A REUNION of Co. C. of the cele
brated Roundhead Regiment, Law
rence county, is to take place at Por
t-rsville, this county, on October 17.
Co. C. was largely composed of men
from about Porter grille.
A BLACK ghost with white feit was
recently seen in Bellefonte one night,
which greatly agitated those who wit
nessed the strange phenomenon. Ihe
apparition was a strange manifestation
of some invisible power, and equals the
recent cases of Berks county witchcraft.
MR. HENRY WOLFORP, of Slippery
rock township, brought to our office
and presented us, on Wednesday of the
Fair, a sack of the finest peaches and
plums we hare seen or tasted this year.
Thev were grown upon the well culti
vated farm of Mr. Wolford, and he has
our thanks for tbe present.
GOVERNOR PATTISON is heartless and
cruel enough to tell the members of the
Legislature that, if any of them- think
they should have no pay, they need not
draw any from the treasury. In other
words, that there is nothing to compel
them to draw pay for doing nothing.
No resolution, he thinks, is needed in
the matter.
WITH the approach ot time for the
meeting of Congress, the value of trade
dollars advances. From 85 cents, the
price at which many people disposed of
their supply, they have gone up to 89
cents. Meanwhile Mexicans, the place
of which they were intended to take in
China, are quoted at 87. This rise in
value is credited to a demand for them
in London for Chinese trade. This de
mand, however, is small. The bulk of
them will be presented to Congress by
brokers for redemption at 100 cents on
the dollar.
GOVERNOR PATTISON has vetoed the
joint resolution of tbe Legislature pro
viding for no pay after September 10.
He says : "If the members of the As
sembly shall be entitled to any pay
lor this session it is not competent for
tbe Legislature to deprive them of it in
whole or in part. In other words, if a
public officer has a legal claim to com
pensation for any period of time, it is
not within the power of the Legisla
ture, by the passage of a law or reso
lution, to diminish that compensation
by the refusal of remuneration for a part'
of that time." And then he raps the
members about their heads for not at
tending to their constitutional duty,
and appeals to them to pass apportion
ment bills. The veto has made many
Democrats angrier than they were, and
spoils Democratic campaign thunder,
for they were claiming the no-pay-after
September-10 resolution was a Demo
cratic measure. They cannot make
that claim now— Crawford Journal,
Voliucal Outlook.
The Ohio election takes place Tues
day two weeks, October 9tb, and is
justly regarded as the most important
one, in a party sense, that takes place
this fall. Everything looks favorable
to the Republican?.
lowa holds her State election on
O :tober 9th, also. The Prohibition
quiStion enters into the conteßt there
and how it may affect old parties re
in tins to be seen.
In New York the Republicans have
harmonized upon a State ticket and
laid the grounds for reform in party
management there, similar to what was
done in Pennsylvania. There was no
Cockling present at their State Con
vention to dictate to or embarrass them,
»nd hence tbey have union and peace,
just as -vas had in Pennsylvania this
year when there was no Cameron to dic
tate to and divide the Republicans. With
New York regained Republican suc
cess next year will be assured.
Iu Massachusetts, Marylaud, New
Jersey, Virginia and other States,
State elections also take place this fall,
and all upon November Gth, except
Ohio and lowa upon October 9th. Iu
Massachusetts Gov. Butler is run
ning for re-election upon the Demo
cratic ticket, and much interest is
manifested by the Republicans to se
cure his defeat, which will doubtless
l>e dono. Should Butler however
again succeed iu being elected CTovernor
of that State it will make him a for
midable candidate for President. In
New Jersey tho Republicans expect to
win and it looks favorable for them.
In Pennsylvania everything looks
favorable for Republican success. The
candidates for the only two State
offices to fill, Messrs. Niles and Liv
sey, are both good men, and the party
is thoroughly united in their support.
Under such circumstances there cannot
be any doubt of the result id this State
in November.
" Starving Out" Process
A Ilarrisburg special says: "Thci
members of tbe Legislature are exper
iencing the acuto sufferings caused by
the starving out process which Grant
adopted for the capture of Pemberton. J
The Democrats have fallen the first vic
tims. Many of the Republicans have
good sized bank accounts. Many of
tbe Democrats have no bank accounts
at all. During tbe regular session they
spent all the money they made. They
have had no money for the extra ses
sion, and it is a little uncertain whether
they will get any. They a.*e head
over cars in debt. They owe money
right and left—for board, for lodging,
for clothes, drinks and cigars."
The Governor having refused his
assent to the resolution recently passed,
by which tbe members were to receive
pay up to the 10th of thi3 month, it is
bard to tell what will now happen to
some of the members above described.
Some of the Democrats appear to be in
the worst condition, having no "bank
accounts," and the Governor seems dis
posed to let the "starving out" pro
cess come into operation. By bis re
cent message, to be found in another
place in this paper, it will be seen that
he regards the recent resolution passed
as a mere subterfuge and sham, as it
certainly was. That resolution gave
tbe members pay up to tbe 10th of
September, and then conditionally after
that if apportionment hills were
passed. But the Governor knows, as
any man does who looks at the Con
stitution and the law on the subject,
that members of the Legislature cannot
be deprived of their pay under any cir
cumstances. He knew that the mem
bers could hereafter provide for their
own payment. lie thinks, as the peo
ple unanimously think, that tbi3 Leg
islature long ago should have passed
the bills required for redisricting the
State, and he seems disposed to still
insist on that work beiug done. But
he ha? no power to keep them in ses
sion. They can adjourn any day they
will. lie exhausted all his rights and
power in convening them, and has no
right or power to keep them there.
Their regaining in session to this time
is a disgrace aud shame to them, as
well as to the great State they repre
sent ; and the surprise all along, to all
good citizens has been, that there is
not one man to be found among them
all who had capacity and independence
enough to frame such bills as would
commend and force acceptance upon all
parties by their fairness and lawfulness.
We have yet hope that some such mem
ber or members of the Senate will arise
and be equal to tbe occasion.
The Old McGrath Mill.
Mr. 0 P. Shaffer, editor of the
Youngstown, 0., News Register, was
one of the party of excursionists on tbe
formal opening of the S. & A. railroad
to this place, on tbe 4th inst., and givtß
an interesting accouut of tbe same.
Among other things he tells the story
of John (not James) McGrath aud
bis connection with railroad business.
John McGrath lived in Center town
ship, this county, on McGrath or Stony
Run, along which the newly completed
extension to Butler now runs. The
new road passes by his old grLt mill.
He died some ten years ago at about
the age of 15 years. With these cor
rections we give the story as narrated
by tbe News Register:
"In 1814 locomotive power in run
ning railroad trains was first used on
the Killingworth railway, England, tbe
inventor being Geo. Stephenson In
Stephenson's employ was a young man
named John McGrath, and be and six
other meu comprised the entire work
ing force of the first train. Inside of
one year from tbe running of th« first
train five of tbe employes were killed,
so imperfect was tbe machinery and so
little accustomed were tbe employes to
handliDg it. When the fifth man was
killed, John McGrath left the employ
of tbe Killingworth railway, vowing
that he would go where he never again
would hear tbe screech of a locomotive
or the rumbling and grinding of a rail
way train. The five dead men were
bis particular personal friends, and
McGrath led a despondent, cheerless
life after their death. As soon as he
left the railway service be came to
Ameiica, and seeking a place where
his vow could be kept good, settled iu
Butler county, Pa. He baijt a grist
mill, and to-day it stands a ruin on the
Shenango & Allegheny railroad, about
five miles from Butler; but McGrath
kept his vow by dying at an advanced
age a few years before tbe screeching
of a locomotive reached his ears. Ilad
he lived until Tuesday last he could
have witnessed tbe forms! opening of
tbe Shenango & Allegheny ttf.ilf.9ad,
the line running near by tbe door of
the old mill, where he supposed no
line of raihyay would ever come.

After the Fair,
every person was satisfied, Managers,
Exhibitors and Visitors; it was cer
tainly a grand success. RITTJEU &

THE BUTLER FAIR
10,000 Peopleon the Ground
To say that the Fair at this place
last week was the best ever he-id iu the
county is but-repeating a get eral re
mark. It was a grand success iu
every way. Tbe people upon the
ground on Wednesday, second day,
could not have been less than ten
thousand. It was the largest assem
blage ever known in Butler at one
time. From every part of tbe county
the people came until it. looked as if
the whole county had turned out.. Tbe
most pleasant part was to see so many
of the people of tbe county come to
gether. The exhibits were also much
larger than usual in many respects.
Floral Hall, prepared by the ladies,
was more attractive than ever before.
Horses, cattle, sheep, swine, etc., were
in larger numbers and looked better
than on former occasions Agricul
tural implements and improved ma
chinery were more extensive and novel
than ever seen here before. Grains,
aud other agricultural products, on ac
couut of the late frosts and failures,
were tbe only articles in which there
were not as full exhibits as on some
former occasions. The same perhaps
! should be said of fowls. Hut taken it
all in all it was quite a success and a
verv pleasant and we hope profitable
occasion. Good order prevailed and
no accidents happened Tbe grounds
bad been repaired and looked well
The races as usual were a lively fea
ture, and while they attract many to
Fairs, yet it is a serious question
whether they should not be discontinu
ed. It is difficult to see their connec
tion with agricultural improvement.
Tbe fast horses are generally those
from abroad, and have been at ail tbe
surrounding Fairs. They are not of
our own county, aud while they may
teud to draw some to a Fair, yet tbe
general tendency of such race 3 is im
moral. We believe in this county tbey
could now be dispensed with, or the
track at least kept for the exclusive use
cf tbe stock of our own county.
NOTES CF THE 1"A1R.
The horses, mares and colts entered
are said to haye exceeded 200 in num
ber. The stallions of Clarke, llestel
gesser, Weber, Stepp, Donulson, Law
all & Boos, Hayes, Maizeland and
others ore as good as found in t ie
State. Tbe Turner horse of Lawrence
county was also again on tbe ground
and is claimed to b.5 the heaviest one,
but tbe Clark horse is said l> now ex
ceed him iu weight. The colts were
numerous and many of them very fine.
Mr. George Armstrong, of Worth tp.,
had a yearling that was much admired.
The cattle were of every breed and
kind, Durhams, llolstelus, Alderneys,
Polled, etc., aud were entered by Capt.
Tbos. Hays, Joseph Barron, Geo.

A. McCaudless, F. W. Wittee, Dr
Byers, J. K. Daiu, Abuer Patton, M.
H. Byeriy, John S. Campbell, Win
Ralston, S. W. Crawford, and others
Many of tbeni were registered aud
good judges pronounced them as good
as any thsy bad ever seen.
The sheep, Merinos, Sonthdowns,
Cotswold?, Oxford downs, Lincoln
shires and Lieccstcrs, were the finest
yet on exhibit at any of our Fairs, and
were entered by Robei'L llesselgcsser,
Daniel Shanor, A O Eberhart. John
S. Campbell, Walter Evans, Robert
Stephenson, Riley, Crawford, Kuoble,
Meales, Harding and others.
Tbe swine, Berkibires, Yorkshires,

Th-s Democratic Chairman Makes
a Plaintiff Appeal for Money
to earry the Election,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18—For sev
eral days Chairman Hensel has been
sending out tho following ''personal
appeal" to Democrats throughout the

Mr DEAR SIR: I feel certain the
Democratic state ticket can be elected.
The party is in ex<el!ent condition,
and, even by comparison with Isst
year's campaign, my reports from over
itiG stijte indicate an interest, activity
and efficiency or the Jocal organizations
that are as unprecedented and ijuex
peeted in an "off-year" as they are
gratifying to me and I know must be
to yotj. 1 need not impress upon you
tbe importance 0 f hplding the state. A
victory here now would go far toward
determining tbe Presidential election
next year, and would put Pennsylvania
iuto the front rank. Besides, the De
mocracy of the state owe it to their
candidates to elect them. Both a'e
exceptionally strong in their respective
ioc*iii(-'s, and they will leave nothing
undone that i» in t^ei; 1 power to carry
the state. To make the
here more efficient we need funds for
tbe legitimate expenses of tbe cam
paign. T'.lu 1 Jaw of 1883 forbids tbe
committee from jaafeing spy direct or in

Tiie eighth annual meeting of the
Educational Convention of northwest
ern Pennsylvania was held in the park
at Grove City on Monday, September
10. The attendance was large, though
not quite up to former years in regard
to numbers. The president seems to
have bien impressed with the idea tl at
it was to l>e a Mercer county meetirg,
as the I t!! were mostly distributed in
thaf couuty, and very few in Butler,
Ven-ugo or Lawrence, as heretofore.
This blunder was not intentional, I
presume, although some may think
their county slighted.
The couvention was addressed by
prof. Jones, of Erie, president Wheel
er, of Allegheny college, and others.
TLe day was a very interesting and
profitable one to all who chose to listen
to the speaking
One commendable feature of their
conventions is that no stands are al
lowed on the grounds (except ice cream
and diuuer) —and all who want to learn
th.-ir children that whenever they go
fiom home they must have "something
to take" tiitut take them over into town
where they can educate them to craek
peanuts and chew gum, if they wish.
The conventions are admirably con
ducted, interesting and instructive.

PICNIC.
The Reformed Sunday schools and
congregations of Henshew and Sutler
held a re-union picnic in Eberhart's
grove, near the Henshew church, on the
21st inst. The day was delightful and
the attendance from byth churches
quite large.
The table provided by the ladies of
the churches was amply spread with
the good things of the occasion. It
was a sight to tempt the appetite of all,
and to our certain knowledge, every
man, woman and child, yielded to the
temptation and justice to the occasion
was promptly rendered.
Speech making, as a matter of course,
was attended to by Revs. Liuiberg,
Trugh, StauflVr, and M. Puffort, teach
er of the infant class of the llenshew
school.
As to amusements, there was a
game of base bail, one of foot ball and
a number of games of croquet. To all
these must be added the many plays
heartily entered into by the younger
portion of the gathering. The occasion
throughout was enlivened by excellent
martial music rendered by the newly
organized martial band of the vicinity.
Jiey. J. May, pastor of the Henshew
Reformed church, was manager of the
occasion and succeeded well in every
respect. His Sunday school gavo the
Rutler school a cordial reception for
which wc feel gratefull. II O. G.

"No, it never amonutedl to an acute pain, but
eontinued to be a dull weary ache in the small
of my back," writes Mr. James Thoma.«. of Xo.
50 Madison street, Memphis, Tenn. "This was
an old experience, and life became dull mu«ic.
I was tired all over, with pain in the lower
limbs, aud a habit of lying awake of niuhu.
Recently I tried one of BI'JfSOX'S CAPCINE
POROI'S PLASTKRS and was decldrdly r«-
lieved within twenty-four hours. It mny hav#
been Providence that did the work, but I give
the credit to Benson's porous plasters." Mr.
Thomas'reverential idea does him credit, but
Providence works by acents, and among thera '
Benson's plaster ranks first as an external rem
edy. It acts quickly in relief and healinjj, and
renders life better worth living. Price 2a cents.
Look in the middle of the plaster for the ward
CAPCINE. Ask your physicians about it.
