NOTE— AII advertisers intending to make changes in their ads. should notify us of their intending to do so, not later than Monday morning. Found Dead. John Wilson of Clay twp, generally known as "Blind-John'' Wilson, was fonnd dead in his lied, at his home, Tuesday morning. Ho was in Butler, Monday, and was apparently in his usual health then. He was about 40 years of age, was a son of James Wilson, who left this county about twonty-five years ago, was unmarried and had soino proporty, He was a dealer in railroad tios and drew a thousand dollars from the P. S. & L. E. Co. on Monday while in Butler. His younger brother, Allen, was killed on the railroad near Chartiere, last fall. The Only Place To Advertise. At the convention of general passenger agents of leading railroads held in Denver, gays an exchange, it was resolved to sus pend all other methods of advertising ex cept that of the newspapers. The experi ence of these men had fully demonstrated that money spent in railroad guides, hotel registers, fancy show cards and othor schemes of like character did not pay and should be prohibited. The newspaper is the natural and proper medium through which to reach the public, and this is the conclusion of all who have any knowledge upon the subject of advertising. All other devices are useless and worthless. The colnms of well established and reputable newspapers furnish the only proper means of directing the attention of the publio to what you have to sell. The most experi ■ enced business men realize this. m The Piinters of the "Citizen" to its W Readers. When iu the course of the Earth around the Sun and the due progression of the seasons the hot days of mid-summer and particularly those of the mid-summer holiday week approacheth, and it becoineth necessary that all mankind and especially 1 all printers should tako a brief season of rest, recreation and recuperation from the monotonous routine of types and galleys, f and to assume among the peoples of the Earth that separate and equal existenco to whioh the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them once a year, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to do so. We hold that these truths aro self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they arc endowod by their Croator with certain inalienable k rights; that among these are life, liberty ■ and the pwrm.il of happiness, and that to V seen*; those rights vr'o rrni«* 'Jowa and P ont of the harness and take a rest. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that cus toms long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and I .Accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing for a time the "form*" to which they are accustomed. Therefore as it has long been the custom of this office not to publish a paper on the week of the 4th of July we solemnly pub lish and declare our intention of not changing the custom this year, t J. 11.

The road is probably the most costly one in the State the expense being SIOO,OOO a mile. The road is only miles in length, but is very important from the fact that it is the con necting link in tho Beaver Valley. It starts from Limcton on the Pittsburg Jc Western, crosses the Connoquenessing over a bridge 05 feet high and then through a tunnel 700 feet in length it reaches tho new town of Ellwood City. A new branch of it joins tho Pittsburgh Western further down and another branch touches the Erie & Pitteburg and Pittsburgh Lako Erie roads. The latter connection ie to be made by a bridge across the Beaver river. The road is not entirely completed, only one track having been laid. When finished it will be double track. The lower bridge over the Connoquenessing has also been anchor ed, but the one over the Beaver river will not be completed for some time yet. The Kreat feature of the road is tho low grade. In a distance of miles the grade is only 17 feet to the mile, while on the old Pitts burg "Western track the line goes six miles to cover the same territory and has a grade of 40 feet to the mile. Besides this the Coniioquenefsing river is to be dammed in order to furnish compressed air power in tho factories at Ellwood—New Castle i Guardian. Borough Business. The special meeting of the Council, Tuesday evening was for the purpose of hearing the report of the Sewer Commit tee, and as they had made a thorough in spection of the sewers now in use; and a.- the sewers are being flushed regularly and work all right; tbey so reported: and the solicitor read a statement of the moneys paid in on the sewer assessments, aud motions to pay Mr. K. P. Hughes $10,2CE.- 1(3, and He.ssrs Ott Bros. #5.17(!00 of it, which is about 78 per cent o! their whole bills, carried. A petition of citizens ofS. Main St. pro testing against the proposed change in the grade of the return curbs at the Campbell alley, was read and aftorwards debated; aud the recommendation of the Paving Committee that a slight change be made was approved, though the debate was somewhat acrimonious and the proposed change stoutly contested. Mr. Keihing aslted for tho grade to bo established on Wayne St. between Main and McKean, and the Street Committee agreed .to attend to the matter next moru ing. One of the members of tbe Council stated the co:::plaints of citizens of North Main St. regarding some changes made on the grades of tho sidewalks, and the matters were referred to the Street Com mittee and Engineer. Some changes have heretofore been made by authority of the Committee, aud with out any authority at all. that are now proving very vexatious to the Council, and hereafter no changes will be made except ing by authority of the whole Council, aud the Engineer was directed to make a profile of all the graded streets. The matter of the Centre Ave. bridge — moving back the houses, building the wing wall, paying the damages and making the fill—was brought up and discussed; and on motion the president and secretary of the Council, by and with tbe advice and consent ol the finance committee, were authorized to draw such warrants as were needed to secure the removal of the houses to the extent ol SI,OOO, not to bo payable until after July Ist. Some of the people there want to use the wiug wall for their front wall, and will help pay for it. Sidewalks were ordered for both sides of McKean St. from the Opera House to Cuu ningbam St. The petition for the extension of the pav ing of Jefferson St. to Race St. was grant ed, and the Solicitor will prepare the ordi nance. The petition of the First Ward Hose Co. for 250 feet of new hose was held over for one week. The petition for a sewer on Franklin and Walnut Sts. to the McKean St. sewer was referred to the Sewer Committee. The private sewer put down on Franklin and Elm to Jefferson was approved. The petition of Mr. W. H. Vogan for a plumbers' license was referred to tho Sewer Committee. Licensed plumbers must give bond in SSOO, to do their work correctly, and all connections must be made under the eye of the City Engineer. Some other complaints regarding return curbs were referred to the Paving Com mittee. President Black invited the Council to the Elks' picnic, and secured a policeman for that day; and npon his assurance that the Elks' milk of human kindness would fill the bowl to the brim that day the in vitation was accepted. Council adjourned till next Tuesday eve ning. A New Strata. Some Harrisville folks aro drilling a test well on the AV. P. Braham farm, and thereby hang some tails —sheep tails. Part of the spudding was done last Sat urday aud the well was shut down over Sunday. On Monday they ran the 15-inch bit to complete the spudding and it struck some thing soft—very soft. One of.the drill ers reinarketfthat it felt as though they were drilling iu wool, and Mr. Barnes, the contractor was puzzled regarding it. How ever they drilled away for a while and then they ran the sand-pump, and sure enough they had been drilling in wool, for it came up full of sheep pelt, tails, feet uud heads. They brought up three sheep heads and Mr. Braham says he lost four sheep. It was the strtngest find ever found in an oil (T) well. The explanation of it is this. Mr. Bra ham raises Merinos, which are a small breed of sheep. Sunday was a hot day and the sheep crawled under the floor of the derrick to keep cool and some of them were crowded into the fifteen-inch hole, and were smothered or drowned by the time the drillers went to work next morning. It was an amusing incident for every body but the owner of the sheep and the shoep themselves. Young Man or Young Woman This is Addressed to You.
