He was the father of Franklin Mechling, Esq., and was well known to many of the older citizeps of this place, where he bad many relatives and friends. AND now the weather prophet alarms us with the prophecy of an early and cold winter. The squirrel, the corn hnsk, and other old signs are referred to in confirmation of the prophesy. However, it is well enough always to prepare for winter. THE Petrolia Record got ofl per haps the best thing relative to the recent addition to -'Uncle Jake's" family in this place. It saye: "The Record extends its congratulations and sympathies, and will donate a bottle of paragoric, pewder, puff, etc., to the good cause." Tax proclamation, in full, of Gov ernor Bearer relative to the centen nial celebration of the formation of the Constitution of the United States, will be found upon the first page of the CITIZEN this week. Also the resolutions of the Prohibitionists, passed at their late State Conven tion. THE Democracy of this State met in State Convention at AUentown on Wednesday and had a lively time on the tariff question, some opposing and some favoring Randall and his views and course on that question. We will give full proceedings of this fight in onr next issue. It has al ways been a troublesome subject to the Democrats of Pennsylvania. WK have received a copy of the Address of the Hon. Daniel Agnew, delivered at Bellefonte, Pa., April 28, 1886, and recently published by the YooDg Woman's Christain Temper ance Union of that place. It is a very strong argument in favor of the Prohibition of the liquor traffic by law, and, like all other things from the pen of Jadge Agnew, ia present ed in eloquent terms. More And Better Water. We are informed that the Water Company of this place, controlled by the Kittanning Water Company, have determined npon making chang es and improvements in our water supply. This will be agreeable news for oar people, as the water heie has not been fit for any use for some time past. A large well or basin at the ereek it is said will be sunk, and crib «od supply mains used, so as to se cure a larger and better supply of water here. The improvements are to be similar to what the Company have made at their own water works ia Kittanning. Reunion of 137 th Regiment Pa. Volunteers. The reunion of the 137 th Re/j't Pa. Vols, at Slipperyrock Park on Thurs day of last week was a grand affair. There were about 3,000 people there present and when it is considered there was no special effort made for the purpose it shows how much the soldiers and citizens are interested in these reunions. On this occasion it was espeoially gratifying to see so large an assemblage and it made the boys and everybody else feel happy. After the roll was called the mem bers of the regiment proceeded to elect officers for the ensuing year. The following persons were elected to the several positions: Col. 11. M Bossart, Chairman; Lieut. John B. McNair, Secretary; Lieut. M. X Greer, Corresponding Secretary, and Lieut, C. O. Kingsbury, Treasurer. Another Secretary will be appointed hereafter from among the members residing in the eastern part of the State. There were ten chosen, one from each company, as a committee of management. They are as follows: Co. A., Lieut. Talmadge; Co. B, Lieut. A. S, Bates; Co. C., Adj. W. T. Crispin; Co. D., Serg't J. M. Greer; Co. E , Lieut. W. H. Cress; Co. F., Serg't Grier McCandless; Co. G., Lieut, Robert Storey; Co. H., Capt. R. S. Barker; Co. 1., Lieut. D. A. Gilleland, and Co. K., Lieut. Chas. H King. The visitors from abroad were Col. H. M. Bossart, Capt. R. S. Barker, Major Burke of 11th Reserves, Lewis Walters and Serg't L. H. Scott. OwiDg to some lack of effective organ ization there were not as many com rades from the east as might have been. There was one from each company appointed as historian to give a his tory of the organization of each com pany; what became of the members, whether they were killed in battle, have since died, and who are still living, etc. These proceedings having been gone through with an address was delivered Col. H. M. Bossart in which he took occasion to return thanks for the attendance aDd the very gratifying reception. Other address es were delivered by Major Burke of 11th Reserves, Hon. J. M. Greer, Captain. R. S. Barker, Hon. George H. Graham, Samuel Glenn, Capt Ayres and others. A song was then sung by Mrs Thomas Hindman, entitled "The Flag of the Frea," which was exceedingly well executed and greatly applauded. Rec itation by Miss Ayres, entitled "Lewis," was well delivered. After these proceedings the organization ad journed until evening when there was a regular army dress parade in which all the members participated, and this coucluded the reunion. The 137 th Regiment requests us to tender to the citizens of Butler county who were present at the reunion, their sincere thanks for the cheerful and hearty welcome ex tended to them and which they will ever bear in grateful remembrance. The next reunion, in all probabili ty will be held in Lock Haven, Clin ton county, or some adjoining town. J. B- MCNAIR, Sec'y. Dodging a Reporter. PAEIS, August 18—Mr. Blaine passed through here last night on his way to Germany. lie is going to visit the principal German Spas, Carlsbad, Hamburg, Schwalbach and Badea Baden. His last four days visit in London was for the purpose of filling some social engagements made before leaving Scotland. There is some amusement in newspaper cir cles over the failure of the correspon dent of a Chicago newspaper to keep up with- Mr. Blaine. He was espec ially directed to follow Mr. Blaine and sending everything to the dis credit of the ex-senator that he could invent or find. The reporter has not seen Mr.Blaine for fortnight. The latter gave him a slip in Scotland, and was always one day ahead of him in Ireland. Mr. Blaine is travel ing so quickly that it is impossible for for anyone to follow without informa tion from some of Mr. Blaine's per sonal friends. The correspondent passed through London last Satur day to the continent, still hunting for Mr. Blaine, although tho latter was in London until yester day, stopping at Brown's Hotel, in Dover Btreet, one of the quietest places in London. Ice Houses Destroyed. The big ice houses of the Chau tauqua Lake Tee Company at Witt mer station, on the Pittsburgh and Western road, were totally destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. The houses tnemselves belonged to Wittmer, Bros. & Co., and were val ued at SB,OOO. The ice, of which there were oniy about 3.400 tons re maining, belonged to the Chautauqua Company. The ice houses were seven in number, 100 by 30 feet in size situated along Piue creek. On ly three of the houses had ice iu them. The fire originated in one of the old bouses which was half full of straw. Tramps bad on several occa sions been known to sleep in the bouse, and it is supposed that the fire was the result of their careless ness. The loss of the ice company will not exceed $3,000, that of Wittmer, Bro. e at last. Messrs. Brackney & Hunt, of Butler, will begiu work next week, and have a well down inside of 40 days. These gentlemen are experienced and reliable drillers, and the subscribers to the enterprise can count on results of some kind before the leaves begin to fall; and let us hope that the mains which now underlie our streets may be filled with natural gas before the snow begins to fall—if not from a home well, then from a foreign one. —Greenville, Pa.

Talking Over Old Times. FREEPOUT, P> , Aug. 30.—T0-day and to-morrow are red letter days for Slate Lick, a small village situated northeast of Freeport in South Buff alo township. For weeks and mouths preparations were quietly go ing on for a grand reunion of all the past and present residents of the vil lage, the old and young from afn.r and near. The most sanguine expec tations have been mere than realized and for the last few days every irain bore some one tilled with gleeful en thusiasm for the happy occasiou. Orations, essays, reminiscences, mu sic and well-loaded tables of delica cies tell the tale of ibe most pleasant reunion ever hold in Armstrong Co. Old Grandma Boyd gave a spicy his tory of the old Slate Lick Academy which brought forth te&rs and smiles for the days of yore. Dr. Hall and other prominent ministers delivered eloquent addresses which carried the oldest back to the halycoa days of youth, made the aged feel young aud the sober gay once more. Slate Lick has given to the State some of the most promiuent ministers, physi cians and singeis and has every privilege to be elated over her re union. FiUtiO u rij Dispatch. —Republican Bentirdent responds warmly to the recommendation of the State Convention that hereafter nominations to Congress and the State Senate be made directly at primary elections or through district conventions in which the people are immediately represented. The con feree system his had its day; has had more than its day. and should bave gone long before this. Republicanism iu the old Keystone State is alive and aspiring, and demands that the will uf the people shall be the guide in all political affairs, big and little, and from first to last. It it not a Republican idea to have that done, it may be in secresy, by a half dozen persons, which should be done open ly by those of a whole district. It is not necessary, however, to charge crookedness or corruption upon the conferee system. It is enough to say that it does not embody the (lis tinguisbi/ig Republican idea, and ought to be replaced by one that does, in the manner suggested bv the State convention.— l'Lll-lninj Time*. —A writer in the Metliual I'retfn, says that a common wart can be easi ly removed by small (lows of tul phate of magnesia taken internally. M. Colrat, of Lyons, has drawn atten tion to this extraordinar fact. Several children treated with three-grain dos es of Hpaom salts morrsinjj and even ing were promptly cored, A woman whose face was disfigured by these oxcreeences was cured in a month by a dram and half of magnesia taken daily. Another medical man reports a case of very large warts dis appeared in a fortnight from iho dai ly administration often graius of the baits. —Mr. Josiah C. Watt has purchas ed the George W. Z'jigler house and lot in Sprintjdale and is romoviug from Tarentum to this place. Mr. Watt formerly lived in Buffalo townchip this county and was regarded as one of our best citizens. We welcome him and family bark to 'this county and to tliin place. Popular Vote Endorsed. The Republican State Convention adopted a resolution ree ommendiug that, in the nomination of candidates fur Congress and the State Senate, the conferee system be abolished and the nominations made either directly bv the people at the primary elec- j tion*, or, where that is deemed im practicable, by district conventions, j composed of delegates elected by the 1 people, representation to be founded on a fair and equitable bas'.9, but each election district to have at least one delegate. A convention composed j thus would necessarily ba large, as large about as a State eouveutiou. The expense of nominating Con gressional and Senatorial candidates after that plan would be too great. ! The plan is not practicable. The | popular vote plan is familiar, less ex pensive and, we believe, if a chauge j must be made, about the best that could be adopted under the resolu- j tion of the State Convention. The conferee system is as bad as %ny plan can be. It is often a dead-lock; the ; key of which is an unprincipled com- j promise or a corrupt bargain and sale in which the interests of the dear j people ate sacrificed to personal am- ; bitionß. The popular vote system brings the nomination directly to the people and, all things considered, is more conducive to harmony than any other plan yet suggested.— Leaver Anjus and Radical. Aug. 24.

The producers of the Bradford dis trict held a meeting last Tuesday at Bradford to discuss the question of stopping the drill for the purpose of decreasing the production of oil. This would seem to be the only mode of raising the price, but at the same time is almost impracticable. Thcro is no doubt that oil must before long ad vance in price, as territory must thin out and the demand for it increase at the tame time the world over. The mar. ket at the present still hangs at about the same it has for a month or more past. Death of Andrew Burnett. Another sudden death in our midst was that of Mr. Andrew Burnett, which occurred on last Saturday morning at his residence on the West Side. Though the deceased had long been a sufferer from derangement of the kidneys, his case was not con sidered serious until a few days be fore his death. Deceased had been a resident of this place for some 20 years, during which time he was extensively en gaged in the coal business, and at the time of his death was interested in coal mines in Butler county. He had also been prominent in local pol itics, having been a stanch Repubii ! can. He had long been on active ! member of the M. E. Church. He ! was a£ed about 69 years, and leaves | one son only of his family to mourn I his loss, his wife and one soil having I preceded him to the better land.

In the matter of good horses and cows, however, bet ter ones are to be seen in JJutJer county than in those valleys, particu larly as to horses.
