It is nothing more or less than the use of ice water for the destruction of the insect pests which infest plants during the sum mer season. This suggestion comes from a gardncr in Chambersburg, who sa.\ s that ice-cold water is a good insecticide when applied to plants with a force-pump or large syringe. It drenches the leaves, chilling and knocking off the insects, which often cannot be reached in any other way, and the eggs of the pests are also knocked off and destroyed. It is especially appro priate and effective in the destruction of the rose slug. Many persons dislike to ap ply poison to their flowers, and many other remedies are objectionoblc, but in ice water, according to this gentleman, they have a cheap, easy and effective rem edy. —All tho regiments of the National Guard are now in their encampments, the 15th Keg, of which the Ilutler eompauy is a part, being located near Grove <-'ity.

The National Guard of Pennsylvania is now recognized as the most powerful and tho most thorotigly equipped Itody of l.'nolo Sam's citizen sol diery. The idea in tho militia of this .State is that the various regiments shall be ready for service ami available for duty in the shortest possible time, and therein lies the great principle of our nation's pow er of defense. Given a few experiences of being under fire and the militia of this State would be transformed at once into vetcraus, hardened, ready ami effective The same mark is aimed at in other States, but is more nearly approached in Pennsylvania than in any other State iu the Union. Quite a number of Itutlcr peo ple will witness the exercises of the regi ment to-day, Thursday.

Several families near Harmony, anr#nm' 7.icglcr who live • :i - i-p-• -it sides of the ereek. a .-hort distance at>ov«- the town, are accommodating boarder from the city thi - summer. On Tuesday morning of thi* week. fiv>- yoanjr ladies who are hoarding at Feidler got into his spring-wagon and drove over the bridge to Ziegler's. and sat in tli■ wagon in front of the house talking to some boarders there. The railroad passes the front of Ziegler's house through a deep cut, right along the road, and when the whistle of an approaching train was heard, the ladies were warned of their danger and advised to get otit of the wagon till tl>e train passed, but they did not think it necessary to do so. As the train came nearer, however, the horse became frightened and backed thtm all over th<> embankment, anJ threw tiiem headlong in front of the locomotive, and one of them —Miss Oppenheimer was cut to pieces and instantly killed, two others had limbs crushed and sustained injuries that may prove fatal, and the other two escaped with but slight injuries. The horse, also, was skinned and cut to pieces. The names of the ladies in the wagon were Misses Nannie Oppenheimer, ft 11a Floersheim, Amanda Klee. Bella Woruiser and Mi-s Herzog. The remains of Miss Oppenheimer were taken to her home in Allegheny that eve ning. Miss Klee whose leg was broken and Miss Floersheim whose hip was din located were also taken to their homes there, and the others went home. Mi-- Oppenheimer was the only daughter of Muses Oppenheimer, the clothier. Since the above was put in type we have received the following from a correspond ent at Harmony. For the past two weeks several young ladies from Pittsburg have been stopping at Judge Fiedler's ami on the fatal morn the young ladies asked Mr. Fidler for his horse and buggy to take a drive. So they proceeded on their way till they came to the residence of Mr. A. Ziegler where they stopped to chat with friends, when a heavy freight train came thundering past and the lady having the lines pulled on thein and the horse backed the wagon down over the bank, when half of the train had passed the wagon (tilled with its human freight) and horse went down against the train that was running at a high rate of speed. Mis- Oppenheiuier, daughter of il. Oppenheim er. the Market street clothier, was instant ly killed and Miss liella Flocrsheim had her right hip dislocated, while Miss Klee was severely bruised aliout the face and shoulders, the other three ladies all escap ed injury. I)rs. Redmond, Ralston and Fiedler were soon on hands, and the wounds were soon dressed and dislocation reduced. Friends were telegraphed for and came on the 3 p.m. train, and the 6:30 train took the body home, and Miss Floersheim was placed on a cot and Dr. Redmond went to the city with the sor rowing party. All the parties moved in the*highest lie brew society of Pittsburg, and were be loved by all who knew them. The doctor returned this morning and reports the patients doing well. KAIMV Sudden Death in the Lockup. On Monday night last, a man who went down the alley back of the Vogeley House to get a horse hitched there, saw a man apparently intoxicated lying in front of Gregg's livery stable. lie called the night watchman, and the two men lifted the drunken man and carried him into the lockup. The drunken man was breathing heavily, but the men who carried him thought that this was simply the result of the liquor and paid 110 attention to it. Next morning when the police went to the lockup fur the man. he was found to be dead, and a bruise on his head indicated that lie'had fi.llen from the doorway of the mow of the stable in front of which he was found lying. His name was George Dallam, lie was brought to this town a few weeks ago by Watson Taylor, the colored horse-dealer, a.id spent most of his time at the race track. He was a man of about 55 years of age, was a good workman, and his onlj' fault was his indulgence in liquor. Among his effects was found a receipt from thß postmaster of I'lttsburg, dated March lit, IHS9, for a registered letter sent to Mrs. I'eek of Lexington, Ky., and on the receipt was written the name, Mrs. Annie I'eak. An inquest was held, Tuesday morning, by Coroner Storey and a jury of six men who found the facts as above stated, also that llallam had been drinking since last Satnr day, that he was much intoxicated Monday evening and had obtained permission to go to the hay mow to sleep: that he had fallen from the door of the mow to the alley be low, a distance of about ten feet, and that his death was due to intoxication and the shock of the fall: that a bottle partly filled with liquor was found on his person, etc. Death of Mike Farrell. Mike Farrell, a glass blower, came to this town, with his family, about three years ago. He was a good workman and often made as high as $7 a day, but through intemperate drinking lost his position. After the bottle works here were burned he went with the crowd to Anderson, Ind., but came back from there, last April, in poor health, and since his return has done no good. On Wedne.-day he was with some loafer about the hoard-yard, auil all were drunk. Wlirti his wife got home from her work, that afternoon, Mike was lying 011 the floor and complaining of being sick, lie said that he thought some beef-tea would help him, and his wife went to the meat market and got a piece of beef, but when she returned he was unconscious and con tinued so till his death, which occurred about 10 i'. m. The wife and her four children live in the back part of the old drugstore building on Jefferson St. They are in want and should be helped. Death of John Bredin. Word reached town last Tuesday that John lircdin had been drowned in the Allegheny river, and tlx- T'trgrafill of that evening said: "John lircdin. sou of ex- Judge lircdin, was drowned in the Alle gheny river, under the Ninth Street Itridge about 3 o'clock this morning, and his body has not yet been recovered. He crossed the bridge from Allegheny, sat down on the steps of a house 011 Ninth Street, and then started to rccross to Allegheny, when lie was seen to climb the rail, lose his balance and tall into the water. lie made some efforts to reach the shore but soon sank to rise 110 more. The policeman on the beat ami the watchman at the gas house, near the bridge, who saw the occur rence, immediately went to his rescue in a skiff, but were too late to save him." The body was recovered from the Ohio river, near Helleview, Wednesday after noon, and the funer.il will take place in I Sutler to day. Lawn Fete. The V. W. C. T.

ONCE MOKE. The Truth and Nothing but the I Truth. Many year- ago when we. along with our fellow citizens, were paying #l5O to $250 for a buggy, we conceived the idea that less than SIOO ought to buy a buggy good enough for almost any man. We set about investigating the matter—went to the largest manufactories in the V. S. and made a contract for a full car-load to be made to our order. Wc had the cash in our pocket, and the result was that the buggies were made and shipped to us. Om neighbors (we lived in Prospect, this county, then) said we made a mistake— that we could not sell them —and we con f< ; when we did see them all .set up in a row we felt n little as though we had an elephant on onr hands in a dry summer, lint we had good buggies, bought low for cash, and of course we could sell low. It was the fir-t time in the history of Butler county that a good buggy could be bought lor less than SIOO. In thirty dayswe were out of buggies and another carload on the way. Kvervbody wanted one of our buggies— the rich iiuui >; w thej were* good enough fci him to l id.' in and the poor nan for the ftr-t time in his life rejoiced in being able to own a buggy. Just so it went; our bus iness grew, neighbor told neighbor: it spread all over this State and into other States until we found it impossible to car ry cn our large business without good ship ping facilities. We selected Butler as the place last November. We purchased the old manufacturing establishment formerly conducted by (!. • . lloos.sing A Sou, on Cunningham street, where we hive located permanently, and Butler can boast to-day of having probably^the largest wholesale and retail carriage dealers in the State. We keep in stock everything in the Car riage. Wagon. Cart Harness and Kobe line. We have top baggies from S4O up to the very finest hand made work Carts. sl2 up: harness, $0 to the very best hand made harness to be tound anywhere. Jtc. Our success in business we attribute to onr rules first adopted. Xerer ask rxhotbitant prices. Xrrcr Mifreprtsent. Thus we have won the good will and confidence of every customer. We say with pride that we have sold hundreds of buggies on time and never had a man refuse to pay his note on ac count of the article not being as represent ed. This i» remarkable, considering otir nine years' business. We have plenty of money: never sell a note.
