Time for Action.
Tho time has now come in the tide of
learning when Bntler can take rank with
other towns of ite importance by founding
a college. All the necessary primary steps
have been taken by a band of our moat pro
gressive citiiena and the only thing now
needed is the rapport of the people. It is
proposed to obtain a charter, with the cap
ital stock, for the present, fixed at $50,000.
This will be divided into SSO shares, and
the amount to be held by any individual
will bo limited, thus preventing its control
by any political or sectarian organization.
There will be no direct profits or dividends
to stockholders. All income will be spent
on the school. A successful college here
would be of incalcnlable benefit to the
town. There are hundreds of children in
and near Bntler whose education stops
with the pnblio schools, simply becanse of
the expense of going away to school. It
would be better for them to finish their ed
ucation here at home for many reasons. A
college here wonld attract people with
children to be educated, and would add
much to the name of the town.
Let the rolid men of this vicinity put
their shoulders to the wheel, and the way
is clear.
Souc of the patent medicine men have
combined to pnt np prices, and black-list
drnsrgists who cut rates. There is to be a
con pop arrangement, and a clearing house
in each large town.
THE death lists of the city papers have
beeu immense daring the past few days.
Death of Nelson P. Reed.
Nelson Purviance Reed, formerly of this
place, died at his home in Pittsburgh on
Saturday evening last, in the 30th year of
his age. The newa of his death was re
ceived here with as mnch sorrow and re
gret as if one of our own chief citizens bad
been taken from na. All here felt an inter
est and a pride in the man who by his push
nnd pluck had built up so great a newspa
per as the Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette
Is to-day. He went to Pittsburgh when a
young man and became connected with the
Gazette when it was not in a prosperous
condition, and leave* it now, in the prime
of his life, one of the most prosperous and
powerful papers of the State. That he has
been called away so eady in his useful ca
reer seems a hard fate. Few men we have
ever known had more energy ana laudable
ambition than had our once townsman Nel
son P. Reed. He falls a victim to the
singular disease that is so prevalent at
present.
Mr. Reed «u a son of our aged and re
spected fellow citixen, General George W.
Reed, and the sympathy of our entire com
munity goes out to the father and to the
brothers and slaters in this their sad and
sudden bereavement.

Cameron.
The following expreseion of the viewß of
Hon. Joaiah McPherrin, upon the re
, election of J. Donald Cameron to the XT. S.
Senate, harmonise with those expre seed in
these columns on the same subject. In
terest is added to this artielo from the fact
tliat it is from the pen of a native of Butler
county who foT two terms creditably repre
sented the oonnty in our State Legislature.
He now resides in Western lowa and in
his Both year takes .a active interest in
Pennsylvania politics.
"Cameron, the silver speculator of your j
Stato, it is said, distributed a large sum of ,

Tailed to help elect a Republican Governor,
but was effective in accomplishing the sel
fish purposes of the donor, in securing the
election ot members of the Legislature who
would vote to re-elect him tc the Senato

Keystone State by keeping a man there (

■ originated or advocated any measure in the
Senate for the benefit of the conntry. 11 in <
object and ends in thus di«bonestly setur- •
ing a place in the Senate again were to 1
enable hiui more easily to aecouipiLih his *
seltish purposes and speculations,' not 1
having any regard for the interest or wishes '
, of t he people.
\\ <■ are not surprised that intelligent <
members of Congress bowed their heads in j
in shame that Pennsylvania should furnish c
the only traitor ot all the Eastern States; o
for the same feeling is experienced by all 1
honest friends of the country,and contempt '
for Cameron on account of his treachery. *
■Washington and Jefferson bad sad ex- ■ c
periences daring their administrations with
traitors (Arnold and Burr) and onr able, f
honest President, Harrison, has cause for t
sorrow at the present time in view of the "
treachery of some Senators. b
We remember that three-qnarters of a 1
century ago that State was represented in a
the .Senate by able, honest, Christiau r
statesmen, and we now may well exclaim t
How are the mighty fallen! In view of 1
the contempt in which he knows be is held '
by all honest friends of republican govern- '
ment, if he has any Respect for the people, V
he would resign and go South and take his 1
equally treacherous colleague with bim. f
There they might find friends among those t
who once sought to destroy this govern- '
ment. They have forfeited the respect of 1
all friends of republican principles. I
If Cameron would resign, as be should, f
and thus pat an end to that corrupt 1
dynasty that has existed iu the Senate, tho 1
people would rejoice that tte State is re- 1
lieved of the disgrace, but if he has no *
\ regard for the wishes of the people and '
shamelessly prolongs the rule of this '
~ corrupt dynasty, the days of republican t
government are numbered, and the thons- c
ands of brave, patriotic soldiers who gave '
tfceir lives to save this country from the
rebels a ill have died in vain. "When the

President, Mr. Williams, most cordially
welcomed us, and kindly invited us to call
again. We certainly shall. Societies of
this kind are of great practicability, if con

reason to believe the one at Kattigan is.
Great numbers of the young men of
the northern part of our township have
lately joined the Jr. 0. A. M. at Worthing

patriotic one as the Jr 0. A. M. proves to
be. We hail with delight any organiza
tion which tends to create a love for our
grand, free country, and its American in
stitutions. May these young men, so late
ly enlisted under the banner of the Stars
and Stripeß, ever uphold this, onr grand
free country, and be willing at all times to
defend it both in spirit and in deed.
Measles and pneumonia seem, in inany
cases. to be going hand in hand this win
ter. Now, as a great many of the little
folks of Clearfield are just getting over tin
measles, the utmost care should be taken
that they be not allowed to run out too
soon or in any way expose themselves be
fore they are entirely well. As the eyes
are very much affected by this disease,
cbildreu should not be allowed to read or
study much ju»t after they have gotten
over thein. Serious results often happen,
owing almost entirely to the violation of
the laws of Nature a-< mentioned in the
cases above.
We frequently bear it stated, 111 1 arming
communities that of all the professions, or
occupations, among our American people,
the one most imposed upon is that very t
seutial ocenpatton —known as
True, tire farmer does have much to annoy
him; and mauy binderanees in thesucces
ful operation of his work; the farmer mn.-a
take for his grain and other productions
just what the people in the town or cities
are willing to pay him, and in turn he is
obliged to pay the merchant the price
asked for his merchandise or do without it.
But, to all questions there aro two sides
and the farmer, if he successfully conducts
his affairs, finds many things to encourage
him. IJe is not under a "boss," and there
fore can work when he will and rest when
he will. He raises his own provisions, or
at least a large percentage of them, and
has the advantage over the city peoplu in
that he has plenty of good fresh air anil an
abundance of vigorous exercise, so highly
recommended by medical men as essential
to the health and happiness of mankind.
And especially is it true as to his exercise,
when ho finds himself in tho harvest field.
But now to the point in view. Wo have
(nany larmers in Clearfield who if they
would but attend more closely to tho af
fairs of their farm, they might thrive much
better. Some one has said: That the
"Jack of all trades is master of none." We
trulv believe it. If more attention w.i>
paid, in some instances, to the breeding of
good horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, etc., than
is paid to the breeding of sheep-thief dogs
most of tho people might be more benefit
ted. And again if, while they are talkinir
about "Itoaa bills," and the way they are
imposed upon, they were building good
fences, working on tho roads, etc., much
good might be accomplished and farmers,
as a cluss, thrive much better. To tho
front, farmers! To the front!!

JOHN ARCHIBALD MCCALL AND! \
OTHERS. . | r
Fifty years ago there were some promi- j
nrr.t men living near to the town, but set n ;
so frequently in it that they might be con- J <
sidered * part "f it, and therefore worthy j >
of mention. Amon* these was the late ,
Mr. John M.\', vi'.ior. of liutler Tp. j
who lived in the large stone house on the j
old Freeport road, on the hiil a mile south j
east <>l town The present owners and oc-j
eupantsof this hoes;, and the large old'
McQuistion farm there, are the widow anil
heirs of tie lato John Dtterr, who became j
owner of same. Mr. McCJuistiou in Lis 'lay j
also owned several other tracts of land j
adjoining where he lived, being of the j
Morri»Lowrey "depreciation lands,
already spoken of. He also owned several j
of the lots in the Boro. of Butler, and was j
considered a quite wealthy man. His farm
was noted ior its large amount of Iruit
trees, particularly of the apple,upon which
the boys of the town made frequent raids,
sometimes by nigbt. He defended his fruit
on such occasions by some large dogs he
had. Besides his extensive farm he car
ried on tanning and shoe making and many
of the people of the town went to his shop,
| a mile of nearly up-hill travel, to have
i their shot- made or mended with him. He
| was one of the early Commissioners of the j
j county and for years one ol its principal,
j citizens Nearly all of that name now hv-1
' ing iu or about here ar'; grand-children of |
! his. He died ia I*4l, at the age of 74 years, j

also bad a. !..;*<• Ui.n noted for its good
j iruit. His son, Hindman, lives in the brick
| house there built by his father. Two of
' his sons in law, Joseph B. Mechling. Esc),
j and Thomas B. White, Esq. have their
i nue residences on part of this farm. James
I AleQuistion was known as a good citizen
I and personally was a very kind hearted and
benevolent man. One illustration of his
I humanity is worthy of mention.

ARCHIBALD MY'ALL—ORPUAifS' HOME.
Mr. Archibald McCall was a l'hiladel
phia merchant and a man of wealth. lie
became owner at an early day of a large
body of land in this county, Rome of it lay
ing near i'.utler. To look nfter i.i.- pos
sessions here brought bid fre' juon tl\ to
nur town, b 'tween 1810 and 1843 and prob
ably before and after those dates. Oa
his visits here, always in the summer time,
iie would be accompanied by tis family.
Thin family consisted, a < far as we can
recollect, of two or three daughters and a
.on. They would stay at the then old
Mechling Hotel on the Diamond. They
were very genteel, well dressed, well be
haved and cultured people, and great at
tention was paid to them by our people on
their summer visits here. Mr. McCall took
quite an interest, iu the welfare of the town,
bringing or sending here at times some
improved animal stock and perhaps other
things valuable to our citizens or farmers.
Ho built the mill up the creek from town,
iior known as the George Reiber mill.
He desired also to have a summer residence
lor him -elt and family when they came
here and for this purpose erected what
is now the Orphans' Home building on
the hill northeast of town. When it
was built, about 1836, it was tho wonder
and admiration of our people. He and his
family inhabited it on several of their
visits'here.- It has been enlarged by more
recent owners, but the large and broad
porticos around it and other of its features
are the same ns put there by Mr. McCall.
After several changes in own< rship this
property became that of tho Kefortncd
Church, the present owners, and was turn
ed into an Orphans' Home, now success
fully carried on by Kev. I'iugh. The late
Mr* A. N. Mevlert aud family lived in it.
about 1850. "Mr. Meylcrt. with a Mr.
Glymer of the eastern pajt of the State,
became the purchasers of all the Met ail
land" in this county, which included the
faru upon which this house, now Orphans
Home, stands. These parties are all we
think deceased. Mr. McCall died in f'hilu
dolphin, but in what year we cannot now
state. It was however after 1843, as in
that year his son, General George A. Mc-
Call, was in Butler with the family. The
summer of that year, 1843, was the one iu
which the attempt was made to take the
Indian Mohawk from the Jail, and General
McCall being her and being a distinguish
ed soldier in the Regular Army, he was
consulted by the Sheriff and citizens as to
how to best defend ifce Jail iu ea-e of an
attack op-t. it. Gen. McC-h made .sug
gestions, or gave the .Sheriff "pointers," a
to a proper military defence, which at:g
ge..lions were acted upon, but he declined
to take any open part in the snpp: sion of
that rebellion. lie however was a brave
soldier and afterwards bore a conspicuous
part on I!,, battle fi*ld of Gettysburg aud
through the late civil war.

iain White and family. This residence
On tild be mentioned for two reasons; fir.- f.
&•- being otic of the oldest built on anj of
the bills around the town, and, second, for
its peculiar shape and the person who is
«tid to have built it W'* do not know tho
late, but that hou.-o is one of onr earliest
recollections ar.d vn: built not later than
iboiit If3o. The late iivan K. Evan*., Esq.
is sai !to have erected it Evan It. Evans
was a lawyer, practicing at the Butler Bar
about that time. He was a son in law of
Ihe lute Mrs. Sarah Collins, who then
owned that and adjoining lauds. This
may account for Mr. Evans' coming to
Butler. The unique structure of this house
has always been a subject of remark and
would indicate that its builder intended
adding more or other buildings to it. Mr.
Evans! however, left here about that tiuife.
on account of bis health,and is said to have
gone to and died in Texas. Kev. White
became its owner about I*oo, and has with
his family since resided there. Its promi
nence commands a pleasant view and it
and grounds have now become a valuable
proper!v. Kev. bite came to Butler
more than 50 years ago, audio the survivor
of all the ministers here at that date, lie
is now we believe about 80 year=- of age
i'.tul in his declining days has the respect
of all our citizens.
HON. JAMES MITCHELL.
We could not close these recollections
without mention of the Hon. Janie.-
Mitchell, and his brothers, Samuel and
John. While their old farm residence is
not within view ot town, ana is a little
farther out from it than some others we
have noticed, yet they have been and are
vet so identified with its interests, and
with our citizens, as to make them almost
a part of the town. Forso years and more
tbev have been mingling with our citizens
and participating in th- ir public affairs,
and have always been esteemed as worthy,
honest, useful and obliging men. James
Mitchell s worth ha been recognized by hi *
fellow citizens. He was elected, 1851, one
of the Commi-siouers of the County ainl
win neb at the time of the erection, 1853,
of its second Court House, burued down in

In our article of la.-t week, in speaking
of tV. patriot Robert Morris, the expres.-

but aided the Government in providing for
is - debt in the manner we spoke of. Hoi

COKCLCBIOS.
When we commenced writing these rec- (
o'lt ctions of Butler we thought they could
be . embraced in three or four articles of
the length made them. But this is now
the fourteenth article, and much more could
be written. We had but little idea tney
would create the interest among our
citizens that they immediately did. We
were encouraged by the flattering words
spoken nf them and the frequent commend
ing of the good object we had in view.
All seemed to think that now was the time
. to preserve much concerning our town of
! the pa.-t 50 years which if not written now
might otherwis-i be lost. If we have ■
supplied this link between the past and the
pre-ent we will feel fully paid for our
labor. A good part of onr time for the
pa.-t three months has been given the task.
The 14 articles contain about, thirty thous
and words, or about four thousand lines, as
published, and there was scarcely oDe of
thr-e four thousand lines but was a subject
of care and study to us. We desired to be
as correct as possible as to the dates and
| events referred to; but doubtless there are
some errors. We would liked to have ex
tended the scope laid out and to have
spoken of other streets than Main; but
Main street 50 years ago embraced nearly
the whole town." We have, however,either
■directly or indirectly, made mention in
gome way of all the old families of the
town. We found that about 50 years ago,
1840. was a turning point in the habits and
affairs of the people of the town. About
that time the spinning wheel and the
weaving loom began to disappear, and the
linsey-woolsey dresses then worn to be
supplied by a"more costly and fashionable
material. The first photograph artist came
to Butler .-ince 1840. And now we have
telegraphs, telephones, railroads, and other
things, unknown 50 years ago.
We desire to return our thanks to all
friends who kindly tendered or g&ve us any
