—I f the present Congress wants to do some
thing tbat will l>e appreciated by the whole
Nation, with the exception of a few Louisiana
planters, it will take the tariff off raw sugar
and not bother the Internal Revenue unless it
be to übolifch it. That the Nation should be
taxed some forty million* of dollars annually,
to protect an industry that does not grow and
cannot grow on account of our climate, and the
production of which is buta minute fraction of
the consumption, seems to us to be an impo
sition. The last Congress reduced t!ie tariff
slightly, but the reduction seems to have no
effect 011 the retail price ' 'the article.

County Commissioners, however, will probably

Main street, opj>osite Wick's hotel, and now
used by the English Lutheran congregation for
both a church and parsonage, an there are
enough rooms th?re for all the offices, besides
the church room, which is large enough for a
court room. Rev Waters is willing to move
out immediately. Sheriff Donaghy has remov
ed his office temporarily to the jail building;
Treasurer Miller, his to the furniture store;
Register Christie to the Brady building; Pro
thonotary Greer to Williams <fc Mitchell's of

—An effort i* being made to break the will
of Jerry Malonry, of Clearfield township, who
died last Spring, and who, shortly before his
death, signed a will leaving his wife all his
property, with the exoeotion of .i 11500, #SOO
each to two nieces and one nephew, who lived
with them. 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.

! —There are no persons selling beer, etc.,in this
county by virtue or otherwise of a Treasurer's
license, ami if there wer& their cases would
have Iteen before the Grand Jury of last week,
as the Supreme Court has decided against these
licenses, and the Auditor General has notified
all the Oistnct Attornies of the State of the de
cision. 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 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."

Donavin's Famous Ten :essee»ES, Colo-ed
Coucerters,who were organized by tneir pres

auspices of the Freedman's Aid Society, and
the same company that so materially assisted
in singing up Central College at Nashville,
Tenn., are to give one of their novel entertain
meats in the M. 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.

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.

BUTLER, December 11, 1883.
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.

GREENSBITU;, Dec. With the

while B-jwser sat restlessly on his chair

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;
