The storm that visited Butler, Monday afternoon, was as wide-spread as any we have ever read of. Reports iroui Titusville and Oil City to the north of us, and from Wheeling to the south of us show that the width of the belt visited by the storm was a wide one, and reports from Huntingdon to the east of us and from as far West as Tope ka, Kansas to the west show that the belt visited was an unusually long one. The storm struck Butler at about 2 p.m., and in a few miuutcs did considerable dam age. Part of the tin rotfiug of the Court House was ripped off and thrown to the street, the tin-roof of the jail was bulged, almost all the stationary awnings in the town were torn to tatters and in some cases the iron rods holding them were bent, the cornices of the new Schenck and Reiber buildings were thrown over, but jne derrick on the hill south of town was left standing, the hose drying steeple on the jail lot was upset, Madison Starr's new house on N. Mc- Kean street was moved ab jut a foot aud the contractor, Adam Haffner, put it in place next day with four jacks, shade and fruit trees were broken and blown over, fences were blown down and Charley Kerr, who was working on the ball grourds fence says he was blown acrcis the street —the first time he ever flew and perhaps the last—; Phillips Bros. had 21 rigs blown down at Keibold aud Glade Run, ail the oil operators in the coun ty had some rigs destroyed, bail fell in the Saxon field and the hail stones hitting the team of a man named Martin saved his life, for the team scared and ran out of a shed just before a derrick tumbled upon it; John Robb's barn in Oakland twp. was upset and his 13 year old boy, who was in the barn at the time had his arm broken, a traiu was blown off the track near Foxburg. Reports from Beaver, New Castle, Green ville, Oil City, Kittanning and other towns show that the damage done there was similar to that done here. Out West, a water-spout in Dawes county, Dacota, submerged a railroad track for five miles and washed away bridges, at Daven port, la., hailstones weighing an ounce fell, windows were broken and crops damaged; near Indianapolis, Ind. a farmer named Benson aud his team were struc.k by light ning and killed. Near Tupeka, Kan. large hail stones fell and drifted toa depth of three feet, and cattle were cut by the hail stones until the blood ran; at Stockton, Kas. the river bottom was overflowed and two fami lies carried off, three children are known to have been drowned.

Please allow as through your val uable paper, in behalf of the children of St. Paul's Orphan Home, to return to tbe Carpenters and Joiners Ass'n of Batler, and their estimable wives and daughters, our most heartfelt thanks for the unexpected honor con ferred upon as in providing such an elegant dinner as waß served to as in the Riok on Decoration Day.

Lecture By Dr. Mary Allen. The people of Butler will have a genuine treat on Sunday evening, at the Presbyterian church, in the lec ture of Dr. Mary Allen, of Ithaca, N. Y. It will be remembered that she delivered one of hor popular lectures to an overflowing house here a year ago, and so delighted her audience that the W. C. T. U. under whose auspices she comes, has succeeded in securing her for another lecture. We may safely say that those who attend will pronounce tbe lecture one of tbe best. No admission fee will be char ged, but, as usual, a collection will be taken which, it is hoped, will be gen erous enough to pay expenses. "As a temperance address it was eminently successful This lecture repeated in every town in the State would lie the most effective crueade ag&iust intemperance aud the saloons, aud make a more lasting impression upon young people, than a score of the ordinary addresses which have become stale, flat, and unprofitable."— Hartford Daily Gourant.

The blacksmiths of Armstrong county are to meet in Kittanning on June 5 for the purpose of forming an organization for mutual improvement and protection The town of Somerset had a $25,- 000 fire one night last week. It is claimed that the fire was started by gome person who took offense at the action of the temperance people of the town and one of the most active ad vocates of "no license" was one of the heaviest sufferers. Officers who hold primaries should exercise great care and gee that no fraud is committed. The officers in a couple of districts in Lancaster coun ty, at the last primary election con cluded to give one of the candidates a boost and stuffed the ballot box. They were arrested, tried and convicted a»d the other day sentenced to pay a fine and undergo an imprisonment of one year and two weeks. This was a pretty salty sentence, but the offend ers will not do it again. The steel works that have caused so much excitement have decided to locate at Latrobe? The people raised $20,000 and bought for them l>s acres of the Bossartfarm, the company pur chasing the remainder. The water company will give them water free for 10 years. They will also get gas free. The stockholders of the Ligo nier Valley Railroad will give them the privilege of using their road from the Pennsylvania Railroad to their works. Work will commence as soon as the papers are made out. The works will employ about 500 men The Indiana, Pa , Messenger says: The idea that "DO license" makes a dull town is all fudge. Indiana has not had a licensed house for several years and there never was a time when more business was transacted. When we had seven licensed houses at least SIOO per week were spent at the bars for beer and whisky That money is now spent for the necessa ries of lifejandjnany families now have plenty to eat and good clothes to wear who, under license, were half fed and half cloched. And the curious part of it is that our hotel men appear to thrive as well without license as they did with it. They have more satis faction iu conducting their business and are not harrassed by the fear of prosecution and are not it constant dread of a drunken row that will break up a hundred dollars worth of furni t»re and generally demoralize their houses. One of our prominent land lords told us the other day that he would rather close his house than con duct it in connection with a bar. And after an experience of several years, men who thought they could not pos sibly get along without their daily beer and whisky, now find their ap petite for the fiery liquid gone and they, too, are satisfied to live in a "no license" town. All things considered a town might be struck with some thing worse than prohibition. Mrs. Betsy Hover, mother of Mrs. W. C. Thompson, of this place, died at the residence of her son, Rev. W H. Hover, in Butler county, Thurs day night of last week. Her remains were brought to Jamestown on Sat urday and buried.—Greenville, Pa., Argus. At a preliminary hearing before 'Squire It. 11. McGreggar, of East Brady, last Thursday. Daniel S. Everhart and James Horner charged with the Everhart murder, were dis charged. Ten witnesses were exa mined for the prosecution, but the testimony was not deemed strong enough to hold them by the Justice. The general opinion was that the pris oners should have been held and they were rearrested. A curiosity in the shape of a goose borry bush growing on a pear tree may be seen in D. J. Fitzgerald's lot, West New Castle. The gooseberry sprout was grafted upon the pear tree this spring and is beginning to bloom already. There are six different kidds of pears and an apple branch growing on the same tree. The highest priest of the Salvation army, now operating in Oil City, call ed at " The Derrick 1 ' office a few days ago to demaud the retraction of as persions in that newspaper against him and his followers. " The Der rick," describing tho interview, re tracts as follow*: "Aa a matter of square toed fact, the H. P. of the S, A. does not impress us Btrongly as a man who fs on terms of sweet inti macy with Jehovah; but in this as in other things, wo may be in error. The boss of the Salvation Army strikes us as a man who, by walking about the streets, is taking great chances of being run in for a vaga bond. If this sweet singer of Israel has seen a bar of soap in the last six months, his face and hands give no evidence of it. He is the poorest ad vertisement of a soap house we have eyef seen. And we trust we may not soon see such another except through a spy-glass, with the wind and distance in our favor." It is reported from Huntingdon, this State, that while Jerry Green, a farmer, of Porter township, was en gaged in plowing he suddenly stop ped bis team, and, unhitching his horses, proceeded to the home. Ho was met by his wife at the barn, and, upon being asked the reason why be came home, remarked that it was too dark to work. Subsequently physi cians were called in, aud an examina tion disclosed the fact that the man had been stricken with total blind ness. Oa Wednesday afternoon, May 10 M iss Mary, daughter of Dr. and Mr?. D. C. Galbraith, of Franklin, and Mr. Leander Kahle, a rising young attor ney at the Venango bar, were united in marriage, by Rev. J. C Bruco of the Firßt Presbyterian church, in the presence of a large number of invited (juests, among whom were Mrs W. D. Pearson, of London, Mr. and Mrs J. N.

The four year old child of William Wilson, living near Bakerstown, fell into a well twenty feet deep some days ago. A box was fastened to a rope and a Newfoundland dog put in to it and lowered to the water. The dog seized the child's clothing aud ktpt hold until both had been drawn to surface. The child soou recovered from his cold bath. The dog has been in the family for about two years, during which time it has shown great fondness lor the child. —On Sabbath afternoon at four o'clock in the Methodist Episcopal church there will be a meeting of W. C. T. U. and Y. W. C. T. U. Mrs. Allen and Miss Shoek, State organi zers for the Y'a will bo present. Memorial Day. The twentieth annTVersarv of Pec oration Day has come and gone. The custom originated with the late and lamented Gen. John A. Logan, and steadily prew iu popular favor, until it became a legal holiday. Wednes day was a beautiful day—not too hot, not too cold, with neither dust, mud, nor rain—and the fine weather com bined with an unusually complete programme brought people to Butler from all parts of the countv. The first event of the day was the presentation of the banner given by the Reed brothers of Pittsburg to the G. A. R. Post here which is named after their brother, A. G. Reed, who was mortally wounded at Fredericks burg, and who died a few days after. Uol. Thompson made the presentation speech, and it was as patriotic, poeti cal and pathetic an address as anj one could wish to listen to. Captain Alex Russell received the banner and in behalf of the Post made a very gooi response. This took place in front of the Court House, and tht n the procession consisting of the two brass bands, the G. A R. Post, the Militia Company, the Soldiers' orphans, the Odd Fel lows Lodge, and the Spriogdale Hose Co., led by Major Reed and Judge Story on horse back, formed and marched to the North Cemetery. Here the soldiers' graves were decor ated, and then the soldiers assembled and listened to the usual services. Capt. Fieeger was the orator of the day, and he made a splendid on the duties of the day, and mem ories awakened by its recurrence, and he paid Gen John A. Logan a beau tiful and just tribute. The procession again formed and wended its way down the hill, and as nearly everybody was thirsty, the three tubs-full of lemonade that the ladies of the W C.T.U. had supplied were soon disposed of. Decoration day is steadily increas ing in popular favor, and there are good reasons why it should, and why we should continue to revere the memory of those who risked, and who gave up their lives that the Union should be preserved. Every jear of our continued pros perity as a Nation, renews our appre ciation of the services rendered by the armies of 1861-5, and brings more forcibly to our minds the terrible con sequences that would have resulted from a failure of those armies to conquer the Southern hosts. Peak Pleads Guilty. MT. HOLLY, N". J., May 20—There i wa3 a great serration in the trial of! Barclay W. Peak, for the murder of Kate Anderson, this morniug. At the opening of court, Peak entered a plea of guilty to the indictment to the utter surprise of everybody connect ed with the ca9e except possibly his own lawyers. The action of the court yesterday, in excluding the dy ing declaration of the murdered girl, which was the testimony on which the former conviction was obtained by the S„ate. almost assured acquittal of the accused or a disagreement of the jury. Why Peak should have pleaded guilty at the last moment under these circumstances is one of the most remarkable features of this celebrated case. Peak has insisted from the first that he was entirely innocent of the charge, and has borne himself in prison aud in the court room with the utmost coolness. After the decision of Judge Garri son, yesterday, excluding the dying declaration of Katie Anderson, the testimony left was circumstantial, but pointed Btrongly to Peak's guilt. Upon Peak pleading guilty, Judge Garrison instructed the jury to find a verdict of murder in the second de gree and the court would be responsi ble. The jury retired, and after a brief absence, returned with a verdict of murder in the second degree, in ac cordance with the instructions of the court. —Pittsburg was the scene of two murders last Tuesday, both the re sult of jealousy. A man named Mul herron killed a man named Martin whom he found with his wife; and a man named Showlder killed a neigh bor woman named Mullea with whom he had been on intimate terms. —The Republican convention at Mercer last Tuesday nominated Fruit, Hall and Speer for Assembly, Mc- Ciure for Senate, Alexander and Al len for Poor Directors, and Steckcl for Jury Commissioner.

Wbere-ever Mrs. Allen has appeared, the press and the people are extravagant in her praise. A fin ished scholar, an accomplished musi cian,and with her husband Dr.Cbilion Allen a graduate and practitioner in medical science, and having enjoyed the additional advantages of study and travel in foreign lands, she brings to tho platform a combination of rare gifts, not the least of which is a sweet womanly grace that is simply irresis tible.—Sup't Press Work.
