BUTLER CITIZEN. JOHN H. ft. W. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as second-classs matter. WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1883. IT is stated that Mr. A. Burnett, late of Hilliards, this county, lately sold 1,500 acres of coal land to an Oil City Company for $25,000. IN the Court at Kittanning last week, a case in which E. S. Golden, Esq., against estate of the late James E. Brown, Esq , deceased, for pro fessional services, was tried and a verdict given plaintiff for $30,000. AN exchange advises the publication of the names of those persons living out of the county, or out of the State, who neglect or refuse to respond to bills sent them for subscription due for years. This may be the remedy pub lishers may have to resort to in such cases. THE Postmaster General has issued an order declaring that any Postmas ter who fails to notify the editor of a newspaper that a subscriber has re moved, or fails to take the paper ad dressed to him from his office, shall be held responsible for the amount of the subscription thus due. THE "Authors' Review and Scrap Book," published by I. W. Fitch & Co., Pittsburgh, is an interesting and instructive monthly. It would be a pleasant work in any family, and is published for the low sum of 60 cents per year, of 10 months. Clubs of 10, 60 cents, and sample copies 6 cents. THE Pittsburgh Dispatch gave all its numerous readers here an agreeable surprise last week, on its appearing in such a new array of dress. The im provement in the Dispatch is very marked and its owners and friends have cause for congratulation. Their en terprise is bound to bring still further success. APPORTIONMENT bills still drag along in the Legislature. Senator Stewart, we see, comes to the rescue with a compromise bill, on Congressional dis tricts, that may meet with the approval of a majority of each House. It joins Butler county with those of Armstrong and Indiana for a district. This is the same as some former bills, and while never very popular here with either party, yet it is far more "compact and contiguous territory," than the propos ed saddle-bag's arrangement with Washington county. Whether any bill as to districts for Congress will pass is yet doubtful. As to Judicial districts, we still think a bill will pass and that our county will be a separate judicial district, as she clearly is entitl ed to be. A bill arranging the Senate and Assembly districts will also likely get through. Prof. Slack's Lecture. The lecture of Prof. W. H. Slack, of Allegheny city, in the Court House here last Thursday evening, was some thing rare, because it was something new, out of the beaten path of lectures generally. His subject, "Travel Talks," from a trip to Europe, was so plainly treated as. to make it quite in teresting and amusiDg to all. He made no claims to lecturing ability, but for vocal music, singing, he is justly famous. He interspersed his "Travel Talks" with several songs, which were highly enjoyed by his audience. The Germania Orchestra and Band, under whose auspices he came, were present and rendered some of their best music. Our citizens are under many obligations to the Germania for the many treats it has now given. Miss Bella Lowry presided at the piano during the lecture The lecturer wa3 introduced by the Rev. Homer Smith. The Primary Law. For the benefit of our Republican friends of this county we republish the law passed in 1881 for the better gov ernment of primary elections. It will be seen in another place, and to all at tending the coming primary of June 2 it will be of use. The oaths required to be taken by the persons holding a primary will be found in the body of the law. The voters when assembled simply designate a judge and two in spectors and the act points out the manner the oaths should be administer ed to the same before acting. We see nothing in the act preventing the two inspectors from performing also the duties of clerks. Three persons are generally enough to hold any primary. As to the judge, a reform in our pres ent county rules would be to require the going out County Committee man to act as the judge for that election. Thi9 would cause him generally to be on the ground and open up the election. A good practice would be for him to be on band early and serve if needed. Legislature. A bill fixing the weight of a bushel of potatoes at 60 pounds has passed both Houses. The Senate passed a bill requiring the Supreme Court to file opinions in cases where the lower Court is affirm ed. The Senate also passed a bill for establishing wills during the life of the testator. The free pipe bill passed second reading in the House. The bill taxing oil has passed in the House, but will not likely become a law this session. Tho Prohibitory Constitutional Amendment bill of the Senate is now in the House, where action must be taken ou it. The free pas 3 bill hangs in the House, and tho bill requiring railroads in this county to fence their tracks hangs in the Senate. Both. Houses have agreed to ad journ on June 6th. THE WIDOWS COW. GREAT SPEECH OF SENATOR GREER ON THE u COW QUESTION." His Opinion About Fences and the Fence Law. When the bill relative to the fence laws of this State was under discussion in our State Senate we fiud the follow ! ing among the proceedings : From the Harrisburg Legislative Record. "Senator Wallace--The policy of the State has also been to permit the agri cultural laborer, the miner and the poor : man to have his cow run at large. The fence was to keep his cow out. If the fence was not in condition to turn the animal, under this statute the man commiting a trespass upon the cattle by injuring them had to pay damages, l am not ready to change that policy. I believe in letting the poor man's and the widow's cow run at large. Senator Greer—So far as the running at large of cows is concerned, it is not to the advantage of the owners. I know there is one man in my neighbor hood that keeps eleven cows running at large, and I do not believe the whole eleven cows will give one bucket ful of milk any one day of the year, and there is one old cow there that can stand on the other side of the street and open my front gate, her horns have got so long, and it is the hardest thing in the world to milk her. A cow that runs at large in Penn sylvania has very poor feed; and the first thing she learns is how to open gates, and the next thing she learns ia how to climb over a fence and get into a corn field and stay there. \ou may let down the bars and try to drive her out with two or three Newfoundland dogs and you cannot do it. She is apparently blind to the open place in the fence and goes in the other direction every time, and if you have good corn or a nice garden, that cow will be into it. If you keep a cow regularly in good pasture she will not jump a fence three feet high; but if you get one of these widows' or miners' cows, who knows what it is to "root, hog, or die," and turn her out to grass where there is no grass, turn her out to pasture where there is no pasture, and turn her out to trespass upon other people's rights and other people's gardens and other people's corn-fields, and you will find a cow that is not worth driving home, with horns like my arms, as long at least, though perhaps not quite so thick; and the very cow that will jump any fence in the country, that is not worth driving home in the evening, and that is not worth milking, and in stead of those children, poor widow's children, getting milk and cream and butter from that cow, all those children get is a little exercise, hunting that cow in the evening. It requires 640 rods of fence to en close an ordinary farm of 160 acres of land—more than two miles of fence, and you cannot build a board fence for less thrn $2 a rod. That will come to SI2BO that the farmer must take out of his pocket to build an outside fence around his farm. Why? To keep out some widow's cow. It seems to me the farmer could better afford to furnish the widow with cream and but ter all the year round, and save money by it every year. Why, the interest on tbis money, Mr. President, tyill come to $75 a year. He might buy the widow's cow, furnish the widow with cream, and give the widow milk and butter every Saturday, and both the widow and the farmer be a good deal better off." The above is the greatest effort our Senator has yet made. It was in fact the "greatest effort of his life." His constituents here at home are perfectly delighted with it; and they rejoice that a question finally arose in the ! Senate that enabled him to display those vast but hidden powers of intel lect that he is known to possess. To grapple with a great question requires a great mind and great statesmanship. But the theme was grand ; no less a one than that of "cows running at largo." Our Senator proved himself equal to the occasion, and the widows' cows went flying in every direction. What just the widows ami the poor man, owning a cow, may tbink of this war upon the poor privilege of their running at largo, is another question- Our Senator appears to huvo an an tipathy to the cow. They seem to have been aunoying him ; opening his gate from across the street, etc. Then, there is a "man in his neighborhood that keeps eleven cows running at large that do not give one bucketful of milk any one day of the year." This should be looked into and that man brought to public account. Tho Senator seems familiar with the cows of his neighbor hood—says one is "hard to milk." How did he come to know that fact ? Being raised among cows, and familiar with them, we can only account for his hostility to them on the supposition, that at some time in his life he may have been mistaken by some cow for a green think—a pumpkin perhaps. But we cannot do justice to this sub ject. Let all read this great speech of Senator Greer's. It glistens with bright thoughts, has rare elegance of diction, clothed in fact in the purest English. On reading it, Virgil's Bucolics are recalled, in which the lowing of the herds in those pastoral poems is so well described, but all sadly out of harmony with this present onslaught on the "poor widows' cow." Call for Republican Primary Election and County Con vention. In obedience to above the Republi cans of Butler county are requested to meet at the regular place of holding the elections in each borough and town ship on the first- Saturday, (2d) of June, to select oue candidate for dis trict Attorney and .one candidate for County Surveyor; also two delegates to the State Convention; also one per son for return judge from each voting precinct, the same to meet at the Court House the following Monday \ (4th) to count the vote and tranMOt j any other business that may come be-! fore them.

Mrs. Charlotte Coventry, wife of Mr. Charles Coventry, of Slipperyrock township, this county, has tQ the CITIZEN office, through Mrs. Alvey Hoge of this place, an account of the following family relics she has in her possession: She has an infant's dregs made in England one hundred and some years ago Mrs. Coventry wore this dress herself when a child. She js now 79 years of age. A small piece from tiie sfcjrt of this dress shows that it is wasting iiue i» afcadoy. Also a quilt patch which wab by Mrs. Wigton, the victim of Samuel Mohawk. _ . Also a Biblo oqe hundred and sixty years old, the dato upon it showing it to have been printed that long ago. Bald Ridge—3l Derricks Up. There are now 31 derricks standing in the Bald district. They ex tend from the Phillips venture, (B. I. Agnew, Esq , of New Oaitla, Agent) ou the Wallace farm, a mile up iuo crpelf towards Butler from Ren frew, to the new U'elJ at the mouth of Powder Mill Run, on the Piorsol farm, a mile down the creek from Renfrew. These two points are near two miles apart. The Wailjjce farm, in a direct line, is not more than foti? miles from But ler. The well No. 2 on this farm is one of the best in the district. And i£ looks just as probable now that future good territory would be found up the Connoquenessing, and up Tborncreefc, as in any other direction from Ren frew. The Wallace farm lays all this side of Thorncreek.that empties into the Connoquenessing about a mile above Renfrew. Of the wella producing, the Forest Oil Company have b a oil pnp drilling, No. 2, on the Kaltenbach iarru. The daily production of these averagejabout 165 barrels. The Butler (Bald Ridge) Company have 5 jyells j 4 drilling, of which Hare in the saud, * new derricks up at which drilling is aboijl to commence. The present production is about 100 barrels daily. The remainder of the wells embrace those of the Phillips Bros'. Sheide m&ntle'a and Smick's. The well at the mouth of Powder M'll Run, which, at present writing, promisee tp J?e one of the best, belongs to the company izz: resented by the Phillips Bros. It is lu the stray sand which is said to be of a very good grade. Persona], —W. S. Purviance, Esq., of Pitts burgh, Dr. A. W. Crawford, of Alle gheny twp., and I*.
