The Butler Mutual is a reliable institution. —On Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, there fell the heaviest snow of which we or any person of whom we have enquired, have any recollection. Measured, ou the level or in the woods, it was two feet in depth, and it seriously interfered with traveling of all kinds, the carrying of the mails, etc. During the winter or 55-58 a very heavy snow fell, which drifted badly, but it was not as deep on an average, as this one was. —A terrible accident happened at Troutmau last Friday. While James Dunlap was up in a derrick insisting to pull the rods, he lost his balance and fell to the lloor, some sixty feet below. He struck on his feet with such force as to shatter his legs and drive his spiue into his brain, causing death almost instantly. He was about 2'! years of age, was a son of John Dunlap, dee'd, and was the main support of his mother. —Light running Domestic Sewing Machines Jos Niggle & Bro. Agents, Butler, Pa. tf —Mr. Nicholas Middendorf, living on the old Murrin farm, near Slurriusville, th!s county, had a hard battle with the snow last Wed nesday. Coming from Franklin to his home, on horseback, when near Bullion his horse missed the mad-track and fell into a drift, cov ering It to its head. Mr. Middendorf had to dig it out with his hands, which was a long and laborious task, and by the time he and the ani mal reached home he found one of hiH hands badly frozen, so badly that he may lose it alto gether. llis description of his struggles with the snow andsiorm of that day for alxiut eight miles is truly wonderful. The snow was about four feet deep iu that part of Venango county. —A terrible tragedy occurred near Duke Centre, McKean county, a few days since. Four little children of J. V. Garvey, employed by the Keystone Oil Company ou the Kinzua branch, whose ages ranged from one to six years, were burr.ed to death in Mr. tiarver's nouse, which was consumed by fire. The little ones were left alone in the house while their mother went on an errand, when the dwelling took fire from over pressure of gas. and in a few minutes, owing to the high winds that prevail ed, was entirely destroyed. The fire burned with such ferocity that it was impossible to rescue the children, and all perished in the (lames. Their bodies were taken from the ruins about an hour after, and thay presented a most horrible sight. The parents were almost crazed by the terrible affair. -The Pennsylvania Railroad's important in quiry into the color blindness of its employes lias recently been completed, with some signifi cant results. Dr. William Thomson, the ophthalmologist, by whom the work was con ducted, finds that the average number of train hands having defective color sense is between four and live per cent., but those absolutely color blind and unable to distinguish between a gray and green or a green and red flag are fully four per cent. One very important conclusion he reaches is that while the defect is generally congenital it iB sometimes caused bv disease or injury. It has too often been assumed that it is constitutional, ami that when once a railroad company has weeded out the color-blind signal men from its service those who are left may l»e always relied on to distinguish signals. But if the commonest form of this disease—"red blind ness"—may be acquired by those once fully able to stand the tests employed by the ophthal mologist, all train men should be examined froui time to time. A high French authority states that "color disease may be produced by straining the eyes in dim light." We might therefore expect that railway employes and sea men would he especially liable, however perfect their color vision may originally have been, to develop either partial or absolute color blind ness. It is rather startling to be told that "one man in twenty-five" is found unfit for service where prompt recognition of color signals is re quired. Pome who are color blind do indeed distinguish correctly between danger and safety t>fs, but, as Dr. Thomson suggests, they are guided by form, not by color. It might be some security, therefore, to make every danger signal peculiarly recognizable by both its. form and color. or lt-ave your or>l<*r for a Sewing Ma cliiuu, of Huy make, at E.

At the latter bouse he wanted tlie t'lerk to give him a room, but was refused, as Linn took him for a crazy man. But he was furnisned with some clothes, when he left for the Wick House where he was stop ping. The man who cre.-ted this sensation is a respected citizen of Sunbury, this connty. He had returned to his hotel, the Wick House, late that night and rinding it closed, went up to the Vogeley House and got a bed, and soon after had a fuss with two Sunbury and two Butler men who came into the same room one of them having a bed there. \\ ho started the fus a , we don't know, as the parties give different versions of the affair. Two of the men are brothers in law and one brother in-law and bis friends were too much for the other brother-iu-law, who sought safety in flight, and who claims to have been cut with a knife aud otherwise badlv- abused. —Whoever h&s followed the discusßion of the red sunsets must have realized bv this time that the limitations of modern science are nar row, and that though even scientific men do not like to acknowledge ignorance perhaps, yet the only absolutely truthful answer that can he giyen to questions as to the origin of the phe nomenon is: I don't know ! For that is the simple and obvious fact. We iiave ceased to believe that red sunsets prognosticate war i r pestilence, or the death of great men, or the rise or downfall of dynasties: but we know no more than our ancestors did of the ical cause of these occurrences. Our scientists suggest all manner ot explanations : but none of them are more than conjecture, and some of them lack the merit even of plausibility. And so we flounder amid theories of meteoric dust, cosmic dust, volcanic dust, coinetary bodies, vapor and KO forth, but we do not know the origin of the red sunsets we admire; and perhaps the greatest advance in this direction of which we can lioast lies in the fact that we are no longer afraid of unusual phenomena, and have learned that strange things may happen without portending either good or evil to the human race. — Ex. —The squabble for the coutroi of the Sharps ville ( Mercer county > railroad was argued be fore Judge Bred in last Friday night, .fudge Mehard, of Mercer county, having certified it over on account of his having been counsel on the matter. Rosa Thompson, Esq., of Erie, appeared for the Scott interest, and Sfrimahan and Griffith, Ksq'rs, of Mercer, for the Pierce interest. The following is Judge Urcdin's de cision in the matter: The numlier of shares in this company is 7,000, of which 414 are in dis pute, though standing on the books in the name of Walter Pierce. This leaves .hares, of which .'1,302 are owned by Walter Pierce et al., defendants, and their adherents, and 3,2.54 by W. L. Scott, plaintiff, and his adherents, ft follows that under the cumulative system of voting, which, it is fair to presume, both parlies well understand, neither party can elect more than three of the six directors to be elected. As the Pierce party have a majority of the stock not in dispute and the advantage of the books in their favor as to that in dispute, it is but reasonable that that party should select the President. We can see no reason to apprehend irreparable injury to plaintiff, and therefore the injunction is r-jfused —During a recent cold snap when the ther mometer registered at zero and below, ninety nine citizen* out of one hundred had something to SAT about 'zero;" but perhaps not one in a hundred could have told ott-hahd why a point thirty-two degrees below the freezing point on Fahrenheit's thermometer is called zero. For that matter, nobody knows. The Fahrenheit scale was introduced in 1720, and like other thermometeric scab's it has two fixed points, the freezing point, or rather the melting point of ice, and the boiling point of water. The Centigrade and Reaumur scales call the freez ing point zero and measure therefrom in both directions. This is a very natural arrange ment. Fahrenheit kept the principal on which he graduated his thermometers a secret and no one has ever discovered it. It is supposed, however, that he considered his zero—thirty two degrees l»elow freezing—the point of abso lute *!old or absence of all heat, either because, being about the tern pen tK re of melting salt and snow it was the greatest degree of cold that he could produce artificially or because it wtis the lowest natural temperature of which he could find any record. The grounds on which Fahrenheit put one hundred and eighty de grees between the freezing and boiling points are likewise unknown. Change of Time.

From the Pittsburgh Oaztttt of Monday.] At the Academy of Music on Saturday after noon Gertie Seaiuon, an actress tilling an en gagement at that place, her little daughter u bom she had not seen lor twelve years. This little girl'« name is Mae Anderson. She is fourteen years old and lives with her grahdpar ents at Butler, Pa. Her father, Leon Ander son, is a printer on the Post in this city. The mother was Mr. Anderson's wife at one time, but bv a mutual understanding in 1871 they parted, and divorces were procured by each, subsequently. By this agreement the father was to retain possession of the child. The young gjrl was given every facility for acquir ing an education, improvtd ber opportunities and is to-dry a highly accomplished youug lady, who enjoys the respect and esteem of the good jieople of Butler. Miss Anderson has lived all along in blissful ignorance of her par ents' history and the mother's whereabouts. Having ouly recently recovered from au attack ot fever, her father brought her to Pittsburgh last week to regain her strength. It is a strange coincidence that the Mother now the wife of Mr. Chas. C. Seaiuon should be in the city playing an engagement at the Academy as a vocalist. Learning of the child's visit t > town, Mrs. Seamou wrote Mr. Anderson re peatedly, asking for au interview with th? girl, whom she had not seen since she was three years old. Mr. Anderson decided the mother should see the child provided the latter desir ed au interview, and at the request ot Mrs. Seaiuon the father took a box at the theatre on Saturday afternoon and took the child to see the play. They witnessed ths play until it was ended, then all repaired to a hotel, where au affectionate interview was had between mother and daughter. Mrs. Seainou's present husband had entirely approved of his wife's desire to see her daughter, and joined with the lady in making such request to Mr. Anderson. This statement is made by Mrs Anderson for the purpose of correcting false reports publish ed in a Sunday paper. THE NOVEL TY IRON WORKS. Just Opened—On Mifflin Street.

Geo. W. Shaffer, Agent offlco with K. Marshall Esq., Brady Block Butler Pa. mayl7-tf —Spang New Fumily Sewing Ma cliiuo lor $20.00, Foster Versus Berg. This case had its second trial in our courts last week, and was as hotly con tested as has been any case tried here for many a year. The jury last spring found for Berg, but the plaintiff, on some alleged defect in the Judge's charge, took the case to the Supreme Court and had the judgment set aside. This time the verdict is for Foster in the sum of £7,711 fi-, being $">,050 00 with nearly nine years' interest. Berg considers the verdict an outrage, hr.s made a motion for a new trial and v. i;l fight the thing as far as possible. The court stenographer here has written the following account of the transactions leading to the suit: In April, 1875, A. B White, of But ler, Pa., a dealer in crude petroleum, applied to tbe Bergs for the loan of $15,000. He represented that he had oil in the Union Pipe Line, and with the money would purchase more oil, which should be pledged as collateral. A note for SIO,OOO at 30 days, with a clause relating to 10,000 barrels of oil put up as collateral, to be used, sold or hypothecated by bergs, and when the note was paid to retrun a like quantity of oil, was made by A. B While. Then White telegraphed J. Y. Foster to notify the pipe company to transfer the oil. Foster telegraphed Mr. Eastwick, the general agent, "Place 10,000 bar rels pipeage paid oil to the credit of John Berg k Co., as collateral for A. B. White's note of SIO,OOO, and notify them by wire and letter " Mr. East wick did notify Bergs by wire and let ter of the transfer, and that it was col lateral for White's note. Iu May fol lowing a similar transaction in regard to a loan of $5,000 on a pledge of 5,000 barrels of oil was had. A. B. White got the proceeds of the SIO,OOO note placed to his credit in the bank of which Foster was cashier, and with that credit his account was still overdrawn to a large amount. Two days afterward Foster, without White's knowledge or consent, made a memorandum check, taking SIO,OOO front White's and trans ferring it to bis own individual account aud permitted White to check out the SIO,OOO as though it still remained to his credit. In Juue and July, 18T5, and before the maturity of White's notes the Bergs gave three orders of 5,000 bar rels each to A. B. White for the oil standing in their name, and White sold the oil for a sum aggregating 820,050. The Bergs got 515,000, the amount of White's notes, and White got the bal ance, $5,050. In March, 1870, Foster demanded this oil of the Union Pipe Company and was refused. He then sued said company, the case was tried in Kittanning before Judge Boggs, aud resulted in a verdict for the Pipe Corn pan}'. Then Foster waited until with in a few days of six years aud brought suit against the Bergs for trover and conversion, claiming the excess of money was more than necessary to pay White's notes. _ The case was tried last June before Judge Bredin. The plain tiff asked him to instruct the jury that the telegrams passing between Foster, White, East wick and the Bergs were prima facie notice to the Bergs that the oil was Foster's. The court refused the instruction aud left the question to the jary to construe what Berg had a right to believe from the telegrams The jury found for Berg. The case went to the Supreme Court and wus reversed on the ground that it was the duty of the Court below tosay that the telegrams were sufficient to put the Berg 9 on uotice that the oil was Fos ter's, and the case came back for a new trial, which has just ended. The Court instructed the jury as indicated by the Supreme Court and also that if they found from clear and satisfactory evi dence that the oil was White's and not Foster's, to give a verdict for defend ant, otherwise for plaintiff for the amount in dispute, being $5,050, with nearly nine years' interest.

Sad Ending of a Leap Year Proposal. ERIE, January 10.—At on early hour this morning the inmates of the Anchor Line Hotel were aroused by the report of a pistol shot and the falling of a body. Upon bursting open the apartment oc cupied by Miss Aunie OEft, a young girl of 19, she was found stretched upon the floor with a wound iu her left breast from which a stream of blood was flowing. A revolver was lying near the spot. W hen she returned to conciousness she said she had attempt ed to end her lite because of the coldness of her lover, Max Dt-ller, a very respect able young- machinist. She resisted the professional attempts to remove the ball and begged piteously to be allowed to die. The ball was subsequently re moved aud the physicians think the chances for recovery are favorable It appears that the girl became violently attached to young Deller, and he, being engaged to another, did not return her affection He says he has frequently reasoned with her of the folly of har boring hopes that could never be real ized, but she would listen to no argu. ment. On Wednesday night she drew up a formal proposal of marriage, setting forth thai it was leap year, and that it was her privilege to offer herself- She read this to Deller, aud he kindly de clined the honor. "Remember," said she, "if you won't have me. you doom me to death " He still declined and the girl that night obtained possession of a revolver, and after deliberating some hours, arose from her bed, clapped the mnzzle to her heart and fired. The young mau, Deller, was inter viewed by the correspondent. Said he: "I cannot help it. She got no encour agement from me. If a girl chooses to fall in love with me, and blows her head off because I don't happen to be in love with her, I am not responsible. —Major Thomas E.
