—At a meeting of citizens of this town in
in the court room last Tuesday evening, it was

of drawing manufactories to the town. Per
sons wishing to subsiribe for stock should call

—An Alabama man branded his wife with a
red-hot poker because she put too much saler
atus in the morning biscuit. If his example

—Washington county is excited over an al

the ton, which is considered an excellent yield.

a greater depth.
—When the Petin Bank closed It was in

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

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 Supreme Court of this State has de
cided if a qualified elector is not registered two
months before the election there is no method
of curing the defect except that prescribed in
the election law. 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,

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.
