THE Philadelphia Timet thinks that the •Michigan farmer who went to Philadelphia after "green goods'' was fortunate in being allowed to go home without standing trial for his attempt to engage in counterfeiting.

PLAXS tor the government buildings at the Chicago Exposition have been completed in Washington. The buildings,which will be nearly square, will cover nearly 130,000 square feet, and have a main entrance and ornamented arcade re sembling the Arc de Triompbe at Paris. In the middle a handsome, pagoda-like tower will rise, beneath which will be a great rotunda. The building will cost $400,- 000, and $1,000,000 will be spent on the ex hibition and in its annexes.

The Coinage Committee of the House de cided by a vote of 8 to 4 to report the free coinage bill adversely, which will probably end the silver agitation for this session of Congress. The Committee came to this conclusion after hearing all that Congress man-elect Jerry Simpson of Kansas bad to say. Jerry is one of these fellows who wants the government to estimate the amount of silver in all the hills of the country, and issue note* for it, and if that is not enough to add the silver in the linings of the elonds. The silver-pool investigating committee reported to the House, Wednesday, and Cameron is the only member of Congress named. The House was in a tumult again last Saturday. The Speaker counted a quorum on going into committee of the whole, and tbo Democrats got mad and wanted t» fight. Mr. Spinola of New York became excited that he marched up and down the uisles with a paper "chip" on his shoulder, daring any Republican to knock it off. Congress must adjourn next Wednesday, and a* considerable work is yet to be done, the House resolved on Monday to go into continncus session until the hour for ad journment arrives. This rule was edopted in consequence of the fass made over the reading of the journal the previous Satur day. The Women's National Council is hold ing itr third meeting in Washington, this week. The topics to be debated are mainly concerning temperance and church work. Tbo President's nomination ofex-Oov. Foster as Seo'v of the Treasury was con firmed by the Senate Tuesday. The Direct Tax bill, which refunds to th# states the amount* at.-essed and col lected frouj them for war purposes i n 1861, pa«»ed the House, and as it has already passed the Senate it will probably become a law. The bill refunds about seventeen millions in all and Pennsylvania will se cure nearly two millions. Tho Washington correspondent of the Phil'tt rrr-H* says lliat Cainrrr.n made a desperate effort Lu prevent tho t-onfiroia liou of Foster's appointment as Sec'y of the Treasury that he and Senator Butler, ol aoath Carolina, went around soliciting v«tos against it, and that be made a speeeb in executive session agaiuat it, iu v bii-h he '-whinyd like a baby," and de clared tbat Mr. Foater was ' "personally objectionable to him," and that "it was due to him as au act of courtesy that Footer sh»'uid be rejeoted."

C. j Harrisburg Motes. Thursday last was a field day on the Bnrdick bill. The Corporation committees of the House and Senate held a joint session in the Supreme Court room, and were ad dressed against the bill by several members of the Standard Oil Co, and for it by ex- Senators Lee and Emery. Senator Neeb's bill providing for private executions in penitentiaries was defeated. Representative Williams has introduced a bill which provides that any person per forming labor of any kind of furnishing materials fur, upon or about any drilling, pumping or producing oil or gas well shall have the right to bring suit in assumpsit against any joint owner, joint tenant or tenant in common holding an interest in and operating such well to recover the pro rata share due for any labor done or materials furnished, and that the interest of such joint owner, etc., shall be subject to levy and sale upon any execution issued to enforce collection of any claim under this act after judgment obtained by due process of law. The same right of action is prescribed for one joint owner aganst another whose pro rata expense he may have borne. The bill is approved of by oil producers. Senator Showalter's little son Joe died at the Locbiel Hotel last Friday, of spinal disease, and the family came home with the remains on Saturday. After hearing the arguments on the Burdick pipe-line bill, last week, the Cor porations Committee agreed to report it with a negative recommendation. The Burdick bill got another black eye Wednesday, when the Senate Committee reported againat it. It is probably "kill- The Ship Canal Commission has an un expended balance of J1,500 which will likely be spent in printing th« reports. Secretary Eben Brewer says that when the canal ia completed more tonage will pass through it than through the Suez canal. Private capital is ready to build the canal, but if it is to be a benefit to the country it must not be a priyate affair. The State or Uncle Sam should own it. The medical profession of the whole State is much interested in the medical examiners bill and the medical education bill which are under consideration by the Judiciary General Committee, at Harris burg. The old school physicians, or "allo paths," as they are generally called, favor the examiners bill, while the homoeopaths and "eclectics'' are united on the educa tional bill. On Monday, the members from the oil country were the recipients of many tele grams and petitions regarding the pipe-line bill, and it was reported that the majority of the oommnnications were against the bill. The petitions from Butler county showed a divided sentiment with the ma jority in favor of the bill. The decision of attorney General Hensel that married women are yet under legal disability to avail themselves of the gener al corporation act of 1874 calls for legisla tive relief. Tho issue was raised by the application of members of the New Century Club Philadelphia for a corporate charter, and the Attorney General has decided that the married wonians' act of 1887 does not confer such rights upon women under cover ture. Tuesday was a busy day lor the com mittees. The House Judiciary Committee heard arguments on the anti-discrimina tion bill and reported it, and it also report ed the Medical examiners bill favorably: the Ways and Means com. amended the liquor bill to the effect tbat one half the fees go to the county and one half to the district,the Educational Com. negatived tbe educational convention bills; the ap propriations Com. beard arguments on the state charities, and the House Committee on Counties and Townships bad the road bill under discussion to-day and amended it in several ways. The road master pro vision was stricken out and the supervisors provided for iu the bill are to no their work at $1.50 a day. The term "road engineer'' was changed to "county survey or.'' The Secretary of Internal Affairs will not have to furnish a draft of roads as was in the first bill. Aliens may bo employed if they are taxpayers. The age limit is stricken ont aud surveyors will not get mileage. The committee to investigate the Book Trust will meet in Philadelphia to day and the leading educational officers in atr tendance there at tbe National Educational Convention will likely meet the Sergeant at-Arms, who will kindly request them to appear before tbe committee and tell what they know of a trust. This will apply to officials from other States. Mr. EU wood, a member of the committee, said that their investigation so far had brought out the opinion that the State should not publish the text books, but that each district should supply them oat ol its school fund. Considerable flurry was created in the House when it was noised abroad that Fow, of Philadelphia, had returned from Pittsburg armed with an array of figures against giving an appropriation of $W?,000 to the Western Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of tbe Deaf and Dumb at Edgcwood. Ho had figures to show that the institution had in 1889 invested in mortgages $35,000, and in 1890 $20,500. These figures, he thought, were all out of place.

Recollections of Butler; or Fifty Years Ago. (Continued.) M'LACGHI.I!»-HiAZ!KB-UOYD BQCAKh. Ma. EDI ION Continuing on sam* East side of Main street from last square we I come to the one we will call by the above ' name. If we gave it the name of th« 1 George Vogeley and George Reiber square ' no doubt our present citizens would more I readily recognize it. But we have to keep j in mind that we arc giving our reoolleo- j t-.uns years sjr<», and coutms'iug *»i.r p- .iu . tty j years ago where now stand* the well j known cigar factory and tobacco shop of Mr George Vogeley stood a rather neat frame house, owned and occupied by the late Dunlap McLaughlin, Esq. And who was Dunlap McLaughlin? many will ask. Dunlap McLaughlin wits a son of the late Mr. Hugh McGlaugbliu who lived in his dar at the North West comer of Cunning ham and Mckean streets, and was a brother of the late Mr. John B MeGlaugh lin, who was a Sheriff of this county, elect ed in 1839, aud of the late Mr. James Mc Glaughliu. who was a Prothouotary of the county, elected in 1845. Dunlap their younger brother, was District Attorney of the county uetweeu those above two dates, appointed in 1842. So it will be seen that fifty years ago they must have been a family of some importance. James was one of the founders. 1842, and early publishers of the present Democratic Hcrahl and was a man of very consider able influence and of many good tra.ts John B. after being Sheriff removed down into now Clinton Twp. and died there not manv years ago. Dunlap it will be noticed was a member of the Bar. It will also be noticed that be dropped a letter (G) out of his name, that the others always retained. Whether he did this from choice or for convenience in writing his name we do not know, but as he was not a very expert pensman and as the G is a pretty hard letter to make, some said it was to pave the labor writing it. In person he was a tall, slim man. somewhat stooped, of good moral character and genttemanly in deportment During his time as District Attorney Mohawk the Indian was tried. After sell ing to George Vogeley. 1852, he bought of late Samul M. Lane the property now the residence of W. D. Brandon, Esq. and family. About same time he had an inter est in the Orphans Elonieproperty. About 1855 Mr. MeLanghlin became engaged with the late lion. Alfred Gilinore. Mr. A. if. Meylert, uad others in the purchase ol same coal lands in the eastern part of the State, to where shortly a ter he removed, lie died in Philadelphia in 1860. He was one of the i connection with what we now call a restaurant,oysteis aud refrefbnients being tho specialties. From this small beginning he rapidly iu creased iu means aud soon went into that of the hardware business, heretofore spokeu of. lie waß knowu as a strictly correct business man and we do not know of any on/ coining here who prospered so speedily in business. He at one time, we think, owned where present Stehle toy store is and where present Kockenstein building is. At the time of his death, 1884, he was the owner of various valuable properties in the town and the farm, north of town about a mile, on Mercer road, ami perhaps others, In 1875 he erected the present large brick on lot we are now speaking of, the lower part used as a hardware store and the upper rooms for offices. The middle lot of this square is tue prop erty of present Mr. Andrew Miller. The frame house on it, next to the Berg hard ware store and now occupied by Mrs. Marks and daughters for their millinery store, was built by Mr. Miller. The "'rick there was built, we believe, by the late Mr. David H. Potts, at least he lived and had his shoe making shop there between 1830 and 1840. Dr. James Graham was the next person we recollect of there and who became owner and lived in this brick. Mr. Miiler became owner afterwards aud bad a brewery there until in late years Dr. .lames Graham came from Ireland and besides practicing his profession here he taught school in town. His first school was kept in the bouse immediately oppo site the present rink building on McKcan street, between 1830 and 1840. Wo were ot.« of h! pupils. He brought with him from the •'old country'' some of the ojd methods of school teaching. One of ihe-c was the use in his school of Law-, oiher wi.-e called "cat of nine tails,"' us a whip or iii.-irumeu' of punishment for the bad boy. These Ur/s were composed of a round wooden ban die, about a foot long, something rebuilding ft rolling pin, and io one end of which was tacked nine leather straps of about three feet in length. 0u the end of each of these nine leather st.u| s was a knot. This was his whip, aud it hung upon the wall of the school room as a warning to all scholars to beware of its use He frequently did u*e it, and some time# with terrific force and effect, rnak ing the offender to fairly jump up every time the "cat o'nine talU" would descend upon him. To u-e such a school whip now would likely enhance interest iu the debated question of the use of any corporal punishni'-nt in our present schools. Dr. Graham afterwards taught in the old But ler Academy. In person lie was short but heavy set, fat and fussy, ai.l quite strong, as anv of his pupils who had nuy experi ence with bis "cat o' nine tails" could tes tify. Ho was very fond of reading novels anil would borrow and read all the lr>oks of romance he could get. He died about 1H43. in the brick house we have been tell inp about, being found dead 111 his beil one morning His habits were unfortunate in respect to the use of strong drink, hut he was regarded as a very leaned nan and bad always a quite extensive practice as a physician. He had no children. U:s widow survived him a long time. Hvjfc/ in the house opposite the present rink. i!e v. as in no way related to our present Dr. Sauiirt'l (iraham or any of our other Gra hao! people. The next lot of thin square is uow the property of Mr. George Kcib- i. On the Main street part of it now are tin jusiuesa places of the Smith Bros." restaurant, the W. M. Sickle Ten Ceut Store, aiid thu Jarecki Manufacturing Co. On the corner where is tho Jarecki Co. stood, fifty years ago, a brick in which the late Mr. Jemes Frazier and his son, tho late Isaiuh 3k'. Frazier. kept a dry goods and general store. It was a three storied building and the first persons we recollect of doing business m it were the Messrs. Fraziers mentioned. Mr. Isaiah N. Frazier kept the postoflice there for a term that he held that office. About 1845 the lot upon which it and tho others shove mentioned stood was purchased by the late Air. William S. Boyd. Mr. Boyd tore away the old build ings upon it and erected another and lurger three-storied brick there, which lie had ready for business and went into in 1848, his family moved into pari of it also in 1849. On this comer would :hn~ seem to have been the first three-storied building iu the town. The one built by Mr. Boyd, however, did not remain lone, for in about ten years after, 1851>. it was burned down. Then lie erected, 1801, the present two storied one which has since been enlarged and had other buildings attached to it ou Jefferson street by Mr. George Keiber. Between ihe date of its building, 1848, and burniug down, 1859, there wejre several persons associated with Mr Boyd in the drug and groc-ry business on that corner. The late Mr. Samuel Marks was with him in 1848, going with hint there from the Dougal corner. Mrs Marks, his widow, with her da .ghters are now liviug a few doors above on this same square. She is a daughter of late Mr. Jamei. Frazier men tioned above and one of the name* we cht-0.-e to cull this square by. In 1852 the lat< Mr. Albert 0. Boyd was iu partuei'liip with his Iroih r William tbere iir Jweph Far .art was wi: h hitti there for a white. Preset!i Mr Jat.i*s Dunlup was contw e.i wi'h Mr Boyd to business tl re. Mil.

Mr. Cheesman. we be- ! lieve, went or was with Mr. Boyd after be i went to the Frazier corner. Mr. Samuel Marks »as also with the Messrs. Boyd at the Dougal corner while business was car ried on there. And here we wish to make a correction as to the business first done bv Win. S. and Henry N. Boyd at the Dougal corner. We have spoken of it as being that of a grocery and restaurant. This last one was an error, a slip of the pen. and should have been drug instead of restaurant. We probably fell into the error from recollecting of Mr. Wm. S Boyd inviting some friends into his store and furnishing them with "cheese and crack ers " Bnt be and bis brother Uenry never kept anything like the modern restaurant. They were both men of good works and of high moral character. Our attention has been called to the error by a daughter of Henry X. Boyd, Mrs. Julia Evans, widow of the late Wm. V. Kvans, Esq., of Tarentum. Pa., where Mrs. Evans is yet living. She is favorably remembered here as Miss Julia Boyd and it gives us pleasure to make the correction referred to. She states that the third story rooms of the first building erected by her uncle, Wm. S. Boyd, on this corner were occupied by the first Good Templar's Lodge ol Butler. When Mr. Wm S. Boyd quit business there he sold out his merchandise to Mr. George Weber and Mr. Adam Trout us an, and at a later date he sold the building to Mr. George Keiber, the present owner. The date of Mr. Boyd's death has been given before. Mr. Henry N. Boyd died bere August 4, 1845. Mr. Samuel Marks died in Freeport, Pa ,in 1881. Mr. James Frazier died here in 1839. His son Isaiah died in Xew V» ilmington, Pa., about 1873. OLIVER OA YIP—BCOTT—MCKEB SGCABK. To the square on opposite side of the street from la-t one we give the above name. Like all the original squares it had three lots, which in early days were generally owned by three different persons. The late"Mr. Oliver David owned the upper one, the late Robert Scott, Esq., the middle one and the late Hugh McKee, Esq., the lower one. Where the Pape store and tho two Grieb ones now stand were store and house of Mr. David. Our first recollection of Mr. David is in his keeping a store where the Pape one now is. His store was the largest one in Butler for many years. It was a general store, dry goods hardware, queen*ware, and almost every other kind of ware. He did an extensive business, and this corner became noted for the number of persons keeping there and changes made in firms after bim. The first partner Mr. David had there was the late Mr. Samuel M. Lane, who came to Bntler from Huntingdon county, about 1832, and about 1833 became connected with' Mr. David under the firm name of David r is Hi .g here now. Feb 2">, I*9l. J. H. V. U r ixiTHS.
