Patterson was the first person in Butler to put the patent railroad cash-box system into his store-room. It is a very convenient arrangemant and is quite a curicsitT.

Brown next day, and gave bail for court. —The best way to clean hair brushes is with spirits of ammonia, as its effect is imme diate. No rubbing is required, and cold wa ter can be used as successfully as warm. Take a teaspoonful of ammonia, dip the hair part of the brush without wetting the ivory, and in a moment the grease is removed; then rinse in cold wafer, shake well, and dry in the air, but not in the sun. Soda soap soft ens the bristles and iavariably turns ivory yellow. —The graduating class of our Public School consisted of sixteen members this year—seven young ladies and nine young men—and their commencement exercises held iu the Opera Honse last Thursday even ing were well attended by our citizens, and passed off very pleasantly.

James may yet keep his engagement with the Sheriff. —The ordinary street lamps, the ones en closed with glass, are not a success with nat ural gas, but tbe open ones, particularly the cup-shaped ones known as Todd's patent, do very well. They are a success in more ways thau one, in that they destroy the bugs and insects in thc-ir yicinity. These creatures persist in flying into the flames till their wings get scorched when they drop to the ground. Chickens thrive on insects and it might pay a person who was raising large numbers of poultry to erect a standpipe for natural gas in his coop or enclosure. —The Reibold oil field was the scene of a heavy wind storm last Monday afternoon, which snapped large trees, upset derricks and unroofed shanties. Mr. T. W.

Then the Adccrtiter man said it was when Pharaoh receive*! a check on the Bank of the Red Sea, and Moses passed it. The Press rejoined by asking if, before the Pharaoh business, Rebecca didn't give Abraham's servant a draught wl.ich he accepted? They must lie short of Bibles over in Mercer. Haven't they ascertained that Adam and his wife got trusted for a suit of clothes before their eject ment from the Garden of Eden? And, for that matter, didn't Adam subsequentlv fail in .the Cain-rsising business ?— Frank tin News.

Sup't of Schools. Slipperyrock, Pa. Fatal Accident on the P. & W. While some men were switching loaded lumber cars at Callery Junction last Wed nesday afternoon, a car escaped tnern and started on the down grade towards Evans City. Two men rau after it but could not overtake it, and on the sharp curve on the Marburger farm uluut a niile below the Junctiou, it met and came in collision with the Express for Pittsburg. The fireman of the Express saw the car first, and had time to drop to the floor of the cab. He was thrown out and escaped without serious in juries, but the engineer, a man naued Shook, who lives at Mars Station, was instantly killed, his skull being fractured and his neck broken. None other of the trainmen or pas sengers were hurt. The engine was badly used up. Memorial Day. Decoration or memorial Day was more en thusiastically observed iu Butler this year than it lias been for years. The day was all that could be desired, and our streets were crowded with people. Tbe two brass bands of Butler and the Eureka drum corps fur nished the music, and these, with the mem bers of the G. A. R., the Sons of Veterans, the llose Companies, the Odd Fellows' Lodge, Orphans, and others, made a very im (>osing parade. The graves of all the soldiers >uried in the three cemeteries were decorated and the services at tbe North Cemetery were impressive and well conducted; Comrade J. H. Sutton made a good address. The dav was observed all over the country, and this unflagging interest in Decoration day, speaks well for the American people. —The price of ordinary package coffee was raised to 28 cents a pound last week, and a good article of loose, roasted Rio went to fancy figures. The csuies of this startling ad vance are stated to be an increase in the con sumption and a shortage iu the crops of Bra zil, Java and Ceylon, but speculation is al ways the half of it. The present syndicate which is booming prices is composid of New V'ork, French and Brazilian houses, and one New York house is said to have already cleared over half a million dollars on the rise. Gambling in coffee has run wild iu that city, and a bag of coffee that cost £l3 a year ago is uow sold at s2t>. The shortage iu the Ceylon and J r.va crops is attributed to a leaf disease, but no reason is given for the alleged shortage iu Brazil, and there proba bly is noue of any acoount. A gentleman who has traveled all over Brazil told m a short time ugo that the coffee crop of that country resembled the wheat crop of this country, and that there was but little varia tion in it. If the present condition aid prices continue, the people of this country will pay many millions more for their coffee this year than last, uuless they see fit to paralyze the speculators by discontinuing tho use of the article for a few weeks. Ready for the 4th. The 4th of July, the anniversary of the Nation's birthday, is our next holiday, and as fire works are an es sential element iu its celebration, the Pape brothers have prepared for it by purchasing the largest, best selected aud most expensive stock ever brought to Butler. It consists of bombs, mines, rockets, candles, tri angles. pin-wheels, large and small fire-crackers, and every other design of firo-works now manufactured and of the latest designs. Everything in tbe market from tbe smallest to the largest, &Dd from the cheapest to the most expensive, can be found in their arsenal, in the rear of Mrs. Pape's store-room. Remember that the place to buy your fire works is at tbe PAPE BROS'. —All the newest things in Dress Qoods at L. Stbin A SON'S. COMMUNICATIONS, Heilson Earth. lluOKEit, May 30, ISB7. MESSRS EDITORS: Please give space iu your valuable paper for me to say a few words in regard to some things 5a our midst, which in my opinion ought uot to bo. There are dens kept, kept up by men who claim to be respectable,which are little else than hells on earth. A man will get up on a dance,send out his cards or verbal invitations to the young folks ia tbe neighborhood to come aud have a good time, and a large number will go, spend four or five dollars thev cannot afford to spare and possibly get robbed of what lit tle they may have left. This with out a single chance of indemnifica tion. At these places, although there is no license to sell Intoxicants, there is some way for the youag raja to get drunk and have a row before they leave. Frequently the proprietors of these places choose such a tima for their work as will be most antago nistic to christian people. If their should be a religious meeting going on in the neighborhood and a likeli hood that some of the yonng folks may be brought to see the error of their ways, then these would be re spectable men will send out their in vitatious for their dance, to divert the minds of the young people and draw them away to these little hells. Know, O, ye would be respectable men! "he that converts a sin ner from the error of his ways, saves a soul lrom death aud hide 3 a multi tude of sins " So we may infer th£. he that prevents a sinner from beiug converted, may cause a soul to be lost and uncover a multitude of sics. Should not such places be dealt with a.3 a public nuisance? Or should the butter clas of people lie dormant and let such places go unheeded. We believe such places worse than licensed houses, for they get all tbe liquor they want and nobody seems to be responsible. Furthermore we doubt the sincerity of any professing Christian who encourages such places bv attending them themselves, or by encouraging or permitting their chil dren to attend them. We believe there arc persons in our midst whose children are more often found in ball room, than in prayer meeting or Sab bath School. These places have become so noto rious that they are an insult to com mon decency and should not be toler ated any longer. One of the bad features of these places is the lateness they are kept open. Iu the nights the roughs going home, between midnight and morning, are in the habit of screaming like wild animals, calling people from their bed thinking the house is on fire, only to be salut ed by a volley of oaths and vulgarity. Will some one be so good as to sug gest a way ot putting a stop to these things and oblige many lovers of morality and good order? I hope no one will infer from thes'e lines that these places are located just here, a-j that is not the case, but we are un fortunately on the line of travel to and from them and are subjected to insults from persons from a distance besides the mortification of knowing that some of our own neighborhood are participants in the carousals. J • Hallston Items. The farmers have finished planting corn and potatoes. Mr. James McXees, manager of the Hallston pottery, has his machin ery in operation and is doing a fine business. There will be a strawberry and ice cream festival at St. Johu's M E Church, near Hallston station, on Wednesday evening June Bth, all are invited. Proceeds for the benefit of the Church, Rev. J. L. Mechling, pastor of St John's M. E, Church, was unable to preach last Sabbath from sick head ache. Mrs. Harlan Book is very ill with heart diseaee. We hope for her re covery. Candidates are plenty. May 28. C. O. D. From Montana. BUTTE CITY, May 25, 1887. J. H. N EOLEY, ESQ , Dear friend: — Common partriotism prompts every good citizen to rejoice in the growth and prosperity of the different sec tions of this great country of ours. As the little rills mtfko the mighty river so all that tends to promote the peace, happiness and prosperity of the community or hamlet, however humble, or remote it may be fro i the great centres of trade and influence, affects for good the thermometer of general prosperity ic the country at large. Besides we are enjoined in the* Book of books to "rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep." In this mountain region we find much over which we can and do rejoice, and not a little that might well cause every virtuous, law abiding citizen (not to say chris tian) to weep for ahame; but as for the latter t'were better to "tell it not in Oath." But if your many readers would rejoice with the people of Western Montana over the rich treas ures that have so long been hidden away in the mountains, but are now being brought out to make the world richer, perhaps they may have the patience and courage to read a news paper article occasionally from these parts. This hope--feiut though it is —will help to keep up the courage of your correspondent, while he under takes to redeem his promise to write for the CITIZEN. But Mr. Editor if at any time your sympathy for your readers should be aroused, and you should—well it will not be necessary to do anything desperate, for you know an editor's waste basket,like his pocket book, is never full. By reference to the report of the Director of the Mint for the year 1885 it will be seen that Colorado stood at the head of the list as a gold and sil ver producing State; that California ranked second and Montana Territo ry third. The report from the same office for 1880 shows Colorado still in the lead, with a gold and silver out put for that year of $30,000,000 But California and Montana have changed places, and Montana stands second, her mines having produced $17,000,000, in gold and silver. But the Mint Director in making his esti mates of the output of the mines of the several States and Territories,did not take into account the value of the copper productions. Montana is rich in copper as well as in gold and sil ver. The copper production of Mon tana last year amounts to over $7,- 000,000, which added to the gold and silver output foots up $21,000,000, and places Montana at the head of the list, or $4,000,000 ahead of the metalic production of Colorado. But the good people of Montana are not llndiutf fault with t-itbtr Colorado cr he Director of the Miat; they seem tO think that to have surpassed Cali fornia ifi the production of jrold and silver id glorr enough for oao year, wiiiie it is well kuown that the out put for thi present \ear v, ill be n:u h larger than ever before and they con fidently expect that when the re turns for ISS7 are :tl! in that. Monta na will be first on the list and Colora do second. Yours very truly, 134 th Re-union. There will be a reunion of the 134 th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, on June 9th at Rock Point, one of the finest groves in Western Penn sylvania The grounds are fitted up in olegaut shape.and persons wishing to take a day of rest and pleasure will do well to join us and make this reunion a grand success. Governor Beaver and staff, Col Quay aud other prominent men of the State will be present. Will you join us? All are invited. Ering your families,and . don't forget your baskets. We prom- j ise vou a big time for very little mou- ! ey."

Don't forget the date, Juue 9th, soldiers re union at Rock Point. All soldiers, soldiers sons, widows and daughters are particularly invited aud expected to be present. Good brass band will be in attendance and the btst string music for dancing has been engag ed. Let everybody turn out. Bloodshed at Natrona. Since the beginning of the strike at Xatrona, fears have been entertained that a disturbance would occur. It seems that the better feeliug has at last resulted in bloodshed", and will perhaps cause a d<;ath. Late last Saturday night a dispatch from Na trona gave the startling intelli gence that the non-union men at the Pennsylvania Salt manufacturing works had fired into a knot of five or six men from Creighton, who were standing above the depot. Two of them were struck, and one, a man named Green, was shot in the breast, and at first it was reported that his wounds were fatal. The other receiv ed two slight wounds. Later inves tigation showed that Green's injuties were not so bad as reported and he was taken to his home at Creighton. For some time past there has beeu various stories told of the arming of the non-union men at the works. It is said they were furnished by the firm with English bulldog revolvers, and not long since it was reported that they had a shooting-match among themselves in the works. The strike of the Natrona mon is to be brought before the general offi cers of the Knights of Labor. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
