Mr. n. W. English, a son of Jas. Y. i

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

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.

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.
