The story goes that while digging a well on the Ilamegar farm, near West Alexandria, at the depth of about 100 feet, the precious ore was found. It has been assayed and found to contain five dollars to the ton, which is considered an excellent yield. The Hamegars propose to have the well drilled a greater depth. —When the Petin Bank closed It was in debted to individual depositors $1,466,205.05. The total amount of overdrafts is $1,250,953.99. Thus, if the money paid out to those who had no claim upon it, and in violation of law, had been guarded as it should have been, the bank would have beeu solvent, and the depositors made secure. A million and a quarter of over drafts, and the directors, as a board, unaware of the fact. —Mr Baily, the Pittsburgh architect, and Messrs. Pallisser, Pallisser & Co., of New York, have laid in almost similar plans for a new Court House, and both plans are very good, the best yet presented to the Commission ers for their consideration. All the plans con template a larger and better building than the old one, and though the Grand Jury recom mends a $50,000 dollar building, it will likely fake double tijat amount to build by any of the plans yet received. —The following ticket was nominated by the Prohibitionists at their convention in But ler last Tuesday: Congress, Rev.

He must swear to the fact of his qualification, and fortify his testimony by the oath of another qualified elector cognizant of the facts. His vote, even if ap<;epted at the pQllg. without required proof, cannot be count ed. ao it is a very important matter for every voter to see if he is registered in time; and if he is not, to see that the evidence of his right to vote is made complete. —The 'commencement exercises of Prospect Acidcmy will bo hfcid in Critchlow'a Grove, Just in the edge of town. This is one of the most beautiful groves in Butler county. Re freshments of all kinds will be on the grounds, and everything possible is being done to make the occasion one of pleasure and profit to all who attend. Col. Bain, of Kentucky, will ddress the audience in the afternoon, and a cture in the evening. Exercises begin at 1 LE. M. —An exchange in speaking of the incursions by outsiders upon the business interests of a totyn, jqstly says: "It l's a wrong ta the mer chants. a self-imposed wrong to the purchaser and a decided detriment to the village in gen eral to buy goods of an irresponsible traveling man representing no house and claiming not even the abiding place of a fox. They never leave a cent in tng town, but make a point by inveigling a few innocents into buy ing their clap-trap stuff, to draw what loose on change they cau lay their avaricious clutches away. Give them the slip every time, and show confidence in your own merchants by patroniz ing them." l}. L. Cleeland, the jeweler, met witfy a painl'iil aeciddut uiu|er peculiar circumstances, whjle out in thp wopds, east of town, last Sat urday afternoon, with his brother-in-law, Mr. Cutlhison. They hail a revolver with them which carried a short No. 1 cartridge, aud spy ji,2 a souirrel on a fence, Cleeland ran ahead and turned the squirrel liack, and then got back from the fence while Cubbison fired at it, but the ball struck the slmrp edge of a hard oak rail, and glancing frc m it struck Cleeland in the mouth, pushing through his lower l!p ami lodging between two of his upper back teeth. One tooth was knocked loose but he shoved it back in its place and the wound through the lip was very painful. The ball, which Cleeland has in his possession, is all twisted out of sjiape. —Criminal Court, this week, was the shortest on record —a short half day; from Monday noon till Monday evening. The only juries called were those on the Saxouburg liquor cases, and those only on the question of costs. The informations in the eases of Muder, I.aube and Kohnfelder were defective, in that the constable had not sworn to the written parts of the informations, and had omitted the names ot the defendants from the printed forms, j which let the.n out. Montgomery, the coun terfeiter, plead guilty and was sent to the pen itentiary for one year; Leonard, for assault and battery, also plead guil'y and wps sentenced, and the other cases on the list were settled. —The stables of Mr. J. R. Spang and Mrs. Steen, located on Lincuin Way, between Penn and West Pearl streets, destroyed by fire last Saturday afternoon. The two stables were about a dozen feet apart, with a chicken coop and wagon shed between them, in which the tire originated, though the cause of its origin is not known. Some loose straw lying on the lower floor of Spang's stable made the fire spread almost instantaneously over the whole building. The hose companies ran a line from the plug at corner of Main and Pearl streets as soon as possible, but could do nothing but save the surrounding buildings, particularly the residence of Mr. O. K. Waldron, which was on fire several times. Spang's stable was not in sured, and his loss w ill probably reach .sIOO, as his stable was an unusually well built one, having solid oak floors and joists—and at the time contained a sleigh, pair of bob sleds, chest of carpenter tools, and many other things, all of which were burned. This lire proves the necessity of the water pipe being laid out to that part of the town. Some twenty houses there are now unprotected from tire, and there are a dozen families who would use reservoir water if given an opportunity to do so. —Among the incidents related to a reporter by a commercial traveller named John Gilbert, as occurring during a late alleged "eventful trip" of his from New York to this section and back, are the following: "At Butler, a man 58 years old, with great grandchildren old enough to be married, had came in from the back country and was look ing for someone to rnarry him to a girl not yet sixteen. He was leading her around by the hand. This didn't stop business in the place, but it made talk. He wasn't married yet when I left. The girl was nice looking, neat and smart, and I wondered what she could be think ing of. I found out later that the old man had a tip top farm and $25,000 in cash. "At Petrolia the people were out lookiug for a wild man. They hadn't lost one, but they seemed anxious to find this one, because he was chiefly engaged in butchering sheep and things that are usually left around loose in the fields out there. Before the wild man came to disturb them a long-headed old citizen had been robbed for the third time by masked bur glars. He had the habit ot keeping a hundred thousand dollars or so stuck away in coffee pots, stockings, old boots, and such, because he didn't believe in banks. The folks were so broke up over the wild man that I thought it would be too bad to mention business to them, sol grabbed my gripsack and shook the place." These, and a dozen other similar items, are an indirect reflection on the quality of the liquor now sold in Western Pennsylvania. John Berg Sr., Our community were astonished last Mon day morning to hear of the death of John Berg, Sr., who was apparently as hale and hearty an old gentleman a3 there was in the town. He was out at his farm north of town last Friday, and when he returned home that evening complained of being sick at the stom ach and took to his bed. On Saturday he was much worse and a physician was called, who prescribed for him, but nothing—not even a spoonful of water —would remain on his stom ach, and he continued to grow worse, and died at 2 o'clock Monday morning. He died on his birthday, and was exactly 72 years of age. Mr. Berg was born in the town of Bensheim, a town of about six thousand inhabitants, near the city of Darmstadt, in the Grand Dukedom of Hesse-Darmstadt, on the 9th of June, 1812. He came to America in 1832, and located in Franklin county, this State, where he worked in an iron mill, then removed to Pittsburgh, where he remained some years, part of the time being engaged with his brother Herman in Schoenlierg's iron store and part of the time being in business for himself in Birming ham, near the south Side. Having some rela tives in this county, he removed here about the year 1840, and at first located on the Dive ner farm, in Donegal township, but afterwards removed to Butler and established a bakery and confectionery in a frame building on the site of the present hardware store. In the spring of 1547 he engaged with his brother Herman in the general store business, in the building at the corner of Main and Cunning ham streets, since which time his career as a successful business man of the town is known to almost everybody here. He accumulated money, and at his death was one of the wealthest men in the county. He was the senior member of the banking firm of John Berg & Co., and also of the hardware firm of Berg & Cypher, and was the owner of much valuable town and farm property. In 1874 he built the three story brick and stone building, the lower floor of which is now used for the hardware store, and which is by odds the sornest business building in Butler. His career proves what industry anu good Judgment can accomplish. Some years ago he and part of his family visited his old home in Germany, and upon his return he greatly delighted in telling of his visit to the home of his boyhood, lie was married to Martha, daughter of Mar cus Eyth, dee'd., formerly of Butler, who, with eleven children, survive him, as do also his brother Herman of this place, and his brother Lewis, of Pittsburgh. Two of his brothers died in Dubuque, lowa, within the past two years. He had been troubled with a weakness of the stomach for some years pre vious to his death, and was subject to cramps, which greatly distressed him. His funerai will take place this morning at 10 o,'clock. Connoquenessing Normal Aca demy. The citizens of Petersyille p>et iu the if. K. church on last Monday evening to confer to gether in regard to building an Academy. Prof. Wilson was chosen chairman of fhe meeting, and, after stating its object, made a very able and pointed address in favor of build the Academy. After speaking in English he spoke also iu German for the benefit of our (Jerman citizens who were present. Excellent music was furnished for the meeting by the Eureka Drum Corps, and the Petersy ille Or chestra. Much enthusiasm was manifested in regard to the enterprise, and in a very few moments $575 were subscribed by the citizens present. The trustees were certainlv very fortunate in securing the services of Prof. Millin to build up their school. He has proved to be the right man in the right place. The Adelpliic Literary Society will give an entertainment on the evening of June 13th. Admission 25 cents. Proceeds to buy a library for the Academy. The Society will bo addressed by Hon. L. /. Mitchell, All persons wishing to enjoy a rare treat should come to this entertainment, as from the reputation the Society has attained, it promises to be good. There will be a vacation of one week and then the normal term will begin June 23. An examination vyill l*e held by the County Su perintendent at the close. The Fall term begins Aug. 25th, PLATO. Card of Thanks, Clinton TWP., JUNE 4, 1884. Having submitted my name to the Republi can voters of Butler county, at the late Pri mary Election, for the oflice of I'rothonotary, and having received 1,810 votes, (although I was not known away from my own township) I feel highly gratified with the respectable ami flattering vote which I received; and I take this opportunity to return my sincere thanks to my supporters at home and throughout the county.
