LOCAL AND GENERAL. —"Ah, Spring is here —that is to say, It was here-jost the other day; But it is gone—that is to say. It had gone just the other day, And ere the poem may appear, Spring is—was—has been—may be—here.' —Dog* are beginning to display their hot weather pants. —A lump of sugar saturated with vinegar will cure hiccongbs. —Man wants but little here below, and t!ie. in >j >iity of them get it. —. ,iank God, Spring house cleaning and liih.g don't last all year. —The peach, cherry and apple trees w re in bloom at the same time this year. The grain is looking splendid, also tbo frui'. Barring a late frost this will be a .if abundance. —Some men never seem to get a clear understanding of the law until they study it in the seclusion of a penitentiary. A story is told of •* conductor who seized his wife's nose in his sleep and rang up three fares upon it beiore her shrieks awoke him. —Some slight changes has been made in the P. <fc. W. time table. The morning express to Allegheny now leaves Butler at 8:10; and tbe evening mail at 5:55. —lt is said that one main reason why some people would like to go to heavon is because they have heard that tho streets there are paved with gold. —lf that Bridge Committee is determin ed to build a bridge we suggest that it be built over Sullivan Run at West end of Penn St. where the street is flooded for rods at every high water. —They drove right on. Two men driv ing down Vain street at a rapid gait last Friday night, ran into a buggy and rent it asunder; bnt did not see St to stop and see who.se property they had injured. —About a hundred of the fastest wheel men in the country are now engaged in a race between Chicago and New Tork. The distance is 1000 miles and they expect to make it in 100 honrs. —At the meeting of the Allegheny Clases of tne Reformed Church in the Sonth Side Church, Butler Monday, Rev. Ling of liraddock was elected President, Kev. Snyder of Butler, Corresponding Secreta ry; Rev. Conroy of Allegheny, Treasurer, and Rev. Harnish ot Butler, Stated Clerk. —The new law does not require Assess ors to make alphabetical lists, bnt most of them are so doing. The lists should be completed as soon as possible and hung at the window for general inspection be fore the 61st and 60th days previous to the election come around. —Some of the papers are disposed to oriticise the fact that Mrs. Alice Shaw recently whistled at a sacret concert in Boston. For ourselves, we can't see why whistling music through the mouth is any less sacred than singing through the nose. —Franklin Xew*. —The time has come, says the Bradford Era, when the man who punctuates his conversation with the excruciating "see 1" should be taken, see,down the silent, cold, running creek, see, somewhere below the the bridge, see, and dropped iu until he would never again, see, prove his idiocy with his execrable use of the word. —A man drove by last Sunday followed by two dogs—a black and a yellow one. The dogs spied a yellow cat and took after it; the cat sought safety iu a street*sewer and the dogs followed, one going in each end. The cat slipped past the yellow dog and found safety under a boardwalk, and the .black dog stock in the sewer. Now which dog was the joke onf —The sixteen members of the graduat ing class of the High School "did them selves proud" in every particular; their stage was handsomely set and tastifully decorated; Carl Barclay's salutatory was well worded and well delivered; Linnie Bonner's class incidents and personalities in rhyme, and those of Florence Fisher iu prose were as cute as could be; Don Find ley is a true prophet; Leah Richev and Chas. McElvain did nobly; Sallie Fleeger's essay on the poet Payne jras splendid; Chas. Fisher is the making of a statesman, and Anna Cronenwett is a born Elocution ist. If it were not for these graduating ex ercises the people of Butler would be una ware of the mountains of virtue and talent that exist in our midst. At the meeting of Council Tuesday night more lights were petitioned for; streets in different parts of the town have been reported as impassable; more water plugs for lire protection are needed in several quarters, and the reason these necessary improvements are not made is because there is no money in the treasury. At every moeting ot the town Council for some time past things that ought to have been done have been delayed on account of lack of funds. The receipts of the general fund for this year are estimat ed at from ten to eleven thousand; the lighting of the town which has already been contracted for, will, when all reason, able additions are made, probably cost the town nearly or fully $5,000 a- year; the water costs $1,500, and it will take fully as much more to cover the salaries of the Bugiueer, Counsel and Clerk. That makes SB,OOO, loaves but from $2,000 to $3,000 for repairing the streets, fire plugs, cul verts and the innumerable reparing and improvements called for each year. And yet, with this state of affairs existing a measure to build a bridge across the gully in Boyd's woods from the head of Brown avenue to the end of Glenn avenue was put through Council Tuesday night. The bridge is to be of trestle work, 135 feet long .with a sixteeu foot roadway, which, with abutments and approaches will prob ably cost a thousand dollars. The location is a beautiful one for a rustic bridge, but it has been there a long time aud there is no danger of it running away, and to tako from our scanty funds at present for a bridge over it, and thus sacrifice necessary improvements would, in our opinion, le an imposition upon the rest of the town. The matter was referred to a committee witji power to act, and they should make haste slowly. Don't forget as on Iloßiery and Glores, we always have the- best at lowest prices L.

Quite a number of people were present at the meeting of Council Tuesday night, with petitions and complaints—Frank Kohler appeared for John Stein in the matter of the change of grade for his side walk on S. Alain street and it was referred to the Sidewalk Com. to report at next meeting; he also appeared for Jos. Rock enstein, committee of F. P. Baldauf who will claim damages for tho opening of E.

Ilaben who will claim damages for the opening of East Clay St.; W. H. I.usk called tbe attention of Coun cil to a dangerous excavation at crossing of Clay and Bluff Streets: A. M. Cornelius for citizens of the West End presented a petition for more electric lights in that quarter; R. B. Fowzer, Mr. Karns and Mr. Devinny complained of the filthy run near their properties, and the Clerk was directed to notify the parties who are yet sewering into it to cease doing so immediately; Dr. Balphcomplainsd of the iiltliy condition of a neighboring lot, and John 11. Heiber asked for a grade for Mer cer St. and the Engineer was instructed to make a profile of the street. Tbe ordinances opening Kast and West Clay streets were passed and the Conrt will be asked to appoint viewers, etc. A resolution was passed increasing tbe borough indebetedne.-s by s<B,ooo for tbe building of tbe two main sewers up the creek from tho Centre avenue bridge to the W"est Penn depot on one side and Plato Glass works on the other. There will be four bonds of $2,000 each, bearing fonr per cent, interest, and payable in "o*3, '9". '9B jnd "99, from tbe 0 mill tax. A petition for a sewer on Brady street was referred to the Sewer Committee and Engineer. An assignment of Long «V Doyle to tbe Franklin Brick Co. was paid in orders, SSOO now. and the balance, something over SI,OOO, in 00 days; An assignment of same tirm to Jacob Sbeasley was filed; the Matthew Brown cow matter remains unsettled; tbe people of Polk St. want an electric light; Smith, Porter & Co. asked for money; the petition of A Kummer and A Blymiller to allow their slaughter houses to remain where they are was refused; some sidewalks on Chestnut street will be advertised; a livery stable sewer nuisance was ordered abated; a complaint regarding a sidewalk was re erred to the Sidewalk Committee and the clerk was directed to notify several people on X. Main street, S. McKean, Wayne and other streets to change their sidewalks to grade immediately. Tbe Secretary was directed to notify Long & Doyle to complete their con tract immediately or tbe Council will do it and deduct from tbe contract price. The proposed sewers fo accommodate the people of South Main street were dis cussed, and referred to the Sewer Commit tee and Engineer with power to act. The ladies of tho South Side propose erecting a water lountain on Centre Ave., and tne matter was referred to tho Sewer Committee and Mr. Harper. The Borough Engineer presented his plans for the bridge over the gully on the Boyd property on the South Side by which it is proposed to connect the west end of Glenn avenue with tbe head of Brown Ave. The plan is fur a trestle-work bridge 135 feet long, 20 feet high at tbe highest point or an average of about 15 feet; 22 feet wide at the ground, 1G foot roadway, and 2" stone Inundations lor up right; and the Engineer estimated the cost of the woodwork at $l5O and the stone foundations at SSO, with nothing said of abutments, or filling Mr Ziegler thinks tbe job will cost double tbe estimate anil spoke against it as being unnecessary and one that will further deplete an already depleted treasuery. He also said that tho South Side had already received by one-third more than its share of improvements. Mr. Harper said the Eeople of Glenn and Brown Avenues ad no outlet. Mr. Hite referred to the almost impassable condition of some of our streets and thought the money should be placed there. Mr. Perrine said that he and Mr. Wheeler had already spent SSOO ol their own money on Glenn Ave., and thought the town should help them out on it, that thoy had paid lor their own water and sewer facilities over there, that S4OOO had been appropriated forstreets, etc., and the matter was referred back to the same Committee which authorized tho plans be ing made, with power to act.

The fish liar can take a hack seat, as the following from the Bristol Observer will prove: Charley Dillon, of Bristol, has a trained "colt" which performs all sorts of comical tricks. ,One of these tricks of the colt, which Charley has been fifteen years trying to break it of, is the habit it Las of ciimbing the'itiof of the barn and sliding down on its hannches as if it was a toboggan slide. Charley thought he would spoil the colt's fan by driving nails part way into the shingles bnt the cunning ani mal found a piece of tin roof up the alley and used that to sit on when sliding down the toboggan. About six years ago Chas. Harrington was arrested at a lumber camp near Em lenton, where he was living with a 13-year old girl named Raver. whom he had per suaded to leave her home at the village of Garfield, in Warren county. The girl's father, Robert Raver, found and reclaim ed her after she had been gone about a week. He had Harrington arrested, tried and convicted on a charge of abduction and seduction, and Judge Taylor of Ve nango Cow sent him for a four years' so journ in the penitentiary. When his term expired, Harrington went straight to Gar field. lie went to the Raver residence on Sunday, when only the two girls were present, lie subjected them to indigni ties, flourished a revolver, and swore he would kill his former girl aud the whtle family if she did not go with him. When the father came home ho pretended to Harrington that everything was all right. Next day. however, he had Harrington arrested for threats and carrying conceal ed weapons, aud in March, 1801, the ac cused was convicted and sentenced to fifteen months in the Pea. At that time Harrington swore he would have revenge on Raver. His sentenced expired a few days ag". He once more made straight for Garfield. About 10 o'clock Thursday night of last week, he presented nimself at Raver's house and demanded to see the girl. Raver was absent in West Virginia, and only the girl and her brother, Floyd, aged 14. were at home. They refused to admit Harrington, who began to batter down the door. Floyd ran to an adjoin ing room, got a Winchester rifle, brought it to the door, and sent a ball through Harrington's forehead.killing him instant ly. Harrington retired from futher business, at the age of 26. A coroner's jury found a verdict justifying young Raver. It is said that not many years ago a Du- Bois woman in buying some old clothes for the purpose ot making carpet rags, was horrified to come across the pantaloons in which her husband had been bnried sev eral weeks before. She was positive of their identity for she herself had woven the cloth anil put in the silk lining on which she had worked her husband's ini tals. No investigation was ever made. The grave remains to-day without a tomb stone. At Eric, Sunday, thirty-two houses were placarded lor diphtheria, a large portion of cases proving fatal During an outbreak in Jannary last the school board refused to close the schools at the request of the Health Officer Woods. To morrow morn ing the Court will take action on a motion for a mandamus closing the public schools lor three weeks. The Ked Lion sale stables in Pittsburg were destroyed by tire early Wednesday morning. Thirty-five horses were burned iu them, and several more in the Alvin stables adjoining. Prof. J. E. Morrow has been elected Principal of the Allegheny High School; and Prof. Arbuckle has been dismissed from the Principalship of the Oth ward schools; for beastly conduct with the boys. Shorthand. The Butler school of Shorthand and Typewriting will open its summer term on Wednesday, the Ist of June, 1892, in room® l on the second floor of the new Armory Building. This will give those who attend the public schools an opportunity to com plete the full course of three months iu time for school in the fall. The session will be from 9 to 12 A. u. each day except Saturday, and by faithful, diligent attention and practice during that time any person with a fair knowledge of spelling, pronunciation and grammai; can obtain a thorough mastery of all the principles of short band, and by practice become a perfect stenographer. Shorthand is not one of tho lost arts, although many think so. II the common idea was true that a person had to memo rize a sign for every word in the language it might well be called so, for no one could do that. Such is not the case, there being but forty-five characters used in shorthand writing, and it is as easily learned as any of the common branches taught at school. In this age of steam and electricity it is a necessity, and as a study, as a profession, as an aid to education, as an art which elevates and dignifies human character is worthy the careful attention of every youth, paient and guardian. Chas. Keade in his work on "Tha Coming Man" says: "I advise all parents to have their boys and girls taught Shorthand and 'Typewriting. A shorthand writer who can Typewrite his notes would be safer from poverty than a great Greek scholar." P. T. Barnum, in the Cosmopolitan saj's: "Every young person of both sexes, should at least learn Shorthand and Type writing. 1 cannot conceive that one who kiiows these two branches thoroughly will ever need to go hungry in the present generation, for they have a constantly widening use." Chas Sumner: "Shorthand has saved uie fifteen years of my life." The system taught is Graham's, the one I believe to be the best, and that one I have used in my Court work hero for tho past five years. Tho Text Book aud Methods are the very best and latest on the subject, and Remingtons the machines used. TKBMS: Six dollars a month in advance, which includes everything except blank paper, and wbeu paid at the end of the terra S2O. For further information call on or write, FRANK E.

"Pants are made for men and not men for pants. Women are made for men and not pants. When a man pants for a woman and a wo man pants for a man, they are a pair of pants. Such pants don't last. Pants are like molasses —they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. The man in the moon changes his pants during the eclipse. Don't you go to the pantry for pants: you may be mistaken. Men are often mistaken in pants. Such mistakes make breeches of promise. There has been mnch discussion whether pants are singular or plural. Seems to us when men wear pants they are plural and when they don't wear any pants it is singular. Men get on a tear in their pants and it is all right, but when the pants get on a tear it is all wrong.'* Decoration Day Excursion. The P. S. &L. E. 11. R.
