King, of Donegal township, were away from home lately, their home was partially destroyed by (ire —Xow Justice's of the Peace, iu writing their acceptances must write their names in full, state whom they succeed, how the vacancy occurred, and designate their dis trict. —That season is near at haud when "the yonng man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love,'' and when the old man wonders how long this house cleaning racket will be on. —We are sorry to be compelled to cur tail our country correspondence this week. The Auditor's Report i.s unusually long this year, it camo ia late, and all hands wore kept busy putting it in type. —Some citiz-ns of Freeport, Natrona and other towns aro again agitating tho formation of a new county out of parts of Butler, Armstrong, Allegheny and Wost lnorolaud counties, a thing that, will be ac complished whon the ''pigs blossom." —One of our agricultural exchanges last week, contained an advertisement of the celebrated stallion, "The Lord Chief Jus tice," aud one of our county exchanges started its agricultural column with an ar ticle on stock hogs and followed it with one headed "What is a model wife." —"I believe in impressions," said a man (,s ho ran his eye ovor the paper.

Miller, on West Clay street, last Saturday afternoon, and the Coroner's Jury came to the conclusion that he died of hoart disease. Ho was an industrious man, was single, and formerly worked at Brady's Bend, where he ac cumulated some money, but lost it by the failure of Pittsburgh bank. —The clue to the murderers of Mrs. Rudcrt, of Tarentum, seems to be com pletely lost, or rather no true clue was ever found, and it remains to be seen whether or not "murder will out" in this ca.su. There have been some remarkable cast s of murder coming to light years alter the perpetration of the deed, and the most remarkable we ever heard of was the re sult of ,i discussion over the expression "murdei will out." Many years ago in a farm house in Ligonier Valley a company of women were discussing a recent mur der, the perpetrator of which was un known, and one of them, a youug lady, repeated the (saying "murder will out, even though the rooster has to dig it out ot the dung-bill." Ono of tho older ladies of tho crowd combattod the truth of this maxim, sajing that tsho herself knew of a case that did not come ont, and during the discussion she acknowledged that she had killed her husband twenty years before, and she told whero she had hid him. Thi.. statement was proved to bo truo, and tho woman was arrosted, but what was done with her, our informant, a lady of Butler, whoso mothor was one of the crowd, does not remember. The Odd Follows. Over forty-two years ago, on the Ist of Nov. 18*17, a few men iu Butler determm ed to organize a lodge of Odd ellows here. They organiied with Alfred *•» I - more an Noble (iraiid. Jacob Zitgltr an Vice 0., John Graham as Secretary, and Dunlap McLaughlin as Treasurer. On thb Bth of Nov. they received their charter from the Grand Lodge at l'hil'a., and J. Jlcrron Foster of Pittsburg came to Butler and effected the organization. They nam ed their lodge tho "Connoqueuessing" ami since that time it has existed iu Butler, with varying fortunes. During tho past year and a half, however, it has trebled its membership, which now numbers near ly two hundred, and as il owns « <nbstan tial brick building, a well furnished hall, and has mone\ in its treasury, it may be truly said to Im in a flourishing condition. LiU.ii year since its organization the lodge has given a reception, to winch the the tni m'bers invited their friends, i'heir reception for this year, the 42d, was held iu their beautiful hall, on Friday evening last, and shortly after 7 o'clock, the hour fixed upon, the hall was comfortably filled with members and their friends. Brother Ezra Brtigh called the meeting to order, the officers took their seats, and prayer was offered by lirotber Anderson. Brother I'rugh then called upon Brother Ira McJunkin to welcome the visitors. Mr. McJnnkin bid the friends a welcome, and then spoke of the principles and objects of the order, of its three great links —Friend ship. Love and Truth —of the organization of the order in London in 1715; of the fir»t permanent lodge iu this country, which was organized at Baltimore in 1819; of the alleged secrets of the order, and he dis claimed liny proprietorship iu the gnat that browses on the vacant lot nearby. ilr. l,on Russell ami Miss Mary Wick then favored the audience with a duet. Brother J. W. Hutchison was then call ed upon. He spoke of the objects and aims of the order, of this, its 42d anniver sary, and promised that, if the Conuoquo nessing Lodge continued growing as it has been during the past few months, it would eight years hence, celebrate its semi-cen tennial in a stylo that would throw the World's Fair ut Chicago into the shade —a sentiment that was heartily applauded. The next thing on the programme was a solo by Miss Alice Wick. Brother Geo. W. Flcegcr then spoke of tho common brotherhood of the whole race, said that this order was a levcler of rank, that in it all were equal, that it taught morals and the golden rule; that it elevated man and made him social and humane, aud that it was destined to stand till time ceased. Brother A. G. Williams was sorry to correct twa of the previous speakers as to the origin of Odd-Fellowship, that ono of the speakers said the order was organized in London in 1745, and another that it was organized 1700 years ago, but that they were mistaken, the order began with the race and Adam was the first Odd Fellow; that the order encouraged every member to bo a man. He then favored the nudi ence with a song. Brother Lewis Mitchell was called, but said he had the Grippe and only came out ■that night at the request of Brother Ilein eman, who promised to help hint out at the table. Brother Anderson, who had been refer red to by two of the speakers as the witty member of the lodge, proved to bo a poet, when called upon and compare d the char ity of the order to the dew drops falling from the mountain tops; lie hud also been spoken of as the praying member and he he commented on the opposite characters given him, then he spoke of the sociability of tho order, of the weekly meeting and of the ladies meeting with them but once a year, he thought this should be changed, and that all the members should marry and bring their wives with them every week; he said a man was but half a man till ho took unto himself a better half and as he was looking at Ezra when he said this the audience enjoyed it. He also said that there arc now 80,000 Odd Follows in Penn'a.; that they ministered to the neods of those in want, that the order made men bettor and nobler, that a good Odd Fellow was a good everything, and held to Friend ship, Love and Truth. Brother Cuthbert. when called upon, gave a biography of the Goat belonging to the lodge, he asserted positively that the iodge did own one at one time, that it died and that he was at the funeral, but unfortunately that it was so long ago that all tho witnesses were dead. This was the last of tho speeches and tho Choir entertained the audience for half an hour pending the announcement of supper at 10 p. in. when all marched to the "Willard House and partook of one of those repasts for which that house is be coming famous, and of which mine host Reihing can well be proud. The I. 0. 0. F. is a growing organiza tion in Butler County, and as wo said be fore, the Connoquenossing Lo<Tgo of But ler has trebled its membership during tho past eighteen months, it owns the building in which it meets with a handsomely fur nished room, and it always has a good balanco in its treasury. Sinco its organi zation eight others have been orgauized in the county as follows:—the "Saxonia" of Saxon burg, which also owns its own building, has a large membership, and at present has $4500 in its treasury; tho "Rustic" of Prospect owns its building and has a large membership, the "Meylert" | of Ccntroville, aud tho lodges at Porters ville, Middle Lancaster, Millcrstown, Ev ans City aud Earns City. We have no doubt but that these orders do good and that they encourage that friendship, consideration and honor among the members,which if extended to all their neighbors niako them model citizeus of the greatest Nation and greatest Republic on the planet. Most of them also have sick benefits and endowments, which insure the families of members a competence when they are in distress, or upon their decease. —This lias been one of the meanest and most unprofitable winters for livery men ever known in the history of the busi- —Henry Powers, aged 71 years died at tho home of his son Georgo Powers, on Eloventh avenue, Sunday, at 12:30 p. in.

A nnmber of oil producers held a meet ing in Pittsburg last Thursday for the pur pose ol discussing the late decision of the Supreme Court relative to the leading of property. The producers claim that the Court's decision is making them liable tor blackmailing schemes, aud one case was cited where a land owner has presented a lull of sll2O for rent after the land was given up as fruitless. The meeting ad journed to again convene ut the call of the chairman', and it is generally thought that a uniform style ol' lease will be adopted by all the producers. Hays «t Co. will drill some wells on tho Jacob Bllenborger farm in Fairview twp. this summer; and Carliu Co. are now drilling on the James Swartzlander lurm adjoining; Beck Bros, of Karns aud Shorts Bros, of Bruin have rigs up on J. 11.
