We add a few more names to our announce ment column this week, aud yet there is room ud time for more. —Butterine seems to be leading genuine but ter as a salable article in the Pittsburgh mar ket. The reason is simply that it is better than much of the butter brought to market. —W. L. Young, a son of S. P. Young, of Summit township, killed two wild geese with one discharge from a shot gun last Friday.

We have one of his county maps of the United States, and can heartily recommend them. —Some enterprising citizens of Millerstowii and vicinity have organized an Agricultural Sosciety, bought ground, and will build the necessary buildings for holding a Fair next Fall. —At a meeting of the new town council of Butler, March 3rd. Jacob Keck waseleoted Pres ident; Cas. Rockenstiia, Treasurer; F. M Eastman, Secretary: J. L. Purvis, Fire Marshal; G. C. Pillow, Engineer; Al. Reiber, Chief and L. Kwk and H. C. Heineman, Assistant En gineers of the fire department. A Washington county man who was recently elected to the office of justice of the peace had a man before, charged with theft, a few days ago. Feeline the dignity of his office the justice heard the evidence and after doe deliberation sentenced the prisoner to the penitentiary. That's right. He is a justice as is a justice. —Mr. J. H. Harvey has opened a paint shop in Reiber's block, on Jefferson street, opposite the Lowry House, where orders can be left for paper hanging, painting, calsomining. window blind hanging, etc., and where he ha* on hands a stock of wall papers, borders, paints, brushes, window-glass, putties, etc. Mr. Harvey is spoken of as a man who knows his businew. —A letter from John H. McCaslin, who went to Kansas from Butler township, this connty, some fonr vears ago, states that while he is getting along reasonably well, yet that he suffered a loss last fall by fire, having had bis stable, a horse, harness, corn and crib, and other property hurned. His friends here will regret to hear of his misfortune. —The plan adopted for ventilating the new Court House and jail building of Allegheny county, at Pittsburgh, in a novel one, and is in effect an adaptation of the system successfully used in deip mines. A tower is to be erected 250 feet in hight, the top of it reaching the elevation of the hills that surround the city, and reaching above the ordinary stratum of smoke. From this elevation a strong cur rent of pure, or comparatively pure, air will be drawn downward by a sucaing apparatus work ed by powerful engines in the jail building. Brought to the basement, this npper air is to be cleansed by washing and filtering.aud thence, warmed when necessary, it will be passed by numerous inlets and outlets through every room of the two buildings. It is impossible to pro vide against the indolence and stupidity of or dinary appointment*, but experience in many large hospitals and prisons, AS well as mines and manufactories, shows that with an ade quately large apparatus of this description, and honest and disciplined service, a perfectly wholesome atmosphere can be maintained. —License Court last Friday morning and continued till about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, during which time all the applica tions from the ditferent townships and boroughs, with the exception of those from Butler borough, were heard. The applications from Butler will not be heard until after the Jury trials—probably next week—and as the lioenses granted last year expire to-day, the bars of the town will be closed for a few days. Remonstrances on the grounds of the bouses not being necessary for the accommodation of the travelling public, or exceptions to individ ual applicants came in from all points of the county, excepting Petrolia, Millerstown, Knrns City and Harmony. The remonstrances from the soath-easfern part of the county were sign ed by several hundred persons, and again blasted the hopes of the Saxonburg hotel keep ers. The list of licenses granted can be seen in the "Court News" column. All the others, a» far as heard were refused excepting those from Evans City, which are held under advise ment, and those of J. B. Daugherty, of Petrolia, Jas. T. Wilson, of Coaltown, W. J. Adams, of Ililliard, and E. E. Goehring, of Petersville, which were withdrawn. —lf there is in the United States a strip of country that is being more rapidly utilised for manufacturing purposes than any other, that strip is the valley of the Allegheny from Free port to Pittsburgh. Both sides of the river between these two points are lined with gla.se, glue, phosphate and other factories, oil refiner ies, paper mills, fruit preserving works, and other industrial establishments. The hills on both sides of the valley are full of coal, and this cheap fnel with the railroad facilities is, qo doubt, the magnet that draws the manufac turers. But as far as coal is concerned, Butler is fully as favorable a location, and we have, or at least will have after the P. A W. R. R. is widened to the standard gunge next Spring, vastly superior railroad facilities. The discov ery of natural gas at Tarentum, no doubt, caused the English and New York capitalises to build their immense plate-glass works at that point, but on this point also we fully equal the valley. Gas in sufficient 'volume to run a large factory can be obtained by drilling within the Borough limits or in any direction immediately outside of tliem. The natural gas of this section is attracting the attention of the manufaturer* and capitalists of both Eu rope and this oountry, aud in all the natural gas region as now known there is but one point where the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio and Erie railways systems cenrte, and that poiat is tow» at Bmier. COURT HOUSE NEWS. Grand Jury Pi esentmenl. The Ciraud Inquest in and for the county ot Butler, etc. To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions in and for tue County ol But ler. The Orand Inquest inquiring in and for the oounty atoiesaid do present to your Honors: Ttiat they have beeu in consultation in the discharge of their duties relative to the erec tion ot new Court House, aid would suggest )hat they have examined the walls, and find the foundation wall*, stonework, eu:., in good condition and not injured by water or Ireeziug, and that the new building should be erected thereou, with such enlargement and additions as the Commissioners in consul tation with skilled architects may deem neces sary to amply meet tiie wants of the county. The vaults should be made larger, and the offices so arranged as to afford more conven ience and comfort than existed in the old bttild ing. . The whole building should be built in a stn>- stantial manner and finished in modern aud we recommtud heatiug by steam as the safest. The general plau and details should be well studied and considered by the Commissioner-, with the aid ot skilled architects. The cost ot such builditfg, we think, may be fairly estimat ed at from sixty-five to seventy thousand dol lars. We have examined the offices now occupied by the County officers and lind them reasona bly suitable and convenient under the circum stances, and in as good order as can be expect ed. We find the heating of the jail very detec tive. The furnace does not araw right, but emits smoke aud sulpher through the buildings which almost sufloeates. The lloor ot the ba-eu-ent should be graited and lowered, so that the heater could "stand up from the floor. We would also recommend that the Com missioners exercise great and constant care and vigilance, and also the County officers and jani tor, so that the public records and documents may be atiorded the best protection possible, under the circumstancts, against loss aud in jury by lirt, or by being abstracteu, or lrom being damaged in removal or otherwise. \> e annex to this, our presentment, a state ment aud exhibit ol the finances ot the county as they exist al this date, as lurnishcd by the County Commissioners, showing the sum ol forty-lour thousand and fitty-tve dollars and eighty-nine cents, exclusive ol the levy lor the current year, (#44,050.5y; to the credit of the county.

It weighed ."25 pounds when alive, dressed 485 pounds, was 10 months old, and was raised by James S Havs, of this place, whose farm is in Connoquenessing township. Wick <k Clark bought four large hogs from Hays last week, all of which were a mixture of the Berkshire and Poland-China breeds, and the largest of which we have noted. They also purchased two Durham steers from Jim, last week, a three-year-aid and a two-year-old, the Isrgcst •f which weighed over 1400 pounds and the other over 12»K> pounds. —J. IT.

You can examine it at express office, and if not satisfacto ry retarn it at his cost. This is cer tainly a very fair proposition, and is a ! —The Pennsylvania Salt Mnciuatnrinsr Com pany, whose works are at Xatr>>na, a station of i the West Penu railroad, below Freeport, have lately purchased a farm in that vicinity and intend sinking wells for gas for use in their S works. The Company now own their own 1 coal mines in the adjoining hills and employ about a hundred miners, and if they succeed in j obtaining enough gas to run their extensive establishment there, they will no doubt sive thousands of dollars annually. This company do not manufacture salt, as its name would imply, but do manufacture soda, sal-soda, bi carb-soda, sulpher, muriatic acid, blue vitriol, oil of vitriol, caustic, concentrated lye, ball potash, sap uitier and other articles. The works at Natrona (but a small part of which can be seen from the railroad) are said to be worth over five millions of dollars, and give employment to over 1300 persons. Theowners, mostly Quakers, live in Philadelphia, and besides these works have another somewhere along the Delaware. They bring their cryolite, a rock that is almost pure soda, irom a cryolite mountain in Greenland, for the monopoly oi which they pay the Danish Government a large sum. said to be ft quarter of a million annually, and their sulphur ore from Sicily. The cryolite rock is ground up as fine as 'pow der, then liquified, purified and run iuto large vats, where it congeals into pure soda, in the lotm of stalactites, very beautiful in appear ance. A trip through the works is attended with dangers, and the workmen often have tLeir shoes, clothes and their lingers burned, and their eyes put out in the lye and acid de partments. The business of the company amounts to many millions annually, and its principal oflite is in Philadelphia. The com pany has an interesting history. Some thirty years ago a man named Pemberton, a brother of the rebel general of that name, in looking around for some mbstance, other than wood ash<-s, from which to make soda, ran aoross some specimens of cry' lite rock, brought home by survivors of the Kane artic. expedition. He analysed them and found them to be almost pure soda, then went to Danmark and with a chemist named Hagaman, visited Greeuland ar.d lound the cryolite mountain, the only one that exists, or as yet discovered, on the planet, came home, organized a company, secured the monopoly of the cryolite from the Danish government, bought the charter from the old Pennsylvania Salt Company, built their works and started H business, which has now become one of the most extensive in tin couutry, and of which but very little is known by outsiders. The company has its own tenenu nt houses and stores at Natrona, and most of the laborers are Poles,, the idea being, we suppose, that the Poles will do less talking to outsiders than would Americans. —COL.
