Mr. n. W. English, a son of Jas. Y. i English of Franklin twp. returned trom another trip to West Virginia, last week. The mountain region of W. Va. is very rich in lumber of all kinds, coal and iron. 1 Vast lorest <>l enks. cherry and walnut are i encountered on every band, but it is hard i to get it to market, though along the i streams they float it to the mills ana rail roads. Some very large trees are found. On a tract of ISOo" acres along the head waters of the Cheat river (which is a branch of the Monongahela) owned by Geo. Ziegler of Butler, there ig a walnut tree, eighteen tcot in circumference, straight as au arrow and eighty feet to the first branch. Some of the coal veins are fourteen feet deep and some of the iron-ore veins eleven. That part ot the state (Randolph and the adjoining counties) is being developed principally by Western Pennsylvania capital and enterprise. It is a great country and the explorer finds lots of places ' w here the hand of man never set foot." Mr. J. G. Ilenry, agent of the West I'enn at Butler has been transfered to Indiana, and G. I>.

Doings of Council. The Council Chamber was crowded with Hrangers. Tuesday night—men who came here to bid on the paving of Ea»t and T\ est Jefferson streets and Centre avenue: also on the Fairview. Brcwn and Walker ave.. and Mifflin st. sewers. The bids were all opened and read, and referred to the different committees and City Engineer, to tabulate.and report upon Thursday evening. On the paving the lowest bidders are John Osborne of Franklin, Long A Doyle of Pittsburg. Moren A Collins, and Huston Brothers. Osborne's bids are as follows—For pav ing East Jefferson street with Brady's Run Paving brick $1.92 per sq«are yard; curb ing 65 cents per lineal foot: West Jefferson street $1.95 per square yard; Centre Ave. SI.BB cents per square yard. Long <£ Doyle—E. Jefferson $1.70 per sq. yard for brick, $3.10 per sq. yd for block stone; W. Jefferson $1.77 for brick; Centre Ave. $1.75. Curbing 62 cents re setting 10 cent*. Moren A' Collins—E. Jefferson $1.95, »>•>. 20; W. Jefferson $1.89; Centre ave $1.89. George Schaffner bid on Centre avenue alone at $1.91 per sq. yard, 68 cent* for curbing and 20 cents for resetting. Huston Bros, bid $1.97 on E. Jetlerson; $1.94 on TV. Jefferson aud $1.86 on Centre Ave. The other bids, eleven in number, run from $1.95 to $3.60 for brick, and from $2 93 to $4.50 for block stone. After the bids were all read, a communi cation froin Long A Doyle advocating ce ment in preference to tar for tilling the interstices in the brick paving was read, and they had samples of the brick joined together with both tar aud ceuieut to prove their argument. For the sewering there were live bidders and the contest seems to be between E. F. Hughs and McCollum A Graham. Hughes' bid for the 8 inch sewer, in alley east of Fairview avenue is 57 cents aud 54 for a 6 inch; flush tanks $97 each, man holes SSO, inspection heads S3S. For alley west of Fairview avenue, 56 aud 54 cents. For Walker Ave. 60 and 58 cents. For alley east of Brown Ave. 76 and <4 cents and for Mifflin street 85 cents. McCollum A Graham's bid 011 Fairview avenue sewer is 60 cents. Brown Ave. 56, Walker 59 and Mifflin 80; S6O for manholes, $45 for inspection beads and SIOO for flush tanks. The other bids run from 64 to 81 cents per foot for tie sewe -s and they all vary 011 the Hushing tanks and manholes. Of the miscellaneous business done that night the first matter was the petition of the Mutual "Water Association for permis sion to use the streets and alleys of the S. S. for laying their pipes, and the peti tion was granted and ordinance ordered to be prepared—the Co. to furnish water for the flushing tanks and fire plugs of that part of the town free of charge to the town. Mr. Meredith of the old TVater Co. was present, and there may be some legßl mu sic over this. A communication from the Burgess re garding the charges against two of the policemen was read and the charges against one were dropped, and against tko other were sustained, and he was discharged, and a motion to pay the discharged man a half month's salary brought on a long wrangle, but he finally got it by a vote of 8 to 4. The petition of Messrs Eitenmiller A Lei bold for a policeman, they to pay him. was granted; and the lockup matter was refer red to the Police Com. Some premises on the S. S. were report ed in bad condition and notices were or dered to be served on the owners. The Engineer was ordered to give grade for Cherry alley. The matter of the grade of Main street from the Diamond to the Vogeley House alley was brought up again and there was another long talk regarding it and other grades along the street. A motion to put the grades at the crossing of Main aud TVayne down 1J feet, or to where the orig inal survey put it, was voted down, and that seemed to settle the matter —at least it was dropped, with nothing done. The bond of the boro. to Mr. Fullerton for damaged for occupying his land for the abutments of the Centre Ave. bridge was read and approved of. It is for SI2OO and the amount of damages will probably de pend on the verdict of a jury. Its consid eration caused the manner of the construc tion ot the abutments to be referred to, and a committee was appointed to confer with the County Commissioners regarding it. It was asserted that the P. It. R. Co. makes all its abutments solid with cement, which on a good foundation last forever, and are the cheaper in the end. Council adjourned to meet Thursday evening.

STEIN & SON'S. Young Men's Christian Association Ben efits. In order to get a comprehensive view of the benefits to be derived from the Young Men's Christian Association it is necessary to investigate not only its moral and religious influence.-, but also its mental and physical resources. Kor the ideal V. M. C- A. is fitted to de velop all sides of the human make up and to make each member morally, mentally, socially and physically a perfect man. Tbe Association does not aim to take the place of the church. Kather it is one of the nurserie* of the church, being in that respect similar to the Sunday School. It Wi one of the sign boards by the way point ing out the path that leads to the kingdom of tiod. The moral work of tbe Associa tion appear-, first, in tbe bringing together of young men of good character, whose companionship with each other has a ten dene v to elevate and encourage each one. Hy this association together, religiously inclined yonng men are not only them selves strengthened morally but also united into a band of young soldiers cencentrat ing their efforts in a battle ior the right. So the forces of the king are united. The companies that co«ie from the various churches are here united into regiments, marching out to storm the forts of dark ness. By these messengers, in the second place, other young men whose lives have not been subject to the Prince of Peace, are drawn into the Association rooms. Here tbey find good company and a pleasant place to spend their spare hours, •which perhaps were formerly spent with harmful associates in questionable places. Thus the active members go out and "snatch the brands fiom the burning." But to investigate more fully the means which are afforded by the Association for making men better, let us first con sider its religious meetings. The Bible class meeting every week is an excellent place for youug Christians to study the Bible and learn the messagos of their leader. And here those who are not Christians may learn the way of salvation. The Sunday afternoon meetings afford to those who have not accepted Christ an opportunity to turn from their evil ways and learn to follow the meek and lowly Nazarene. 11 ere many a good resolution is formed, the influence oT which is felt even down to the deep waters of death. And who shall say that the ripples started by a turn to the right, and that widen out in circles on the waters of life, will not continue to roll on until they break upon the shores of eternityT Next below the moral sphere is the mental sphere. These two worlds are in fact joined by a bridge that unites tbem very closely into one. For the honest skeptic may finally pass from the realm of the mind into the very chamber of the soul over the bridge of reason. So very evidently it is necessary and expedient to cultivate the mind in order to make better workers in the cause. The Association provides for the mental needs of its members and of all those who desire to avail themselves of its reading room. Papers, magazines and books are provided. These cover a wide field of literature, both religious and secular. Moreover, a Lyceum has been establish ed which is a great source of mantal cul ture. Lastly we come to the physical man. Although the Association in Butler is not provided with a gymnasium, yet it sup plies that need as far as it can under the circumstances and organizes an Outing Club, which not only promises to be a wonderful stimulant to good health, but also to kindly spirits and unselfish deeds. The public is very cordially invited to visit our rooms and lend its interest for bettering the world. SKC'Y. —New kid gloves, new silk and fabric gloves acd silk mitts at low est prices at L.
