BUTLER CITIZEN IO:i* H. IW. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butle7 as second-clcsss matter. WEDNESDAY. MAY 30, 1883. YENNOR predicts a cool June, a very warm July, a mild August, windy September aud a calm October. Wig gins, it is said, predicted the other day that we had been experiencing a cold May. ROSCOECONKT.INU absolutely refuses to walk across the East River Bridge. He has some doubts whether the structure would hold him and has no ambition to break it down.—Philadel phia Press. NONE but deadbeats will stop a paper and cheat tbe printer out of his pay, because he kindly let the time run on. If you don't want it, stop it, but pay for the time you have had it. Don't be a beat— Parker Phcenij-. So say we.— Herald. And so say we. THE gap between New Castle Junc tion and New Castle, of about two miles, has been closed by the exten sion of the P. <fc W. railroad into New Castle. Passengers from this place can now go into that place by rail. J. B. Koiilmeyer k Co, is the firm name of the new drug store in this place, kept in the handsqme new build ing just erected by Dr. Zimmerman, and of which firm he is a partner. It is located on Main street, East side and nearly opposite the Vogeley House. Messrs. Snyder and Marshall, the candidates for the Republican nomina tion for District Attorney, are moving around quite briskly among the voters. This is right, and we hope they may stir up sufficient interest in the primary as to cause a pretty good tarn out on Saturday next. THE Legislature adjourns this day a week. It is said there are near five hundred bills to be acted upon. It is feared many important bills may not get through, including some of the ap portionment bills. Riding around on free passes is one of the principal causes for this state of affairs. GOMERSOLL, the new town on the farm of Esquire John Smith, in Cherry township, is reported as improving rapidly. Some twenty new buildings have recently been erected for the miners, the place promising to be a very lively coal point. A post office, store and other improvements are being arranged for. MR. I. W. FITCH, of Pittsburgh, has been visiting here recently in the inter ests of tbe Indiana, Pa., Normal School. This school is now in a very flourishing condition. The buildings and arrangements arc said to surpass those of any Normal School in the State. Indiana is a very pleasant place and more convenient to Butler county students than any similar school in the State. THE Economites of Beaver county recently sold 12,500 shares of the Pitts burgh and Lake Erie Railroad stock, of a par value of SIOO per share, to Vanderbilt at $175 per share, amount ing to $2,187,500. This purchase gives Vanderbilt the control of the road, which, in connection with his new Southern Pennsylvania road, is to be a link in a trunk line from New York to the west, competing with tbe Pennsylvania Central road. THE well known rule of legal evi dence will aptly apply to the editor of Eagle-, that is, "if false in one thing, false iu all." It is easy to deny, but it cannot be denied that he was un faithful to his party in the only office to which it ever elected him. nis un fairness to a part of tbe Republican county ticket last year need not be de nied now. False charges against others by him will avail nothing while his own record stands as it is. No man is believed by others who lias a bad reputation himself. PROHIBITION was killed finally in the State Senate last week, falling five votes short of enough to carry tbe bill over third reading. Senator Cooper opposed the bill because he thought the people who demanded it didn't know what tbey wauted. Senator Stewart considered the submission of the question to tbe people a popular demand to which the Legislature must bow. When the Senator opposed the bill because he considers it unwise, ad ded Mr. Stewart, lie assumes greater wisdom than the people and says, "I must protect you ugainst your own folly !" ISut that is nothing for a Boss to do.— Greenville Mews. Tho Great Bridge. The account, found upon tho first page of the CITIZEN this week, of the great bridge just completed and span ning the water between the cities of New York and Brooklyn, will be read with interest. The older Roebling, John A., formerly lived and made heavy wire rope at Saxonburg, this county. His son, it will be seen by tbe account, succeeded him as Chief Engineer, and has now completed tbe greatest bridge in the world. Wash ington A. Roebling, the son, was born at Saxonburg this county, May 2P,, 1837. Under his direction tho great bridge, more than a mile in length, has just been finished. Many of our citi zens yet remember his father living at Saxonburg. Although a foreigner by birth, we lind him naming a son after the great Washington, and it is an in«* perishable honor to Butler couuty that this son was boru upon bcr soil. He inherited ull tbe great genius of his lather aud has uow seen completed the greatest structure in the world. Republican Primary. Tbe Republican primary comes off on Saturday next, June 2d. But little interest so far appears to be taken in this election. Tbe office of District Attorney, however, is an important one to tbe people. Through it much ol tbe peace and order, and proper care of the good morals of society, is adminis tered and protected. It should, there fore, always be filled by an honest man and one of good moral character. Delegates to the State Convention are also for the first time to be elected by the party voters at large. This is also important and care should be taken in their selection. Announcements for this position will be seen among the announcements for the other positions. The coming State Convention should' aDd we think will, make its own nomi nations. It is important, therefore, that our county send to it two upright and intelligent delegates who cannot be swerved from duty when they reach Harrisburg. Guards Needed. An accident happened on the track of the P. & W. R. R., near this place last Friday evening which, although causing no lofis of life except to a dumb brute, yet this we think is the reason public attention should be directed to it. The cow of a citizen was caught by a passing train in a deep cut of the road, from which it could not escape, and was killed. Moat of the cars were thrown off the rails and the passengers delayed about two hours. This is but one case that may happen unless the necessary guards or gates are erected by the toad. So far they have not j been erected and dumb brutes can en ter at one entrance to this cut, at the crossing on the plank road, and at the western end of the cut also, and if overtaken must of necessity be killed. It is a mistake to say there is no law to prevent this. Railroad companies are bound to put up guard* and gates at such places. No company, or man or set of men, have the right to build a trap into whicn even dumb ani.-nals may fall. That there was not a loss human life on this occasion was mere chance- That may happen the next time a train is thrown off the track in this way. And our object in calling attention to this matter is that these guards and gates may be attended to as the law provides. It is proper to state that on this present occasion the President of the lailroad company, Mr. Callery, was on the train to which this accident happened and promptly paid the owner of the animal for its loss. The Republican Chart. The pathwav of Republican union and success in Pennsylvania is so plain that no intelligent and sincere Repub lican can mistake it. It is only neces sary to follow this chart:— ]. Obey new party rules and make a popular Convention. These rules require that delegates shall be elected in the same way as Represen tatives and Senators are nominated. They prohibit the old system of pack ing delegates by County Committees, and secure, if respected, a free, un shackled people's Convention. 11. Choose good, strong, represen tative men as delegates. It is vital that they shall be the free choice of the Republican masses; it is also import ant that they shall be men of character and judgment whose very selection will be guarantee of independent and dis creet action for the common welfare. 111. Make no slates but leave the ticket to the Convention. This busi ness of slating everythink in advance has become odiouß. It signifies boss rule and it weighs down even the best of candidates. Let there be a free Convention of high character, let it slate its own ticket by its ballots after it comes together, let it nominate can didates who meet the public require ments. and the work will be more than half done. IV. Make the organization one that will inspire general confidence, The organization is scarcely less important than the ticket—in somo respects more to. It will hold the future action of the party largely in its hands; it will reach into tbe Presidential year and in fluence its destinies; and it should represent the real will of the party as much as tbe ticket. V. Accept the principles of the Continental and Harrisburg ]>latforms in good faith. The ticket and organi zation are the flesh and bones of the campaign—this is the very life-blood. Public places to be treated as public trusts ; no compulsory assessments; no use of patronage for personal politi cal ends ; such are the cardinal princi ples declared last year to be the party creed. Let this chart be the guide, and union aud success will be secured. It contains no new requirements—nothing but what the party solemnly pledged itself to last year. Observe the pledges, and all will be well.—Phila delphia Press. Prof. Leason's Concert. The concert in tbe Court House last Friday evening, given by Prof, Rea son and pupils, was a very interesting occasion. To witness one hundred and twenty young ladies and gentle men arranged in one class, and singing as it were with one voice, in j»erfoct harmony and under tbe most perfect drill, was a rare treat. Mr. Lcason is a master in bis art of teaching singing and well deserves the success he every where is meeting with. The Court House room was crowded on this oc casion. "Snow on the Hill Tops." CINCINNATI, May 22.—Snow on tbe hilltops fell last night, and lay on the roofs and trees, to the depth of one or two inches. Many branches of trees were broken down. The snow was still visible this morning, but was about all gono by 10 o'clock, leaving no sign of blight on leaven or fruit. Tbe temperature has risen to 44 de gree?, but is stili cloudy. Barnum's show, billed for yesterday, to-day and to-morrow, was compelled to abandon the engagement on account of the water on their grounds. Death of One Whose Benevolent Face is Known all Over the Country. LYNN, MASS., May 18.—Mrs. Lydia Pinkbam.of vegetablo compound fame, is dead, of paralysis, aged <*>4. Her I face and name were familiar all over ; the United States. Her parents were I (Quakers and she was born and brought up in Linn After graduating at the Lvan Academy she taught school in Wareham and Lynn. Forty years since she was married to Isaac Pink ham, by whom she had four sons and a daughter. Fifteen years ago she be gan manufacturing the compound on a small scale, and for the past seven years her sons, who took tbe business, have spent $200,000 a year in adver tising. Mrs. Piukham was a spiritual ist. She leaves a husband, a sou,a daughter and a reminiscence of a calm and placid countenance. Down on the Extra Days. The Beaver Argus is down on the present method of making laws and wasting of time and money witnessed every legislative session at Harrisburg. It closes a scathing article thus: "It is humiliating to be compelled to witness every two years at Harrisburg such a spectacle of the Mammon of un righteousness where there should be examples of self-forgetfullness and en tire devotion to the interests of the State. Can not men of probity, ex {. "ience and intelligence be found in every county in whom conscience and patriotism are sufficiently developed to enable them to resist the temptation of ten dollars per day for extra days ? To get such, is tbe only way the constitu tion can be enforced, and tbe people should take care hereafter that such men are elecled." The Oil Market. The oil market is stil advancing. It does not go up as rapidly as the ardent bulls would desire, but tbey must not forget that a solid and permanent market always advances slowly. It is a good sign to see the market close a little higher each evening. There is only one thing now that will break the market and that is new wells. The wildcatter is not as indus trious as usual, but there is no telling how soon he may bring in a well that will knock it all to pieces. Barring new wells tbe market never looked as well. Production is certainly declin ing everywhere, and the time will soon come when we will commence to draw on stocks. Then look out for higher prices. When the immense amount of stock is being reduced then the oil man's heart will be jubilant. Until this day cornea there is not a great prospect for very high prices. The bear element can in some way always make himself felt in the market. The day, however, is growing bright for higher prices.- Kittanning Prest. The Crops of 1883. The New York Tribune has jus published extensive report* of the con dition and prospect of the crops of the Western States, by which it is shown that the wheat crop has improved since the May report of the Agricultural Bureau. Since the latter report the weather has been favorable and did much to advance its condition until now, while it does not promise the great yield of last year it bids fair to turn out better than its condition war ranted a few weeks since. The aver age April Ist, 80, May Ist, 83£, now is considerable better, Tbe Tribune reports also show that the average of spring wheat will be largely increased, mainly in Dakota and Nebraska, and tbe yield of winter in Ohio will be nearly 33,000,000 bushels against 25,- 000, as estimated by tbe May Ist re port, but the loss In the other wheat growing States will be, light Iu Indi ana and heavy in Michigan, Illinois and Kansas. On the whole the esti mated yield of wheat for 1883 will be about 530,000,000 bushels, or 82,000,- 000 bushels leas than that of last year, but Biuce there is still unsold 80,000,; 000 bushels of a surplus of old wheat the prospect is not so bad. In regard to corn and oats, it is too early to pre dict, but everything looks fair for good crops. Crowned. The Czar, Alexander 111, was on Sunday last crowned "Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias." This ceremony in Russia far surpasses in splendor that of any other country. In addition to the crown, uucplre, orb, sword and other insignia of title, tbe account says they "anuointcd tho Em peror's forehead, eyelids, nostrils, lips, ears, breast aud hands." "The Era preun was annointed only on fhe fore head." To U0 here this all is in great contrast to our simple and plain Re publican manner of inaugurating our Presidents. But I'.ussia is not repub lican yet. M tllltl ' l*. BY ICRS— I THOMPSON.—On May 24, IMH.I at Farming ton, by Rev. Win. Brantlcld, Mr. Reuben Ryera and Misal.illie M.

Illustrated History of Butler County. llie "llietory of Butler County" which his bwu the object of anxious anticipation by our i people for nearly two years, has, at last, been ! completed and is l»eing delivered to it* patroi s. Ttie publishers, M'-ssrs. Wa triuan, Watkins A Co., and our citizen* are to be congratulated upon the successful completion ol the work, which is a most thorough and artistic one in i tvery particular. The ability and eorgy which the publishers have displayed iu their work an.l the patieuce and thoroughness with which they have pursued their investigations led us to anticipate a valuable history as a result, and our anticipations have been uiore than realized. They have collected and colla'ed a vast amount ol material with great care and skill, and the results are in every way satisfactory. The work, which i.-> a missive quarto of over 600 pages, including illustrations, is printed on tine liuteu paper, bound in elegant style and is a model, tut only as regards au horsliip, but iu mechanical execution. It is a volume that will be accorded a prominent pi ce in the library, or ou the centre tabic, ol its possessors, who will hand it down to their decendauts as an invain - hie l.eir-loom. The gtneia! history comprises sixteen chap ters compiled under the following headings ; Introductory and Descriptive, The Hegion Prior to 17tK>, Land Title Survey, Advent ol the White Man as a Settler, A Picture of Pionee- Life, I ternal Improvements, Civil History, The Hir of Butler County, The Press, The Medical Profession, Soldiers of the VVarol 1812, Two Chapters on Butler County During the War oflß6l-(5, Butler County Oil Develop ment, County Societies, Statistics, also a chap ter on the Borough ol Butler. Supplementing the general chapters is one devoted to e'.ch township in the county in which everything ot interest fro 2» the earliest settlement and reminlscencies ol plon er lile is faithfully chronicled down to the present time. The work also contaii.s portraits of many ol our prominent citizens, both dead and living, together with biographical sketches which rounds out and completes the volume in most admirable style. The volume is also embellish ed with numerous other illustrations from sketches, executed by their special artist, Mr. F. M. Gilbert, which forms a valuable portion of the work by giving a correct representation of the county as it exists to-day. In line the history is an invaluable production—one that brief criticism fails to do the amp le justice that will be accorded to it iu after years. Where to Gun and Fish. Peihaps the most practical, convenient, and complete publication on gunning and fishing, aod their various auxiliaries ever printed, is the one recently issued by the Passenger Dc fartruent of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and taltimore Railroad Company. Practical in that It not only informs in concise terms where the several kinds of game fish and birds may be sought to best advantage, but how to reach such places in the cheapest and most expedi tious manner, including not only the rail hut, where necessary, the stage and wagon lines, with cost. Convenient in being reduced to pocket size, and in the arrangement of the matter under different heads, so that the reader in seareli of advice regarding a certain fjsh, duck, or bird will liud it iu a special chapter describing ip» haunts, habits, aud peculiarities, Complete from the fact that it takes in the entire peninsula, which contains Delaware and the eastern shores of Maryland and Virginia, from the Chesapeake to tltP Atlantic coast, The kiuds and cost ol bait, proper and legal seasons of the year, cost of wagon or other transportation, location of principal hotels and hoarding houses, and all information, such as those unacquainted with the country would like to know before leaving home for such a trip, have been carefully examined into and noted. The book ia profusely illustrated witji cuts of fish and birds, and afio contains a splendid map of this territory. Copies may be had free by addressing Mr. J. R.
