—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. The contracts for a
substantial iron bridge across the creek at
that point were let some months ago, but
winter set in before the contractor for the
piers could get them in place. He is
having the stones for the piers quarrie d
and dressed up the Shenango road.
—Our Millionares and others who smoke
tobies, may be interested in hearing of
their origin. 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.
The hens have a lazy, listless way about
them that is very discouraging to the far
mer who wants to sell eggs. It is a diffi
cult matter to bring the aveaage Biddy to a
proper sense of her duty in this matter.
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.
Sick People.
Mr. W. H. Sbanor of Whitestown is on
the sick list.
Miss Dalamater.of Millerstown.a teacher
oi the Butler schools is on the sick list.
Mr. C. Otto of W. Cunningham St. is
seriously ill.
Keep at it
Some advertisers are too timid.
They spend a few dollars and if ait
to see biff returns before pending
any more. Trade was never built
up in that Kay. It is the house
that KEEPS AT IT all the time
that attracts the purchasers.
"Oh, yes, that's a mighty good
scheme for the newspapers.'" says
the nonprogressive merchant.
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.
If any one doubts it, let him
make a list of the most success
ful business men in Jiutler, and
then examine the papers to see if
they are not the mcpt liberal a<i
terlißtrt.

Rev. Conwell's Lecture.
The lecture of Rev. Kassell H. 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.

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.

Farmers, Here Is a Chance.
The Commercial Gazette, of Pitts
burg, is the friend of the farmer. It
favors relieving farmers of taxation
to the extent that corporations can
bear; in fact, it is the farmers' friend
in everything that is jußt and reason
able. The coming session of the
Legislature and Congress will be of
great interest to the agricultural
class, and all news of importance to
them will be found in the Wet/kit/
Commercial Gazette. Its market
reports are the authorities for buying
and selling in Pittsbnrg, where it is
recognized as such by all dealers.
Don't be without it. It will Bave
you annually many times the price ol
its subscription. Send for it at once.
