Nelson Stevenson, the Buttercup postmaster, has removed to Allegheny City. —Keep your cellars clean and well ventila ted, and you will avoid disease. —The new coaucil is commencing work at the right end of the season. We are to have no less than three im mense shows here this season. About one thousand cars pass over the West Penn railroad every day. Why is it that when a man sits on new )»aiut the paint and his trousers are never the same color. —The Live Stock Insurance Association, of thin place, paid their first lost* on April 2t'th, within 24 hours after notice of the same. The fields are green, but not more so than the man who signs his name to a paper pre sented by a total stranger. —There is a woman in town who, when a secret is committed to her, gets ten other women to help her keep it. —A fire at Herman last Sunday iiartially de stroyed the derrick and engine house of the Smith <k Co. well. Twenty nine bodies have been burned to ashes at the La Moyne crematory in Washing ton county. In two hours a corpse is entirely consumed. —The charge of adultery preferred by C. Ambuster, of Centre township, vs. W. D. Mc- Candless was withdrawn last Saturday and the costs paid. —Frank McMillen's store building at Bakers town, with the greater part of his stock, was destroyed by fire last Thursday afternoon. It was insured in the Butler County Mutual for $3,000 —The dangerous nature of carpet cleaning was illustrated at Chicago lately, where a car pet cleaner named Jacobson killed a man named Berdell because the latter refused to pay for whacking the carpet. —The Schneideman building is for sale, and it wouldn't be a bad idea for the National Government to buy it for a postoffice. _ The postoffice should be on Main street, and in all towns of this size the Government should own the building. —The people of Petersville have petitioned the Postoffice Department to give them a daily mail between that place and Evans City, and discontinue the tri-weekly mail be tween Butler and Evans City. —Mr. A. W. McCollough met with a painful accident while running up the steps to the new telegraph office last Wednesday. His foot slip|>ed and the shock loosened the leaders of one of his legs. —The post office department has conferred authority on postmasters not possessed before, to correct misdirected letters, where possible, and forward them, instead as has been the cus tom, of sending them to the dead letter office. This is certainly a commendable step. —Anandale, this connty, is said to have a citizen who lately sucked fifty eggs on a wager of 50 cents. The forty-fifth egg was a bad one and caused him to disgorge the lot. He then demanded the 50 cents, but it was refused him until he sccked the required number, which he did on short notice. —An exchange says: Grocers should in struct their customers who buy canned goods to pour out the contents of the can as soon as it is cut; it will not do to wait fifteen or twenty minutes; the cans should be emptied at once. A few minutes exposure to the air will give the contents a metalic taste that is not at all agreeable. —Tank Kee, a "Chinese" lecturer who re cently spoke in several places in this county, has turned out to be a fraud of the worst kind. He isn't a Chinaman at all, and last week while lecturing in Rochester, N. Y., indulged in such protracted sprees that the churches were closed agaiast him and he had to skip out for parts unknown. —Mr. Adam Sheakley, a son of Henry B. Sheakley, of Parker township, lately deceased, committed suicide by hanging himself with a chain in his barn, last Saturday morning. He was about 45 years of age and leaves a wife and three children, and is estimated to have been worth ten thousand dollars, but is said to have grieved over the small amount willed hirn by his father nntil his mind became affected. —The Bald Ridge Oil and Transportation Company held their regular annual meeting on Monday, May 5,1884. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, W. I>. Brandon; Secretary, Harvey Colbert; Treasurer, Jno. S. Campbell; Ferd Reiber; Directors, W. D. Brandon, A. L. Reiber, Geo. W. Fleeter, 8. M. Piersol, Geo. Krug; Auditors, R. P. Scott, A. L. Reiber. —Dr. Wm. Sarver, an old and prominent physician of Pittsburgh, has been expelled by the Allegheny county Medical Society "for advertising that he could cure certain diseases in 4 or H days, a thing which uo physician can do." To this "charge" Dr. Sarver [dead guilty and said he proposed to carry on his business in his own way. He was not permitted to re sign but was expelled. Doctors don't want to cure jieople in four days. --They are carrying on a vigorous campaign in Kmlenton against illegal traffic in liquor. Charges have been preferred against all the hotels on different counts, such as selling to minors, selling on Sunday, and selling to men of intemperate habits. About sixty witne;.s«s have been summoned to attend court at Frank lin. These movements are fully justified by the frequent spectacle of boys in their teens reeling intoxicated on the streets. —During the high wind that prevailed last Friday morning the west end wall of the old Court House fell in. Workmen arc now en gaged tatting the rubbish from the interior and when they are done the other walls will be pulled over and outwards. The iron fence was taken down last week, and with the stone it rested upon, is for sale. The Commissioners ask but S2OO for it all, a great bargain for any person or persons wanting some iron fencing. The stone pillars will also be pulled down. It would cost a large sum to take them down in pieces, and they will not lie used in the new building, excepting as foundation stone. —Mr. J. W. Irwin returned home from the South last Saturday, greatly improved iu health. He passed the greater part of the winter at the house of the Rev. L. R. MeAboy, formerly of this county, but who now lives in Tryon Valley, Polk county, North Carolina. This valley is several thousand feet above the sea level, and Is a summer resort for Southern ers to escape the malaria of the sea coast cities, and a winter resort for Notherners afflicted with throat and lung diseases. The valley is surrounded by high mountains, the scenery is grand, and there is good fishing and hunting in the vicinity. It is never visited by frost, and the season is from six weeks to two months ahead of ours, as shown by the samples of green peaches and apples brought home by Mr. Irwin. —Another of the senseless contests known as walking matches took place in New York last week. There may be some excuse for the walkers themselves, for sometimes there is a great deal of money for the best man; but only a very low or brutal order of curiimity can im pel thousands of men to enjoy the spectacle of U few tine fellows being wasted and tortured by a long, unnatural and meaningless physical strain. A six-day walking match is a more brutal exhibition than a prize fight or a gladi atorial contest; it is simply an effort to deter mine which man has the most of the lowest (juality ol'an mini endurance. Men who fight tor a few moments with swords or fists can at least have the use of their senses to the very last, but in the last half of a six-day-walk nearly everv contestant is vacant minded or literally crazy—he becomes an unreasonable animal, whom his keepers find sometimes sul len, sometimes savage, but never sensjUlp Such exhibitions are a disjjffipp (q ll.u and {o all whos£ eur,cwily Makes them possible and jiroi* table.

George H. Graham, Esq., was elected President of the Convention, .rames S. Wilson, J. S. Wick, and Frank Eastman Secretaries: and Albert Mech liug and C. C. Sullivan, tellers. By the time these officers were elected the room had be come very much crowded and many directors did not have seats, and it was therefore moved, seconded and declared carried that all persons not directors leave the room, and accordingly all such excepting those who "declined the re quest," stepped outside and stationed them selves at the open windows. The list of direc tors was then called, which showed that 242 of the 294 directors of the county were present and 52 absent. The question of salary was then taken up and a motion to the effect that the salary be fixed at the limit allowed, i. e. $4.50 for each school in the countv, carried. There are 2»59 schools in the county and this'makes the salary for the next three years amount to $1210.50 for each year. The next thing in order was to elect a Coun ty Superntendent, and Messrs.

Co., was called for trial last Fri day morning, Mr. Scott, attorney for defendant, made application for continuance till 2t>th inst., on account of an important paper being missing, and offered to pay the costs of the term. His application was resisted by the attorneys for the plaintiffaud refused by the Court, whereupon he stated to the Court that the jury wheel for this year had been illegally filled, in that the work or part of the work had been performed by Mr. McClung, one of the Jury Commissioners, and Mr. Robt. Millinger, who had been deputized by Mr. Wallett to take liis nlace and finish his work when he (Mr. Wallett) was suddenly called home by a summons announcing the serious illness of a child, and that therefore the trial could not be legally proceeded with. The court ordered that the statement be put in the form of an affidavit, which was done, Mr. Mil linger making oath to it, and in the meantime another case was taken up, both parties to which waived the alleged illegality of the Jury. This case was finished Saturday morn ing, when the question was taken up. Messrs, McClung, Wallett and Millinger were sum moned ami sworn, and upon their testifying to the fwts set forth above, the Court quashed the array of Jurors for last week, and the railroad case went over till the 2Cth. The Jury lists for this week and the 24th are also illegal and liarties wanting their cases continued will ikely be accommodated. The lists for the regular June Term have also been drawn, but they will be set aside, the wheel will be emptied and 500 new names placed in it, and new lists drawn. The verdicts in the cases tried last week, and in all those tried this year will stand, excepting, of course, where they . are reversed by tlie Supreme Court. SO COURT THIS WEEK. When the trial list for this week was called over on Monday, several cases were continued by consent of both parties. The first case call ed in which one of the parties was anxious for trial was that of Henry Keasey vs. S. D. Haz lett; Keasey wanted the case tried and Hazlett did not, and so his attorney moved to quash the array of jurors on account of the illegal filling of the wheel. The Court told him to prove it, and McClung, Wallett and Millinger were again summoned, sworn anil questioned. The array was quashed and court adjourned till the 2i>th A. V. R. R. Insolvent. In the Court of Common Pleas of Westmore land county, last Friday afternoon, John Scott and W. H. Barnes were appointed re ceivers of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, the Pennsylvania Railroad. North Central Rail road and Philadelphia and Erie Railroad com panies plaintiffs. At the same time the court issued an injunction restraining all persons in terested from interfering with the receivers in taking possession of the road, and to restrain any persons or corporations from proceeding against the road under any judgment confess ed. The news was received in Pittsburgh late in the afternoon, and created marked comment, especially in railroad circles. It has been known that the Valley road was struggling under an immense debt, estimated at $.'(0,000,- 000 or over, and while some such more was looked upon as inevitable at some period, the consummation was not anticipated at this time, Bald Ridge Notes.

HOUTZDALE, CLEARFIELD) Co., Pa,. May 2, 1384.)' For some days past the woods in the vicinity of Brisbin and Houtzdale have been on fire in different places, but no decided move was made towards stamp ing it out and it gradually grew nearer to the town of Brisbin. This morning a heavy gale from the westward set in, and blew the flames in the direction of Hoover, Hughes & Co.'s mill. Men were promptly put to work fightiugthe fire fiend, but without avail, though the hose which has always been kept in readiness for an emergency of this kind were playing on all parts of the mill. About twelve o'clock the whistle sounded an appeal for more aid, and the most strenuous exertions were made to save the structure, but the greedy flames seized upon the immense lumber piles. . THE TOWN IS FLAMES. Brisbin is situated between two hills, the mill being at the western end of the town, an with a steady gale blow ing the flames from house to house it was but a short time until the space between the hills was a seething mass of fire. We huve no means of estima ting the loss, but it is enormous, llouver liughes & Co.'s mill and lum ber yards and stores, Simon Dinger's store, Theogt Hall, and at least two huudred and fifty other buildings were burned. But few people saved any thiug, and the scene is agonizing in the extreme. Seyeral sick persons were taken from their houses with great difficulty. Over one hundred families are bereft of everything in the world, save the clothing they wore. Mrs. Donavan, an old and respectable lady was caught by the fire and burned to death. AID FORJIJE HOMELESS THOUSANDS. HARIUSBURO, May 3.—A telegram was recieved at ttic Executive Depart ment to-day to the effect that 3,000 people have been rendered homeless by forest fires in the vicinity of Houtzdale Clearfield county. An appeal was made for tents to shelter these people, which Gov. Pattison forwarded. The tenlyjwere shipped this afternoon. Along the Philadelphia Erie rail road, from Driftwood west to Rome, heavy fires were in progress last night. Many cattle are .reported surrounded by the flames, and a number of fishermen had great difficulty in getting out of the burning territory. A large territo ry in the part of Lycoming county was burned over, but the loss was not very heavy. In Tioga county the fire was general. Large quantities of timber were destroyed along the line of the Tiaga Railroad, as well as many houses, barns and other buildings, The town of Thompson was wholly de stroyed, including a saw mill. The loss is over $150,000. Seventeen houses were burned in Arnot, entail ing an additional loss of $15,000. Two million feet of lumber was also burned. The fire was fierce about Morris and Antrim. Considerable fine timber was among the property bnrned in different parts of Tioga county. THE WELCOME RAIN. ERIE, Pa., May 4.—A heavy rain has been prevailing along the line of the Philadelphia and Erie railroad throughout the forest fire district dur ing the past twelvs hours. The confla gration, which was beginning to enkin dle with renewed fury in the vicinity of Emporium, Keating, Sterling, Ridg way and St. Marys, was at once arres ted, and at 5 P. M. the water rolled down over the mountains in sheets, quenching every bit of fire. A local rain Saturday saved the Clarendon oil district. —Call early and get the best bar gains ever offered in knee dusters at C. Roessing Son's, Jefferson St. Special Notice.
