—The hand-bill and dodger advertiser is

last year's almanacs are out of fashion. He
may be a decent man and a good one, but he

cover that a live ad. in a paper is worth a
thousand dead dodgers in tne gutter.

Doth located in the mountains from 8000 to
10,000 feet above sea level.
—One of the Brace brothers, the proprie
tors of the largest laundry in Pittsburg, was
visiting in Butler this week. The laundry
business in a city is something that few peo
ple in the country have any conception of.
The Brace Bros., for instance, employ 125
persons, do all their washing and ironing by
machinery, and turn out about $2500 worth
of work per week. Their office is at No. 14
Sixth street, and their laundry is in the East
End. Their plant is worth about $60,000,
and they pay SSOO a year for water.
—A lady who cans a great deal of fruit
and who in common with every housewife,
has been vexed at the manner in which
light fruits, such as strawberries, rise Ito the
top in a can, leaving the liquor beneath,
gives us the following receipt to remedy the
same: "If your fruit rises to the top, let it
stand a short time, then shake vigorously
and invert the jar, leaving it in this position
for a day, when it may be placed upright.
The fruit will then be found to occupy the
can equally." The receipt comes handy at
this season of the year.
—The measuring of the candle power of a
light is accomplished bv comparing the
shadow cast by a rod in the light of a stand
ard candle with the shadow cast by the light
to be tested. By moving the latter toward
at away from the rod a point will be reached
at which the shadow cast by both lights will
be of the same intensity. The intensity of
the two lights is directly proportional to the
squares of their distances from the shadows;
4. suppose the light to be tested is three
* times tne distance of the candle, its illumin
ating power is nine times as great.
—Two men, who gave their names as
Brodie and Stowe, came to Butler several
days ago with a stock of goods, consisting of
clocks, hammocks, etc. These they stowed
in a room in one of our boarding houses, and
attempted to sell to our storekeepers. They
got the goods from a wholesale house in
Pittsburg on an order or recommendation
purporting to be Bigned by Mr. Norton, of
the Anderson Hotel, but as they did not pay
for them at the time agreed upon, the whole
salers inquired of Mr. Norton, and finding
that the order was a forgery, sent word here
to the Sheriff to arrest them. This was done,
and the agent of the firm came up next day
with a warrant and took them to Pittsburg.
—M. IP. Lynch, formerly of Great Belt,
bat now of Allegheny county, was arrested
in Butler last Tuesday night for being drunk
ftpd disorderly, and put in the lockup. The
next morning he was taken before Esq.
Walker, who fined him $5 and oosts. under
. the borough ordinance. Lynch declined to
V paj, and demanded a regular hearing—some
\ thing that the law does not provide for in
\ such cases—saying that he could prove that
\he was not drunk or disorderly. He then
f demanded an appeal, a thing that can be
f granted or not at the option of the county
/ fiobrt, and gave ball \o appear within five
/ days. If'tile casg goej $ Qoqrt, this <{(s-
J puted point in the jurisdiction of' a Jqstiqe

Ou the sth of July, 177G, John Adams
wrote: . ,
"Yesterday the greatest question was de
cided which was ever debated in America,
and greater, perhaps, never was or will be
decided among men. A resolution was pass
ed, without one dissenting colony, 'That
these United States are, and of right ought
to be, free and independent States.'
"I am apt to believe it will be celebrated
by succeeding generations as the great an
niversary festival."
John was right, the day has since been,
and always will be celebrated as the greatest
of National birth days, and this year in But
ler, a special effort will be made to make
the day a success. There will be a parade
in the morning, of which a program will be
seen below, a speech by S. F. Bowser,
Esq., from the balcony of the Lowry House,
and fireworks and picnics that
evening. There are enough fireworks stor
ed in Butler at present to shake the earth
upon which the town stands, to fill the at
mosphere with smoke, the sky with artificial
stars, and last but not least, to anninilate the
fingers of all the small boys. Fireworks are
beautiful things, but they should be handled
cautiously. The boys might take a lesson
from the "following old rhymes.
Ten little Angers toying with a mine-
Bang! went the powder and then there were
nine.
Nine little fingers fixing rockets straight-
Zip ! a kick backward, and then there were
eight,
Eight little fingers pointing up to heaven—
Roman candle "busted" and then there were
seven.
Seven little fingers punk and powder mix-
Punk was ignited, and then there were
six.
Six little fingers for a "sisser" strive—
One went off with it, and then there were
five.
Five little fingers loading for a roar-
Boom ! went the cannon, and then there were
four.
Four little fingers with a pack made free-
Crash ! went a cracker, and then there were
three.
Three little fingers found the fuse burned blue
Bomb shell too previous, and then there were
two.
Two little fingers having lots of fun-
Pistol exploded, and then there were
one.
One little finger fooling with a gun—
Didn't know 'twas loaded, and then there was
none.
The Fourth.
At the meeting of the Fourth of July com
mittee Tuesday evening, the Finance Com
mittee reported having raised S2OO on a par
tial canvass of the town, the Music Commit
tee were instructed to make contracts with

strawberries sold in market here were raised
in this county—notably at Euclid and I'or

for berries and country produce, a fact that
our farmers and gardeners should make a note
of. Some of the employes of the Plate Glass

A boy was going down the street
With his elbow in his car,
Inquiring the pric3 of fire works,
He said t'was strange but queer.
When he came along by No. 3
Ilis heart began to cheer;
With one tremendious jell and bound
He pulled his elbow out of bis ear.
Hurray for tbe Fourth, boys,
We will buy our fire works here,
For we can save more money
Than we can make in a year.
