The Holiday Season. Somk seventy rears ago while travelling in the northern part of England, TV ashing ton Irving, than whom the world has pro duced no prettier writer in prose, spent a Christmas day at the mansion of an Eng lish Squire or landlord, the guest of one of the members of the family. He afterwards incorporated a description of the mansion and grounds.of the evening he spent there, and ..f the doings of the nest day—Christ mi—jn his famous Sketch book, and we this week, re-produce extracts from the tiro sketches "Christmas at Bracebridgc Hall"' and the "Christmas Pinner.'' Nothinc of the kind, excepting in the »au-ions of the few very rich, occurs in this country; hut the same Christmas spir it prevails all over the civilized or Chris tian "World. This holiday commemorate* the an nonneemcnt of the religion of peace and lore. It comes in midwinter when onr thoughts arc more concentrated and onr •ympatbics more aronsed; when heart is drawn to heart and we feel more closely our dependence upon one another. It is the season of regenerated feeling, •f kindly charity, of social gatherings and of heartfelt associations. Therefore let us •11 be ai hoppy as we can next Wednes day. and A MERRT CHRISTMAS TO Tor ALL. A *"aiu-Koram from London snys that an epidemic of influenza is spreading over all Europe. Cos «EF.s* will quit the business of intro ducing bills at the end of this week, and not resume for a week or two. GOVEBXOK Beaver has appointed the fo Uowing Commission to report a general road law: Darid McCargo, Pittsburg; Jacob Bollard. Conneautville; Cyrus Gor don. Clearfield; H. S. Goodwin, South Bethlehem; Samuel H. Downing, West Chester. These will act in conjunction with three Senators and five Representa tives —Senators Harlan, Mylin and Sloan, and Representatives Foight, McCullough, Faulkner, Griffith, and Shillito. End or the Cronin Case. The case of the Commonwealth of Illi nois against the five men accused of the ■order of Dr. Cronin, went to the jury at Chicago, last Friday; and they did not agree till Monday afternoon, when they ntnrned a verdict tinding Coughlin, 0 Sul livan and Burke guilty as indicted and gave them life sentences; Kunze was found guilty of manslaughter, and given three fears in the penitentiary; and Beggs was acquitted. Juror John Culver s obstinate opposition to the infliction of the death penalty saved the lives of the first three. Thus ends a famous case. Dr. Cronin was lured to the suburbs of Chicago, and murdered in a cottage, on the 4th. of May last; his body was found in a newer two week* after; suspicion rested on a secret society there, whose secrets Dr. Cronin was known to possess; a score •f arrests were made and these five men were held: nearly two months were taken np in securing a jury; the crime was fas tened upon the men with the exception of Attorney Beggs. who had issued some mysterious orders and who was seen in CSullivan's company; Burke is the man who is believed to have done the killing, he fled the country and was captured at "Winnipeg. The defence was general, and an attempt to prove alibis, failed. * » THE Eclipse of the Sun which is to take place next Sunday, will be the third solar •clipse for this year. It will be a total •dipse, on a line beginning near the Is land of Uayti and extending across the Atlantic in a south-easterly direction, continuing across Southern Africa, and ending in the India Sea. The U S. ob aervcrs are located near the west coast of Africa. First Work, First. The voters of Pennsylvania with those of three other States, during the past year, have stood up, been counted and found lacking on the temperance question by many thousand voters. Men in majorities are not yet convinced that alcohol is an outlaw that should be outlawed. A great work of popular educa tion on that point remains yet to bo done, It may be hard to believe, but it is never theless true, that there is no short road to the prohibition of the sale ol alcoholic Suors under a government of the people, ey. the people, must first be taught that these liquors as beverages are bad before they will prohibit their traffic. A thorough enforcement of the temper ance education laws of Pennsylvania and these other States in their public schools will slowly, perhaps, but surely and per manently change public sentiment on the question. The sooner we temperance workers realize that this first work must be done first, and therefore address ourselves to ••curing the most thorough and intelligent temperance education of every child in all onr public schools that the law demands, the sooner will our States and Nation be rid of the inenbus of the saloon. MARY 11. HIST. Tons of Terror. Three magazines containing ten tons of ■itro-glycerine. exploded at 3 A. SI. Sun day. one mile and a half from Clarendon. Tankage containing 25,000 bbls. of oil in the vicinity collapsed and the oil was lost. Three derricks were destroyed. All the window, in Clarendon were smashed to atoms, and people stunned und almost frightened to death, but as far as known no ane was hurt. The lo>s is $75,000. No •ause is kuown for the explosion, which was undoubtedly the largest ever known. The magazines were owned, one by John Kuhu, one by McCabe it Co. and the other was the property of the Rock Glycerine Company. AT Purvis, Miss, last Saturday, a jury acquitted Kilrain of prize-fighting, but iound hitu guilty of assualt aud batten', whereupon the Court sentenced him to pay a fiue of £2OO aud costs, and be im prisoned in the county jail for two months. The case was appealed. ON Saturday last. the legislature of South Carolina repealed the Civil Rights Law- passed I'jr the Republicans when in power, and providing for the . A«'C accom modation* for both races. by i-owijnon carriers, hotels, and theatres. The I'hun Xjieakrr. of Orangeburg, the principal negro orgau of the State, hitter |j oppo-rtl the repeal of thin act, and pre dicted that it' it was done and separate accommodation*, provided it would lead to blowJ tlied and serious trouble. Tnu Teachers' Institute. On Monday morning of this week the school tc.i her* of Butler Count) iiasemb led in the court room, were called to order by Co. Snpt. Russell and were led in pray er by Rev. Young. The first business of the Institute was the effecting of an organization. Mr. IT. P. Jamison of Petrolia had been appointed Enrolling Sec'y by the Snpt: Miss Ada Findley. Rec. See'y. and Messrs. E. 1-. McCall". M 11. Young, and Miss Jennie Criswell a Committee on Resolutions. A morion was made and seconded that AY. p. Jamison. AY. E. Caldwell and A. M Pouthett be elected a Finance Com mittee. and no objection being made they were so elected by acclamation. A check from Ex-Co. Sup't Snyder to Prof. Mackey for $143.97. the balance of the receipts of the la«t Institute was accepted by the In stitute. A motion to proceed to the election of a Committee on Permanent Certificates was carried, and Messrs. AY. P. Jamison. J. F. Hntzler. M. 11. Young. A. M. Pouthett and Jennie Criswell were nominated and elected. The fee for each teacher was then fixed at $1.50 each, for membership and evening entertainments The room was crowded that afternoon to hear the address of welcome by James M. Galbreath. Esq. He dwelt upon the reasons and motives for progress in education, the growth made in the me chanics and sciences, and the necessity for education keeping pace with them. It was the most scholarly address of welcome ever made at a Teachers' Institute in But ler. Mr. J. S. Christley of Clay twp. who is now teaching Xo. 1 of Penn twp. made the response, lie thanked the people of Butler for their kind welcome, spoke of the responsibilities of teachers, and of the thorough preparation needed for their work. Then the regular work of the Institute began. and Prof. Leslie of Chicago, led off. He is an instructor in music.and is the most forcible, vigorous and versatile instructor we have ever listened to. He forces the teachers to give him their closest attention and has given them some very good in struction .this week. AYe heard one old music teacher say that he made the trans position of the scale as plain as it could be made. Prof. Leslie is of opinion that the elements of mnsic should be taught in all our public schools. He was followed by Prof. Beers who gave some suggestions in the teaching of reading, speaking and cultivation of the memory. Miss Partridge, of Reading, who made her first appearance as an instructor at Institutes, in Butler some twelve years ago. followed with a talk on the new meth ods of teaching. The other instructors at the Institute are Dr. Schaeffer of Kutztown, Pa., who describes the Mechanical Motions of the earth: Prof. G. C. Little of Washington T). I'., an artist in chalk and the funny man of the Institute, and Dr. Maltby of Millersviile, Pa. who, at this writing has not yet been before the Institute, but who is to talk on Map Drawing, experiments, manual training and the educational value of studies. Dr. Hedley's lecture Tuesday evening, was listened to by a crowded house and was well appreciated. lie is an odd genius who tries to conv'nce people that they should have minds of the own. At the Informal meeting of Wednesday morning, the teachers present discussed the question of salaries, and resolved to form a Teachers' Union in the county. The President of the meeting was instruct ed to appoint a committee who were to meet and formulate a plan for such Cuion, and he appointed Messrs. Wilson, Dyke, Christly, Harper. Jamison and Wise. These informal meetings were held every morning from 8 o'clock to 9, and were pre sided over by Professors Magee, Elliott. Sutton and MeC'ullongh, who, with Messrs Meals, Young and Christloy are said to bo candidates for County Superintendent. At the meeting of Directors, Wednesday afternoon, the old question of school books was discussed, and a resolution was passed instructing each Board to send a delegate to Butler on the day of the election of a Co. fcnp't., to take action in regard to a system of free text books. Then Dr. Shaf fer addressed the meeting, and after that the ornamentation of school buildings aud school grounds was discussed. The music of this Institute excels that of any other held in the county, and taken as a whole, it seems to be on a par with its predecessors. Washington Twp. and Vicinity. Iluuting is all the go now. The banging of guns is heard in every direction. Curt Christy takes a stick about six feet long, instead of a gun, when he goe» out hunt ing and can capture more rabbits than the average young Niuirod with a gun. Francis Billiard killed a beef this week that dressed 653 pounds, and it wasn't an old cow either. The McNaulty & Co. well, on the Adams farm, is finished. There was about thirty feet of sand. They put in a 30-quart shot and it showed some oil, but not enough t« pay for pumping. There is talk of two other wells being drilled in this locality in the near futnre. Sain Christy aiul Abe I'arriekman traded horses a few days ago. If there is a tine horse in the country Sam is not content till ho in the owner.

There are two different companies that do an extensive business. They als > make brick, and of a very good quality. Any person in need of brick or tile would do well to give these lirms a call—Win. M. Glenn years old, was sitting on the (U>or just where the hole was torn out, and strange to say was not shocked in the least. Not being satisfied with tiiu mischief already done, the current ran into the telephone, in the barroom of the Murtincourt ilousc, and burnt till' the wires and nearly scared Frank Haun to death, as he was sitting close by the phono. He says he don't desire a repetition of tho dose. Leaving this,the current ran along the wire towards liatler, anil followed it to the residence <;f Jesse Datter, where the wire, being down, ran it off into tho ground. A man, who saw it. says it looked like a tubl'ul of tire spilled on the ground. The shock caused by the thunder was very heavy and solid, and scared the people somewhat. West Sunbury Items. The social in the Academy, held ou Mon day iii}?ht, Dec. 9, was a success aud every body went home rejoicing that they h;id beeii there. :i number of teachers wended their way through the town on Monday morning |on their way to to attend tho In ' stitutc in that place.

A man in Bradford deserted his wife a:.d two children ami eloped with n colored woman. An Orangeville pot hunter literally "bagged" eight rabbits recently, lie start eii a ferret into one opening of a bur row. and held an open bag at the other and the "cottons" ran into it. Ex-Senator I.ee. of Franklin, recently gave the opinion that "the ship canal be tween Erie and Pittsburg will be con stucted about the time that wooden In dians begin to grow whiskers.'' A hog walked into a saloon in Bingham ton, X. Y.. a few days ago. looked around and (juietly walked out again. The hog had four feet. An exchange says: If a gray haired woman of ">0 in moderately respectable attire is put oil the cars in your town be cause she can't pay her fare any farther: if she almost immediately recievcs a tele gram urging her to come home on the next train because her husband is dying, and if she tearfully and desperately, in a pretty loud voice, announces that she is going to walk home 100 miles, you let her walk. Sho and her confederate, who send the telegram, have worked the dying hus band racket in half a dozen Michigan towns at a net profit, it is figured, of sl3 a day." The late Pr. William Gibson, of James town, Mercer county, was a very pious man and was esteemed as one of the excel lent of the earth. The Lord prospered him in his goings, and before his death the Doctor was enabled to erect a monument in the cemetery that weighed several hun dred tons and cos* over $50,000. It now begins to appear that while (retting every thing in decorous order for his linal de parture. the devoted man overlooked one matter. lie neglected to settle with his hired household help. This little flaw was probably permitted in order that his fel low-men might not esteem him as perfect in this sin smitten world. Two weeks ago one of the Gibson maid servants, Ellen Kane, got a judgment in the Mercer Court for $1,500 against the Doctor ~ estate for services as housekeeper. And last week, in Crawford county, AV ilhelmina Beatty, another and older housekeeper, obtained a verdict for over s£,ooo against the estate for similar services. Oil and Gas Notes.

About a month ago diphtheria appeared in the home of a prominent family. A young domestic was terribly frightened, and decided to go 'to her home in the county, but the attending iau would not permit this, not from fear of spreading disease, but to render assistance to the family. A young child died of the dread diseas c. and this with the horror of the disease, caused the girl to take to her bed, and she apparently died within a few hours, and was at once buried by the au thorities. A few days ago her parents ob tained pcrmi--ii>u to remove the body to the country, and upon opening the ca.- ket they were horrified to discover that the body was lying on its face, the hair wrenched from the head aiui the flesh lit erally torn from the face and hands.

Mr. Samuel Mc < lymonds. in the 66th year of his age. Mr. MeClymonds had been in feeble health for some time and while his death was not. therefore, unexpected, yet it is greatly regretted. He was respected by all and was always recognized as an honest and worthy . iti/en. lie was raised near I'ortersville, Muddycreek Tp.. this county. While vet a young man he came to Butler (about 1830) and was connected for a time with the late William S. Boyd in the mer cantile business. Soon after this he return ed to I'ortersville and was engaged there in store keeping up to the close of the late war. Having a large stock of goods on hand they became depreciated in value by the sudden close of the war, a common re sult then, and this was as unfortunate for him as for many others then engaged in similar business. In 1872 he purchased a lot in Bntler and shortly afterwards re moved here, building and residing in the HOUSE in which he died. In 1878 and in 18*1 Mr. MeClymonds was a candidate at THE Republican primaries for the office of protlnmotnry, but was unsuccessful each . ABOUT the -ame time (1878) he was appointed Clerk to the County Commis sioners. an office he continued to hold for s. vera! years, with credit to himself and to the benefit of the county. After leaving that office his health was such as to pre clude him from engaging in any active business In all the reverses of fortune that may have attended him his good character for integrity WA* never called iu question. On Sunday last his remains were deposited in the U. P. Church portion of the South Cemetery, a church of which all his life he had been a member, and WERE followed to the grave by a large niiui ber of relatives, friends and citizens. The funeral services at the house were conduct ed by Rev. MeKee of the L T . I'. Church, of this "place, whoso discourse on the occasion was appropriate and instructive. lie leaves a widow anil eight children to mourn his loss. The Press (NEW YORK) FOR 1890- DAILY. SUNDAY.
