DELBARTE AS HE IS TAUGHT.
First yon bang your hair,"
Then you bang ths stair;
Bat yon don't get there
Till yon devitalize at will.
Meanwhile if in your cranium you do not
start a cog.
All the rest's as easy as falling off a log.
—The bottle works started np this week.
—A fresh tomato leaf is a sovereign cure
for a bee sting.
—Oil sold at 01 cts a bbl, yesterday
morning. '
—Our merchants intend giving Main St.
a grand and thorough cleaning for Fair
week.
—lf we have Fair weather next week
the beautiful grounds west of town will be
crowded.
—That Yankee Doodle poetry in another
column will set aU the yoang men in town
crazy.
—There are quite a number of cases of
typhoid fever in town, though the form is
a mild one
—The Campbell Hose Co., accompanied
by the Germania Band, went to Olean, N.
Y., Wednesday aft., to attend the Fire
man's Tournament there next day.
—Postmaster Eastman has received in
struction* from the Post Master General to
inspect all tho post offices in the county—
eighty-two in number—and make report of
them by Cct. 15.
—Commissioner Kistcaddon took charge
of the Wick House Tuesday, and will en
deavor to maintain its reputation as a first
class hostelry. Some improvements are
being made, and the rates will remain the
•ame as under the old manegement.
—A couple of Butler men bought the
Iferry-Go-Round now running on Kling
ler's lot for $1300; one of them paid $400;
the other failed to come to time, the old
o.vners have replevined the concern, and
the man who paid the S4OO may lose it.
—The last concert of the P. If. N. I.
was an immense success. The church
room was crowded, the program was car
ried out to perfection and to Prof. Brown
the people of Butler acknowledge them
selves indebted for awakening the musical
talent of the town.
—The editor of the New Castle Graphic
■eems disposed to band ont the unvarnish
ed truth about the Lawrence county fair,
held in that placo last week. He says that
outside of the attendance the fair was a
failure—poor premiums, poor exhibits, at
tractions cheap and dizzy.
—A law has been passed by the Geogia
Legislature disqualifying doctors from
practice if they get drank. Upon being
duly oonvicted the accused is made sub
ject to a heavy penalty if he should at
terop to practic again. He may practice at
the bar, but not at medicine.
—"The accident, madam,said the young
surgeon, encouragingly, as he made his
preparations to sew up the wound in the
lip the infant had received by falling down
a stairway, 'will leave a scar, ol course,
but twenty years from now, when the
little fellow has grown to be a man and
raised a mustache, it won't show a bit."
"It isn't a baby of that kind doctor,"
replied the anxious but entirely self
possessed mother.
—lt is expected that Jas. A. Chambers,
of Pittsburg will make an assignment this
week, and as he is one of the largest stock
holders in the Plate Glass works here, bis
failure may complicate the affairs of that
conoern. Chambers' liabilities and assets
are ranged all the way froms4oo,ooo to $750,-
000 and bis partner, Seller McKee, is said
to be the man who is pushing him.
—There has always been more Smiths
about Butler tban people of any other
name and at present there are thirty-two
people of that name here, who are either
beads of families or single individuals
receiving their mail at different places.
Mail is left for people of the name of
Campbell «t twenty-four places, and for
people of the name of Brown at eighteen
places. Tbere are eight John Millers in
Butler, six William Campbells, five John
Smiths, five Mrs. Lizzie Millers, four John
Browns, four J. W. Hutchisons, three
Jobn Campbells, two James Moores, two
Alf. Wicks, two David Dales, and so on,
which shows the necessity of addressing
mail matter to number and street. The
Millers of Butlor at present outnumber
the Smiths, —tbere being forty-seven heads
of families or single individuals of that
name, receiving their mail matter at
different points, in the town.
The dog days now are over,
But believe me if you will,
'Tis easy to discover
TbdT the dogs are with us still.

—This is a scrap ot law that may not be
familliar to very many: "A finder of
property is compelled to make diligent
inquiry for the owner thereof, and to re
store the same. If on finding such proper
ty, he attempts to conceal such fact he
may be prosecuted for larceny.
—lt is now possible to pass over the Cen
tre Ave, or Freeport, bridge, and though
grading is being done on both E. Wayne
and the south end of McKean Sts, they
will probably be passable next week. The
north end of Main St. is completed. West
Jefferson is closed at present, but may be
opened to the public next week, otherwise

it is dangerous for people, and particularly

He and the fellows who cha >e the darkey
girls should be exhibited in a glans case.

ing and it ha* bought a lot and proposes
bnilding a two story hall 30x70 feet. The
officers of the lodge are Counsellor, J. G.
English; V. C., J. C. Roxberry; Kec. Sec'y
E. L. English; Financial Sec'y, P. H.
Sechler; Treas. J. P. Hays.
—The Independent Gas Co. of Butler is
laying a 3-inch line to the Lensner farm near
Jefferson Centre, which will cost them
about $12,000, and the Home Co. is drilling
some new wells iu Winfield twp.—the gas
territory abont Butler being almost entire
ly exhausted. The line ol the Hume Co.
to Winfield Co. is ten inches at liutler and
six inches at the wells, and the pressure is
holding up very well. The pressure of the
wells of the Westmoreland Co. fields has
decreased from 500 lbs. to abont 70. Mr.
A. L. llovis is laying the new 3 inch line
at 18 cts. a foot.
—The bi-carbonate department ol the
Salt MTg Co's works at Natrona was
destroyed by fire early last Sunday morn
ing. The building burned was known as
the "stone-building" a two story structure
about 200 feet long, and was considered
fire proff. It was fitted with steam pumps
and fire apparatus, but the boilers bad
been blown out to make some repairs, and
consequently the pumps could not be nsed.
The loss is stated by one paper to be
SIOO,OOO, and by another $1,000,000,
covered by insurance. The fire threw a
couple of hundred men out of employment.
The capital stock of this Co. is $2,000,000,
and it is the largest Chemical plant in
the country. The cryolite from which
soda and aluminum are produced. Is
| brought from Greenland, the only place
'where deposits of it exist. The company
has an exclusive right on this line of manu
facture. The pyrites, from which sulphuric
acid is produced, is brought from Spain
Copper, silver and gold are extracted from
the materials used in the various processes.
—As mosquitoes are unusually numerous
this year, some facts regarding them may
not be out of place. In the first place it is
only the female mosquito ♦,hat annoys us,
the male behaves himself, and sucks grass
and leaves for a living, but the female is
devilish (as usual) and wants blood.
During the day she sleeps and lays ber
eggs on the surface of any stagnant water,
but when the shades of evening come ou
she starts out, makes trouble for her
betters, and occasionally gets mashed on a
man. The little boat or raft of eggs that
she builds on the water, looks like a speck
of soot, but if yon look sharp you will sec
the difference, and if yon take one up you
can scatter the eggs over the end of your
finger with the point of a needle. The
gun hatches the eggs,and the little skippers
live in the water, heads down, they
breath through their tails, and by and by
a white sack forms around tbem, and they
float to the top, and the sun breaks the
sack, and the full fledged mosquito flies off
—unless the water happens to be disturbed
at the critical moment, in which case the
young mosquito drowns. In some parts of
the world mosquitoes are so large and so
numerous, that they have been known to
stirfg people to death, and in other parts
they are used to inoculate for yellow fever,
just as we inoculate hero for small-pox.
Ordinary soap, ammonia, and other things
help to relieve the irritation caused by the
sting of the mosquito, and a solution of
one part of ammonium sulphate to five
parts of water, will make mosquito netting
noc-in flammable.
Bricks Without Burning.
When a fellow goes -where he is not
wanted and gets kicked out, goes back
again aud gets kicked out again, and yet
continues to return, it is fair to presume
that he continues to get kicked—and that
is about the state of affairs in regard to the
paving brick sent here by the firm of
Smith, Porter & Co., of West Virginia.
The lirst carload of these brick, that
came here for East Jefferson St., seemed
to be all right, but our Council soon dis
covered that a very inferior quality of
brick wa- being put into the street, and
condemned them. This led to a lengthy
discussion in the Council room, and to an
agreement between the Council on the one
side, and Long <fc Doyle, with Smith, Por
ter <t Co., as snreties, on the other, that
the Council would allow that street to be
finished with the condemned brick, provid
ed the parties of the second part put op a
good bond in $5,000, g-iaranteeing again.-t
the action of frost, etc., for five years.
That bond was prepared by the Borongh
Solicitor,and at the instance Mr. Porter, an
other bond for SIO,OOO was made out em
bracing the threo streets contracted for by
Long <fc Doyle. The second bond alone
was returned, and as the Council had not au
thorized it, it was rejected; but in the
meantime Smith, Porter <i* Co.'s brick kept
hopping on the cars at the works, and the
car> danced along merrily to Butler, and
now there are fifteen ol them standing at
the depot here.
At the meeting of Council Tuesday even
ing Mr. Porter of the brick firm, appeared
with Col. Thompson as counsel, aud the
Col. made a speech complimenting the
Council on the work done on the streets
and hoping for an adjustment of this mat
ter. Mr. Porter also spoke, and went over
his misunderstanding of the bond matter,
his method of testing brick, etc.
Eng. McQuistion stated the results of
some further tests of brick as follows — the
half of one of the sample bricks furnished
by Long <fc Doyle absorbed but one-half
oz. of water in two hours, while tho half of
a brick taken from tho pile on the street
absorbed 5 3-4 oz. in the same time.
Messrs. Perrine and Harper of the Coun
cil had also been experimenting with brick
from *Vellsville. 0., and Smith, Porter i
Co.'s., and while t:.e Ohio brick had ab
sorbed but one oz. the S., P. <fc Co. brick
had absorbed six ozs. in same time.
Mr. Forqner went over the whole case,
clearly and forcibly, and the former action
of the"Council was* sustained, which means
that the Council will not accept East Jef
ferson St. without the bond, and that they
will not allow S., P. <t Co.'s brick to go on
West Jefferson St. or Centre Ave.
The trouble with Messrs. Daubenspeck
and Pollock as to the 15 inch sewer has
been arranged; the new hose was given to
the First Ward Co; several petitions for
board-walks were referred to the commit
tee and bids will be taken for walk on East
Cunningham St. and the owners of the
Heiner lot on North Main St. will be noti
fied; a substantial bridge will be built over
the school house alley and the alley barri
caded; Mr. Osborne was voted $*2,000, on
account; the nuisance from Duffy's livery
stables will be abated in 48 hours or the
High Constable will do it; bills aggregat
ing several hundred dollars were Approved,
the largest being to Jos. W. Graham $264
for the Centre Ave. culvert; and the Coun
cil adjourned till next Tuesday evening.

To the Farmers in Particular
and the Public in General.
In additiou to our first-class roller
wheat flour mill, which we built last
epringr, and which has proven a suc
cess, we have just added the latest
improved machinery for making
buckwheat and rye flour. This
machinery can not be excelled. We
will be able to make you as good a
quality of buckwheat flour and as
good a yield as can be made in the
country. v\ e have a complete mill,
which will prove itself:
First, a first-class wheat roller flour
mill, which makes as good a quality
of flour as is shipped from the West
or elsewhere.
Second, the best buckwheat flour
mill in the State.
Third, a rye flour mill that makes
as good flour as is in the market.
Fourth, corn meal and chopping
mills that do complete work.
We also manufacture Graham flour
of the best quality. Therefore we
say without fear of contradiction that
we have the best mill for accom
modating the farmer and public in
general that there is in Butler county.
We make a specialty of grinding your
grain at once, so that you take it
home with you and save an extra
trip.
It will pay to buy your Hour at our
mill, as we make a strictly No. 1
grade of flour and sell it at as low
figures us it can be bought anywhere.

Oil Notes.
The flames of the burning well at Mc-
Donald were extinguished last Thursday
by the use of a piece of easing which was
contracted at one end until it would slip
a short distance into the top of the casing
in the well. This was screwed into the
lower end of a "T," a conductor into the
side of it, anl another shoit piece, called
a nipple, on the upper end of it. On the
last a gate, or throttle, vas screwed, and
thsn all was in readiness. At the proper
moment it was placed right over the well
dopped into the top of the casing and some
railroad iron piled on it to hold it there.
This done the gate at the top of the con
trivance, which up to that momenet hail
been left open to give free vent to the flow
was closed and the fire effectually cut off,
or, rather its fuel was cut off and it died
out. The fit of the joint thus made is so
perfect that no oil at all escapes through
itjis though the production of the well is 70
barrels an hour.
Tait A Co's Xo. 2 on the Allen heirs
reached the sand Wednesday aud began
flowing. It is thought she will make a

During the month of August 44 wells
were completed in this county, 8 of which
were dry, and the production of the
balance is put at 1,593. Seventy-seven
wells are drilling and 35 rigs are up.
Philips is starting a well on the .widow
Snyder farm near the lamp-black factory,
and he is also drilling on the Kuittle atid

venient packages. The meal Is put up with
great care, and Is of use In so many ways that
no home should be without It. For young
children It Is a delightful, nutritious and
healty food when boiled In milk, aud for In
valids It Is desirable In many ways. For making
gruel it has no superior, ami better cakes are
much Improved by its use in much the same
proportion as Indian meal Is often used.
Marvin will lie at the ntlsburg Exposition
with an exhibit of hue breads, fresh cakes aud
crackers that has never been surpassed In
America, aud that nobody who comes to Pitts
burg during the big show thoulil miss seeing
Marvin's cakes and crackers have a reputation
that extends from the Atlantic to the Facitlc.
The season is that they arc made from the
purest of pure materials, baked fresh every
day. and packed with the greatest care. You
