The Republican County Commit tee met pursuant to the call of Coun ty Chairman Kindlev, in the rooms of the Young Mens' Republican Club, ! in Butler, last Saturday afternoon. Chairman Find ley called the meet ' ing to order, and a call of the roll showed twenty-six members present as follows: Allegheny—J. C. Kiskaddon. Bald Ridge—W. R. Patterson. Butler—A O. Eberhart. Centre —W. A. Christie. Cherry X.— A. M Christley. Clay—W. C. Kindley. Coucord—ll. J. Clark. Conno. X. —G. M. Uraham. Fairview E.—J. M. McCuliough. Fairview W—W. P. Brown. Franklin—Allen McCall.

The chairman then stated the ob ject of the meeting which was to con sult regarding the Registration and Assessiug of yoters in the different districts,and to return the poll books. Several members were called upon for reports from their districts, and res ponded favorably, and the poll books were handed to the chairman, who proposes duplicating and then return ing them. The question of having a grand dem onstration in Butler was considered, and it was decided to have one,to which all the old veterans of 1840 will be invited, but the day was not fixed. It was moved and carried that sub committee-men be appointed for each school-district in the county, and the comrnitee-nien present suggested names to the chairman. Mr. Townsend, our candidate for Congress came into the rooms, and was called upon for a few remarks. He responded and talked very sensi bly regarding his prospective duties as the Representative of this district, said he wished to become acquainted with our interests so that he could intelligently represent them, and though he takes it for granted, as we all do, that the Republicans wiil carry Pennsylvania this year, hoped that our majority would reach at least 100,0U0, and advised paying close attention to the campaign to ob tain that result. He made a very good impression upon the committee, and was afterwards introduced to all present. Towards the end of the meeting, and after several of the members had left the hall, Mr. McCullough of Fair view made a motion for the appoint ment of a Finance committee, con sisting of the County Chairman and two secretaries and Mr, W. G. Hays. This brought on something of a dis cussion, but was finally carried by a vote of 7 to G. Fire in Centre Township. When Mr. Henry \V. Whitmire of Centre twp., left his barn last Satur day evening he left the doors closed and everything secure. At about 10 o'clock, their dog begun barking BO furiously that the family looked out, but thev saw nobody about, and went to bed. At about 11 o'clock Esq, Moses Thompson, who lives with them, heard a roaring" noise, and looking out his window saw that the entire roof of the barn was in (l imes. He hastily awakened Mr. Whitmire and they ran out, and found one of small doors of the upper part of the barn open, and the fire so advanced that it was dangerous to enter it. Then they went the basement and saved what they could there, and oc cupied themselves in preventing the sparks from the flames, which rose to a height of fifty feet, from setting fire to the wagon shed and house. The barn and all its contests— which included five hundred bushels of oats, twelve to fourteen tons of hay, one hundred and twenty-five bushels of rye and wheat, utraw, corn plow, cultivator, wagon bed, forks, scoops, etc, were de stroyed. It was a substantial bank barn about 30 x .">0 fit. Fortunately no live stock were in it at the time. From the fact that the small door was open,and also that he has enemies in the neighborhood growing out of a recent law suit or prosecution, Mr. Whitmore thinks that lire was the work of an incendiary Ho estimates his entire loss at $lB, slßoo,and is insured in Butler Mutual for Si:JOO. Base Ball Notes. The Butler Base Ball Club was re organized last Thursday, and it will hereafter be managed by Charley l'ape and John Wise. On Saturday the Frogtown Hum mers played the Glade Run club at Glade Run and defeated them by a score of 12 to G. O'Brien and Irvin were the battery for the Hummers. On Saturday, a part of the Fishels. with Gowing, l'ape and 1!. Ileineman in the out field, easily defeated the Meadville club by a score of 10 to ;j Murdock and Borland were the bat tery for the I'Mshels, and Grieb, um pire. The Fishels played two gamc3, Tuesday, at New Castle, with tha Neshanuocks, losing the first by a score of 7 to 5, and winning the sec ond by a score of C, to 5. The New Castle club will play three games hero thiu week—Thurs day. Friday and Saturday afternoons. The Fishels will give a Festival in the Kink for the benefit of tho club, Thursday and Friday evenings, and all lovers of base ball should put in an appearance. $3 Oil. Captain Vandergrift, the oil man, has lately been predicting Three-dol lar oil by the first of January next, and considering that tho consumption of crude is now about 75,000 barrels a day, the production but 15,000 bar rels, and that the stocks ou baud have steadily been decreasing at the rate of a million barrels a mouth, the predic tion is not unreasonable. And we wish to say, that should it coino to pasu t{sat oil ajjajn reaches a fair price, to no one man qn Farth will more credit bo due than to Mr. Thos. W. Phillips,whose interest and faith iu ihe shijt-ii< movement have made high-prices possible Farmers and Stock raisers Take Notice. Mr. J. J.

The Educational Picnic. Picnic, n, (French piquenique) Formerly an entertainment at which ■ each person contributed some dish or ' article for the general table;in present I use, an entertainment carried ou by u i party on an excursion of pleasure in to the country; also the party itself. Webster. Xo enthusiasm about that. Cold, hard, business-like definition. Good old Noah Webster probably never was at one in bis life or he would certainly have put more color in his definition of a picnic. Some old dyspeptic has told Webster all he knew of that peculiar feature of this land of the free, and that's why there is snch an absence of enthusiasm about a picnic as it appears in Web ster's Unabridged. Now, if he could have been at the Educational Picnic at Slippery Rock Park on Wednesday. To begin with: Everybody in Cen treville was there, uearly everybody of Ilarrisyille and a great many from everywhere else in the county. The teachers were there, the friends of education generally were there, and the Professors wers there, and let it be known that when they get out they have a t-i-m-e. The weather was fine,and everyone had more than a barrel of fun. The first event of the day was a ball game between the Ceutreville and Greenville clubs and Ourville beat Theirvilie by a score of 13 to 10, which goes to show that education and athletics go hand-in-hand. Dinner was aonounced at twelve o'clock aud the only way the amount eaten could be accounted for was on the supposition that everyone was a hearty eater aud mighty hungry, and that, everything was "perfectly fplen did." The way spring chickens of | the vintage of'Bß disappeared was ; appalling and was enough to make | the Undertaker's Trust shake in its! boots. After dinner school was called and speeches were made by some of the leading educators of this vicinity. Prof Mnckey, Snp't of City Schools here, spoke first, and cautioned the Normal School in the selection of the Faculty,saying that the school would be as its teachers. He made a very logical address in favor of educatiou as a polish and refinement, and plead for its appreciation as an inward en joyment and for self culture as being an idea over and above its value as a practical benefit in life. Lev. McQuistion, Eeq. made an ad dress on moral traiuing in connection with science, thought morals could be taught in the schoolroom without the Bible, and said that all the com monwealth expected of our public schools was to turn out good citizens, Sup't of Pittsburg Schools, George J. Luckey was a mirthful and im pressive speaker who opposed teach ing religion and science in the same school and thought France was made infidel ou that account, giving as his reason that requiring everything to be demonstrated makes one want the fact of our creation by God to be demonstrated, too. Prof. Luckey evidently forgets that even in math ematics there are truths which defy demonstration. Two parallel straight lines, however far extended will never meet, yet who can demonstrate it? Ho closed with the Catacomb story which was heartily applauded. I'rof. Hamilton, Sup't of Allegheny Schools, spoke in an entertaining ar;d instructive manner. Hon. (J. VV. Fleeger made a short address complimenting the people of Centreville on their enterprise in tak ing hold of the Normal School mat ter, aud their energy in making a HUC cess of it. Sup't of Mercer Co. Schools, S. H. McOleery, in his remarks, compared the reports of graduates and qaalili cations of teachers in the Counties ol Western Pennsylvania and showed what a benelit a Normal School is to its county. Altogether the picnic was one ol tile pleasantcst affairs that has been held for a long time and a handsome sum was cleared, besides. The Trustees of the Normal School who composed the committee of arrangements are to be given great credit for tho success which crowned their labors. Granger's Picnic. Grangers and Laborers' Picnic at Slipperyrock Park, Wednesday, Sop't 19th. A Congress of the people, also the People's Court, a political debate to be participated in by all parties. Re v.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Esq Henley of Foxburg. an old Justice olth- Peace, died last Sun j day. Dr. M. II Borl tnd, oiie of j brightest physiciaus of Pittsburg, j committed suicide by poisoning him self, Tuesday afternoon. The store of W. G. Hunter, one of the largest dry goods dealers in New [ Castle was closed by the Sheriff of 1 Lawrence county, last Thursday. The trial of Dan Ever hart for the murder of Mrs. Gillilian and Mrs Eyerhart, began in Clarion last Thursday, but came to a sudden stop on Saturday morning, by reason of the siekuess of one of the jurors, and the ease was continued lill the third Monday of November. During the trial, as far as it went, some startling testimony regarding ill will in the family over the partition ot the es tate, was developed. The boiler of a threshing machine, near Titusvillc, exploded last Satur day, and killed four men, although it had been examined and pronounced safe, a few minutes before. The wife of James Walley of near Queenstown, Armstromg county,was siezed with a cataleptic fit while at work in her spring house, last Satur day, fell into a spring and drowned. About two weeks ago a Mrs. Lees, who claims to be a faith cure doctor ess, made a visit to the residence of Mrs John Newman, in Frenchcreek tp, Venango county.and with a num ber of neighbors, held a regular pray er meeting for the recovery of that lady lrom consumption, she being in the last stages of that disease. On Wednesday Mrs. Lees so played up on the feelings of the sick woman that she imagined herself cured, and, in attempting to leave her bed, was seized with a violent hemorrhage and fell to the floor, dying in a few mo ments. Prominent physicians say the woman's death was hastened by excitement, and Mrs. Lees has disap peared. The New Castle News says that Ex-Sheritr Breckenridije, of this county, purchased a horse from Heim & Neal, liverymen, at Pittsburg, on Friday last, and gave his check for $95 on the Hubbard, 0., bank for part payment. When the two liverymen made inquiries at the Hubbard bank, they found no money on deposit to the ex-sheriff's credit. They went straightway before an alderman and made and information charging Mr. Breckenridjje with horse stealing. Detective Kocrman, of Pittsburg, and Mr. Heim came to this city early Sunday moruing and arrested the ex sherif!, and Al. Garvin went on his bond in the sum of S.'JOO. —Where are the wives and daughters that have not williugly denied them selves of perhaps a new bonnet, hat or dress that husbands and sou 3 could get all kinds of the best labor-saving machinery Would it not be manly to see that the women are provided with the latest and best device on earth to do wash ing—The Allen Washer.

Never before have your customers I been so exacting or hard to please as they have been during the past sea ! son and next season the case will l>e worse, instead of better. This is caused by a more general ! intelligence and broader education on the part of the people, and by a lack of corresponding progress upon the part of the dressmakers. Requesting you to carefully read the following, we are, very respectful- Jy. PLTTOCK & LAYKRY, Gen. Agents. Dressmaking in the Future. From the National Uiiion] All arts or trades are rapidly chang ing and improving uuder the careful painstaking ideas of this practical age. Yet there is one art that has failed to advance in a general way with the others. We refer to the art of dressmaking, and especially of dress cutting. But few people realize the import ance ot the above statement; yet within the next few years changes in ideas and opinions will force a tidal wave over this country that will swamp everything before it. Like all radical changes there are many who will oppose it, yet their opposi tion will be carried away with a strength and rush that will make it ap pear as if there was no opposition, while others will be wise enough to see the tide that leads to fortune, and quick { enough to take it at its flow. A few years ago a lady thai; wanted | to be well dressed patronized French j dressmakers, not through force of j fashion, but for the best reasons, the ' English and American dressmakers | were not able to produce the fit and style as were French dressmakers. This was on account of lack ol sys tematic methods used in their work. We know full well that many will take issue with us upon this question, yet an examination of the facts will warrant the statement here made and would even admit of stronger argu ment. This question should not be iguor ed by any one, and should especially be heeded by the young ladies and dressmakers of America. ideas are constantly changing and every day brings out new styles and combinations which must be under stood in order to satisfy, and no dress maker is capable of doiug the work demanded of her and for which cus tomers pay unless she keeps up with these changes. Is the average dressmaker ablo to meet the demands brought to her by her best customers at this time? No, she is not; and why not? In order to answer this question intelligently it is necessary to examine the plau of training the young dressmakers, and then see the methods afterwards fol lowed, The first thing that occurs, a young woman concludes she wants to work at the trade, and goes and sews three or four months with some one who is conducting the business. She is taught but very little of any thing but the plain sewing and but tonhole making, seeing but little of the cutting and basting of the dress es that are made in the establishments. She is taught nothing of scientific principles, not even knowing such things exist, and as to the beauty of outline in form and geometric propor tion of lines, she has never heard of such a thing and if her teacher knows anything more about it than she does herself, it is a rare occurence. No one, after sober reflection, will say that tho training thus received is beneficial to any great degree, and in most cases everything done has a tendency to unfiit the worker for good practical work. About tho last week they are engaged iu their apprentice ship, they are given a few lessons in some antiquated system, which in its day of glory hud neither fit nor style in its catalogue of good qualities. With this kind of training or none at all, the dressmaker sticks out her shingle and goes to work as a "first-class" dressmaker. Now, the wonder is cot that they fail iu turn ing out good work, but that they can do anything. There are a few worthy exceptions that go to prove the rule, and all such deserve great praise when the trials they must have encountered are con sidered. Tho French dressmaker learned some time ago tho need of a radical chanjo in such methods, and a few enterprising far-flighted inon went to work to remove the evil in their own cane, and did HO to such an extent that they wore able to produce sty lish, good fitting dresses upon scien tific principles of cutting and making. Tho results were that thoy had more than they could do at fabulous prices. The knowledge of such work having been done extended over England aud America, bearing with it a desire on the part of the ladies to have their dress,makers produce for them the same kind of work. This demand aroused a npirit of emulation upon the part of the best city dressmakers iu both countries with a result that is beneficial and is helpiug to forward the revolution above referred to. But the knowledge upon the part of tho people that there was something better anions the possibilities has led to this uprising, until it has becomo a universal feeling on the part of the people. This demand must bo gratified, and woe unto tho dressmaker who trios to dam up such a torrent, and great pro lit will be gained by those who are shrewd enough to get in the grand procession. It would bo profitable to know tho cause of such a change in public sentiment, but it is often difficult to understand why a certain wave of sen timent passes over a country at a cer tain time, yet it is a known fact that such things often do occur, but the greatest factor at work in this case is the effort being put forth by . the National Garment Cutter Company and to that company is due great ere J it. Messrs. l'ittock Laverv, repre senting the company iu tho State of Pennsylvania, have opened instruc tion rooms on Mnin street; whore they will instruct all desiring it in the art of cutting by the most approved methods.
