—The currant worm that proves so de

—There is a young man residing in tbe
upper end of the county who evidently has
not heard oi tbe quotation: A merciful
man is merciful to his beast," or if he has,
does not follow it out in practice. Ho paid
a visit to Butler lately and left his horse
stand at a hitching post from C o'clock in
the morning until 7 o'clock in tbe evening
without food or drink. A very thoughtful
young man, that.
—"ln tbe Soup" is the name of the lat
est puzzle. It beats tiddledy winks or pigs
in clover all to pieces. It consists of a
small earthen bowl, a marble and a spoon.
Tbe spoon is simply a bit of wire slightly
flattened at one end with which the player
is to lift the "soup" (the marble) out of the

Council Proceedings.
Council met Tuesday evening.
Mr. Berg appeared again, in reference
to the curb at corneroor. r Main and Cunning
hain Sts. and asked that it be lowered.
Mi. Bowser appeared and a-ked that the
grade of Main St. from Penn to the cul
vert at the old Scott residence be lowered,
so as not to throw the sidewalks of the
west side of the street higher than the lots,
and as the people of the ea-st side do not
object, a slight change maybe made there.
Both these matters were referred to the
Paving Committee and Engineer with
power to act. The east side of the street
is the higher nearly the entire length ol
the strjet and ol course the people of that
side want the street as high as possible,
while those on the west side want it as
low as possible. Along several of the
squares the street looks to us to be too
high.
Mr. Montgomery, of E. Pearl St..appear
ed and spoke of the assessments for sewer
age on that street. He .-aid they were
assessed for the sewer on E. Pearl St.,
which is useless to them, and now that a
sewer is being laid on Howard St., which
should have been left as a a alle/; he under
stood that ther were also to be assessed
for that street, though the lots between
them measured but 140 feet. Howard St.
was made out of au alley to accommodate
one property owner, and this matter illus
trates the trouble that humoring everybody
makes for the Council.
Mr. Mciunkin of the Paving Committee
reported that contractor Osliorne and the
sub-contractor for the enrbing. Mr. Shook,
are not putting in the curbing according
to the specifications—no broken s'one
under it and no tamping. The Engineer
and Paving Committee are the sole judges
of this matter, and if they pass it the town
will have to abide by it.
Mr. Alexander produced a sample of the
sand Mr. Osborne is using with the brick.
The specifications call for sharp-sand,
while this stuff was pronounced "good
corn ground" by one of the Council. It is
not sharp-sand, and was passed by the
Council last year on account of the con
dition of the roads and to hurry up
matters, but should not be passed now.
The stakes for the Walker Ave. sewer
run through Kife's lot, and as they object,
the sewer for the west side of Walker Ave.
is not to be contracted for at present.
The Sewer Committee, Engineer, Solic
itor and Clerk were directed to prepare the
list of assessments for the Centre Ave.
sewer.
A petition of certain citizens of the sth
ward was read, asking that the alley from
W. Penn St. to W. Pearl St. and running
through the Purviance, Heiner and other
properties be opened, and-the matter was
referred to the Solicitor.
Solicitor Campbell reported that he had
prepared the contracts for the paving of
East and West Jefferson Sts. and Centre
Ave., and they were read and approved.
The contract for E. Jefferson St. omits
that part of the street between Main St.
and the first alley, as it is already paved,
and one of the property owners has an
nounced his determination to take advan
tage of the law regarding re-paving.
Mr. Forqner suggested that the financial
statement required by law be prepared and
filed, preparatory to selling bonds to secure
money for the borough's share of this pav
ing, which will amount to about $12,000.
Mr. Perrine of the Water Committee re
ported that the Committee and the Water
Co. had nearly agreed upon terms, and
asked for instructions as to th« contract,
and the Council were of opinion that the
contract should not be jmade for
more than five years, with privilege of ex
tending to ten. Mr. Vogel thought the
people of the town should have a public
meeting and arrange for a Water Works of
their own.
Burgess Kennedy asked what ho would
do with tramps who cannot pay their fines,
and was instructed to hand them oyer to
the Street Commissioner.
Adjourned till next Tuesday evening.
A Special meeting of the Council was
held on Thursday evening of last week for
the purpose of hearing the reports of the
Sewer and i'aving Committees on the bids
received the previous Tuesday evening.
Mr. Black not being present, Mr. Forquer,
presided. »■ s =
The Sewer Committee reported, that the
bid of Messrs Graham A McPoland was
the lowest on the Brown Ave. sewer and
the contract for it was awarded to tlieni;
also that the bids of E. F. Hughes wero the
lowest on the Fairview, and Walker ave.
and Milllin St. sewers, and those jobs were
given to him, bond in SIOOO, for each
sewer. The whole cost of the South-Side
sewers will be about SSOOO.
Mr. Goucher and several members of the
South-Side Mutual Water Co. appeared ami
asked that the ordinance granting the Co.
the use of the streets be reconsidered, and
that Sec. 3, which required the Co. to supply
the flush tanks and tire.plugs with water
free of charge be stricken out, and after a
long discussion, this was done.
The Paving Committee reported that
Long <fc Doyle were the lowest bidders on
the three streets advertised and on motion
the contracts for Center Ave. was given to
them at $1.75 if the paving is covered and
filled in with coal-tar pitch., or $1.05 if
covered and filled with sand.
There are three methods of finishing the
paving ic, by covering it with boiling
pitch, liquid cement, or red-hot sand—and
the merits of each were discussed. Long
it Doyle recommended cement, but a
majority the Council concluded that sand
was the best, though one or two members
are yet decidedly for pitch.
East and West Jefferson Sts. were let to
Long 4 Doyle at $1.77 for brick and
pitch, and $1.66 for brick and sand—the
solictor to prepare the contracts, and Presi
dent and Sec'y to contract —bond in SIOOOO
for each street, etc.
The culverts needed are to bo designed
and contracted for.
Complaint was made of the waste water,
at Main and North Sts, and the Sec'y was
directed to notify Mr. Duffy to abate the
nuisance; also of the Franklin St. sewers
and the High constable was directed to
plug them.
The Sidewalk and Paving Committees
were authorized to make use of the dis
placed crossing stones, not needed for
abutting the paving, and the stones on E
Jefferson St. are to bo reserved to the
town.
Complaint was made of the size of the
curbing and the manner in which it is be
ing set. The specifications call for 30 inch,
bat the Council agreed to let it go at L' 4,
provided six inches of broken stono wore
placed under it, and one of the Couccilmcn
reported that this is not being done, and
another that some of the curbing is but IS
inches. The people of the town should
acquaint themselves with the specifications
for the sewers and the paving, and report
any ducrepencie's they notice, for the City
Engineer is at present overworked.

His steamer left Progresso, which is the

the 7th inst., reached Havana, Saturday
morning, and New York, Wednesday morn
ing. There are two lines of steamers be
tween New York and the Gulf ports, and
there is as great a rivalry between them as
there is between tbe trans—Atlantic
steamers. Northern Yucatan is a very
prosperous country at present, owing to
the increase in the demand for and price of
its staple product, the Henequin fibre, of
which ropes, hammocks, etc. are made.
The Dr. will stay with us for but one
month, as John,also, wishes to visit Butler
this season.

The Soldiers' Orphans.
Tuesday last was the day selected by the
State Soldiers' Orphans Commission to Su
spect the school and the soldiers' orphans
at tha Home here, and it being known tlia*
the Commission lrul determined to remove
the soldiers' orphans hero to another
school, in accordance with the law which
requires them to consolidate the schools as
the number of orphans diminishes, He v.
Prugh bad his friends meet with them
there that day and try to talk them into a
of the matter.
Cols. Hover, Stewart and Magee, three
of the members of the Commission, arrived
here on the morning traiu uud proceeded
to the Home and with Inspector Greer
made a thorough examination of it. and at
2 o'clock that afternoon the boys were
drilled in the park, and the girls went
through a calisthenic exercise, and both
did so well as to call forth the praises of
all. Then all assembled in the large
double school-room of the new building,
where the boys and girls recited and sang,
to the delight of the audience. Inspector
Greer, Capt. Flceger, Col. Thompson,
Judge Ilazeu, and others, then spoke for
the school, and'the members of the Com
mission also spoke praising the school but
giving the audience no encouragement as
to a change of mind in the direction wish
el. Then the scholars were dismissed,
and the members of the Commission and
some of our citizens retired to one of the
upper school rooms and talked the matter
over. Col. Boyer was the speaker for the
Commission there, and he went over the
work of the Commission and the laws gov
erning them. The number of orphans is
now reduced to 800; the State owns the
school at Chester Springs in Chester Co.,
and has rented the schools at Jumonville,
near Cniontown, and at Harford in Susque
hanna Co., and the Commission will need
all the orphans to till these three schojls.
The State allows but #l4O a year for each
orphan and to keep within the appro
priation the Commission must keep the
children together. The accounts ot the
school here were gone over and ltev. l'rugh
agreed to keep the orphans at $l4O a year,
but Col. Boyer said that all the arrange
ments for the change had been made, even
to t e transportation for the scholars on
Saturday, the 30th inst.
It was easily seen that tfce Commission
were decided in the matter and that there
was no changing it, and mnch as we
regret it, it will have to be.
