Bnde a note ot last week, vat buried lent Sat
urday Thin «M a very md affair, and from
all we can learn of it we judge that the cal
amity w*« csuaed by a mixture of whisky
nod cider. We are inlormed that quite a
number of thorn who attended the dance
drank anme cider before going, and that two
yonne men wbo had been to Zelienopie,
brought whuky b.ick with them, and left it
near the h»u*e and where the other* found it
and drank nf it. Young Beighley Hal nev-jr
drank wV i-key before and the effect of the

water came from and the caute of ita itudoen

K popcl&r vote of this town would be in
favor of the red postage stamp,
—ln alt town* of the size of Butler and up
wards, the National Government should own
its own po*toffice building. The rents of
ihe upper stories of a good and well located
bnildin* would pay the interest on the money
invented. I f Congress would pass an act to
that effect, the surplus thit is such a bugbear
ta Cleveland, Carlisle & Co., would rapidly
disappear.
—The Town Council has latelv ordered
the police to enforce Se'! 7, of the Ordiuan e
passed last April, which provides that nine
feet of all twelve foot sidewalks, seven fee.tot
■line foot walks, five feut of six font walks,
and atl of the walks of le«s width b<i kept
clear of obstructions. Our Main St. side
walks are twelve feet in width and this will
require the nine feet -measuring from the
curb—to hereafter be kept clear, excepting
that a reasonable time will be allowed for
the loading and unloading of goods. The
Secretary of the Council was also directed to
draft an Ordinance prohibiting the further
erection of awtiugs and signs over the side
walks, and requiring the removal of all awn
ings, sigus and porches now up. The penal
ty for not promptly removing obstructions
from the sidewalks, when notified, is lor
each offeuse.

A CREDIT TO BUTLER.
The new ptore room of Mr. C N.
I Boyd in tbe Diamond Block aud the
tlinplnv of Roods' made bj him are ho
very handsome that they roußt be
neen to be appreciated. Tbe Btore
rootu itself ia the handsomest in the
I town and Mr Bo»d'a selection and
ariintic display of the goods usually
found in a first-clana drug store is a
revelation to our citizens. The gran
ulated maiden of alum and blue vit
riol in his show windows are novelties
here, and were made expressly tor
him by the leading manufacturing
chemists of the eouutry. The crys
tals are very handaome aud very
costly.
His store is full of show capes filled
with peilumery, toilet article* and
special Holiday goods, but the case
which attracts the most attention is a
plate glues one which cost more
than all the rest together At a dis
tance of ten feet you would say there
was no plans in it, it i* so Gne and
! clear. The prescription desk at t%w
end of the store is what attracts most
people's attention. It is of solid
cherrv. carved from Mr. Boyd's own
; designs and ia ce'tainly a work of
nrt. A large lw»Vfl*<l plate glass ftiir
j ror is placed In the centre ol it and
linds a ready iho among the ladies
Hchinri, the scene is changed, poison

manufactured bv the butchers Good
judgment is required in its selection,
and the greatest of care aod cleanli
ness in its preparation for the market,
and of all the men iu the business in
Butler, none so excel in these particu
lars as does our friend, Mr. H M.
Clark, whose market is at No 25 S
Maiu St. He buys none but the best
of live stock, be has it prepared for
the market bv the best of butchers,
bis murket is always neat and clean,
and his prices are as low as good
meats cau be profitably sold at aud
as low as those of any other firm in
Butler.
His slaughter honse is in charge of
Mr. George Kuriiine*", than whom
there is uo better, cleaner or more
particular butcher in the town Geo
takes a great pride in bis work, and
is an exceptionally capable butcher,
as is well attested by the condition of
the meat he sends to the market, and
also by the quality of his smoked aud
plain sausage, his pudding, head
chees°and bologna in the manufacture
of which he is quite an artist. Thirty
pounds of bis smoked sausages were
shipped to Texas lately a fact
tba'„ he is very proud of.
The very next time you want a
juicy and tender steuk, or supply of
toothsome sausages, try
