of *ll expi-nse. The paper will begin ibe
publishing ol the ballots on Monday next,

In tbla county.
—The Formers Institute will meet in

will be dispensed, bard-tack, coffee. cake,

Every man in town is heartily invited to

—The British agricultural papers con
stantly contain advertisements like this:
Sugar and Molasses for Cattle Feeding.
Inproves condition of Animal; increases
Milk; Farmers supplied on best terms.—
Woodbnrn <fc Co., Virginia St., Glasgow.
Which seems to indicate that sweets
enter into cattle feeding there to a much
greater extent than is imagined by tbe
farmers of this country.
—One caution shonld be especially ob
served in the choice of toys for very little
children. They should be such as would
prove harmless to the child should he take
a fancy to test their flavor. Most of us
are familiar with the moving tale of Little
Willie, who "had a red and yellow monkey
climbing on a purple stick," and have
beard how
He went and sucked the paint ofT,
And it bim very sick.
They staffed bim down with calomel,
In hopes to move his liver;
But all in vain—bis little soul
Was wafted o'er the river.
Tbe parents who wish to avert such
heartrending cata.--trophes Irom tbeir own
offspring should purchase paiiitless wooden
toys, cbina or rubber dolls, and woolly
animals.
—There is a swindle being practiced of
which uo intelligent men bbould be a
victim. Bn". intelligent men are no usaal
ly victims of swindles. This is an insur
ance swindle. It is described thns: "A
stranger goes around insuring property,
and delivers a handsome policy If tbe
farmers building never burns h« never
knowß that he has been swindled, but it
they do and he begins to look around for
his money be finds that there is not and
never was snch a company. The pretend
ed agent pockets tbe premium, and that is
tbe last you ever hear of bim or bis
company." There is no need of any one
being caught in this way. Butlor and
every other town of any siz* has reputable
agents representing reliable companies.
Keep yoar property well insured, but know
that it is with a reliable agent in a reliable
company.
—lt is a fact not known to most persons
that microbes cannot live in an acid me
dium. Tbe acids which the stomach se
cretes in a healthy condition destroy tbe
germs of disease that may be introduced
into it, jnst as they destroy parasites, such
as trichics Furthermore, the common
use of lemon jaice against diptheria and
scurvy is widely known, and it is hardly
necessary to remind my readers that in the
treatment of complaints of the stomach,
hydrochloric acid is most efficacious in
chocking bad forms of fermentation.
The practical conclusioa to be drawn
from theso facts is not difficult to find and
it is one that will interest everybody—
in these days of epidemics drink water con
taining citric acid. It can be made by
.«qneezii,g half a lemo.x into « litre of
er and -.land halt an nour
Tbe can be taken in
all said to be absolutely
pare. Persons who may not like the
slightly sour taste coming from the lemon
have only to add a small quantity of bicar
bonate of soda to neutralize the acid aud to
bavo the wa er regain its natural tas;e.
It is, therefore, possible to preserve ones
self from cholera by using slightly acid
drinks.
—A. fly-by-night party of hams and barn
stormers calling themselves a ' theatrical
company," once upon a lime lit down in
Bethleham when it was not such a lively,
go-ahead business place as it now is, and
made the announcement that they would,
as a great favor, play "Qamlet" on their
first night. The Shakesperiau drama hail
not bad a production for many a long day,
and the populace were willing to pnt up
shekel* to see it, albeit the appearance of
the "company" would n >t l««d to the sup
position that they were all Booths and
Barretts and Mary Andersons and
Julia Marlowe#. In the company was one
Kent wh» drank heavily, and it was unfor
tunaie that ou the night of the perform
ance, when ho had been cast for the ghost,
he indulged too freely, and when the cur
tain went up be was l>ing in a heap in the
corner, knocked ont. Here was a dilem
tna, but the stage manager was equal to
the emergency. H« hurriedly pressed in
to service one of the stage bands, a big
Pennsylvania Dutchman, who knew very
little English, and dril'ed him for half au
hour on what he »as to say. "Sow, 1 ' said
the stage mauagcr, "when you go on the
Stage, you must walk across and say sol
elumy'l am tby father's ghost.' Thai's al<
you have te say. Do yoo think you can
remember that f" The native ihonght be
Could, and be went into one of the wings
and repeated the phrase over and over
again. When be got the cne to go on the
stage there reached him at the same time
a terrible case oI stage fright, which entire
ly knocked the English phrase ont ol his
head. But bo weut ou, and walking across
the stage he looked at Hamlet and said in
deep, guttural tones: "Ich bin dy daddy's
spook," repea ing it several times. The
other players stuffed handkerchiefs into
their mouths and turned their backs to
the audience to cono-al their mirth, but
the audience went wildly hysterical, and
demanded an encore. Those present af
terwards inristed that the Uhost was tha
star of fhe evening, but his first appearance
was bis last.—Harris burg Telegraph.
—Owing to tbe rapidly increasing
circulation, the Pittsburgh Cronicle
Telegraph has found it d»*cessary to
purchase, at the cost of $75,000, two
of Hoe's Doable Supplement Perfect
iutr Priming Presses. The usual
difficulties incident to setting uprucb
machinery will explain the d» lays
during tbe last week iu tbe arrival of
the papers. When iu tboronsh work

LEGAL NEWS.
WOTE».
The license of C. Snodgrass, of Butler
was transterred to Herman Leibold, last
Thursday, by Judgo Martin.
The decision of Judge Woodward, of the
Luzerne courts, against the right of a su
pervisor to employ members of his own
family or tenuis o» ned by themselves iu
the work of road repairs should be gener
ally known. The laws very properly for
bid the public officials from profiting by
their o»n delegated authority in ttia mat
ter of contracts, and this decision would
no doubt be reaffirmed by the most of tne
Judges o! the Slate were the mutter prop
erly brought before them. Persons violat
ing to plain a principle of iaw cam ot legal
ly collect tbe money alleged to be due for
such service. The decision is iu harmony
with tbe law as well as with common
seuse, and its enforcement would aid in
preventing a very common iu case
of such officials.—Reading Times.

Amory Opera House.
MOSDAT. —JULIUS C.ESAR.
Shakespeare's "Julius Cißsar" will be
presented Monday evening next at the
Opera House with Mr Charles Hatiford in
the heroic role of Marc Antony, to whom
the rnont picturesque and finest scenes of
the famous tragedy are given. Mr. Han
ford while new as a star is known favora
bly as having in the past supported the
great tragedians, Booth and Barrett, and
he should be most cordially welcomed by a
large audience The Marc Antony of Mr
Hanford is drawn in lamiliiar and tradi
tional lines, and his impersonation of the
char&cter pleasing graceful and generally
forcible Aside from the great actors
whom this city has seen in this tempestu
ous part Mr Hauford is one of the most
satisfactory exponents of the character.
The merry ature of Antony, which gives
a little bint of his later life, fiuds sugges
tion in the meeting with Cassius before the
battle at Pbillippi, and throughout Mr.
Hanford is careful and expressive.
The performance will be presented with
all tiie magnificence of scenery and costotn
ing what so marked the Kooth Barrett
production, and will certainly prove one of
the important events of the theatrical seas
on in Butler.
