JACKSON, (late C 01.,) President. Q. W. FLEKOBB, Bec'y. Papers in Western Pennsylvania are re quested to publish. A Singular Incident. Missus. EDITORO: —Allow me here to relate an incident which took place in fa quiet village about twelve miles from Butler. A few weeks ago a lady and her daughter locked the outside door, leaving the key in the lock and retired to bed, but in a few minutes they heard the click of the lock as if unlocking. The young lady went and found the door unlocked. She opened the door and looked out bnt saw nothing. She locked the door leaving the key in the door and retired again, soon to hear the sharp olick of the door unlocking. She arose, found the door un locked, looked out as before, again locked the door and retired, not to sleep, for by this time sleep seemed to have fled. The looking and un locking was repeated at short intervals until midnight. A short time before midnight the lady, after looking the door, put the sewing ma chine against the door but it aid not prevent the unlocking. A boat midnight the door was locked and remained I till morning. Theee facts were told me by the yonng lady herself and corrobor ated by her mother, and both are trustworthy, NOOTCBMAL. Prospect, June 25, 1883. —According to an article ia Harper't for thia month the tecond and not the fourth of July should be celebrated a* independence day. It was on the seoond of July, 1776, that the Continental Congress adopted Lee's resolu* tion of independence, though the famous Dec laration, written by Jefferson, was not approv ed until the fourth, and that is how it came about that the fourth and not the second is now celebrated all over the United States— exoept in Butler. We would suggest to our merchants and hotel and restaurant keepers, that, (looking at the matter from a business stand point alone) it would pay them and pay them well to take advantage of the holiday to draw a crowd to town. An appropriate day time parade, a bit of a speech and a balloon ascension, and a few fire-works at night would d) it. —The Carbon Centre oil field, or Coburg oil field as some call it, after the man who put down the first oil well there, is rapidly coming to the front. There are now eleven pumping wells there, with productions ranging from thirteen to sixty barrels each per day, or about 400 in all. These wells are located on the Ker rick, Heck, Gerstner and Krebbs farms. Eight new rigs are up and wells going down on the Heok, Kerriek, Vosbrink, Lowry, Durkin and Mulligan farms. The Lowry farm well is about completed and there are two rigs up on the Vosbrink farm. Not a single dry hole has yet been had in this territory. Since the above was put in type we hear that the Lowry farm well was completed Saturday and is doing from 25 to 50 barrels. It is owned by the Hoch brothers of Millerstown. —Our Jim says that the reason some people make fools of themselves is because they are raised fools, and some fools learu by experience while others do not. —lt was a dull, hot "Fourth," —Chrolithion. —All the oil exchanges in the country now close at 3 P. M . —The P. 4W.R. R. Co., is removing its shops at Parker and Zelienople to Allegheny City. —The rose bug promises to become as great a pest as the potato-bug. It is eating away a* everything. —Just as one of our liverymen was becoming an expert coon-tamer, his coon turned on him and gave him a fearful scratching. —Every lady should give Day's Soap one trial. By this means they will learn of its in trinsic value without running any risk of de ception. —During the greater part of last week the mercury stood at about 90° in the shade. The week before it ranged from 60 to 80. —The "Solid Comfort Hunting Club," of Mercer, is at present on a visit to the wilds of Canada. P. W. Lowry Esq., of this place, ac companies them. —By a recent act of the Legislature the prac ticing dentists of the State are compelled to register in the Prothonotary's office, as are the physicians. —A lamp explosion occurred at the residence of Major Reed a few evenings since, but the burning oil was extinguished before serious damage was done. —The Janies Borland farm, in Butler town, ship, was sold by C. Walker, Esq., to John P. Forcht, of East Brady, a few days ago for $6,000. —During show day in New Castle a Hickory township farmer had his pocket picked of $l5O by a nice young man who met him on the street, called him by name, took him to the show, etc. —A small piece of paper or linen moistened with turpentine and pjit into the wardrobe or drawers for a single day at a time, two or three times a year, is said to be a preventive against moths. —The most disappointed person we have seen during the present century was the young lady who took sixteen pieces of music to a friend's house, and who was not asked to sing during the whole evening. —A post office called "Flick" has been es tablish id at Flick's store, in Middlesex town ship. Mr. Flick was appointed postmaster, but as he is almost blind he refused the office, and an effort is being made to have Mr. John Gillespie appointed. —Chrolithion. —The new coroner of Red Dog, Arizona, held the usual inquest the other morning and rendered the following vernict: "We, the jury, dooly swore, find that the deceased kem ter his deth by the jujmint off God, for hevin kaled Bill Jaxon a lier." —One of the fish-ways of the Columbia dam across the Snsquehanna river was the scene of an accident a few weeks ago by which a Butler boy came near losing his life. The boat he was in was drawn into the fish-way by the current and upset, and when he was taken from the water life was apparently extinct —Mr. George Harbison of Buffalo twp., had $274.00 stolen from his clothes, while they were hanging in a wardrobe at his father's house, a few nights since. A peddler was suspected, ar rested and searched, but none of the missing money was tound upon him. —The hot weather sends the small boy to cool and shady places along the creek, not for the purpose of going in swimming, but to kneel and pray that the town council may soon allow of such sport. The council should amend the ordinance to provide for the small boy who hoes corn in the morning. He should haye the privilege of bathing wherever he pleases. —The Presbyterian congregation of Free port celebrated the semi-centennial anniversary of its organization on Tuesday of last week. Rev. W. F. Kean, who had charge of the church from 1849 to 1869, and Bev. J. J. Francis, whose pastorate extended from 1869 to 1879 were present and took part in the services' Rev. Samuel Caldwell, the first pastor, by rea son of disability; was unable to be present. —The hum of the locust is no longer heard in the land. The birds destroyed vast num bers of them. The small branches of the trees stung by the female locusts have already begun falling to the ground, and with them fall the small grubs which will enter the ground and remain for another period of 17 years. —Chrolithion. —Mr. Nicholas Slupe, of Jefferson township was severely injured on the 20th ult., by the fall of scaffolding upon which he was working. He was repairing the roof of his barn and at the time was fixing the eve of the roof, stand ing upon the scaffold,which gave way and caus* ed him to fall a distance of 15 feet, severely, but not fatally injuring him. Being well up in years and a large man the wonder of his neigh' bors is that he was not killed. —The survey for the branch of the S. A A. connecting link, to run from a point on the new road near McGraths Mill to Red Bank, was begun last Tuesday, and work will begin on i' as soon as the main road is completed. This is likely but the beginning of an east and west road across the county. From the place it con nects with the main road, west down the Mud dycreek and to New Casile there is an almost level road-bed, or a location for one. —The annual statement showing the amount of the taxable property in Butler county, as re turned by the assessors and equalized as far as possible by the County Commissioners, appears in this issue. The law requires its publication and it is always interesting to the taxpayers of the different townships and boroughs. It would have appeared sometime ago had not the Fairview township litigation in regard to the assessment prevented. —The Triumph Truss Company, of Philadel phia and New York, whose advertisement ap pears in another column has opened an office in Pittsburgh, at the Hamilton Hotel, 205 Penn avenue. The office will be in charge of Dr. Engleman, the great Hernia Snrgeon.' They offer to forfeit SI,OOO for a case of rupture they cannot cure. They have over 30 styles of trusses. A lady attendant will be constantly on hand. This is a rare chance for the afflicted to avail themselves of the means of relief at a moderate price. —A supply of the new postal notes has no* yet been received at the Butler P. 0., but money orders can now be had for any sum under SIOO. Feet are also reduced to the fol lowing rates: Not exceeding $lO, 8 cents' from $lO to sls, 10 cents; from sls to S3O, 15 from S3O to S4O, 20 cents ; from S4O to SSO, 25 cents; from SSO to S6O, 30 cents; from S6O to S7O, 35 cents; from S7O to SBO, 40 cents; from SBO to SIOO, 45 cents. —On account of bad management the Glass Company, of Parker, has beoome embarrassed. The Inst number of the Phoenix speaks as follows : "At a stockholder's meeting of the Parker Glass Company, limited, held in the Oil Exchange on Friday last, a statement was submitted by the Treasurer of the company to the stockholders, in which it was shown that the company has been doing business at a great loss. The amount of the indebtedness exceeds the credits and also the plant by several thous ands of dollars. The prospects of continuation under the limited partnership is not at all feasible. What the outgrowth of the affair will be is hard to tell; there seems at present no alternative but that the property will be sold out under the Sheriff's hammer." —Chrolithion, [ —The body of W. M. Fitzaimmons, a young man, son of Wm. Fitzsiinmons, dec'd., and Elizabeth Fitzsimmons, (nee Grahaminow of Jefferson township, this county, was found on the track of the Allegheny Valley R. R., at Ilaightd run, last Monday morning. He has lately been clerking at the store of the .Etna Iron Works, and at the time he met his death was on his way to his home in Sharpebnrg, from a visit to a young lady living near the Water Works. His body was brought to his mother's home yesterday. —Prof. J. A. Cooper has now completed his twentieth year as principal of the great Normal School at Edinboro, Erie county, this State, and he has just issued a catalogue which is of special value to all persons thinking of prepar ing themselves for teachers. The school is now one of the most prosperous in the country, the catalogue showing a total enrollment of 651 students. For further information copies of the catalogue, etc., address the principal, J- A. Cooper, Edinboro, Erie county, Pa. Chrolithion. —All the glass workers of the United States and Canada, who belong to theirf Union, quit work at 4 o'clock of Saturday afternoon the :50th, ult. This includes the hands employed in the glass works here, and the firm had to hunt up a few non-union men to keep going long enough to fill what orders are in. The plans for the new ten-pot furnace and works to be run in connection with the present works, have been made, but the contract for building has not yet been given. —The house of Mr. Albert T. Pearce in Butler township, with all its contents, was consumed by fire on Friday morning, the 29th ult. Mr. P, and a young son were the only persons at home that day. He arose early that morning, made a tire in the kitchen stove, and then went to the barn. Returning shortly he discovered that his house was on fire and burn ing rapidly. He rushed up stairs and saved his boy, who was yet asleep, but was not able to save any of his household goods. The fire originated from the kitchen flue, and there was no insurance on the house. —The act repealing the tax on patent medi cines has been signed by the Governor, and no further tax on these articles will be collected. According to a circular sent by the Depart, ment to County Treasurer Miller, any taxes on these articles for 1883 that have been paid since the sth of June will be returned to the parties who paid them, but those paid before that date will be retained by the State. The act was approved on the sth of June, and in this case prompt payment means the loss of your money. The order is unjust and may be rectified. —The arbitratore in the case of the Common, wealth for use of Emma J. Rea vs. ex-Sheriff Hoffman gave the plaintiff an award of $310.25 damages and costs of suit. The arbitrators in the case of John Dickson vs. Thomas M. Dick son awarded in favor of the plaintiff for the land described in the writ. The arbitrators in the case of Luding Birch vs. Tobias Dietrich and wife awarded in favor of the defendants with costs. The award in the case of R. P- Scott vs. C. A. Sullivan, Cross and James Slater, and J. A. Lidecker was in favor of the plaintiff for $l5O and costs of suit. —The house of Mr. Henry Sanderson, of Clay township, with everything in it, except" ing a little of the parlor furniture, was consum ed by fire last Friday morning. The fire orig-' inated in a bed room up stairs, over the parlor. Mr. H. was in the room a few minutes before the fire was noticed and can only account for it in the supposition that he tramped upon a match. He and his family, as well as three railroad hands, who were boarding with them, lost all their clothing. The house was insured for a small amount in the North Washington Mutual. —The Franklin, Pa., Press enlarges on our prayer meeting item as follows: "A Butler father has hit upon an excellent expedient for removing him who tarryeth too long with the daughters of the household. A young at torney called on one of the girls the other night, and when a large section of the night had worn away, and the family longed for rest the father entered and paralyzed the persistent lawyer by asking him to lead in family prayer. The young man, not having any petition of the sort drawn up, was forced to decline, lie felt that he was called elsewhere, and soon withdrew. It was another instance of the mov ing power of prayer. Parents pestered with lingering sparkers may find in prayer the means of filling a long-felt waut. Make Charles Augustus pray or paddle. —The shooting ol JDavid Nittle, at the picnic, on the Fourth, was a singular accident. Dave was standing between the refreshment tables and the nine-pin alley at the time, about fif teen feet to the right and twenty feet back of the target. The ball that is supposed to have struck him, missed the target, passed through an inch board, and must have changed its course nearly 45 degrees. It entered the fleshy part of his right shoulder, passed downwards into his abdomen and has not yet been extract ed. The doctors think it will do him no harm at present asd that it would be dangerous to cut it out during this hot weather. Dave was moving about the house yesterday and was feeling well. In the woods across the creek, that day, some parties were shooting and it is possible that the ball came from one of their guns. —Our bankers are now allowing but 85 cents for trade dollars deposited with them. This movement against the trade dollar was origin ated in New York city a week or two ago, by money-brokers who expect to profit by buying them at 85 cents and then prevailing upon Congress to again make them a legal tender. For instance a profit of 15 cents each on the five million trade dollars said to be in circula tion in this country would amount to $750,000 and the same on the whole coinage of thirty fiye million in circulation in this country and China would amount to $5,250,000. There is a great difference of opinion as to whether or no Congress should make itself the tool of these brokers. There is more silver in the trade dol lar than there is in the standard dollar. Its coinage was authorized in 1873, and the object of the measure was to provide a coin for use in our trade with China, no gold or silver being at that time coined in that 'country. It was not intended for circulation in this country, but the depreciation in silver, brought it back herei and by the act of 1876 its manufacture was stopped and its legal tender quality taken away. —The new railroad—S. & A. connecting road—will probably be completed by the Ist of next September. The Morehead cut is about completed and the cut at the summit on the McCall farm, in Clay township, will be finish ed in a week or two. The ties and rails have been laid as far down astheStonu House, in Clay township. This road strikes the narrow guage railroad a short distance above Mr. Reiber's residence, east of town, and will come in to the West Penn depot on the old narrow guage bed, now out of use. A curve or Y will likely be built at this point for the accommodation of through trains. The new road is being well built. There are no sharp curves on it- and the highest grade—that at the summit—is but one foot in a hundred or 52 feet to the mile. We understand that it is especially intended for the through freight of the P. R. It., which has it and the S. & A. R. R. leased. Its completion will, we think, make Rutler a desirable manufacturing point, and will bring people here, as did the comple tion of the P. & W. R. R. Two years ago Butler was full of vacant houses, now there are none, and next spring houses will probably be in greater demand than they were this spring. It might pay our capitalists and land owners to put up a few good tenement houses summer. --Send or leave your order for a Sewing Machine, of any make, at E. Qrieb's Jewelry store. may3l-tf —Mr. Alfred Brenneman, of Perry township, Lawrence county, a brother of William Bren neman, the Portersville hotel keeper, commit" ted suicide by hanging himself in his barn a few days since. For some days previous he had been complaining of a pain in his head and seemed to be worrying over the fact that weather was too wet to allow of his corn being worked, which, in connection with bis rash act, would indicate that his mind was affected. The yeics, of New Castle, gives the following particulars of the affair: "The deceased got up this morning feeling as well as usual, and without giving any intimation of the determin ation he had made to kill himself, started out to the barn to drive the cows in for his wife to milk. Mrs. Brenneman waited patiently for him to return, and after some time went out to look for him. Though she called his name a number of times she received no reply, and she began to search in earnest. On going into the barn she was horrified to find the lifeless remains of her husband hanging from the feed-box of a manger. He had placed a halter about his neck and jumped from the manger, which was a high one, and death was probably caused by strangulation. The poor woman hastily cut the halter but all efforts to restore him to consciousness were in vain. He was married about three months ago to Miss Maggie but leaves two children from a former marriage. He was about 35 years of age, and has always borne a good reputation. There is no cause that can be assigned for the committing of the rash act, and as a conse" quence the excitement about the ,place is in tense. WIPED OUT AT A CROSSING. Five Persons Belonging to one Family Instantly Killed. CINCINNATI, July 3.—A terrible ac cident, by which nearly the whole of a family were wiped out existence with out a moment's warning, occurred to night at Winton Place, a crossing on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton road, six miles out of the city. Henry Kraacke, a German, aged 50 years, an invalid, living on a farm at Winton Place, three young children remaining with him. His wife lived in the city and kept a small produce store. A part of the children remained with her. It was the intention to devote to-mor row to making a holiday, and this even ing the father drove to the city in a one horse wagon, returning later with his wife, and their four older children, and Adolph Betsch, a young German ac quaintance, who had not yet learned to speak English. The party were in excellent spirits, and were chatting gayly over their plans for the morrow, when they reach ed the crossing near destination at 9:10 o'clock. The crossing is without pro tection of any sort. The horse was just on |the track, when the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio express, due here at 8:55, and behind time, came thundering along, and before any of the occupants had time to more than re alize their danger the engine had struck the wagon, thrown the horse to one side unhurt and ground the wagon un derneath the ponderous wheels of the train. The father and mother, and all the children, were instantly killed and hor ribly cut up and mangled, the bead of Maggie being cut entirely off. The train was stopped and backed up, and the mangled remains were gathered up and brought to the city, when they were removed to an under taker's. Only the three children left at the farm remain of the family. The blame is laid on the railroad company, as no safeguards are provided at that point.

U., they met at the house of A. B. Gildersleeve, one mile north of Harrisville. Their meeting developed a new and successful mode of filling up the temperance ranks. No one had any idea there were so many temper ance women in Harrisville. It is as tonishing what a wonderful anxiety there IB to do something for the tem perance cause when there is a meeting to be beldjat the strawberry gardens. The meeting was held at 3 P. M. About 2 P. M., the "procession began to move." Hack after hack and buggy after buggy went pouring out to the W. C. T. U. strawberry picnic. Only one man was allowed to accompany the women, and him they "drafted" for a driver. They went in bravely for womans' rights. Wonder when they will hold their grand convention to nominate a woman as candidate for President. Why not? The party re turned to Harrisville about dark, all sober, but strawberries have been rather scarce ever since. Some boys, in experimenting with an old cannon yesterday evening, fired it off opposite the Methodist parsonage, just as tbe Rev. Chesbro was about starting to prayer meeting. They loaded it with a piece of iron, and fired it toward the parsonage. The iron went crashing through the front of the parsonage, doing considerable damage in breaking glaßs and frightening the inmates badly. MILO. HARRISVILLE, July 7, 1883. EDS. CITIZEN :—Tbe Fourth was celebrated here with all the usual sports. The principal part of which was the masque parade. The gents donned the ladies' dresses and bonnets; and some were attired in style, white dress es of style, fine bonnets, kid gloves, &.C., combining the sublime and the ridiculous. There was quite a display of fireworks in the evening. Hon. L. Z. Mitchell and James Cubbison spoke. All passed off quietly and but little drunkenness. MILO. Trade Dollars.

SEAIIURY & JOHNSTON: I am slow to pin my faith to any new cura tive agent. BENSON'S CA PCI NE POROUS PLASTER has won my good opinion. I find it an exceptionally cleanly plaster to use and rapid in its action. Many tests of its qualities iu my own family, and among my patients, have convinced me that there is no other sin gle article so valuable for popular use, none so helpful in cases of lame back, local rheuma tism, neuralgia, congestion of the bronchial tubes and lungs and lumbago.
