some one threw a large rock through the

ting him badly. The stone is about six
inches in diameter, and weighs six or eight
pounds, and tbe intention was evidently to
kill hiui. There is some ground for sus
pecting one man, but no evidence has yet
been secured to prove bis guilt.

man with whom Kreps baa lately bad some
trouble, was arrested for tbe crime, and
wili have a hearing to-day.

—One hundred and ten men went into a

—A big Boston hardware manafactuiing

wants about 10 acres in some place where
we can use natural gas for foe). The
people down about Sboustown are banking
heavily on that new well of theirs, but I
don't know whether it will last or not.
There is a very good location offered down
there, and if we can be satisfied on the gas
question we may take it"
—A Washington Co. man has invented a
novel reamer for oil-wells. Tbe tool is
really a pair of reamers held apart by a
powerful spring. The tool is attached to
the stem just like a bit, and when it
reaches the bottom of the casing the spring
will force tbe pair ot reamers apart to tbe
required sise, and they are then operated
like tbe ordinary reamer. By tbe use of
the tool a well can be drilled and only one
string of casing used. This means tbe
saving of two strings of caring in tbe deep
drilling district and also that deep drilling
will be less expensive than heretofore on
this account.

The Firemens' Inning.
The Fireman's concert held on Thursday
night at the Opera House was a fitting
termination to the most successful contest
of a like nature ever held in this vicinity.
The first day of the year opened the con
test between four ladios representing the
four companies of the fire department and
at 4 o'clock on the 22d the affair closed,the
result being as follows.
Miss Minnie Frazier, for the Campbell,
$1215.04.
Miss Lottie Sink, for the Good Will,
•1177.28.
Miss Stella Pape, for the First "ward,
$957 39.
Mrs. W. C. McCandless, for the Spring
dale, $100.75. Total $3450.46.
Miss Frazierjthus takes the piano, and
each of the hose companies gets $898.78,
which certainly speaks most highly for the
efiorts of the contestants and the liberality
of our people. Miss Sink took the second
prize of SSO.
The concert was a SUC-COSM. The Germa
nia was there in full forco, and Lou Voge
ly, Gns Wickenhagen and Leon Dondag
covered themselves with glory by their
solo work on cornet, clarinet und trom
bone. Miss Mury Ay res recited "The
La.tt Leap" iu her u»ual and classical man
ner, Miss Bawk did well in Helps
Things Along," and Grace l'rugh recited
"Kaanan's Charge" excellently. The vo
cal solos were by Misu Josie Keiseman,
Mrs. Chas. Hetr, Mrs. Anderson and Miss
Kitts, and daets by Mrs. It. P. Scott aud
Mrn. Colbert and Mitts Maine and Mr. Ardie
Pape, the latter being especially admired.
Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Colbert and Mrs. Christy
sang a trio, The Violet. Miss Ella Camp
bell,one of our most accomplished players,
rendered a piano solo which was mont en
joyable.
Messrs. Martin and Hindman acted a
character sketch and amused everyone,and

past.

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.

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.
For itineraries and tickets apply without
delay to Geo. W. Boyd, Assistant General
Passenger Agent, Philadelphia, or Tourist
Agents Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
