BUTLER CITIZEN
JOHN H.I W. C. NE6LEY, PHOP'RS.
Entered at the Postoflice at Butler us
second-classs matter.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25,^83.
24th of April and snowing.
THE Butler Presbytery of the Pres
byterian church is now in session at
this place.
NATURAL gas, from the well on the
McJankin farm was introduced here in
lieu of coal gas on Monday evening
last.
SNOW, "beautiful snow," two
inches deep, covered the entire earth
here yesterday, Tuesday, morning.
Ice had also formed upon water half an
inch thick.
THEODORE TILTON is to lecture in
the Court House this, Wednesday
evening. He is one of the first
scholars of our country, and will no
doubt have a large audience.
A NEW time schedule for the govern
ment and information of employees
only, on the Shenango and Allegheny
Railroad connecting link, now being
constructed through this county, went
into operation on April lGth inst. It
can be seen at this office if desired.
A great many of our citizens who
gave credit to Mackin, the contractor
for making the Pittsburgh and
Western railroad at this point, are
short of their bills against said Mackin.
He went away leaving many bills un
paid, including some coming to poor
and needy laborers.
MR. ZIEOLER'S votes on the Prohib
itory Amendment much astonish
some of his friends here. He had said
to several and on several occasions, be
fore the election last fall, that in the
Legislature he would support the
.Amendment, to leave the question to a
vote of the people whether the further
manufacture and sale of liquors in this
State should lie prohibited or not.
His votes seem to be different from
that, and hence the surprise of some
here.
TOE firm of Mr. James Marshall &
Co., iron founders of Pittsburgh, made
an assignment last week for the benefit
of creditors. The firm v/as doing a
large business and the failure was
quite unexpected. It came from spec
ulation in pig iron, a very large quan
tity of which bad been bought for some
years past ana was held on hand in the
hopes of an advance in its price. The
failure is only another proof that busi
ness men should confine themselves to
their business and let speculation alone.
The two seldom go well together. Mr.
Marshall is a relative to the Marshalls
of the lower end of this county and of
this place who regret to learn of his
mi sfortune.
ON Saturday the 21at inst., the edi
tors of Mercer and Crawford counties
met at Greenville for the purpose of
forming an Editors' Association, which
they succeeded»in doing. During their
stay in Greenville, Supt. Blair haviDg
placed at their disposal the two new
coaches recently purchased for the S.
<FC A. road, the editors, together with
their lady and gentlemen friends, about
seventy couples in all, made au excur
sion to Coalville, Butler county. After
spending a short time in sight-seeing
in that busy place, they returned to
Greenville, wondering greatly at the
size of Butler county's coal trade and
reporting a very pleasant time as the
result of Supt. Blair's hospitable act.
Poor Houses.
There is a bill before the Senate at
Harrisburg that we think would, to a
very large extent, meet all the necessi
ties of the question as to the poor of
our county. It simply provides that
where the people of a county are op
posed to the erection of a county poor
house, or where the Commissioners of
the county for any reason fail to erect
one under the present law, that in that
case any toionship or borough may pro
ceed to erect one for itself. This is the
view that we have long taken of this
question. We have always thought that
each township or town of our county
had better have its own certain and
sufficient place to properly keep its
poor. And we have always dreaded
a county poor house, from the reports
we have heard of their improper and ex
travagant management. By the town
ship system no one township need pay
or contribute to the support of the poor
of other districts. This it seems to us
is right, for the reason that one district
may have but few poor and another from
some cause or other may have a great
many, thus making the support un
equal and unfair.
We notice our Senator, Mr. Greer,
favors the bill referred to, and in this
we think he is right, and hope it may
be passed, as it will fill the want re
quired in this county, where we believe
there is no prospect of a county poor
house being erected, even if the same
was desirable or desired by a majority
of our people.
ItI?U€IIES, ItIIGUIES.
llaviug over 40 years' experience in
the manufacture of Buggies, Ruck
wagons, &c , we now offer to our cus
tomers Styles and Prices that cannot
be duplicated by unv foreign factory in
tho United States. Knowing that
some prefer cheap top buggies we can
furnish tho same to them at a lower
price than if bought by the car load.
Don't fail to call on us and compare
our prices with other agents before buy
ing. All work warranted.
G. C. ROBSSINQ & SON.
KILLED.
The bill in the Legislature at Har
risburg, providing for a vote by the
people, whether the further sale and
manufacture of iutoxicating drinks in
the State should be prohibited or not,
was virtually killed in the Ilouse for
this session last week. And it was
not killed by a fair, square, vote upon
its merits, but just as it was two years
ago in the Senate. Its opponents now
succeeded in breaking it down with
the same "rider" they did then. This
rider was the compensation clause in
serted in the bill, which provided that
all persons dealing in liquors should be
paid for their property in case the peo
ple ratified the bill. Such a clause
was fastened upon it by its foes, and
its friends, rather than to submit it to
the people in that shape, joined in and
voted against it. The mere idea of
paying for the property of all engaged
in that business is so absurd that it is
no wonder the friends of the bill took
the course they did. That a gigantic
evil must be paid for before the people
can destroy it is a new doctrine. By
this kind of argument, the greater the
evil and wrong doing that may exist in
the land, the greater 'would be the
amount the people must, pay to get
themselves rid of them We think the
question has merely been postponed
and that the people will yet be heard.
The Judicial District Business.
According to the Beaver Falls Tri
bune tbe people of Beaver county are
very averse to being placed in a judicial
district with Lawrence county. The
last census gave them 39,635 popula
tion, and they propose taking the census
of Beaver Falls again to show that
they have over 40,000 and are conse
quently entitled to a separate district.
The Legislature, one day last week
agreed to erect Lawrence into a sepa
rate district, but tbe next day backed
down. The alleged reason is that the
Governor would veto the bill. It
would seem that this county, though
most probably having a population of
over 40,000, is to be still attached to
some other for judicial purposes. There
is no economy in it, for the salary of
the Associate Judges necessitated by
it, with adjuncts of traveling expenses,
etc., amounts to more than the salary
of a separate judge for the county.
With Butler and Beaver both trying to
kick us off, that they may manage their
own judicial affairs in their own way.
it would seem that we should be allow
ed a judge, and that without any hesi
tation. Representative Morrison is
active for it, but it is doubtful whether
he can carry a Democratic House in tbe
face of a threatened veto by a Demo
cratic Governor. The next best thing
is to be united with Beaver county.
The means ot intercommunication show
that — New Castle C'ourant, April '2O.
THE above from tbe New Castle
Courant expresses truly we presume
tbe UDpleasant situation our neighbor
Lawrence county is in respecting tbe
judicial redisricting. The relations of
the people of our county, and of our
Judges, with the people and the Bar of
Lawrence county, have .always been
pleasant. But the reason why we now
insist upon being a separate judicial
district is because we have the full and
clear Constitutional population required
for a separate district. To this also
should be added the fact that the large
legal business of our county justify it
in being a separate district. Neither
Lawrence or Beaver county ba3 the
population required by Constitution,
according to the late census, the only
guide in the matter. They should be
put together for that reason if for no
other. If they are not, or if either of
them are made a separate district, the
Governor would be compelled to veto
such a bill, for the same reason that
Gov. Ilovt was compelled to veto tbe
bill of two years ago. We do not
know, and cannot understand, why
Beaver county is averse to being placed
in a judicial district with Lawrence.
The means of communication between
them, as the Courant sava, U conve
nient and short. While all outside
would like to see each or either of them
made a separate judicial district yet the
fundamental law is clearly against so
doing and there is no way left but to
join them in one district.
Pay of County Officers.
There has been introduced in the
Legislature a bill entitled "An Act
fixing the salaries of county officers iu
counties containing over forty thousand
and less than sixty thousand inhabi
tants and requiring the payment of the
fees of such officers into the respective
county treasuries."
The object of the bill is made plain
bv its title and the several sections
provide for the manner of carrying the
measure into effect. All fees of what
soever kind must be paid into the
county treasury, under oath, by the
officer and the officer is allowed a suffi
cient sum for the payment of clerk hire.
The scale of salaries is as follows:
Of tbe District Attorney, $1,500 ;
Sheriff, $3,000; Protfconotary, $2,000;
Clerk of Orphan's Court, $1,000; Clerk
of the Quarter Sessions and Oyer and
Terminer, $1,000; Register, $1,500;
Recorder of Deeds, $l,50l); Treasurer,
$2,000; County Surveyor, $100;
County Commissioner, $800; County
Auditor, $l5O ; County Solicitor, $250;
Prison Keeper or Jailor, $700: Coroner,
SIOO. Where the office of Clerk of the
Orphan's Court, Clerk of the Quarter
Sessions and Recorder of Deeds are
held by tbe same person?, such officer
shall receive a salary of $2,000.
Section 13 and I t provide that the
salaries fixed and provided by the fore
going section shall be in lieu of ail or
anv moneys, fees, perquisites or mile
age expenses, and other allowances,
which arc now, or may hereafter, be
received by or allowed to any officer
named in this act; and all said moneys,
fees, mileage perquisites, received by
any of them ai compensation fees or
perquisites from any source whatever,
shall in all cases belong to the county
and ehall be paid into the treasury,
(except where required to be paid to
the State) as provided in this act.
The county solicitor, couuty jailor or
prison keeper, county commissioners,
county auditors, county controller,
county surveyor and the county treas
urer, shall be paid the full amount al
lowed to them by this bill; but all
fees and emoluments whatsoever that
may accrue to either of them, by virtue
of their respective offices, shall be paid
bv them to the county treasurer as di
rected by this act, and all other officers
shall be paid the amount herein assign
ed them only when the net receipts of
their respective offices shall reach the
amount herein respectively fixed for
them.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Bruin Items.
BRCIN, BUTLER Co., PA, April 23.
EDITORS CITIZEN: —I really think
that we do not appreciate the value of
correspondence in our county papers as
we should. Notes on farm and farm
work from different townships, also our
ideas on important matters of political
and social reform, phases of common
weal, should be given our editors that
they may become better acquainted
and public men know the desires of the
people better. Then it is that the
newspaper becomes of so much benefit
and help in having matters properly
adjusted. Some few seem to know
tjiis and have sent in their mite, that
was not devoid of interest, although
they may have felt it was but poorly
done, yet we hope they will continue,
for it is by perseverance in well doing
that we improve.
The course of the CITIZEN in regard
to some important measures of reform
has been highly appreciated by the
citizens of Parker township and wo
deem it but just to let you know it.
Push fearlessly ahead with the advo
cacy of the right and the people will
sustain you, and if you go awry we
will tell you of that too. We deem
that your criticisms of officials is but
justice to the general public and if the
acts of our officers cause them shame,
how can they expect the people to look
favorably on them.
Our town is very quiet and interest
ing news scarce, but we see notices
stuck up by the P. & W. Railroad that
the name of the station here, on and
after May Ist, will be Bruin—the same
as the post office. That is as it should
be and our people will gladly welcome
the change. Thanks to the management
of the railroad. It was long wanted,—
the change—and procrastination of the
people caused the delay so long. All
hail "Bruin."
Mr. T. G. Crocker departed this life

Slander and Backbiting.
For the CITIZEN.
Mark ! where we uususpectin:,' trwid,
No evil meditate or evil dread ;
The base assassins from their covert start,
And sheath the dagger in our bleeding heart;
Or shoot their arrows, strung by hate, uoslack,
With deadly aim at our defenceless back.
So smites the slanderer, with poisoned tongue
Upon their neighbor—who has done 110 wrong.
Thief-like they steal what gold cannot replace,
And like a coward, dare not show their luce.
This emblem sets forth the sin of
slander and backbiting, which is, of all
things whatsoever, the most abomina
ble and to be detested. The slanderers
contain within themselves almost all
the vices of other transgressors They
are for the most part liard of the very
worst class. Whether they foFge the
calumny themselves, or retail that of
others, it matters not, they are still a
liar in the sight of God aad man. Not
only so; the slanderer is also a thief—
a robber of the first magnitude, for
"lie who steals my purso, tr&sll.
Is»t he who filches (row me my good nami-,
Hobs we of that which not enriches him,
Anil makes me poor indeed.''
Look again at the brow of the slanderer,
and vou will see another title of infamy
that of JCWard- They dare not say
to your face what tiiey oQ frppjy utter
behind your back. Thus they bite
tue back. They resemble a snappish
dog—of toil ssej) in the streets, running
after passengers and kiting their heels.
Furthermore, the slanderer is iu the
sight of God a murderer. They must
necessarily bate the person slandered ;
but "lie who batetb hi* brother is a
murderer." Injury is added to hatred,
which renders the case worse. Repu
tation is more precious than life. Thus
the man or woman who makes or vends
a slander, must be kuowu and read
of all men as a liar, cowurd, thief and
murderer. Tho slaverer's tongue is a
four-edged sword. It wounds the hand
of them who use it; it wounds the
ears of those who listen to it; it wounds
the hearts of them who aro the object
of the thrust; it strikes at the throne of
God, and breaks his law. Who shall
dwell in thy holy hill? (> Lord, he
that baikbitetb not with his tongue.
Slander and baukbilicg, envy, hatred,
and malice are sometimes united iu
one person, and forming a being of ex
traordinary malignity,. There are
many gueh in human shape—demons
wearing the mask of lonian form, be
ings whose eyes aro painod at the sight
of either excellence or happiness, whose
hearts are corroded with the poison of
envious and malicious thoughts. Self
tormenied with the t horns of their own
\yho never smile but
at the tears of others, whc.ss
joy consists in the wreck of human
happiness, and whose only music is the
voice of lamentation and woe—-beings
of Satanic inspiration. They are al
ways well furnished with slaucjers and
never want for opportunity to veqt
them. In this thev copy ufter their

Dogs and Sheep.
There is a bill before the Legislature
providing for the taxiDg of dogs for the
better protection of sheep. The bill was
introduced by a member from Alle
gheny county and seems to have been
carfully prepared, in order to meet all
the present demands for the protection
of sheep from dogs.
When the bill came up last week
both our members, Messrs. Donlv and
Ziegler, bad something to say, Mr.
Donly takiug the right side, that for
the sheep, and Mr. Ziegler, we regret
to say, taking the wrong side and go
ing with the dogs. The following are
their remarks on the bill as we find the
same iu the Legislative Record:
Mr. Donly. lam heartily in favor
of this bill. I think we ought to do
something to curtail [laughter] this
sheep ki'ling by dogs. The members
of the House seem to regard this bill as
of little importance; but for my part I
shall do all I can for it. It seems as
though many men, especially poor men,
consider that the more dogs they have
the better off they are. 1 was unfor
tunate enough to be bitten by one
when I was off electioneering, [laugh
ter]. Another thing, and I say this
in all earnestness, we ought to do
something to protect the sheep in our
State.
There is no such law in this Com
monwealth at the present time that I
know of. If these curs are not taxed
the result will be that the farmers will
have a great many sheep killed by
them. This is a matter that ought to
be seriously considered by this Legis
lature. It seems to be the occasion of
some levity; but I heartily concur with
my friend from Allegheny [Mr. Xes
bit] in his efforts to get this bill
through the House, and I for one, will
support it. I have not read it careful
ly, but I will vote for anything ihat is
against dogs; I don't care what it is.
[laughter.]
Mr. Bierer. Did I understand the
gentleman to say that he was bitten by
a dog when he was off electioneering?
Mr. Douly. Yes.
Mr. Bierer. Did the dog die?
[laughter.]
Mr. Donly. I hope so. [laughter.]
Mr. Ziegler, I wish to ask the gen
tleman from Washington, [Mr. Van
kirk] one question and it is this: Why
should you pass a bill to tax dogs for
protection of sheep, when you arc not
taxed for sheep at all.
Mr. Vaukirk. At a time in the ear
ly history of wool growing in this
country and in this State, it was deem
ed advisable, on the part of the Legis
lature, to encourage and foster that in
dustry, in order that it might be able
to stand alone aud become aa import
ant industry in this Commonwealth.
There was competition and when sheep
were first introduced into Pennsyl
vania, fhey deemed in best, in order to
encourage that interest of wool grow
ing, not to put any tax upon that
species of property, because, if they had
taxed it then, as other property was
taxed, tbey would have killed that in
dustry in its infancy, and it never
would have reached the prominence
that it enjoys at the present time.
Mr. Ziegler. Up in my county we
refused to accept the Jaw; and for the
simplest reason in the world. We
know that it is local option, and that
question has been submitted to our peo
ple twice, the adoption of the law for
the protection of sheep. There is
scarcely a farmer there but has a few
sheep; nearly all of them have some,
but there are some persons in that
county that have a large number of
sheep and yet do not pay one dollar of
tax; their sheep are farmed outj aud
our people say, unless their sheep are
taxed along with the dogs, they will
not accept the law. They say let this
sheep property pay its proportion of
the tax into the county treasury, and
the!} we will tax the dogs to protect
them.
A New Railroad Clocsk.
Peter Long, a gentleman of this
place, has patented a railroad signal
iipje cjock which indicates the inter
vening time between trains. Jt is to
be mounted similar to tLo danger iig.
nals and the engineer can readily tell
by glancing at the dial how much
time has elapsed since the preceding
train has passed that point. The clock
is made to run regular and show the
hour, just like an ordinary time-piece,
but an ingenious device ponnepting
the rail and clock-work throws the
minute-hand back to I*2 when a train
passes by thp signal. Then the min
ute-haml moves on around untij the
ne*t train comes along, when it dropa
back to I*2 again. Should any train
not be followed by another for an hour
or a iougo? period, then the minute
hand will pause at 55 miuutes ami re
main there until a passing train throws
it back to 12, when it starts on as be
fore. The purpose of having the hands
stop at 55 minutes i 3 to show that at
Ipast ttjat much time has elapsed since
a train has gone by, which is'
to indicate a clear track.— Qreenxburg

Death of the Prohibition Amend
ment Bill.
From Pittsburgh Dispatch.]
HARRISBURG, April 20. —The bill
to amend the Constitution by prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of intoxi
cating drinks was killed and buried by
the House to-day. About three full
sessions had been spent in speeches on
it. Home, Democrat, of Cambria, a
local Methodist preacher, invoked
heaven to defeat the bill and inspire
man with sufficient grace and power ,
of moral suasion to snatch bis erring j
brother front thebriuk of the precipice j
of intemperance. Members moved !
chairs away to give Home plenty of j
room to dart around and gesticulate
during his long but striking speech.
Brown, Republican, of Erie, said
that he would not say that Home was
c. hypocrite, because that would be un
parliamentary; but he was free to ex
press the belief that few Methodist
preachers outside of the infernal regions
would speak as Home did. Dearden,
Republican, of Philadelphia, wanted
the bill amended so as to allow the
people to cast separate votes on the
question of prohibition and the rider to
compensate manufacturers and dealers
for losses. Sponsler, Republican, said
this could not be done without recon
sideration of yesterday's vote, by
which the House refused to strike off
the ride.
A REPUBLICAN STRAW.
Xo effort to reconsider was made.
Niles threw out a straw which indicat
ed how a good deal of Republican
wind would blow when he declared
that, a3 the effort to strike off the rider
had failed, he would vote against the
whole thing. Emery, Republican of
Lawrence, father of the bill, quoted
from John Wesley to show that Home
was not a true follower of the founder
of Methodism. Emery declared that
Protestants and Catholics had petition
ed for prohibition, and he had a letter
from Cardinal McClosky endorsing the
prohibition movement. Iu conclusion
he called upon all friends of the cause
to vote against the bill with the rider.
Glenn, Republican, Armstrong, second
ed by Landis, Republican, of Lancas
ter, moved to postpone the bill for the
present, but the motion failed.
THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
A vote on the ffrst section of the
bill, which was now taken, resulted in
its defeat by a vote of 151 to 27.
Then, in order to give the entire bill
its death-blow, Crawford, Democrat, of
Philadelphia, seconded by his fellow
townsman and Democrat, Mackin,
moved to reconsider the vote by which
the first section was defeated. Only a
bare majority of votes was necessary
to prevent reconsideration. Crawford
was certain of getting this majority,
and did not want to risk putting the
entire bill to a vote, as a majority
would be sufficient to pass it on second
reading. Had it gone to third reading
its friends might have hoped for some
thing to turn up iu their fa»or which
would give them the 101 votes requir
ed ou final passage. Crawford took
care to explain his purpose to the
House, and said he hoped his own mo
tion would be voted down. So it was
by a vote of 74 yeas and 100 nays.
This was the first vote that clearly
drew the line between the friends and
opponents of prohibition, and was as
follows:
Yeas—Republicans 53 and Demo
crats 21; nays, Republicans i>o, Demo
crats 70. A mug the Republicans
who vote yea was Mr. Donly one of
our Representatives. Mr. Ziegler,
our other member seems not to have
voted
Altogether 53 Republicans i»nd 21
Democrats voted yea, and 30 Republi
cans and 70 Democrats voted nay
of Towns,
We see it stated that the Govern
ment at Washington, through the Post
Office Department, has requested that
the names of all towns should be chang
ed to the name of the post office in
safne. This is supposed to be at the
of thp railroatjs of the country
and for the convenience of travelers on
the same, who often are confused when
traveling from the fact that a station
may iu some cases bear the name of a
town and in some cases the name of the
past ofTJce at tj?p saiijp.
The above, if carried out, will in
this county, change Martiusburg to
Bruin; Fairview to Baldwin; Millers
town to Baruharts Mills; Delano to
Denny; Sunbury to Coultersville ;
Uuionville to McCandless; North
W athingtou to North Hope; Renfrew
to Jiald Ridjye, and perhaps some
others. Soipe stations along the Pitts
burgh and Western road we believe
have already been changed.

aro never imitated or counterfeited.
This esjietiallj true of a faoiily med
icine, ai.d is positive proaf that the
remedy iyritah d is of the big-best
value. As poon as it bad been tested
and proved by the whole world that
Hop Bitten* was the purest, best and
most valuable family on earth, many
invitations have sprung up and began
to steal the notices in which the press
and people of the country had express
ed the merits of 11. 13., and in every
way trying to induce suffering invalids
to use their stuff instead, expecting to
make money on the credit and good
name of 11. B. Many others started
nostrums put up in similar style to 11.
8., with various devised names in
which the word "Hop" or Hops were
Uritd ia a \say to induced people to be
lieve they were the same as llop Bit
!ers. All such pretended remedies or
cures, on matter what their style or
name is, and especially those with the
word ' Hop" or "Hops" in their name
or any way connected with them or
their name, are imitations or counter
feits. Beware of them. Touch none
of them. Use nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster
of green Hops on thp white label.
Tru&t nothing else. Druggists and
dealers are warned agaiust dealing iu
imitations or counterfeits.
