—A traveling auctioneer opened up shop iu
Grove City and commenced to sell his wares to
the people. Some of the merchants who pav
rent and taxes the year round had him arrested.
He was fined $35 and costs. Not liking the
atmosphere of the Messer diocese he packed
his goods and left to find a greener community
—A solution of half a pound of sal-soda to a
pailful of water, applied with a fountain pump
or syringe, and also sprinkling with water
mixed with lamp oil, is recommended as a
remedy for the apple-tree aphis or leaf house,
which is doing great injury to the young trees
this year.
—A few days since two young men of Craw
ford county, named Blair and Weir, waded be
yond their depth in the Shenango river, while
hauling a seine. Blair, who was a good swim
mer, went to Weir's assistance, and both went
down. The bodies were recovered, and when
found were locked in each other's arms.
—At the sale of the Court House debris last
Thursday afternoon,the old brick brought SI.BO
per thousand,tne old iron 35 cts. per 100 pound,
and the flag stone under the portico 8 to 9 ets.
per superfiscial foot. The old iron fence was
purchased by a party from Allegheny City for
$186.20. Three Pittsburgh junk dealers were
present at the sale.
—Small worms, somewhat resembling mag
gots, are said to lie waging destructive warfare
against the young cabbage plants, which are
attacked at the roots, and we have never
known the young growth of the apple and
cherry trees to be so crowded with green and
black bugs as it is at present. Any person
who knows of a remedy for the last named
nuisance should make it known,
—A singular accident occurred at Titusville
a few days ago. A seven year old lad named
Van Sciver was running along the street when
a sharpened slate pencil dropeil out of his
pocket. It struck the walk in such a way
that the point stuck up as his foot came down,
and the pencil was driven almost through the
foot. A surgeon had great difficulty in extract
ing the pencil, its brittleness preventing the
use of plyers to pull it out.
—The two Dukes Jurors who sued the Rrpub
lican Standard of Cniontown for criminal li
bel because of its pungent criticism on their
course in the murder case, were sat down upon
soildly by the grand Jury of good and true
men recently in Fayette county, their bill
being ignored and prosecutors saddled with
the cost. The healthiest thing the Dukes
Jurors can do is to allow themselves to sink in
to obscurity.
—The bridge over the Allegheny river at
East Brady fell into the river last Friday even
ing. There were a number of persons on the
bridge at each end at the time it fell but none
on the central spans. The structure was built in
1868 and had been condemned as unsafe some
time ago. The bridge was built by the Bradys
Bend Iron company, aud for a number of years
was a genuine bonanza to the stockholders and
trustees who foolishly allowed the structure to
get out of order, never painting or making pro
per repairs. The receipts were enormous dur
ing the early days of Butler Co. oil excitement,
before the narrow gnage was built to Karns
City. It is likely the bridge will be rebuilt,
as the bonds are in the hands of the Valley
road.
—The Farmers and Breeders Mutual Live
Stock Association, of this place, has already
paid out nearly SBOO in losses. New policies
are coming in every day and the Association
is in a flourishing condition. Stock raisers all
over Western Pennsylvania take kindly to the
idea of insuring their valuable stock, as there
is no telling when they may lose them. A. J.
Ilaws, proprietor of the Tucker Stock Farm,
in Mercer county, had three valuable horses
killed by lightning on Monday night of last
week. They had been turned out into pas
ture, and were not found until Tuesday after
noon. The field in which they were was an
open one, and the horses were lying some dis
tance from any tree or other object which
draw the currents. One of the beasts was the
celebrated mare, "Fanny H.," for which Mr.
Haws had refused SI,OOO. The other horses
are also of high-bred stock. The loss is a
severe one for Mr. Haws, but it is likely he
had some insurance.
—While a clerk in one of our drug
stores, was preparing some horse liniment last
Thursday evening, the stuff effervesced and
part of it was thrown upon the face and neck
of Elmer, Graham, severely burning him.
The clerk rubbed the burns with castor-oil and
and Graham soon recovered from the shock,
but had the stuff reached his eyes, he would
likely have been permanently injured. The
linimeut contained oil of vitro), which was the
last thing put into the bottle and the sudden
addition of which caused the effervesceuse.
Oil of Vitrol added to any alkali will generate
gas and cause an effervescen.se, similar to that
made by Seidlitz powders,and if the mixture is
confined, as this was, in a bottle, it shoots out
from the opening pretty lively. It is oil of
vitrol that generates the gas in the liabcock
Fire Extinguishers, aud in soda water foun
tains, both of which are made strong enough
to resist the pressure. Soda water reservoirs
are made strong enough to resist a pressure of
from one to two hundred pounds to the sqifhre
inch. This is the first time we ever heard of
the oil being used for medicine for either man
or beast, but perhaps the horse-doctor who
prescribed it knew what he was about,
—Another terrible accident happened in the
Bald Ridge oil district early last Sunday
morning, by which Mr. Richard Walker, a
colored man was killed and his son Newt,
aged about 16 years, was badly injured. Mr.
Walker was in the employ of the Bald Ridge
Oil Co., and had chartto of wells Nos. 14 and 15
on the Smith farm in Forward township,
which are putuped by the steam of one boiler.
About two oclock that morning while he aud
Newt were in the boiler house, the boiler ex
ploded, burniug and scalding him so badly
that he lived but a few hours, anil scalding and
injuring Newt, and throwing hin some distance
into the woods. The crown-sheet of the boiler
was thrown towards the tool houso where a
daughter of Mr, Walter was sleeping, aud
Striking a t»4»e and glanoing from it struck the
*oorof the tool home aud tore it off, but did
not injure the girl. The remains of Mr. Walker
were brought to Butler and interred in the
North Cemetery Monday morning. He came
to this town from Bullion some two years ago
and has been iu the employ of the Bald Kidge
Oil Co. for over a year. He was 4!) years of
age, was a member of the M.E . Church and
leaves a wife and four children in destitute,
circumstances.

The Democratic Convention.
j The delegates of the Democratic party of
this county, met in the hall of the school house
in this town la>t Monday afternoon, at 1
o'clock, and after some delay, were called to
order by Chairman David Marshall, who, after
securing order, announced that the election of
a President for the convention was the first
thing in order. Capt. James Martin was noiu
-1 inated l>y the friends of Judge Bredm, and
John Roth, Esq., by the friends of MeQuis
tion, for the position, and a motion to call the
1 ayes and nays on the question, carried. Mar
shall appointed Messrs. A. Bowers and George
Walter temporary secretaries, and the districts
were called over for the purj>ose of securing a
list of the delegates present A vote was then
taken for President and Capt. Martin secured
secured the position by a vote of 05 to 41, t!:e
delegates from every district, 106 iu all, being
present and voting. Mr. Martin mounted the
platform and made a little speech, lljiiig,
among other things, that he had been a Demo
crat for 45 years, and was one during the war,
when it was necessary for a Democrat to carry
cold steel in order to protect himself. Messrs.
A. P. Stewart, E. 11. Anderson and August
Bowers were then elected Secretaries. A mo
tion was made, seconded and carried that all
persons in the room, excepting delegates, mem
bers of the press, and some gentlemen from
Lawreuce county, be requested to leave it.
This was carried, but the outsiders refused to
leave, and it took a half hour to persuade them
to do so. Jim Gribbeu was the last to surren
der. He was hidden among the delegates, but
a heartless delegate pointed him out to the
"bouncer," and Jim's manly form and smiling
face were passed through the door, amid a
general hand-clapping. A motion to endorse
the candidacy of John McMichael, was made,
and Mr. McConahay, a former District Attor- |
nev of Lawrence county, was invited to make
a few remarks. McC., said that McM was a
credit to the Democratic party and an honor to
the district, asked only justice to him and
don't complain of the treatment he received
ten years ago. He was here to ask Jrom But
ler county that cordial support his ability and
character demanded. Lawrence county was
entitled to one of the Judges, and the Demo
crats of Lawrence county would support the
Butler conntv nominee.' The motion endors
ing McMichael was carried unanimously.
It was then moved and carried that any
who bolted their instructions on First Ballot re
ceive the censure of the convention.
A motion to proceed to the nomination of a
Judge, then prevailed. It meant the fight of
the day and the convention was anxious to
have done with it. P>q. McKee nominated
James Bredm, Thos. McMillan nominated Lev.
McQuistion, and Dan Wallett nominateed L. Z.
Mitchell, but somebody withdrew Mitchell's
name. The roll was then called and the dele
gates voted by districts, generally calling two
for one or the other candidate, and occasionally
one for each. A dozen or more persons kept
the tally, when the last district was called and
it was known that Bredin had received the
most votes, a dozen of McQuistion's friends
were on their feet denouncing the delegates
from Petrolia for bolting their instructions.
Delegate Foote of Petrolia of Petrolia charac
terized their assertions as falsehoods, and was
called upon to show his instructions, which he
did, but as he had no tally sheet, this was called
for, and confusion reigned supreme. A dozen
delegates talking and shouting at the same
time. Roth and Marshall did the most of the
speaking in the McQuistion interest and
Mechlingand McKee for Bredin. The vote
of Connoquenessing South which had voted one
for each, was called in question and delegate
Kaltenbaugh came forward and said that he
had made a mistake and should have voted for
Bredin instead of McQuistion. Anew ballot
was called for but the motion was lest by a
rising vote, and a motion to make Bredin's
nomination unanimous, brought on another
bear garden scene. More speeches were made
for justice, fairness, etc., those by J. M. Mar
shall beginning"Friends Democrats and Fellow
citizens" being particularly eloquent and con
vincing—or at least they might have been
had anybody heard them. Amid the general
confusion, one of the clerks got the attention
if the convention and stated that 108 instead of
106 votes had been cast aud there would have
to be another ballot, and a new motion to that
effect carried. The clerk was called upon to
read the first ballot, which originally stood 55
to 53, but after being corrected stood 50 to 52
in IJrediu's favor. A new ballot was then taken
which resulted in Bredin's nomination by a
vote of 54 to 52. Again was the vote of some
districts called in question and again the whole
convention wanted to talk at the same time
and succeeded in doing so. A motion to make
Bredin's nomination unanimous brought out
cheers and yeas, and also some noes.
McQ's friends felt sore over his defeat, and there
was some talk that evening of his being an in
dependent candidate, but we understand that he
has given that up. Some of McQuistion's
friends think that he was brought out by
Forquer, only to tickle his vanity and kill him
ofl politically, as he (Forquer) is really for
Greer, and intended to help defeat McQuistion
at the fall election if nominated.
After such a fuss it took some time to quiet
the convention, when Frank Ea-.truau, Esq.,
was unanimously nominated for Congress.
George It. White, J. E. Bard, George 11.
Graham and Wm. 11. Hoffman were nominated
for State Senate. Graham's name with
drawn, and Hoffman was nominated on first
ballot, receiving 56 votes to Bard's 35 and
White's 13.
For Assembly, Jacob Zeigler and J. B.
McNair were nominated by acclamation.
For SherilF Buhl, was nominated on first bal
lot, receiving 51 votes to Keasy's 38, Graham's
11, aud Ward's 3, and his nomination was
made unanimous. Ward had released his del
egates before the convention met.
For Prothonotary, Brown was nominated on
first ballot, receiving 61 votes to Cornelius' 45,
aud his nomination was made unanimous.
For Register and Recorder, Aggas was nom
inated on first ballot, receiving 63 votes to
Bedillou's 30, and McKearns' 13, and his nom
ination was made unanimous.
For Treasurer, McElhany was nominated on
first ballot,receiving 55 votes to McKissick's 51,
and his nomination was made unanimous.
For Clerk of Courts, N. Allen was nomi
nated on first ballot, receiving 70 votes to;
Book's 36.
For County Commissioner, Kelly was nom
inated on second ballot, and Collins on fourth.
Esq. I'ringle says that fraud and deception
were practiced in the convention and an
nounces himself as an independent candidate.
J. L. Ilindman and Andrew Harper were
nominated for Auditors, aud Tlieo. Kersting
for Corouer.
No committee on resolutions was appointed
and consequently the convention had none to
act upon, but they passed a resolution to here
after hold their primaries by the Crawford
county system.
James Brittain, Esq., was elected Chairman
of the County Committee, and John Roth, Esq.,
State Committeeman.
