Oar towa has been quite lively, in j a political way, the past two days. The meeting of the Republican County Committee, for the purpose of deter mining the question as to the pri- j mark*, brought together not only tho members of tbe County Committee, bat tbe candidates is well, and many other Republicans of the county. Two primaries, it will be seen, have been ordered: one on April 5, for tbe election of three delegates to the Har riaburg State Convention and one del . cgate to the Cbirego National Con vention, in connection with the coun ties of Crawford and Mercer ; tbe Convention, present t'ounty Commit tee, to meet in Butler on tbe following Monday, April 7, '-<• cast up the vote ob delegates and declare tbe results The second primary waa called for May 24. to nominate tbe county ticket, flOJavention to meet in Butler on fol lowing Monday, May *26, to declare results at the same. Thus it will bo seen that tbe great object contended fir, tbe right of the people to elfcct tb» ;r delegates to the State and National Conventions, has been secured. The sentiment for a *p«cial primary f.r that object, became ,*o strong that it could not be resisted The Committee ac ed wisely and well in every respect, and we fully approve of its proceedings. The wishes of the Republicans of tbe county have been respected. * vote taken in the Committee ahow ,- d Blaine almost the unanimous ch-vice of Butler county for President. Full proceedings next week. Personal. —Dr. Alfred Cr» igb, of WashiDgtoD, | ?•., ha« for some day» past been on a visit to his son-in-law, Re*. Oiler, pas tor of the Presbyterian Church of this plftce Some forty years ago we bad tbe pleasure of seeing Dr. Creigb in "Little Washington," and bad not seen him siora uutil his visit bere now to bis daughter #nd son-in-law. Of course , he, like all others has changed with , the change of years, and from tbt tben young man he is now venerable in age and clothed white white locks. He is a vary intelligent and agreeable gentle man and in conversation was very en tertaining in his account of men and things as existing now at Washington and forty years ago. We were pleased to again meet hi • and hope be may often come and visit bis friends here. ' Our town hat been visited by many of the citizens of the county within tbe past fev. weeks Last week nearly all of Brady twp , were present as witnesses in the Croll case. Among them we met Jonathan Clutton, Esq., 8. W. Moore, R. F Glenn, Daniel Mc- Deavitt apd John P. Thompson. Mr. Thomas McClymouds of that twp, was also In town The case excited much interest but the jnry failed to a^rec. Rev. O. W. Critehlow, of Prospect, preached a very imtrnctive sermon in tbe English Lutheran Church of this placn la?t Sundav morning. Rev. Waters on tbe s*wne day filled the pnl pit of the church ut West Liberty. Miss Sarah M-Quistion returned home last Saturday from a week's visit to her friend Miss Nannie McOarvey of Fairview twp., this county. Dr. William Irvine, who had been it] and confined to his home at Evans City, this county, has s> recovered as to be able to be in town this week on business.

Washington, I) C . March 1 —Tbe Capital piiuts the following about tbe : Uniontown poatoffice: This week tbe president received a touching letter from Lizzie Nutt. of Uniontown. Pa., tbe girl, as everybody kn-.ws, whose father lost his life in de-i fending her precious reputation, and whose brother was recently acquitted of the murder of her slauderer. >be asked to be appointed postmistress of ibat town. Her letter is written with the most delicate tast. aud she describes her situation with modesty and dignity. The penmanship would muster before tbe Civil Service Reform Com oiigsiou and tbe form iu wbieb the l*-t --ter appears is quite business like She aavs being aware that tbere is a vacan cv in tbe post cfflce she has been ad vised bv friends to apply for tbe appointment, aud believes ber*elf to be possessed of the necessary qualifications The terrible trouble whicb her family have recently passed through have left them not only tatherless. but im poverished, and there are five little children dependent upon ber brother and herself. Sbe makes no further al lusion to the recent tragedies, but a*k* that if the President finds upon inves tigation that she is qualified to per form tbe duties of postmistress be will give her the appointment and -signs ber letter, "Very respectfully, Lizzie Xutt."

This oil district, being long-lived or lasty territory, has the pros|»ect of being drilled over again in tbe near future. J. McKee bas tbe lumber on the ground and three rigs contract ed for, on tbe R. Turner tarm, and it is very likely that some boles will be drilled on the 'Squire John Kelly farm this coming Hummer. The township election was "enthus ed" somewhat by the appearance of the Prohibition ticket, which on the main was a very fair one. but was "beaded off" by the Citizen-' ticket (Democrats and Republican) headed Republican, except in one or two in stances. The Prohibitionists have been in the habit of putting up a straight ticket for some years, and have grown rather strong, but tbe uuion ot the old parties defeats them.

JUNKS. Moral Uses of Junk. Mr J. M Stinson. while at the S. A A. station iu this place, came across a portion of an old journal tha' was en route for tbe paper mill, and clung to it for its age and unusual con cuts. There is nothing in the b .ok to locate It, though a loose receipt therein bears date of Butler 12th March. 1*33, which would imply that the relic belongs to that ancient town The fragment, opens iu 180fi and closes in I*ll John Brown seems to have boen the <,wuei of tbn book, HO(1 the IIH principally for whiskey aud beer. One entry so impressed Mr Stiusou's artistic mind that be made a sketch of it, wtiich latter, together with the fragment, is in our possession. The particular en try reads thus: "Feb 2fi.

We suppose the cow will be added to the collection in due time also.
