The Leb anon Comity Court decided that he mu3t pay the S2OO for practicing in that couuty and not registering there. This the Supreme Court affirmed. The decision means that physicians must register in every couuty in which they practice. Dr. Ege has since regis tered in Lebauon. The prosecutor gets half the fine. —Judge J. F. Stewart, of Paintsville, Ken tuckey, who presided at the silver weding of his brother, A. G. Stewart, of Connoquenes sing township, is one of the most successful Butler county men that we ever heard of. When a boy he wai troubled with in tlamma tory rheumatism and sought a milder climate in 1856 by emigrating to Kentucky. He lo cated in Johnson county, r.iisal a .company at the beginning of the war and fought -on the Union side, of course—for four years as its captain, was elected to the State legisla ture after the war, served a term as Law Judge of his district, and is now a U. S. Dis trict Attorney, and counsel for a strong rail roed company. The well worded accouut of the silver wedding that we published last week was written by Mr. E. J. McJuukin. —From the society items of the Sun/lay Lradrr we take the following: Out in Butler a pretty church wedding brought together a number of the friends of the bride and groom on Tuesday morning. Sharp on the stroke of six the bridal party en'ered and made its way to the altar, where the solemn ritual of the Catholic church was conducted by Rev. Father Nolan, he finally pronouncing Mr. James Cain, of the Butler Glass company, formerly of Starpsburg, and Miss Minnie Rbeinlander, of Butler, one. The bride looked very sweet in an exquisite dress of pink satin veiled in white lace. A wedding breakfast, at which none but immediate rela tives were present, followed closely 011 the Qeremony. The presents were beautiful' in cluding an immense collection of silverware. Mr. and Mrs. Caiu will reside in Butler, They have postponed their wedding trip un til July, when they will travel for a couple of month*. The Democrat Convention. The Democratic Return Judges mot in the o,>era House last Monday and oririnizi il by electins Jacob Zeigicr President; deo. R. White, C'. M. Heineman and Xicol Allen, Sec retaries; and James H. Tebay, Geo. Marburger and J. McKee, a commit tee to tabulate and count the vote. The returns were handed in to the President, who read them aloud and then turned them over to the committee. All the returns ex cepting that of Washington N., were on hand, and the committee was in structed to count it in when it came. A Committee on Resolutions con sisting of Geo 11. Graham, R. L Black, Ed. Donahue, Samuel Beers and G. D. Swain was appointed by the chair. These gentlemen retired and soon after came in with a string of resolutions re-alfirmiDg the princi ples of the Chicago platform, endors ing Cleveland as President, and John G. Carlisle as Speaker of the House, denouncing the Republican party and the Republican Legislature, praising the Judges of the Judicial district and denouncing the Republican con vention and press for reflecting upon them, denouncing gambling in the necessaries of life, endorsing the candidates nominated, aud nominat ing Judge McMichael for Supremo Judge. The resolutions were read and all of them were satisfactory to the entire convention excepting the 6th which reads as follows: 6th, That the people of this Judi cial district have reason for congratu lation that the important office of Judge is held by men whose private characters aud judicial honesty aud integrity are above reproach, and it is a pleasure to know that their judi cial actions can neither be shaped nor controlled by whispered instructions or public demonstrations, aud that we deplore the action of the Republi can party, through its convention and press, in unjustly reflecting upon the judicial action of our Courts. And a motion to strike out all of the resolution after the word "re proach" started a discussion that last ed over an hour. Mr. Black of Uar risville, Geo. White and C. M. Ileine man of Butler and others were in fa vor of striking out that part of the resolution, os a matter of policy, etc., but Geo. 11. Graham and other gen tlemen whose names we do not know were in favor of letting it remain, and of standing on true Democratic principles, showing their colors, etc , and they finally carried the day, aud the objectionable words remained as a part of the resolution. They are simply a bid for the whiskey vote. W. H. Martin, Jacob Ziegler, Geo. Graham, Jas. McMichael, G. D. Swain and Jos. Yanderlin were nom inated for Delegates to the State Con vention, which meets at Allentown in August. Graham and McMichael withdrew and the other four were elected by acclamation. Frank M. Eastman and John M. Roth, Esqrs., were nominated for Chairman. Eastman received 24 votes and Roth 19, and then Roth was elected a member of the State Committee by acclamation. The tellers the announced the vote as follows: For Sheriff—A, P. Stewart, 1144; Thos, Donaghy, 920; F. C. Buhl, 419; D M. Ward, 87. For Co. Commissioners—John C. Kelly, 1520; J. M. Louden, 1143; N. J. Reott, 754; J. E. Miller, Gl4; J, Lefever, 407;" T. Morrow, 252 For Auditor—H H. Aderhold, 1440; J. L. Hindman, 1300; A. Korn, 808; J. Bulford, 459. For Coroner—T. Ker3ting, 27G; Jas. Gillespie, 172. For Popular Vote—ls36; against popular vote, 548. Jos. Timmony for Clerk, J. W. Brown for Prothonotary, and G. F. Easly for Treasurer had no opposition whatever and of course were nomin ated, and Jacob Keck of Butler for Register and Recorder virtually had none, and was also nominated. A Horrible Death. A month or so ago Mr. Elmer Dobson, of Clay twp„ traded horses with his cousin, Howard Pryor, a liyeryman of Sunbury. The horse he secured was supposed to be suffer ing from distemper and Elmer treated him for that, but when he ascertain ed he had the glanders he returned him. Elmer bad a slight scratch or wound on his right hand, which two week 3 ago, became inflamed and swollen, and he became so sick that he had to take to his bed. A physi cian was sent for, who at first sup posed that the young man was tak ing a fever, as he had all the first symtoms of typhoid, but after a few days he became convinced that the horse's disease had been communica ted to Elmer and pervaded his whole system. Large, hard lumps appeared all over his body,his eyes became inflam ed, his muscles would contact like those of a person suffering from in flammatory rheumatism, his suffer ing was intense and on Tuesday last he died as horrible a death as one could imagine. Ho was a fine young man, but 21 years of age, and was the sole sup port of his mother and aged grand mother. The horse is said to be yet alive and if all the facts are as stated to us, it might be well for the people of that vicinity to investigate the matter. There is a law regarding pleura pneumonia in cattle, but none regard ing glanders in horses,which is by far the most dangerous disease. Bold Burglars. FREEFOKT, PA., June 12—Rob bers entered the residence of H. Lo gan Weaver last night and robbed him of over SIOO of money and valu ables. They crept, into hia bedroom while he was asleep, took his pants and vest which contained STO in money and his watch and chain. His pants and vest were found in Mr. Sypbax's yard. The keys to his store and safe were found one equare above on the pavement. They took milk and edibles and ate a midnight lunch in his back yard and left. Mr. Weaver says they can have all the money if they will only leave his watch where he can get it, as it was a keepsake that money could not buy. His name is engraved on the watch in two places and can easily be identi fied. There are some good clues which, if followed up, will bring the parties to justice ere long. "The Octoroon."

A wire clothes line connects the house and the tree, and the lightning followed the line from the tree to the house, where it entered at a pantry window, which was raised about two inches. It left no trace around the window, but tore the door of a cupboard which stood near by, to splinters, and moved the whole cupboard about two inches from the wall. Some of the knives in the cupboard were melted, and here it seems to have lost its force, as no further damage was done and its exit could not be traced. —Some people in this town, says the Sharon Herald are experiencing a novel sensatiou just now—they are actually having to pay their taxes, a thing they were never known to do before. Collector J L. Miller was instructed some time ago by the school board to proceed against sev eral who have been earning good wages, sls to S2O a week, for years, and sending several children to school but would not pay a cent of tax. And they are only paying now because it is either pay or go to jail. —A strange incident has happen ed in Armstrong county of a brother and sister living near each other for twenty years and not knowing it. The sister is Mrs Rev. (T. Focht, of New Salem, formerly a Miss Turner, and the brother was Mr. G. W. Turner, of Brookville. Twenty years ago Mr. Turner was living at Kellers burg, Armstrong county, Pa., and at. that time Rev. G. Focht stopped at the hotel for dinner on his way with his family to New Salem after annual Conference, Rev. Mr. Focht nor Mr. Turner knowing nothing of each other being in the country. It was reported that Mr. Turner had been killed in the war, and when he came home he learned that bis sister had moved West somewhere. A few days ago Mr. Focht was in Brookville where he was introduced to Mr. Turner. In a conversation the two men discovered they were brothers in-law. Mr. Turner went home with Mr. Focht and there met his sister for the first time in twenty years. The meeting was a joyful one -Kiltanning Press. A Crash in Coffee. A decline of 7 cents a pound in the the price of green coffee, caused a panic in the New York Coffee Ex change, and the suspension of three large house, whose liabilities aggre gate a million and a quarter. In April, 1880, Messrs. J. J. o'- Donohue & Sou, W. 11. Crossman & Bro., and several Havre bankers se cured possession of 500,000 bags or more of coffee in the market and man ipulated the market so that by April last they were able to get out with a profit averaging upward of 7i cents per pound. The net profits of the deal were about $5,000,000. They had bulled the market upon the pros pects of a short crop for 188G-7. The crop for 1885-6 was 5,505,000 bag 3, and when the syndicate saw in April last that the receipts ai Rio were 480,000 bags per month and the crop for the current year promised to be largely in excess of the year previous, tbey let go all their holdings, but in a careful way, so as not to break prices and lessen their profits. Then the Brazilian syndicate came into the market. It is said by those who have watched the market that they held 700,000 bags, and that the members have inside of three or four days been called upon for §1,500,000 cash for margins. It was this syndi cate Mr. Arnold represented in the trade. They have had almost com plete control of the market since tbey began operations and ran the prices of coffee up to 21 and 22 cents. It is believed some of the members have unloaded and that the holdings are much less than when the break be gan. Fatal Accident. While Mr. James A. Maxwell, of near Butler, was assisting to build a barn for John Arthurs of Jefferson twp , last Monday afternoon, a log slipped and struck him across the left face and breast, injuring him so badly that he died next morning, During thfc war Mr. Maxwell was a member of Co.

"I UFed it ia the spring of 1885 with excellent results for bronchitis and catarrh, and I taken pleasure in recommending it to invalids Several have sent (or it and it has worked well; I think it wiil do good to all." So writes a clergyman in Portland, Me., when writing Opt. 11, 1886, to Drs. Starkey & I'alen to send him another full Treatment of Compound Oxygen. This Compound Oxygen has a his tory wonderful in its way, and worth reading by everybody whose lifj is worth preserving. This history is embodied in a very interesting two hundred page treatise, which is sent Iree by mail on application. Please address Drs. Starkey it Palen, 152'J Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa. General Notes. There is a <*ood deal of quiet but effective sarcasm in this world. It is now hinted that the Rev. Sam Jones is an evangelist "for rev enue only." In comparison with the horde of office-seekers who infest Washington President Cleveland regarded the swarms of black (lies and mosquitoes at Saranac as a utero trill'? not to be mentioned. A revival preacher addressed a Tennessee audience as a lot of "two legged" hags The next week he ap pealed to his hearers by calling them "pusillanimous skunks." Religion seems to have a queer effect on some men The injunction to "heap coals of fire on an enemy's head" cannot al ways be obeyed, when poor tenants have only bog peat for fuel; but the forgiving nature of the Irish is shown bv their coming as near obedience as possible—pouring hot water on the heads of their evictors. The Welsh have profited by the ex perience of the Irish in resisting the police. At Denbigh last Saturday a mob gathered to prevent a sale for the collection of tithes, but instead of subjecting themselves to arrest they merely, in the words of the dispatch, "turned loose an excited bull.'' The result was that the police were routed, reinforcements of troops were ordered up, nud only one ar rest was made pcrsuniably not the bull's. Seeing an advertisement in a New York paper hew to strengthen the memory, a party of Nashville busi ness men clubbed together and seat SSO for the recipe. It read thus: "Read everything you see carefully and repeat it three times a day as long as you live, and your memory will be greatly improved." Saturday last eleven great steam ships sailed from New York to Euro pean ports, not one of them carrying the American Hag. They were all crowded with Americans, however.
