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."

Old Relics.
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.
