The commissioner de cides that the use of uunato or other color ing matter is a fraud because it makes the butter appear to be of a better quality than it really is. The question is-, will the courts sustaiu the commissioner's deci sion? —lnside the borough lines there are several dangerous pieces of road at pres ent. On the old Mercer road, in the north wca'ern part of the town, just at the line between the borough and township, there was a land slide a taw days ago, the mud ia the centre of ti;e road is about four feet deep and there i= a wagon stuck iu it.

All redeemed envelopes and stamps are sent by postmasters who redeem them to the department and records of the sumo are kept. These regulations are, we think,not generally known at -large, and their publi tion may be beneficial to a large number of people. —A burglar won't staud aiiy] chance at all after a while. It taxes all a burglar's ingenuity now to get into houses and get, away with the plunder iu safety, and the constantly increasing devices to thwart him keep him continually 011 the alert. The latest is the idea of a Toledo, Ohio, geuitts who conceived tho idea of setting a photographic camera in bis office, with flash light attachment, and so arranged that on the office door being opened an electric circuit was completed, the flashed and the intruder photographed. It worked well. The lirst fellow he caught was a colored janitor ho had discharged, and who, with his knowledge of the office had determined to rob it. ilis camera had a picture ol' the janitor just as he entered the door with his hand on the key, and there was no denying such evidence.

The lir.st, men to arrive at Mr.;. Edwards housn after tin* «*x pl« >r-i«»n found it in the condition ns slated in the llntler papers lit -t week. and also tli.it the ruin of the porch were on lire some rag aiid other rubbish under the debris were burning, and tin.' lire bad n i» thii (•battered ide ol' Ihe boll >' I" 'he ceiling of the porch which was also burning Their first duty was to extiugui-h tli«- tlauies, and they say that bad they been live minutes later, the hou eould n«l have been saved. That is the evidence of Mr J. .V Muiilz and •nw of his cmployi. who were first it the cone. Now the nitro glycerine men say tbut an explosion of the fluid will not produce lir>-. so it must have been the fire that proline ed the explosion, and Mrs. Edwards wa probably trying to melt tin- top "ill a can at the time of the explosion. The ordina ry nitro glycerine can is made to hold nine quarts, though but eight quarts are carried in it. as the stuff expands. They are made square or rectangular, arc carefully solder ed so as to prevent leakage, and have two nozzles on lop, with a handle between them and one at the side. At the hearing before Esq. Walker, Mr. W'onderly testifi ed that a certain shooter was in the habit of leaving empty cans in the mouth of the coal bank, to the west of and below Mr . Edwards' place till lie topped him. The shooter or shooters who left these caus in Mrs. Kd wards' fence corner are responsible for her death, thongh none of them were called before the jury. They all have in struct ions from their employers to return the empty cans to the magazine, and in no event to leave them out over night. However, as the magazines are usually placed in out of-way places, some of the shooters, to save a littlo time when return ins home late in t'lo evening have been hiding their empty LUII6. Some years ago two young niori walking in the woods near Parker eaine across a coflple of cans hid in some lmslies, and one of them, not know ing what they were, gave them a kick. The explosion killed both men. V junk dealer of Petrolia picked up a piece of inch pipe through which some nitro glycerine ha been poured and shipped it with his other Btufl to Pittsburg, ft was purchas ed by a V'ouug lilachiuest, who attempted to cut a piece off it with a chisel one day, and was killed by the explosion that fid lowed. A young man from Clarion county says that while in company with some other boys they found sis empty glycerine cans in the woods, they made a pile of de leaves and wood, put the cans on top ol pile and then set it on fire. The explosion that followed was immense, but the strange part of the thing was lhat two of the cans did not explode. They were thrown off the pile and it took another tire to explode thcin, and they made* a > loud a a report as the other four. All vessels which have contained the terrible fluid are dangerous and should destroyed by shooting into tlieni. Doings of Council. At the regular meeting os Council Tues day evening, the question of sewerage could not be considered on account of En gineer Waring's plans not yet having ar rived and the matter was postponed till next Tuesday evening. The ordinance for tho paving of Main St. was adopted and ordered published. The St. will be. paved,from the Pittsburg bridge to a point 40 feet north of 11. W. Christie's fence, with brick, the adjoining property to pay two-thirds the cost and tho borough to be bonded at 4 3-10 th per cent for the other third. The entire length is about 4800 feet and the width from curb to curb is 50 feet, making about 30,000 square yards and the entire cost at. $2.00 per square yard, (the brick to be made in lint ler. and including grading and curbing), will be jfilO.oon—so the town will have to be bonded for about .fOO.OOO. A proper clay to make the brick has been found in the vicinity of the town. We understand that the idea of the Council is to have a solid foundation of broken sandstone, cov ered with but one thickness of brick on edge, and this will require about two mil lions of brick, or about twenty kilns.which at sl6 a thousand, would make the brick worth about s32,(Mil.

The Committee on numbering hou es re ported in favor of the present system,same to be extended to Springdalo, and streets to be named at corners. Burgess I'atterson reported that he had issued licenses for drays, etc. to the amount of $385, collected the same, am! paid the money iuto the town treasury. The High Constable was empowered to buy lumber and build a pound. The Street Committee wm empowered to employ a civil engineer. The Commit tee is composed ot' Messrs. Fortjuer. 1". Schcnck. and l>r.
