At the last session of the Legislature, a bill was passed authorizing a commission to revise and consolidate the law relating to the construction and improvement of the roads and highways of the State anil to consider the advisability of the State's as sisting in the construction ai.d improve ment ol tho same. The commission is to consist of three members of the Senate,five Representatives, and five citizens appoint ed by tho governor. Those who know of the condition of the roads in this State, and appreciate the economic valuo of good highways, will readily agree that this com mission has an important task to perform. Those who arc familiar with tho jumbled mess of legislation which now controls such matters will realize that the task of revision is a heavy one. So crude and in harmonious arc the existing laws that the commission will probably find tho easiest way to settle the matter to be the devising of a new system, worthy of the name. When the commission begin the work of revision, it is to be hoped that they will make permanency the central feature of their scheme, nad tho State fifty or one hundred years ago begun the construction of a limited annual amount of permanent highway, we would now have tho best roads in America, instead of tho worst. With the lesson of the past in view, the im portance of adopting this reform is the more apparent to-day. The idea of per manence should involve these ideas: First, let the commission of experts determine what shall be considered a staudard road. This may be either a heavily macadamized road, or some form of pavel road, the pav ing forming tho wearing surface of tbe thoroughly built road-bed. The engineer ing science of to-day can plan a road which shall last for centuries, with a merely nom inal expense aunuatly to keep it in repair. Such roads were built by the Romans, and thousands of years ago, and are in use to day. The cost of this standard road may vary from $3,000 to SIO,OOO per mile. II paved it need not exceed 15 or 18 feet in width, except on approaching largo towns. As to material, which would regulate the cost, the most durable is granite paving. Asphalt comes next, then brick, wood and macadam. In cost, when tho expense of repairs is considered, tho order is precisely reversed. In other words,macadam is tho most expensive in the long run. Then comes the others. wo«xl. brick, asphalt and granite blocks. Cobble is not worthy of consideration, owing to its roughness and the impossibility of keeping it in repair. The material and method of construction •f the standard road should depend upon what the counties of the State at largo eould afford T'-e best would bo tho che»?'~c. A standard road being decided upon,each county in the State should bo required to lay out a general plan of its county roads, and to build each year a stated amount of such road, in proportion to the assessed valuation of property in the county. The State should bear its share of the burden, by contributing a certain percentage of tho eost, this to be paid over only after proof that the required amount of road had been constructed according to the standard. The standard of material, workmanship and grades could be changed according to the light of experience, as could the amount required to be built annually. But since the work would reasonably begin at the larger centres of population, only a high standard should be adopted at the start. The amount might be vorj- limited. The all important requirement is that some ■uch system be fairly adopted. As to outlying road.- now in existence or constructed hereafter, some modification of the present laws is necessary. The larger portion of the money now spent in such work is totally wasted, no good results be ing effected by its expenditure. The entire system needs overhauliug aud the work upon our roads should be committed to in telligent and responsible partic-.—Wilkos- Barre Hi cord. Ho*. BUSBY K. BOY BR, our candidate for State Treasurer and Hon. W. 11. An drews. Chairman of the State Committee with a party of friends arrived in Butler late last Tuesday evening. They were met at the depot by a few of our prominent men and escorted to a hotel, where they held a reception, and left Butler for Kit tancing next morning. The_. are issking a tour of the Western part of the State. Mr. Boyer is a modest, unassuming gentle man and made a favorable impression on all with whom he came in contact. THE report that Mahoiiu was -hot in Richmond, one day last week, was not true, but the condition of the cauipaigu iu that State makes it altogether likely to oc cur at any time. Maliouc expects to win. He would not have accepted the nomina tion if be had not expected to win. And it is better for the future of Virgin* that be should win. 1 tut before the battle is over there is going to be a campaign of much bitterucs-. and one in which it is just possible that some blood will be shed —but not likely Mahone's. Tbe campaign has opened auspiciously for the Republicans. Many colored voters would not have supported Mahonc on State issues alone, only tho old style Dem ocrats, you know—are never happy unless they arc wrestling with the race question and they have injected it into the caiu paign, thus practically solidifying the col ored vote. It will take a heap of stealing to beat Mahone. and stealing that will be dangerous, in the face of his knowledge of hi* adversaries. Spoiled by the Rain. Owing to the inclemency of tho weather, the Gettysburg Reunion was not a success. A few of the monuments wero dedicated in the rain. On Thursday the 12th it continued rain ing. and the streets of the town wero very muddy. Tho parade was declared off en tirely. and the formal transfer of tho monu ments to the State was made in the dingy little rink. At 1:43 Governor Beaver appeared and took his place on the stage, closely fol lowed bv Secretary of the Commonwealth Stone. Auditor General McCamant and Attorney General Kirkpatriek. It was was just five minutes after 2 o'clock when Colonel J. P- Nicholson, secretary of the monument commission, walked out before tho audience, and. announcing Lieutenant Colonel George G. Meade, the sou of tho dead commander of tho Army of the Potomac, was seriously ill and would be unable to preside, took tho chair. The Arion Society of Baltimore sang "Tho Star-Spangled Banner." Rev. John R. Paxtou, I). D., late chaplain of the One Hundred and Fortieth Pennsylvania Vol unteers, offered an eloquent and earnest prayer, and the Arion Society saug "Prai.-e the Lord." General J. P. S. Gobin, of Lebanon, late Colonel Forty-seventh Infantry, transferred the monuments iu the name of the com mission to Governor Beaver. Governor Beaver tlion arose, and after tho applause that greeted him had sub sided. accepted tho memorials in behalf of the Commonwealth. He referred to the part taken by the Pennsylvania commands and Generals, making prominent tho fact that Meade, Hancock. Reynolds and Buford wero citizens of the Keystone State. Isaac Pennypacker then read a poem entitled "Gettysburg." Captain Joseph G. Roseugarten. of General Reynolds' staff, related tho story of "Tho First Day s Battle." and General G. H. Bingham was vigorously applauded on his account of "The Second and Third Days." Governor Beaver in a few appropriate words, turned over tho monuments to tho Gettysburg Memorial Association, for whom Hon. Edward McPherson, of Gettys burg. roceived them in an eloquent effort. Rev. David Craft, D. I)., closed the exer cises with prayer. Quite a number of Butler county people were there, though we could not get all their names. Tho names of those we know, are as follows: Col. Redic, and wife; Jno. T. Kelly, and wife; J. S. Campbell. Esq., of Cherry township; Maj. Phipps, H. I*. Patterson, Thos. H. Evans, Major Rusch, Al. Nixon, Wm. Kamercr, J. B. Criswell, Wm. Hazlott, Samuel Miller, Jno. Miller, G. W. Fleegcr, A. G. Williams, J. H. Sutton, S. McCluro, A. G. Meals, R. S. Hindman, Robt. Krouse, R. Nichols, Captain Boggs, Jos. Rockenstein, Johnston, Beidenbach, Levi Porter, Seaton.F. M. Eastman. IT is quite possible that the people of New York have counted much too con fidently on securing the proposed World's Fair for 1892. They have insisted that no other city has the slightest chance, and they have appointed committees aud dis cussed sites with a good deal of enthusiasm. But iu Chicago something more than this has been done. There a headquarters ' has already been established, and subscriptions to a largo amount have been secured. It is stated that Mr. Pullman alone has offer ed SIOO,OOO. and that four other citizens are ready to follow his example. Tho on tbusiatic Mayor of Chicago, who was in New York last week, told a World reporter that his city "will, if the site is given to her, guarantee $8,000,000 in sixty hours after she hears the news." This statement may very possibly be an exaggeration; but it is calculated to dispel the calm confi dence of the Now Yorkers that their rivals are not really ill earnest. "If Chicago has the World's Fair," adds the Mayor, "it won't cost foreign exhibitors a cent for tho tronsportation of their goods from the steamers to our city—not a cent. Chicago'll pay for it!" This boast the World con siders important enough to put with all the emphasis of full-face typo at the beginning of the interview with that official. State Sabbath School Conven tion. The twenty-fifth annual convention of tho Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Association will be held in tho Second Presbyterian Church of Williamsport on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 8, 9 and 10. An excellent programme has been prepared aud tho convention is ex pected to be one of the best, ever held in the State Each county is entitled to elect six delegates, and each city of 10,000 in habitants anil over, six additional. All Christian workers, delegates or not, will bo made welcome, and it is particularly hop ed that such persons may attend from counties in which there are at present no organizations auxiliary to the state and in ternational associations. Delegates desiring entertainment or or ders for excursion tickets should address Mr. Gcorjjp T. Banger, Williamsport, nam ing the railroads over which they will pass. Delegates will report at tho Second Prcs , byteriau church upon their arrival, where they will be received by tho committee on entertainment. WILLIAM S. Boss. Cha'rman Executive Committee. PCTTI.NO aside the consideration that Mr. John L. Sullivan as a candidate for Congress possesses greater commercial value as an adjunct of a traveling show than the same person in tho character of a convicted misdemeanant under sentence to twelve months in jail, there is much to ad mire iu the letter in which the "Champion of the World" announces his candidacy for new honors. As to qualifications for a po sition of honor or public trust, he gives the very essence of the matter in his declara tion that he "has always looked after his ••friends." That has been the secret of the success of all the prominent politicians <>' this State. Mr. Sullivan stands on the same level of statesmanship. Again, he "has always supported the party and always voted for it," and he states an acknowl edged political maxim of this day when he says that lie "deserves the support of the party on that score." But when Mr. Sul livan goes on to boast that ho "will have no trouble about getting a hearing in Con gress or in making people pay attention to what he says," we fear he fails to grasp the situation. A person possessed of tho qual ities of practical statesmanship which he claims docs not need to talk, and indeed gets along better" without it. The last great oratorical effort of Mr. Sullivan re eciveil careful attention from the court to which it was addressed, but if so far failed of effect as to bring down upon the orator the full penalty of the law. TIIKBK must be some real merit in Mr. Wanamaker's postal telegraphic scheme. The Western I'niou is kicking against it. Norvin Green objects that there are only 19.000 telegraph stations and .">9,000 post offices so that that there would have to be a vast increase in the telegraphic offices, most of which would not pay This does not follow any more than that all should have free delivery. Even if the system were confined to these, with messages tie livered only at regular deliveries, tho °on venience would bo grea', with no liability of letters being lost on the way. The ex periment would prove of interest aud prob ably of great value. No doubt it would work ii revolution in the telegraph business so the Western I'nion, which has a good thing uow, may well oppose it. Missionary Meeting. Tho Woman's Missionary Association of Bntler Presbytery (U. i'.) held its tenth annual meeting in Harmony clinrch on September 9. at 1 p.m. The afternoon ses sion was mainly devoted to hearing re ports. At 7 p.m., after devotional exer cises. the greeting was given by Miss (irace Uraham; response by Miss Minnie Downing. Excellent papers were read by Mi-s Bird Courtney and Miss Mary Gra ham. followed by the reading of letter> from I)r. Maria White, of India, and Miss Minnie Redmond, of Chase City Mission. The avjjlience was then instructed and en tertained by Miss Emma Anderson, of the Indian Mission, who, in her always pleas ing manner, told of India's women and what the women of the United Presbyteri an church are doing to alleviate their most deplorable condition. She exhibited the costumes worn by the different classes of natives, and recited portions of scripture in the native language. THE case in which Miss Ada Seaton or Miss Annie Fish, fignred in our court last week, is the most remarkable criminal case that has been tried in this county since the Still wagon-Ward case of ten or twelve years ago. Though part of the girl's story, as regards her whereabouts and actions on the night of July 31st, and morning of August Ist last, have been pos itively proved to be untrue, f.nd though she has been positively identified by her alleged father and brother, and by person.* with whom she lived in Venango Co., as being Annie Fish, she persists that she is Ada Seaton, and gives a detailed account of her life and her family in such a frank and straightforward manner as to raise u doubt as to her true identity, and cause the officers of the law to hesitate as to their duty in tho case now being heard. When found in the woods of Allegheny township on the morning of August 2d last the physicians called in pronounced her to be in a cataleptic fit, aud we are informed by persons who have gone through that ordeal, that upon recovering consciousness their first recollection is of some important or striking event of the past; their memo ry begins there, and all subsequent events np to tho time of the spell are a blank to them; but that if tho mind is uot perma nently affected these intervening events gradually return to their place. There is a mystery about this case that, in tho interest of law, justice and general information, should be cleared up as far as it is in human power to do so. The Game Laws.

A skeleton ■with two bullet holes in the skull has been unearthed under a county roatl at Newbury. Clearfield county. It is supposed to be that of a peddler who mys teriously disappeared in 1857. A man naSied Turner , living in Mercer Co., has, it is said, an old hen which is raising three pheasants, one chick and two blue jays, while four garter snakes crawl under her protecting wings o' night. William J. Fry, a young man of Pitts burgh. «ts sent to jail for five days for drunkenness On the day following his commitment, he was found dead on the floor of his cell. An examination showed several holes over his heart a.:J blood stained black lead pencil on his person. Fry felt a deep sense of shame while im prisoned and urged the jailor not to let his parents know of his disgrace. His sense ol humiliation evidently caused him to take his own life. The editor of the Huntingdon Local Set r* was struck with a peculiarity in an apple handed him by Joseph McCall, of Grafton. A bite taken from one side of the apple was sweet and palatable, while an other taken from the other side of the same fruit was so sour it made his eyelids quiver. Mr. McCall has a tree loaded with fruit of this kind, the peculiarity of which he thinks was caused by grafting. A ten year old son of Lewis Worrell, who lives near Jackson Centre. Mercer county, went up stairs last Friday morning call his four year old brother. He had the family gnn with him and told his brother he would shoot him if he did not get up. He then raised the gun, and the contents were discharged into the little child's bod}', kill ing him instantly. The elder boy is fran tic with grief, and says that he was only in sport. Some eastern counties suffered greatly by the floods this summer. Huntington county has borrowed $70,000 to be used in replacing bridges taken away by the high waters. Wool thieves have been operating with great boldness in some parts of Washing ton county, and some farmers hare lost entire clips. The mode of operation is for a light spring wagon to drive up noiseless ly at night and gather up the wool, which is then spirited off to some distant point and shipped. A new industry in the shape of a skunk cry has been started by Robert Hartman. near Dempscytown, Venango Co. He is raisiug skunks for their skins, which now range at about fl apiece in the market with a prospect of an advance in price in the future, lie began about six months ago with one female, and the stock has now increased to 11. As the animal is noted for its fecundity, the enterprise may prove to be a paying one. If Mr. Hartman would come to the county seat, he might obtain a few fair specimens for his collection, though one of our best skunks lately got away.— Xeics.

A romantic city girl spent several weeks of this summer iu Mercer count}', the guest of a lady friend. She had made sev eral ineffectual efforts to get up a flirtation with the son of a neighbor, lie was not particularly bold, and so one evening, as she swung in a hammock, she coyly asked 'him, -'What is God's best gift to man?" lie pondered a moment, as the rich blood mounted the fair maid's cheeks, and then slowly drawled out "A hoss!" The young lady jumped out of the hammock, said the nights were getting damp, aud that she must go right into the house. At the meeting of the Erie Presbytery at Cambridge last week, Rev. C. B. Wake field, of Greenville, excited considerable interest by an address in favor of revising the Confession of Faith. He said new dis coveries had been made iu science and Biblical history, and the church ought to keep pace with the new thought. The old Confession of Faith suited him personally well enough, but certain articles, especial ly those on predestination aud election, were being contiually misinterpreted, and should be made plain and to accord with their recived interpretation among Presby terians. To accomplish this he would fa vor a revision of the Westminster Confess ion. but that could not be done without dividing the church. Therefore, on prud ential grounds, he favored a new short ad ditional Confession, with Christ as its cen ter. In Brownsville, Schuylkill county, the other day, some senseless young man, iu want of a lark, soaked a lot of corn in whisky and flung it to a flock of geese. An hour later the woman who owned them found them comatose, and believing them dead, picked their feathers off and flung the carcasses down a mine breach. Dur ing the night they slept off their debauch, and next morning were found huddled at the gate iu a naked and prodigal condition. Our citizens are warned to be aware of a picture swindler, who may call upon them some of these days. He bus succeeded iu securing SSO from the innocents of Xew Castle, as the following articcle in the ('ouraiit will show: "About six weeks ago a man visited a number of families iu the Fifth ward solic iting orders for enlarging photographs, lie secured a number of orders. His mode of procedure was to take an order, then get the original photograph, and at the same time secure soma money as a guaran tee that the pictures would be taken when he would come to deliver. The prices ask ed were exceedingly small and many per sons gave him orders. Me promised to be around with the pictures in a week and at the very outside not more than two weeks. Since then not a word has been heard from the man, and the money and the pictures are both gone. It is thought the man se cured about SSO in money, besides a large number of photographs. Many of the peo ple who invested are willing to lose the money, but would like to regain the pic tures." Mrs. Rogers, wife of Rev. E. B. Rogers of Franklin, has brought suit for divorce.
