The parties who seek to break the will are his relatives whose homes are in lowa, and the question as to whether or no the Court, should direct an issue in the case was argued last Wednesday afternoon. We know nothing of the merits of the case but were amused at Thompson's description of the reasons given for directing an issue as being its logical as the defeuse of the Irishman who, when tea men fcjrore to peeing hirp steal a certain pig, brought in fifty men to swear that they never saw him steal anything, neg.itive testimony that proved nothing. Wc made a note in last Issue of the proceed ings in the case of the Commonwealth vs. John Smith, Esq., up to the departure of the Sheriff and Smith's bondsmen from Butler, for the purpose of bringing the Esq., to Butler. They arrived at his home that night about ten o'clock, got him up and dressed him and took him over to Keister's, where they stayed over night, and to k the train next morning for Butler. The parting scene between Smith and his family is said to have been very affecting, and next morning the family were"at the sta tion and oame to Butler with him. At Butler the trains of the S. Si A. aud West Penn road* stand for a few minutes along side each other, and the Sheriff quietly got the E«q , from one train to the other and had the car doors locked, which prevented another family scene. This was the first he knew of the intention to take him directly to Allegheny. He talked rationally all tho way down, and with assistance walked up to the old penitentiary in the Park, where he was assigned to the hospital department. On Tuesday Smith's bondsmen asked the Court to cancel or annul their bond. This the attorneys for the prosecution objected to aud presented a petition to Court asking that the hail be held am] made liable for the damages or loss to the proseoutors for time spent and expenses incur red in prosecuting Smith, under the aot of July 1'"42, which makes bondsmen liable to be sued in some cases for the benefit of parties injured, costs of suit, compensation of counsel, etc. Smith's bondsmen emphatically deny that his non-appearance on Monday was his fault. They say that he had been informed by one of his counsel that he could appear any day dur ing the session of two weeks. They also speak very highly of Sheriff Donaghy's management, and of his kindness to Smith. —BUCKWHEAT flour at $3.50 per hundred pounds at George Walter's mill, Butler, £a. best Bargain Yet.

The opinion that the Supreme Court affirmed was iu the case of the Commonwealth against Henry Flacke, of Warren, Pa., who was indicted for selling without liceuse. In conclusion the opinion of Judge Brown states, that, "If the law is, as claimed by the counsel for defendant in this case be correct, then any aud every person, citizen and non-citizea, tem perate or intemperate, honest or dishonest may engage in the business ot selling malt or brew ed liquors by the drink, simply by paying the Treasurer the sum of fifty dollars, provided only, that the drink shall be furnished iu a bottle instead of a glass, and that it shall be drank outside the premises of the vendor, in stead ot at his counter or table. We think that sueh is not the law, and say to you, under the admitted facts of the case, the defendant is guilty as charged in the fourth count ot the in dictment. " Under the above it is now con strued by the Auditor General that bottlers must take out a license once in a year, as do the hotel and restaurant keepers, aud through the same chanue's —The large audience that assembled in the Court room last Tuesday eyening, to hear Mr. Munkittrick, of New York—one of the editors of, or writers for Pack learned that a man, a would-be-lecturer, could be so stupified by conceit as not to realize or compre' hend that he was an object of pity and ridicule to his audieuce —of pity to the men and women who bore with him as long as possible before leaving the room, aid of ridicule to the boys, who always try to take the conceit out 01 a fraud. I'he few stale jokes that Mr. Munkit trick mumbled over were audible only to those who sat near him—their sole virtue—and when the audience began dispersing, the boys began hooting and howling, he seemed to mis take their ridicule for applause. In this mat ter our Lecture Association were imposed upon by the Bryant Literary Union, of S'ew \ork, which in turn seems to have been deceived by 11, C. Bunner, editor of Pnek, Robt. J. Burdette, J. W. Riley and the editor of the Burlington Haickeye, whose enthusiastic eudorseu.ents of Mr. M. are published in the circular sent out by the "Union." The next lecture of the course will be on the 27th, inst., by Hon. Geo. R. Wendling, a gentleman whose face is already familiar to us, aud who as a lecturer is well liked here. Ilis subject will be "Satan; or Who, What and Where is the Devil," and those of our readers who choose to attend can rely upon it, that his lecture will be something more than a mere personal illustration of his subject, as was Munkittrick's of his "I he American Goat."

E. Church Tuesday evening, Dec. 18th, Their last visit East was in 1877. They ask the people to judge by their testimonials, among which we notice one direct from Nash ville and signed by the best men of that city, whether they are not far superior to the many insignificant jubilee-singing troupes that have perambulated the State with poor printing and no testimonials at all, comparatively. These "Tennessee Jubilee Singers" were frauds. The Tennesseeans are not "jubilee singers" but are thorough, cultivated musicians, and give a varied entertainment. Picture of Gettysburg.

The Burning of the Court House, Shortly after eight o'clock yesterdav morning' the ventilator on the north side of the court room, through which the pipe of the court room stove passed, I was discovered to be on tire. The lath and plaster were torn oil' and some I water thrown in, and this not being sufficient the Court House hose was ar ranged and a stream thrown up the ventilator which apparently extinguish |ed the fire. But volumes of smoke | were seen escaping from the large ven tilator on top of the roof, and the alarm !of fire was sounded. The two hose ; companies of the town were 'promptly on hands, and in a few minutes had a line of hose up into the attic of the building, and had flooded the ceiling of the Court room, but the fire had al ready gained too great a headway, the large roof-timbers which had stood there for thirty years and which were as dry as powder, were hurniag, aud j it was soon seen that it would be itu- | possible to save the building. The j firemen were driven back by the heat and dense smoke, aud the (lames soon reached the cupola which burned with great fury. Tiie wind was from the south-west, and burning embers were thrown upon the buildings to the north-east, particularly those now oc cupied by Mrs. Sykes, Mr. I'riugle and the Eitenmiller House, all of which were on fire at different times. The roof, cupoia and second floor of the Court House were entirely consumed, but the lower floor was not—it was de luged with water. As far as is known at present, no books or papers were de stroyed, excepting the trial list, minute book, recognizance docket, and some few papers of the (Quarter Sessions Court, that happened to be in the Court room at the time, and the Treasurer's Sales book. All the other books of all the offices were either taken out of the building or put in the vaults—the iron doorsand windows of which were closed. The walls and arches of these vaults are of stone and brick, three feet thick, and everything they contain is in all probability perfectly safe. — BUCKWHEAT flour at $3.50 per hundred pounds, at George Walter's mill, Butler, Pa. —Go to J.

I have been advertising in your paper the SpaDg Xew Family Sewing Machines at very low prices; some per sons think tbev are too low to bejjood. Some fifteen or twenty years ago there were sewingmachines sold in this coun try and in this county lor S2O, and they have been in use ever since, many of them have not cost five cents for re pairs, making as perfect lock st itch sew ing as any $75 or $175 machine ever sold. This was done while metal was selling at not less than SGO per ton, labor more than double what it is to day. To-day metal is worth about S2O per ton, labor very low, why can they not be aoM at these low prices and at a profit? Further, the improved ma chinery th> re is now for working metal, iron ai d .steel, or anything e'se, is more iburj four times what it was twenty y<-:.rs ago. Ten years ago I sold of rent makes of machines, Uyo drawer «!;•:»,> leaf and cover machines, for The companies would not give a incur, rufiler, nor a set of hem mers lor i.ss than SO, 30 per cent, and 25 per c- tit, in making a sale. This had to come off the agent To-day the tucker, ru filer and hemmers can be bought fur seventy-five cents retail. Needles were sold for ten cents; can now be bought for one cent apiece. A word tilMut the Spang New Family Sewing Machines. They are as per fectly built as any sewing machine that is made or ever was made, aud made of just av good material. I personally know of sume five or six machines in this county,(Butler) that were made by the company that build these machines, one of them was sold for s(>o, the bal lance of them for SSO and have been in family for four years, giving per fect satisfaction, and by care will last from lf> t) 20 years. The same styles I will sell for S2O and S3O. About the stitch, tIK-re has been no improvement on the l xsk stitoh for forty years or more. All lock stitch sewing machines have the same stitch when properly made, that is just what the Spang New Family Sewing Machines can do, make a perfect lock stitch. About the running of the different sewing ma chines, there is but very little differ ence iu any of them; the difference is in the oil you use more than the ma chine { fiave seen the Domestic and Singer locked dead-still by using had oil. 1 have worked one hour to make one revolution of the machines. Thou sands of machines have been traded,the parties git no better machine than they h id, only to pay from s:>s to s(io difference. You can remedy all this trouble by* using one cent's worth of lamp oil or benzine. It may r take two or three hours work, running the mi chine at high rate of speed and oiling at the same time freely. When you are done your sewing machine will run as well as ever it did. Call and see bpfore you buy. J. R. SPANG.

With the fiua! decision of his Honor Judge Il;i - i ter, this morninff, the Murraysville murder and riot eases have In settled until th>'V come up iu the Court of I Over and Terminer at next Feb; u try j term. Contrary n> expectation, .:1! prisoners except Bowser were pern it ted to be released uu hail. When the Judge read his decision some of the prisons rs s!i>»v,d ef reii ; a ■ I gratiii.a i >ri. Others were indifferent, while B-jwser sat restlessly on his chair with the prevailing expression of wick ed snllsnness. The attorneys on b >th sides say that if each of these men are tried separately in Criminal Couit it will take six months, and, at all event.-, it will take three months leforeail haye bad a trial by jury. la the mean- ! time the score and more of equity and civil cases pending as to the title and j ownership of the various Murraysville j properties will b3 coming up for trial, and with the opposing forces iu the field now restrained by the hand of the Sheriff, it would seem that the day of final settlement and quietude is indeed afar off. J I'lHiE MI STER'S REMARKS. The prisoners in the Murraysville case being brought in, Judge lluuter said: We have endeavored to give that at tention to these habeas corpus cases now before us that the gravity of the charges demand, and that we may un derstand their nature clearly. This, perhaps, is one of the most unpleasant cases that has come before myself since 1 had the honor to preside in these courts. The position of the counsel for the defense is that the defendants were acting in self-defense. We do not think the position takeu is a good one. It is true that nearly one hundred of the Pew Ac Emerson men had come to where the defendants were at the well, but they went no farther than to oc cupy the board pile owned by Pew, Emerson & Co. There is some ques tion about the property, but the time is not at hand when titles must be de fended and enforced at the point of the bayonet. We have not yet in West moreland county arrived at the day of communism, as it once prevailed in Paris. The learned argument by the counsel lor the Commonwealth, and, indeed, by the counsel on both sides, asks that all such difficulty should be settled according to the law of the land, and that the recent occurrence at Murraysville was against the peace of countrv. It was insisted upon by Mr. Moor head, for the Commonwealth, that where parties assemble for the purpose of doiug an unlawful act, and murder is coma.itted, all are guilty. Such is the English law, but not the law of Pennsylvania. Gentlemen, it is the opinion of the Court that all these men are bailable except Mr. Bowser. The reasons for holdiug Bowser are that he was backed up by a number of armed men. He is a stroDg man, as was Haymaker. He was not in danger of his life. Hence there was no necessity of taking life. The number of fatal wounds are against the prisoner. The bullet wound is not imputed to Bow ser, because it was by a buckshot. But the bayonet tnrusts in the abdo men at the hands of Bowser were fatal. BOWSER'S BAYONET THRUSTS. Was it a willful and deliberate act? Counsel did not touch on this question which has annoyed the Court uot a lii tle. If it had been only a shot among a crowd of men it could only be mu;< der iu the second degree. But theso bayonet thrusts are the essence of mur der in tho first degree, with a specific iutent to kill, and there is no doubt about the killing. Hence, however, unpleasant the duty may be, 1 am un willing to release Mr. Bowser on bail The other men will be admitted to bail on giving good aud suflicient security in the following amounts; Milton Weston, $S,000; Colonel Archibald Blakeley, $8,000; Dr. J.
