Donald Cameron will be bis own successor—and on the 4th of Marth will enter upon his third term, with aggregate of 18 years, as Senator *4 the United States, from the second State in the Union; and having np to this time shown little statesmanship, •ther than that comprehended in making Motions to adjourn, or going into executive session; keeping himself aloof from toneb or sympathy with the."great mass of the party with which he professes to be identi fied; and fashioning his Republicanism so as to suit South Carolina's ex-Confederate Senators, rather than those who honor him with their confidence, and keep him con tbiaougly in his seat. On the other hand, Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, New York's dis tinguished Senator, a Statesman with world-wild reputation, a Cabinet officer under two Administrations, and the ablest lawyer doubtless in the body of which he is now a conspicious member, at the same date, takes leave of the Senate chamber, at the end of one term, or an aggregate of only six years, to pass thenceforward in all likelihood into permanent private life. Could there be imagined a sharper con tract. in all the singularities of politics! — Beaver Times. THE war between the factions in Ireland —the Parnellites and the MeCarthyites— is becoming decidedly interesting. At a town in the Kilkenny district, Tuesday, open air meetings, in the interest of the opposing candidates were held near each other, and the two meetings came in col lision, and a regular row ensued. Mr. Parnell who was addressing one of the meetings was driven off, and when he at tempted to address a smaller meeting, at some distance, his crowd was surrounded by the other, and a small bag filled with lime was thrown into his face, and he was, for a time, completely blinded and put in great pain. A scene of wild confusion fol lowed and Parnell was driven to his hotel for medical treatment. Now a "Good Indian." Indian police arrested Sitting Bull ft bis camp near Fort Yates, North Dakota, last Monday morning; bis followers attempted his rescue, a fight ensued and (pur police men, Sitting Bull, his son and several oth er Indians were killed. The police were surrounded, but were rescued by troops, the Indian* took to their heels and it is supposed that the Messiah erase and in cipient war is ended. IF TJTX number of Congressmen is fixed as now seems provable, the ratio of ' population for each will be 173,901, and this State will will get 30 members; also the electoral college will consist of 444 Totes requiring 223 to eleot a President, of which Pennsylvania would cast 32. THS Delamater failure grows worse as time passes. A dispatch from Meadville dated the Ilth inst stated that 19,000 of State license money, SB,OOO of State tax and $2,200 for Warren Hospital, for all of which county orders had been drawn and left at tho bank had not been paid. The County Treasurer is ruined by the failureand has resigned his office. David Martin of Philadelphia threatened to pros ecute Delamater for misrepresentation re garding the $5,000 he secured from him, and it is reported that Senator Quay agreed to make it good. Ax Colombia, S. 0. last Thursday J. L. M. Irby, an adherent of Tillman, was elected U. 8. Senator to succeed Wade Hampton, and Wade's busby side whiskers and his crutches will cease to be among the attractions of the Senate Chamber. OVER 12,000 cases of eholera are report ed in Guatemala and 1200 deaths in seven weeks. Ex U. 8. Senator Wm. A. Wallace, of Clearfield, Pa., made an assignment for the benefit ol his creditors on Tuesday of this week, and the Clearfield County Bank, in in which he was largely interested closed its doors. Senator Wallace's friends at tribute his failure to the stringency in tho money market, his money being tied np in some western mining speculations, and claim that his property will pay dollar for dollar. This may prove to be the case, but as a rule speculation and tho banking business do not harmonize. Oil Notes. The Sutton A Cbnstie well on the M. Zicgler farm, south of Harmony is good for 75 bbls., and as high as S3OO bonus, has been paid for leases of town lots down that direction. The now town is called "Swam poodle" on account of the swamp. Enawha's 2 on the Hiram Graham started off at 60 bbls. Clark & Go's 13 on the Rader is rated at 95 bbls- Ralph A Co. are drilling a test well two miles east of Mt. Chestnut. The well on tho Dr. Hoover farm is re ported good for 20 bbls. The tools were taken out Monday evening. A party of drillers, consisting of W. C. Glnter, of Petrolia; W. E. iiabcock.of Four Mile, 2». Y., and Henry MeElroy, of Alle gheny, have been engaged by the Oil Well Supply Company to go to a point 40 miles from Bucharest and drill for oil for the Hamburg Oil Company, of Hamburg, Germany. Four strings of tools have been ordered. An attempt was made some time ago to drill a well at this point but failed. One of the American drillers in the first party shot a man in Roumania, and is now ferving a life sentence in a Roumania prison. They will leave January 1. They are the crew which has been drill ing the well on the Exposition grounds. A company of producers have organized at Emlenton to build a refinery near that place at a cost of $60,000. They also pro pose to boild pipe lines in the Squaw Valley, Ritchie Run, Byrom Conter and Marias ville districts. Middlesex Twp. Items. Our school, which is being taught by Mr. Clifford Montgomery, is making good progress. The scholars all appreciate his method of teaching and his pleasant manners. Mr. Henry Lefevre is teaming in the Wildwood oil field. The most pleasant gatherings in Middle sex are the singings which take place every Friday eveniDg at Fort Sumter school house, conducted by Prof. James Koan. Charles Maizland, John Quinu and Wm. Quinn struck outlast Saturday in the direc tioh of Tfcorn Creek on a hunting expodf tion and returned in the evening, ana boasted of having quite a successful trip. UP in Maine they are already harvesting joe. The Teachers' Institute. The Teachers' Institute now being held in the Court House appear* to be one of the best and most successful ever held in j this place. There are two hundred and neventy-one teachers in attendance, and anutual earnestness and attention are ob served among them. The list of instruc tors embraces a large and able set of men, and their teachings have been carefully and studiously considered by the mass of teachers, and we believe the present sea gions are as wholesome and productive of good as could be reasonably desired. A list of the foreign instructors must naturally begin with Prof. C. E. Leslie, of Chicago, who might be innocently styled: Musical Director. The Professor plainly commands the hearts of Jour-fifths of the | teachers and is certainly a musical genius, lif a rather peculiar one. He understands his audiences and never fails in getting them in perfect sympathy with him. When he has the floor there is no question as to who has the attention of the house. Prof. G. J. Luckey, of Pittsburg, spoke and will speak on a variety of subjects, principally method* of teaching the ordi nary branches of study. He is very enter taining as well as practical, and is mnch liked. Dr. Snyder, of Indiana, Pa., has spoken frequently and well. His talks are of a higher order and a statement of his that struck us was that the greatest deficiency of the average teacher is in mathematics, certainly one of the most important of all the branches taught in our public schools. The list of foreign instructors is com pleted with Prof. A. E. Maltby,of Slippery rock, Dr. Crawford, of Tidionte, Pa., and Prof. Winship, of Boston. The address of welcome was made on Monday aiternoon by Lev. McQuistion, Esq., and was pronounced by many the best welcoming address ever made to the teachers in Butler, amid the flow of eloquence of which Mr. McQuistion is so much a master of,were many potent truths, and much food for meditation for the teachers. He urged that in all teaching the moral nature ol the pupils should be educated as the mental training progressed and called attention to the self evident fact that an educated villain is the worst man known to society. The address war couched in the most elegant language and was most satisfactory. Mr. M. H. Young, of Harrisville, a son of Rev. Young, of North "W ashingtou, responded in a practical and well consider ed speech, in which he forcibly spoke ol the prominence of country born and bred men in all the walks of city and national life. The lives of James A. Garfield and Aaron Burr were contrasted and morals drawn from them. His response was good. Hon. Henry Hall, of Mercer, lectured in the evening, and his subject, "The Coming Man," was treated in such a new and novel phase as to greatly interest all. "The Coming Man" was located in the United States and was to be the product of this country,arising from our wonderful growth and genius. From the present mixed and different races, or bloods rather, of the people who now compose our population, a future was forecast by Mr. Hall, in which all theso bloods will be united with a grander and better education, better m&nuers, customs and laws, making us a better and more just and rational people, It is most sincerely to be hoped that Mr. Hall may be a prophet in this view of our future. "The Coming Man" cannot come too soon. He. in fact, is needed now. Many things are plainly wrong in our present civilization and laws. Reforms have been and will continue to be made for the better, but what the future of a hundred years may have in store for this country no man knowetb. That it may be the condition and improvement described iu "The Com ing Man" is the hope of all and should be the work and effort of all to bring about. At tho conclusion of the lecture, the social event of tho occasion occurred iu the reception tendered by the town teachers to those visiting. The reception was hold at the Y. M. C. A. rooms, anil alter some time spent in becoming acquainted,refresh ments were served. It was a delicate and well-timed action by our teachers and will be remembered as the feature of these ses sions by many. Tuesday was spent listening to the in structors and there was an oppressive jam iu tho court-room all afternoon. This feature is, perhaps, the greatest fault of our institutes, and there is no doubt that this "rushing in" by disinterested crowds, especially of the youthful classes,interferes greatly with the actual good done by tho sessions. This lault has always existed, and probably will so long as tho Institutes remains so popular among the amusement loving public, for to such, the Institutes are exactly that. Taken as a whole,to use a Hibernianism, such of the present Institute as has tran spired up to the present writing has been an unqualified success, and reflects credit on tho superintendents of whose labor it is the result. Wcndling's lecture Tuesday evening was one of the grandest efforts wo have ever heard. He proved, perhaps as well as any human being can prove, that death is not the end of our spiritual existence. The principal features of Wednesday's programme were Prof. Maltby's talks on imagination and the theory of teaching, which were very instructive and were highly appreciated by the teachers. The proceedings of the Directors Meet ing will appear next week. Clearfield Twp. BBAHY SCHOOL, KO. 2. The second month of school closed on Monday, Dec. Bth.

MUler A Son- planing mill, anil Kaereher j A Sons bar mill at Rochester Pa. burned last Saturday night, and the Doncaster House was only saved by a great effort. Judge Mellaril refused to interfere in the Grove City College fuss, for the reason that the suit was brought against the Faculty and not against the Trustees. Beaver Co. thieves stole three horses frcm Mr. Swisher's barn near Enon lately. Al. Crispin, now in jail at Buffalo, has created a sensation in Venango Co., by confessing to the murder of young Wash burn. near Cooperstown, some years ago. At Buehtel College, Akron, 0., the young ladies gave a dancing party in fancy cos tumes, decorated with cotton batting, which took fire and from a gas jet, and two I of them were burned to death. Some citizens of New Castle are arrang ing to build a $30,000 hospital there. The former citizens of Butler Co. now resident in Beaver Falls and vicinity are arranging for a reunion and banquet, and an oreanization has been effected with John A.

The Nicelys boys are yet lying in their cells under treatment form their various injuries. Beside broken wrists, sprained ankles and other external injuries, they noth suffered severely from their exposure to the extreme cold weather, and their hands and feet are frozen. For awhile it was thought that inflammation had set in Joe's frozen foot It may be necessary to amputate the toc-B and heel on his foot. Both the doctor and Sherifl' believe the Nicelvs will recover, and will suffer the penalty of their crime on the gallows. At the Rod mill at New Castle lately an assistant roll-turner had his arm caught in a pair of slow moving cogs. Every effort was made to stop the machinery, but this could not be accomplished till the arm was crushed to a jelly as far up as the elbow, and the muscles and flesh torn off above the joint. After he was released from his perilous position he was hastily removed to bis boarding house where doctors amputated the arm just above the elbow. IN the U. S. Circuit Court at Boston, last Friday, the case of the Hat Sweat Co. vs. J. P. Oilman's Sons was decided in fa vor of the plaintiffs. It was a test case on a hat band patent, and the royalties claim ed from the different hat manufacturers of the country already amount to three mil lion dollars. The Bribery Cases. Judge Uazen refused to quash thebribery indictments, and the first case, that of tho Com. vs W. D. Wallace, Esq. was taken up in the New Castle Court last Sat urday morning. The entire day was oc cupied in trying to select a jury. On Monday the jury was completed and Messrs A. F. Smith, Dr. McConnell, A- P. Marshall and others were examined as wit nesses, and Tate was called but refused to answer on the ground that his evidence would criminate himself. On Tuesday, Tate persisted in his refus al lo answer questions, the matter was argued for hours and Judge Hazen finally decided that he should answer. Ho was then asked: "Did you, Mr- Shaffer and Mr. Downing have a conversation with Mr. W. D. V, ai laco on a side ftreet on July .'if "I refuse to answer, as my answer might have a tendency to criminate me," re sponded Mr. Tate. lie per.'.isted in his refusal to answer, and, the Court made tho following order: "Whereas. The witness, John L. Tate, being a witness in the ease now ou trial, having stated that certain answers to que tions might tend to criminate him, tho Conrt havirg heard arguments, and having decided that witness should answer, but that answeis so given could not be used against him in a criminal prosecution, he still refusing to answer, the Court adjudg ing him guilty of contempt, therefore, the Court doth now commit him to the county jail until such time as ho will purgt< him self of said contempt." Tate was then placed in jail. T. I Downing another of the Beaver county delegates under indictment, was the next witness called. He stated that he had been a delegate to the convention, and had met -VI r. Wallace on tho street several times. "Did Mr. Wallace ask you to vote for Alexander McDowellT" "I decline to answer, for the same reason as was given by Mr. Tate," responded Mr Downing Here the acting District Attorney said: 'There is no use proceeding furthe.-, he will not answer." The Court—'Thomas J. Downing, do you persist in not answering forfear the answers will tend lo criminate you? Mr. Downing- Yes. "Do you know that the Court has ruled that the answers given by you cannot be used against you in any criminal prosecu tion?" "Yes, sir." Judge llazen then committed Thomas Downing to jail until he too would purge himselfol contempt. He wan placed in jail with Tate at once. Ktlwin Shaffer, another of the Beaver delegated, under indictment for bribery, wan called and refused to answer all ques tions for the samo reason that the other* bad given. After informing the Court that he persisted in his refusal, be also was sent to jail with his two friends. On Wednesday morning Tate, ShalTer and Downing were brought into Court, when they persisted i;i refusing to answer, anil were »e!:teuced by tlie Court to pay a fine of S2OO each, and be imprisoned in the County jail till Mnrch 10, 1891. The trial of Wallace was continued, but as the prosecution had relied on the evidence of the three imprisoned men to convict him, the case feM thiougb, andtbe jury divided the costs between the pro secutor and dependant. The cases vs the three imprisoned men were continued till next term.
