This is the twentieth pi isoner who has escaped frotu the Sheriff's custody in the past year. —Although buckwheat cakes will be scarce and exceedingly high priced, it is well to ad vise all housekeepers who indulge in the luxury that the cakes this year should be made light and full of holes. The nearer you get them to resemble a porous plaster the more fashionable they will be. Good yeast will do it. —A general act passed by our State Legisla ture during the sessions of 1851, reqnuires each county to donate the mm of SIOO to one regular organized Agricultural Society in each county. The act has never been repealed, so far as we can discover by glancing over the pamphlet laws to date, but it does not apr>ear in Purdon's Digest. We hnve heard of other general laws that do not appear in i'urdon. —Greenville can have a woolen mill with $26,000 capital if the citizens will take stock in it to half that uniouut. Messrs. J.

The chickcus may refuse to go to ruost ur the roosters to crow Bt night by "Staudard time," but for wicked man this time will du us well as local time. —The family cat seems to have been the cause of the late murder in Indiana cuunty.

Schmick is having some trouble regardiug the location ot his well. The Itald Riilg;: (Jo.'s new well on the Huselton is pumping from to 10 bar rels.

Office on Jefferson street, Butler. —One man was killed and four wounded during a riot at one of the big gas wells near Murraysville, Westmoreland county, last Monday, between the employes ot the two companies claiming the property. The Penn Fuel Company men were at the time holding possession of the well, when they were at tacked by 22 men in the employ of the Chi cago firm of Weston, Johnston Co., armed with rifles and bayonets, who fired and charged upon them killing the superintend ent outright and wounding three others, one probably fatally. One of the Weston party had his skull crushed by a blow with a piek haodle. The Weston party took posession of the property and barricaded it, and at lait ac counts still held possession. time by some of our citizens, a meeting was held in Germania Hall, Jefferson street, Monday evening, for the purpose of giving some kind of an entertainment for the bene fit of St. Paul's Orphan Home, the only charitable institution in our midst. Atter re marks by several gentleman the meeting was organized by electing J. T. Kelley, President; E. S. Ha-ssler, Sec'y.; J. M. Galbraith, Treas. It was then decided by motion that the enter tainment be held at the Orphans' Home, some evening during the secoud week in December. The following cominitte of ar rangements was appointed: J. T. Kelley, E. S. Hassler, E. D. Robinson, E. Mackey, thas. R. Grieb, Aaron Reiber, W. C. Thompson and Prof. J. C. Tinstman. This committee will meet at 4 o'clock P. M., in Germania Hall, on Wednesday atternoon. There will also be a meeting of the general committee, to hear report of oommittee of arrangements next, Mondav afternoon at 4 o'clock, in Germania Hall. It is the intention to make this a great social gathering of as many of Butler's peo ple as can possibly attend. We hope, there fore, all will be interested, and lend their aid. J- T. Kklley, Pres. E. S. Hassler, Sec. —The system of discounts adopted by some of the wholesale dealers of the country is liable to deceive or mislead retailers who are not posted regarding it. For instance, the whole saler will, by circular or agent, agree to sell goods to the retailer at 20 and 10, and 10 and 5, and 5 percent discount from his printed price list, and the retailer will add up the different discounts, take it for granted that the real dis count intended is the aggregate of these, and give or send an order under the impresston that he is securing a bargain. But such is not always the case, the discount that would be in tended by the wholesaler by the fiures here given, would be 20 percent, oil the listed price, and 10 and 10 and 5 and sof the successive balances, amounting in all in this case to about 41 per cent, instead of fifty as the figures ag gregate. We were shown, the other day, by a dealer in articles that are not among the neces saries of life, &n offer from a manufacturer to sell him goods at 50, 20and 5 off. ''You sec," said he, ' that I can get those goods at 75 per cent, offtbe price list." But he was mistaken —the discount intend there was exactly 02 per cent. Our retailers can stop this nonsense by making the manufacturers or jobbers quote them, iu all cases, their lowest net cash prices for the articles offered. —The agents and employees of the Postal Telegraph Company have been bu~y lately put ting up their poles along the west siile of .Main street, this town, and putting up their wires. The line of this company that passes through this county exteuds, or will extend, from Pitts burgh to Buffalo. The route from Allegheny city is up the Perrysville plank road to Mc- Cune's hotel, in Allegheny county, and then to Butler via the Three degree, and on north to Franklin. In Pittsburgh and Allegheny cities the wires are being put underground, and from the limit# of Allegheny city to this town, a dis tance by the route taken of 35 miles, some 1900 poles have been put up. But two wires will be stretched at present, but the wire is of an un usual quality, consisting of a steel core with copper covering, and costing $130.00 a mile. These two wires will, it is said, be able to do all the business between the two points. The instruments used at each end of the lines will be "Gray harmonic" repeaters, which al low of eight men at each end of a single wire. It may astonish some people to hear that two messages can go over the s<,rne wire at the same time, in the same or opposite directions. This is accomplished by the use of the duplex repeater, and by the use of the quadruplex sextuple or harmonic repeaters, four, six and eight messages can be forwarded by the same wire at the same time, in the same or opposite directions. "Its all in the instrument"' says a telegraph man, and "the telegraph business is still in its infancy." This new telegraph and cable company means "Bonanza" Mackev and J. O. Bennett, proprietor of the N. Y. Herald, who are laying cables under the Atlantic and putting up wires all over the country. It also means, to all appearances, strong and enduring competition with the Western Union, whose rates for points not covered by other lines are too high. A Very Sudden Death. That "in the rnidst of life we are in death" was realized with terrible force by those, who last Friday noon, saw Samuel Young lying dead upon the floor of an office which he had just entered for the purpose of transacting some business. At the moment when death overtook him, he was in the act of answering a question reqarding one of his neighbors and with the half finished sentence upon his lips fell back wards and a instantly expired. His fall was so sudden that the by-slanders could not intercept it and his heart ceased beating almost imme diately. His body was carried into the Arbi tration room, and afterwards placed in a coffin and taken to his home in Washinton township. Mr. Young had some business in town that day in connection with the Kb. Christie estate, and had come from Washington that morning in company with Mr. James Mabood, bringing the mail with him, though he is not the reg ular carrier. 1-caving his rig at the Williard House, he and Mr. Mabood repaired immedi ately to the <>)urt House, first going into the Kejjister's office and then to the Prothonotary's, which they entered shortly before noon, and scarcely a minute before he fell. On his way to town that morning be complained of a pain at his heari, and it is said that his heart had been affected for some years. He was a son of James Young, of Washing ton township, was UH years cf age, and was highly esteemed by his neighbors. He was the collector and constable of Washington township last year and took an active interest in ridding the neighborhood of the gang of horse thieves that then infested it.
