—Washington county claims that during the
census year 1880, there were owned in that
| county 461,120 head of sheep, exclusive of
) spring lambs, and that they yielded 2,416,865
i pounia of wool. These figures are fa r aLt-ad of
• any other county of the United States and con
i statutes one-fourth of the sheep and wool return
ed for the whole State of Pennsylvania. This
county also has more sheep and produces more
wool than any one of the twenty-four Slates
and Territories of the Union.
—The Pittsburgh Gazette says that a pair of
pants, a vest and a hat, all liberally daubed
/ with paint, were found on one of the Sixth
0 street bridge piers last Sunday morning. A
" slip of paper was found pinned to the vest
ments bearing a name and the address of a
Butler county man. The fact that some person
desired to"mysteriously disappear" was so plain
ly evident that no attention was paid to the
• matter. The would-be-reported suicide is prob
t bly awaiting the announcement of his death in
a Svtt,»e shady retreat at the present time.
e
>, —The House Committee on Vice and Im
s morality made an unfavorable report on the
bill to repeal the act 1881 making it a mis
demeanor, punishable by fine and imprison
ment, for any minor to represent himself to be
ofage for the purpose of getting intoxicating
r drinks. At first sight this provision seems to
be unobjectionable if not commendable. But
Q as a matter of fact it has proved an iniquitous
• device which may be and has l>een used by
'• liquor sellers to escape the penalties prescribed
against themselves. When charged by the
f*fent or guardjaq with »t>Uiug liquor to a
minor the seller finds it easy to threaten«the
minor with prosecution under the act of 1881
for lying about his age ; and this blackmailing
scheme may be practised even when the only
II violator of the liquor law is the saloon keeper
7 himself.

—The case of Sadie Davis, a little daughter
of Samuel Day is, of New Castle, is attracting
considerable attention in medical circles here.
For several years she has beeu in the habit of
, falling iato trances, lasting from 12 to 24 hours* i
during which period she lies iu a comatose
state, to all appearances dead, with the excep
tion of very faint breathing. Thursday night
of last week she was taken with one of the ;
' i spells, lying motionless over 65 hours. Her !
state is unaccompanied with fever, and is all in
all a puzzle to the medical fraternity.
—The particulars of the shooting affair at
Coalville have been given to us as follows.
Anderson was on his way from Coalville to
Gomersal with a bottle of whisky in his pocket,
when he was overtaken by Smith and Williams,
who wanted a drink. He would not give it
to them and tried to run away from them, but
they overtook him and jokingly demanded both
1 his whisky and money. Anderson took this in
earnest and laying down some tools he was car
rying, pulled a small pistol out of his pocket
and began firing. One shot struck Williams
in the back and passed around a rib, cutting
the skin but otherwise uot injuring him. The
sentiment of the vicinity is said to be in favor
of Anderson.
—ln another place in this paper will be seen
an account of Klingler*s Flour Mill. This mill
is said to be the only complete roller mill in
this State, and it is a credit to this town and
would be to any other town, and Mr. Klingler
deserves great credit for getting together so
very complete an establishment. He now haj
in his mill fourteen sets of rollers, through
every one of which the wheat berry (or at least
the hull) passes —the flour being dropped on
the way. These with thirteen bolts and five
purifiers—all large pieces of machinery -and
the cleaning, packing and other machinery,
fill the mill completely from basement to attic.
His mill now has a capacity of 200 barrels, or
800 sacks per day of 24 hours. All the flour
that he ships to the Eastern markets is put in
barrels, so that if necessary, it cau be exported-
They won't have flour in sacks there. Kiing
ler's "Sea Foam" flour grades with the very
best there, and there is little, if any better flour
made in the country. There is no flour brought
into Butler at present, that can compare with
the "Sea Foam."
—The ready-made clothing business of this
country has become an immense att'air. Ac
cording to the census of 1880 the manufactures
of men's clothing in this country for that year
amounted to over two hundred millions of dol
' lars, and of this amount the product of New
York city, the great clothing market of the
continent, was nearly one-half. There are
very few people who realize the extent of this
industry or the reduction of prices that has
come from competition in the trade and the
use of improved machinery. It is a curious
fact that although there is a duty of "forty
cents a pound, and in addition thereto thirty
five j>er centum ad valorem" on ready made
clothing, and about the same on woolen cloth
ready made clothing is sold as cheap in this
country as it is in England. We now make as
good cloth in this country as they do in Europe,
and by the uae ef improved machinery can
make clothing as cheaply as they do in Europe
with their cheap labor. In the large factories
in New York the cutting is done by steam, and
the sewing given out to contractors. The
steam cutters cut through several thicknesses
of cloth at the same time and it takes five men
to fold the cloth and mark the top pieces, to
keep one man busy cutting.
New Carbon-Black Works.
Messrs. Lewis, Martin & Co., of
Philadelphia, have purchased the gas
well on the Bredin farm, in Summit
township, with ten acres adjoining and
propose erecting a carbon-black factory
there. The quality of the carbon-black
that is made from natural gas has been
found to be so much superior to that
made by other methods that it is in de
mand everywhere. The finer grade of
this article is of great value in the arts
and brings high prices, and it is said
that nearly the entire product of this
State is exported to Germany. The
natural gas wells of this section are
developing this industry, which will,
some day, be of vast importance. The
carbon-black factory, at Saxon Station,
this county, is the largest in this
country and it is owned by a wealthy
New York company. In this factory
20,000 gas jets are burning day aud
night. The building is about 175 feet
square. From the gas well, a fev.
yards distant, a four-inch pipe extends
to the factory. At the main entrance
it branches off in two directions, and
from these tvt o distributing maiuseight
long pipes, running the entire length of
the building, draw their supply. Along
each of these pipes are small jets, tbin
and very close together. As stated
above, they number fully twenty thou
sand. Over each "bench" on which
the long pipe rests are continuous plates
of sheet iron, and it is against these
that the tiny flames from the myriad of
jets burn. The windows and doors
are always kept tightly closed with
close fitting shutters, so as to prevent
the admission of too much air. The
temperature of the interior must be
sufficiently regulated to avoid perfect
combustion, and thus save the carbon.
Little by little the lamblack forms on
the sheet iron until a small mass not
, larger than a cherry, perhaps, hangs
i over each jet. At regular intervals of
i twenty minutes a small iron "carriage"
i or a sort of scraper is run along each of
, the rows of iron, and the matter thus
collected is emptied into a receptacle in
s another department. Frequently wat
t er is run over the top of the iron to
f keep it cool. The heat of the place is
1 intense and cannot be endured long.
' When this Duely divided carbon is
" removed from the sheet iron it is ready
' for packing. This is the most difficult
1 part of the work. Being such an ex
! tremely light substance it would re
quire but a very small quantity to fill a
barrel if it were thrown ia loosely.
I Ingenious machinery has been invented,
1 however, to obviate this difficulty in a
measure. As it is dropped in by the
panful heavy rollers and stampers run
by a steam engine press it down as
tight as possible, but notwithstanding
all this labor only fifty pounds of lamp
black can be put in an ordinary sized
barrel. The capacity of the factory at
Saxon is 250 pounds per day, or only
five barrels. It is stated thut all the
lampblack manufactured there goes di
* rect to Germany. There it is used for
8 various purposes. It forms the principal
part of coloring matter for paints.
Printers' ink and marking inks are also
' made from it, and it is becoming a de
! sirable article for the polish aud prepar-
I ation of shoe leather.
Besides the lampblack industry, the
r natural gas wells of this section will,
, we think, in the course of time, develop
t or bring to this section other industries
t requiring a large amount of heat and
e light—provided, of course, that the gas
i holds out. The day may come when
? people will drill for gas and be disap
r pointed if they get oil without it.
r The only other gas lampblack fac
tories in the country are those at or
near Warren, this State, and at New
Jl \ Cumberland, W. Ya.

Klingler's Mills.
Having heard so much about Klingler's
Mills, we had not a little curiosity to see it.
i Through the kindness of the proprietor we
were allowed access and made a tour of the
entire establishment, and must sav that the
designation the firm have adapted—"Oriental
I Roller Mills"—is wholely in keeping with the
! construction of the mill. Rolls to the right of
us, rolls to the left of us, rolls in front ol us
not "volleyed and thundered,'' but whirled and
buzzed, filling us with amazement and wonder
at the ingenuity and progress exhibited in the
direction of mill machinerv. It seems strange
to enter a null and tind not even a trace left of
the good old mill-stone, for centuries the crush
er of the grain and manufacturer of the staff of
life. Xot a vestige is left of the mill-stone in
the Oriental Roller Mills, aud we should con
sider it an impossible task to find room for any
now.
We visited this mill about two years ago
when it was first started on the New Process
System, but we find every thing so different
now that we must confess we were, in a meas
ure, lost and bewildered. Throughout the
whole mill new machines have been placed,
making a plant, the equipment of which can not
be excelled anywhere. Bearing upon this, we
cull from the "American Miller," Chicago, the
largest milling journal in the world, that the
Oriental Roller Mills is the only complete rol
ler mills in the State of Pennsylvania; showing
that we need but go away to find out what is
going on here. Still it is not necessary to look
al>out us much to ascertain that this mill is as
serting itself. There was, and is no doubt yet
much prejudice in the minds of our ]>ecple that
a home product is inferior to that which is ship
ped here from other points; and this state of
affairs was occasioned principally because we
had no mill in Butler which kept pace with all
the improvements within its line aud in quali
ty of goods, and, therefore, could not compete
with progressive firms elsewhere. But this is
a matter of the past. The quantity of flour
used at home of Mr. Klingler's output is
simply surprising, and is plainly indicative
that this prejudice is being surely and success
fully eradicated. We understand that one day's
delivery within the limits of the borough ag
gregated the handsome sum of about two hun
dred and twenty fifty pound sacks, including
the delivery to dealers also. In foreign markets,
such as the East, the Oriental Roller Mills has
a reputation of its own. At this writing one
car load of the famous Silver Foam Hungarian
Patent flour ■lfraves our depot for Baltimore, Md.
That our home wheat falls far short of supply
ing the wants of this mill will be news to
many. Last week Mr. Klinglei received three
cars wheat from Toledo, Ohio, alone, which is
only one of the many points from which he
draws his supply. We leave an extended de
scriptionxif Mr. Klingler's mills and business
facilities for some other and better time, but
we cannot refrain from saying a word about the
farmers. It is noticeable, above all, with them
that roller flour is superior to anything else.
Day in and day out they draw their wheat to
Klingler's mills to have it exchanged for flour
and feed. Tins exchange system is a novel ar
rangement and we could not conceive of any
other plan that would please the fanners more.
The wheat is taken into the mill, weighed and
emptied, and the bags refilled with the proper
amount of flour and feed, and at once returned
to the farmer's wagon, thus saving a return
trip and avoiding all delays in waiting, and be
sides givingevery timea uniform, excellent flour
and the correct quantity in accordance with the
weight of the wheat. At first furniers could
not understand this method of converting their
grain into the ground material ; but now. after
repeated trials, have given the best results, it
is generally accepted, which it deserves to be,
as a boon instituted for the farmers' especial
benefit.
THE WAR AT RENFREW.
Battle No. 2—Renfrew and Com
pany Gain a Great Victory.
What is known as the Nixon hotel
in Renfrew was the scene of another
battle between the Renfrews and Pur
viances, last Thursday morning. This
time, however, the Renfrews were as
sisted by Porter Phipps, J. J. Myers,
of the firm of Simcox & Myers, and
others—some twenty men in all, and
the Purviances were utterly routed and
put out of the house baa: and baggage.
To understand the matter it will be
necessary to State that the house itself
was built by Mr. Renfrew some twelve
years ago as a residence for his son
John, that while the railroad was
building Nixon rented it for a hotel
aud that he let the Purviances into it a
day or two before his lease expired, on
the Ist in c t. Renfrew leased the ad
joining property some time ago, to the
Bald Ridge Oil Company, who leased
to Simcox & Myers, and Simcox &
Myers sold their lease lo the Forest
Oil Company, Phillips Bros., Stewart
Bros, and Esq. Porter Phipps—one
fourth each. The purchasers from Sim
cox & Myers havo been holding back
some purchase money now due on ac
count of the dispute regarding the
title and the actual possession by the
Purviances of part of the property,
which accounts for the part Myers
took in the affair.
OQ Thursday morning last, Mr. Ren
frew, his son John, J. J. Myers, Porter
Phipps, Simeon Phipps and some men
in their employ, went to the house.
Renfrew demanded possession and t says
he was answered by Miss "Dot" Pur
viancc from a second story window,
who said, "If you get in here, it will
he over my dead body;" that one set of
men then battered in the front door
and another set the back door, both of
which were well barricaded; that Miss
"Dot" pointed a pistol at the crowd at
the front door, but did not fire; that
both doors were broken open, the two
sets of men met in the hall, Miss
"Dot" came down stairs with a pistol
in her hand, which was taken from
her; that after some little scuttling,
during which some blows were struck,
the men took hold of the Purviancc
men and women, and put them out aud
kept tliem out, and took their house
hold goods out oi the house and over
the bridge ; that the Purviances tried
to get back into the house, but were
prevented from doing so, and that then
"Dot" fainted aud was carried over to
the llichey hotel. In this way Ren
frew regained possession of the proper
ty he has claimed and occupied for
years.
The Purviances' version ot the affair
is Bomewb&t different. They claim
that Miss "Dot" was abused and sdot
for Esq. Irvin, of Butler, who went
down Friday and took their depositions
as follows:
S. S. Purviance ("Dot") versus Por
ter Phipps, J. J. Mjers, Hugh Stra
wick and John Renfrew, for aggravat
ed assault and battery in assaulting,
beating and wounding her.
Same versus Porter Phipps, J. J.
Myers, D. A. Renfrew, John Renfrew,
Hugh Strawick, Ed. Alshouse, Wm.

Fatal Accident on P. & W. R. R.
A mail named William Anderson
was run over and killed by a freight
J train on the P. it W. 11. It., near
; Caller}* Junction, last Thursday eve
j ning. His body, which was terribly
j mangled, was put in the little station
house at Callery. where an inquest,
presided over by Esq. Hutchmau, was
held next day. Anderson was a Scotch
man, aged about 2G years, came to this
section about two years ago and has
been working on the railroad. He has
a brother and sister living in Canada,
Some time ago he received some money
from his sister, and has been drinking
hard since. On the day of the acci
dent he had been up to Evansburg,
where he became intoxicated and was
seen last on the railroad track between
Callery and Myoma that evening, be
ing then probably on his way to Mrs.
Miller's boarding house, near Myoma,
where he boarded.
Beauty.
"It is claimed that New York women look
younger at 50 then Boston women do at 40, or
Chicago women at thirty," for the reason that
they have been taking l'eruna for the last three
mouths, but Boston and Chicago woman are
coming up in tine style—entering upon the
home-stretch on Manalin. I got one of your
books on the "Ills of Life" from your druggist
as a present, and. as it directs, have been tak
ing Pernna aud Manaliu. My bowels are in
excellent condition, and the lungs and heart
are improviug finely."
J. M. WALKER, Lawaa, Pa
"Every Tuesday. 1 '
The public are lead to believe by certain
Railroads that low rate tickets will be sold aud
special trains run to the West "every Tuesday."
This is calculated to deceive parties contempla
ting a trip West, as by the Pennsylvania Rail
road you can go on any day in the week on fast
Express trains and at just as low rates as by
any other route ou Tnenday. It is a well
known fact that the Pensylvania Railroad is
the direct route between the East and the Great
West. Parties contemplating a trip to Kanttu,
Colorado, Xrbraska, Xrw Mexico, Dakota or
any of the Western .States or Territories would
consult their own interest by calling on the
nearest Agent of this Company for Maps,
Time Tables, etc., where they will receive full
information; or by writing to Thos. E. Watt,
Passenger Agent, Western Dist., No. lin Fifth
Avenue, Pittsbnrg.
Busy Time at "Shadeland."
France, Canada, California, Montana and
many other remote points north, south, east
and west have had representatives at "Shade
land" within the past few days, showing most
conclusively that the world at large is thorough
ly appreciating the great Livestock Emporium
of the Powell Brothers of Springboro, Pa.
To the large collections previously on hand
they have just added a magnificent importation
ol over fifty head of choice animals being de
termined to keep their stables at all times
ahead of all others in l>oth size and quality of
collections, in order that they may always be
prepared, as they are now, to suit all who may
visit them desiring choice stock.
Within a few days they have made and are
making shipments to Montana, Kansas, Ne
braska, Wisconsin, lowa, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Canada,
etc., etc. and still the good work goes on.
