. 25, 1883.
EDITORS CITIZEN :—Brother Moser
came here as a temperance revivalist
three years ago. Wherever he spoke
the power of the spirit was with him
aud he did much good. He is eim
phatically a trust in God kind of a
man. He is noted lor this. His life
has been characterized by many re
markable acts of Providence. He is
the same man, who. in attempting to
run from a falling wall of Wuller's
burning drug store, to or more years
ago, ran against a hitching post and
fell back on the pavement. The wall
parted in the form of a circle and fell
around him, not as much as a brick
hitting him, and many of the citizens
of Butler who witnessed it declared
that it was providential.
FoUr weeks a<ro he was stricken
down with paralysis, his right side
being palsied. Ou the 17th, inst., an
hour of prayer in his room was set for
4 P. M, on the 18th. On the night of
the 17th, Rev. Moser felt an assurance
that he would be healed at the meet
ing the next dav, and on the morn
ing of the 18th had bis clothes brush
ed and laid by his bed, aud was so
confident that the Lord would heal
him that he could hardly wait the
hour.
At the hour appointed tbe Ilev.
Chesbrough aud several others came
in, and while engaged in prayer for
him, Bro. Moser began to clap his
hands, and said, "thank God it is
done."
I called to gee him tbe next day
and was much astonished to see hitn
sitting up, and reaching out his right
hand to shake hands. lie got up
and walked across the room. A
week has elapsed since his miracu
lous cure, and ho contiuues to im
prove. The feeliug in bis right side
njiurned at once, and was quite nat
ural from the time of the healing, al
though he was weak I was to see
him to-day. He is able to go to his
meals, arid is feeling quite well.
We all feel that a great and notable
miracle has been done

Farmer's Ice.
When a farmer comes in to bis din

rest of fifteen minutes can sit down to
dinner having a glass of iced milk or
iced tea or coffee, or a dish of ice cream,
he can enjoy them as no one in any
other situation in life can. He is situ
ated to enjoy tbem Let me tell you
bow to put up ice.
Build a rail pen 18 inches high,
tramp it full of sawdust and build a
block of ice upon it six feet square,
continue the pen of rails hiijh enough
to f-dmit of covering, stuffing the
cracks with straw and filling in saw
dust around the ice, tramping it as
you go. Cover to heep dry, give
plenty ot ventilation above the ice,
but have the ice covered two feet deep
with sawdust. The cakes of ice should
be cut square. This is easily done by
laying off a square on the ice, and cut
ting to a straight edge. There things
are necessary to keep ice, viz: Ist,
Keep dry by good drainage and cover.
2d, Plenty of sawdust under, over and
around it. 3d,good ventilation above the
sawdust over the ice. Any farmer
can put up and keep ice thus, and can
buy a freezer for $2.50 and harvest
evenings may regale himself under his

be happy at less expense than any one
else. Yours &c., A. B. G.

MR. EDITOR:—It ia our pleasure to
acknowledge through your columns a
pleasant surprise at our home, Jan. 18,
1883. Having passed through a very
pleasant communion season, b».f i
ning on Friday and closing on M>n
das ; previous, ou the day mentioned,
we were invited out for supper, but be
fore the hour had arrived we were
hastily summoned to our home by the
announcement of the arrival of friends
Coming in sight, we discovered the out
yard full of teams, the house full of
aruests—whom we soon found to be
members of the U. P. congregation and
numerous friends of the yicinity —who
had taken possession in our abscence,
and had prepared a bounteous supper
from their baskets, which we all enjoy
ed. Ou further examination we found
a good supply of corn and oats for
my pony in the stable, our coal-house
tilled with coal, and flour, groceries,
notions, etc., in the pantry, kitch
en and study. After spending a few
hours very pleasantly together we
sang the 133 Psalm and closed with
the Apostolic benediction A few
days later we received a load of hay
and one of straw. We thank our
many friends for these tokens of their
affection.
But, above all, we thank the Great
Giver of all good for the love and
good will that prevails among us.
Sincerely yours,

The Summit Church Lecture.
The second lecture of the course,
now in progress in the Summit Pres
byterian church, was delivered on Fri
dny evening last by the Rev. Sylvester
F. Scovel, pastor of the first Presby
terian church of Pittsburgh. His sub
ject "A man's a man for a' That," was
handled in a masterly manner. The
sentiment contained in those words of
the Scotish poet was elucidated in the
clearest and most forcible terms. Man}
hood received at the hands of the
lecturer a handsome tribute, and at the
close of the lecture his audience was
profoundly impressed with the fact that
man, after all, is a very important part
of creation. His denunciations of caste,
aristocracy and preferment on account
of rank or position were emphatic.
Every sentence uttered was replete
with instruction, and the attention of
the large audience present was marked
and unbroken from the commencement
to the close of the lecture The next
entertainment to be given in Summit
church will be a musical concert, under
the direction of A. G. Williams, Esq ,
of Butler. It will be given on the
evening of the 14th of February. O.

ALL RESPECTABLE DRUGGISTS
KEEP "PAIN KILLER."
The Bad and Worthless
are never imitated or counterfeited.
This is especially true of a family
medicine, and it is positive proof that
the remedy imitiated is of the highest
value. As soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that
Hop Bitters was the purest, best and
most valuable family medicine on
earth, many imitations sprung up and
began to steal the notices in which the
press and the people of the country
had expressed the merits of H. 8., and
in every way tryiug to induce suffer
invalids to use their stuff instead, ex
pecting to make money on the credit
of H. B , with variously devised
names in which the word "Hop" or
"Hops" were used in a way to induce
people to believe thut they were the
same as Hop Bitters. All such pre
tended remedies or cures, no matter
what their style < f name is, and es
pecially those with i!i!' word "Hop" or
"Hops" in their name, or in any way
connected with them or their name,
are imitations or counterfeits. Be
ware of them. ToNch none of them.
Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters,
with a bunch or cluster of green Hops
on the white label. Trust nothing
else. Druggists and dealers are warn
ed against dealing iu imitation or coun
terfeits.
