—Quite a number of our citizens went up to
Mr, Riddle's residence last Tuesday evening to
see his Night-blooming Cereus bloom, and
were rewarded by seeing four flowers open.
This Cereus is a species of cactus, which blooms
but once a year, and then at night.
—The rhymer of one of the city dailies, re
ferring to the oil market states the following
well-known facts:
•'When it is up it is up my boys,
And when it is down it is down,
But when it is in the middle, my boys,
It is neither up nor down."

Marion, Mercer, Washington and Worth town
ships, nor in Saxonburg borough. The owner
of a watch pats his own value on it.
—An important question is now before the
Franklin county court for decision. Some
years ago viewers were appointed to view a
site for a bridge over one of the county streams.
They reported in favor of the bridge and the
grand jury concurred, but the county commis
sioners refused to build it. The parties inter
ested in its construction have petitioned the
court to issue a mandamus to compel the com
missioners to do the work.
—Mark Twain's latest book is entitled "Life
on the Mississippi." The book reviewer of the
New York Tribune thinks that his sketches
are highly over-drawn and, as for repetition,
compares Mark to the penitent in the old Irish
song, who said:
"I went to confess me to Father O'Flannigan,
Tould him me tale, made an end, and began
agin."
The Tribune man does nothing but ridicule
the work, and yet we notice that an agent for
it in a neighboring county embodies part of
this review in his advertisment of the book.
—A number of the merchants of Oil City
were taken in and done for by an advertising
man of Sells Brothers'circus. He told them
he had a contract with the Derrick for print
ing 30,000 programmes to be distributed on
circus day. He was a moral cuss and would
not advertise soloons or hotels, and the mer
chants who gave their orders paid their money
in advance. When circus day come around
neither the programmes nor man were to be
seen. Hereafter those merchants will advertise
in newspapers.
—A mathematical gentleman of Franklin,
Pa., calls attention to the alarming waste that
has been going on for ages in the matter of fin'
ger-nails and toe-nails, and gives the following
figures: A person's nails grow by actual meas
urement k of an inch a week, or 61 inches per
annum. The twenty nails of the hands and
feet thus yield a yearly growth of 130 inches,
or about 11 feet, weighing iof a pound. In a
population of 90,000,000 (which our country
is likely to have by the time the suggestions
herein are utilized) this would be 30,000,000
pounds per year. In three generations this
would give us 3,000,000,000 pounds or 1,500-
000 tons. Now, one ton of this firm, tough,
translucent material will pave a mile of street
with an elastic, indestructible pavement 3
inches deep and 30 feet wide. Thus there is
going to waste in the United States alone
6,000 miles of unsurpassed paving material,
enough to pave every city not already paved,
calculating the cities at 1,000 in number, with
six miles of pavement for each. Let the read
er pause and consider these tremendous figures,
as he scratches his scalp with his precious fin
ger nails.
—Our Jim says—that the number of men in
politics to whom home and hell are synonymous
terms is truly remarkable, and that, therefore,
politics must be the natural refuge of the un
happy benedict.
—The strike of the telegraph opeartors of
the country did not take place until Thirsday
noon of last week, when some 8,000 operators
left their instruments. At twenty minutes to
noon, by local time, or noon of Washington
time of that day, the operator here quit worki
and the members of the Oil Exchange left
their room, as no further market quotations
were to be had. The managers of the different
companies at the principal business centers are
making every effort to secure operators to take
the places of the strikers, and whether or no
the strike will be a success, and the compa
nies accede to the demands of the strikers or
compromise with them remains to be seen.
—Esq. John Smith, of Cherry township,
was discharged from jail last Saturday as per
order of Supreme Court, upon giving bail in
$5,000. Messrs. Wm. G. Smith, Charles Stew
art, George Book, Matthew McGregor and
Silas Christy went his surety. On Monday of
last week, Messrs. Reed and Sullivan, two of
Mr. Smith's attorneys, presented his applica
tion for a special allocator to Judge Trunkey,
at Franklin, who took their papers and pre
sented them to the members of the Supreme
Court at their meeting at Bedford on Thursday >
when the writ was allowed to issue and the
bail fixed at $5,000. No time has been fixed
for the hearing of the case, but it will proba
bly be heard at the next term for this county.
—They had a new kind of strike in New
York last Monday. The proprietors of several
of the largest cigar factories in the city locked
their doors and over ten thousand persons,
more than all the telegraph strikers in the
country, are out of employment. In the city
there are two cigarmakers' unions—the Inter
national Union and the Progressive Union.
The leaders of these two bodies had long bean
at war, and a few days ago, on accouut of a
trifling dispute in one factory, the Progressive
Union men had arbitrarily demanded that the
International Union men should be discharged.
This the firm refused. The Progressive Union
men would not return to work until the Inter
national Union men were dischanged. The
Union Cigar Manfacturers' Association then
declared that unless the Progressive Union men
returned by Wednesday they would begin a
lockout, which they did.
—Last Thursday morning a son of Geo. Boll
man, a farmer living between the Butler plank
road and Pine creek, in Shaler township, Alle
gheny county, noticed a man sitting with his
back against a rye stack in one of his father's
fields. Thinking it was a drunken man sleep
ing off his intoxication Bollman paid no fur
ther attention to the matter. At noon the
man had not changed his position, and Mr-
Ballman went out to investigate. He found
the man dead, with a bullet hole in his right
temple. In his right hand he clutched a re
volver with one chamber discharged. Coroner
Dressier was notified and held an investiga
tion. The body was identified as that of B-
Kline. The position of the deceased and the
character of the wound pointed to deliberate
suicide, and there being no testimony to con
tradict this theory, a verdict of death by sui
cide was brought in by the jury. Kline was
formerly a liquor dealer in the Pittsburgh
Diamond, but of late has been traveling
through the country buying hides and tallow.
—The Grand Recorder of the A. O. U. W.,

rock or Centreville, Bruin or Martinsburg,
Byrom Centre or Sandy Point, and Evans
City.
The Late Storm in Butler County
A correspondent of the Gazette, writing from
Freeport, last Wednesday, says: The storm of
last week was much more destructive in Butler
county than has been reported. Wind destroy
ed timber by the acre and hail fell in large
stones, covering the earth to the depth of sev
eral inches, literally destroying all vegetation.
The crops are totally ruined, large fields of
corn are battered down and oat fields cannot
be cut. Much wheat and rye damaged by the
storm will not be cut, and the farmers are
plowing their fields in order to plant them in
buckwheat. Many fruit trees are divested of
their leaves and fruit, while in some instances
the bark was knocked loose from the branches.
The farmers reporting the heaviest loss live
in Clinton township. Among the heaviest
losers are J. S. Love, John Norris, J. 11. Love
and J. Cunningham. Their crops are totally
destroyed and great damage to their timber and
houses and fences down.
At Pughtown, Absalom Monks, John Jack
and Arch Montgomery's losses are very heavy.
George M&zeland reports his loss at SI,OOO.
The hail broke fifty panes of glass out of his
residence and stripped his trees of all their
fruit, and literally destroyed all his crops and
garden. Ab. Monks' residence and J. 11.
Lune's had no gtass left in them on the north
west side. Down at Wm. Woods' the heavy gale
passed through his large timber, mowing a
swath through it as a reaper through a grain
field. Fifty-eight were twisted off and uproot
ed and lay neaped up in its track.
Southeastwardlv toward Larden Mills the
farms of Philip Snyder, 'Squire Harvey and
several others were badly damaged. Mr.
Harvey said the stock in the fields were pelted
and beaten with the large hail till they ran
wild. They could not find shelter anywhere,
and some smaller stock were killed.
Passing through by Emory Chapel the
storm visited the section of country owned by
the Ekascs, doing the same damage there, and
Alf Ekas had a large number of poultry killed
by hail.
The width of the storm was over a mile and
has destroyed nearly everything in its course
for several miles in length. The hail was so
thick and in such a large quantity that much
of it could be found and gathered two and
a-half days after its falling.
To Township Auditors.
According to the act of Assembly of 1874,
township and borough auditors are required to
file a copy of the report with the Clerk of
Courts or be subject to a fine of twenty dollars
for neglect of the same.

—The Commissioners of Mercer coun
ty last week removed a number of their
insane inmates from Dixmont to Mer
cer County Alms House, which is just
finished. As soon as »n order can be

—Mi6S Annie Faith, the postmistess
in Indiana county, who was charged
with purloining packages, sent thro' the
mails, was tried in the United States
Court last week, at Pittsburgh. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty, but
the court set it aside, claiming that in
the absence of important witnesses
there was insufficient evidence to con
vict. The case will be tried again.
—A party of lightning-rod men are
now on their travels. Farmers and
others must lookout for such scoundrels.
We see it stated that within the last
two weeks, in the vicinity of Wavnes
burg, Greene county, farmers have been
swindled out of about SI,OOO. The
swindlers got the farmers to sign
peculiar contracts which were alleged
to be but for a few dollars, but on
closer examination were found to range
from $l5O to SSOO. The swindlers
drove flashy turnouts.
—Oscar Richey, of Plum township,
Venango county, is wanted. He met
Miss Emma Burns as she was passing
along the highway leading to the resi
dence of Mr. Grove, where the young
lady resides, last Wednesday, and it
being dark she accepted his offer to
escort her home. After going a short
distance, he made an indecent proposal
which Miss Burns indignantly rejected.
He then threw her down, but she suc
ceeded in regaining her feet and es
caped to her home, when she fainted
and before she became conscious or
could explain what had happened,
Richey escaped and is still at large.
Miss Burns was not seriously injured,
but her clothes were torn into rags.
Several years ago this samo Oscar
Richey committed a crime for which he
was compelled to go west to escape
punishment, and while there married a
young lady whom he deserted after
one child had been born to them. He
is a son of 'Squire Richey, of Sunville,
and is considered a worthless character.
Had he been caught on Wednesday
last he would have been roughly
bandied by the people of the communi
ty. Officers are looking for him.
—While traveling in New York late
ly E. K. Sackett, an attorney of the
Erie bar, was accosted by two stran
gers who requested him to surrender
without any fuss or have his brains
blown out. They proved to be detec
tives in search of a Californa bank de
faulter. Thinking he was being guy
ed the lawyer punched one head and
was going for the other when he was
overpowered and strongly manacled.
The detectives compared his anatomy
with their description list and marched
him off to the station. On the way he
gave his name and address, but it
elicited only winks from his captors.
He pursuaded them to call at Dun's
Mercantile Agency, of which he is at
torney, at Union City. The clerk
knew that a lawyer Sackett was at
torney there, but he did not know him
personally. Sackett was incarcerated
and it was several hours before the
mistake was discovered.
—lt is said that Hattie Hutchinson,
of Rockdale township, has long been
woed by George Glover, of Bloom field,
Crawford county. Finally he pursuad
ed her to go on an excursion with him
to Cleveland, Ohio, and arriving at the
Forest City, he neatly popped the
question. She refused him, whereup
on he drew a revolver, threatening to
kill both her and himself, and she yield
ed. The gordian knot was tied and
the couple returned home the same
day. The bride went immediately to
her father's house and explained the
cape, and now seeks for a divorce.

—An error has been made in stating
that the full month of December has
been taken off the deer season. Such
a bill passed the House, but the Senate
added fifteen days more, making the
season extend to the 15th of December.
This is not as good as the House bill,
but is better than no change There
ought to be a law restricting the killing
of deer to every other year. This
would be a means of saving the lives
cf both deer and men, for of late years
the hunters have become so thick io
the hunting grounds that their trusty
rifles have been thinning out their own
ranks.
Trade Dollars.
The scheme of depreciating the Val
ue of Trade Dollars to 85 cents is a
money making one, and the loss will
naturally fall on the working men.—
The Trade Dollar is worth more in

ernment must certainly redeem them ;
believing that it will, we take them at

—A 'Squire up at St. Clair, Mich
igan, after listening to the arguments
of a couple of country lawyers for a
couple of hours, charged the jury as
follows: "Gentlemen' in this case the
counsel ou both sides are unintelligible,
the witnesses on both sides are incred
ible, and the plaintiff and defendant are
both such bad characters that to me it
is indifferent as to which way you give
your verdict.''
—Villages and farm buildings
knocked to pieces and filling the air

clouds sending their bolts right and left
into trees, barns, houses, and camp
meetings, regardless of consequences,
like British ironclads bombarding some
poor beggar of a foreign town; cellars
flooded, grain fields washed out—such
are among the storm calamities of
which we hear now almost every day.
—Postmaster-General Gresham has
done a good thing in excluding the cir
culars and letters of the Louisiana
State Lottery from the mails. Mr. Key
took this step under the administration
of. President Hayes, but the operation
of his order was suspended because the
lottery undertook to test the legal ques
tion. But instead of pressing the mat
ter to an issue it courted delay as the
best way to s cure immunity. The De
partment now retraces a false step by
compelling the lottery to ascertain its
rights under the law. We shall be
very much disappointed if the courts
set aside Mr. Gresham's decision. Up
on principles of common law and of
public policy, the lottery has no rights
in the matter.
That any State of the Union should
continue a legal sanction to an institu
tion constructed to promote gambling,
and should be willing to share in its
shameful profits, is sufficiently humili
ating. But Louisiana is within her
rights in so doing, so long as she con
fines the mischief to her own people.
By the use of the national mails the
lottery draws its spoils from every
quarter of the country, and the State
levies revenue upon the fools of every
Commonwealth in the Union. The
time has come to draw the cordon san
itaire around Louisiana in this matter,
for the sake of the colored people of the
adjacent States, if for no other reason.
They are especially victims to the
temptation which this legalized iniqui
ty spreads before the unwary.

BSrWash-day has no terrors for the household where DAY'S SOAP U used, no unpleasant
and sickening odors to fill your houses, no laborious rubbing on the wash-board, while the
washing can be done in one-half the time necessary by following the old wora-out method.
MADAM —for it is to the ladies we desire to speak more especially—you are the interested per
son. in this matter; you it is that suffers the ills arising from the wash tub and its heavy cares; you it is
to whom the perplexities and responsibilities of the household rightfully belong, and you it is that should
interest yourself in a trial of the qualities of this soap, that has always proven itself to be a boon of salvation
—TO spmauare HmsAsnTY.—•
We do not come to you with a plausible story calculated to have you try it, simply for the amount
of money such a sale would bring us; we do not come to you as irresponsible parties, who have no reputa
tion to suffer calumny, but we do present to you this brand cf soap upon an absolute guarantee and
recommendation of a well-known industrial establishment cf Philadelphia, of sixteen years'existence.
Do you suppose for a moment it would compensate us to make false statements to you and ruin our
■well-earned reputation ? No, dear reader; what we say about DAY'S SOAP is the truth, and it is sus
tained by the evidences of thousands of housewives from all over the country; besides which we stand
ready to endorse it all with ready cash. AIL'S SOAP is the Original and Only Patented.-?*,

No soda, no washing crystals, no lyes are to b9 used, but simply supply yourself for the
next wash-day with a bar oT DAY'S SOAP, then carefully read the directions and follow them to
the exact letter, and if you don't say pitch out that old wash-boiler, for I am a wiser woman, you
-will be the first person we have yet heard of that has been disappointed.
remember —If you don't intend to follow the directions do not try the soap at all, for
unless you do this you will be disappointed, and then you will scold us and yourself as well.
The cost of one cake will convince you that it is thi best and cheapest soap ever offered you,
■while the smiles that will encircle your brow will do justice to a golden sunset.
Have you confidence in this newspaper ? If so, do you suppose the owner would allow us
to swindle his readers by offering them tempting inducements? He uses it in his own home, and can
certify to its merits. Now you get a cake from your grocer in time for the next wash-day, and become
acquainted with its intrinsic worth.
Ask your grocer for it, and do not allow him to put you oft with anything else for a substitute, rOr
every dealer can obtain it, and should he refuse you, send direct to
