Harrisburg Notes. In tbe Houae Thursday, the Cumpulsory education bill was debated, and a free school books amendment was tacked on to it In- tbe Senate tbe bill giving Slippery rock Academy *O,OOO was reported fcvor ably. and tbe read hill was debated. One of tbe remit* of the discussion of the ballo. reform bill was as increase in tbe sentiment for a New Constitutional Convention. In the House, Friday, a motion was made to make tbe Free Text Book bill a special order, a lively debated ensued ud the motion was defeated. The Worlds Fair hill and the bill forbidding women to ap pear.iM Aage in tights were reported favorably. In the Senate a large numbers of peti tions favoring anti-discrimination legisla tive were read, and anite a number of new bills were introduced. The Master of the state Grange was in Harrisburg Tuesday working up a senti ment in favor of TaggarU Tax Bill. Neeb» bill allowing druggists to sell soda-water and cigars on Sunday passed the Senate finally that day. On Wednesday the House wrestled with the Jtevenue bill for five hours and only succeeded to disposing of eight of the ■ twenty-three sections. It was estimated that the revenues of fortheooming two years would amount to thirteen millions while the appropri ations asked for now aggregate twenty seven millions. Clearfield Twp. Items. Miss Nannie Turner has the measles. . Mr. W. 8. Fennell of Rattigan has the measles ia bis family. Mr. Hugh Green of Coylesville is mail carrier now. Mr. Thos Dipner, Jr. was home a lew weeks ago. Mr. Hugh Burke intends going to Wild Wood the coming spring. Messrs Samuel Milligan and John L. Dipner, came home from Westmoreland county, where they bad been engaged for some time in the erection of a barn. Mr. Milligan, though very busy, found time to pay Brady school a visit. Mr. John Minteer of West Franklin twp. Armstrong county, died at the residence of his father dn Sunday mqjping, March 14. He had boon sick for the past two years; and though seeking medical aid from va rious point*, it proved to be of no avail. The friends have our sympathy in their great bereavement. Mr. Rank ins will soon have his new house oa his new farm completed. The measles are rapidly gaining ground in our end of the township. It is feared that they mar spoil the attendance of Home of our schools. The members of McKee's Chapel contem plate the erection of a new house of wor ship, or a perfect renovation and repairing oftheoldone. We think the new one would be preferable to the repairing of the old one, if the members can agree among themselves, end the fnnds raised necessa ry for the erection of it. We think that t here are many good Methodists in other placet who would be willing to aid their " weaker brethern in the erection of a suita ble house of worship, if they were but in formed of the needs of the congregation. Some of our young iolks attend the Lit erary at Kattigan. It is said to be well attended. Thus Car we have not been able . to attend any of them, however much we should like to. Mr. Jamee Martin is quite low with pneu monia at present. It seems that he has a bard time, he is ju«t getting over the mea . ales. We hope he shall be able to get ont soon. Our roads are in bad condition in many places, owing almost wholly to tbe fact that tbe drainage ia very poor. Tbe roads at Fenelton have been almost impassible at frequent times during the winter. It is tbe earnest wish of all our citizens that tbe re-elected Supervisors may commence this season of roadmaking with renewed vigor; and that they will greatly improve ' upon the work done last year. Let us all rally around our Supervisor; and say a good word. It will help bim along. The schools, so for as we know, are do ing good work, and tbe citizens seem well satisfied with tbe "Irish and German" teachers. It is most earnestly hoped by * the friends of our common schools that our worthy Directors will not stop with the importation of tbe so-called foreign teach . ers, but that they will continue in the way in which they bave started, and proceed to furnish cur school bouses with comfort able seats and desks; also maps, charts ami other apparatus r.coessary to the oomfcri and welfare of our boys and girls. Tbe fact that OM of tbe members of our school board was re-elected with a sweep ing majority at the recent elec tion sufficiently attests the popular ity of the more which they have taken; and we are assured that all they need to increase their popularity is to faithfully perform the functions of their office, and do what seems to tbem right,re gardless of tbe opposition confined to a certain class, whom, to say the least, we, tbo people of Clearfield twp. are far from being proud <*• May our directors watch word ever be "Progress."

Sirs, Teacher. , The New Orleans Lynching. Several months ago, Chiet Hennessy 01 the New Orleans police force took meas ures towards suppressing the Crimea com mitted by a secret society among the Ital ian population of the city, known as the Mafia and which had held a certain quarter of the city in terror. For this he was doomed by the society and was waylaid and shot down by assas sins concealed in a shed, as he was pass ing. Nineteen of the members of the society were arrested for complicity in the murder, they have been on trial daring the pant month and one after another were either acquitted, or the juries disagreed. On Friday of last week a jury brought in a verdict of acqnital in favor of six of the gang, who were tried together, and disagreed as to three others. Reports of the jury being tampered with were freely circulated, two men were accused of bribe ry and were indicted, and that night se cret meetings were held all over the city. Next day, in response to a published notice several thousand citizens met at the Clay Statue, and were addressed by one o' the leading attorneys and one of the leading tnsineus men of the town,and then they marched to the prison where the Ital ians were yet confined and surrounded it Beams and crowbars had been provided for battering down the doors, and they were battered down, and then some fifty men, who were armed, searched the corridors and cells of the prison and killed eleven of the Italians, the others saving themselves by concealment in odd nooks. The people then, at the instance of the leaders quietly dispersed and went to their homes, though the blood of one of the men accused of tampering with the pry was loudly called for. The whole affair was over in an hour or The members of the Cotton Ex change met that afterncon and justified the action taken by the people that morn ing and the Stock Exchange met and ex pelled one of its members,who was a mem ber of the jury that acquitted the Italians, and he, fearing violence left the city. The was on© of th© most remarks ble that has ever happened in this coun try and ic resembles the outburst in Cm cinnati of a few years ago, and must have been brought about by an administration of the law, infamousi beyond the compre hension of one at this distance. The crime for which the nine Italians had been on trial was the assassination of Chief of Police David on the night of October 15 last. The Italian poj> ulation of New Orleans numbers about 10,- 000, and for some years the city has been cursed with murderous societies organized among them, known as the Mafia, the nameof aSicilian band of assassins. There were rival gangs In the New Orleans Italian population, which carried on their ven dettas, and shot and carved up each other at pleasure. As they operated chiefly on each other there was no determined effort made to break up the dangerous practice Finally Chief Hennessy resolved to break up the murderous gangs. He secured evi dence against the leaders and October 22 was set as the date of the trial. The mur derers immediately banded together and shot him down as he was returning to his home on the night of the 15th of October. One of the chief causes of public mdigna Hon in connection with the Mafia trial has been the belief that tbe society depended on bribery to secure tbe relase of the ac cused. It has been asserted that #75,000 or *IOO,OOO was contributed by Italians all over the country to be used as a corruption lund. Thousands of dollars, it was said, came from Chicago, New York and other cities where the Italians are congregated in large numbers. It is certain that the poor Italian laborers of New Orleans and vicin ity were taxed 12 a piece as a contribution to the defence fund, and that there was no lack of money in the treasury of the society. The leading newspapers of New Orleans justify the affair as follows. The Times-Democrat says: The people of New Orleans, having vin dicated the majesty of the law in one short hours time and with such temperance a« the ugly work to be done would admit of, will also, of course, restore to the sworn officer* aud ministers of the law their authority usurped for so brief a while. Thus doing, they will convince both friends and enemies that theirs was no desire to interfere in tbe least with the established order of things: but only to oust an evil element that threatened to mar the sym metry of that order. Our justification was necessity: onr defense is self-preservation, Nature's primal law. The Picayune says: Yesterday the people of this city roue in wrath and indication at the corruption and perversion of the machinery to which was delegated the administration of jus tice. They didn't overwhelm and sweep away the officials, but, brushing them aside they took in their own hands the Bword of jastice, and they did not lay it down until they had executed vengeance upon the criminals whom the corrupt ministers of justice bad excused and set free. This time the dreadful sword was nottnrned upon the perverters of the law, but upon the viola tors. But the suggestion is most siguifi cant, the warning is terrible. Let those who have made necessary this dreadful ex pression of the popular right and the pop ular will tremble lest worse befall them. The States says: Citiiens of New Orleans, you have in one righteous upheaval, in one fateful gust of mighty wrath, vindicated your laws, heretofore desecrated and trampled under foot by oathbound aliens who had thought to substitute murder lor justice and the suborner's gold for the freemans, honest verdict. Your vengeance is consecrated in the forfeited blood of tho assassins. The affair has created a sensation all over the civilised world. The Italian col onies of New York, Chicago and other cities have appealed to their home govern ment, and President Harrison and Secreta ry Blaine have been flooded witb dispatches regarding it. It is claimed that three of the lynched Italians were citizens of Italy, which, if true, may lead to some interna tional complications. Saxonburg Items. The wind of last week did considerable damage here. Mr. Henry Sefton of near Saxonburg was buried last week at the Clinton U. P. cemetry. Mr. Phil Cooper lost another of his draft horses recently. John Nickel who has been lying in New York City with typhoid fever returned home this week. Oust Obi moved to his now home in Sarversville last Tuesday where be will resume his trade.

STEVKSSOS-MILLKR-RRF.P SQUARE. P&ssingover North street and continuing down west side of Main is the square we give the above name. Within our recol lection from North down to the old limit of the Boro, now Penn street, was known as the "Gilmore Meadow." Some citizens yet living can recollect when the cows were turned into pasture at the corner where now is the Acme Candy and Con fectionery store of Mr. David Scott. The lot on this corner fifty years ago was the property of the late Mr. Abraham Steven »on, who about that time built the house now standing there, embracing the Ilaslett part, now owned and occupied by the heirs of the late Hon. William Haslett. Mr. Stevenson sold it all to the late Mr. "W il liam Miller and from Mr. Miller came the Haslett part. The corner part now oc cupied by Mr. David Scott, became in recent years the property of the late Mr. Thomas Stehle, and is now the property of his daughter, Mrs. Aland. The late Mr. William Miller owned also tbe middle lot of this square. He was a cabinet maker and had bis shop and carried on that business in tbe buildings there until bis death, about ISPO. He was succeeded there by his son, present Mr. William F. Miller, who had his cabinet making shop there until recr-ntly. This lot and buildings are now the property of the heirs of Mr. Miller and are at present occupied as boarding and eating houses. The nt ~' Int is that of present Genl. George V. vt! »n which is his comfort able ri--i.. ;■ ■■ •• nl. Heed bought this about 1839, m. ! I" : t and moved there in 1840* now more than 50 years ago. He also bought the adjoining lot of next square, now owned and lived upon by Mr. Alfred AVisk. Here he built and bad his saddlery shop from about 1850 to 13G1. Previously he had bis shop in places here tofore mentioned and after-wards in about same places. In 1863 hff ceised working at his trade and has lived since then in his present home. GENERAL REEI). All things considered Genl. George W. Reed is the most interesting citizen of our town at present. He is prchaps the oldest, being if he lives to July coming, 88 years of age. He came to Butler, it is stated, in 1824, and while therefore not one of the very early comers yet he is perhaps the closest connecting link between them and the present of any of our other old citizens. He has always been an active, correct and industrious citizen, of good moral habits and honest in all his ways and walKs. In military affairs he has been a most prominent and conspicuous character. He at one time was the Captain of the "Butler Blues." a militia company of the town. Soon after be was a Major in the militia, then an Adjutant to a battalion; then Brigade Inspector, from 1835 to 1842; then Brigadier General, until 1848. During part of this time Butler was connected with Beaver county in military matters. In all these positions General Reed was every inch a soldier. No more gallant or soldier like man ever sat in saddle. When on horse back to this day be sits quite erect, and rides with ease and grace, conmanding the attention and admiration of all. His services are still called for upon Decoration Days. Reunions of Regiments, and other military occasions. He retains to a re markable degree all bis faculties except '.hat of hearing, and if it were not for this loss of hearing he says he is as good a man as he ever was. In 1845, GenL Keod was elected Sheriff of tbe county, over the late G'-nl. Robert McNair; and in 1862 he *an elected Treas urer of the county. In politics he was a very ardent and active Whig during the day* of that party, and since then has been an equally ardent and active Republican, always exerting an influence with tbo people surpassed by few if any ol our older or present citizens, lie yet takes u lively interest in all public affairs and is respect ed by all. MKCULI.NO MKADOW. With this last pquare ends what were the built up squares of Butler 50 years ago. On the apposite, East side of street from this last one, was what was then known as the "Meohling Meadow," on which were no buildings of any kind. The "Gilmore Meadow" on the "West side was built upon a little earlier than the Mcchling one. The present residence of W. D. Brandon, Esq. and family was the first break made on the old Mechling meadow. This meadow ex tended from Main street east to McKean. and Xorth to the old Borough line, now East Penn street, containing six or eight acres. It was the favorite place tor foot ball games or playing, 50 years and more ago. About the holidays every year there was sure to be a foot ball match in the Mechling meadow, largely attended by the ncholars at the old Academy and many others. The meadow was divided by a line as near the middle as could be. Two parties were made up, with captains and rules for tbe play. Both parties assembled at this middle line. Tbo ball, a large one, was tossed up in the air and the contest began at its fall, the struggle being on each side to get tbe first kick and the objective points being the fences at the north or'south ends of the meadow. Which ever party got the ball to the fence of the other first were the victors. These matches were often exciting and hotly contested souie times ending in a row, possibly a light. The penalty paid by the defeated side was a treat for all of apples, ginger bread, and cider, to wash it down. The Hrandon residence was, as we have said, tbe first building put on this meadow. It was built by the late Mr. Samuel M. Lane, about the year 1K47. Mr. Lane sold the lot and house to the late Dunlap Me Laugtilin, Esq. 1853, and he sold wair.t> U. the late Mr. James Campbell, about 1855. Mr. Campbell lived there uutil his recent death. Bis son, T. Chalmers Campbell, Esq. and bis son-in-law, J. B. McJunkin, Ei<q. have their fine residences on parts of this lot, on North street. W1 Til KKHt'OON IShTIT DTK. Tbe Witberspoon Institute was we think the next buildiug on this old meadow; the Scbreiber House being built after it. The Witberspoon was erected about 1853, under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church. The late Kev. Br. Loyal Young was its first Principal. Kev. David Hall followed Br. Young as its Principal. Then follow ed liev. J. It. Coulter, Be v. Martin Uyerson, Kev. John Smalley, Kev. K. Boyd, Kev. Jesse Wells Hamilton, aud finally the late Kev. W. I. Brugh, all a* Principals of this Institute. During their time the U itnerspoon was a widely known and useful educational one, turning out muny scholars who have risen to distinc tion in many of the professions, especially in the Ministry. In the Witberspoon was purchased by the English Lutheran Church of this place, where that congrega tion worship at present and whoso property it still is. Mr. Brugh made an ell'ort to have erected a more extensive Institute than the old one, for that purpose purchas ing ground on what is now called "Insti tute Hill." But the project failed for want of financial oid. A building however was erected in which schools were held for some years, when it became the property ol t ln- Catholic Church and a seminary of that church in there at present. From the old Witherspoon, or now Clay street, on the old Mechling meadow are now the residences of Mr. Henry Miller, Mr. Kirr Mi-Bride, Mr Dal Harvey, Dr. Zimmerman, Hon. Charles McCandlet**, Theodore Husoitou, John Huaelton, Esq., and Capt. Samuel Walker, all built in re cent years. Crossing now East Penn street was an other meadow known a* the Suilivan meadow, being the property of the late Hon. Charles C. Sullivan, originally a part of the Graham land. On it at present is the residence in which Mr. Gil) Linn re s-ides. and the residences of K. P. Scott. Esq., John S. Campbell, W. S. Ziegler, G. Wilson Miller. F. M. Eastman, Esq., the late Capt. James B. Storey, in which Mr. D. Osborne resides, and the residence of Hon. A. L. Hazen. all built in recent years. From there up on former Graham ground is the Mr. John B. Graham former resi dence, now we believe the property of Mr. Charles Duffy, and the residences of Dr. J. C. Redick. Rev. W. E. Oder, Joseph C. Vanderlin, Ksq.. J. 11. Grieb and the Hen ry Eitenmiller property, formerly that of Mr. Ebenezer Graham, all constructed in recent years. ROBERT ORAIIAM ASH RESIDENCE. Crossing over the road, now Main St.. stood the residence of the late Mr Robert Graham. On its old foundation now stands the residence of Mr. U. W. Christie This was built in recent years by Mr. Ber nard Dougherty and when built was con sidered the most costly and elegant resi dence in the town, and is perhaps such yet. it passed from Mr. Dougherty into the hands of Mr. John Berg, who sold same recently to Mr Christie. The old house there was also a brick one and Mr. Graham lived there 50 years ago and for a period bevond our recollection. With the exception of the Cunninghams the late Mr. Robert Graham gave more of bis property for the founding of Butler as the county "seat than any of its other early citizens. "To his liberality, it is recorded, that the early town owes much for its lo cition and growth. He was among the very earliest settlers and became the owner of the tract of land, 300 acres, im mediately North of town. He did the teamtng'or hauling between here and Pittsburgh for many years. We recollect his team of four bays and the old fashioned wagon in which he hauled goods for the merchants here from Pittsburgh. This wagon had a covered bed. curved up high in tront and rear, resembling somewhat the high old bonnets the women used to wear. It was to Butler then, as to the transportation of goods, what the modern railroad freight cars are now. Everything was sent to and from Pittsburg by Mr. Graham and his wagon. Before the time of the stage coaches citizens even traveled as passengers in it, being then no other mode of conveyance, and we have heard some of our late citizens say they went to Pittsburg and back in Mr. Gra ham's wagon, and were glad of that chance to do so. Mr. Graham was a respected citizen, a good, benevolent, kind hearted, obliging man. lie raised a large family, of whom our present aged Mr. Jubn B. Graham, Mr. Ebenezer Graham and their sister Mrs. Mary Heiner are the only surviving ones, all now living here. Mr. Ebenezer Graham is we believe the yoangest of that family. Present Walter L. Graham, Esq. and I)r. Samuel Graham are grandsons. Mr. Kobert Graham died in 1849 at the age of, 81 years. Passing down lro.ll the old Kobert Graham place, now 11. W. Christie, are the fine residences of Mr. Joseph L. Purvis, Mr. B. C. lluseltonand C. G. Christie, Esq. all of recent date. Sex t is the large residence erected by Walter L. Graham, Esq. about IH7O. This became the prop erty of Ei. Judge James Bredin, then of Mr" Howard Thompson, and now of Mr. Wilson B. Keod, present owner. Crossing Pearl street the next properties are those of Mr. D. H. Wuller, Ex-.SberifF Thomas Doneghey, Mr. G. W. Ziegler and the late General John X. Purviar.ce residence. These are all upon former Graham laud or meadow. General Purviauce was among the first to buy and build out there, lie erected his residence about 1841, near 50 years ago. It is now the property of his son John Purvauc •. Esq. and other heirs. General Purviauce died so recently, 188.5, and hi* useful life and good charactor have lieeu so fully made known that we deem unnecessary any further presentation of them here. Crossing West l'een street, old Borough line, that divides former Graham and Gil more meadows, is first, the Colbert pro perty, heretofore spoken of anil where Mr. Harvey Colbert now resides. Then is the present Mr. W. V. Hardman fine residence, formerly that of late Andrew Games, Esq. heretofore spoken of. Then is the tine residence ot S. F. Bowser. Esq. formerly that of the late Samuel C. Stewart. Esq. who built same about 1850. He aud Mr. Andrew Games built their houses in samo year. Mr. Stewart 'was a Treasurer of the count. I *, elected about 1848. He came from about Portcrsvillc, this county, was a cabinet maker by trade, and a man of ex cellent character in every way. He re moved from here to Bearer county and is we believe deceased. The only child of his we know of now is a son, Mr. Newton Stewart, of BradyV Bend, Pa. The next residence is that of the wido.v anil heirs of the late Mr. Martin lieiber. This was originally the property of the late William B. Lemmon, before spoken of. ft has been greatly improved and is now one of the finest looking ill the town. Mr. Martin Reiber in his day was one of t*ie best, most useful and enterprising citizens of Butler. He owned several properties, lie was father to present Ford, Albert, Martin.Howard and Aaron E. Reiber. lie died 1%82, aged 71 years. The residence of late John Seoti, Esq. is next, anil then the houses of Mr. Joseph Elliott, Mr J. E. McCluug. and the store building of Messrs Keed <t Kirkpatrick. Crossing Clay street is the popular Wick House, now owned by Mr. Alfred Wick and kept by Mr. J. S. Wick. The Mrs. William Miller residence is next and then the residence of Mr. Alfred Wick. Mr. George Weber erected this house, 1872. This whole square was at one time owned by the late David Walker. The late Samuel (i. Purvis, Esq. was owner for a time of the Wick House and that lot. The lat" Mr. William Miller was owner of the other two lots. Genl. Keed bought the one next him and sold same to Mr. George Weber, all heretofore spoken of. This now brings us to where we left when crossing from Genl. Heed's to "Mechllng Meadow," and completes both sides of Main street from where we first commenced. And it would complete the task we had in view if it were not that something should be added as to the south end ol present town, not before mentioned, arid ol one or two points or places not on Main street but now within the town limits. In la.~t article one place where Mr.Thos. B. Wbito kept the post office in year 1872, was omitted, to wit, wheru present Kr g meat shop is. From there he removed it to Cunningham street, in 1873. We also omitted to state that the late Capt. Edwin Lyon was associated with late William ilaslett in the publication of the ''Butler Jmirirnu" for a short time, and also with Col John M. Thompson lor a time in the practice of the law, Capt. Lyon was also Cashier of present Saving s liank lor a time, about 18(58. He died in 1872 at ago of 43 March 19, 1891. J. 11. N T .
