The popular demand for tickets for the Pennsylvania Railroad's select excursions to Washington has been so great and the dispo sition of our people to visit the National Cap ital is so determined, that the company has arranged another excursion for Thursday, April 12th. Of the entire seties this fcas, without doubt, the most desirable date, as it comes at a time when Washington is in the first flush of the activity, social, political, and natural, of early spring. The side trips, too, to Richmond aud Mount Vernon, are peculiarly attractive at this season. The excursion will be run on the same plan as heretofore. The train will be com posed of parlor cars and passenger coaches, and will be run through on a fast schedule. The tickets will be good for ten days, to be used going only on special train, aud to re turn by any ragular train, except the New York and Chicago Limited. A stop-over in Baltimore on the return trip is permitted. The special will run on following schedule, and tickets will be sold al the rates quoted below:— Rate. Trains leave Pittsburg $7 50 8:00 A.M. Blairsville 700 7:00 " Washington arrive 7:55 P.M. —By the new license law the wholesalers who took out license paid the County Treas urer S2OO eaoh, the retailers in boroughs $l5O each and in townships $75 each, with costs amounting to $3 each.

Part of the money Kid into the County Treasury belongs to the roughs and townships for road purposes. The dwelling house of Calvin Neale, occupied Dan Cousins, at Craigsville, was destroyed by fire last Thursday, including all the household goods and SIOO in bills owned by Mrs. Woodrow. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Ia Freeport on Sabbath morning of last week, A!f. James and Harry Ir win started to ruu a foot race across the railroad bridge ever Buffalo creek Harry's foot slipped and he fell head foremost, a distance of about twenty feet to the creek below, striking the ice with his head and shoulders. The ice broke which saved his life, for had it been solid his neck would Lave been broken, The water was deep enongh to drown him. but he maDaged to scramble out, and strange to say is not seriously hurt. Mr. A. P, Gorman, of McKeesport, Alleghenv Co,, has been for years an inveterate tobacco chewer, but he has sworn off for A few days ago, going to work he, as usual, took the plug and bit off agoodsized mouthful. Feeling some foreign substance in his mouth he extracted it and was horrified to find the end of a man's finger, which had been cut off in some tobacco factory and becoming mixed with the tobacco h»d been worked up in the plug. To say that Mr. Gor man became ill is "patting it mild." At New Castle, last Thursday, Judge McMichael granted 22 licenses, held 2 over and refused 5. Judge Mc- Michael said: The Court has no writ ten opinion to hand down, but will stats that it decides there can be made no distinction between hotels and restaurants and eating houses; that under the cew law restaurants and eating houses are permitted and licensed to sell vinious, spirituous, malt and brewed liquors, the license being same as granted the hotels. The act of Assembly of 185G made a distinction between hotels and eating houses. This law was re enacled in 1867, and it provided specifically just what eating houses should sell, limit ing them to domestie wines, etc. The Brooks law make bo such dis tinction and this Court has no right to say what shall be sold by those who are granted eating house and restaurant licenses. The P. R. Ft. Co., proposes* mak ing extensive improvements at Point, and has purchased 150 acres adjoin ing the picnic grounds. In Pike county the deep snows and severe weather forced the animals and birds to seek sheter and food in the very cteor yards of farmers and others who live in the clearings of that isolated community. It was a common thing to see deer stealing and feeding with ths cattle in the barnyards, and pheasants fly from the hemlock and tamarack swamps and mingle with the chickens aud other poultry to pick up such food as they can get. One farmer discovered three deer—a buck and two does —eating with his cows the hay and cornstalks he had thrown down to them. A riot occurred at the limestone quarries at Carbon, Lawrence Co., of which John A. Logan, Jr , is man ager, last monday, the result of a re duction in wages, but the rioters were dispersed and afterwards discharged. The rioters were Italians and were armed with knives, pistols and clubs, and the nerve show* by young Logan and Sheriff Warnock alone saved their lives. Thomas Colwell, a freight conduct or on the Valley road, lost a little 3- year old girl last Saturday evening. The little one was playing near a tubfull of scalding water, when she acoidently fell backward into the tub, being literally scalded to doath. She lived in great agony until Sunday evening, when death came to her re lief. This makes tho third child of Mr. Colwell's that has met a violent doath. While living at Rosston. a little child fell into a well aud was drowned, while another one was burned so badly by its clothes catch ing fire that death ensued. A coop of eight Antwerp carrier pigeons were sent l'ror* Philadelphia to Meadville last week, with instruc tions to the coneignee, John McFar land, to free the birds. He turned them loose Sunday morning at 7 o'clock. In leas than two minutes after the birds began circling upward they took their direction and started on their long journey to the Quaker City. At 3-25 p. m. a dispatch was received from Mr, Stein, one of the owners, stating that the first 4 the birds struck his loft in Philadelphia at 12:25, making the length of the State in 5 hours and 25 minutes. Four other birds came in 20 minutes later, and two young ones were still oat. The time was remarkably good considering that the day was cold and murky, a chilling rain at times prevailing Franklin Neivs. —A new and clever swindle has appeared in our neighboring counties, and it is well to "look a leedle oudt" for the rascals. An agent appeared with a new soap, and in order to ad vertise its superiority over all others he proposed to put a box of thirty-six three-quarter-pound bars into each house. One-half of this box, or eigh teen bars, was to be a gift. For the balance he charged the merely nomi nal price of sl, much less than would have to be paid for the same amount of any firßt-class«oap in the market. The "gift" was in consideration of paying for one half of the box, and the hope that the buyer would fur ther patronize these goods and use his influence to induce others to do the same. Purchasers were advised to let it "season" a little before using. To those who did not, it may be a surprise to learn that this 27-pound box of soap dried down in four weeks to weigh only three pounds. As the cost of this amount of soap, together with the box, could not possibly have exceeded twenty-five cents, aud as the man disposed of several hundred of these "gifts" in Williamsport, it is not difficult to see that the giving was not of the kind that impoverish es. —At the Congregational m eeting in the Presbyterian church of this town last Mon day morning, the Trustees announced that the last of the debt of SIB,OOO, incurred some ten or twelve years ago for enlarging and re pairing the church was paid, and some mon ey left in the Treasury. The Trustees then voted to do what they have wished to do for years, t. e. increased Rev. Oiler's salary to S2OOO per year. —Mr. Matthew Cunningham, of Jefferson twp. one of our good old citizen s, was in town Tuesday last, and seeing the tearing down of the old Dougal corner building, said that if he had all the money that had been made in that old corner he could buy out Jefferson township entire. Mr. Cun uingham says he bought violin strings from the late William S. Boyd, then keeping store there, in the year 1833. —Great excitement was caused in Butler yesterday by the sight of a man running towards the Diamond at full speed. With visions of mur der, burglary, arson or embezzlement filling their minds, the officers and several citizens intercepted the indi vidual just as he was about to escape When questioned as to his motive for such hasty entrance to the town he re plied: ''Release me instantly, I have just read in the CITIZEN, that Rosen berg is making and selling clothing cheaper than any other man in But ler. Paradise Regained. The hearing of the Petrolia liquor cases took place, as per programme, before Esq. McAboy in Butler last Saturday. Mrs Core and her counsel were present; the defendants and their counsel were present, but of the sev eral dozen witnesses whose unntes were on the subpienas, but teu an swered to their names. Mr. Alexander, the Constable, said he had tried to do his duty, but couldn't End the men, and as to one party, said he "came within one" of getting him: The troubles that the Pilgrim encountered in bis Progress to Heaven are nothing compared to those of the Constable who presumes to look for supposed drinkers of ille gal ly sold liquor in Petrolia. The case of Dr. Foote waa the first taken up, and Michael Daly, Cousta ble of Petrolia, was the first witness, lie never saw or knew of any viola tion of the liquor laws there. . John Clark got liquor at Foote's drug store, but only on prescription. Casper Yough sad Jas. Gilbert the same. Jas. Aiken never got any liquor at Foote's, and neither did Albert Gib son, and Albert never drank any liquor in Foote's back room. Richard Doyle and Harry Wil liams got liquor there, but only on prescription and for sickness. In the case vs. the Drs, Foster, Jas. Aiken, C. Yough, W. P. Jame son, R. Doyle, Isaac Roberts, Jas. Gilbert, of Karns City, and Har ry Williams were sworn, and neither of them got liquor at Foster's, ex cepting on prescription and for med icinal purposes. We did not hear the evidence in "French Mary's" case, but are told that nobody present criminated her, and when Mike Daly said she was a lady, as much of a lady as Mrs. Core's counsel was a gentlemen, that settled it, and the defendant's were discharged. "It was the worst case of "Para dise Regained" that has ever hap pened iu the county, and when those citizens of Petrolia who fled the threatening storm return to their homes they will find the white winged angels of peace hovering oyer the once again Happy Hamlet. The Danger Before Us. We have already alluded to the importance of housekeepers paying more attention to the kind of baking powder used in leavening their bread This is a matter to which we cannot draw attention too often, because it is something which involves the most serious cousequences to the general body of maukiud. Temperance apos tles tell us—and there is ample foun dation for the statement—that there is disease, both moral and physical, in the intoxicating cup; and in the same way there is disease, slow per haps, but certain, in the leavening agent which is employed in one half of the homes on this continent; sick ness, perhaps death, in the bread we eat at every meal—slow poison, plac ed there, too, by loving hands, by mothers whose every thought is for the health and happiness of their chil dren, by wives whose chiof solace is the life and comfort of their hus bands. The victim of intoxication goes to his fate with a full conscious ness of what he is doing, but the vic tim of the adulterated and poisonous baking powder falls and knows not whence comes the blow that struck him. The certificate of chemists with high-sounding titles have baen read in confidence; the toothsome cake has been given in generous abun dance to the children; the daily bread has been eaten in fancied security. But all the time the poison has baaa working its slow effect. There comes spells of headache, loss of appetite, a fluttering of the heart; the child is seized with an apparently causeless cough, the coating of the stomach is destroyed perhaps; one of the vital organs is rendered almost useless; the kidneys are attacked with Bright's disease. The health of the child is irreparably broken down; the adult becomes a chronic invalid. These are the doings of the modern cheap baking powders that are composed of lime, alum, acids and other vile things. In view of these facts surely all housewives should exercise the care that is, we know, now exercised by some in their selections of a proper brand of baking powder. She who does not do so, whether the neglect is the result of ignorance or reckless ness, cannot free herself from the re sponsibility for the health, perhaps life, thereby endangered. No house wife need be ignorant of the quality and composition of the article which she uses to leaven her bread, biscuits and cake. The official reports of the government chemists, who are certain ly unprejudiced, have been published and show very clearly the quality aad strength of all the baking pow ders in the market. The Royal Bak ing Powder, which is accessible at every hand, is reported absolutely free from lime, alum, phosphatic acid, or any injurious ingredients. It is further stated by the most eminent authorities on food hygiene that food leavened with it is more wholesome than when raised by any other meth od. Its use is therefore to be com mended. It is to be regretted that no other baking powder, when there are so many in the market, some of which will find their way into use, is free from all of these substances. They all contain either lime or alum. The housekeeper who regards the health of her loved ones should not only or der the Royal, but make personal ex amination to bo sure that no other brand is sent her in its place. Y. M. C. A.

RENOVO, PA., April I—A report has reached this point of a brutal murder committed four or five miles south of Curwensville, iu Clearfield county, but the full particulars, owiog to the distauce of the point from any telegraph office, are hard to obtain. Miss Lizzie Eastman, a young lady teaching school in one of the farming districts of Clearfield county, was found dead in the school house last Tuesday evening. Her tongue had been cut from its roots and lay beside her dead body. The school had been dismissed as usual at 4 o'clock and the pupils left their teacher alone in the school house. In the right hand of the dead woman was found a lead pencil and on the floor near her dead body was written in her handwriting the revolting particulars of her death. Two tramps bad entered the school house after the pupils had been dis missed. They overpowered and out raged her, afterwards severing her tongue with a knife and then fled, leaving her for dead. She recovered sufficiently to write on the school house floor and had succeeded in giv ing the above particulars with discrip tion of her assailants, when she grew too weak to write more, and died be fore she was found. The affair has created a great sen sation here, where the young ladj was well and favorably known. Miss Eastmen was a remarkably beautiful girl, but of a most fearle3S disposition She had often been warned against tarrying too long after school, as tramps were not infrequent in the neighborhood. She always laughed at such remarks and asserted that she was not afraid of being molested. As soon as the body was found, a posse was organized to go in pursuit of the villians whohad murdered Ler, but so many hours had elapsed since the deed was committed that the men made good their escape. The descrip tion left by the young girl is sufficient ly complete, so that the men can probably be identified if found, unless they have taken extraordinary precau tions to disguise themselyes. A young man who was engaged to the unfortunate girl is almost crazy, and swears that he will not rest until ho has found the iieuds and slain them both. The parents of the girl are bowed down wiih grief, and there is general mourning among her many friends. Her pretty ways and pleasant man ners had enderred her to every one.

CITIZEN, Dear Sirs: —This property after being used as a hotel for more than half a century has been sold and so disposed of as to unfit it for hotel purposes. Nearly forty years ago it was the "Bull's Head," and Adam Bepler was proprietor for some four years. Then it was the "Carson House" for eleven years with James Carson proprietor Then it was the "Rolshouse Hotel," with George llolshouse proprietor for four years and Robert Rolshouse proprie tor for three pears. Then "White's Hotel," with Nathan White proprietor lor seven years. Then "The Garvin House." B. Garvin proprietor four years. Then the "Swan House" the past four years.
