BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. I WTC. NE6LEY, PROP'BS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butler us gecond-clcsss matter. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 2, 1884. 1884. COCRT next week for trial of civil causes. THERMOMETER 30 degrees above zero on New Year's morning. A CALENDAR lor 1884 will be found in the CITIZEN this week. SOME communications not appearing this week will on next week. THE trial of yonng Natt will com mence at Pittsburgh next week. Wo will give our readers as full an account of the proceedings as possible. To a friend who inquires we state that there ha 3 been no Mercantile Ap praiser appointed for this county yet by the Commissioners —that we know of. To our offer, to furnish an agricul tural paper to all subscribers paying up arrears, a large number responded, and we have sent on their names for the paper commencing with the January number. THE County Auditors meet next week, to audit, adjust and settle the financial business of the county for the past year. This report will be looked to with interest as the business affairs of the county are growing in import ance. DURING the past week or ten days we have added a number of new sub scribers to the CITIZEN list. As 1884 promises to be a year full of exciting and important events, now is the time to take a paper, thus commencing with the year. Our County Affairs. The burning of the Court House, and tbe consequent increase of taxation, make the present a very important period in the history of our county. What the additional taxes are to be will depend on the cost of reconstruc tion of the building, and this will de pend much on the manner of the recon struction, whether rebuilding or re pairing. So far as public opinion has been expressed it seems to be almost unanimous that the building can be re paired, and should be as soon as possi ble. The present board of County Commissioners are having and no doubt will have* many difficult questions to deal with and settle. They should have the aid of the best counsel they can obtain. From circumstances the people are somewhat uneasy on this matter. If the Commissioners have not competent counsel at present they should speedily procure euch, one in whose integrity tbe public has reason to rely. The present counsel is known to be the real editor of one of our papers and there are pretty big straws in its last issue to show which way the wind is blowing. There is much more danger of him ''drifting under the con trol of the insurance companies," than there is of any of our other editors, as he insinuates last week. It may be well for the county if he is not "led into temptation," as it is believed he could not "resist temptation." By the past we judge the future, and on this safe principle ho will, at least, bear watching, not only by tbe tax-payers of the county but by his present em ployers, the County Commissioners. There need be no trouble about the amonnt the insurance companies must pay. They must pay to the amount of their insurance if the actual loss is that amount. This is the only question in regard to the Court House fire. If the loss by the fire is to the amount of the insurances the companies must pay, without regard to any other question. We might refer to other points now of interest. But only one other will we at present, as in that is shown the motive and purpose of this counsel and editor to mislead the public, and per haps to throw dust into the eyes of his employers. lie criticises, last week, the action of the .ludges of our in their new temporary quarters, for suggesting that a watchman should be appointed to natch and guard the bnilding from fire. This was suggest ed by tbe Court on account of, and for the safety of the record #, the loss of which, as the Judge remarked, could not bo estimated, hnt would he an un told loss to the people of the county, as, among other things, many of the titles to property would be endangered. Notwithstanding the gravity of this matter, this counsel and editor treats the opinion of the Court as one involv ing expense and says the Court ought "to detail one of the tipstaves for that purpose." Now all know that tip staves arc only employed and paid while the Court is in session. How could tipstaves watch the building when no Court was in session ? To appoint one of them would save no ex pense, and ono not a tipstave might as well then be appointed; as indeed the Commissioners have done, by appoint ing the son of one of their number, Mr- Cochran, who wc believe will make a good and safe watch. We merely refer to this small matter to expose the well known animosity and practice ot this •ditoT towards some of our judges, lie sides, this matter of a watchman's ex. pense was but a blind, a stopping at the spigot, while it is at the "bung hole" tbe people bav* reason to Jook «nd fear, and will 1* on iwtcb.. Next Primary Election. We have been frequently asked as to the time the Republican primaries will be held this year. Our answer has been that it may depend some oil the time fixed for the Slate Convention. The National Convention is already fixed for the 3d of June, and as no , State Convention is allowed, under tbe I present rules, to be held earlier than 30 days from the National one, our j State Convention will probably be held this year at or about the 3d of May. j Should it be called to meet about that time, first of May, or at a later period ; in the month, some are of opinion that the primaries might be held this year shortly before, in order that the delegates to the State Convention can be elected at the same time. As the delegates to the State Conventions have now to be elected this would ac complish both purposes at tbe one pri mary and thus save tbe Republican voters the trouble and time of two elections, one for delegates to tbe State Convention and one for the selection of the county ticket. This would make our primary earlier this year than usual, and might be satisfactory. But if not, then there will oi necessity either have to be two primary elections this year, or the February spring election used to elect the delegates to the State Convention. This latter suggestion we have heard made, and it is regarded by many as a good one, inasmuch as all voters generally attend the t ebruary or spring elections and would therefore be put to no inconvenience to elect said delegates. Before that time, spring election, it will be known very likely when tbe State Convention will meet and then our County Committee can act accordingly. This trouble can only come on years of Presidential elections, or every fourth year. Oi'R publication of the Governor's veto message of the pay bill, passed by the late Legislature, appears to have thrown a scribbler in the Eagle into hysterics. He seems to have been awfully frightened on reading it—went into convulsions in fact—and became bewildered to such an extcDt as to actually forget himself and sign bio true name to his anonymous communis cation. "Nemo'' was the most appro, priate signature he poaaibly could have signed for himself. A "Nobody," a "Nothing," for that is what "Nemo'' means. We will not dispute with him the title he gave himself, for it was the proper one. It is known that hid abil ity does not lay in bis bead ; is not to be found upon any record or page of his public service ; is in fact a blank, nothing, or '•nemo." lie may be grown big physically, by feeding upon the public pap. Hut that is noreasoD why the readers of the CITIZEN, or of any paper, should be deprived of seeing and reading a message ot the Governor of their State, a public document. All the Republican papers of tbe State, so far as we have noticed, with one excep tion, and that at home here, published the said Governor's message, as news for their people. We copied it from a Republican paper, "head lines" and all. And if Mr. Nemo tl.inks that is not Republican he will find "the woods full" of Republicans that differ very much with him. He has but to come out and give his name to the public to prove all we here say about hita. Will he do it ? We dare him to. COM MUNIC AT ION S. Harrisville. December 27, 1883. MESSRS. Ens:—After thanking you for the wishes of a Merry Christmas, and the pleasing story of how to "pop the question out of a meal sack," given in your last, I wish to say that tbe peo ple of this township seemed to have a Merry Christmas. The day was pleas ant, the sleighing good, and all who could secure sleighs seemed be enjoying them mid jingling bells and merry greetings. The principal feature of at traction in the evening was the Liter ary at the Gildersleeve school house, wbere many from this and adjoining townships gathered to hear a debate on tbe question "Was Governor I'attison justifiable in vetoing the Pay Bill," which wan debated in a spirited man ner by J. Cochran, J. K- Cubbison and other?. Good order was observed in the bouse, although after the adjourn ment some symptoms of the "ardent" were manifested. MILO. Mercer Township. December 17 th, 1883. MESSRS. Eds:—ln your issue of 12th I noticed a report of a school in tfai« township called the "The Whiteoak Point School." There is no such school in Mercer township. The school referred to is the Gildersleeve school. It is a new building and after its com pletion pome two years ago, at a regu lar meeting of the Board of Directors they named the school house "The Gildersleeve School," as he lives near it, and it is built on a part of his farm, the Directors having bought the land from him when none others owniug land in a suitable locality seemed will ing to sell land to the Directors in fee for that purpose. The attempt on the part of some persons to arbitrarily change tbe nenie looks like contempt of the action of the Board who named it, or a spirit of envy either of which does not appear to mo as commend; able. Mr. Gildersleeve is well known as an educational and public spirited man, fully wofthy tjie honor conferred on him by the Board i«i naming the house for him—by which' name it htia known. Besides, it is customary to call a school by the name of the person ot» whose farm it has been built, and why sow.3 persons who are not mem bers of the bow~4 have tried to change the name without an, authority of the Board, I do not understand for the eMpons above mentioned and woyid Irti glad if so#i* one who does under stand would givereat!o>i« ;y by it should be changed from the name given it by the Directors who built it XXIM I'lM- - CALENDAR FOR 1884«cnr~ «• is 1 § isl jj lg;■< 1111 ist s I J!I if I»J Is £ C, >f. £ x X E- £r- - « Jan - 'r, '7 8 910 111-' May - '4 o'fi '7 8 910 Sepl ' 7 8 9 1011 12 13 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 11 12 13-14 15 16 17 14151017181920 20 "21 22 23 24 25,26 1& 10 20i21 -2 23 24 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 •>7 28 203031.-.- 25 26 27 282930.. 282930 _ " ...1 2 , 1 2345 67; 0 1234 3 4 ft 6 7 8 0 June 8 (il(i 11 12 13 14 5 6 7 8 910 11 10 li 12 13 14 15 16 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 17 IS 10 20 21 22 23 22 23 24 25 26 27 2> 19 20,21 22 23 24 2o 24 25 26 27 28 29.. 29 30... 2*'> 27 28 29 30 31 .. j;. i 2 3 4 5 Nn 1 Mar ' *3 456 7 S July " 678910 11 12 V " 2 : 4:<6 7 8 910 1112 13 14 15 13 14 15 16 17 IS 10 9 1011 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22|! 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 16 17 18 10 2<» 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 20 27 28 29 30 31 . . . - 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 .. .. .. - Allg . 345 cS - j) Dec .. 1 2 3 4 5i 6 P 678910 11 12 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 7801011 12 13 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 17 18 1920 21 22 23 14 15 16| 17 18 19 20 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 ,27j28 29 30j 31 1 t! 28 29 30 31 Singing Class.

MESSRS. EOS: —By request of tbe j bereft friends, we wish to write in < memory of our departed friend, Mr. j John Rosenberry, who was born in j and resided in Allegheny twp., Butler j county, Pa., to the good old age of 76 years. On Sabbath evening 23d Mr. Rosenberry came in from hi 3 barn, I when about to enter the door of his ' bouse he had a paralytic stroke and J fell prostrate on the porch; his daugh ; iarjand grand-daughter were aroused by j the noise and csnw to his assistance, j The aged father railieu sou.ewhat from j the stroke, and with the assistance oi j the girls he was taken into the house ■ and placed on a chair. Other help was summoned and he was placed in bed; by times he was apparently con scious and iyopld try f<> answer when the friends would speak to him- Re?. J. II Coulter called to see him op Monday atte.'ucoß. }{c answered a few questions in a faint whisper; frorp I this Jime he was unconscious until Tuesday at 0 A. M , when mid the tears and sobs of his daughters and other irLoatjs his soul went up to its God to share the biisafn} triumphs of a well gpeut Christian life. Wednesday at 11 4. V,., the funeral service was con- j ducted by Rev. J. R. Coulter. The large attendance at the funeral gave satisfactory evidence that the ueceascr : was a good neighbor, a (food citizen, faithful to his fellow creatures and loyal to his church and his God. lie bad the confidence of all who were ac quainted with him. The bereft daugh ter in the lonely nod the other daughter and all the friends oaye the heartfelt sympathy of all around them. God bless tbe mourners. J. T. Prospect Events, The high school literary is quite a resort for our town folks. Old and young, little and big, interested and uninterested attend to hear the boys and girls read, declaim, sing and de bate. James McGowon is president. The stave business has become an immense thing in this section. One mill is between I'fOopactand Mt. Chest nut, on the Moore farm; anoiwet cQ;*f.h west of Prospect, on the Shanor farm Erazier Bros, have taken lanje contracts to put in timber. All in all, it is a good thing for those that have plenty of wood-laud. A couple of our prominent web had u singular time making sausage, not ion# pince. The meat persevereu in coming oat where it was put in. By pure force worw ami a great deal of time, the meat was finally put throijcb the regular course; and w hen all was done, lo'. at»d behold! the cause be came obvious—the roJJ;;rs ought to have been end for end. Our business men have done a wisu thing in providing good street lamps before their respective places of busi ness. A few more could be used tu a good advantage, l.ai lis have them.
