COURT next weck.for civil cases. THERE are 93 counties in the State of Ohio, and only 67 in Pennsylvania. SEVERAL interesting communications from different parts of the connty will be IMD in other places of this week's CITIZEN. THE Prohibitionists of Ohio etill have hopes that the amendment to the Constitntion has carried. Up to the latest news received the vote is close, with several counties yet to hear from. OWING to a press of job work the is sue of the CITIZEN was delayed a little daring the past two weeks. Our sub scribers at some of the offices in the county will know from this the reason of their papers coming a day late. MR. WILLIAM LARDIN, of Clinton Tp- who has been confined to his home for some time past, was able to be in town Monday last. His son, Miller Lardin, of Fayette county, accompan ied him. We were pleased to see them. AT a meeting in Pittsburgh last week resolutions were passed condem ing the Legislature for failing to appor tion the State into Congressional and Legislative districts, styling the action of the members as an insult to the State Constitution and asking for their resignations REV. WM. BRANFIELD of the M. E. Church, who was stationed at Farm ington, this connty, for the past three years, has been transferred to Clinton ▼ille charge, Venango county, and Rev. Lewis Wick takes his place at Farm ington. Rev. Lusher, of Millerstown, goes to Parker and Rev. Hume to North Washington. AMONG the losses in Ohio we regret to notice tb&t of Gen.Eckley for the Sen ate. lie was the Republican candidate for that office in bis district, Carroll and Stark counties, and is snowed under in the general storui that has just swept over Ohio. The General lived among our people here, off and on, for parts of several years past and made many friends here, who are sorry to learn of his defeat. His district was a very close one however and be ran his full party vote. ON the first page of tbe CITIZEN, this issue, will be seen a communication from Bald Ridge, Penn township, this county, to the Pittsburgh Dispatch. We have copied it, as the "philosopher" mentioned therein bus been unknown to us, and probably to our readers. All concerning this "descendant of Prince Krunitz," living in our county, was news, and, therefore, we introduce him in this way to our readers. That be is a my lb we cannot believe. But any further information concerning him will be thankfully received. As tbe winter approaches and as many important events are happening, and no doubt will happen—and as political affairs are growing very inter eating, and will soon become very im portant—now, therefore, is tbe time to subscribe for a county paper. It is our intention, as soon as possible, to en large the CITIZEN, and in the meantime we solicit tbe co-operation of all its friends in the county towards enlarging its circulation. Each subscriber can procure another one, from among his neighbors, if he will but try. Let us hear from you, friends. The Work of Women. The work of women in the Ohio election last week was conspicuous an d great. This time, it may be said, it was women on the one side and wine upon the other. The grape-growers and the wine-makers, together with all the other liquor influences and interests of the State, were arrayed against the proposed Prohibitory A mendmeot to the Constitution of Ohio. The women took up the battle for the law, were organized, and went from polls to polls on the day of election, beseeching all good men, and all others they could, to vote for the amendment. The result of their labors is tho immence vote of over three hundred thousand for tho law and its possible adoption. But, if not carried, one more such effort will carry it. Such an effort would have carried it in Pennsylvania this year if the Legislature hud complied with the petitions and prayers of the people and given them the privilege of having a vote on the question. It is bound to ' come, and is but a question of time. J IOWA ELECTION. Republicans Carry the State. lowa stands firm to the Republican cause and her election last week is some relief to the loss of Ohio. The follow ing is the latest from lowa : CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—A tpeciai to tlie Journal from Des Moines, lowa, says: Sherman's majority will reach 30,000. Complete returi s from fifty-nine coun ties, which include heavy Democratic districts, give 13,300, and partial re turns from the remaining counties give him 27,000. His plurality will not be less than 12,000. The Lower House is close. The Republicans now have fifty-four, and the opposition forty-one. Of the remaining five the Republicans will get three. The Senate now stands, Republicans, thirty-seven; opposition eight; in doubt, five; Judge Cook is elected to Congress in the Sixth Dis trict by a small majority. The Demo crats now concede 20,000 majority to Governor Sherman. Ohio Election. The election in Ohio last week was for State officers and the contest was fought upon local issues. Principal among these local issues was the liquor question, in no less than three forms. The Democrats have elected their candidate for Governor by at least 10,- 000 of a plurality, and the balance of their State ticket also. They have also carried the Legislature, thus giving them entire political control of the State. There were three amendments'to the Constitution of the State voted upon. Two of these had direct reference to the liquor question. One provided for the regulation and assessment of the liquor traffic, in a manner similar to that in Pennsylvania. This was voted down, not receiying a third of the votes cast. The other was a prohibitory amendment, and was, of course, direct ly opposed to the other, as, if carried, it carried down the whole liquor busi ness. On this last the contest was principally made. There were about 700,000 votes cast and the latest news we have is that the prohibitory amend ment has received at least 320,000 of these votes, but mav still lack a major ity. llow parties were affected by this> or how to account for the Democratic success, Las given rise to various opinions. Taken altogether it appears to be a very much mixed question—if not a puzzle—the only certain fact be ing that the Democrats have carried the State, on local questions, aud> therefore, it cannot lie regarded as having any bearing on national politics, or on the vote of Ohio next year. Why Not Agree to It? Last Friday at Harrieburg the Sen ate passed the resolution previously passed in the House, called the Ormsby proposition, and which provides that the Republicans shall choose Demo crats, and the Democrats shall choose Republicans, as a conference committee to which all apportionment bills shall be referred for final consideration. It is the same proposition made by Sena tor Agnew at the regular session and is so fair that people do not understand why it is not acted upon. It now passed the Senate it seems when a number of Republican Senators were absent, and a motion is made to recon sider it. But why reconsider? How can it work unfairly to either paity ? How can it damage the Republicans ? Why then reconsider ? Let it pass aud end the miserable farce now so long existing in the Legislature. Death of Matthew Greer, Esq. Among the death notices this week will be seen that of Matthew Greer, Sr., who died at hiH residence in Buffalo township, this county, on last Wednes day evening, 10th iust. He had been in ill health for some years past, suffer ing from asthma. Mr. Greer, at one time, served the people a terra as Coun ty Commissioner, being elected to that office in the year 18G1. He was re garded aa an able and faithful officer. Among his neighbors he was held in high esteem aud served them usefully in many local trusts. He was in the 7'2d year of bis age. November 6. Pennsylvania will hold her election November fl, only two weeks from next Tuesday. We have a good State and a good county ticket, and they should be elected, and will be if the Republi can voters go to the election. In this county we hope there will be a full turn out. It is time to begin to move in the matter. Let all awake to the im portance of attending the polls in order to secure success. If there has been any apathy let is be thrown off and all go to wor/c. The interest and good of the people should carry elections aud not money. When the time comes that only money will bring voters out to our elections it will be an evil day. We say to the Republicans of Butler coun, ty, prepare for Tueaday, November <», and on that day turnout to the election. A Fine Monument. The family of Mr. Martin Ileiber, Sr., late deceased of this place, have caused to be erected at his grave in the south cemetery a very costly and fine monument. It is of the best New Hug land granite. The whole of the different blocks of marble composing | it we understand is about nine tons. One block alone weighed two and a half tons. It is sixteen feet in height, and taken altogether is much t 1 o largest and most imposing structure of that kind yet erected in any of the ceme teries of our town. It is as creditable to the family erecting it as it fa u worthy tribute to the deceased citizen whose memory it is intended to per petuate. W E are pleased to notice among the Republicans elected in Ohio to the : Legislature the name of our friend, Mr W. D. JohDston, formerly of this place, and who was matried here to Miss Carrie Walker, daughter of Mis Nathaniel Walker. While here he at tended the Witherspoon Institute He is elected to represent Huron county. We congratulate him on Li-» election. A "FARMERS' and Breeders' Live Stock Insurance Company" has recent ly been organized in this county. The object of -the association is to afford farmers and owners of horses and cat ! tie a protection against losses occasion ed by death or theft. This would ap j pear to be a much needed kind of insur ! ance in this or any community. The j intention, we learn, is to make the as ] sociation as extensive as possible. Hon. A. D. Weir, is President of the com ! pany; Capt. Thomas Hays, Vice Presi dent; 11. D. Stevenson. Treasurer; Dr. J. E. Byers, of Butler, Secretary, and James Stephenson, James S. Hayes, Julian A. Clarke, Isaac Lefever and Bartholomew Nebel are the Executive Committee, all of this county. Reid Institute. REIDSBURG, CLARION Co.,> October 6, 1883, > MESSRS. EDITORS: —Permit a few words concerning this acadamy and normal school (for both sexes.) It is designed to meet the wants and to secure the patronage of Baptist Asso ciations in north-western Pennsylvania. Although it is owned by the Baptists of Clarion Association, and controlled by the Baptists, it is free to all. It is located in Reidsburg, Clarion connty, and was founded in 18G2. It com menced its twenty-first year on Tues day, September Cth, 1883. Nearly 1700 students have received their edu cation in part or entirely at this school. Of these there were 18 ministers. Of students for the ministry there are 7 at present. Of lawyers it has schooled 8. Of physicians 10. County Superin tendents 1. The most of the remain ing students have been and are teach ers. Many are business men and farm ers. The school has made a grand showing. Three of its principals were, A. L. Lane, A. 8., now Professor of a college in New England ; A. B. Ritten house, A. 8., Government Surveyor, (deceased), and C. A. Gilbert, A. M, present Principal. The school was a success under each and largely attend ed. The school was founded by Sister Joanna P. Moore, who is now a mis sionery in the south. It has borne an unstained character. It has at present a board of eleven trustees of which Rev. B. 11. Thomas, D. D., is president. Prescott Hall, burned down during the brief principalship of Prof. J. Bv Solomon, is now rebuilt one-half larger. Students are prepared in academical education for business, for professions, or any avocation. The school is beautifully situated on the bank of Piny Creek, on a level grove above the town, in a forest of pine and oak, and with many pictur esque sceneries. The present is a pleas ant one. Last year there were ten counties represented. Those who wish to have the advantage of a schooling I advise them to try Reid Institute. Winter term will open on November 20th. For information address the Principal or President of the Board of Trustees, Reidsburg, Clarion county, Pa. J. W. NBYMAN. A Re-Union Picnic. WUITESTOWN, Butler Co , Oct 8, 'B3. EDS. CITIZEN :—Having been pres ent at the Re-union Picnic of the Win. Scott family which came off on the 4th inst., I will try to give you a few incidents which I observed. But that you may more fuily understand the magnitude of the affair it is proper to say that Wm. Scott, the head of this great Scott connection, came and set tled in the "8 tracts," now neighbor hood of Mouutville, about the year 1794, and was one of the pioneers of that early day. And now his descend ants run to the sixth generation and number about eleven hundred and eighty; each generation being repre sented, except the old gentleman him self who has been dead many years. But two of his daughters are yet living aud were present, Mrs. A nuie Morn son of Wurtemberg and Mrs. Peggy Young, of Perry twp , Lawrence Co., Pa , both well stricken in years. The rest of bis family were John, William, Nancy, Jeuaie, Betsy and Polly, who all lived to raise families. John being among the oldest, bis fairiily is still in the front rank as the oldest, of whom Wm. Scott, of Lancaster twp., is we suppose the oldest survivor of the third generation and is seventy-seveu years of age, and was present with four of his sister*, yet is not near the oldest man identified in the connection. Uncle Matthew Stewart, as he is familiarly known, is in his eighty eighth year and was also present to take part in the picnic dinner, which was a prominent feature of the occas ion and a success without a doubt. The table was set in the church yard aud formed a hollow t-qijare, with a waiters table in the center, and all groaned with the heavy load of good things of this life, of which the Scott family are noted for getting up and also partaking of, as we think every one present got abundance to sati.-fy the inner man and yet there remained twelve basket#- Now I will try to tell you something of the doings of the great day. The people begnii to gather about ten o'clock and in a short time the church yard was full of people and rigtf of conveyance. The time until dinner ui»a ppejit in shaking of hands and general good cheer as many friends met who had not seen each utljcp for twenty-five or thirty years, as some of th<- in eaino fr< ni Illinois, Indi.tna, Ohio ai.d oiher places fur <•(!' to be present at this great meeting Visiting the grave yard, which joins the church j'ard on the north, where the old father's re mains rest, was another prominent fea ture. Ilis tomb-stone being draped With the American flag and his grave covered v/ith wreathes and flowers. At twelve o'clocjk pinner was announc ced. After dinner the assembbfgp re paired to the church, which is the third on** (up this congregation and has been built near (ojrty yeijrs aud is yet in ! pretty good repairs, aji.d werp brought to order by calling Francis M. Scott to J the chair and electing Alexander ! Stewart, Secretary. After which the !4Cth Psalm, (> liues, was fci'ng by the I choir, led by Prof. Nealy, of Lawrence ;county. Second, Prayer, by Rev. I. E. Black. Third, An anthem by choir, "Praise the name of God." Fourth, Reading of the history of Montville congregation, by Rev. Alex. Young, to show the part taken by Wm. Scott in its organization, which was brought about in the year 1817, Wm. Scott with a few others having settled on the 8 tracts as early as 1794 and held meetings for religious service i in their houses. Fifth, An anthem by choir, "Be tell ing of salvation." Sixth, Remarks by Rev. Elam j Thomas. Seventh, An anthem, "Oh, sing un to the Lord." Eighth, Remarks by Rev. J. B. Whit-ten. Ninth, A motion to form a perman ent organization was acted on and the present officers continued tiil uext meet iug. On motion Theodore HuDter was elected Historian and several other complimentary motion* and votes of thanks passed. Adjourned by chantiuu the Lord's prayer, to meet at the call of the Presi dent. OBSERVER. Prospect and Vicinity. EDS. CITIZEN :—Knowing that you have always taken a pride in publish ing the news from the different locali ties in the county, and especially from the good old town of Prospect, I feel no reserve in sending you a number of items, which, though vague, may in terest some. Prospect, though not directly connected with the outside world by railroads, manages to keep apace with the advancement of those things which are so necessary for the comfort and welfare of all classes of people. Her citizens generally keep well informed of the events of the times, the proof of which is readily seen when one sees the mauy papers that come to this office. Our mail facilities are tirst class, and we received the printed news that the "free-whiskey aud no Sunday" people were in the majority in Ohio, not more than two hours later than did the people of Butler. Our county papers in connection with the principal Pittsburgh and New York papers, and quite a list of others representing all parts of the uuioi), both secular aud religious, are welcome visitors to our h'-juseholds; and if they fail to come at their usual time, a cold disappointment is the result. The mechanics are busy repairing and building those articles that add to the convenience of the community at large. The stores are no less busy attending to the wants of the people, who, like the fabulous ant, are wise enough to prepare for the winter in good time. The public schools, under the care of Miss Weber and Prof. Ricketts, are again in session for the boys aud girls that are wise enough to grasp the gold en opportunity which the good people have urovided for their benefit. Tho hotels, under the management of landlords Martincourt and White, have the best of accommodations and it is doubtful whether they can be ex celled in the county. The young folks' prayer meetings, held every Sabbath evening in the U. P. Church, are well attended and con ducted by the young people, whom these meetings should and will benefit if proper attention is given by all. The farmers are busiiv engaged in digging potatoes, gather in g and storing their lruit, threshing buckwheat, put ting away the corn, making cider and the old palatable spread known as ap ple-butter. It is wise of you, good husbandmen, to do all of these things in time, for, ere long, the chilly blasts of the boreau latitudes will sweep over the land, leaving the fields beautifully carpeted with snow, which will be im partially bestowed upon all things alike, sightly as well as the unsightly. It will be a great deal pleasanter then to sit around the cosy fire cracking nuts and jokes, and probably your fingers, eating russets and long johus, reading good books and papers, than to be out working in the cold with benumbed feet aud -fingers, thereby laying the foundation for a whole winter's cold, when this work could and should have been done in time. Now, kind reader, I am not attempting to play the rule of a braggadocio in the first part of this, or to don the garb of the critic in tho last, but a fair consideration is all I ask. PERSONAL. Wm. Ralston has purchased the property of Prof. Foeheringer, who, in turn, his purchased Young's new house on Franklin street. Samuel Weiglc is building a resi dence on his lot. Oeo.

They report: '•Lots of squirrels aud a bully time." While "Sally" and ''Nutt" were gun ning the other day, they ran into a den of black snakes, which scared the boys quite badly, after which every stick aud brush had a bead, ey«iß, forked tongue aud could crawl (in their minds.) 11. W. Henshaw raised some as nice potatoes as are generally seen. On a lot 2Vx3 rods he raised I S bushels of "Mammoth Pearls." Who can beat it?

This will be a memorable fall for marrii ges iu this immediate vicinity. There have been no fewer than eight weddings, and prospects of more in the near future. They siy that one has gone to Canada (Kennedy), aud an other is aching (Aikin) to go too. The town was quite busy last week on account of the Lutheran Conference meeting here. It was a grand success in every particular. Everybody ad mired the singing of the choir.
