LOCAL AND GENERAL.
The full ripe grain is bend'ng
In waves of golden light;
The new-mown hay is sending
Its sweets upon the night;
The breeze is softly sighing,
To cool the parched flowers;
The rain, to see them dying,
Weeps forth it* geutle showers.
—Last Saturday was the longest day of the
year.
—F>q. Pringle has sold his store to Mr.
McFadden.
—The first volume of Blaiu's book is DOW
being delivered to subscribers here.
—Read John Bickel's mid-summer adver
tisement. He offers some great bargains to
make room for his Fall stock.
—While a class was reciting in the German
Lutheran school, of this town, last Monday
morning, three boys fainted from the excessive
heat.
—There is not a licensed hotel in Forest
county. It is now one of the few genuine tem
perance counties of the State.
—The ha-vest is ripening, and the imple
ment men are on the qui vive for machinery
purchasers. Prices are being cut.
—The notice of the Comstock Light and
Heat Co., of their intention to apply for a
charter, is of interest to the citizens of Alle
gheny township.
—Of sixty-three county superintendents of
school chosen in this State last month there
are 29 Democrats, 33 Republican! and Miss
Anna Buck bee, of Potter county.
—Banged girls are now the chief consumers
of flax seed. They stew it gently and use the
jelly to stiffen the bangs and make 'em stay
where they're put.
—No girl is successful with a hammock
until she can get in and out of the blamed
thing without everybody finding out whether
the stripes on her stockings run 'round and
'round or up and down.
—A fashionable exchange says; "Silver
collars for pet dogs are inscribed; 'l'm Miss
Daisv Jones'dog, whofce dog are you." Must
be rather embarassing when a dude catches
the dog and reads the inscription?"
—P. W. Ixiwry, Esq., took his Sunday School
class up to the Slippery rock, via the 8. AA.
It. R., last Friday. The boys took their lunch
baskets aud fishing tackle with them and
greatly enjoyed themselves.
—The family of Milton Koon, of Worth
township, Mercer county, were poisoned a
couple of weeks since by eating parsnips. Mrs.
Koon died a few day after, and her husband is
yet in a critical condition.
—The Media American boasts of a "standing
population of 2200" in that borough. We can
not boast of so large a standing population in
our borough, but when it comes to the sitting
down population we will show up figures with
any town of its size.
—Neshannock township, Lawrence county
is trying to increase the efficiency of its schools
by employing better teachers, and to get better
teachers is offering better pay, raising the sal
aries one-third —from S3O to S4O per month.
Its action might be commended to the consider
ation of other districts.
—Walla Walla, W. T., has an ordinance l
strictly jnforced, prohibiting any boy or gir
under fourteen years of age being out alone
after dark. That is a good example for other
towns to follow. In the good old days the
knee strap and the hickory gad saved the ne
cessity tor any such ordinance.
—Mr. Charles R. Barchfleld, representing
the firm of McWhinney A Co., of Pittsburgh,
visited our town on business last week. Sev
eral years have passed since Charley's last
visit to the town, and his many friends here
were glad to see him and to again take him by
the hand.
—The sparrows have attacked thn bees.
They eat the heads but take care to leave the
bodies alone. It is about time this pest of a
bird was banished from our midst. They
drive all the song birds away and do nothing
but breed, and fight among themselves.
—Most of the Pennsylvania delegates to the
Democratic Convention will reach Chicago by
jSuiplay evening, July tRh. The delegation
from this State will have their headquarters at
the Grand Pacific Hotel. The Convention
will be composed of 802 delegates, exclusive of
the territories. Under the two-thirds rule, 535
votes will be necessary to make a nomination.
—An exchanges says: ''Milk in the manufac
ture of ice cream is first boiled and afterwards
partly congealed. In boiling a lacteal acid of
bactesiic is set free that, uniting with hypo
sulphide of buteric oxide, again solidifies as a
bi-sulpbide of stumakake in the congealing.
This, when taken into the system, produces
peritonital cramps, frequently ending fatally."
—Cut this out and show it to your girl.
—The Academy Commencement at Prospect
last Friday was a great success. A large crowd
usembled in the grove and all seemed to enjoy
themselves. Col. Bain lectured in the U. P.
Church that evening. The room was crowded
and the recipU amounted to $103.50. For the
term just eyded the Academy had 116 scholars
enrolled.
—A dispatch from Oil City, dated last Fri
day, stated that Calvia N. Payne, one of the
heaviest dealers in the Oil Kxchange ; laid
down that day. lie at one time was considered
one of the wealthiest men in the business, but
has gradually been making lueses. The Clear
ing House showed a difference of $1,500 against
him, which he was unable to meet.
—Two young men of Concord township, late
ly engaged in a whip contest to satisfy them
selves of their staying qualities. Each procur
ed qii favorite wUaleooije, toed the scratch and
dusted each other's breeches in fine style,
fcuriie twenty-five cuts were delivered, when
Loth retired, one exclaiming, "I've got the
li«st whip, and don't you forgot it."
r-f)np of our Democratic oonteuiporarles
likens the adoption of the popular vote hystem
and the discarding of the delegate system of
making nominations, by their party in the
county, to a lot of dancing devils, a Chinaman,
some dressed up fowls, a dog anil a monkey.
If the change is going to have such a terrible
effect on their paity, it should be reconsidered.
—lt doesn't pay to try to beat the printer
out of a few dollars. A former stockholder in
the defunct. Krie bank, who resides in Girard.
f et|rcd from "iP hank several yearu ago and
4flyed three dollars by not publishing tho fact
of his retiring. He will now be compelled to
pay his share of the loss, which it is estimated
will take every dollar that he is worth. There
are several others in the same boat.
—A petition was recently circulated in the
Warren oil exchange, for the purpose of show
ing how many men sign petitions without
reading them. It was a petition to Congress
ended with im appeal to alloy tl.c „igii
to'iinmudia'-ly lynch a certain member of
the exchange. The best part of the joke was
that the member who was to be lynched signed
it iu good faith, as a memorial to Congress.
—The County Commissioners have not yet
decided upon tue plans for a new Court House.
They arc waiting for Mr. Bailey to complete
liis perspectives, when they will make their
decision and soon after be ready to let con
trite. Irt answer to an inquiry regarding
their authority to bqilcl, tl}eir attorney lias
Written a lengthy opinion stating that he is
clear that they have the authority and that it
is their duty to proceed as soon an they oou
veulently can.
—The projectors of the gas well feel justified
by what subscriptions they have received aud
and by what leases they have obtained, iu
going ahead and putting down the well. They
will put it down at a point where they are
sure of obtaining gas, even though that point
be some distance from the town and from the
railroads, as piping the gas a mile or two
wonld be nothing for an extensive manufac
turer. ' ' ; - ' • ' • •- ■
—On Saturday last urude oil was worth but
from o0 to q9 cents a barrel, the lowest price
It has reached since Jiine,'B2, and one to which
{t haj fallen but three times tu jjo ywa-s.
Yesterday the market opened at 59 cents, over
20 cents below the cost of production, which
may l»e fairly estimated at 80 cents a barrel.
This low ma-ket is the result of a disordered
stock market iu New York, fears of a run on
the banks there, and the failure of some of the
heayy stock dealers. The Standard Oil Com
pany is reported to be in close quarters but
the report is uot generally credited.

—There is a young man in Butler who keeps
such lute hours at night that a few poetic
young hwies put their heads together aud
got up the following:
1 winkle, twinkle, little star,
How we wonder where you are,
\\ uuder.ng all the town about,
Does jr«u r mother know you're out?
*beat harvest is completed in the
SouUieia states and is cow in progress in
Missouri and southern Illinois. Referring to
this the Cleveland Leader says that nothing is
better calculated to impress one with the mag
nitude of the I nitcd States aud its tremendous
resources than the stately march of the wheat
harvest from Georgia aud Texas to Dakota and
Minnesota. Already the millsof some portions
of the South are grinding new wheat, and the
reapers are busy iu Kentucky and Southern
Illinois, but it will be August before the grain
of the lied River Valley is cut. It is a great
country whose wheat harvest lasts more than
two mouths.
—Primmer Lesson for Giddy Girls:—Do you
see this Girl, my Child? Yes, I see her often.
V here is the going? She is now on her way to

She wi:l go to the train to *ee the Drummers
and the Other nice Fellows who cuiue to our
town. And then Where? The she will go to
the Postoffiee again. But Does She not go
Home.' Oh, no, she has not Time to < a » Home.
She has to Watch the I'ostclhce and the Trains,
you know, aud Her Mother Attends to the
Home Duties. The above lrom an exchange
is pretty good, and the feilow who got it up
should wiite another for giddy boys.
—Mr. J. B. Hill, the agent of the Pittsburgh
Fire Arms Co., for the Harden Hand Grenade
Fire Extinguisher, made some satisfactory ex
periments on our streets a few evenings since.
Some store-boxes were piled up, saturated
with petroleum, and then set on fire, and after
they were completely enveloped in fl; mes, a
pint bott'e of the stuff thrown iu among the
boxes with enough force to break it iustantlv
put out the fire. The bottles contain an acid
which, coming in contact with heat generates
a gas which extinguishes all flames. It is a
wonderful inventiou and may become very
popular.
—Tramps are getting numerous all over the
country, and reports of robberies and other
crimes directly tracable to them are becoming
frequent. So far our community hps escaped,
but no person living at a distance from neigh
bore should leave his family unprotected, day
or night. A trusty dog is some protection, but
a loaded gun or revolver in the hands of a
woman or girl who lrnows how to use it, and
will not hesitate to do so if occasion demands,
is a safeguard which even the most villianous
tram]> can be made to respect. Farm bells, if
located where they can be called into use, will
serve to drive off most tramps, yet a gun is the
safest.
—Nearly two years ago a gang of burglars
were captured and lodged iu jail at Me.cer for
depredations committea in that county. They
afterwards managed to break jail and make
good their escape. About two months ago
Sher.ff Kile, of Mercer, was notified of the ar
rest at Lawrence, Mass., of two men suspected
of being burglars, aud who were supposed to
belong to the gang above mentioned. Their
photographs were sent to Mercer aud were ?t
once recognized a.s being Harry Brown, nick
named the "old man," and Ed. A. Lane, nick
named "the slek man." They were tried last
week at Lawrence on the charge of having
burglars' implemeuts in their possession and
were each sentenced to ten years iu the peni
tentiary.

JULY FOURTH.
Grand Celebration in Butler.
It is over thirty years since the good old cus
tom of celebrating the natal di>v of the country
has fallen into dis.ise, but it is the deteraiina
tion of the jieople, that this year, the eust-m
shall be revived.
I»utl«*r. July Fomlli. issl.
It is expected to have a grand demonstration
iu honor of one —to-day the freest and grandest
Na'iou of the world. Let not the trials of our
forefathers be forgotten, let it not be said i.i
history that the children of those who treed
them hpve forgot.en their forelathers or re*us
ed to cherish tneir memory.
i;;«.
I.et the glorious day not perish from the
memory of the present or future generation. On
July 4," of that year there rang out to the world
t':e glad cry of Freedom.
IA-1 US all turn out to celebrate the natal day
of Independence, The desire 01 the com mi.'tee i
having the matter 111 charge is that ever/ town- •
snip and borough iu the county shall *-end a
delegation, to participate in this grand celebra- :
tion. Let the old und young, men and boys, j
women aud children turn cut. There will be j
both Brass aud Martial Hands in attendance to j
discourse music. National sougs will be sung I
by di2'ereut glee clubs.
A (iIJAXD I'AUAIti:
Will take place at 10 A. M., or as soon as all the j
delegations thrive from the townships and bor- j
oi'giis. There will also be a grand Fantastic i
Parade on horseback by some of the young j
Americans, ana present preparations insure ,t
a success. .\ wagon containing young g.rls, J
representing every State, and bearing the j
badge of each will be oue of the attractions.
Au invitation is extended to all. Let us re
vive the good old custom of celebraiing the
np..al dry of our country. Come in wagon",
carriages and by railroad.
There will also be as one interest.ng partol
the program, the iiaiade in ihe general process
ion of the Sullivan Guards, followed by ttie
various civic organizations of Butler,and o'hers
wno wish to come; also, the First and Seeond
Ward Hose Companies—the carriages drawn
by horses, the members following on foot; and
af.er these citizens iu carriages, on horseback
and on loot.
It Is Kequested
That as there are 365 days .n the year to devote
toother things, that politics and everything
else shall be left out for one day and all irre
spective of political cr church nreterencesshaU
join in the public celebration ot the Ith of J uiy,
1884.
It is due ix> the memory of the fathers who
foaght for oi'r liberties, as well as to inculcate
in the hearts of our cniidren that this great day
should be remembered: the lirst blood ol Le-C
--iugion is as dear to us to-day as to the man who
shed it in defense of his,future co jutry. He lit
tle dreamed that the bullet which hit hiui'caused
The Declaration oi Independence,
and that the inspiration of that document made
us free; Then come one and all:
Come, as the waves come;
When navies ore stranded;
Come, as the winds come,
When forests are rendetl,
And join in a good olu Fourth ot duly, which
your fathers used to have in the days tone by.
After the procession is over there will be all
kinds of amusements at the Fair Grounds,
including horse racing, balloon ascensions,
also a grand display of lire-works and all kinds
of entertainments, refreshments, dancing.
Music furnished by brass and string bands,
now eugaged, from home and abroad.
t l.OiiAli II AM..
will be open for dancing all afternoon and even
ing. The best of order will be maintained and
all ca.i enjoy themselves.
There will be no pains spared on the part of
the management to see that every thing is done
in good order.
For special items see issued, in regard
to rac'ng and other amasements.
But once again we say to all, let them enjoy
as youths—as their fathers did before—a glori
ous 4th of July celebration. Let us link the
thoughts of our fathers with those ot the sons,
and abide by the Constitution of the country.
