BUTLER CITIZJE S 10HN H. 4 W. C. NEGiEV. PROP'RS, Entered at the Fost office ul Butler as second-elcsss tfialler. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 'B3. SUBSCRIBERS changing their resi dence or. April l»t will please inform us of their new address THE vote 3of Mr. Greer in the Sen nte, ou tho bill to prohibit free railroad passes, are on the wrong side of that question. ____ HON. CARLTON B. CI UTIS died at his home in Erie, Pa., on the 17th aged 72 years. 11c was a distinguish ed lawver and for many years a mem ber in Congress. MR. BANKER COB.OUAN. of Wash ington, is said to be eighty-five, and wants to live to see a Democratic Pres ident. "Once a man and twice a child." Does the old gentleman ex pect to outlive Methuselah TIIE remains of John Howard Payne, the authcr of "Home, Sweet Home," have been brought to his own country for interment. He died recently in Europe. His verses, "Home, Sweet Home," are regarded asthemost tender and beautiful in the English language. TUE resolution offered ia the Legis lature, providing for. the changing of moving day and renting day from the Ist of April to the Ist of May, did not meet with perhaps as much considera tion as it should have received. A time later, say three weeks, than the Ist of April, wonld certainly give better weather for moving aud be in time for farm and garden work. A TERRIFIC explosion occurred at Westminister palace, London on Fri day week la.st, and at the same time an explosion occurred near the London Times building. The first shattered the windows and doors in the imme diate vicinity of the place where the explosion occurred, and the damage in flicted is estimated at $25,000. The explosion near the Times ollicc did no damage. Dyuamite was used, and the London papers charge that the whole affair is the beginning of an effort to terrorize the English people by a secret organization of Irish agitators in order to force concessions by Parliament to the Irish party. IT is to be hoped the sad .accident happening to our Senator at Harrisburg last week will not impair his useful ness to his constituents or to the State- For a time he may have one "finger' less in any legislation before the Sen ate, but that will be the only loss. Prize fighting is a manly art, but when practiced, or imitated, among our Sen ators, they should be equally sized. The "overgrown boy from Bntler" should not have selected "one of the diminutive Senators" to experiment upon. The following is the account of the accident aB given in the Harrisburg Teleyraph : TOO FUNNY. "Senator Greer, of Butler, was sportively imitating the battle between McKnight and Emery, with one of the diminutive Senators, the smallest now in the chamber, when he dislocated his finger so badly that a physician's ser vices were uecessary. The queer oc currence occasioned an infinite amount of fun." To which the Pittsburgh Commer cial Oazetle, in referring to the matter, adds the following : "What is to be come of the dignity of the State Senate if the application of Emery ruflles the temper instead of smoothing the rough places in legislative life? And how unfortunate that another Senator in playing boyish antics and making mockery of his brethren of that House should break his finger instead of his leg. His neck could not well be spared. Another such a day would make the institution about ready to fence in, roof over, and exclude it as much as possible from public observation." Thanks. To Henry Bruncrmcr, of Connoque nessing township, wo return thanks for a copy of the DemocraticJlerald, of date of December 20, 184.'», sent us in response to our request of last week. It contains the "Trial of Samuel Mo hawk," at December term of Court, 1843, and from this it would appear the execution of Mohawk must have been in tho year 1814, and not in 18 45, as stated last week. If Mr. Brunermcr, or any other person in or out of this county, can scud us an old Jlerald with the execution of Mohawk in, or con taining a.i article from Rev. Jlasxlf.r on Mohan;!:, wo will be greatly obliged. It must have been published iu the winter or spring of 1844, as the exe cution took place about then. HISTORIAN. Patent Issued. The land department at Harrisburg last week issued a patent for some 30 acres of land to the heirs of the late William I'urviauee, Esq., deceased, of this county. This land lays in the Bald Uidgu oil district and is supposed to be quite valuable at present for oil. Two good producing wells are already in operation upon it. It appears Mr. William Purviance obtained a war rant for the land in 183H, but never had his title conipleti d by a patent, which is now issued to itis heirs on their ap plication. The application excited much interest and opposition from other parties now claiming oil rights through other parties. Hut if these heirs are justly entitled to this land they should have it, and will have it. M iss Dott Purviance, one of the heirs, has shown gn at pluck and success in prosecuting their claim, ar.d is highly commended therefor. What effsci tho patent will have on tho litigation now pending in our Court as to this land we cannot say. The Purviance heirs were represented before the Hoard of Proper ty by Senator Herr <t. Son, of Harris burg, and the opposition to the patent by Messrs. Thompson, It »binson and Brandon, EMJS., and Simcox it Myers, Phipps, Itcnfrcw and Dodds, parties interested. Congressional Districts. Before the Legislature met we said that the re-districting of the State into new Congressional districts. as the : ;v\ requires, would be pcrhaps the most difficult ta.-k at the present session. Our prediction seems to be veriiied and we think it now very doubtful if auv bill is agreed upou. One reason is the great number of Statesmen ambitious to go to Congress, who naiura'.iy want districts formed to suit them politically One of our members of the llou.-e, "Curie Jacob," seems to l)e iu this clars. Iu fact from the below remarks made bv him last week, when the bill agreed upon by bis fellow Democratic members was up, it would seem that he has for a long time pas! had Con gressional aspirations. Ibis bill places or joins this county with Armstrong and Indiana counties for a district. If would be a Republican district and is one of the few districts in that bill that Republicans could not well object to- But the Hon. Harry White lives iQ In diana county, and as he is charged with being a kind of standing candidate for Congress, Uncle Jacob" does not want to be in the same district with him. So when this Democratic bill came up our member is reported as speaking as follows: "Uncle Jake Ziegler, of Butler, made a vigorous but ineffectual kick against having his county put in Harry White's district. 1L; closed the debate by say ing 'I suppose I'll have to vote for the bill, as the lessor of two evils. When Butler was joined to Allegheny I was iu Assyrian bondage; then I was sent into Egyptian darkness, and now I am to be banished into Babylonian captiv ity by being joined to Indiana. Fll vote for the bill, but iu the clasi-ic words of Colonel Slote, "'Holy Moses !' " A vote was then taken and the House adjourned." We regret that Uncle Jacob yields any consent to this bill. In many of its other features it is a clear gerry mander, and we do not see bow the Republicans of the Senate can ever agree to it. Much as is the demand for the passage of some bill in that matter, yet we think the Republican Senate should hold out for a more fair one The bill offered by the Republicans in the House joins our county with Mer cer and Venango counties, which would be a much more natural district. At present it looks as if the bills re-district ing for Judicial districts, and for Sen ate districts, may be agreed upon and passed, but as to the future Congress districts there is evidently trouble ahead. A Bold Thief. On last Sunday week, 18th inst., Mr. John Bortmess, who lives in Oaklaud township, this county, about two miles west of Millerstown, was the victim of the arts of as bold and bad a thief as has appeared in this county for some time. A well dressed and genteel looking gentleman visited that section on Saturday, tho day previous. He first stopped at the farm house of Mr. Simon S. Reep, a neighbor to Mr. Bortmess, and represented he was from Mercer county, aud in tho search of a couple of farms which he wished to purchase. He showed a paper he had, with the names of Mr. Reep and Mr. Bortmess upou it, as persona desiring to sell their farms. This looked like business, and be soon closed a bargain with Mr. Reep for the purchase of bis farm, stock, etc., being in no ways particular as to price, aud agreeing to make payment on coming Ist of April, when possession was to be given, etc. He tben went to see Mr. Bortmess was also pleased with his farm aud con cluded a similar bargain for its pur chase. While negotiating with Mr. B. he asked to see his title papers, to show him which Mr. B. bad to open a bureau drawer. The scamp by this means discovered where Mr. B. kept his key, his money, etc. It is supposed he saw some money that was iu the drawer. It may be stated here that Mr. B. is a widower and living alone. Night coming on the purchaser of real estate concluded to stay all night, aud was permitted to do so. They retired to bed. In the morning Mr. B got up, leaving the purchaser of his farm apparently asleep, and went to his barn to feed his flocks. After being at the barn for a short time his guest came out to the barn also, and, after the salutations of the morning, said to Mr. B. he believed he would take a stroll over the farm to see the most suitable site to erect good buildings. He went —and not returning for some time Mr. B. began to get suspicious, but not un til some time iu the afternoon did he think of looking in his drawer, which, when he did, ho found he was robbed of his money, $25 in silver. No elue has as yet been had of this adroit rascal. If caught he should be hung. His device and mode of obtaining ac cess to the homes of honest farmers is the latest and most dangerous that could be designed. To ward off sus picion for a time he left a light gray overcoat in Mr. B.'s house before taking his walk over tho farm. He is describ ed as about 5 feet, 8 inches iu height, with side whiskers and dark clothing. Ho appeared to bo an educated man and gaye his name as W. P. Warner. His exploits are certainly a v:nrnin<j to all. Prospect Normal Academy.

The winter term closed on March 19th; and owing to the new "departure" made by the directors, the schools wiil not have thoir usual six weeks' vacation, but will go on till the six month terra expires, with a reduc tion of only 35 per cent, of the #rjuter wages. I wish to return my sincere thanks to all parents, pupils and direc tors for the courtesy they have shown mo; and I hope I have, done nothing to hinder anyone from feeling the same to waul me. AH teachers, »s well an parents, should endeavor to instill into tne minds o» all, a desire to become useful, and a never-flinching disgust for idleness; and though the seed may, for a while, lie dorniaut in the youthful soul, let us trust it will withstand the droughty season of youth's indifference, aua tli-t tjje showers of life's spring and the sunshine of manhood's summer will expand the bidden gei-ao into a sempi ternal flower called "Usefulness."

The Bill Pa-ned With Ameiid nients. U.\uitisBi;ttu. March 21.—The <lc feat of Ex Seuator Everhart's purpose —to jirtvcut tLe and atvcj.t auce of free passes—wu« indicated by the Senate's adoption of | Cooper's ameudiu.iu to permit passes to be issued fur charitable and benevo lent purposes Le«j moved to strike I out tin* word "benevolent." He held ; that this would enable tbe railroads to ; evade the law and give a to auy- I body. "It would give tbe Senator from Delaware a chance to get a pass, Id. hough he is not a proper 'subject for charity," said Stewart. I'ooper smiled, and the smile grew into chuckle when Lee's notion was defeated by a vote of 22 nays and 16 yeas as follows: YEAS —Adams, Agnew, Emery, Longenecker, Sill, Stewart and Watres, Republicans—7; Cose, Gordon, Hall, Hennmgt r, Humes, Kennedy Nelson, Sutton :ind Wallac, 1 emoeiats— 9.

All tbe Senators not named iu the above list were absent except Lee, who was pared with Davies, and Laird, who did not answer to his name. Henninfrer, Democrat, although he had voted to strike out "benevolent," now spoke for Cooper's amendment. "No Court," he said, "would so con strue 'benevolent' as to include Legis lators " Stewart advised Henninger to study the. mottling of the word in a good dictionary. Stewart added that if Cooper's amendment were adopted the Legislature might as well not pass the bill at all. He asserted that it was Cooper's plain purpose to have the free pa.-s system continued unchanged. Stewart drew Irom Cooper the admis sion that be, after fighting for tlje amendment, would v >te against the bill. He criticised Cooper (or misstat ing facts in relation to the transporta tion of troops during riots or war. He ask' d Conner to give an instance of the csrrviiir of troops without charge. In reply Cooper mentioned the riots of 1877, but Stewart said that was for the protection of the railroad's property. "And for the public good also," in sisted Oor.pt:?, "When was it donejn time of .var?" asked Stewart. "I said at half rates, not free," re plied Cooper. "Yes," said Stewart, "because the railroad charter says so." \fr. Wagupr t|ien amended the bill so »s to require passes jested to officers and employees to be tor tjiofap actually in thu service <>f the company. This was agreed to and the bill thus amend ed passed third reading and was laid over to be reprinted. Among the petitions presented in the Senate on the loth inst., was one worthy of special notice.

In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from the necessary thickness for engraving anil polishing, a large proportion of metal is needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav ed portions in place, and supply strength. The surplus gold is actually needless. In J amen Loss Patent Gold Watch Cases this WASTE •is saved, and SOLIDITY and STRENGTH increased by a simple process, at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID GOLD is soldere*! on each side of a plate of hard nickel composition metal, and the three are then passed between polished steel rollers. From this the cases, lacks, centers, bezels, etc., are cut and shaped by dies and formers. The gold is thick enough to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and engine turning. These cases have been worn perfectly smooth by use without removing the gold. This is the only case iruiile vndcr this jtrocess. Lack case is accompanied vith a talid guarantee siijned by the manufacturers warranting it (a vicar 20 years. 150,000 of these Cases now carried in the United States and Canada.
