R. —Mr. William Ralston of Prospect was in Butler last Monday, lie is proud of his new mill which is fitted up with the roller process, and he is making a buckwheat flour that he guarantees to givo complcto satisfaction. —The Pittsburg Times made all of its newsboys happy on Christmas by present ing each on* with a suit of clothes. It takes about a hundred newsboys to handle its oity editions and the gift was no small affair. The Times takes a leading part in all reforms and is steady and reliable. Is it toy wonder then that it has the largest circulation in Pittsburg? Mr. Wm. Biehl has built a new liv ery stable on Mifflin St. one square west of its junction with Main St. and is now pre pared to accommodate the public in his line of business, lie has good, safe horses, new baggies and carriages, and landaus for special occasions. His stable is a comfort able and convenient ono, and all orders sent throuch Telephone No. 24, will be promptly attended to. Mr. Morrisou, tho baker, has rented White place iu the valley northwest of town, and is building a dam across the run —called Martin run by tho boys—for the purpose of securing spring water ice. The safest dam that can be built across a rocky valley—one where the ends of tho dam will rest on solid rock —is a semi circular dam of cut stone. - Such a dam, properly built, cannot be destroyod b_, water. They are in use west of the Rocky Mountains, end at ono place in Arizona there is one 410 feet across and 110 feet high. Tho dam is simply a curved stone wall. TO WORK AG AIX. ; Yule is come, and Tale is gone. And we have feasted well : So Jack must to his flail again, And Jennie to her wheel. —The handsomest new. paper souvenir that we have received this year was that of the Detroit Frer I'n .«, and it will lie ent free to all subscribers of that paper.

The subscription price is one dollar a year but we can club it with the CfTIZK.v at a ledneed rat.-. —Some of the strong men of this conn try have challenged the strong men of Europe to come over here and compete with them, and the Europeans are coming. The btrongest man 011 this continent is said to be a Canadian named Louis St. Cyr, who stands .1 feet lof, weighs 320, and has repeatedly lifted a dead Weight of over two tons. —James Powell, of Penu township, met with a severe accident on Christmas day. just as he was starting on a hunt. He was standing at the corner of the house talking to some neighbors, and had rested the muzzle of his gun 011 the toe of his right foot, when ho accidentally touched the trigger and the gun exploded, blowing oil' the second toe, and cutting the other.-. It was a very painful wound. —On the arrival of the P. A W. train from Butler Monduy morning the remains of Mrs. Margaret Ross, a former resident of this city, were taken for interment to Greenwood cemetery. Mrs. Ro -. recently lived at Allegheny, but it was during a visit at Martinsburg, Butler Co., that she died Saturday. The deceased was 83 years old. She was a relative of the Xewell family, of this city.—Xcw Castle Macs. —Xow is the time to tie together the limbs of those trees, both fruit and orna mental, that have made a long spreading growth, and whose limbs fork out. By tying al the limbs together about a foot up from where they leave tho trunk, they are prevented from breaking or splitting down with the snows and ice storms of winter, as well as by strong winds. Use a stout, soft string, and it will not cut into or chafe the tree. —The year 1880 has passed into history. Tho first sensation of tho year was the Samoan affair, then came tho White Cap outrage*, then the Soldiers' Orphan School Epcdimics; Harrison's in auguration (March 4); the Washington Centennial; tho Cronin murder; tho Okla homa riots; the Johnstown disaster (May 31); the Prohibition election (June 18); the Brown-Scquard elixir fizzle; tho Gettys burg meeting; Brazil proclaimed a Repub lic, and lastly the influenza and a green Christmas. —"Don't worry, and don't cross the bridge until yon come to it." This is good advico and the man who follows it will be a sunshiny sort of fellow, with a cheery way about him that must have its effect and influence on all with whom he asso ciates. But, says one, it is easy to talk. To not worry is almost an impossibility, and "trifles light as nir" often cause the most worry. But nevertheless don't wor ry. It does no good, does not help mat ters in the least. Tako things as they como, which you will be compelled to do anyhow, whether you worry or not. Read tho CITIZKW and be happy. —The Gerthude Happ, of the Eeonomite Society, who died a few days ago, was the only daughter of George Rapp, the founder of the society. Geo. Rapp's only sou died at Harmony many years ago. After the Economites left Harmony they spent sever al years in Indiana before locating 011 the banks of tho Ohio. When tliey left Har mony they sold all their property iu that vicinity to old Mr. JCeigler, who afterwards rued his bargain and wanted them to take tho land back; but they advised him to di vide it into small farms and put tenants on each piece who would keep sheep, and he would get through; and he did so and came out all right. —Mrs. Sadie Ann McGinty, the relict of the late lamented Dan McGinty, says she is fully convinced that her missing spouse is not at tho "bottom of tho say," where popular belief locates him, lint she feels sure that he has gone across the water with some fair charmer. Mrs. McGinty is a woman of energy and ingenuity, and she docs not propose to allow the recreant Dan to escape HO easily by his submarine subterfuge, so she lias planned to follow him even to the uttermost part* of the earth. She will not bring bim back if she shall find him, but she proposes to give hiui a piece of her mind and a touch of her vigorous hand that will make his best suit of clothes look worso than tho tatter ed raiment that he cast aside when he dressed himself in bis Sunday best before ho went away. —lt is a curious fact, says the Medical i Record, that tho influenza prevailed in America 0110 hundred years ago, and Dr. John Warreu, in u letter to Dr. Lcttsom, says that "our beloved President Wash ington is but now recovering from a severe and dangerous attack of it." In 1830 an epidemic started in China, it reached Ras sia in January, 1831, and by May it hud spread to western Europe; but it only reached this country in January, 1832, and then prevailed but slightly. Another and moro severe epidemic started in Russia in December, 18.30; within a month it appeared in London, and rapidly spread over Eu rope. This time, again, America w.»s not affected. An epidemic of considerable ex tent prevailed in tho Fnited States about ten years ago, and there have been various mild manifestations of tho disease. On tho whole, however, Xorth America does not seem to bo very favorable to tho de velopment of epidemic influenza in its worst forms, and it is unlikely that we shall liavo a severe visitation. Tho dis ease is not dangerous, except sometimes to children or the aged, while tho former often show a decided exemption. Tho dis ease is undoubtedly do to some microor ganism which flouts iu the nir, and which infects the human system, but it is gener ally killed iu so doing. For influenza is but slightly if at allTcontagious. Wo ob serve that some fooling of alarm prevails lest this epidemic be a precursor to cholera as was the case in 1831 and 1847. There have been, however, plenty of cholera epi demics without a preceding influenza, and a great many influenza epidemics without any associate cholera. The micro-organ isms of the two diseases lire as essentially different as are the diseases themselves. Tho cholera germ lives in water and soil, the influenza germ iu the nir. New Lumber Yard. Six months ago Messrs I*. S. Nit-bolls and L. M. Hewitt, under the firm name R. S. Nicholls.t Co.,established a lumber und coal yard near the WeA Penu depot. They started out with a good stock of every thing, their prices were low,and they have succeeded beyond their brightest expecta tions. They keep rough and planed lum ber, doors, sash, blinds, shingles, lath and everything in wood that goes to make up a house, und have made a specialty of ship ping and delivering to the neighboring country. They ulso built coal «!icii.- ,nd keep the best of hard aud soft coal, which they de liver on order. Both gentlemen are old railroad men and are thoroughly eon vorsant on freight rates, which enable them to buy to the best advantage aud ■-ell at tho lowest possiblo figures. The next time you need some rough or manufactur ed lumber, or bard or -soft coal, they will be pleased to show you their go,.ds and quote you prices. Oil Field Notes. Phillips Xo. 1. on the Wagner farin, reached the .-and last week, and is a pa- -er. lie i- drilling two lanreon the Xegley, and one each on the Byerly, Barn heir*, Benn ■ wits and Wolfe. A telephone wire is being run to the field. Golden, MeCluug .L Co. intend drilling iu Worth Twp. and have 1,000 acres leased. The Christie Bros, are also leasing in that Twp. and in l'laiugrove Twp. Lntehaw A Co. have a rig np 011 the Mr-'. Mitchell place, a mile X. E. of Harmony. Frederick .t Co. are drilling on Hie Jacob Endre- farm, .oath of Zelienople. It is reported that the crowd that own the Wilson farm well and adjoining leases have been offered $40,000 to step out. McClnng A ('■>. on the K. W. Xesbit, formerly owed by B. M. Duncan, reached the sand Saturday and began spraying oil. The showing is good. It was reported in onr streets. Monday, that the Artcr's well 011 the lieriuger farm in Centre twp. was flowing. Some of our people went .mt ;:nd found that they had some oil there, and that the driller.: were moving the boiler. All abandoned \ffld-eat well on the John Kennedy farm in Adams twp. began flow ing last week. 1 »r. W. J. Kelly formerly of Parker twp.. John Bracken of Greenville and Judge Stewart of Paintsville, Ky. have some val uable interests in heavy-oil field of John son, Magoflin and Morgan counties in ca.-t --ern Kentucky. They have several hun dred acres leased, and have two wells down and doing 10 barrels each of oil that sells readily at $lO a barrel. Mr. Kelly speaks of the country there as being very rich in mimcrals and lumber. TheJuffOil Co. 011 the Loyal Welsh reached the sand last week, and began pumping Wednssday. The well on J. S. Hay's farm, and ad joining the Cable to tho East, reached the sand Tuesday and is looking good. At Glade Rnn —Phillips Xo. 2 well on the Irwin is put at 10 bbls, and his Xo. 3 on the Emory is pumping 7.") bbls. On Saturday last Taylor A Co. were of fered $50,000 for their property on the Cable farm, and refused it. I'hillips' well on the Loguo, south of Coylesville, made two flows Saturday; and he completed a fifteen bbl. well on '.he Wagner, Great Bell Field, same day. During December sixty-three wells wore completed in Butler Co., and the produc tion of the whole Oil field as compared with that of November showed a decrease of fifteen-hundred bbls. There arc 132 well; drilling in the county and 84 new rigs are up. Speaking of the outlook the Derrick of Wednesday says: The new year of the great petroleum in dustry begins under the most auspicious circumstances, and never iu its history, all things concerned, has the outlook been no brilliant and glorious. There is 110 th ing in the situation but encouragement for the producer, and from one end of the whole circle of oildom to the other bullish features predominate. Nothing of a mark ed character has transpired in any section of the field, by way of new developments. The gushers o prominent iu the begin ning of last month are now conspicuous for their absence. Treacherous Bakers town oli the first of December came to the front with a big well, but all subsequent events in this locality have not maintain ed the reputation of the geyser indicated. The Southwest has mainly borne out this state affairs and the waning tendency of this exalted section is now viewed with grave apprehension by the producer. Mount Morris has not added one. tithe to her prospective greatness, but on the con trary has rather detracted from her repu tation. Washington and 'faylorstown still con tinue to decrease in production and many of the wells have fallen off to such an ex tent that abandonment is seriously con sidered by the owners. Tho fifth sand de velopment seems the only hope of rejuve nation so to speak, and generally speaking this horizon has proved as treacherous as the other sand of] this locality. .\ month ago Shaunopin gave promise of big things, but here, as elsewhere, large production failed to materialize. However, it must be admitted that the digging in this part of Beaver county is from fair to middling, which, under the bullish situation, has inspired the large amount of new work here. Butler county's pretentions lie iu the hundred foot territory, which has been slightly extended und in tho main is pro lific in this horizon. Southwest Brush Creek, especially in tho section of Duff City, is in the soup, if tho recent develop ments are any criterion. The Crafton field lias by no means met the expectations of its most sanguine ad herents, while West Virginia is still a cost ly conundrum. Venango and Clarion in common with the other districts, show a dropping off. The Northern and Middle fields are also iu the same category. The figures show a decrease of about 1,500 bar rels of production, while the new work also falls oil.

Etui of the Kelly Matter, , Since Saturday morning the connty ha had but two Commi- doner . a on that day Mr. Kelly banded bis written resignation to his a ociate ■. Then he gave tliein a ■ talking to, accusing thein of . tting a trap for him, and telling Mr. Hutchinson that as a minister of the gospel he had not done liis duty towards him, anil Mr. Dili: .111 that he had not done h!.- duty towards him as a,fellow church member: which, consid ering Mr. Kelly's pretensions und the trouble regarding tin- duplicate:. Mime IHI I sun, was rather MB-ing. Ami o ended Mr. Kelly's career a a public officer, and as he is in good circumstances, is worth from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars, his conduct in the office is almost inexplicable. The next thing will lie the appointment to fill the vacancy, and Mr. Louden, who was on the ticket with Kelly; Col. Kerr, of llarrisville; Messrs Pringle, Mci'rea and Mnrriu, of Butler; Eli Graham, of Jeffer son twp.; Flemming West, of Cranberry twp., and Ed Duffy are said to lie appli cants. Whoever is appointed will receive 93.50 a day under the new law, and to re ceive the appointment he must have voted lor Kelly as the last clause of See. 7, of Art. XIV of the State Constitution reads as follows: "Any casual vacancy iu the office of County Commissioner or County Auditor shall be filled by the Court of Common Pleas of the county in which such vacancy shall occur by the appointment of an elec tor of the proper county who shall have voted for the Commissioner or Auditor whose place is to be tilled." Judging from a note we have received from Prospect, some people of the county think it strange that Commi -donors Dun can and Hutchison did not make informa tion again t. Kelly, or in other words begin criminal proceedings against him. When Kelly acknowledged his crime* and asked his associates for mercy, they yet had a kindly feeling for him, and they told him that if 110 would refund the money taken from the county and then resign his office they would not prosecute. Hut alter Kel ly began to bully them, they told him they did not care whether IK; resigned or not and were willing that theii official acts should receive the most searching investi gation. Kelly saw lit to band in his resig nation within the specified time and his former associates will live up to their un derstanding with him, but any taxpayer of the county can begin proceedings anytime within two year.-.

With the New Year the already large facilities enjoyc I by the Ihxjiatrh for pro dncing a progressive Nineteenth Century newspaper will be added to.

I' M Small was cho en chairman and de ; livered the address of welcome. He bade • all welcome to the churches and homes of ! the place. The future of the church, he i aid, depends upon the Sabbath School, • and surely yon will help to low the good : seed. UeV. J. M llazlett responded: We come because the Sahhath School is a I good institution, and we shall surely be blest iu our meeting. ' llow prepare for teaching in the Sab bath School." Kev. Mitllin .->aiJ the con secration of the teacher is the very thing, i and the study of God's word. Mr- Hecknian said our every day life I exerts a greater influence than we may , ever know this side of eternity; hence we are to teach by example. Teach that I hri -t ii able to save every one who will come to him. aud that there is nothing so valuable as the soul. liev. I>r. Pershing said begin early to gather facts and illustrations. Investigate independently; study Scripture by Scrip ture. J. W. Orr said, get the leading points 1 that belong to tho lesson; think of the things yon need to help you teach. ••How can we induce pupils to make a more thorough study ol the lesson at home." Kev. Ila/leit: Parents should help them, and teachers should visit the pupils and talk about the lesson. Kev. Kerns recommended to give a list of ijues tions for the class to answer on the follow ing Sunday. I>. and Kev. Stark thought best to let the class understand that they can help the teacher; aloe let them ask <)ues tions about the lesson. J. W. Orr: Cse the lesson for reading during the week at family prayers, keeping it before the children till they become familiar with it. SECOND SFCSSIO.V Kev. Stark showed how to conduct Bilde class reading and Sunday school work. Kev. Hazlctt spoke of special hours lor prayer. Kev. Small alluded to the benefit of the use of tin' Chautauqua system of Bible study. ••How to induce better attendance at the Sunday school by parents ami adult." Rev. Mitllin: Let all"(eel it their duty to study the word of God. Kev. llazlett said those who are not church members ought, to attend Sunday school. YL'KSTION EOS. llow much time should he occupied iu review? L. C. Miller: Make it as brief as possible; impress one fact. What harm iu taking the les.sou help in to elasst Rev. Hazlctt: It crowds the Bible out. How can the singing be conducted so all the children will join? Rev. Kerns suggest ed to have some one teach them a few weeks. Kev. Small suggested the use of blackboard by a leader until all would be come familiar with the pieces. Would it lie well to have a committee of young folks to increase the attendance of the Suuday school? E. 11 Adams said better have both old and young. How can we best cultivate a benevolent spirit in the Sunday school? T. (!. Camp bell: (let the school interested; get up enthusiasm; have them feel that they are doing gcod. J. W. Orr thought they should know what becomes of the money, aud report also the success and Ihe good .t is doing. Kev. Small showed how each one can educate a heathen to preach for bim by sending money to educate them. Kev. Stark said teach the children to give systematically. TIIIIC!' .SKSSIO.N. "W hv aud to what extent should tem perance LIE taught in HID Sunday school?" Kev. Starks: Because of its necessity to the church it should be taught to the ex tent of influencing the youug. Kev. Kerns insisted on teaching temper mice in all thing, especially to the youug, to whom the church looks for its future, and upon teaching it so that your pupils will not feel that you are forcing it upon them. J. W. Orr showed the amount of rum shipped to Africa to be K.OOO casks; showed what the foreigner was lbistiug on us, and the danger to our Sabbath, to our sons and daughters, and how all must be given up to please the immoral God hating bad men; showed that conservatism i; only handing over your best boys and girls to the enemy; teach it because it's the duty to teach it, and no parleying about it. Kev. llazlett thinks w.» should talk of it in our homes, to our neighbors; spoke of being temperate iu the use of tobacco; teach total prohibition; teach by example; teach it for the good we can do our nation. Mrs. Ileincr spoke of her experience in teaching a class—asking her class of boys to inake a pledge, and the interest they took in keeping it, mid the safeguard it threw around them. Kev. Small gave his experience with tobacco and drink. Showed how many men and women are dying by inches from the use of tobacco. J. AV\ Orr said the Sunday school was the place to teach the principles we so much need, because the press is too liberal in its views. What is the church to lie in the future? Just as yon make it in the Sunday school. Kev. Mitllin said, we are not aggressive enough in bringing the world to Christ. Rev. Small spoke of guarding against spiritualism. • Mr. Fithian spoke of teachers in the common schools counteracting the good the children received in Sunday school by teaching inlidelity,spiritualism and heresy. Kev. Garner spoke of the importance of studying the Bible. Kev. Kerns said as we train the children, so we have them for the world or the church. They need the word of God to help them in life. The Secretary urged to greater efforts to secure better attendance, better methods, and above all that all study the word of God more, as the good we receive there from goes with us an aid iu life, and lits us better for the future than all we may gather while here, lie invited all who to attend the annual convention at Evans City, June, ISOO.
