Th« late election in Canada turned on
the question of reciprocity with the United
States, asd those against it, the conserva
tives, seem to yet be in the majority, though
they lost eleven seats in Ontario and seven
in Quebec.
Ami a protracted struggle, continuing
over two months, John M. Palmer, the
Democratic nominee for 17. 8. Senator, be
fore the Illinois legislature, was elected
last Wednesday. The Republicans had
100 members the Democrats 101, and the
Alliance men 3, and on the 154 th ballot
two of the Alliance men voted with the
Democrats. Palmer started in politics as
a Democrat was a Republican during the
war, and was elected Governor of the State
as a Republican in 1868, but he went out
with Greely in 1872, and baa been in full
fellowship with the Democrats since.
Thi bill now before the Legislature re
garding the pollution of streams would
probably be declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court for the reason that it
makes exceptions in favor of the drainage
of coal mines and the sewerage of cities
and is therefore not general in its charac
ter, aa ia provided in the Constitution. If
it should peas, and beoame a law, and the
Supreme Court would not annul it the
half salt water and half oil wells of the
Hundred-foot fields would hare to be
plugged; and the large tanneries of the
northern part of the State would have to
be closed. The queetions of water supply,
drainage asd sewerage an very extensive
ones, and any laws regarding them should
spply impartially.

will be hung April 2d.
The Republicans of both branches of the
Legislature held a caucus Tuesday night
ana reeolved upon closer action.
In the House Monday. Mr. Seyfert of
Lancaster offered the following.
Whxsjlas, Tbe Hon. Thomas B. Reed,
of Maine, Speaker of the Fifty-first Con
gress, by his ruling on tbe formation of a
quorum, made vital the principle that Rep
resentatives in Congress were elected to
transact and not obstruct, delay and pre
vent tbe legislative affairs of the nation
and by his courage and firmness in enfor
cing his ruling, secured the passage of im
nortant and neoeuary measures;; therefore
be it
Rbsolvxd. That the House of Rep.
heartily indorsee the action of speaker Reed
and commends his course to be wise, states
manlike and patriotic and deserving the
thanks of the people.
This eaaaed a tumult but it was finally
adopted b7 a party rote.
Mr. Skinner, a leading Democrat from
Fulton Co, then offered tbe following.
Rxso&ra. That the course of our senior
United States Senator ia aiding to defeat
the Federal elections bill merits the cordial
and most hearty approval of this House.
Which tbe Republicans voted down.

w>>nin|ion notes.
Salisbury baa accepted Blaine's plan for
settling the Bering Sea dispute.
Among tbe law* passed by the late Con
gress was one for the erection of a new
mint in Philadelphia, but the friends of tbe
bill forgot to Uex tbe neeemry appropria
tion to it aad it therefore beoomes a
nollity. The Pbiladelphiane are mad abont
it and blame their Congressman.
Centre Twp. Items.
Mr. Alfred Brown is preparing to bnild

A Complete Success.
Brimstone School, conducted by W R.
Hockenbury, closed its winter term on
March 6th with a grand exhibition. Tbe
house was crowded to its utmost capacity
and the speakers all deserve praise for
their brilliant speaking and graceful ges
tures. We have not been to a better
entertainment for years; and altbongh it
was late we felt sorry when tbe farewell
hymn, "Shall we meet beyond the river,"
was sung, and we felt as though we would
like to meet for another entertainment be
fore long. It vu opened by a song of
welcome by the sebool. There were about
fifteen or twenty declamations and re
hearsals, and all did excellently.
Maggie Hijndman, a small girl, sang a
song entitled "Pirst love making," which
was very good, aad there were also four
dialogues which were very good. While
the scholars ware preparing for their plays,
Misses Jennie and Roee Stewart favored ns
with a duet. "Our way across tbe sea."
Tbe farewell hymn was then sung, and I
know that teacher and scholars will all
join with me and thank ns for our good
order. » Y. X.

DCrFT-MTMAB-SKDWICK SQUASH.
To the next square on same East side of
if»in street, we give the above name. The
firtt lot, on passing over alley from Mr.
Charles Duffy's store, might with properity
be given the name of Walker, as the late
David Walker, Esq. U said to have been
its owner within fifty years. But -our first
recollection of the person living on that
corner was the late Mr. Peter Duffy, and
as his son Charles is now its owner we give
it the name above.
Mr. Anthony Kockenstein with his tin
and hardware store is the present occupant
of this Duffy part of thia lot. Mrs. E.
Greib is owner and occupant of the next
pert, with her fine jewelry store on same.
Mrs. Julia Niggle is present owner and
occupant of remaining part. The late Mr.
Andrew Marshall,among others, was owner,
or lived at one time where either Mrs.
Greib or Mrs. Niggle now live.
The next and middle lot of this square is
the Doctor Neyman one. Fifty years ago
and more his mother with her family lived
in a small brick which stood where the
large one erected by the Doctor now stands.
The gable end of this small brick stood to
the street In it at one time it is said the
late Mr. Mark McCandless was there with
his shoe making shop. Mr. McCandless
afterwards removed to Cherry township
and is deceased bnt a few years ago.
Doctor Neyman has lived upon this lot for
60 years and more, and has made the
improvements which now constitute his
fine residence and office. It is one of the
lots that has bad bat few changes in owner
ship.
The next lot was generally know as the
gedwick lot. The late Joshua J. Sedwick
owned and lived upon the corner part at
least of thia lot He was a saddler by
trade and had his shop there. The post
office wes there for eight years, between
1861 and 1860, Mr. Sedwick having first
been appointed postmaster under President
T.inwnin and holding the office for two
terms. The people of the southern part of
the town thought it a good deal of hard
ship to heye to go that far for their mail
and when present Mr. F. M. Eastman was
appointed to succeed Mr. Sedwick. he
removed the office up to the room of present
George Beiber building, now occupied by
the "Ten Cent Store," where it was kept
until Mr. Eastman was suoceeded by Mr.
Thomas B. White, who removed it further
up, first to a small building that stood
where A. & H. Beiber grocery store now
stands, and shortly afterward to Cunning
ham street, rear of Troutman new building
and where the Herald is now published,
where Mr. White kept it during his term
in office, and where Miss Robinson who
succeeded him kept it until removed to its
present location in Doctor Byers' building.
So it will be seen the post office has been
moving southward and more towards the
center of population. Mr. Eastman is now
postmaster under a recent re-appointment
to the office.
The old Sedwick lot is now owned by
Mr. Charles Duffy and Mr. Sam Teun*
Hop has his Chinese Laundry there in the
corner part These Chinese names by tbe
way are queer and often made to spell like
English ones. "Sam" in this case is
peculiarly English, and "Hop" is a very
American word. However we have no
reason to doubt but that "3am Teung Hop''
came by hi* name honestly in China and
brought it over here in as good shape as he
could.
That part of the buildings on this lot
next to Doctor Neyman was the property
and residence of the late Rev. Mrs. Niblock,
who lived there until her recent death.
The first recollection we have of this part
was tbe living there of a Rev. Mr. Hilton
of the Episcopal Church. Afterward* the
late Mrs. James Bredin and family who
come from Carlisle, Pa. lived there for
some years. The present Rev. Mrs. Wil
liam White, Mrs. Elisabeth Porterfield,
Mrs. John Graham, Esq. and their brother
James Bredin, Jr. deceased, were members
of this family. In later years Ex-Sheriff
John Bcott and others lived there. This
is now the property of Mr. Charles Dnffy.
Mr. John H tide brand and Son have now a
moat shop in the front room whero Mrs.
Niblock might often been seen setting.
Another meat shop, that of Mr. Blymiller,
is between there and tbe laundry of Mr.
Bam Hop.
WALnKB—HASLKTT—PUBriAIfCE SQL*ARB.
On opposite aide of the street is the
square to which we give above name. The
late David Walker, Esq. father of present
Lewis P. Walker, Esq. owned the ground,
90 years ago, where now stand the store
lately occupied by Mr. Adam Trontman <t
Son, and the house, sjiop and office of
Jacob Keck, Esq. and the house and
saddlery shop of Mr. Joseph Kockenstein.
▲bout 1847 Mr. Walker erected on this
ground the block of buildings now standing
there. It was called Walker's Block, ex
tending from the corner of Mr Troutman
to the then residence lot of the late Hon.
Samuel A. Purviance, now Col. John M.
Thompson. When this block was erected
it was considered the largest and finest in
the then town. Mr. Walker bad enlarged
Mifflin street, then an alley, by adding 20
feet to same from his own grojnd. He
owned at that time the lots or ground on
Mifflin street, North side, down to where
he then lived, the present James Borland
property. This enlargement of Mifflin
made the corner lot more desirable as a
business place. The first store on this
corner we think was that of present Mr.
L. Stein and late Bernard Roessing. Then
the late James Campbell and present H. J.
Klinglar bad a store there. The late Mr.
Charles Wiseman was there with a jewelry
•tore and shoe shop. Following him were
Mr. Adam Troutman and Mr. George
Weber. Mr. Jacob Boos bought out Mr.
Weber and the firm became Troutman &.
Boo*, who kept store there until Mr.
Troutman purchased the interest of Mr.
Boos, since which time this corner became
and is now the property of Mr. Adam
Troutman It is now occupied by Messrs
Campbell k Templeton as a furniture store.
Jacob Keck, Esq is present owner of the
greater part ot the middle lot ol this
square. Mr Joseph Rockenstein is owner
or other part. Mr. Walker himself lived
for a time where Mr. Keck now is. The late
Hon. William Haslett lived there in part
of same for some yearn. His paper, "The
lf'hiy," was published for some years in
the upper story of what is now Esquire
Keek's merchant tailoring shop. Mr.
Haslett removed " The H'huj" there from
the south wing of the old (first) Court
House, where, about 1850, he published it
after leaving south end of town, spoken of.
"The Whig" continued to be published
there until changed into "T he Butler
American," also published by Mr. Haslett
for a number of years, between 1853 and
1864. About 1807 Mr Haslett established
another paper called "The I'resa ' which
he published a short time, when its
material'was sold by bim to the writer of
this, who in April 1860, had purchased the
"Citkbk," then called the "Amsbican
Citizkx." Mr. Haslett had been an active
journalist for near twenty years. As an
Editor he was able and wrote with a great
deal of elegance and clearness. As a man
he was a warm friend, liberal, generous
and open banded. He exercised a strong
political influence in the old Whig party
of this county and was sent to the State
Senate by that party,in 1849. In 1863 and
1864, he was elected to the House of the
Legislature by the ftepnhlican party. He
• >OTO . «„
I From the above It will be observed that |
about 1853 there was a change in name of j
newspaper*, the name of "American" be
coming fashionable about then' The rea
son for taking this name may be of interest
to some at present It arose from the
breaking np of the Whig party in 1852, and
the rise of the American party upon its
ruins. The cause of the breaking up of the
Whig party wa* the defeat of General Win
field "Scott, its candidate for President in
1852. And the cause of this defeat was
the abandonment by Whigs of their po
sition on the slavery question, then great
ly agitating the comtry. When they
nomin' ted Gen. Scott they put him upon
a "milk and water" platform on the slave
ry question. It was said at the time that
it was no better on that question than was
the Democratic party and platform. Tbi9
so disgusted the great mass of the Whigs
that thev became lukewarm and indiffer
ent, and the result was the defeat of Gen.
Scott and the election of Pierce the Demo
cratic candidate. Gen. Scott received the
votes of but four States, and the effect
was an immediate effort for the formation
of another partv to take the place of the
former great W'hig one. The name Amer
ican was given this new party. Just where
it was lormed. or how, or when, no body
seemed to know or could tell. It had a
secret feature in it as to membership, and
it spread "like wild fire" over the whole
Nation. Candidates of both and all par
ties rushed to get into it. Its meetings
were held in out of the way places and its
memoers were initiated in barns, sta 'les
and even in coal banks, as was said. They
would not acknowledge being members,
and if asked if they were their general re
ply was that they "knowed nothing about
it." Hence they came to be called
"Know Nothings" and the party the
"Know Nothing Party." But people,
tired of the old parties, joined it and it
swept nearly everv State in the Union dur
ing the year- 1853-4 and 5. It obtained a
majority in Coiigress, anu Governors anil
State rjid county officers were elected by
it during those three years. Some amus
ing things rijibt be told of its effects in
Butler ci.u .i -. <»n candidates. A Demo
cratic i-.r . • '•, ■ r iustanee, who had
qnietly jon.L. elected by nearly
2000 majoritv ov.-r .. s old Whig opponent
who had declined to join it, and a Whig
who had quietly joined it was elected by
about the same majority over his Demo
cratic opponent who refused to join it. It
began to break up in 1856 and the Repub
lican party rapidly arose in its place, gath
ering to itß ranks manv old Democrats who
were dissatisfied with the position of their
party on the slavery question. The name
"American" fjr papers began to drop on
with the dropping oat of the American
party, otherwise called the "Know Noth
ing Party." Its principles were hostility
to Catholic* and foreigners in general and
their holding office in particular.
Where Mr. Joseph Kockenstein has his
present fine saddlery shop, part of the old
walker block, were many stores within the
last 50 years. The first there we think
was that of a Mr. Orinond, followed by the
late Charles Wiseman,the late Sheriff John
Scott, and the late Campbell E. Purvianee,
Esq. Mr. Jacob Boos became owner of it
and lived and kept store there for a short
time. He probably purchased from Mr.
Wiseman and sold to Mr. Kockenstein, who
is present owner of this part of this square.
PCRVIAKCK LOT.
This brings us to the lot and former
residence of the late Hon. Samuel A.
Puiviance, no-r the residence of Col. John
M Thompson, who bought it of ilr.
Purvianee, about 1859. Mr. Purvianee
erected the large house standing there
about 1840. He also erected the office
there use 1 by him hb bis law office lor
many years. Col. John M. Sullivan was
a law partner with him between 184»> and
1853 Then Col. Thompson was partner
with Mr. Purvianee. They were followed
by Mr. Thompson and Hon. John 11.
Mitchell, present United States Senator
iron the State of Oregon. Mr. Mitchell
left here about 1800. Col. Thompson with
his son continued to practice law there
until they removed to the Diamond, where
tbey n.iw are. The office is at present oc
cupied by Doctor W. K. Titzel as his
medical office.
SAIILKL A. prRVIAKCE.
Much has been spoke:, aud written of the
Hon. Samuel A Purvianee since his death.
But no word of praise or encomium of him,
has ever been too great. He was a citizen
of Butler whom all respected,and all know
ing him will continue to respect his
memory. This respect arose from the high
character of the man, bis pure life, his
private integrity, his public services, and
his honorable bearing in all his intercourse
with liis fellow citizens Mr. Purvianee
was a good man. an honest man, and an
enterprising,useful citizen in and to Butler.
His charnct -r was appreciated by the
people and they made him their repre
tentative in the State Legislature, 1838
Previous. 1837, he was chosen a member of
the Convention to reform the State Con
stitution, which gave us the Constitution
of 1837-183 H. Then he was twice elected
to Congress, 1854 and 1856, serving with
credit and distinction. He was Attorney
General of the SUte for a time. When the
Slate Constitution was again reiorroed,
1872, 1873, he was sent as a delegate t >
that Convention by the people of Allegheny
County, in which he then resided. He
also filled other positions of trust and
houor. In political aud public aflairs ho
was always active and influential, in the
practice of his profession of the law lie
was always honorable. Asa man he was
always a gentleman, pleasant and agree
able. . _ ~
After serving his time .'n Congress Mr.
Purvianse removed from here to Allegheny
City, about 1859, where he practiced his
profession and lived until he died, ia Feb
ruary. 1882, in the 74th, year of his age.
tlAVIl) WALKKB, KS<j.
A ward is due to the memory of Mr.
David Walker who we have seen was
closely identified with this wjuare, build
ing all the house* upon it except the
Purviance, now Thompson one. Mr.
Walker was a plasterer by trade and also
carried on brick making. Ho was indus
trious, and about 1850 was one of the
largest property owners ol the town. He
was a Jurtice of the I'eace iu the town for
a time. When he left the house he lived in,
below Klingler's mill, and now the property
of Mr. James Borland,as stated, bis brother,
the late Mr. Nathaniel Walker, went to
live there and also carried on brick making
there Mr. Nathaniel Walker »»< the
father of our present Cant. Samuel Walker
and Clarence Walker, Lsq. Shortly after
this the project of building the ill fated
North Western Kailroa.l began, about 1853,
anil Mr. David Walker undertook the con
tract of excavating the deep aDd long cut
on same about a mile or two west of town.
This Kailroad enterprise was unfortunate
ana fell through, about 1855, involving Mr.
Walker in its iailnre to su«h an extent as
to result in the loss of all his property
here. He retnmed to and worked at his
trade until the war of the late Rebellion
broke out. when, 1861, he accompanied
the Butlb. boys, Company IJ. of the 7Hth
Regiment, to KentueUj' and Tennessee.
Here he was in charge of the sick in the
hospitals and was otherwise attentive to
and useful to the soldiers. He was a
charitable man and always good and
liberal toward* the poor. He died while
in tiie army,at Howling (ireen, Kentucky,
in 1802, in the 59th year of his age. His
remains were brought home here lor
interment.
