From the JJrrrick's last Monthly Oil re port we taks the following regarding Bnt ler Co.—Butler has ret rorrnded iu product ion. The figures show a new output oi «mly 828 barrels, which is u decrease from last month of 642 barrels. Jefferson Cen tre, that attracted tho entire oleaginous world by its phenominal wells, has proven itself evanescent beyond anything yet de veloped in the country of gashcrs. Start ing off with such a bright and cxtraordinar ily promising prospect, going up like a meteor until 7,0<>0 barrels daily was added to its record, it has finally Mink into insig nificance with a paltry 400 barrels daily to its credit. The failure of the Christie »t Co. No. 3 and and the Campbell A Murphy No. 2, both on the Greenert heirs' farm, and in the direction of the only outlet, seals the doom of Jefferson Centre. The greatest activity prevailing in the connty at pres ent, is at Myoma, where Forst's well, which started at 20 bbls. an hour is down to 90 bbls. a day. The district will be heard from this week.

For the Benefit of The High School. The celebrated Madame Fry Concert Co., of Hoston, will appear at the Opera House iu Butler next Wednesday evening for the benefit of the Butler liigh School, which is badly in need of Chemical and Physical Apparatus The Company is composed of Madame Fry and her three daughters, aud Mr. Wentworth. Tboir repertoiro consists of selections from Schuman, Ifayden, Thay er. Bishop and other of the best musical authors, and both the music and recita tions will be of the highest order. The object is a worthy und a pressing one, and the people of Butler should see that tho Opera Bouse is crowded. The admission will fifty cents—no extra charge for reserved seats. From the Racine (Wis.) Daily Times: Those of our citizens who failed to at tend the concert last night missed a rich treat, and one that is seldom afforded us. Not that Rocino does not have the best of the amusements that are ou the road, but iu this case, Madame Fry's company hap pened to be the best of the best. We have not had so enjoyable an evening in a long time, .and this was the feeling of those present, as was evinced by their rapturous applause and frequent encores. It is one of those rare combinations sometimes seen, that newspaper advertising cannot fully cover. They advertise themselves by their work. Madamo Fry and her three daugh ters, Eugenie, Lulu, and Alta, have a good, friendly, wholesome look. They have good heads and faces, one feels as if they would like to know them, and enjoy their society. From the opening to tho closing they com manded the close attention of their audience. They aro correct, pleasing sing ers, and musicians of great merit. Holiday Appointments.

Pome month* ago an unknown tramp was murdered in the woods near Beaver FalN. The body was bnried, but some dav-i after, from information received in an anonymous letter, the grave was reopened, when it was found that it had been previ ously opened and that the head of the dead trump had been cut oIT aud taken away. The writer of the anonymous let ter -tated that while on his way home one night he hail seen two men desecrate the grave, wrap the head in a black cloth, throw it into a wagon and drive off. A detective of Rochester, Pa.. has been at work '>n the case aud lias apparently fastened the crime on two men named Frank Brow n and Cbas. liradv, who were sentenced to two years aud seven months ainl two years and oue month in the peni tentiary by Judge McMiehael last Septein t>er for robbing the store of 1. E. Hoggs, in Cranberry township. The men were caught the day after the robbery, along the road, carrying the goods in their arms, and promptly plead gnilty to the charges. The Pittsburgh Times of last Friday gave an account of the detective's work, as fol lows: Connty Detective Isaac Lazarus, of Rochester, has been working on the case with the greatest secrecy for some weeks past, and as a result of his efforts has lo cated two men serving sentences in the penitentiary at present as the murderers of the dead tramp. They are Fred Brown and Charles Brady, alias Sam Bromley, who were sentenced three weeks ago in the Hutler county courts for larceny and re ceiving stolen goods. These men belong to KalNton, Beaver county, and to them aro attributed the many robberies that have occurred in the Beaver Valley during the past summer. Detective Lazains bus unearthed the following facts in regard to the case: Shortly alter the murder Elias Brewer, a butcher, living near the head of Block House run, shot at and thought he serious ly wounded a man who had entered his house. Suspicion fastened on Bromley or Brady, as he wrote to his mother a few days later saying he had met with dent by which he lost the use of his lower limbs. This was one of the clues on which Dcteotive Lazarus worked for many days without success. The fact that the mur derer or murderers disappeared without leaviug a single trace in their wake, fast ened Cis attention aud almost caused him to despair. The other day Brady dropped a note or letter to his fellow prisoner and accomplice, Brown, in the penitentiary, which was in tercepted by one of the keepers aud turned over to Warden Wright. Tho warden at once seut the letter, which proved to be uu admission of tho crime of murder, to Laza rus. The letter is «r follows: "Fred, I see that they have given that murder np. I know that Beaver Falls po lice aro no good, nor old Ike. Tho papers say that it remains a deep, dark mystery. It was a good thing that his head was taken off, for they can't identify him; we are all right. They will think that somo doctors took it to practico on. Tho other night I dreamed I saw him before 1110. I jumped very near out of bed. I tried to forget it. but I cannot. It still comes up iu my mind. Does it bother you any? But keep up in good heart and we will be all right. They say that no effort will be made any more. We are all right. No body knows it, only yourself, that's all. Good-bye. ours, "CKAS. BRAHT." Chief Lazarus visited the penitentiary several times during the last few days and succeeded in obtaining a confession from both men. Steps will be takeu at to have the prisoners removed to Beaver county, where they will be tried for mur der. It is supposed the murderers cc-omitted larceny in Butler connty for the pu. >.osc of receiving short sentences, and upon 'being released at tho expiration of their terms, the more serious crime would be entirely forgotten. Warden Wright, when communicated with last night, said tho facta given above concerning the penitentiary end of the story wereeoriect. Brady had dropped the note, and when the warden obtained it he immediately sent it to Lazarus. The lat ter, he says, has been in to see the prison ers several times, and was tlioro Wednes day. The warden would not hazard an opinion as to the guilt of the men. A lale telegram from Rochester says that Detective Lazarus is positive that the men aro the murderers. He eyideutly bases this statement on tho confessions made to hi i. As Brady speaks of the dead man as Spencer, it is now thought that such is the name of the man who was murdered. It was at one time stated that the body was not that of Spencer, who was supposed to be a man from McKcosport and was con sidered a tramp. The New Trunk Line. Some time ago it was reported that An dy Curnagie was buying P.iV. Kail Road stock and if tbat was tho case he was prob ably working with the YanderbilU, who are said to waut a liue through Pennsylva nia. A charter has lately beeu granted to the Beach Creek and N. V. Railroad Co. which proposes building a line from a point in Clinton Co. to a point in Butler Co. Beach Creek runs through Centre and Clin ton Counties and enters the Susquehanna at Lock Haven. A liue of railroad is al- Cftdy built along part of it, and the pro posed line to be built, will connect the Heading Railroad System with the P. AW. lines. The I'ittsbnrg Times of last Tuesday said—The Vunderbilts own the Beach Creek Railroad, and, while their name does not figure in the new compauy, they are no doubt back of it. Its importance will be recognized when it is stated that it is the last link needed to connect up an other East and West through line from >'ew York to Chicago, The line will be made up as follows, counting from the East: The Reading Railroad, the Beach Creek, Pittsburg and New York Railroad, the Pittsburg and Western Railroad, anil the Chicago and Atlantic. Tho Vunder wit alliances west of Chicago uro now such that their existing lines cannot hand le the business for the East created. For this reason it is probable the Beach Creek, Pittsburg and New York Railroad will be built without delay. Pittsburg's interest in the enterprise lies in the fact that the new road will furnish an outlet from Pittsbnrg to Xew York more direct than that of cither the Penn sylvania Railroad or the Baltimore and Ohio. A Word to the Butler Ladles. For some months past I have been canvassing for the Peerless Steam Cooker, but have now remov ed to Mercer. 1 have sold between one and two hundred of these articles to house keepers who are now cooking their entire dinners over one hole in their stoves, without any steam or odors through tho house, and without anx iety, because the faithful whistle will announce the need of water. I have left the agency with Miss Ij. E. Young who will not canvass, but will take orders for the Cooker and procure them for any riesi-ing the same. I hope she may receivo the same liberal patronage accorded to me. Mus. L. A.

E Hcrr sold his house in Petrolia for S7OO and purchased the Howard Thomp son house, on McKean street, for 1*3,700. Andy Bortmas sold his hoiiße oil the flat, Monday, to John F. Lowry. Regarding the child of J. C. Moyer, of Scottdale, Somerset Co., which wandered away from the house of its parents, and was subsequently found dead in a swamp, the Scottdale Independent say: "There is a suspicion that the little child was taken away and left near tho swamp in order to get all parties away from the house in for the purpose of robber}'. Mr. Cramer, we understand, is either township treasurer or collector, and was supj>o*eu to have a large amount of moucy in the house, and if all parties left the house it would be au easy matter to ransack it. Some suspicious parties were seen in the vicinity while the search was going on, but ut no time was the house left without oceupants. The idea is a terrible one to contcmplute, yet when the recent murder in that township (Saltlick, Payette county,) is called to mind, it looks as if the suspicions were well grounded. Wraps.

The stock is three times as large to select from as any other bouse in Butler. SECOND. Each and every custom er is told just what the goods are made of and the same price to every one be they rich or poor. Some stores size the customer up as be eaters their door and nams the price on the boot or shoe accordingly, if you are a judge of boots and shoes you may get even, but the chances are ten to one against yon, of having to pay an extra half dollar on your shoes that the fellow that just went out as you came in got off bis pur chase to even up things (as yon see) they say.
