Last week iti noticing the proposed im provements of the old grave-yard ofßutler, one of our papers spoke of David Cunning ham as the one who made the grant of that ground to this borough for burial purposes, and stated that his remains were placed iu and lay there. This is a mistake as to the first name. It was not David, but John and Samuel Cunningham who gave that ground and who were the founders cf Butler, and it is the remains of John Cun ningham that lie there. John and Samuel came out here from Lancaster county as the agents of Robert Morris about the time the County was formed, 1800, and became owners of the tract of land upon which much of Butler stands, including this first burial place. John died in 1805, and was buried in this ground and, like M:<ses of old, no man now knows the exact spot of bis resting place. Samuel, in consequence of the death of his brother, sold out in 1806, all his possessions here and removed back to the eastern part of the State. David Cunningham, we believe was a re lative of John and Samuel, but a much younger man and came to this county at a much later date. His home generally we think was up in Allegheny or Venango | township and ho died there within the rec ollection of some of our present citizens. J. H. N. For Sale.

The large (louring mill of Grove «t Ilillier ! ut L'tica, Venango county, was destroyed jby (ire at 1:30 Sunday morning. The loss j is estimated at $9,000, on which there was an insurance of $7,500. The fire is suppos ed to have been caused by tramps, who were seen around the mill the evening be fore, and shortly alter the fire was discover two men were seen running across the bridge from the direction of the mill. Nothing w»s saved from the mill. A remarkable intelligence was exhibited by "Dan," one of MrGuigan <£ Stubler's livery horses, .Monday forenoon, at Oil City. Sunday night the horse was brought into the stable lame, and the sta ble men thought it was a sprain. They were rubbing the leg with liniment Mon day morning when the horse broke away from them and ran into Parson's black smith shop, on the same street. Here he wheeled up to the "-"rseshoer and lifted up his laaie leg. The man examined the leg and foot and found that an improperly driven nail had penetrated the quick of the loot. The shoe wa< re- set and the horse retuiucu to me barn The hor.->e has been owned by the lirm for the p ist four years, but this is the lirst time he has gone to the blacksmith shop voluntarily.

Lawrence county's masked burglars are ugain committing their midnight outrages on the people of that county, after a temp orary cessession of a few weeks. Thurs day night of last week three of them broke into the house of Squire Thomas Johnson, a well known and prosperous farmer, near New Wilmington. They forced the door open just as Mr. Johnson was going to bed and rushing upon him threw him down roughly. The noise awakened Mrs. John son, who on coming down stairs was quick ly covered with a revolver and ordered to keep quiet. Taking a bunch of keys from the Squire's pocket they opened his desk and took SSO which they found there, and a freshly baked cake which they found in the pantry. Squire Johnson is a prosper ous farmer, about CO years of age, and owns a farm of 300 acres on which he lives. Burglars also entered the house of Thomas Taylor, near Princeton. Lawrence Co., the same ni>tht,after S3OO of back pension which Mr. Taylor had just received, but were frightened away without getting it, by Mr. Taylor firing several shots to alarm the neighborhood. It would seem those New Castle detectives we hear about once in awhile might distinguish themselves by capturing some of these gentry. J. T. Evans and Carrie Boyd eloped from Kittaning, on Saturday.

Th- grapo growing business in the grape uel; along the shore of Lake Erie has grown into such vast proportions that exp' r'S are uow predicting a glutted mar ket and au unprofitable season. This spring tbere will be more than 2,000 acn s of new vines set out, with the prospects ot a greater increase a year from this time. Even plum and peach orchards are being torn up by the roots to make place for the vines. Last year the growers had to hus tie to get 18 cts. for grapes. If tho price to the grower should go below 15 cts. it means disaster, for grapes can't be sold at a profit under that tigure. Prohibition Convention. Quite a number of Prohibitionists met in the W.

A "voracious" correspondent at Mercer says that while A. H. McElrath was eat ing a lunch in the woods below Mercer the other day, while out on a hunting ex pedition, he heard a sharp, buzzing sound and was scared in about as many different ways as there are hairs in his head at see ing a large rattlesnake coiled ready to spring. Archy got in the first spring him self—-it will be noticed this is an early spring story—and jumped clear over the reptile. The crotalus horridus took after him, however, and it was only after re peated attempts that Archie finally slew the crawling monster and recovered suffic iently to note that it was 34 inches long and had 14 rattles. Unkind people will kindly refrain from remarking about Mer cer having a license now. otc. "We trust Mr. McElrath has the rattles, not for pub lication but as an evidence of good faith.

OKLY A FARMER'S DAUGHTER, FRIDAY, APRIL 28. "Only a Farmer's Daughter"as rewritten is without doubt one of the strongest and best emotional plays on fjie stage. The story proper Is familliar to every theater goer in America, because like no other play ever writton, it has been fifteen suc cessive years before the public. The new version retains the same* beautiful story, and many thrilling and naturally in cidents and powerful dramatic situations, but they are real now, instead of being as before, "A Dream," thus enhancing the effect to a wonderful degree. Instead of eight there are ten characters and a new comedy creation which is exceedingly clever. The favorite Country Boy now goes through the play instead of disapear lngin second act and a touching incident of New England life is well introduced. Justine, the Farmer's Daughter, is now more prominent and closer connected with Lizzie Stark, muoh to the delight of those who closely follow the fortunes of those they love in stage life. The. company is all that can be desired and you are all aware that no other play of anoient or moderan times has ever held its position for fifteen successive years. RAILROAD TIME TABLES.
