JJUTLER CITIZEN^ JTSN H. ft W. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postnffice at Butler as gecond-clc.*** matter. DR. ROBERTS is after an extension of i his torpedo patent by Congress, and the oil producers, in turn, are after him. A renewal of this torpedo patent is much opposed by the producers. This county is not so much interested •s others, still we believe the general view prevailing is un'avorable to a re newal of the parent. J TIMIE JERE. BLACK fell a short time »go and fractured his right arm in sev eral places. Being an old man, the physicians say he will probably never recover the use of it. A surprising fact is that be h s learned to write with facility and rapidity with his left hand and still conducts his owu correspondence. THE County Commissioners, last Monday, gave a contract for filling at the ends of the new bridge on the Freeport road. The importance of this filling being done immediately is the dangerous condition of the I'lank road bridge and the incompleted state of the Boyd or Springdale bridge, the only other Southern approaches to town. SENATOR HUMES, of Crawford coun ty, has introduced a supplement to the act exempting property to the value of S3OO from levy and sale on execution. It provides that no waiver or agree ment to waive the exemption allowed by said act shall be valid or authorize any levy, seizure or sale of the proper ty so exempted by said act, this sec tion to apply only to heads of families. If the S3OO exemption law is a good one, no man ought to be allowed to waive the benefit of its provisions. IT is to be hoped that the apparent difference of opinion as to the wording of the Constitutional Amendment, that has arisen among the friends of the measure, will not imperil the passage through the Legislature of a bill so much desired by the great body of tte people. There is little, if any, real difference in the true construction of the language used in both of the Amendment resolutions proposed, and one will be as well received by the people generally as the other. What the people of the State demand is the privilege of having a vote, to put in the Constitution what will end the sale or manufacture of liquor as a leverage. A MEASURE pending in the Legisla ture, says the Harrisburg Telegraph of Jan. 30, proposes a bounty upon the scalps of screech and red owls. It is also claimed that this prodigious effort ig in behalf of the farmers The legis lators would IKS doing the farmers and the Commonwealth generally, as well, a better turn if they were to amend by inserting after tho scalps of screech and red owls, a proposition to lift the scalps of about nine-tenths of the screech owls in their own body. The unearthly and senseless noises which these prattlers set up in the name of eloquence are much more of a strain upon the tympanum of the public ear than the nocturnal ravings of the utrix flammea. "Uucle Jake" has the lloor in answer to the above. MESSRS. Donlv and Zeigler have presented petitions in the Legislature for the prohibitory liquor amendment to the Constitution, from the town ships of Mercer, Marion, Center and Cherry, and from the Boroughs of Har risville, Butler and Sunbiiry, and per haps from other places we have not noticed. Mr. Zeigler has presented a bill requiring the payment of Justices' ' foes when appeals are taken from their decisions. Mr. Donly, a bill to pro tect and give preference to the wages of laborers in mines, etc. Also a bill for the protection of farmers and own ers ot cattle etc., along the lino of rail roads in this county. This is an im portant bill and should be pressed to passage. Mr. Greer has offered in the Senate, "An act to regulate the dis charging of liens of judgments and mortgages against lands sold at Sheriff's sale in the names of purchasers subsequent to liens." THE Eagle last week boasts of the number of names attached to the four petitions it sprung upon the people here, all in one afternoon, in regard to tho post office. But it forgets to state that many signed the same without knowing that Mrs. Black was an ap plicant, and afterward withdrew their names in favor of the soldier's widow. If the number the Eagle states it has thus sent on, for the retention of the present incumbent of the office, be genuine citizens and voters, and be added to the number known to have signed for Mrs. Black, then we have increased wonderfully in voters since the last election. The Democratic and Republican vote combined is ouly about 000. Vet about 1000 names have been forwarded to Mr. Miller. Something wrong here. But a sim ple, plain, honest and fair way to de termine who is the popular favorite for the post offh-e, is an election. Cer tainly the party claiming to have u majority will not oppose that mode of settlement. To do so will not only re veal their fears of tho result, but give the lie to all their claims. Where the "three fourths of the business and pro fessional men" of the place wonld stand would be clearly made known by a vote. The friend* of Mrs. Black claim that three fourths of the business ma of the place desire her appoint* ment. An election will decide how all these matters are. Let the soldiei's widow be heard. THERE is hope for the people yet. In the House of the Legislature, last week, a resolution passed requiting ses sions ot that body to l»e held on Satur days as well as other days. This h d oft-n been attempted before but never succeeded. We hope ibis reform, now inaugurated, Las come to stay. I? or vears and years pist members did not put in more th in three and a half of the six days of the week. And yet they drew jav for the days Dot in session and not serving the people the same as on days in ses-ion. When our Legis lature sets the whole week, and keeps to the labor it assembled to do, then will all needed work be done ar;d in shorter time. In no other public duty were the servants of the people allowed to run around so loosely, lhe free pass svstem on railways was the prin cipal cause for the want of close atten tion to their duties. If this evil is also abolished we may expect members to give all their time uutil their work is done. Legislation should be regarced more of a business th&u it is, and the members to give attention to that and nothing else duriGg their term of office. There is something very dishonest in any officer of the law drawing pay for time he does not serve. Besides, no member's mind can be properly uj on the duties of his office when he is at_ tending to other duties half the time The doctrine the people now seem de. termined to teach is, that when men are elected to legislate and go to their work, they should stick closely to it un til it is finished. What would be thought of a sheriff or any county offi cer who for three days of a week wa.-> not in his office and at his post, to per. form any duly required? And what is the difference in principle, between his public duty and that of a Legisla tor ? Mr. Ziegler, of this county, de serves much credit for the success-ful effort made to keep the House at its work the whole week The time here tofore lost by traveling upon railroads was becoming disgusting to the public< and it was high time for the reform in that direction to come, and it is to be hoped it will now fce adhered to strictly Congressional Districts. In the House, at Harrisburg, several bills to apportion the State into Con gressional districts haye been intro duced. One, said to be the most fa vored by the Democrats, joins Butler county with Armstrong and Indiana counties for a district. Mr. Ziegler, however, of this county, has express ed himself as opposed to that connec tion, and the general feeling in both parties here is against it, owing to the fact that we have no community of interest or business relations with Indiana county. The same objection is made to Indiana county that existed to Crawford county, to wit: want of conliguitg of territory. Compact or contiguous territory is required under the law, in order to obtain as much similarity of interest in a district as possible, and in order to prevent what is known as gerrymandering. There looks to be a great deal of this last in the bill referred to. The Senate, which is Republican, has not as yet shown its hand with a bill, but we presume soon will. Each House will doubtless pass a bill, and then the final arrangement of tho new districts will be determined by conference com mittees of the two branches. And indeed great care will hive to be taken if any new Congressional apportion ment of districts can be obtained f rom this Legislature. Senate Districts. The only bill wo haye noticed yet introduced joins this county with Mer cer county for a Senatorial district. This would ba a reasonably natural district, but not so much so as Beaver, Lawrence or Venango county wonld be. But a small part of our territory joins Mercer county, while a consider able portion of it joins each of the above other counties. Fromtho Sen ate committee no bill his as yet been introduced, and tho same difficulty in forming Senate districts will proba bly exist as in the formation of Con gressional districts, but not perhaps to the name extent. Committees ot con ference of the two Homes may agree upon the new Senate districts without so much trouble. Spring Elections. The time for the annual spring elec tions is approaching and we take oc casion to remind all oftheir importance. The local offices of a township or bor ough immediately concern the welfare of that township or borough, and great care should be exercised in selecting the proper citizens to fill them. This is generally done, but in some places an undue partisan spirit prevents the people from getting the best officers. In the borough of Butler this has sometimes been done to the detriment of its interests. For such positions as School Directors and Town Council men the very best qualified citizens , should be chosen irrespective of what [tarty they belongto. Since public im provements are becoming so frequent r the town authorities have to keep pace with them, and hence the neees , sity of competent local offerers, to not only guard, but to advance the inter ests our place whenever the same may be necessary.

GREAT FLOOD AND ICE IntheConnoquenessinghere last Sat- ■ ur lay night there was one of the most siddenand extensive, with ice, floods even known to take plac.3. It hid rain ed verv heavilv near all of the day of j Saturday and the earth, being frozen j ani smooth with ice, nil the water j falling soon found its way to the creek. ; It rose very rapidly, breaking up the ice, about 15 inches in thickness, i Gorges of ice were formed about the bridges here, one of which, between j the Plaak road bridge and the new I bridge on the Freeport road, is said j at one time during the night to have j been of fearful size and appearance. In the morning it was found that one of the stone piers of the Flank road bridge had been partly torn away. Tbi; bridge is now considered in so danger ous a condition as to require immediate attention. Large cakes of ice are scat tered all along the banks of tho creek, some of them displaying the most beautiful ice that could be imagined. The bark taken from trees along the stream here, shows the ica to have ' been running higher and more distruc tively than even known before. Monday's daily papers brought the news of very extensive ll >ods and loss I of life and property all around. At New Castle, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Titusville, Oil City and other near points the damage is great. Death"oTCarhart Walling. Mr. Carhart Walling died at the ; residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Jacob j B. Flick, in Middlesex twp., this; county, oa last Saturday, aged fl<; years. He was perhaps one of the oldest citizens of the county, anliu some respects one of the most remark i ble. Being small in stature and slen der in frame his activity and endur ance were greatly noted. He never weighed we believe more than about ninety to one hundred pouuds. He rpent most of his life a* out Whites town and Prospect, this County, and for many years served his feilow e:ti- Ki-ns as constable, collector, etc.. dur ing all of which time ho was never known to travel in any other way than by walking. His powers in that respect were marvelous. He could walk from Prospect to Butler, a dis tance off) miles, in a very short time, a thing he did often and often. This he di-J when more than eighty years of age. He went to live with his son in-law, Mr. Fliek in Middh sex twp., some f» w years ego, a distance of about 1 3 miles from Butler, and from which place he has, within the past five years, frequently walked to Butler. His lively disposition always made him a welcome visitor, and a more hone t, conscientious, obliging and faithful man never lived. All in this county who knew and remember him wili join in this tribute to his memory. An Apportionment Bill. The Democratic Congressional Ap portionment bill has been introduced at Harrisburg. It gives the Republicans 15 districts and the Democrats 13, and divides no county except Allegheny. It gives an average of 151, lot popula tion to Republican districts and 919 to Democratic districts. The smallest Democratic district is Berks ci unty, with a population of 122,599, and the larj est isa Philadelphialistriet, with a population of 109,307. The smallest Republican district is the Twenty-eight—Mercer, Venango, War ren and Forest counties—with a popu lation of 135,198, and the largest the Seventeenth—Franklin, Fulton, Bed ford, Huntington, Mifflin counties with a population of 1 'i he ag gregate population of the 13 Democrat ic districts is 2,013.952 and the aggre gate of the fifteen Republican districts 2,208,817 Th»*se figures look fair on the face but when we.come to look at the districts we find some evidence of tall gerrymandering. For instance, take the proposed fifteenth district of Sus quehanna, Bradford, Tioga and Potter. It stretches along tho northern bjrdir 100 miles, and there is not a contin uous line of railway passing through one county into another. The Demo cratic object in putting them together is to make un overwhelming Republi can district. The twenty-fifth—Clar ion, Jefferson, Elk, McKean, C uneron and Clinton has a queer look also, ex tending from near Williamsport in the east to the Allegheny river at Emlen ton in the west—a full day's ride by rail The Clearfield, Centre, Union and Blair district also look somewhat twisted, as if the desire had been to cover up two Republican counties with two Democratic counties. With these exceptions, the districts are fairly formed, and if these were reformed the Repilblieans would hive 17 districts and trie Democrats 11, which is about what ought to be. Tho districts in this part of the State are as follows : Twenty-first—layette, Greene and Washington. Twenty-second—The city of Pitts burgh. Twenty-third —The city of Allegheny and all that part of Allegheny county which lies north of the Ohio and Alle gheny rivers and between the Alleghe ny and Monongahela rivers. Twenty-fourth All that part of Al legheny county not included in the Twenty-second and Twenty-third dis tricts and the counties of Beaver and Lawrence. Twenty-fifth—Cl irion, Jefferson, Mc- Kean, Elk, Cameron and Clinton. Twenty-sixth—Butler, Armstrong and Indiana. Twenty-seventh Erie and Craw ford. Twenty-eighth—Mercer, Venango, Warren and Forest.— (Jrawjord Jour nal. A W'ill-Shooter Blown to Atoms. BKAUKOIID, February 5. Harvey Me II enry, a glycerine shooter in the employ >!

HARRISBLRG, .January 41 —There was quite a row in the House Commit tee on Judiciary General this after doon over the bill introduced l»y Han son, of Venango, making it a misde meanor for members of the Legisla ture, Judges or Slaio officers to accept railroad passes. Iluiings,of Venango, who by the way does uot accept pisses, opposed it out "of a teutler regard evi dently for the sensibilities of his fel lows. He argued that to pass this bill was in effect to say that almost ail the members of the Legislature, Judges and State officers had been committing an offense for which they should have ban punished by law. lie, fur one. wis unwilling to put that odiuui upon the officers of the State. Eleven other members of the committee felt a similar delicr.cy, and a number of them spike to the same general effect. McDowell Sharpe, Chairman of the committee, advocated it in a vigorous speech, declaring thai the public senti ment of the State demands the bill, and when the people arked such a guar anty of the integrity and fidelity of their servants their voice should be respected. Sterrett, of McLvCan; Mc- Namara, of Bedford; Jenkins and Davis, of Forest, also urged a favora ble recommendation of the bill, Mc- Xamara appealing to the other side uot to amotuer so important a measure in committee. Colborn, of Somerset, spoke agaiiist the bill, but voted fur a favorable recommendation. 'I he vote stood: For a favorable recoinmendation— Sharpe, Jenkins, M.-Natnara, .Sierrett, Davis and Colb ira—(s. Against—Macßc-yr.iilds, Vandcr slice, Furtb, Abbott, Brisui, <ire«-n, Evaus, Niles, \ ntikirk, and probably Collins and McDonald —12 The b.ll will, therel'ors, be reported negatively and will not get a place on the calendar unless it is piu'there by a two-thirds vote. Thj Tempsrance Crusade IIARBISUUBO, Ji-itit-y 31 —The friends of the l».II prop .sing an am- ad meut to the C i.'isti'u ; ;:i prohibiting the manufacturing and sale of ititoxicat ing liquors arc IU iking prodigious ef forts t..wards its favorable considera tion by the Lagi.-luture. To-day near ly one hour was occupied ia the House in presentation of jietitions in the in terest ot tin- measure, aod it is estimat ed that nearly one hundred i housand peo ple have already s.-k' <i the Legislature to submit tbe question of 1 i»ju <r prohibi tion ts ti.e people of IVnnsylvania. To-night ex-Chief .lustice Agnew de livered an interesting address in lavor of the proposed constitutional anieml ment to an attentive audience in the hall of the House Those pre-eDI were principally members of the Legislature, the !?enaU: be lug r. t n set ted by about one-third of the bo ly and thu House having a larg<T representntion. Bep pref-entative Clark, of ri<:ludelphia f presided at the meeting, in the absence of Governor I'aUi on, w!i > '.v is <x pected to li!l the position of chairman. Judge Agnew spoke an hour and a half. He claimed that the experience of -0 years demonstrated the failure of license laws License meant liquor and liquor meant drunken ties?. It was simply a sliding scale of public loss and private ruin. Prohibition was the demand of the hour. It never had the pretense of a trial. Men who favored amendments to the bill under consideration providing coinpenaa' ion to those who might suller pecuniarily from its passage, or against the impor tation of liquor from other States were enemies of the measure. If compensa tion should be required it could be pro vided by law. As to prohibition of the importation of liquors, it would be a:i infringement of the I'uited Stales Constitution. At tho conclusion of Judge Agnow's speech he was heartily applauded, and Representative Colborn, seconded by Representative Stewart, of Philadel phia, offered a resolution of thanks to the speaker, which was unanimously adopted. To-morrow afternoon the Committee on Constitutional Reform, which has the Prohibitory Amendment bill in charge, will hoar both sides of tho temperance question, when tho com mittee is expected either to report tho bill aflirniatively or negatively. The Floods. Tho moderate weather and heavy rains of last Saturday, caused the streams of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio to overflow and also caused a general breaking up of the ice on tho creeks and rivers. The break ing up of tho ice on the rivers is a thing much dreaded at Pittsburgh on account of tLe great loss of property that it generally entails When the ice went down the Allegheny river last Saturday afternoon, it, as usual, made a clean sweep of everything between the banks, and hundreds of rafts and boats, went down with it. On one of the rafts that went on down into tho Ohio, were four men, supposed to have come from the neighborhood of Frank lin or l'aiker. FLOODED OUT. Very early in tbe day tho traeks of tin; Pittsburgh and Western Railroad wore covered with water above Chest nut street, Allegheny, and travel in that direction was suspended in conse quence. It was also reported that sev eral bridges oil Pine creek bad been washed away, but this was denied by the officers of tho company. The low er part of Heir's Inland was also cov ered early iu the day and ten o'clock that night the water wan creeping up so fast that tho inhabitants became much alarmed. Tbe majority remain ed awake all night in order to bo ready to remove promptly if necessary. The following dispatches were sent on Sunday from points along the Allegheny river: PAIIKKU, PA., Feb. 4, —The water is from six inches to six feet deep on Itiver avenue and is raising rapidly. The stores are all flooded. Six oc cupied houses and a number that were unoccupied have been swept away. No lives have been lost but the dam age is immense. Many families and merchants have removed their goods to the Bluff The last mau who was swept away on tbe Emlenton bridge was rescued here to-day. FREWOUT, PA , Feb. I —Great ex citement prevails here on account of the rise in tbe Allegheny river. The water itegan coming up last night and continued rising until nine this morn ing when it remained stationary for a few hours, but shortly after the gauge board indicated thit it was rising at an average of ten inches per hour. At six this evening there ore twenty-five feet in the channel and still coming up si >wly. The ice is running thickly and the weather is cold. The waters in Buffalo creek have broken over the hanks and the probabilities are that by midnight the lower half of the town u'il b.; -;ilMiertfed. The residents in that part of town have already began . movinar up s f airs Thus far the dam- | age * > j r ipertv has b»-en slight, but the I woi -i has not yet come. Kirr AVNIVI. PA . Feb. 4 —Tliat pjr- | tion of the town that faces tLe river is inun a ted lor a distance of two squares back. Tho mill is also Hooded out. The greatest excitement prevails, and the peop! ■ are removing their furniture to plajes of salety. Tne river is still rising. The damage is veiy great. Foxr.iiu., PA., Feb. 4 —This has been a day of great excitement here The water is on River avenue, and the trestliug o! the first span of the new bridge has been carried away. The fc m leu ton bridge passed here in four sections. The ticoud section had two men on it it stru-.k one of the new piers, and n<-thing more was seen of the r..rr, '1 l.e third section passed all right. It had one Iran on it. Men from this place and Emlenton went to Parker on a hai:d car and got ropes and lanterns, aod as soon as the section struck, the the mau catigh'. the rope and was saved. ll.s name was lioss.
