It is to be hoped that his murderer will meet with prompt punishment. —Sewing Machine attachments and repairs of all kinds, at E.

Six and a fourth cents damages carries costs with it, but the attoruies we have inquired of think that five cents does not, and that the plaiutiff in this case will have to pay the costs of the suit. —Rev. T. F. Stauffer, will, in a few days, open a Music Parlor in connection with the music store, where instructions will be given on piauo and organ, by Prof. E. S. Kasslerand Miss M. E. StaulFer. Classes are now being formed. Torres reasonable. Apply to teachers or at music store. —The town has been divided into sections and committees who will call upon the people to contribute such articles as they can for the supper at St. Paul's Orphans' Home on Tues day evening. Let all contribute who can. It is a freewill offering to the orphans. Let it be participated in by all. —Committees will canvass the town during the week lor the sale of tickets for tbe orphans' supper. The cause is a good one. If you can attend, well; you will enjoy yourself; if not, it will be a contribution to a worthy cause. Tick ets for the supper 50 cents, children 25 cents. —The Etna Iron Works Company, of Sharps burgh, are drilling a new well for gas on the Samuel Anderson property, in Clinton town ship, about halfa mile below the well on the William Harvey farm. Some of the wells in that section that have been supplying their mills with fuel for some years, are failing and the object is to increase the supply. —The Water Works meu shut off the supply from the Court House and jail last Saturday. They claim that the coutract between the com pany aud the couuty has expired and want SSO more or $450 in all per year. This the Commissioners refused to pay, and claim that the old contract is yet in force. The matter be,settled by the court. —A large number of our citizens—probably three hundred or more—got on the special ex cursion funeral traiu ou the S. & A. Railroad, last Sunday, and rode up to Mercer and back. The train consisted of six cars aud by the time it reached Mercer all the cars were crowded. The cheapness of the ride—so cents for the round trip—was the principal attraction, though there were a few persons on the train who really went for the purpose of attending Judge McDermitt's funeral. For the rest it was but a Sunday holiday excursion enjoyed under rather'pecu'.iar circumstances. —A man named James Williams was com mitted to jail last Saturday, charged with the late robbing of Rhodes «Sc Christy's store in Sunbury. Williams aud another man have lately been selling hardware very cheap in New Brighton, Beaver county, and were arrested on suspicion. Word was sent to Rhodes & Christy of the arrest, and Mr. Christy went down ana identified the hardware as being his aud Wil liams was committed, but his partner, who had a hearing on another case, before Mr. Christy arrived in the town, was discharged. —During the year 1834 the Agricultural de partment of the Pittsburgh Weekly Commercial Gazette will be of inestimable value to the farmer aud husbandman. Mingled with this farm news and notes he will get reliable politi cal information, Republican reasoning and the news of the world. For the familv there will be the fashions, the household selections and the best collection of miscellany possible to be gathered into the space of a newspaper of com manding size. Subscription price of the Com. mercial Gazette is $1.25 per year. —The Nation seems to be passing through an epidemic of murder and suicide, aud several dozen cases of each were reported in last week's papers. The worst case of murder was that re ported from Lacouia, N. H., where a man named Salmon murdered his mistress, a mar ried woman named Ford, cut her body to pieces and put it in a trunk and wheeled it to his boarding house, and being detected that night in trying to dispose of it, murdered the family he boarded with, piled their bodies on the floor, put a mattress over them, soaked the mattress with oil, set it ou fire and ran for his life. The woman of the family, however, returned to consciousness before the lire reached her aud jumped out of a window and gave the alarm. •Salmon was arrested. —The beautiful, and in some respects fright ful, sunset spectacle of last Tuesday evening, was repeated iu a less striking form the follow ing evening. On Tuesday evening the red glow spread all over the western heavens, leadiug some people in Butler to suppose that a great fire was raging at Bald Ridge, and it did not entirely disappear until nearly two hours after the sun had set. The cause was undoubtedly in the atmosphere, and astronomers suggest that it might have been meteoric dust, as the earth has lately passed through'the track of the No vember meteors and most meteors are consum ed a hundred miles or more above the surface orf'the earth and the products of their combus tion find their way slowlv down through the at mosphere. It is not impossible, also, that the earth, in its journey through space, sometimes encounters meteoric matter which is already in the condition of dust, and which slowly filters down through the air. Whatever the cause may be, there have certainly been some most surprising atmospheric phenomena in the last two or three months in several <|uarters of the globe. India, Ceylon, and South America have recently been treated to the spectacle of a green sun and a green moon, and now iu more north ern countries we are having the evening sKies set allame with strange reflections. The in habitants of the earth sometimes behold mar vellous sights in their travels through the universe under the guidance of the journeying tun. * —The glass works >n this town, started up again last week and is using natural gas in its furnace —8 jets, one under each pot. The pro prietors are talking of drilling a well foritas,on their own property. The firm of Richards ,OOO to *IO,OOO a year. An "average factory now consumes from 200 to 400 bushels of coal daily, ami employs two teezers, each of whom are paid about $lB a week, an expense which would be avoided where the natural gas is utilized." —The counsel for the prosecution in the case of the Commonwealth versus John Snyth Esq. asked, in court last Monday after noon, that the bail of the Esq. be forfeited on account of his not appearing that day. This the court refused,, but upon application of his bail, awarded a process for him This was put in Sheriff Donaghy's hands, who imme diately drove up to the Esquire's home iu Cherry township, and there found him sick in bed. The Sheriff stayed there all night, and came home nest day with an affidavit signed by Drs. Washabaugh and DeVVolf, setting forth that the Esquire was not in a fit condi tion physically to be removed from his bed, and that such removal at present might be at the risk of his life. This return was deemed unsatisfactory by the court. Esq. Smith and his bail were called and their recognizances forfeited aud respited till this morning, and another process put in the hands of the Sheriff, who, with the bail, immediately started for the home of Esq. Smith to bring him to Butler. —The celebration of "Evaluation Day" at New York city, on Monday of last week, closed the centennial celebrations of the important events of revolutionary times. The celebra tions of these events have been a remarkable series of commemorations. They began with the observance in Philadelphia, on the oth ol September, 1874, of the centenary of the assem bly ol the Continental Congress, and they end with that of the evacuation of Xew York, on the ('2sth) 26th. of November, 1883. Their cul mination was naturally that of the central event of the Revolution, the Declaration of Inde pendence. During this long period the Revo lutionary story ha* been told and retold in a manner deeply to impress it upon the national mind and memory, and the tiual result is un questionably a more vivid and adequate knowl edge of the national history. It is one of the great good fortunes of the country that the cen tennial season did not occur until the civil war had ended, and the national Union had endured successfully the prolonged and vital test of its character and power. The war is already merely one of the incidents of our story—an incident which will soon have left no baleful conse quence. There are, however, two more events belonging to the period immediately following the war for independence whose cdutennial an niversaries will doubtless excite very general interest. They are the adoptiou of the Federal Constitution and the inauguration of the Gov ernment under Washington. There may be some difference of opinion as to the dates when these events should be celebrated. The National Convention which framed the Consti tution finished its work and signed the instru ment on Sept. 17, 1787. But it was not to be come valid till it had been ratified by nine States. The ninth State happened to be New Hampshire, which accepted it on June 21, 1788. Which day will be selected for the grand cele bration It was provided that the Government under the Constitution should commence on March -1. 1789. A Senate and House of Repre sentatives were chosen, and Gen. Washington was elected to the Presidency in the previous winter months. liut, owing to various causes, Washington did not take the oath of ofiice till April 3u, 1789, when the new Gevernment went into full operation. Will March 4, or April tO, 1889 be taken as the proper day for the celebration ? Gettysburg. The fine steel engraving of Rothermel's cele brated picture of the battle of Gettysburg, pur :hascd by N. P. Reed and brothers, of the Com mercial Gazette of Pittsburgh, will be formally presented to the "Grand Army Post," at the i'ourt House, in llutler, on Thursday evening, December The presentation speech will be made by Col. John M.Thompson. The picture will be received on behalf of the Post*by the Post Commander, and an address will be deliv ;red by Capt. G. W. Fleeger on "the campaign )f Gettysburg." The fact that Capt. Fleeger was- present and participated in the battle is sufficient guarantee of a rare treat on that occa sion. The proceedings will be interspersed with old army songs by the G. A. R. All old soldiers, whether they belong to the Grand \riuy or not, are expected to "fall into line," ind the citizens generally are invited to onie ind see the grand picture. Bring your wives ind daughters along. Let the boys bring their jirls and all join in an old fashioned "camp ire." Doors open at 7 o'clock. Admission free. BY OKDEK OF THE COMMITTEE. Laws of 1883.

Stepping into the • I house of Joseph Baldauf, nearby, lie obtained 1 | a light and he and Baldauf, and Samuel Mit ' ! chell and another man who happened to be 1 passing examined the premises, and discovered ; J not only a horse, which is of a light gray color | aud which Kennedy had first noticed, but also | an overturned wagon and two dead bodies lying in the gutter at the foot of the embankment. 1 | The bodies were recognized as those of Harry ■ ! Costly, of Clearfield township, and his mother, i Mrs. Costly, who for some time has been living in the little shanty back of t hris. Stock's tin I store, in Butler, and who has lee i supporting | herselt by washing. On the giound near them I was found material for a Thanksgiving dinner, I some candies, etc. There were no bruises up >u j j their persons excepting slight ones upon his I face and her band, and no bones broken, but f the physicians called to the inquest discovered I evidences of internal injuries which caused their death. Mr. Kennedy caine to Butler and notified Esq. Keek, who, with Drs. Pillow and Graham ami some others, went to the spot where the bodies were lying and held an in quest. The bodies were then removed to Mr. Baldauf's andpiext morning taken to Costly's I home, in Clearfield township. The horse, I which was lying at the foot of the embank i in en t, tangled in the harness and unable to i | move was released. It had evidently turned j from the main road into the side road leading | to Samuel Mitchell's, and Cosily, discovering the mistake, had tried to make a turn while on the embankment, thus precipitating the whole party over it. Mr. Costly had, with his mother, started from Butler for his home in Clearfield township about dusk, and the accident must have happened between six and seven o'clock, as their bodies weie discovered about seven. He is said to have been drinking that afternoon aud a bottle containing whisky was fouud on his person, after (lie accident. It was not broken. Mr. an I Mrs. Costly, the old couple, resided ou the Duffy farm in Clearfield town ship, until about one year ago, when Costly de serted her. since which time she has been living in Butler. They were very poor people and the expenses of the funeral will likely have to be paid by the township. Mr. Costly was a married man about 36 years of age and leaves a wife and five small children behind him. To the Citizens of Butler. A supper and musical entertainment will be gived at tbeOrphuDs' Home on Tuesday evening,. Dec. 11,1883, for the benefit of tbe Home. Supper will begin at 4 o'clock p.

Our object is, first, to benefit the Home and tbe orphans, second to get all our people acquainted with the Su perintendent aud his family, and to foster and build up a more earnest and general interest in this our only charit able institution. Our aim will be to make the evening profitable to the Home and pleasant to the visitors. Our desire is that every citizen of But ler will lend a hand, aud help make it a success.
