—The Fair at Harmony opens next Tuesday
and continues during Wednesday and Thurs
day. The Association is making every effort
to have a good display this year.
—The Mercer county excursionists, of last
Wednesday, were greatly disappointed—they

—People who affix postage stamps to news,
paper wrappers is such a way that part of the
stamp laps over and adheres to the paper itsel'
run the risk of having their papers sent to the
Dead Letter office. In that shape the paper
becomes a sealed packet subject to letter rates.
—The S. & A. R. R. is being ballasted with
gravel obtained near Pardoe, the first station
this side of Mereer. A good gravel bank was
found it this end of the road, but the owner
wasted too much for it, at least the railroad
company thought so.
—The express going north on the West Penn
railroad, last Saturday afternoon, collided with
another train near ilites station. Several
Butler people were on the train, but one of
whom, John K. Kelly, Esq., was hurt. His

Glaughlin, a sister of James and Dunlap Mc-
Glaughlin, Esqs., deceased, and we believe
she was born aud raised in Butler.
—According to the Clarion Democrat the
lightening rod swindler is playing his little
game in that county. Seyeral farmers have
been roped in to the tur.e of from two hundred
to four hundred dollars. The lightning rod
thief offers to put up rods for a certain sum.
When the work is done he wants sixty-five
cents a foot for the rods, claiming that the
sum named was only for "putting them up."
—ln behalf of the Board of Managers of St.
Paul's Orphans' Home, we tender to the good
people of Butler our sincere thanks for their
generous gift of S4O, given upon the occasion
of the union picnic of the citizens ot Green
ville, Mercer, Grove City and Butler, held at
the Home on the 29th of August.
P. C. PRUUH, Supt.
—Prof. Leason's Musical Convention opened
on Monday ovening with an enrollment of one
hundred and twenty members. The choirs of
the different churches are well represented, and
a general desire is manifest among singers,
young and old, to make the most of tnis oppor
tunity |for improvement. As the course is to
continue for two weeks, there is yet time for
others to enroll. The concert to be given on
the 19th inst. bids fair to excell all those of
previous courses, and will come at a favorable
time for a very large attendance of the people.
—We direct attention to Mr. A. Troutman's
advertisement of his Fall stock of dry goods,
notions, trimmings, etc., and also his carpets
and oil cloths. Mr Troutman has lately en
larged his carpet room, which now occupies
the entire second story of his store building,
and contains a very complete stock of carpets,
oil cloths, druggets, rugs, stair rods, etc., in all
the newest designs.
—A veteran postoffice clerk throws out the
following valuable hints: "There is a right and
a wrong to everthing„and consequently there
is a right and wrong way to put on postage
stamps. It is impossible to moisten a stamp
with the tongue unless a small portion of the
giun adheres to it. Now this gum is by no
means injurious, but then the department does
not advertise it as a health food; so the only
way left is the right way, and that is to moisten
the envelope first,"
—Watermelons are iu season and plenty hnd
good though not very cheap. They have
steadily risen in popular and medical favor in
the last few years, and instead of being looked
upon, as formerly, as the active cause of colic
and kindred complaints they are recognized as
the most perfect and speedy cure of summer
complaint. It is said on good authority that
even when diarrhea has become chronic it can
be cured by partaking freely of watermelon
two or three times a day. Watermelons con
tain about 95 per cent of the purest water and
a trace of the purest sugar. It is the unri]>e or
the over ripe fruit that does the damage.
—Edinboro is the best school for teachers.
J. G. TOWNSEND.
—Mr. Adam Notman of Worth, Mercer < oun
tv,Pa.,has been entirely relieved of a glaneouia
tious inflammation of the eye in which the pain
was unberable. The eye was injured 35 yea re
ago. Dr.Sadler 2*5 Penn Ave.Pittsburgh,treated
him at his infirmary. All who have need of
treatment of Eve, Ear Nose, or Threat should
take advantage of the low fires during the
Exposition to cousult DR. SADLER
—lt is entirely unnecessary for us to call at
tention to Bickel's mammoth advertisnient of
his Fall stock of boots and shoes, although it
is our custom to make mention in this column
of all new advertisements. John's is so large,
however, that it cannot fail to attract the eye
of every reader of the paper, he has purchased
an unusually large stock of goods for this sea
son and advertises in proportion.
—By taking a lunch with you, you can go
to Niagara Falls next Tuesday, see all the
sights there, ami return, for the small sum o*
sjven dollars. The railroad fare will be
and tickets for Prospect Park, the Suspension
Bridge, Museum, etc., sl.2s— if you want them
The train will leave Butler at 4:30, A. M., tr
rive at the Falls at 12:35 A. M., and returning
leave the Falls at 9 P. M., giving the excursion
ists over eight hours at the Falls.
—Quite a number of the officials of the P. R.
R., S. & A. li. R. and other roads, in] company
with some newspaper men and others, will ar
rive in Batler this (Tuesday) evening, at 5
o'clock, via the S. &A. R. It. Thcv will take
supper at the Lowry House at 7 o'clock, and
will be pleased to meet all those of our citizens
who chose to attend at the Court House at 8.
The Court House bell will be rung for the
meeting, some short speeches will be made
and a pleasant evening is anticipated.
—The Sheidemantle well oil the Wallace
farm, about 60 rods east of Agnew No. 2, pene
trated the sand last Saturday and made one
good flow. The well has 42 feet of sand, has
not yet been tubed, but will likely settle
down to be a moderately good pumper. Agnew
& Co.'s well on the Green farm, near Plank
Road toll gate, will likely be completed next
week. Work on it progresses slowly on ac
count of salt water. Agnew & Co.'s No. 4, on
the Wallace farm, about 40 rods north and 20
rods east of the new Sheidemantle well will be
finished during the latter part of this week or
the first part of next.
—lt is now but two weeks until the dates of
the Fair, and we again call attention of our
readers to the fact. A look at the grounds will
convince any one of the preparation that the
officers are making to insure its success.
Large and commodious stalls are being erected,
in addition to those already on the grounds,
thus incuring great expense for the purpose of
securing good accommodations to all who de
sire to exhibit stock. The Society anticipate
the greatest exhibit of stock they have ever
had. But let those who have no stock to ex
hibit recollect there is sonething they can do to
make the Fair a success—assist in the display
of fruits, grain, bread, cakes, butter—by bring
ing / With an exhibit of each of
these articles, but be sure and aid the enter
prise by your presence if you do nothing more.
—The managers of the Pittsburg Exposition
propose making their Relic Department one of
the most interesting of the Exposition, and
have allotted it a space sufficiently large to
to make a magnificent display. All articles
of interest, antique or otherwise, curious or in
teresting in any degree, will be acceptable to
them, will be transported free, and great care
will be taken in unpacking, displaying, repack
ing and returning the same. Suitable glass
cases have been prepared for the articles loan
ed, and safes have also beep provided for arti
cles of great value, and the department will be
under efficient police surveillance. All per
sons having articles in their possession which
they would like to have displayed in this de
partment, can forward them, with correct data
concerning them, to Mr. A. R. I'eed, Sup't.
Relic Department, Pittsburgh Exposition So
ciety, Pittsburgh, Pa. Correspondence regard
ing such articles is solicited.
—The old 100 th regiment of P. V. held a
pleasant reunion at Beaver Falls last Wednes
day. The regiment received the name of
"Roundheads,'' because the section of country
from which they came was origiually settled
by Cromwell's Roundheads of the English rev«
olution, and they were engaged in most of the
battles fought in Virginia and Maryland during
the war. Several citizens of this county, mem
bers of the regiment, took part in the reunion,
among whom were E. E. Aiken, J. W. Whitei
R. McEckles, John Moore, Miller Wright and
R. G. Glenn, of Portersville ; Alex. Frazier, of
Millerstown; Wm. Rutter, of Butler; George
Maxwell, 11. M. Gill aud John Cooper, of Slip,
peryrock, and W. C. Wimer and J. N. Kirker,
of Middle Lancaster.
—The telegraph office of this town was dis. •
covered to be full of smoke early last Monday
morning. The alarm was given, but a few
buckets of water stopped the burning, which
was chiefly confined to the insulating material
around the office wires. Some two dozen insu
lated copper wires pass from the batteries on
one side of the room, under the floor, to the
table and switch-board on the other side. The
wires are insulated with parafine covered by
cotton plaiting, which the rats are supposed to
have eaten off, allowing naked wires charged
with the different kinds of electricity to come
in contact, and generate sparks. All the insu
lating material on the wires under the floor and
up to the switch-board was burned off, and the
floor and under side of the table were scorched,
but the switch-board was but slightly damaged
One hundred dollars will probable cover the
damage done, outside of the interuption to busi
ness. During the excitemeat Johnny Grieb.
whose store is in the front part of the same
room, over-exerted himself in getting out his
show cases and counters and fell in an epilep
tic fit. The hose companies were, as usual,
promptly on hand, but one of the companies
came very near running past the place, on ac
count of not having been informed of the lo
cation of the fire. People who notify the hose
companies of a fire should always state ex"
actly where the fire is.

Notes on Current Events.
Tbe island of Java, the scene of the
late disaster, is ruled bv Holland. A
representative of the Xetherland trad
ing Company in New York, remarked
a day or two ago. "We have a large
branch at Batavia. They sent us a
dispatch yesterday. It left Batavia at
6 o'clock P. M. It said nothing about
the earthquakes or eruptions, so I can
not think that any business interests
have suffered. Coffee and sugar are
the principal exports. Coffee is the
only crop which could be affected at
this time of the year, unless some of
the sugar storehouses on the Bataviaa
flats were destroyed by the tidal wave.
I don't the think the coffee has suffered
because it would be to their interest to
let us know, as it would send up the
price of coffee. Earthquakes there are
so common that an ordinary quake oc
casions no more uneasiness than a
shower here.
The province of Bantam, which
seems to have suffered most, is unim
portant, as there are no harbors on its
coast, and consequently no large com
mercial towns. Artjer is simply a
place where ships receive orders by
telegraph where they are to unload.
Probably the other towns mentioned
are equally unimportant The sinking
of the light houses in the Sunda Straits
and subsidence of Kramatan will of
course endanger navigation, as the
southwestern monsoon is now blowing,
and all vessels bound for China take
the Straits. But the Dutch are alive
to the interests of commerce, and will
divise means to warn vessels."
The doctrine of the divine right
and appointment of kings will not die
with the Comte de Cambord. It has
an adherent in the United States, and
his name is Sitting Bull. This very
troublesome ex-potentate announced
yesterday at a council with a Senatorial
committee that he had been created
chief of the Indians present by the
Great Spirit. But he was not treated
as men of similar pretensions are
abroad; for, having also spoken doubt
ingly of the sobriety of the committee,
he was compelled to choose between
apologizing and going to the guard
house. Sitting Bull is out of place
here; he ought to be in Europe, among
doctrinaires of his kind, and the gov
ernment would save money by sending
him there.
—W hen Congress recently passed a
law prohibiting the importation of
adulterated teas the public supposed
that thereafter they would know what
they were buying when they bought
tea. But it appears that the time fori
rejoicing has not yet arrived. Accord
ing to a large dealer in New York,
there is still on hand an immense
quantity of adulterated and bogus tea,
which has been accumulating ever since
England refused to receive any more
of it.
GRAND EXCURSION TO NI
AGARA.
Rupert Brothers' Eighth Annual
Popular Excursion.
The eighth annual excursion to Niagara
Falls, under the management of Rupert .Bros.,
of the Couneautville Courier, will run on Tues
day, Sept. 11th, 1883, from Butler, over the
Shenaugo & Allegheny Railroad, and from
New Castle over the Erie & Pittsburgh Rail
road, stopping at all intermediate stations, via i
the new Nickle Plate Railway to the Falls. |
The train will run special both ways, without
change of cars and make no stops east cf Erie.

arriving at the Falls at 12:35. Returning the
train will leave Niagara at 9 P'. M., and make
the same fast time as in going, giving over
eight hours at the Falls which is ainpie time
to visit all points of interest, and to witness the
grand electric light illumination of the Falls
in the evening, pronounoed all who have
seen it as one of the finest spectacles ever wit
nessed, and alone worth the expense of the
trip. By taking along your lunch basket
there will be no expense for hotel bills. Less
than half rates have been secured for all points
of interest at the Falls, including the electric
light. No postponment will be made on ac
count of the weather, as a stormy day here
would be no indication of bad weather at the
Falls, the distance being so great. The trip,
aside from the attractions at the Falls is a de
lightful one and well worth the outlay, as the
train runs the entire distance through a beauti
ful country along the shores of-Lake Erie and
the Niagara river, passing through Erie and
Buffalo and the many towns between. Ladies
can accompany the excursion safely without
an escort, as hundreds have done so on pre
vious occasions, the arrangements at the Falls
being such as to protect them from all annoy
ances and importunities. The manager# will
accompany the excursion in person and will
give every possible attention to their patrons.
If you wish to en joy a grand trip for little
money, make arrangements to visit Niagara,
Sept. 11th.
Baltimore's Carnival.
September 11th, 12th and 13th have been

W&- Wash-day haa no terrors for the household where DAY'S BOAi ia used, no unpleasant
and sickening odors to fill your houses, no'laborious rubbing on tha wash-board, while the
washing can be done in one-half the time necessary by following the old worn-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 1J
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 SDITURIMP HPMAWITY.— —"
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 guarant©© and
recommendation of a well-known industrial establishment of 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 wo 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. f&TDAi'S SOAJP is tha Original and Only Patented. ."©a

No soda, no washing crystals, no lyes are to be used, but simply supply yourself for I the
next wash-day with a bar of DAY'S SOAP, then carefully read the direction 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. .. .
B*£T*Now remember —If you don't intend to follow the directions do not try the soap at all, tor
unless you do this you will be disappointed, and then you will scold us an J yourself as well
The cost of one cake will convince you that it is the best and cheapest soap ever offered you,
while the smiles that will encircle your brow v/ill do justice to a golden sunser..
Have you confidence in this newspaper ? If so, do you suppose the owner would ailow u?
to swindle his readers by offering them tempting inducements? He uses it in his own home, and caa
certify to its merits. Now you get a cake from your grocer in time for the ijext wash-day, and become
acquainted with its intrinsic worth. . . , . . . /•
Ask your grocer for it, and do not allow him to put you ofif with anything else for a substitute, for
every dealer can obtain it, and should he refuse you, send direct to
