This is a good idea and tiie sooner it is done the better, but the trouble will be to find a suitable base. The Dia mond would seein to be the proper starting ]>oint, but by general consent, the street in front of the Court House should come down at least two feet. —Here is a nut for the school boy to crack: '•A clerk counted out a basket of eggs, took out two at a time and one remained; he took out three at a time and one remained; he took oiit four at a time and one remained; five at a time and one remained; six at a time and one remained; but when he took out seven at a time none remained. How many eggs were in the basket?" —A draft has been made of the addition to the North Cemetery and also of the new Catholic Cemetery. The Directors of the two cemeteries met the other night and agreed to have but one entrauce for both, a broad roadway to separate them. Twenty acres will be added to the North Cemetery-, and the Catholic Cemetery will also contain twenty acres. —A rather singular accident befell the lit tle 5-year-old daughter of B. C. Ithodes, of New Castle, last Monday. She was playing with several children, who were tossing gravel iu the park. One of the smallest peb bles, falling on the little one's head, punctur ed an artery. The child fell instantly in an unconscious condition. The little one is now out of danger. —The law prohibiting the killing of a calf before it has attained the proper age is very stringent. It provides "that any person who kills or causes to be killed, with intent to sell the meat for family use, a calf less than lour weeks, or knowingly sells or has in his possession such meat, with the intent to sell the same for such use to foreign market, shall be imprisoned not more than sis months or fined more than S3OO. —The saying that "lightning never strikes twice in the snme place" is contradicted by the experience of Mrs. Peter Biehl, who while sitting on lier back porch during the thunder storm of last Wednesday afternoon, saw the lightning strike the brick pavement between the porch and the pump twice iu the same place, and throw bricks and cinders to a distance of seventy-five feet. A pine tree in the Orphans' Home grounds was struck during the same storm. —The latest snake story cn-ues from Woos tcr, 0., as follows: While Miss Emma Saal was sweeping, a milk snake over two feet in length secreted itself among the folds of her skirts and crawled to her waist, where it re mained while she went calling. She felt the snake, but supposed the feeling was caused by a disarrangement of her wearing apparel. Several house later the snake was accident ally discovered coiled around her ankle, from which it was dislodged and killed. —Another is added to the list of remark able surgical operations performed in differ ent parts of the country within a short time. It was in the case of a man at Buffalo who had taken aa over-dose of morphia. When the physicans reached him he had been un conscious for two hours. It was a case for a desperate remedy and they resorted to it. They opened the trachea, inserted a tube aud kept up respiration by means of a be!lo r j. He began to revive at once and before the doctors left him was out of danger. This is the first experiment of the kind so far as known, as a cure for opium poisoning. The secret is merely in keeping the lungs filled with oxygen by artificial means. —An exchange has analyzed the word "picnic," aud corues to the conclusion that it is derived from the words "peck"—to nibble, and "nack"—a trifle, anil that a picnic is an occasion at which you nibble at trilles. Such a slanderous analysis should not 1> > allowed to go uncontroverted. We examined the baskets for a party of four that took in a pic nic at Slipperyroo.k Park the other day aud can swear to the following list of contents: Six pounds of roast beef, two roasted chick ens, two large cakes, and several dozen small ones, four pies, two loaves of bread, two qnarts of coffee, one jar preserved fruit, but ter, jelly, pickles, oranges, bananas, etc. They ate two meals and there was none left, and if that was a ease of nibbling at trilles. the world ought to know it. —The people of Beaver Falls were startled by an explosion last Tuesday morning and up on hurrj ing to the spot from which the sound proceeded it was found that a barrel of New Orleans molasses, lctt standing in the yard ol W. T. Anderson's grocery, had fermented to such a degree from the hot rays of the sun that it had burst the heavy woodeu hoops with terrific force and sent the staves and liquid sweetness flying in every direction. A paling fence was badly wrecked and a grape-arbor near by was almost demolished. A clerk narrowly escaped the living frag ments and ran for his life, while a little lad, who had been peering in through the fence at the time of the explosion, was found lying on the pavement completely drenched with the sticky substance ami crying bitterly. Further than a sweet bath lie was not injur ed. The affair caused much excitement and plenty of amusement when the cause of it was atcertaintd. During the h"t weather, when exjiosed to the sun, headache, giddiness, nausea and disturbance of sight, accompanied with great prostration of the physical forces are indica tions that sunstroke is probably imminent. The best plan is to immediately retire to a cool place, and apply some simple restora tives as aromatic ammonia, aud it can uo doubt be prevented. Those exhausted witli the heat haye a cool moist skin, a rapid, weak pulse aud the pupil is dilated. Im mediate unconsciousness frequently results from heat apoplexy, and is likely to prove fatal. Hot foot baths, bleeding, etc., is the best treatment in such cases. In thermic fever the patient is unconscious aud convuls ed, and the body temperature may be 10 de grees above the normal state, ami the skiu is very hot. An application of ice to the head and cold water to the body is the best treat ment, as the object is to cool the body im mediately. It is always best to obtain medi cal adyice iu serious cases, — Ex. The Fate Of Explorer Stanley. The report of the death of Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, in that far-off land, caused a shock of surprise and a feeling of sorrow throughout Christondoni. Mr- Stan ley has done much for civilization, and was in a fair way to do more. He has written his name high on the temple of fame, and will be remem bered with Livingstone, while the English language survives. Some comfort may be found in the fact that the story of his sad and premature death is discredited in England and Belgium, where hi? movements have been closely watched- Let us hope the rumor is without foundation, and that the brave, tireless explorer may be spared for many years, to further advance the great work he has done so much to forward in the "dark continent." Excursion to Niagara. The Packard Hose Co., of Green ville, will run an excursion train to Niagra Falls on Thursday, Aug, 11. The train will leave Butler at 3:35 a m. Central or 4:45 a.m Butler time. Tickets $4. each, good to return from Niagra next day,pr from Chautaucma, Saturday. T-afc-at. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. —The ac< uminu(iation on the B. & O. It. 11. tin' left. ihe Grant street station iii i'iitsburg, last Sunday at 3:20 p in. ran into an open pwitch at Second avenue, and the engine, bag gage ear and passenger ear were pre cipitated to the street below, a dis taner of about twelve feet. The en gineer was so badly scalded and burned that he died that night, the fireuians arm was broken, aud six passengers received injuries, some of which may prove fatal. —Several sites at Beaver Falls have been looked at by Pittsburg. Cleveland and Beaver Falls capital ists for the establishment of a large brass foundry atd in a few days a meeting of those interested will be held and a company formed. It is said the coucern will manufacture brass and bronze novelties and will be quite extensive, giving employ ment to 250 hands. Natural gas is doing it. —After an incendiary fire on Sat urday night, at Meadville, which partially destreyed a barn, a half witted boy named Ritenour was ar rested near the building and confess ed that he burned it. It is thought he has started all the incendiary fires there of late, —Forest fires are raging with fury in part of the northern oil field, in all sections traversed by railways. In the Cherry Grove district the fires are especially severe: The intense heat, the dryness of the soil and the scarci ty of water all conspire to increase the danger and hardships of the situ ation. Six wells and six dwelling houses at Cherry Grove have already been burned. Empty or partly emp ty nitro-glycerine cans, scattered through the wcods, were popping away at intervals yesterday increas ing the danger of fighting fire. —Perhaps a Now Castle incident may be of 801118 interest to people who sometimes pick up stray cats and other pets. Mrs. David Jones playfully picked up a cat while on her way home last Saturday evening. It had a tit soon after and bit her on the arm, and ut last reports she was suffering tereiblv, her arm having swollen in a frightful manner. —As a sign of the times the Coch ranton Times notes the following: Harvest hands seem to be getting scarcer in this part of the country with each succeeding year and those farmers who can afford it, are buying self-binding machines. About twen ty of these muchiues have been sold in this vicinity this year, and in a few years more the self-binder will bo as popular as is now the common side delivery reaper. —lf there is anything especially captivating to the average citizen of Youngstown, its a new gambling de vice. They've got "fiy-loo," started over there, and hundreds of the men kill time these hot days playing it. The dispensers of "light summer drinks" furnish the accommodations and tools, which consist of chairs, a round table and a small lump of coffee sugar for each player. The players sit around the table on which, direct ly in front of him, each places his lump of sugar. The first fly to alight on one of the lumps counts the party owning the lump "out," and so on until the last man, who is obliged to "set'em up." The sport is said to be very exciting. —A terrible accident occurred near Edenburg, Lawrence county, Thurs day afternoon, the particulars of which are as follows: James Parks, son of Mr. Lewis Parks, was cutting hay with a mowing machine. lie made a cut along ono side of the field, and was coming back cutting next to the fence. There is a large tree close to the fence, in the shade of which several boys were resting. As the mowing machine came by the tree, one of the boys, named Michael Doyle, a son of P.C.&T. section boss Doyle, aged about 10 years, jumped out from under the tree, immediately in front of the knives, which he sup posed were on the other sido of the machine. Before Mr. Parks could stop his team the knives struck the lad, severing the arteries and cutting clear through the large bone and al most through the small bono of the right leg, about three inches above the ankle, and inflicting a severe flesh wound in his left leg. The Flight of a Circus. Mr. J. J. O'Brien, the circu3 man, in Albany the other day, found him self broke and his property liable to be taken for d&bt. lie wanted to reach Philadelphia with his animals, somehow for he aud they would be safe there. He had advertised to parade the streets of Albany that day, and the procession started out from the tents in good order with colors flying. The Sheriff who was waiting at the tents with an attachment, and the employees, who had been promis ed their pny on that day, began to get anxious when the procession did not get back for two or three hours, and feared it had met with an acci dent. The reason for its non-appear ance lay in the circumstance that Mr. O'Brien had extended the route of the parade to Coxsackie, and shipped the procession to Jersey City. Pursuit was made by the next express train; but O'Brien had the advantage of Sunday when processes don't issue iu New Jersey. The next day O'Brien and his animals disappeared. Warn ing is given that any person with four elephants, eighteen horses, two lions, two camels, one yak, two sacred bulls, a zebra, an ourangoutang, three kangaroos aud a boa constrictor in his possession may be assured that it is Mr. O'Brien and his circus on the way to Philadelphia. But look out for the vicious elephant when making arrests. A Valuable Piece of Ground. A piece of land in Philadelphia, with a frontage of 1G feet on Chest nut and 31 feet on Fourth street, was recently sold for $85,000, or SISG per square foot. It was neces sary to complete a building site in the city, and commanded this extra ordinary figure. This is the highest price ever paid for real estatae in America. The one next to it. per haps, wad on Wall street, New York city, where lot a sold for $145 per square foot. The Philadelphia price was at a rate of $0,800,000 per acre. Grove City College.

Just before the former set out for his present visit he said with somewhat of a sigh : "I doubt if I shall have as good a time as Garfield and I did when visiting the old houses and country seats. We got to see them all in the most perfect manner by simply 'tipping' the servants and walking in at the back door. I pre sume if I see these old places again I shall have to go in at the front door, but really I think the old way more enjoyable. —They have the Colorr-do potato bug in Prussia and Buffalo William in England.

He said he wes told in his dreams to do it so that his relatives might have peace in heaven. The police officer tore the animal from Rider's grasp.

Rider became frantic on being pre vented from eating the remainder of the cat, and it required two officers to take him to the station house. —Mr. Thos.

The report of his death has caused the veracious illustrated press to print about one hundred pretended likenesses of him, no two alike. —A man who had stolen $75,000 from the Vienna Post Office was ar rested on his arrival in New York on Sunday last, and it is to be hoped that his Government will not be sat isfied with a return of the plunder, but will ask for hi 3 surrender.

Keep 'em rather in a dry cellar, and keep ice away from 'em. The moist air of a refrigerator would ruin the pink heart, which should be cool, but not cold. —Wonderful virtues have been at tributed to the bath, and not without reason, it appears.

I want to con sult him—but that's between us," said Grover as he declared the con ference at an end. Wreck Near Foxburg. From Pittsburg Com-Gazette.] On, CITY, PA., July 27.—About noon to-day a collision occurred on the Pittsburg & Western railroad, near Foxburg, which resulted in in stantly killing one passenger and fa tally injuring another, besides inflict ing a number of minor bruises upou several others. A passenger train on the narrow guage was backing up the hill at Foxburg over a series of "switch backs" that are necessary in order to gain the Summit of the hill. While upon the second of theße "switchbacks" a freight train, com posed principally of cars laden with lumber, dashed down the hill and into the rear coach as it was in the act of backing up. W. D. Jones, a commercial traveler of Pittsburg, and a man named Pollock were standing on the rear platform of the car when the freight crashed into it. Both men made an effort to escape by jumping, but were unfortunately too late. Both were c±ught in the wreck. Jones was almost instantly killed, while his companion, Pollock, received injuries of such a nature that he will in all probability die. Sheriff Wheeloek, of Clarion coun ty, was on the ill-fated train, having in charge the outlaw Scheli, whom he had arrested yesterday in New Cas tle. Schell made an effort to escape, but was prevented from so doing by the Sheriff. The cause of the accident is attri buted to a failure upon the part of the passenger train men to obey or ders, they having been instructed to await the arrival of the freight train at Foxburg. No blame whatever is attached to the freight train, they having a right to the track. The Coroner is hold ing an inquest to-night, and will probably in his verdict censure the railroad company for carelessness. What Ha mpers Mrs. Cleveland. New York Catholic Tablet.] Mrs. G rover Cleveland celebrated her 23d birthday last week. We present our respectful compliments to the beautiful and accomplished head o4*the White House and wish her many happy returns of the day. The nation is indebted to her for a chaste and purely American administration, and we have no doubt if free from the adipose matter which to some extent hampers her efforts, she would be universally proclaimed the choico of the people for a second term.

A Blow to Mormonism—Presi dent John Taylor Dies While in Hiding from Government Oflicials. SALT LAKE, UTAH, July 26.—1t is announced to-night that John Taylor, j President of the Mormon Church, j died at five minutes to 8 last evening The funeral will be at noon on Friday at the Tabernacle. The body will lie in state in that building from 7 to 11:30 a.m. The public will be per mitted to review the remains. John Taylor was born in Miln throp, Westmoreland county, Eng land, November 1, 1808 He joined the Methodist Church in England, emigrated to Canada in 1823, follow ing his parents, who went two years before; got in conflict with the Meth odists in Toronto and became a Pro gressist Methodist when Parley P. Pratt visited that city, Iu 1836 Taylor and others were baptized in the Mormon Church by Hill, and in 1837 gathered to Kirtland, O. In 1838 Joseph Smith had the "revela tion" naming Taylor aud others for members of the quorum of twelve apostles to fill vacancies. LIFE A3 A MISSIONARY'. He did much missionary work for the Church for twenty years in the Isle of Man, England, Scotland, Ire land, France and Wales. He was also editor of various Church papers ; was with Joseph Smith in the Carth age jail and received four 3hots when the assailants opened fire. Another bullet lodged in his watch, which saved his life. He published the Book of Mormon in French, and issu- I ed a paper in New York city in 1854 called the Mormon. He was Presi dent of the twelve apostles when Brigham Young died in 1877 and as such remained at the head of the Church till 1880, when he organized the first presidency anew, taking the chief place himself, which he held till death. After the passage of the Edmunds law of 1882 be pretended to give up his wives, but constantly preached that no Mormon could do this, and nobody believed he had done it. He was indicted early in 1885. He last appeared in public February 1, 1885; since then he has been hiding from the officers of the law. ATTACK ON GENTILES. Taylor was one of the earliest and firmest adherents of polygamy, yet after adopting it he took occasion to deny that such practice prevailed among the Mormons. George (J. Cannon publishes a long and violent announcement of his death in the Desert News this eve niag, charging his death to the cru elty of officers of the law in not per mitting Taylor to come out and have his usual exercise. Cannon says Taylor "occupies the place of a double martyr; that he has been killed by cruelty of oflicials who have in this Territory represented the Govern ment of the United States. His blood stains the clothes of those men who with insensate hate offered re wards for his arrest and have hounded him to tho grave. History will yet call their deeds by their right names, but One greater than the combined voices of all historians will yet pro nounce their dreadful sentence." Damage by Storm and Flood A dispatch from Great Barrington, Mass , reports eighteen lives lost by a flood. Particulars have not been received. It is reported that two dams gave way in Williamsburg last evening, and that the water rushed down the valley carrying desolation in their wake. Houses and barns were swept away and cattle carried off by the flood. FREAKS OF LIGHTNING AT NYACK. At Nyack N, Y., during a storm on Saturday the lightning was un usually sharp, and played many un pleasant pranks in that vicinity. A ball of fire attracted by a gas pipe en tered the door of a fruit store kept by Effiingham Tallman, making a report like that of a good sized cannon, and causing Tallman to fall backward off a stool on which he was sitting stun-, ned, but not injured. The lightning* then passed out over an electric light wire and cut the wire in two on the opposite side of the street. GREAT DAMAGE IN ANI) ABOUT NEWARK. A dispatch from Newark, N. J., says: The violent thunder storms that have prevailed during the past two days have done almost inestima ble damage throughout this county. This is especially the case among the lands of farmers along the Upper Passaic. Here the hay crop is en tirely cut oft'. Added to this, ,the large quantities of water that have fallen have flooded the cultivated lands and destroyed many valuable crops. A TRAIN CAUGHT BETWEEN WASHOUTS.
