Price, (3 a year, weekly. —Daring the flood of last week, the temporary bridge connecting Butler and Springdale was washed away, and a man named Beach who keeps a store and boat house near the north pier has turned many an honest penny rowing people across the creek. The Co. Commissioners have made arrangement for replacing the temporary structure.

It appears that in the old days the drivers of the Conestoga wagons, so eommon years ago on our national pike, used to buy very cheap cigars. To meet this demand a small cigar manfacturer in Washington, this State, whose name is lost to fame, started in to make a cheap "roll up" for them at four for a cent. They be came very popular with the drivers and at first called Conestoga cigars, since, by usage, corrupted into "stogies" and "tobies," It is now estimated that Penn sylvania and West Virginia produce about 200,000,000 stogies yearly, probably all for home consumption. —Eggs are selling at thirty cents per dosen here, and mighty hard to get at that.

When eggs are only ten cents a dosen she will get up at four o'clock in the morning to lay an egg, then wake up the household cackling over it in an idiotio glee. But when an egg becomes a precious morsel Mrs.Biddy is not so ambitious. In spite of all the blandishments and shelled corn that can be lavished upon her she will pur sue her shiftless course and permit human ity to suffer for her dolessness and eggless ness*—Punxsutawney Spirit.

So it it, of course, for they get paid for giving the merchant pub licity, and the more publicity they gire him the more they should be paid. But as good a scheme as it is for the newspapers, it is a better one for Ihe uitr chant.

Conwell in the Court House, <>u ihe evening of the 2d inst., wa« in all respects the most novel and cntert&iniDg of any yet delivered under the auspices of our Lecture Association. It was novel because it introduced a new character,whose history is but little known in this country. When Mr. Conwell an nounced that in treating bis subject, "The Heroism of Private Life," he would tell of one of the greatest patriots and men who ever lived, in any age or clime, all expect ed to hear of some great and well-known character, some one of when they had read of, or at least heard of. But when he said the name of his hero was Daniel Manin, of the city of Venice, Italy, all opened their eyes in astonishment! And yet the history I of the struggle in Italy, by which its peo ple gained great political rights, confirm all the lecturer told of him. He was a patriot. He combined in his character elements rare in man, —the power to lead and govern a people and the power not to desire to do so. Manin, (pronounced Mah neen in Italian), was a rare and unselfish patriot, a fearless delender of liberty, an unconquerable foe to the oppressors of his country and to all tyranny and wrong. He suffered terrible trials in defense of his people, but was finally crowned their de liverer and was President of the free city of Venice. There is no doubt but that the influence and example of our Revolution ary heroes fired the hearts of many in Europe and went far to produce such pa triots as Daniel Manin, who may be term ed the Patrick Henry of the free city of Venice. —Fire carload of sleighs at Martin court & Co's. —Wheeler & Wilson and Stan dard Sewing Machines at HENRY BUHL'S, No. 122 N.

A Delightful Series of Tours to Washing ton via Pennsylvania Railroad. For several years past the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has run a series of ex cursions to Washington, D. C,at a season when the National Capital is b a whirl of pleasure and social activity,and these touri have met with marked succes. This year the company has just announted a series of three; to leave Pittsburg Jinuary 15th, Febuary sth,and March sth. Excursion tickets,good for tec days from date of sale.admitting of a itop-over in Baltimere in either direction within the proper limit, will be sold from Pittsburg at s9.oo,and correspondingly low rates from other stations in Western Pennsylvania. The tickets will be good for use on anv regular train of the date above named, except limited express trains;of parlor cars and day coaches will leave Pittsburg at 8.00 A.M., and run through to Washington, stopping at principal stations. Tbo return coupons will be valid for passage on any regular train within the return limit,except the Pennsylvania Limited. Washington is one of the most interesting cities in the Union. It is esteemed by many the most beautiful city in America, and the fact that it is the Beat of governient and the location of the handsomest public buildings in the land makes it interesting to every citizen. Both branches of Congress will be in daily sessions, and in fact, every branch of the public service may be seen in the actu al work of conducting the goverment. The public buildings, embracing the Capi tol, White House, Treasury, State, War, and Navy Departments, the great Smith sonian Institution, the National Museum, are open to the public every day, and offer a field for interest and study that cannot be excelled any where. The great Wash ington Monument, the highest memorial shaft in the world, is itself worth a trip to see. The rates are unusually low, and the limitation of the tickets ample for a most pleasurable trip. This Isn't a Joke, It can be Ex plained. $1.50 plus $2.40 = $3.00. Teacher, to Visitor: "Now, there's an industrious boy in the corner seat. James, you may pnt your example on the black board." James chalks the above figures on the board, and explains the peculiar resnlt as follows: "The folks over to tho CITIZEN office said if I'd give 'em $3.00 they'd send me the value of $1.50 plus $2.40, an' dad an' I decided to do it." James was a wise boy. He learned that $3.00 was the clubbing price at which he could get the CITIZKN for the family and "Wide Awake" for himself and the girls; both for a whole year. Our readers should know that "Wide Awake" is the famous Boston magazine for young people (100 pages every month) ana costs $2.40 alone. But with our usual enterprise we have arranged to offer that magazine and the CITIZEN lor a while, for $3.00. The CITIZKK will take care of all orders, and show any one the magazine.
