aim of the school, as stated in their card in

•,yomen for college; to tit teachers to do the best
work ii) tbe scliQOl (Oyii), aud to give those
who do not intend to pursue a course in college
an opportunity of getting an education suitable
for all praetiele purposes in life." The trustees
are reliable, enterprising lupn. They have
secured a commodious building, made arrange
ments for boarding the students, and it is their
intention to make the Prospect Academy one of
the permanent institutions of the county. We
wish them success. Prospect is a delightfully
situated town; her citizens are generous, intelli

healthier location in the State.

some ten years ami soon acquired a goo;]
practice in the Common Pleas Courts of the
county, and for several years previous to the
repeal of the Bankrupt law, was the Register
in Bankruptcy for this comity. For sopae yein,
however, "his' heatth has been impaired and
thinking that a chaßge of location would bene
fit him, he finally concluded to remove to War
ren county, on account of its clear streams and
pine forests, where, in his leisure time, he
could enjoy his fjvvorile and nealth.producing
amusements of hunting and fishing. In his
removal this community losses a good citizen
and, personally speaking, we lose a good friend
and neighbor. lie is a man of marked ability
iu his profession and is also a man of strict
honor and integrity, and j;is styappsi; assured
wherever he may go.

A man named John Anderson was brought
to town by Constable Heed, of Cherry
township, last Sunday and put in jail
on a commitment by Esq. Smith, charg.
ing him with shooting another uia'i.
It appears that Anderson, and a man
named Williams quarreled la<-t Saturday,
either at Gomersol or Coalville or between the
two places, aud that during the quarrel
Anderson shot Williams in the back. Both
men are said to have been drunk, and Wil
liams is said to be dangerously wounded. Up
to yesterday morning no particulars of the af

Supposed Miirdbr in butler Co,
Some five months ago—in the latter part of
October, 1882, Mr. Nicholas Probst, better
known as "Dutch Nick," a drover who
bought up cattiu in this county and run them
to the Pittsburgh market, mysteriously disap
peared. Nothing was heard or known of him
until a few days ago when another drover
who had been very intimate with Nick,
told a certain citizen of this county that
Nick had been murdered at a certain house
between Butler and Harmony, knew that h£
had been killed therp, aud Niek gave
him all his money on a previous evening at
hoij.se nearer Harmony. The drover
li!}d been drinking before making these state
ments, and in attempting to patch
up afterwards, made them woyse.
He has not as yet been arrested but is be
ing watphed, and detectives of this and Alle
gheny county are investigating the case.
Probst made his home in Pittsburgh, where
he boarded. He was a widower and has. three
children shout the Pity somewhere.
The War at Renfrew.
The Renfrews and Purvianees had a battle
at the Sim Nixon hotel building, iu Renfrew,
last Monday morning, which seems to have re
sulted iu a victory for the Purvianees, or at least
one of them. The collision was brought about
by the Purvianees taking poss£sg-i»jl a»i<i claim
ing ownership of the hotel property under the
l*le decision of tho Jioa»u of Public Property
in their
time'last week and the Purvianees quietly
moved in before >}ixon's lpftsp ex-,

a Mr. Jiussejl, and qu Monday morning he
his two sous uiid »orae other men with
him and went to the building with the inten
tion of ousting the Turviauces. The Purvianees
warned them off the premises but to this they
seem to have paid no attention aud finding the
front door locked, proceeded to burst it in, when
Miss "Dot" Purviance put in an appearance,
some say armed with a club, some s?.y
with an axe, but, be that as it , uveitis
to have hid no tyouUe in pirttlhg" four men—
rvonirew, his ftoo' sons and a man named
Alshouse off the porch and out of the garden.
Renfrew is said to have called to the other men
to come and help them, offering them $5 a
head, but they did not come ami the P«r
viances held the fort. Both parties Uvn tele

1 Special Notice.
The rapid growth recently in strictly com
, mcrfial ventures t.l our leutiing neighbor cjtv
of Pittsburgh, lias Im-cii I lie subject of frequent
1 remark. All her wholesale business houses
1 are showi UK more energy and push, carrying
■ larger ami liner lines of goods, and stubbornly
. ami, we believe, successfully contending tor the
trade of this section, heretofore enjoyed by
' cities farther East. While this is true ot all,
it is particularly true of Porter & Donaldson,
the wholesale Millinery and Notion house,
whose card graces our columns this week. In
■ their uew quarters, 2iiO, 2112, 2ti4 Liberty street,
| they show a line of goods of which any city
might be proud.
In their Straw Goods Department can be
found a variety and assortment of shapes and
braids not exceeded by any New York City
house—all hrving been purchased within the
past thirty days—and adapted to the wants and
tastes of all.
1 As the latest news from Paris and other
■ fashion centres all point to a very profuse use
of flowers this season, and in rare combinations
of new colors, Porter & Donaldson show in their
Flower and Feather Department a beautiful
line, not only of the finest Roses, Montures ami
branched goods, but also of medium and low
priced goods, copied from French designs.
As ribbons will figure more largely this
season than for years, both as to Millinery and
Dress Trimmings, this house has prepared for
the demand, and in Two Tones, Ottomans,
Satin Gros-Grain, Fancy and Plain Gros-Grain, ]
display a stock and assortment to meet the re- |
retirements of the most extensive trade and at ,
the reri/ closest prices.
V'hije iioi pretending t:> carry a complete
line of Notions, Messss. Porter «k Donaldson

hquses anywhere.
While we can cheerfully commend this house
to old, experiensed buyem < n account of the
large stock they carry, and the advantages
they have for getting and giving inside prices,
yet, we would especially commend them to
parties just starting in business, as they are
thoroughly reliable in every sense of the word,
and always take an interest in the success of
their customers, realizing the fact that their
own interest and that of their customers is one
and the same; therefore, for late styles and
low prices, large stock, and honorable (Teat'

AMERICAN WATCH CO,
Walt ham, Wtivx,
This case Is formed in one so'.:d piece with
out joint or seam, openiug in Front only, thus
avoiding the u ual cap, aud securing greater
strength and durability.
These Watches arc all open face. The bean.-!,
into which an extra stvapg crystal is Silted with
au especially prepared water-prool cement, is
attached to the case by screwing it thoruoii,
and thus forms an airdisbt Junction wffh the
body of tj;c w.i-0, which Is proof against dust
and moisture.
To railroad men, travelers, miners, lumber
men and others who are almost constantly ex-,
po edand who have to make freqneqt refc-puces
to Hie watch, these are of tho utmost
laif,Qrtancc.

Story.
'• VALDOSTA.. GEOR<;I\, JU>Y <JO, ISB2.
"I sold one of your Patent Dust Proof Cases
about tyyq months ago, and the other day it
panic back to me with the request to make it
wind caMer. On examination I l<uud that the
stem was rusty, and I inquired into the cause
ol it- The gentleman stated to me that he was
starting some saw-logs that had lodged in the
bend of the river, when his chain caught in a
bush and threw his watch into about twelve
ieet ol water, and he was about two hours Slid
ing it. When he got it out it was running and
be thought all right. In about three months
he found that the stun was hard to turn and
sent it to me.
1 can say that the watch is all that the com.
pany claims for it and recommend it to all rail
road and mill men.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
In a SOLID GOLD' "WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
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
James Boss Patent Gold M'ulch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and SOLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of WLID
GOLD is soldered, 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, hacks,
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 ease made under this process. Each
case is accompanied vith a ra/id guarantee
signed by the manufacturers warranting it to
ir ear 20 years. 150,000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.
