He intended taking a train as far as Cincinnati, and theu a steam boat to Xew Orleans, from which place a regular line of steam ships runs to Vrogresso, the seaport of Merida. Merida, is the capital of Yucatan, one of the provinces of Mexico, and is a city of about 20,000 inhabitants. John joined hi. father who was practising dentistry there, twelve years ago, and this was his first visit home. He and his father are the on ly dentists in the city and they have been very successful. The prodnction of •■hemp" fibre is what maintains the city. The fibre comes from the Heuequin plant, which grows without cnltivation; the work is done by the natives for a mere trifle, and this enables the land-owners, who are mostly of Spanish descent, to produce a bale of the fibre for about ,"i0 cents, though its market value is about s.'(,.'V». It is ship ped to Europe aud to the I'nited States for rope making. The price of everything excepting what is produced ill tho countrv is high. A barrel of I T . S. flour costs S2O, on account of the $lO tariff put on it by the Mexican government, to encourage the straggling wheat production of Central Mexico. Kutter, oil and other imported ar ticles aro correspondingly high, and thena tivesdo without them entirely, and lire on eoru and the native fruits which are cheap. To make up for tho high cost of living.

John says he aveiagej #lO a day, and has made as high as s.">o in one day. He enjoyed his visit to liutler very much, and regretted that his health, and bnisness, required him to return so soon.

From the Derrick's la-t Monthly oil re port we taks the following regarding But ler Co.—Butler has retro gad ed in product ion. The figures show a new output of only H2B barrels, which is a decrease from last month of 042 barrels. Jefferson Cen tre, that attracted the entire oleaginous world by its phenominal wells, has proven itself evanescent beyond anything yet de veloped in the country of gushe.rs. Start ing off with such a bright and extraordinar ily promising prospect, going up like a meteor until 7,000 barrels daily was added to its record, it has finally snnk into insig nificance with a paltry 400 barrels daily to its credit. The failure of tjie Christie A- Co. No. 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 Ceutre. The greatest activity prevailing iu the county 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 front this week. The laud owners have already reaped a harvest. There arc 23 drilling wells and 4 rigs. In the hun dred-foot the new operations are but 43. of which 33 are drilling. For the Benefit of The High School. The celebrated Madame Fry Concert Co., of Hoston, will appear at the Opera House in Butler next Wednesday evening for the benefit of the Butler High 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. Their repertoire consists of selections from Sehtiman, Ifayden, Thay er, Hisliop 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 and a pressing one, and the people of Butler should see that the Opera House is crowded. The admission will fifty cents—no extra charge for reserved seats. From the Kaciue (Wis.) Daily Times: Those of our citizens who failed to at tend the concert last night, missed a rich treat, aud one that is seldom afforded us. Not that Racine does not have the bust 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. AVe have not had so enjoyable an evening iu a long time, .anil 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. Madame Fry and her three dangh 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 are correct, pleasing sing crs, and musicians of great merit.

A Murder Mystery Some months ago an unknown tramp was murdered in the woods near lieaver Falls. The body was buried, but some day-, after, from information received in an ainaymon* letter, the grave was reopened, when it was found that, it had been previ ously opened and that the head of the dead tramp had been cut off aud taken away. The writer or the anonymous let ter stated that while on his way home one night he had ecu two ineu dc-cerate the grave, wrap the head in a black cloth, throw it into a wagon and drive off. A detective of Rochester, I'a., has been at work on the case and has apparently fastened the crime on two men named Frank llrown aud Cbas. Brady, who were sentenced to two years and seven months and two years and one month in the peni tentiary by Judge McMichael last Septem ber for robbing the store of I. E. Hoggs, in Cranberry township. The men were caught the day after the robbery, along the road, carrying tho goods ill their arms, and promptly plead guilty to the charges. The Pittsburgh Timet of last Friday gave an account of the detective's work, as fol lows: County 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 Hrown and Charles Brady, alias Sum Rromlcy. who were sentenced three weeks ago in the flutler county courts for larceny and re ceiving stolen goods. These men belong to Falls ton, Beaver county, and to them are attributed the many robberies that have ocenrred in the Heaver Valley during the past summer. Detective Lasaius has unearthed the following facts in regard to the oiii-e: Shortly after 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 ou Bromley or Brady, as lie wrote to his mother a few day s later saying he had met with dent by which he lost the use of his lower limbs. This wan one of the clues on which Deteolive Lazarus worked for many days without success. The fact that the mur derer or murderers disappeared without leaving a single trace in their wake, fast ened fiis attention aud almost caused him to despair. The other day Brady dropped a note or letter to liis fellow prisoner and accomplice, Brown, iu the penitentiary, which was in tercepted by one of the keepers and tumed over to Warden "Wright. The wardeu at once sent the letter, which proved to be au admission of the crime of murder, to Laza rus. The letter is ns follows: ' Fred. I see that they have given that murder up. I know that Beaver Falls po lice are no good, nor old Ike The 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 some doctors took it to practice on. Tho other night I dreamed I saw him before me. I jumped very near out of bed. I tried to forget it, but I cannot. It still comes up in my mind. Docs 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. Wo are all right. No body knows it, only yourself, that's all. Good-bye. \ours, "Cn.vs. BK.U»V." Chief Lazarus visited the penitentiary several times during the last few days and succeeded in obtaining a confession from both men. Steps will be taken at oucap to have the prisoners rcmov.vl to Beaver county, where they will be tried for mur der. It is supposed the murderers ct*umitt&l larceny in Butler county for the pu. >osc of receiving short sentences, and upon 'being released at tho expiration of their torms, the more serious crime would be entirely forgotten. Warden Wright, when communicated with last night, said tho facts given above concerning the penitentiary end of the story were eorieet. 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 there Wednes day. The warden would not hazard an opinion as to the guilt of the men. A late telegram from Rochester says that Detective Lazarus is positive that the men are the murderers. He evidently bases this statement on tho confessions made to him. 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 lie a man from McKcesport and was con sidered a trauip. Tho Now Trunk Line. Some time ago it was reported thiit An dy Carnagie was buying P.4W. Kail Pond stock and if that was tho case he was prob ably working with the Vauderbilts, who are said to want a line through Pennsylva nia. A charter has lately boeu granted to the Beach Creek and N. Y. Kail road 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 line of railroad is al cady built along part of it, and the pro posed line to lie built, will connect the Heading Kailroad System with the PAW. lines. The Pittsburg Times of last Tuesday said —The Vauderbilts own the Peach Creek Kailroad, and, while their name does not figure in the new company, they are no doubt back of it. Its importance will be recognized when it is stated that it is th<; last link needed to connect up an other East and West through line from New York to Chicago. The line will be made up as follows, counting from tho East: The Beading Railroad, the Beach Creek, Pittsburg and New York Kailroad, the Pittsburg and Western Kailroad, and the Chicago and Atlantic. The Yander bilt alliances west of Chicago are 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 Kailroad will be built without delay. Pittsburg's interest in the enterprise lies in the fact that the new road will furnish an outlet from Piltt-burg to New York more direct than that of cither the Penn sylvania Kailroad or the Baltimore and Ohio. A Word to tho Butler Ladles. For some months past I have been canvassing for tho 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 the house, and without anx iety, because the faithful whistle will announce the need of water. 1 have left the agency with Miss L. K. Young who will not canvass, but will take orders for the Cooker and procure theiu for any desi-ing tho same. I hope she may receivo the same liberal patronage accorded to me. Mas. L. A.

Regarding the child of J. C. Moyer, of Scottdale, Somerset Co., which wandered away from the house of its parents, uud was subsequently found dead in a swamp, the Scottdale JmU'peudent sav: "There is a suspicion that the little child was taken away and left near the swamp in order to get all parties away from the house in for the purpose of robbery. Mr. Cramer, we understand, is cither township treasurer or collector, and was supposed to have a large amount of mouey m the house, and if all parties left the house it would be au easy matter to ransack it. Some suspicions parties were sceu in the vicinity while tho search was going on, but at no time was the house left without oceupants. The idea is a terrible one to contcmplato, yet when the recent murder in that township (Saltlick, Fayette county,) is called to mind, it looks as if the suspicions were well grounded. Wraps.
