We add a few more names to our announce
ment column this week, aud yet there is room
ud time for more.

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.

—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.
All of which we do respectively present,

Fine Stock.
A large, dressed hog, hanging iu front of
Wick A: Clark's meat market *sst week attract
ed considerable attention from passers-by. 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.

! —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.

New Safe for Recorder's Office.
H. W. Christie, Esq., Register and
Recorder, has, we understand, at his
own 'expense, purchased a Barnes'
Safe, to keep all the deeds and papers
in for safety in case of fire in the new
office in the Lutheran chun h building.
This was certainly a good thing for
Mr. Christie to do, as many people
have been afraid to leave their deeds
for record since the late fire. Mr.
Christie assures us that his safe is bet
ter than even the vault of the Court
House, where the papers have been
protected for years.
