BROWN, of Butler. WILLIAM R. PATTERBON, of Penn twp. JOHN LARIMORE, of Oakland Twp. SECKETAKY BLAIW'S answer to Minister Rudini was made public yesterday morn ing. He goes over the indemnity matter and says the justice of such a claim is yet to be settled, quotes Webster's position in 1851 regarding » mob that attacked the office of the Spanish consul in New Orleans, quotes from the treaties and says our Courts are open to all for redress, and ends as follows: If, therefore,it should appear that among those killed by the mob at New Orleans there were some Italian subjects who were resident or domiciled in that city, agree ably to our treaty with Italy, and not in violation of our immigration laws, and who were abiding in the peace of the I mted States and obeying the laws thereof and of the State of Louisiana, and that the public officers charged with the duty of protect ing life and property in that city connived at the work of tne mob, or, upon proper notice or information of the threatened danger, failed to take any steps for the preservation of the public peace, and after wards to bring the guilty to trial, the President woald,under such circumstances, feel that a case was established that should be submitted to the consideration ot Con gress with a view to the relief of the fami lies of the Italian subjects who had lost their lives by lawless violence. Accept, sir, the renewed assurance of my high consideration. JAMBS G. BLAISE. The reply is considered an able one, and not likely to aid Rudini in his local politics. > Harrisburg Notes. In the Senate, Thursday, bills enabling teachers to secure permanent certificates withont the recommendation of Directors, if they have taught six successive terms; requiring school directors to be sworn, and extending the jurisdiction of the Court over them; prohibiting soliciting candi dates to buy tickets, etc., passed finaUy. The Senate refused to confirm some of Governor Pattiaon's nominations, because he had not issued commissions to Librarian Egle, Superintendent Waller and Inspector Martin. The bill regarding actions in assumpsit by joint owners wis reported negatively. The Kemble re imbursement bill was passed finally; also the bill requir ing insurance oompanies to pay an annual bonus to the fire companes. In the House the apportionment and appropriation bills were under consider ation, the Judiciary Gen. Committee listened to arguments on tho Pittsburg street bills, ana it was noticed that the "lobby" had disappeared. The latest senatorial apportionment bill, makes Butter county and a part of Alle gheny county a district. A hundred appropriation bills, aggregat ing eleven million' dollars, were dumped into the House by the Appropriation Com mittee last Friday. In the House, Monday, all the appropri ation bills were read for the first time. Senator HaH, of Elk, introduced a reso lution providing for the appointment of a committee of six to confer with the mana §ers of all the denominational schools in le state in order to learn of some feasible plan whereby ail such schools could .be brought under state control —a pretty big contract. On Tuesday the Baker Ballot-Keforvr. bill passed the House finally by a vote of 171 to 16, and the constitutional conven tion bill came oat of committee same day and was given its old place on the calendar. As amended it provides for 130 delegates —2 from each senatorial district, and 30 at large, no person to vote for more than 15 of them; one Besaion and SIOOO salary. The delegates are to be voted for at the next general eleotion and at the same time the people are to vote as to whether or not they want a convention. The Xesbitt bill creating a board oi tax revision was defeated in the House that day On Wedneaday the wholesale liquor bills were under discussion in the Honse, and some amendments to the present law were agreed to; and in the Senate the Tax bill was up. The new tax bill is now before tho Senate. It is essentially a farmers' bill, and this naturally arrays the city members against it. By it the old tax laws are not changed, bnt several new sources oi revenue for local purposes are created. In the first place railroads, telegraphs, telephone, ana pipe line companies will pay to each county 4 mills on the dollar of thir valuation within such county. All "moneys and credits," meaning moneys loaaed, etc., will be taxed 2 mills, for school purposes, and in addition a tax of ten mills will be imposed on the gross earnings of all private and unincorporated banks. The several classes ef taxable prop erty named by the proposed law are as follows: Class 1. Real estate, not included in class 2, including leaseholds and personal property not. included in classes 2 and 4. Class 2. Real estate and tangible personal property necessary for transacting the business of Railroad and Telegraph, Telephone, Pipe line, etc-sompanies. Class 3. Honeys and credits, excepting of said companies. Class 4. Horses and cattle over 3 years, •hcep and swine over 1 year, household furniture, tools, implements, gardens, or manufactories. Amounts to exceed S3OO or not taxable. Class 5. Capital stock of banks. Class 6. Gross earnings ot banks. State and TJ. S. property, county proper ty, asylums, benevolent and charitable in stitutions, parks, schools, churches, ceme teries, etc., are class 7, which is not taxed, but is liable for assessments for pav ing, sewering, eto. ACCORDING to a recent census bulletin, the ratio of land and water surface is 98.16 *nd 1.84 per cent respectively. This bul letin also gives the area of tho States and Territories by counties, and the classifica tion of the latter by sizes. The average number of persona to each square mile of the land surface of the Union is 21.08. As illu>trative of the sust?tiuing capacity of the I'nited States, the bulletin says that if Texas, the largest State in the Union, was as thickly populated as the State of Rhode Island, it would have 83,623,628 inhabi tants, while if the United States had a den sity of population eqnal to that of Rhodo Island, tho population of the Union, in stead of being 62,622.250, would reach tb>- enornie>us «am of 045 766,300. or nearlj two-thirds of the present population of the world. Seeing the Sights. Representatives T! inpson and Williams have their boys witem at Hamsburg.at present, and previous to the re-assembling of the Legislature, last week, took them to Philadelphia and Carlisle. In a note to us Mr. Thompson speaks of their trip as follows: "Our group then,consisting of four boys, Mr. Williams and myself, had a delightful trip over the mountains, which was enjoy ed as only boys can enjoy new and grand scenery, sucfc as the Penn a route affords. Wo arrived at Philadelphia at 6:45 p.m., took lodgings for the night and on Friday morning took our boys to as many of the molt interesting places of that beaitiful city as it was possible to do in one day. We returned to Harrisburg on tho late train, to start next morning for Carlisle, Cumberland county, to visit the Indian In dustrial school there, which was most in teresting to the men as well as tho boys. This school has Certainly demonstrated the peculiar suscepibility and aptness of the young Indian to acquire high attainments in literature and the industrial arts. At 1:15 p.m.. same day, we started for Gettysburg to visit the historic battle field, at that now peaceful but strangely interesting little town; and after having been driven over the battle field at the in stance of the gallant Capt. Zeigler of Get tysburg, accompanied by himself and guide, who gave an intensely interesting historic sketch of each of the most inter esting periods of that never to be forgotten battle of July 1, 2 and 3, 18G3. When we again embarked for Harrisburg arri\ ing here in time lor the evening session of Monday, April 6. Our boys succeeded in finding quite a number of relics such as minnie balls, grapo shot, etc., which had hitherto escaped the notice of visitors. Capt. Zeigler of whom I speak is at pres ent H member ot the House of Representa tives, and a full cousin to our well known "Uncle Jake" late of Butler, and is the happy possessor of the same amiable and genial characteristics so well de\ eloped in uncle Jake. The gayel hM Bounded and we must go to work. We have been very busy since our return. Tours truly, JOSIAN THOMPSON. THE Presidential party, consisting of the President, his wife, P. M. G. Wanamaker, Sec'y Rusk, and others, left Washington last Monday night. Their first stop was at Lynchburg, Va. They are going to Cali fornia by the southern route, and will re turn by the northern. THB confession of Polits, one of the Italians who was lynched at New Orleans, has been made public. He says that at a meeting of the Mafia society, ten names were drawn from a wheel and the men so drawn were ordered to "do'' the chief of Police, that the arms were carried in a bag to a certain shop where the men also met; that a boy watched for the chief and gave the men notice of his coming, and that they them stepped out of the shop and shot him. Fenelton. Brady school closed its winter session on Tuesday. Mr. Ellis Milligan is now agent for a Kittanning firm. The measles have almost disappeared from our section of the township. Mr. Craig Fullerton and Miss Belle Fen nell, of Rattigan, us on Sunday. Mr. Rankins is now engaged in erecting some buildings for Rev. Hickey. He ex pects to complete his new house when done at Rev. Hickey's. W. S. Ferinell e wondered at when we take into consideration the time the farmers have been leeding. "We notice that the correspondent from Frogtown to the Millerstown Herald notes the fact that one of our farmers has hit upon a cunning device for the protection ot pumpkin vines from bugs, viz: The farmer has fenced a frog-pond in with his corn-field, The frogs are to eat the bugs. To the front, farmers! Mr. W. S. Sipe is agent for Dr. Tal mage's latest and greatest work, "From Manger to Throne." Judging from the prospectus which we saw, the book will be a grand one; and how could it help being! The fact that Dr. Talmage is the author is a sufficient voucher for the quality of the book. Wo take great pleasure in stating that Fenelton has some very loyal followers of the grand old Stars and Stripes; and not only is this true among the young folks, but it is also true among the more ad vancd in age. "We frequently hear men fa* too old to go to war, stating that they are willing to fight for our country if neces sary. The season for milking roads is near at hand, and we join with all other good citi xens in asking that there be a little more and a little better work done on our roads this year than that which was done last year. True the roads in many parts of our county are very bad in- the extreme, but we must acknowledge that ours, taking them all in all, are the worst we have ever seen anywhere under the circumstances. Now that some of oar schools have closed and the others are drawing near to com pletion, the question naturally arises in the minds of all those who are interested, viz: Has the means adopted justified the ends accomplisbedT or in other words, Hare the increased wages paid to our teachers the past season been beneficial to our pupils, and to our citizens at large? Have the "imported" and so-called "low grade-eertificato" teachers, proved them selves worthy of their calling; and have our directors been paid for their courage and perseverance in calling some of their teachers from abroadt Our answer is in the affirmative. In the first place, so far as our observation and knowledge extends, the new teachers have givon entire satis faction to both pupils and parents. They t.'ve, as it were, inl'used new life into the schools; they have introduced new ideas, and presented some of the old ones in a new way; they have, we believe, been try ing to perform their duties faithfully and have realized the truth of the old saying, "The gods help those who help them selves." And even those who were retain ed from last year seem enthused by the current of affairs, and are pashing on and doing their best. In the next place, to be sure onr directors have not been paid in dollars and cents, but they have been paid with something of far more comfort and value than mere dollars; they have been paid in that they have had the pleasure of witnessing good schools. The pupils have been benefited and some compensation has been given for the money expended. We think that any person who is acquainted with the condition of things, cannot but believe as we do. "Axv dollar issued by the United States must be as good as any other dollar."— Harrison's.letter to the Kansas City Con vention.

WASTE OF FODDER. prerrnt It by Corn wlth Sweet Clover. It Is conceded that an acre of corn fodder is generally equal in value to three-fourths <»f an acre of timothy. It will t. 'he disputed that there is an enormous waste of fodder. That increased attention is being' given to improve methods of cutting, curing an.l storing is abundantly evidenced by | the large space that its discussi< >n occupies in the agricultural press, especially that which is somewhat local to lowa, Nebraska and Kansas, and by ! the use of special and adaptable ma- | chinery iji the handling of it. It will j be well for farmers interested to post j up on the matter now, and be ready for cutting and threshing the crop next fall. Corn fodder alone is not u good ration ■ for stock and should be supplemented ! with clover. Now is the time to pre pare for the clover crop. We would j advise large sowings for several j reasons. It is a crop that does well j over a larger are* of country than any , other, though with varying yields, j Different sections and different soils rc- j quire different treatment in sowing. Here we can sow in early spring on the bed of winter wheat or rye; or perhaps the best way is to sow after the first harrowing of oats. It makes a fino growth with the other grain, and as the weather is apt to be moist at harvest time it is not killed out by hot snns when exposed after the cutting away of the grain. In sections where it is likely to bo dry in midsummer wo should ndvise sowing alone on stubble ground early in tho spring, and then keep weeds mowed down two or three times during the season. This will prevent at any time a dense shade, and also furnish a mulch for the young plants. Then there will be no woody, coarso weeds to rake up with tho crop the next year. For oue of the best paying crops, simply as a crop, and for the drawing in and retaining of valuable elements of the soil, sow clover. —J. M. It ice, in Prairie Farmer. THE BUCKWHEAT CROP. To Increase Fertility It Is Almost as Good as Clover. Clover is considered ono of tho best, if not tho best crop that can bo used to build up a run-down soil. But in pome cases the land has been cropped down so much that a good growth of clover cannot be readily secured, and when this is the case something else must bo used. In the absence of clover one of tho best crops to use is buckwheat. It will grow in a soil too poor to make a good crop of clover; it makes a quick growth and will soon shade the soil thoroughly. Shading tho soil aids in nitrification and also in destroying the weeds. One advantage with buckwheat is that two good crops can be grown and turned under in one season and a sufficient quantity of plant food secured in this way to grow a crop of clover, oiid a soil that will grow clover can te built up into a good condition of fertil ity. The first seeding can be done as soon as all danger of hard frost is past; sow broadcast, taking pains to sow tho seed as evenly as possible over the surfc.ce and harrow in well. As soon as a good growth has been uiada, or when in full bloom, it will pay to plow under, taking pains to cover as completely as possible. A second sowing can bo made as soon as the first is plowed under, and beforo a hard frost in tho fall it will have made a good growth. In this way a considerable quantity of valuablo for tilizer can be applied at a comparatively small cost and a good start be made towards building up tho fertility. Liko clover, buckwheat will help to make the soil looser and more friable and to make plant food already in the soil available, as well as to add to the sup ply of fertilizing material. Its quick growth and its branching habit of growth make -it a desirable crop to grow for a green manuro, and as It will grow on very thin land it will be found a good crop to use for this purpose, es pecially in the spring.—St. Louis Re public.

Fertilization of Plants. Bees serve as active agents in the fer tilization of plants, and arc not destruc tive in the least degree, says a writer. They arc profitable, because they gatliet and store up that which would be entire ly lost without their aid. They work in places that are rarely seen, and the fence corners and neglected spots are often valuable pasture fields for them. Though regarded as resentful in nature, yet they can bo cared for easily, for, like animals, they are conquered by kindness. Planing Mill —A Vl> Lumber Yard J. L. PURVIB. L. O. PUN VIS. S.G.
