The tax bill that wa« formulated at their last ses sion was again gone over, and will again be presented to the Legislature at its next session. The Commissioners think that the great defect of our present tax law* is that real estate is made to pay for every thing, while personal property is almost untaxed. An article on the Butler Salt ami Man ufacturing Co, appears in this paper. It will be noticed that one of its departments U for the utilization of waste timber by dis tillation. Iu connection with this the val ue of a c-ord of distilled wood may be of in terest to our readers. According to the Xew York Lumber Trailr Journal the pro ducts and value of a cord oi distilled wood are as follows:—ft gallons of wood alcohol worth 0.1 cents per gallon; acetate of lime, 6-VI pounds, 2$ cents a pound; tar, acid, etc., worth *4 per cord —making a cord of disstilled wood, without the char coal, worth at least f2O. —The boiler of the W. & A.

Fulton's place. The fire box weighed 2 tons and was thrown 200 yards down the creek. Nobody hap pened to be in the boiler house at the time; but Joe Golden, the agent, Joe Blair, the guager, and Mark Jordan, a driller, were in the pump house, forty feet distant and not injured, although the pump house was badly damaged by a pump crashing through its side. That nobody was injur ed in considered remarkable. —Some months ago all the property owners along Main street whose Hide walks are defective were notified by the Town Council to repair them. lint few,however, paid any attention to these notices; one or two new walks were laid,and a few trifling repairs were made, and the sidewalks of Main street, remain to-day a disgrace to the town and an inconvenience and danger to pedestrians. Another winter is ap proaching and we will soon again be plout ing through little lakes of water and slush after every rain and suott fall, unless these walks are repaired. Come, gentlemen, signalize yourself by repairing your walks, and keeping up with the increase of im provement and decrease of profanity. —State street in sharon is beiug paved with brick. The Hmihl of that town de scribes the operation as follows: "Rapid progress Is beiug made, au average of one hundred feet a day having been made. The brick are laid sideways on edge and the rapid way in which they are put iu place by the three or four deft lingered workmen is interesting, and "from early mora till dewy eve" the operations are watched by a knot of sight seers. The street has a gradual slope Irom the center to the curb ing, sufficient to assure proper drainage, and water will flow oil the street alongside the curbing. After the bricks are laid a ponderous roller, drawn by four horses, passes over them and presses them (irmly down in the bed of sand on which they are laid. Boiling paving cement, from a huge cauldron standing near,is then poured over the brick, filling the interstices ami holes, and sheeting the brick. Sand is mixed with it as it is poured, to give it additional consistency and durability. A test coat ing of pitch was put on u small space near the Lake Shore station on Wednesday, but it was not satisfactory, anil it* ingredients will be changed or new material secured. Church Notes.

B r2 Another Mystery Sees the Light of Day. • For some weeks past persons driving out the Millerstown road have wondered what was the purpo.se of that bunch of buildings j just this side of the Earns crossing. The buildings are located near the Water Works, on the narrow strip of ground be- i tween the S. 4 A. R. R and the Rtv. 1 White property, and have gradually as sumed such proportions a« to excite a gen eral curiosity, which the projectors have not seen fit to allay. However, the enterprise haft now so far advanced that the principal man iu it has yielded to the oft repeated request of the new-paper man for information, and has unbo-oiiied himself as follows: The style of the firm is The Butler Salt aud Manufacturing Co., the capital is £4oo.(ssi —s.Vi,ooo of which is held by Pitt-burg ami tbe rest by Butler parties—and the purpose of the plant is the manufacture of all those chemicals that can bo obtained from wood, the salt-water of the two wells, and from coal The origin or history of the plant is about as follows: Mr. Joseph Brittain, Jr.. has for some years been engaged in cutting railroad ties in this county. He has done a large business, often averaging a thous and ties a day for several consecutive Weeks, and he always regretted the im mense waste of wood, in lops, slabs and dust. I.'pon inquiry he learned that some of the most valuable chemicals, such as acetic acid, which is used in making white lead; wood-alcohol, creosote and other things were made from wood, and upon inquiry of tbe consumers of these articles, learned that a supply of muriatic acid was neces sary for tbe production ol the quality that suited them. Then he learned that muriatic acid came from salt-water, and after hav ing the salt-water from the wells on the George Reiber place analyzed and found to be rich in the acid, and also iu bromine, he purchased three acres of ground, contain ing one of the wells, and leased the other. Further investigation showed him that the products of coal could be used to advantage in connection with the products of wood aud salt-water, and so it will be seen that the plan of a complete chemical works was gradually fixed in his mind —all originating from his desire to make some use of the wasted tree tops. The plan being completed after two years of study, the next thing was to raise the money. Some Pittsburg men who have money aud who know the manufacture of chem icals is, next after the manufacture of fancy bronzes, the most profitable in tbe world, offered to furnish the money necessary to start the thing if he would sell them five eighths of the stock 1. <•. a controlling interest, but Joe remembered the fate of other inventors and projectors who had trusted capitalists and didn't propose get ting into that kind of a hole, and after a canvass of the moneyed men of Butler aud i'ittsburg secured enough to help him start the enterprise wilhout relinquishing its control. Work was begun on the Ist of May last, and since that time the company has used half a million feet of lumber, 300,000 brick, 350,000 shingles and hundreds of perches ol stone. Their expenses for labor have averaged SIOO a day, and their plant is yet not near completed. Light large buildings aud several small ones are up, but the muriatic acid tower, which is to be of vitrified clay, 80 feet high and enclosed in an oak frame 10 feet square; the large boiler bouse, the engine house, the lime house ami one large ware room ure not yet built. The plant, as it stands to-day, beginning at the salt well which produces 2,900 bar rels a day, is as follows: Hrick boiler house, containing five boilers; brick build ing with large metal evaporating pan and brick stack, with settling tanks adjoining; salt house, for manufacturing and storing salt, a frame building, 44xH4 feel —the Co. proposes making only line table salt; bro mine house, 40x50, —bromine is a drug and disinfectant, is worth K0 cents a pound wholesale, and the water of these two wells is very rich in it; frame building, 44x100, for manufacturing carbonate of soda, which is used in making plate glass; frame build ing, 44x100, for the dry distillate machine —this machine is Mr. Hrittaiu's own inven tion, was made by a firm in Wilmington, Del., and is now in successful operation there, and with it he will distill the waste wood, and produce charcoal, wood alcohol, actute of lime, acetic acid and creosote. Creosote is the poisonous quality of wood and is used for preserving wood. Is it not strange that in almost everything there is both a sugar and a poison; and by the way this establishment will give every bit of waste wood within market distance of Hut ler a certain value, 11 fact that our farmer friends should remember. Auothcr building, 44x100, is to be used iu refining the crude products of the build ing just mentioned, ami still another large frame building below this aud next to the railroad switch, will be the wareroom. The Co. has already built a substantial railroad switch into their grounds. The buildings not yet erected are a large ware house just below the bromine house, the boiler house for ten boilers, which will be of brick and stand nearest the road, and tbe engine house and machine shop, which will be located just below it. Hesidcs these, tankage for 7,000 barrels of water is being built on the hillside, 011 ground leased from ltev. While, and tank age for 1,000 barrels across the road ou property leased from Rev. Li in berg. The Co. will also di (till coal, use the gas for running the distillate machine, sell the coke, mid manafacture coal tar, carbolic acid ami sulphate of ammonia. Every part of the plant is intended to work to the ad vantage of the other parts, and the whole thing is to be a second edition of the Salt or Soda Works at Natrona, which is said to be one of the most profitable establish mcuts 011 Karlh, and which is as great a mystery to the outside world as are the symbols of chemistry, one of which we place at the head of this article. If this thing is a success it will employ fifty skilled men, besides others who need not be so, aud the value of its productions for a day of 24 hours is estimated at $1,500, which will make it rank next only after the Standard Plate Glass Works iu the list of the industries of th«» County. It will iu crease the market for wood and coal, and likely many other things here. As far as wood is concerned Joe says they will use everything about a tree, excepting the buz* of tbe saw that cut it to piecet.. As to the success of so novel au enter prise we must look at the standing of tbe iiieii here or known here, who are putting their money into it—men like tbe Brittain* and others, whose names we are not at lib erty to use al present, do not invest their money without first making thorough in vesication They are solid business men, liot given to rash ventures, and from their character aud standing it must bo con eluded that they know what they are doing ami that the plant ol the Butler Salt Man ufacturing Co. will not only bo profitable, but will also be one of the permanent in stitutions of the town. l>r.

We have been telling yon all Rummer how we began the bnggv business nine years ago, and now probably yon wonld like to know how we are succeeding. We will tell yon. First we like to tell it I" cause it did so mnch for our fellow citi zens. and second, because it lias placed us in the foremost rank among the large dealers in this great State of ours. We believe we have the largest wholesale trade, and are confident we have the lar gest retail trade also. To give you an idea, our Mr. Lieghncr has just returned from N. V. State, wlu-re lie contracted to have twenty-five thousand dollars worth of one kind of carts made; this we believe is the largest deal of the kind ever made in the State. Just think ol it, .f25.u00 worth of one kinil of road carts, and then think of the many other kinds we are handling. Yon would naturally ask, "Where do they go?" We could not tell you here, the freight agents at the different depots could give you some idea, but they go. One thing you may be certain 01, that it's not buying ilear and selling A<«//i that makes theui go. Then think of the number of Ilnggies, Wagons. Harness. Ac., that we sell; it would seare you to tell yon the amount we have sold since last January. Von ask again, how does it come. Can't others buy for cash too and sell just as cheap as you do? We answer: We use our own capital: we pay 110 rent; we have not bought a bill in 0 years, that we did dis count. Von see we make this a business exclusively and are laige dealers, the ad vantage yon will understand in an instant when we tell you. According to agree ment among carriage manufacturers the price is uniform on same grades of work, but purchasers of 50 jobs or more fret a dis count of 3 per cent; purchasers of 100 jobs or more get a dis connt of 5 per cent, and purchasers of 300 jobs or more get a dis count of 10 per cent, which is the largest discount allowed any dealer, anil as we buy more than 300 you see we can sell you work at the same price small dealers pay, and still have a profit of 10 per cent. Now fellow citizens we are perfectly willing 10 give you the benefit of our advantage in the market, for it is your patronage that helps us. and it is only right that while you .-tand with us we should not betray your confidence, and we won't. Kemcmber we are here all the time, our word is as good as gold. You know what you are getting every time we tell you plainly. We have all kinds, the cheapest and the very best, so can just suit you: we don't try to get rich oil' one customer. We never mis represent. Call and sec 11s, whether you want to buy or not.
