MILLIARD, of Washington twp f" 1 - - - ■ " ' SOME communications that have to he omitted this week will appear in our next issue THE lecture of Rev. Smith in the M. E. Church, on last Thursday evening, was well attended and pronounced as very good. • IF to no pay no free passes on rail roads were added the probability is the Legislature would soon either redistrict the State or adjourn. THE Republican Senators at Ilarris- Uurg have resolved to consider no more propositions from the House on the subject of apportionment bills. ATTENTION is directed to the \\o mana' Christian Temperance Conven tion, which meets at Sunburv, this county, Wednesday, October 3d. SOME new parliamentary rules were found in the Senate at llarris u urg last week among them that 23 members present make 26, cr a quorum of 50. A DETAILED account *of the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. S. I*. hakin, of Allegheny township, came too late for this paper and will appear next week. THE suit brought against the county, referred to in another place, of this p&" per reveals a matter that is astonishing if true. We hope an explanation can be made of what see ms so seriously to affect individuals and and officials as well as the tax payers of the whole county. At the recent Administrator's sale of the Adams property, in Fairview this county, Capt. Thomas Hayes bid in the old Adams Hotel, with the ob ject, we learn, of transferring the build ing into school rooms for educational purposes, certainly a laudable purpose. OUR Legislators having now agreed to set without pay and "find them selves," the people are willing they re main in pession continually—at least as long us they sat at the expense of the people. That will make the ac counts about square. MR. J. T. BLAIR, of Greenville, who has been the Superintendent of the Shenango and Allegheny railway and its branches, has been appointed Gen eral Manager of the same. Air. Blair is a very worthy and justly popular railroad officer. A dispatch from Mercer, to the Pittsburgh C'o miner finl Gazelle of Monday last, say? the troubles at the Pardee min«s still continue and that police force is necessary to preserve order, and that the miners ?.t Coaltown and Gomcreol, this county, have gone to work. WE regret to learn that Mr. Eben ezer Christy, of Washington twp , this county, was killed i_n last Sabbath by being thrown from a buggy. It ap pears he was over in Clarion county on a visit and when coming down the hill to or near Emlenton, on his return home, his horso ran away and he was thrown from his buggy ami injured so badly that he lived but a short time. At this writing, Tuesday, wc have no further particulars than the above. Tim Williamsport Qazrtte and Hall ~ ein Buprgestfl Cits son, ou tho Alle gheny Mouutain, this State, as a gocd pace tor holding the next Republican National Convention, for the nomina tion of candidates for President and Vice President. The suggestion is a good one, provided the hotel accommo dations there are sufficient. As thou sands always attend the National Con ventions it is probable the lodging, etc., arrangements at Crosson would have to be enlarged. It is advisable to have the Convention held out of a large city, if a proper place can be found. Exciting Oil News. The well drilling on Green farm, on the I'lank road, three miles south of 1 Sutler, is Hearing completion and gives a very favorable showing up. Last wenk, although but upon the top of the «and rock, there were two or three flows of oil. The sand is the best yet found in any well hereabout. On a personal examination we think we never saw better. This ha;; created hopes that the well will be a good one. If so, its location is an important one and another boom must certainly come to Butler. Thi.s WC( k will likely de termine the eapic'ty of this new vent ore of the Messrs, rhillips. It ;s locutf d about three miles east, by north, o' Wild Ltidge, or Renfrew, and about one and a half miles directly cast of the Wallace firm wells. CAR HON OKNTKK. At Carbon Center, or rather M< pump the water out of the Beaver river into the new basin. There are three public school build inirs here and t* ere are thirty teacher# employed, and thirteen hundred pupils attended school last year. Oo a clear day an observer in the lower part of tsv/n can see away to the north a mas sive building, thr«- storied high, and <1 tower on top. What is it? It is Geneva College, the institution where the descendants of the old Scotch Cov enanters educate their sons and daugh ters. Its very name carries us over tho blue waters, away into the interior of huroj.e, anjong the far-famed mountain scenery of .Switzerland, tt has a fine building, a grand situation, a corps of eight learned professors. a successful past, a cap city for two or tl.r'-e hun dred htuden s, and the prospects for a glorious and useful future. There were one hundred and ten students in at tendance last year, and the propitious opening of this week foretells a largo Increase for thij year. The.se are a few of the many things that I might write concerning tins pros perous littl" place. i( time and oppor tunity permit, perhaps at some future time, i shall enter more minutely into its history, and also tell you cjncern i":' some of the Butler countians that are here. S<| iohjnki;. A party of Englishmen who are on a tour through the western portion of this e rnntry were taken one day week, while they were at Fargo, Dakota, to the great Ibtlrymple wheat farm, eighteen miles west of ti.at. piace and there saw sun •thing that gave them a more intelligent idea of the wenl'h and greatne. -s of the United States than they eon Id acquire by years reading.

Witten arm's, September 13.—Dele gates from England, Scotland and Ire land have arrived to attend the celebra tion of the guater centenary of Martin Luther. The city is profusely decorat ed. Crown Prince Frederick William was received witji great enthusiasm. Two thousand clergymen are here. The Emperor has issued a -Cabinet I order entrusting Crown I'rince Fred | crick William the duty of representing him at the Luther festival at Witten | burg. The Emperor, as chief deposi tary of the government of the Church in his empire, expresses a feeling of warm interest in the celebration, in which the evangelical faith obtains full expression. The commemoration was a great success. The number of visitors is es timated at 50,000. They came princi pally from Thnringa, Saxony and Brandenburg. Delegates from Hun , gary, Austria and Trance also took j part in the celebration. After reading the liturgy, Superintendent General Schultz delivered the festival sermon, taking his text from St. Mathew, chap ter 21, verses 42 and 43. A long procession marched to Luther's house, where the Crown Prince subsequently, in a large hall which served formerly as Luther's lecture room, declared Luther Hall open. Silver Wedding. On Friday, Sept. Tth, 1833, people commenced coming in from all parts of the country to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Eakin, Grant Farm, Butler county, Pa. They came with baskets full of the luxuries of life. Mr. and Mrs. Eaken not having due notice of this grand affair, appeared to be some what surprised and gave way to the visitors, who took possession of the house, and at 1 p. M. dinner was in readiness, continuing until 4 p. m. During this time eighty-six friends of the happy couple partook of the feast. At the close of the repast a large num ber of useful and valuable presents were tendered the happy pair, accom panied with the good wishes of the many donors.— l'arkcr Pha;nix. W. C. T. U. The First Annual Convention of the Womans' Christian Temperance Union of Cutler county, Pa., will meet at Sunbury, Wednesday, October 3, 1883. Mrs. Frances L.

The corn crop is called a failure and will probable be less than half a crop, as it it was late, and the frosts came early.

IVlial Rested and Refreshed a \Veary Man in SleuipliiH. "No, it never amounted to an acute pain, but continued to be a dull weary ache in the small ol'mv back," writes Mr. James Thomas, of Xo. 59 Madison street, Memphis, Tenu. "This was an old experience, and life became dull music. I was tired all over, with pain in the lower limbs, and a habit of lying awake of nights. Recently I tried one of BKNSOX'S CAPCINE POROIS PLASTERS and was decidedly re lieved within twenty-four hours. It may have been Providence that did the work, but 1 give the credit to Benson's porous plasters." Mr. Thomas'reverential idea does him credit, but Providence works by agents, and among them Benson's plaster ranks first as an external rem edy. It acts quickly in relief and healing, and renders life better worth living. Price 25 cents. Look in the middle of the plaster for the word CAPCINE. Ask your physicians about it.
