remembering friends. The designs this sea
son are very handsome, and prices much lower

good health. This explains his strange anti- f

wet with a serious accident last Friday eve
ning. He attempted to milk a vicious cow,
when the animal knocked him over and tramp
ed him, breaking one of his legs at the ankle.
We are sorry to hear of this accident to the
Captain, who is one of our best citizens.

the witnesses has two peg legs; one ot the
jurors called and challenged, has a peg leg.
—Oil is worth but 94 cents a barrel at pres
ent, a figure at which it hardly pays to produce
it. Over production in this country and the
discovery of immense oil fields in that part of
Southern Russia lying between the Black and
Caspian seas, has depressed the market. The
Russian oil is said to be greatly inferior to
ours in quality.
_ —An attempt was made to burglarize John
Bickel's store a few nights since. The would
be-burglars entered the cellar through the
front coal hole but were uaable to force an en
trance into the store-room. In trying to do so
they awakened some of the occupants who
beared them off. John thinks it strange that
anybody should try to steal from him, when he
is almost giving boots and shoes away.
—A very sad affair occured at Meadville a
few davs since. Several school children went
to the woods in search of a sugar camp. Not
finding oue they cut into some trees they sup
posed to be maple, but were swamp hemlocks,
tyud (frank the sap which collected. Six were
foket} with yioleni spasms and two, a boy
named Custy and a girl named Pinkhouse,
died. The others getting medical relief soon
recovered.
—Mr. B. C. Huselton now has as handsome
a store room as we have ever seen. He has
had some fourteen hundred "single-pair boxes"
made which are neatly arranged on his shelves
and which add greatly to the appearance of
the room. Each box contains but one pair of
shoes, the size and quality of which are stated
on a card on the outside, and this enables him
to lay his hands on the exact shoe called for,
without keeping his customers waiting. Ben
has a large store-room and carries a stock
which coat him from fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars.

\ • railroad, fhe business of the company and

Mr. J. T. Blair has been made Assistant Re
ceiver, and retains his position as General
Manager of the road. The line is all in good
repair and there will be no check in the exten
sive business that is being transacted over it.
We have received the following notice under
date of March 24:
Having been appointed Receiver of the
Shenango & Allegheny Railroad Company and
the Mercer Mining and Manufacturing Com
pauy, I take pleaiure in notifying all oflfcers
aud employees that Mr. A. H. Steele, at my
request, has kindly consentedjto render the
Receiver all assistance and aid within his
power, aud 1 hereby appoint I. D. Stinson
Treasurer and General Passenger Agent, and
P. E. McCray Auditor.
THOMAS P. FOWLER, Receiver.
—Four log and frame buildings all within a
short distance of each other, on the Kerr and
Brabam farms in Cherry township, and Gal
loway and Christy farms, in Washington town
ship, were destroyed by fire last Tuesday night.
Nobody lived in either building at the time,
and how it came about that they all burned'
the same night is beyond comprehension, but
U is supposed they were all net on tire by light
ning—though oue of the spectators was heard
to remark that he didn't see how thunder and
lightning could have set out a table that was
in one of the buildings. These little houses
that are scattered through the country aud
through the towns are a good thing for poor
people, but sometimes the people who liye in
them are a perfect nuisance to their neighbors.
We have known such to be the case in Butler,
and such may have been the case regarding
these buildings.

—The eathering grsen in the meadow and
park, the reddening tints of the maple, the
small boj- digeing bait in the back yard, the
glowing form "of the sucker as he dangles fmm
the string in the hands of said boy, the song of
the vernal birds, the crocus peering forth to
meet the sun, the panorama of passing paint
pots and whitewashing implements, the aroma
of sassafras floating out from the domicil ot
the respected fellow citizen, the parties gaily
filing in at the drug shops for blue mass, the
muttied thunder of the carpet-whacking—all
these phenomena, with a variety of others,
says the cheat ful editor of the Franklin AVttw,
are the welcome announcers that Spring is
here and is running things in the old fashion
ed way.
—The*report that suits have been entered in
the District Court at Pittsburgh against the
Saxonburg hotel keepers, Dr. Mershon and
Henry Keasy, for selling liquo.' without a I .S.
license is said to be untrue. Deputy-Collector
Silverman was interviewed in Pittsburgh a
few days since and said: "1 suppose that sto y
originated from a visit I made to Saxonburg,
Butler county. I did not go in the garb of a
laborer, but as I always go, and went to the
hotel and registered myself; neither did I |?o
there on business particularly, but I did there
as I always do if I notice any infraction of the
revenue laws, I call their attention to it and if
there any penalities for not complying with
the law I notify them. As far as Bowman is
concerned I notified him that he had no
license, he said he knew that but presumed it
was the duty of the revenue officers to call
around and collect it, and when I told him
different he at ouce asked the amount and paid
it, and the penalty, too. 1 think the papers
have i« mixed, as I judge they are being prose
cuted for not having a county license "
Court Notes.
In the matter of the petition of Jacob Ger
lacn for restoration, the following order was
made on the 4th, ult. Evidence heard and the
Court being satisfied of the truth of the allega
tions in the petition that petitioner has reform
ed and become habitually sober—do order the
commission and inquisition and all proceedings
relating thereto be suspended and determined
henceforth. .
W. J. Welsh, Esq., was appointed acommis
lioner to hold an inquest in the case ot Catha
rine Alshouse, of Butler township, an alleged
lunatic. ~ .
Butler County has brought suit vs. Jefferson
township for $423.65, with interest from the
Ist of August, 1879, for the keeping of Nancy
Dunbar at Dixmont.
Suits in Equity have been entered against
the Mercer M. &. M. Co., and Receiver Fowler
by John Blair and Charles A. Blyrailler re
garding leases of coal lands.
Republicans of Butler County.
My competitors for the delegateship to the
National Convention, have thought it necessa
ry to advertise in the Pittsburgh papers their
1 Republicanism and the fact that they would
obey instructions if elected, and having under
[ stood that they have been circulating the re
port that I was for Arthur, I now say to you
that before announcing myself as a candidate,
I knew as I know now, that Butler county
was solid for Blaine and Lincoln, and if elected
I will use my best endeavors to have them
nominated at Chicago.

GREAT RIOT IN CINCINNATI.
Mob Rule for Two Nights—
Fearful Loss of Life and
Property.
HOW THE TROUBLE BEGAN.
CINCINNATI, 0., March 30.— Wm.
Berner was on Monday found guilty of
manslaughter for the murder of m.
H. Kirk Kirk was killed in a stable
several months ago by a blow from a
hammer, robbed of about SIOO in cash,
put into a wagon, hauled off toward
Cumminsville and thrown into Mill
creek, where the body was found two
days later. Suspicion pointed toward
Berner and a negro named Joe Palmer,
who were arrested, and confessed the
crime. On trial Berner testified that
Palmer did the killing, while he (Ber
ner) only looked on, and got a share of
the money. The return ol the verdict
of manslaughter in a case where cow
ardly brutal murder was so evident
created a feeling of the utmost indigna
tion, the Judge who tried the case him
self declaring it an outrage. The jury
on leaving the court room were hooted
at by the crowd, and several sugges
tions that they be hanged were made.
Since then the feeling that justice
had been outraged has grown in inten
sity, and it has been evident since Mon
day that trouble of a .serious nature
was brewing. One of the jurors was
on Wednesday attacked and beaten and
another compelled to leave the city by
friends of the murdered man.
"TO THE JAIL"—FRIDAY NIGHT'S WORK.
When the Music Hall meeting ad
journed, and the 6,000 or 7,000 persons
were pouring out of the hall, the cry,
"to the jail!" was raised, and the
crowd not knowing that Berner had
been taken away, surged thither in one
solid mass, filling the whole width of
the street. As it moved on others join
ed the throng, and when it reached
Sycamore street in front of the jail it
must have numbered 10,000 men The
approach to the jail was made rapidly
and quietly. Sheriff Hawkins, expect
ing some demonstration, had thirteen
deputies on guard in his office. They
were soon startled by a heavy blow on
the outside door, and they immediately
realized that an attack was being made.
Sheriff Hawkins then called up Fire
Marshal Bunker by telephone and the
riot alarm was sounded. The mob had
brought up a long, heavy oak plank
and used it as a battering ram. They
began operations on the north outside
door. The blows rained fast and strong
but the iron door resisted every effort
to force it. Then the excited men on
the outskirts of the mob, growing im
patient at the delay, and determined to
do some thing to show their indigna
tion, began to throw stones at the build
ing and fire pistols into the air. En
couraged by these demonstrations, the
men handling the battering ram re
doubled their efforts. For full three
quarters of an hour the blows were
rained upon the door without effect,
and the mob became frenzied and un
controllable. A proposition to set fire
to the building was made, and thou
sands of voices took up the cry. The
throng started to carry it into execu
tion, but at this moment a shout arose
from the front. The doors were be
ginning to give way. The blows were
quickened and rang out on the night
air as though they came from a steam
hammer.
Suddenly the doors flew off their
hinges and the howling mob rushed
pell mell into the building.
When the mob eatered the Sheriff's
force withdrew into the jail proper,
leaving between them and the mob the
heavy grated iron door, which separ
ates the reception room from the cell
room. This is at the foot of the stair
way leading up to the cell room. The
reception room was jammed, and the
mob kept calling, "Give us Berner!
Give us Johnson !" and so on through
the list of murderers, confined in the
building.
They sought for Berner, but soon
discovered that he was gone. They
recognized Ben Johnson, one of the
Avondale negro burkers, and began
pounding at the doors with their bat
tering ram, but the small space pre
vented its use with effect.
SATURDAY NIOHT AND UP TO SUNDAY
MORNING.
CINCINNATI, 0., March 30—At*day
light this morning the Associated
Press reporter walked through the
quarter of the city where the stormy
scenes of the previous eight had been
enacted. Against an exquisitely tin
ted sky in the east, the broken walls
of the burning Court House were dis
tinctly defined with its crumbling
window openings looking like rude
wounds. Over the ruins of the Treas
urer's office in the northern part of the
building the ruddy glow of the fire
was still visible while from other por
tions thin white colored smoke and
steam was rising, as the water thrown
by the engines fell into the burning
contents. Last night when the sun
went down the occupants of the Treas
urer's office were sitting at the open
plate glass windows smoking cigars
and reading the accounts of tho previ
ous night's attempts on the jail. There
was no thought that in six hours those
windows would be broken and the ac
cumulated wealth of the building in
ruins. But this building, great as its
loss, was merely property. The other
losses in that locality were of human
life. Only pools of blood here and
there in the trampled dust or on the
brick sidewalk were to be seen. Only
an hour before, on Sycamore street be
low Court, lay four or Eye dead bodies
of drunken or venturesome men, who
in spite of the policeman's warning, had
gone beyond the limit permitted by the
militia. When they fell under the fire
of the militia, no one dared to go and
take them away until the mob had
dispersed and the streets were clear.
THE RUIN.
One crash after another made the
air shiyer, and men dropped bv the
scores in every direction. Meanwhile
the Court Home burned on without
hindrance, for the Fire Department
was not allowed to interfere.
It is an incalculable loss. It is a
loss, not of visible, which may be re
placed, but of intangible property which
can never be, It is a loss which Ham
ilton county will feel for centuries
hence, which will fatten unborn genera
tions of lawyers, which will make
many a poor man, many a widow and
orphan sweat drops of agony as the
property on which thev relied for sup
port is taken from them because they
cannot prove that the title by which
they hold was .good previous to the
year 1884. If all the money and bonds
in the County Treasury were taken it
could be replaced, If every other
1 piece of property belonging to the city j
or county were to-day smoking in ru
ins; if half the city lay in ashes, all
j could be replaced. But the county rec
: orda—never.
Consider what property it was that
the crowd so rnadlj tore and throw in
-Ito the flames Records a century old;
1 record* of tie infant village of Cincin
' nati. transcripts from the United States
: Courts of instruments of the highest
' use to the citizens of this county, tl e
proceedings of the courts for a bunds t d
years, of wills probated, of marriages
■ and deaths—records on which many a
■ title to property hang. All goue for
! ever! The splended law library—one
| of the finest in the land, one of the j
; most complete, in which almost every j
I law book published in the English
language could be found. It is only a
matter of history now that it ever ex
isted. It was not a distruction of pa
per and leather, as the destroyers im
agined when they hauled the written
books from their places. It was the
vanishing of intangible property which
will cost thousands of present and fu
ture citizens all their peace of mind.
Teachers Convention.
WEST SINBIRY, Pa. Mar. 24, 1884.
On Friday, the 21st inst, the teach
ers of this locality convened in the
Academy building, and held an insti
tute. The affair was a success in ev
ery|particular, thirty-five were in attend
ance, and a number of visitors from a
distance were present. At the appoint
ed hbur, Superintendent Murtland was
called to the chair, J M. Painter was
elected Vice President, and A. W. H.
Martin and Miss Anna Glenn were
elected Secretaries. Rev. G. W. Bean
opened the meeting with devotional
exercise, after whice Samuel Glenn,
ex-County Superintendent, delivered
the address of welcome. The speaker
dwelt at considerable length on the im
portance of the teacher's work inas
much as he builds the foundation ot
our social, moral and political structure.
The whole speech was charaterized by
practical thoughts pertinently put. He
was responded to by Rev. Chas. L.
Streamer, of North Washington, in
that happy and fluent style for which '
the gentleman is noted, The remarks
were well timed and listened to with
interest.
Instrumental music, by M. H. Veon. 1
Class drill in geography by J. P.
Stoops, The gentleman's methods of
teaching this branch commended Jitself ]
to those present by its excellence.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Instrumental music, by M. H. Veon.
"Educating in theJCommon Schools"
was the subject of a paper read by J.
R. Robertson, Principal of the North ,
Washington Academy. The greater J
part of the paper was devoted to show
ing that much of the teaching in our j
common schools is of an unpractical i
natute. The subject was handled in a
clear, concise and forcible manner. The
paper called forth remarks from Rev.
Streamer, Mr Samuel Glenn, Rev.
Humes and Superintendent Murtland.
Mr. Murtland in his remarks saidj:
"The highest type of teaching is that
which makes the pupil self-helpful.
The great work of the teacher should
be to develop and train the intellectual,
moral and physical powers of the pu
pil."
Class drill in reading by W. W. Lo
gan,Principal of the Sunbury Academy.
This exercise was highly instructive,
as the instructor the very
best methods of important
branch.
Miss Kate Hilliard read an essay on
"Self-government and How Taught."
The thoughts were good and well ex
pressed.
"The Skeleton in Armor" was de
claimed by W, W. Logan. The rendi
tion of this piece was perfect.
"No Secrets in Heaven" was recited
in a Bprightly manner by Miss Dillie
Campbell, and was well received by
the audience.
EVSNINU SESSION.
Song by the choir, "Learn a little
every day,"
Rev. Dodds gave an interesting talk
on "The language we teach." The
remarks drew forth an animated dis- |
cussion between Samuel Glenn and
Rev. Streamer on the one side, and
Rev. Dodds and W. W. Logan on the
other. The former named, spoke in fa
vor of the grammars used twenty-fiv#
years ago, and opposed the diagram- :
ing system, while the latter favored j
the grammars of a later period, and
warmly championed the system of
diagraming.
A well prepared essay on "Safe
Guides" was read by Miss Anna
Glenn.
"Independance Pell" was declaimed
by Mr. Frank Cunningham. The j
plaudits the declaimer received were
well deserved.
The proceedings closed with a song ,
by the choir, "Dad is a millionaire"
Every one,in attendance went away
highly pleased with the institute, and
feeling that it had been good for him
to be there
