Friday lest TU St Anthony's Day and at least five thousand people, many deaf, blind, lame and sick. attended the ecrr.cee at Father Mollinger"= church on Troy Hill, Allegheny. People were there from almost every State and Territory in the country, and all kinds of diseases were brought to the at tention of the priest-physician. A man was there from Dakota who is totally bli«d, and a woman from Cincinnati who has not been able to walk for ten years. Tbe treatment pursued in ordinary cases is ftot mack different from that af other •hrsiciani Whenever it is possible a three days' visit at Troy Hill is required, and oacb day the patient receives a blessing from the priest, and is also given a pre scription for medicine. These prescriptions are not as complex as most doctors write them. They usually call for different hefts and seldom require alcohol to be mixed with other medicine. >"o charges are made by Father Mollinger. but a rmall offering is general made by those receiving treatment. Father Mollinger is 60 year* of age. He came from Belgium 32 years ago and has been in this country ever since. He stadied medicine and for tbe priesthood in hi* native land, and at an early age joined tbe order of St. Anthony. He also enter ed a medical branch of this order, which is tbe only one of its kind in the world. Its particular work is to give treatment to the poorer members of tbe church in outlying districts. Tbe priests belonging to it are al lowed to weai a beard. The first work which Father Mollinger did in America wa.i as a misfionary through the western counties of Pennsylvania. He finally came to Pitts burg and hin fame has spread all over the world. He of course does not claim to have any divine power himself, but says tie cures are wrought by a judicious method of giving medicine and through the faith of the patient. A Good Time at the Home. Three of the members of tbe State Or phan's Home Commission arrived in But ler last Monday evening and were given a reception at the Home. The A eteran Le gien marched up in a body, the Grand Ar lay was well represented, and other citi zens increased the number to several hun dred. many of whom had seats fronting the front porch. State Inspector Greer presided over tbe meeting in bis usual happy manner, tbe girls of tbe Home gave an exhibition in calisthenies, the boys a military driM, and then Gen. Gobin of I>eb anon Co. was introduced and made a speech. He spoke of tbe origin of the Or phans schools, and expressed himself as being well pleaded with the Butler school aad its management. He was followed by Major Dennison of Pittsburg, Capt. Uarry Davis of Pbila.. Col. Itedic of Butler, and D. B. Doutbett of Brownsdale. Kcuben McElvain saag a humorous song, A. G. Williams, Esq., led in Mnging "My coun try, tis of Thee," Capt. Ayres gave a dec lamation in broken dialect, Mis* Graham ef Pittsburg recited, the crowd sang ."Ual ly ronnd the flag," and adjourued while singing "John Brown's body." Every body enjoyed themselves and the afl.nr was a paccess. Xext day the Commission ers made a thorough inspection of the school, and pronounced it to be in excel lent condition. Stick to Honest Money. From the Xeic York Tribune. The Republican party has achieved a most honorable reputation by giving hon est money to tbe people. When Demo crats were ready to ride into power on any wave of popular passion, utterly reckless of consequences to the country, and favor ed all sorts of inflation and repudiation, tbe Republican party under the leadership of President Grant set it itself against ev ery disregard of pledges, resisted and de feated inflation, and pledged to every work ingman that his wages should be naid in dollars as good as gold. That pledge was kept, and for about twelve years labor has not been plundered to the extent of a sin gle cent by fluctuation in the value of the (honey it earns. The time has come to de fend tbe people once more against the scheme of speculative money sharks. It is tbe business of a Republican llouse to see that the people have a sufficiency of currency, but to see also that the currency shall all of it be as good as gold—that the money of tbe laborer shall not be less valuable by tbe smallest fraction than the money in which the bondholder has been honorably paid. Tbe Republican bill which has been re ported in the House has this characteristic feature It goes as far as anybody can possibly go in creating a new demand and a permanent monetary use for silver. Ev ery nance of silver produced in this coun try will be required bv the Treasury for monetary use under this measure, besides part of the silver imported from Mexico. The latest report of the Mint makes the production of the mines last year 50,000,- 000 ounces, and the silver from imported ore 7,000,000 ounces, while the Treasury purchases required by the House bill would amount to 54,000,000, ounces. The 0,000, 000 ounces used iu the arts must be sup plied by foreign mines. Tet with this large addition to the monetary supplv, the bill provides a safeguard against depreciation of uotcs issued apon bullion, by the stipu lation that on demand of any holder the Secretary may deliver tbe exact value of tbe note In silver bullion at the market price. Since no holder would lake anything less when be could get the full face value of the note iu bullion, it would be impossible for the notes representing silver bullion to part company irom golet the difference once appear, thougli it hu but a fraction of a cent on tbe dollar, and tbe $900,000,000 of gold in the country would immediately cease to be available as currency. No such terribly violent contraction has been proposed by any party for manv years, arid it is riot to be expected that any measure involving Ibe leant risk of it will panted by a Repub Hcau Congress or approved by a Republi can President.

Chronicle says: Several weeks ago two glib-tongued venders ol ruitings did the town, selling dozens of pieces of cloth goods to Warron men. They explained the low price at which their patterns were offered by saying that the goods bad b en smuggled hi to this country from Canada, and thus escaped customs duty. Probably 10 days after the business ended, a fellow claiming to represent a Xew Tork firm of tailors ap peared in the city, and also desired to ;-ell piece goods. Oddly enough the latest arrival visited only the persons who had brought of his predecessors, and finding all supplied he finally offered to make up in to suits the cloth already purchased. An astonishing low figure was named for the work, and the price caught the owners of the smuggled cloth. With great exactness tbe victims were measured, directions taken as to making of the garments and the New York custom tailor left town with the cloth of at least seven parties. Becoming suspicious at a failure to hear from the New York gentleman, inquiry was made, and it is now discovered that no such firm as he claims to" represent exists. A number of Main and Market St. boys were caught by the swindle. Another flood victim, a man of whom no description is given, was found last Friday afternoon embedded in a foot of sand, opposite the foot of Vine street, Johnstown. Over at Ebensburg. lately a horse thief, jumped out of the Court llouse window as soon as the Jury announced their verdict, and ran for liberty, and Court adjourned till he was overtaken and brought back. Judge Baer established a reputation for granting divorces at Indiana last week where he was holding court for Judge Harry White, having granted five divorces in as many hours, which is supposed to eclipse the Chicago record. On Saturday several boys were in a barn at Titusville playing a juvenile Wild Went Show. A boy named liitter had frot hold of an old revolver. He pulled back the hammer, pressed the trigger, and it sent the ball through his left hand and into the abdomen of AVillle Wolf. The latter ran to his home, cried the one word '-Mamma!" and fell dead. Miss Blanche Fiscus, the talented daughter of Sheriff Fiscun, of Kiitauning, havihg finished her collegiate education with high honors, has decided to study medicine. A bright and successful future is anticipated for the young lady. A swarm of bees alighted in the window of a drug stere at Lancaster, one evening week, and the druggist locked them up over night. In tbe morning they were all dead. Isaac Kerr, better known as "Yankee Sampson," died recently, at the Beaver County Home, where he was tak'.-n two months ago. He was 04 years of age, and in bis time a man of remarkable physical strength. He also pulled against four horses and iu various way* exhibited his great strength. To these tremendous exertions is attributed his loss of sight, which occurred about :i0 years "ago. He finally become afflicted with gangrene, which necessitated the amputation of his lower limbs. His remains were buried Friday forenoon, in the cemetery connect ed with the Home. The Co. Cornm'rs or Washington Co. have offered SI,OOO reward for the apprehension of the murderers of the Crouch family, the Jury which convicts the murderer to dispose of the reward.

A crim con cane of more than ordinary interest wad up for hearing before Justice (irifliu of Franklin last Friday. Mrs. C. <-'• McKee, late of C'lintonville, appeared to answer to the charge of adultery, preferred by Mr*. K. H. Merriman, widow of the young man who suicided at C'lintonville a abort time ago, under circumstance* which brought Mr*. McKee into unpleasant notoriety. were produced in court that were written by the fair defendant to the widow'* deceased husband, iu which she addresses Merriinan in the most endearing terms and familiar language, more than suggesting the intimacy alleged to have existed between them. Mrs. McKee was held for court on the charge of adultery, friend* from Canal township go ing surety for her appearance. The letter* are decidedly «cui hi* wif.; 11 short time previous to the com mission of the final misdeed which terminated his life, and i*ave h.-r the si* letters produced in court to-day. No other cause is assur ed for Merrimau's suicide than the allr-gcd infidelity of his paramour. The first payment to the creditors of the defunct Lawrence Hank of I'ittr.burg u, promised for July Ut.
