The natives of Butler county living in Bearer Falls and vicinity met at the Opera House there on Thursday evening, Janua ry 22d, at 7 o'clock, p.m. The meeting, after being called to order had a lew remarks from A. 8. Moore. Est], followed by an address to God by Rev. M. I. Sleppy, who then acted as Chairman for the balance of the evening and at once seated the particular friends from a dis tance, then the neighbors and then the emigrants that hai located at the Falls. Every one present was accomodated with a good, fancy, old fashioned Butler county supper. Xine kinds of cake, seven kinds of preserves, a hearty (itd less you, closing with pumpkin pie and hot buckwheat cakes. Two tables, one at each side of hall, comforably seated about 12.") persons, and the never tiring waiters kept these tables running constantly until all were fed. It was a very pleasant occasion. The appetite was sharpened by good hu rnor and music, aud satisfied by as good food as the world can produce. Bev. Sleppy looks well and is not too holy to enjoy chicken or fun. Jas. Piper and Mark Weisner were in their glory; W. H. Mar tin—the old sign post of the camp meet ing—looks yonnger than he did eight years ago. He sat in the front seat and en joyed it all. One leg of D. C. Ayres was there, the other is chasing the ribels yet. Thompson McKinncy is good looking and had the manly kindness to introduce me to his good wife who was once a pupil in my school. C. C. Sullivan and John A. I>odds appeared to work at the wheel, and both tried to get on the lead side. They are both good looking men and if they should die without doing any terrible thing like Delameter, I would like to have their pictures. We were told that John A. Dodds con ceived the thought of having this reunion, and he was re-elected President, and will have another meeting n#xt year. When the thing is patented it will bo known as "The Butler County Sat sage Stulfer and Soul Eipander," [Unliaited.] W. M. Ray looks well but still laughs on Sunday. The fact is the colony is loyal to the name of Butler county and is pros perous and happy. Dtrshiiner furnishes music for the children *nd Henry Purvi ance furnishes them with shoes and both have more than they can do. Bryson told me that after spending a fortune hunting for a better world he come back to Xew Brighton. While tho last table was being served Rev. Sleppy, who was my comrade in Pat terson's charge at Bull Run, introduced ine to my old friends. I spoke for some time on those high and lofty subjects of Soil, Climate, Natural Selection, Original Sin and Political Corruption until I was exhausted, at this point Greer was only half done eating. After music, the audience waited until Greer had finished supper when he was in troduced and furnished much amusement in the relating of old Butier county histo ry, aud many jokes peculiar to the land of Buckwheat cakes. ~ Esquire Piper, A. S. Moore and many others made short speeches and the happy crowd adjourned after three cheers for But ler county and the singing of Auld Lang Syne,to meet again next year. SIMKOK NIXON.

A Progressive Religious Journal. The Pittsburg < kroniele- Telegraph, I»ec. j 2»3th.. has the following to say about the i I'rcsbyterian Banner. "The pr< g 0 s of religious journalism a demonstrated by the Presbyterian Banm r of Pittsburg, is worthy of note. It was started July sth, 1*14," at ChillicoLbe.Ohio, the headquarters of the northwest territory in those days, where resided many families of high social and religions intelligence. There Rev. John Andrews issued the lir>t number of the Banner on the plan which religions newspaper are now published in this country. Here was the hrst religious newspaper published in tho United States, or in tact, in the world.there being no snch religion* publications in Europe up to that time. The very first number of this journal contains religious, literary, civil and general intelligence on the same plan now adopted by the religions press of to-day. It was removed to Pittsburg in 1821, where it has been published ever since. The new offices in the Bank of Commerce Building, which have just been completed and elegantly furnished, are ia keeping with the dignity of the Banner. For the past 20 years the paper has been under the present management of Jas. Allison <fc Co. It is progressive in the full sense of the term. It is fearless in the exposure of evil, and as a religious news-gatherer it is thorough and far-reaching, having special correspondents in all parts of the world. Not content with the good work done, the Banner is making progress every year, aud whatever improvements the age develops, the Banner is ever ready to take hold. There is scarcely a village or hamlet where it is not read, and no Presbyterian family is complete without it. The Pennsylvania Tours to California. The wonderful popularity of the Penn sylvania tours to the Golden Gate is bes* illustrated by the fact that the full cum plemcnt of passengers for the first, starting on February 7th. registered six weeks be fore the date of the tour. The space in the first train being all taken engagements are now being mode for the remainder of the series. The second tour, fixed for March 3d, if an exceedingly desirable one, on account of the intere -ting ront traversed, as well by reason of the fact that its members are in California at what may consider the most delightful season of the year. Eastern peoyle who desire to see the Golden Coast in its most attractive garb conld not choose a more desirable opportuniuty. Names are being registered very rapidlv for tho second tour, and those who wish to make their going certain should apply at once for tickets. The magnificently appointed train, pres enting all the comlorts of home or hotel, is not the least conspicuous feature of these great transcontinental trips.
