ten up by the ladies of the Presbyter

successful. It was held in the Lec

something of a society event. Tbe
ladies appeared in lace caps and
aprons, over evening dress and wore
their hair powdered. Tbe features
were the Doll department and tbe
soap bubble department, which with
rare magnanimity, was made free, and
of course it could not fail to attract
general attention at a church bazar

"The Drink Mystery."
When S. 11. Miller. Esq., of Mer
cer, mad'* hia temperance speech here
a few w<-ck£ ago, and immediately
after he finirhed, he was asked
whether or no he thought tbe act of
18S1 entirely repealed the act of 18G7,
and he Haid be thongbt it did and
gave bis reasons for so think'sg.
The act of *t>7 specified certain things
to be stated iu tbe petition, and
among them tbe cumber of rooms,
beds, etc., for the accommodation of
the public. The act of 'B7 specifies
certain things to appear in the peti
tions, says uothing about tbe number
ol beds and rooms, but does say that
the petition stall say "feat the place
to be licenced is neco?serv for tbe ac-
C' mmodatioa ot" tl.e puMic "
Some of tb« m- mb >» of *hc- Bar
here, to d that the r.ew law is com
plete in itself, aad otbtrs ihat ( arts
of the old law are yet in force There
has as vet. b**en no deci-ion of the
Cinprtme C«iurt on the quesliou, aud
Judge Hazt-n h Ids thut those por
tions of the old law not in coufliot
with the new are yet in force, and
that the necessity for a hotel or pub
lic house at a certain place caivies
with it the right to have licence to
st II i'quor.
The owessity for a cerl&in amount
of hctel accommodation at several
points in this county goes without
saying, and therefore, according to
Judge Hazen's ruling, a certain num
ber of liq'jor licenses follow of right,
though the act of 'B7 also says that
the Court shall refu.«« the application
for a liquor license when, "having doe
regard tor the number and character of
the petitioners lor and against snch
application" it is the opinion of
the Court that tucl) license is not
• necessary. As far as we can see tbe
law leaves the matter to the personal
sentiment and opinion of the
Judge. If the sentiment of the com
munity is taken into account every
application from Butler will be refus
ed, every one from Saxonburg will
be granted, and in the oil towns with
tteir semi-foreign populations, the
matter will be divided.
The criminal business of the late
term was not finished uctil Friday of
last week, at 10 A M..wbeu the license
Hpi'licaiions were taken up, and it
was soon seen that tbe License
Court this year, was to be a re-hash
of that of preceeding years.
Tbe ijppiicaiious were presented,
the applicant examined as to bis
bouse and tbo necessity for a public
house at that point, and cross-exam
ined as to his record. His bondsmen
were questioned as to their property,
aud bis certifiers as to the necessity
of a public house at that place. It
was noticed that some of tbe bonds
men and certifiers would not say that
a license to sell liquor was necessary.
For tbe remonstrants and against
tbe applications, numbers of citizens
were called who testified that tbey
did uot believe a liquor license was
necessary at tbe poiut in question or
any otber point, aud tbe remonstran
ces presented in the Butler cases
showed that tbe sentiment here
Btrongly preponderates agaiost the
granting of any liquor licenses.
The general ruu of the evidence in
the cases is not worth publishing but
tbere are some items worthy of note.
For instance it appeareU from the
evidence tbat most of the licensed ho
tel men have been selling liqoor iu
bottles, and this Judge Hazen said be
considered a violation of the spirit of
the Act of Assembly.
In tbe Petrolia cases, the three old
< ladies who secured the siguatures to
the remonstrances wore qualified to
the genuineness of the whole instead
of each one being qualified to the
particalar names she had secured.
This came out and Judge llazen said
something about turning tbe ladies
over to the Grand Jury, and remark
ed upon the criticism be bid be»n sub
jected to by the ladies a year ago,
but the actual genuineness of the
names was not called iu question. Iu
i these cases also the Ilou. A. L
Campbell aud one or two other prom
inent citizens of the towu testified as
to tbe fearful state of society iu the
place, Mr. Campbell saying tbat tbey
' now have the worst state of society
there they ever had, and tbat he
believed a licensed bouse would do
good because it would drivo the low
dives out of the towu. We have
questioned otber citizens of the plaee
regarding tbis aud are told tbat sev
eral persons there, including some
abandoned women, have beeu selling
liquor tbere right aloag, facts known
to everybody and not interfered with
by the officers of the law, aud that it
would not be safe for any citizen of
the place to interfere.
Tbe people of Petrolia, as a general
thing are not natives of the county.
They came iu with the oil excitement
ten or twelve years ago, aod accord
ing to tbis evidence tbey have estab
lished a community there tbat equals
in wickedness any Sodom or (Jomor
: rah that ever existed, and you may
I kill the devil by giving him strong
| drink, but a better way would be to
| drown bim in it and then set the li
| quor on Are Rouse yourselves, ye
Christians of Petrolia.
"Ho, reapers of life'a harvest,
Why stand ye Idly by ?"
Another thing worth noting is the
bar busiuetw done by the hotels iu
Butler. Mr. Eitenmiller testified
that the receipts of bis bar averaged
S4O a day, Mr. Lowry that hid aver
aged $35 a day, aud Mr Campbell
that biH averaged was from SSU to
S6O a day SSO a day for 310 dayn
moans $15,500 a year, and an there
are four hart* iu town, Home where
near $60,000 changed hauds over them
in Butl«-r during the past year.
Another item wuu that the bar
keepers' "blaek lii»t" of Butler and
vicinity now contains the names of j
125 persona.
r l'be evidence in the cases was all in
by TuAHday evening. Wednesday
morning was occupied in making ar
guments on the law sod on the facts
presented in the different cases.
Messrs. Thompson, McQuistion, Mar
shall and McC'andless spoke for the
applicants and Messrs. Robinson atd
(lalbreath for the remonstrants All I
the attorney* for the applicants held ,
that portions of the old laws are in
force aud that the necessity for the
hotel carries with it the right to have
! Bcense; and two of them thought
| that public wntimeul tended towards
anarchy. The testimony of -Vlr.
! Campbell, oi t'eirolia, was referred to
| and enlarged upon as showing the
j necessity for licensed houses.
Mr. Bobinsou spoke of the evils of
I intemperance, aud Mr. Galbreath
made a clear, able, aud to all the tem
perance people present a conclusive
argument on the law. fla believes
the new law regarding the sale of
liquor wipes out the old aud ridicu
lous ones regarding licensing hotels,
though the law does not wind op
with the usual repealing clause.
Every implication of the now law is
in that direction.
When the arguments were concluded
Court adjourned until one o'clock of
oext Monday, when, we suppose,
•Judge Uerzwn will unuouuee his de-
ciaions in this matter, and we have
uo doubt whatever, from his ruliQfre
on the law thnt the majority of the
applications will be granted. When
Mra Tillioghast of Petrolia was OQ
tho witness-Btand, and io answer to a
question by Judge fhe Baid
that ehe waa sorry for an> man who
had to administer the License Law.
So are ail ttmperance people, and par
ticularly so for a Judge, whose opiu
ioua and sentiments ure contrary to
ibe majority of those of tne commun
ity in which he lives, and contrary
to those of the jrreat majority of the i
political party to which be adheres.
Tbe Republican members of the
late Legislature passed tho prohibi
tory amendment, aud, we bope, tbe
next Legisiatare will do the same, so
that tbe people of tbe Statu may have
a vote on tbe subject, for with men
in office who determined to
eraui. license, so long as they can find
s« me mole-bill of ancient law to ex
cuse them for so doiujf, notwithstand

Tbe annual report of the Y. M. C.
A., of Butler, is both BUl prising and
gratifying. It shows the Association
to be established on a foundation for
doing its good work, and to be the
possessor of commodious quarters
which include a large Lecture room,
a comfortable reading room, a Direc
tors' room, and a Secretary's office
The reading room is furnished with
fifty papers and magazines, both re
ligious and secular, and daily weekly
aud mouthly.
The register shows the namea of
nearly four thousand visitors (not in

A Puck correspondent sums op Oil
City thus: The trouble with Oil City
is it. tries to be and can't; it thinks it
is, but it isn't; it should have been
but wasn't and this characteristic is
shared by the majority of the inhabi

A scamp has been swindling the
people of Westmoreland county by
selling a lotion fir the eyes. He
claims great merit for the medieine,
claiming ihat it will effectually cure
weak eyes. It is a fraud of the first

ed severely by its use. The chap

An old gentleman visited Kittan

to visit his friends in that place.
Tbev are strongly iu favor of temper
ance, and so is the old jeutlemau for
that matter. He has some acquain
tances, however, who usually have a
flask of fire water about, and while
he was Hitting talking with them, one
of the "boys" poured about a half a
pint of whiskey over his coat tail.
When he called up at the house of
bis temperance friends aud got well
warmed up at the Gre there was such
an unmistakable evidence of old rye
about the room as to lead to very
grave conclusions regarding what the
old gentleman had been doing down

offer he went home feeliug very badly,
and no doubt wondering what had
befallen him.

was helped home, and now that he
has beirun to recover from the first
painful effects of his fall and can raise
himself up, ho is very much alarmed
to ft d that when erect he is totally
blind. In a lying posture be enjoys
his sight as previous to his fall, but
as soon as ho assumos an upright
position ho can see nothing whatever.
Mrs. A. M. Davis, of Fiodlay,
Ohio, the other day opened a can of
peaches, and disco7ering that tbey
bad "worked" considerably, threw
them into the back yard Not long
after the chickens on tho premises
begun eating the spoiled fruit, and,
as the "working" bad generated alco
hol, the f»wl-s soon became gloriously
drunk, swaggering about, in the most
ridiculous manner. One staid old
rooster, wh> had never been known
to indulge in a fight, became very
tight, flew over the fences into a
neighbor's yard, attacked a rooster
twice his size and got licked, lie
managed to get home again, how
ever, and with the hens soon became
so drunk that they dropped over, ap

"Am I Safe in this
Store?"
We must get your good
will. Confidence first; rtien
good-will; then nuceeaH It's
the right-hand of bu.sineHS,
We understand that perfectly.
We choose unquestionable
qualities and prices for our
corner-stones.
But we can't transfer sky
rocket talk or menagerie
methods to the clothing busi
ness. They wouldn't help.
Loyalty on our sido must
merit confidence on yours.
And, if you'll notice, J. N.
PATTERSON is doing that
preliminary work with all his
might. It's telling from day
to day. We mean to build
that foundation sn deep and
broad that you'll know you're
safe in dealing with us, though
there wasn't another clothing
store in reach; that you'll say
—"We're all right. This is
J. N. PATTERSON'S store."
1,000 styles of goods to se
lect from.
Don't forget PATTERSON,
