—The Pittsburg Comiucrcuil-Gazette is
one of the best daily papers published in
tho country, as you can easily prove to
your satisfaction by comparing it with the
dailies of Philadelphia, New York or any'
other city. It gives all the general news
of interest, its market reports are unequal
led, and its "Quiet Observer" column is
peculiar to itself. Tho people of Butler
are proud of the tla;rtte, and of tho suc
cess of its proprietors, the Beed brothers.
—The sensible custom, which prevails so
extensively iu the eastern part of this
State, of advertising public sales in the
columns of the newspapers in the same vi
cinity, is each year becoming more com
mon in this county, but is not yet as gen
eral as it should be. In no other way can
farmers and others having sales give such
wide publicity of the fact for the same ex
penditure of money as through the col
umns of the local papers. It does not
cost much and is well worth the trial.
—This, Thursday, evening is All-Hal
loween, the eve of All-Saints day, which
is consecrated to the memory of martyrs
and champions of the truth, but the boys
generally improve the recurrence of tho
evening by trying to make martyrs of
everybody, though the mischief done to
day i* nothing compared with that done
twenty-live years ago. The intelligent (f)
girl, also, will, this evening, step down
the dark cellar stair backward with her
hand-glass, looking for the features of her
future husband to be reflected ill a mystic
gleam of light. It is a harmless amuse
ment, aud when the stars beam down on
a clear and frosty Halloween, it is pleas
ant to court the fanciful customs that ex
isted when garrets were haunted with hob
goblins, and elves, the groves with were
wolves, and when ghosts, spectres and
vampires followed the triple Hecate's
flight.

An Accident and its Lesson.
On Thursday morning of last week,
while Mr-<. Walter Ziegler. of E. Pearl St.,
was in her yard, lier little lioy, aged 2 or 3
year- I .placed his foot on the prate, in which
the gas was burning low, so that he could
tie his garter. A tongne of flame reached
his clothing, wlich mostly of cotton,
and in a moment it was in flames. A
little sister of the boy grabbad him by the
hand anil pulled him towards the door, and
Mrs. Ziegler met the children and hastily
extinguished the tlames, but the boy was
badly burned about the hips and neck and
for a while it was feared that ho had
breathed the flames—a thing that is always
fatal. His little sister's action in pulling
him away and thus throwing the flames in
another direction, and the pmmpt action
of the mother saved his life; but there is a
lesson in this and similar accidents occur
ring daily in the gas region, of which all
persons nsing gas for fuel should take heed,
and that is the dispensing with fenders
places the lives of your children in con
stant danger.
There are very few people in Hutler who
did not do away with their fenders when
they put gas in the house; and there stand
the #pen grate fires, always ready to set
Cre to the cotton aprons worn by all chil
dren—aprons that burn in a moment, right
up under the children's chins, and a whiff
from the flames of which issure death. So
put back your fenders, the higher the
better, and if your children must wear
cotton aprons and cotton underclothing,
make them an fire proof as possible by put
ting salt or alnm, or both, in the last rinse
water. This won't hurt the fibre in the
least, and it will make the goods burn
slowly, if accidentally set on lire.
Burglars Around.
An attempt was made to burglarize the
safe of the new feed store on Jefferson St.,
last Thursday night, but Policeman Henno
discovered the midnight mechanics at
their work and put them to flight. They
entered the building by forcing open the
front door, and blew open the safe, and
were scared away immediately after.
On Saturday night the safe of the P. A
W. station here was blown opou, but the
burglars secured hut a little small change
for their trouble.
The store of Jas. Morgan in Parker twp.
was robbed last Monday morning, of goods
worth fifty dollars.
The Buffalo Mill near Freeport was en
teicd on Tuesday night of last week; and
an effort was made to blow open the safe
of the West Penn station at Freeport Sat
urday night.
Burglaries have lutely been committed
in nearly every town within fifty miles of
Hutler.
A clothing store at Parker was burglar
ized Tuesday night.
Public Sales.
On Thursday, the 7th inst., Mr. T. 0.
Craig will have a sale of personal property,
stock, farming implements, grain, hay etc.
on his farm in Oakland Twp., three miles

ael Stepp of Middlesex Twp., will have a
public sale of fifteen head of Percheron and
Clyde horses, twenty head of Holstcin and
Short-Horn cattle, ninctoen head of Poland
China pigs, and some farming implements.
Mr. Stepp is one of the most extensive
stock raisers in the conuty, and this sale
will attract considerable attention.
Leases.
W. C.Findley Esq. leased 100 acres of
Samuel Park's farm in Adams Twp. last
week, also parts of several other farms in
that vicinity.
C.F. L.McQuiston leased a part of Mrs.
Marshall's farm iu Connoquencssing Twp.
Mr. Jas. S. Hays is leasing iu T'nionvillc

es putting down some test wells there^
—lt was rumored on our streets yester
day, that H. W. Christie had sold his in
terests in the hundred-foot territory ior
$200,001).
Cross Eyes Straightened.
Dr. Simpson,the oculist and auriat,
straightens cross eyes at once and
without pain or risk and as they are
detrimental to both appearance and
vision, no one should neglect to have
them corrected. Consult Dr. Simp
son at the Lowry House on . next
Tuesday, Nov. sth. He has operated
upon scores of cases without failure
and can assure success. Now is the
opportunity for those who have cross
eyes to have th em corrected at a rea
sonable cost.

LEGAL NEWS.
XOTKS.
The Supreme Court, sitting in Pittsburg,
Monday, handed down decisions in three
liijuor cases, arising under the Brooks
liquor law. one from Jefferson Co., one
from Somerset Co. and one from Butler
Co., in each of which tho lower courts were
sustained. The tir.-t case was that of a di>
tiller who applied for a mandamus on the
Conrt to grant him a license: the second
was that of three men convicted of illegal
liquor selling after taking out a County
Treasurer's license, and the third was the
appeal of James Sellers, of this county,
from the judgment and sentence of the
Quarter Serious here At Sept. T.. ISB7. on
grounds of the unconstitutionality of the
act, defective title, etc. The Court in its
opinion holds that the act is sound and
constitutional, that the title is a true index
to its contents, and that as the license was
granted in April, 1887, prior to the passage
of the Brooks law, sentence should not
have been passed according to the pro
visions of that act The J ustiee said the
object was to leave intact the laws enacted
prior to the adoption of the present Consti
tution, and when the defendant accepted
his license he did so subject to the laws
then in force, or that might thereafter be
passed. The Commonwealth does not in
tend to barter aw»v the right to legislate
on the subject of intoxicating liquor. Error
in the trial was not shown and the judg
ment of the lower t'ourt i- allirmed and
record remitted. Xo other Butler county
cases have vet been decided.
The Supreme Court ha-* refused to inter
fere in the case of Zach. Taylor, of
Greene Co., sentenced to be hanged for the
murder of the drover McCausland, and who
appealed on the ground that one of the
jurors was incompetent for the reason that
he made the remark, "We will hang the
whole gang of them." and also that some
of the jurymen had read the accounts of
the murder. The Chief Justice says: ""We
have repeatedly held that the test of the
competency of a juror in a capital case is
hi° ability to render a verdict upon the
evidence alone, uuinfluonced by any
opinion he may have previously formed
from newspaper or other reports of the
crime."
In the l". S. Court, last Friday, the sen
tence of R. 0. Day, convicted of counter
feiting, was again suspended; and young
Texter, convicted of opening letters, was
sentenced to one year in the county jail.
At Pittsburg, last Saturday. Judge
White sentenced two j-onng men, one to
six years and the other to three years in
the penitentiary, for enticing a 15-year-old
girl to the city "for immoral purposes. One
of the men sentenced was a merchant of
Scottdale.
A novel point came up in the criminal
court of Delaware county, Wednesday, in
volving the construction of the Brooks high
license law, a yeung man in Chester being
indicted for giving liquor to a minor. The
Brooks bill fixes a penalty for giving liquor
to a minor, "with or without a license."
The court held the party was not liable to
indictment, as the title of the act was "to
regulate and restrain the sale of liquors,
etc.," and that it only applies to persons
who are in the business of selling liquors,
who give to minors. The case was taken
front the jury by the judge and the defen
dant acquitted.

No. 3.
We told you in the early spring liow we
had begnn nnd carried on our l>ui~ne« for
nine years; al*o why we liad hx-ated at But
ler. And lastly, we told you of onr success
in business. Now we are poinjr to tell you
something that will be especially interest
ing to you if you want a vehicle of any kind
or a set of good harness for a very low
]>rice. The winter is approaching and we
are selling lots of work., yet we liud that
unless we sell at least one hundred buggies
spring wagons, buckwagons. 4c., during
the next month, we will not have room
enough for our large stock of sleighs, <tc.,
that we have coming on. and will have to
let something .stand out in the weather.
This wont do. It would damage the work
and cause us great loss as well as annoy
ance. Therefore we have decided to stand
the loss bv giving it to onr fellow-citizens
instead of the weather. Now listen: dont
misunderstand us; we mean it; we never
lie if we know it; listen carefully: From
now until November 15 we will "sell any
thing we have in the buggy, spring wagon
buckwagon, and harness line at prices away
below what either we or anyone else can
afford. We don't like to do this, but its
"Hopkins choice" with us—either sell them
cheap or let them stand out in the storm.
We prefer to do what will most benefit our
fellow-citizens, for we are going to stay
here, and whatever helps our fellow-men
will in the end help us. Now don.t forget.
This is only for the next 30 days—till No
vember 15—for to make such prices any
longer would mean bankruptcy in sis
months, we have always sold cheaper
than anyone else, but the prices we are
making now almost make us sick. But
come along. Keep us company, whether
yon want to buy or not. We don't want
any time to think ov«r our losses. Its got
to be done, and we go to this trouble and
expense to give all a fair chance without
any distinction on account of race, color or
creed. We have every kind of work from
the cheapest to the very best. Come and
see. We have over is,ooo square feet of
floor packed solid with all kinds of work.
Come along and get the bargains, for we
wonld rather give it to yon than run the
work out in the weather. It's one way or
the other. Take vour choice. We liave
everything in the Cart, Barness, Robe and
Blanket line.
