This being the case, it necessarily follows that the field for advertisers to especially cultivate at this time, with promise of quick and exoellent results, is the coutry people who read the country papers—the best and cheapest mediums of communication with their classes. —Ford & Divel have established a fish, oyster and poultry store on Jefferson St., one square west of Main.

The State Supreme Court, on Monday handed down the opinions in three Butler county cases as follows: Roth vs Marshall et al, affirmed. Wahl vs P. <t W. R. B. Co.. reveled. Linden St»«l Co. vs Rough Run Mfg. Co., affirmed. The Wahl vs the R. R. Co. case was the only reversal handed down. The decision of the Court below was in favor of Wahl, in an action in ejectment for a piece of property in Evans City. The Supreme Court reverses this decision and orders a new trial with instructions as to the ruling of the Court. In the cose of Dr. R. S. Sutton against B. W. Morgan, an action growing out of the purchase by Dr. Sutton of the Morgan farm in Bt-avercounty, the supreme court sets the sale aside anil directs that Capt. Morgan refunds the SIS,(KK) paid on the property. Dr. Sutton paid $15,000 for the land on the representation that railroad shops were to be removed to the vicinity and that there was an active demand for lots The supreme court says Morgan knew these rumors to be false. He made them to secure a purchaser and accom plished his purpose, but it is against equi ty that an advantage so obtained shall be enjoyed, and the person who huo been wronged left without a remedy. | In the United States Conrt Monday, Charles Tarr, 'alias Woods who pleaded guilty at the October term of court to im personating a united States officer, was sentenced by Judge Buffington to pay a tine of SSOO and three years to the peniten tiary.

The biggest theft since the Fair closed took place in the manufacturers' building. A fancy inlaid upright piano valued at $1,500, which bad been packed ready lor removal, was taken out of the exhibitors' pavilion under the noses of the guards by the thieves, who presented a forged permit to take it out.

Oil Notes. Petroleum has been discovered in Brook lyn Susquehanna county. Tne Standard Oil Company is leasing all the land possible and will proceed to put down wells at o_ce. It is claimed that French experts have discovered how to solidify petroleum. The substance , after undergoing the process, is in general appearance betweun beeswax and tallow. It in yellowish whitr; oderless and tasteless and barns like a candle. The expen.se of converting oil into a solia state is said to be very small. The discovery was made less than a month ago. and the secret of the proces is ■ lid to be on its way to this country and will be submitted to a New York oil company. Grandin A' Kelly are engaged upon an interesting experiment ia Forest county. The are drilling one of their old wells, on the Cook lands, along the Tionesta, in the Baltimore field, to depths unknown to the average oil operator. The well is now down 4000 feet. No sand of any kind has been encountered since a depth of 2,800 feet was reached when they went through the Genessee shale. They are now drilling in the Maceellu ■ shale and expect to find the corniferous limestone at 4,200 feet. If nothing is developed the well will be drill ed to a depth af 5,000 feet, before they Btop. At 3,700 feet down, the temperature of the bottom of the hole was 100 degrees F. The Culinary Art. Mrs. Emma P.

A free lectnro to which the citizens are invited will be given in the M. E. Church on the night before, Nov. 17. At this the male members of households are asked to he present as the subject intimately con cerns them and their comfort. There are in the United States about 9,000,000 kitchens through which the vast supplies of flour, meat, fish, poultry, fruit, vege tables and groceries pass daily, for better or worse—generally worse. Of the millions engaged in preparing lood for our 05,000,- 000 of people, how many are acquainted with tho best, most healthful aud most economical methods? "The question with hou-e keepers" Mrs. Ewing says, "is not how to live cheaply, but for how little a family can live on the fat of the laud. It is the waste in the kitchen that runs riot with store bills." Unscientific cooking means bad digestion, aid a deranged stomach impairs temper and leads to the use of stimulants. Sobriety, good temper and domestic peace call for scientific nour ishment for tho body. "Lucy/' said the young husband, ' I love you, but I can't eat your biscuits." How long will love last?

Some appreciation of the destitution pre vailing at Voungstowa may be gathered from the fact that 780 men applied for work on the streets. The Vindicator says that tbe applicants are given work in turn and according to the priority of their ap plication. It is the idea to give each man ten days work, and employing fifty men at a time. Before work can be given to the last applicants winter will b6 over.

When James Xewton Hill, of Tarentum, was found by the Hide of Mrs. Rosaßotzler ol Apollo, in a remote corner of the Alle gheny Ea>t Park on the night of the Bth of Murch last, most people, including the doc tors connected with the Allegheny General Hospital, thought he would not live until morning. The woman was dead and Hill's throat was cut from ear to car. His wind pipe was severed, and he was unable to pronounce a monosyllable. His term on this earth seemed surely ended. The po lice as well as everybody else, hardly thought the case worth considering in the face of existing circumstances. Hut James Newton Hill still lives, and one week from Monday next will be placed on trial for his life. He is to-day an occupant of a cell in the county jail, to all appearances as hale arul hearty as any ordinary robust indi vidual. Over G fcot tall ho takes his daily exercise wtth sturdy vim The incision in the throat, which doctors say will never heal, is still covered with o silver plating.

In the same room that his father com mitted suicide twenty eight years ago Henry J. Kundel of Allegheny Co. took bis life. The weapon ol the parent was a Colt's revolver, aud though it has lain for over a score of years unused, the son brought it into play when the second crime was committed. It was the original inten tion of Kunkel to kill his wife, but when her life was saved by a devoted son the father took his own in the presence of his children.

The port of Santander te Northern Spain was the scene of a remarkably fatnl ex | plosion last Friday afternoon. A steamer arriving there had c< neea'.ed in her cargo of j iron ore, oil in barrels, flour, etc. sotne 500 cases of dynamite. While dis charging'her cargo at the wharf, fire broke out in her coal bankers, and got beyond the control of the crew. The city fire de partment was called out, and people flock ed down to the wharf by the thousand to see the vessel burn. When the fire reached the dynamite there was an explosion that blew everybody on the vessel and many on the dock to atoms. The quay with its enormous crowd of spectators roso slowly in the air. Tbe people were s a'tered ia every direction into the sea. Fire brands fell in showers over ser and land for a radius of a mile and a half. The anchor was hurled 800 yards away and fell on the balcony of a house which it completely wrecked. It then sank deep in the pavement below. The shock was felt in every part of the city. Houses rocked on their Inundations and more than 100 were set on lire by falling spark?. The d •- r : in tbe hsrbor «as equally ap palling. The launch of the steamer Alfon so XII., which was lying alongside and containing all the crew not aboard the Machicaco, vanished with the others. Tbe survivors fled ashore shrieking, leav ing the promenade adjoining tbe quay strewn with dead, dying and mangled remnants of human bodies. Whereyer the terrified fugitives turned they met only frightful destruction. Horror was added to horror in the wrecked and burning build ings from which came piteous cries for help. Many of the fugitives were thrown down and trampled npon. Numbers are said to have lost their reason The people were too panic-stricken to think of any thing but saving their own or their relatives lives, and ignored their burning property. When at last a few persons with some presence of mind collected, it uns at once resolved to telegraph an appeal for help to the Government and to tbe municipal authorities of other cities. Every available wagon was summonr 1 t:> the rtene, and such supplies as medicine, stimulants, bandages, etc., as could be collected were distributed where they could do the most good. ' When night fell tne sky luridly reflected the fires burning fiercely in various parts of the city. Mendez Nunez street, rnnniug parallel with the quay, wa3 ablaze from end to end. In Ihe blinding light and heat the bands of resellers worked to extricate the dead and wounded. On every side were scenes of indescribable confusion and overwhelming grief. The fire went on un checked through the night. Judge Agncw's Historical Sketch.

Midnight fires are becoming fashionable ! in Bntler, and the last one was the bnraing of the Thompson House near the P. 4 W. depot Sunday night. Tae fire originated in the kitchen proba : bly from an overheated stove, tbe gas har ! ing been left burning: and had not Mr. ' Thompson's two daughters Laura and Mollie. who were the only persons in the house at the time, (the rest of the family being away on a visit; been awakened by the barking of the family dog, they would have perished m the flames. As it was they barely escaped with their lives; and the honse and all the f&rniture was de stroyed. The house was insured for SI,OOO, and the furniture for sooo. This is tho second time this house, or rather the hoase on that lot, has been burned. The Springdale Hose Company had water on tbe fire ten minutes after the alarm was given: and they saved the Birch property from total destruction. The residence of Mrs. Aggie R. Nelson of Centerville was slightly damaged by fire last Thursday. THE COLUMBIAN ALBUM. Magnificent Souvenir of the World's Fair Placed Within the Reach of All.

THE CiRBATBST OF ALL TUB MAGAZINES. 2000 Pages of the Best Litera ture. 1000 Illustrations by the Great est Artists in the World. TIIE program of the new volume of TITR CENTURY MAGAZINE, beginning with th« November number, is one of rare interest to every reader of literature.

Like sever al of Mark Twain's stories, it has for its scene a steamboat town on the Mississippi River forty years ago. "Pudd'nhead Wil son," a hard-headed country lawyer, the hero of the story, furnishes much of the fun that one naturally expects to find in a work by the author of "The Innocents abroad," but he appears in quite another light in the murder trial which forms the thrilling climax of the story. The plot introduces a novel and in jrenious employ ment of science in the detection of crime, and the characters are well drawn and their every action is interesting. THE CENTURY will contain. A Series of Supberb Engravings of the Old Dutch Masters; Articles on Hunting of Fierce Game; Articles describing Artists' Adventurs, by leading American ar>ists with their own illustrations; A rticles descriptive of Important Expeditions. in all the great continents, including the adventures of two young Auiercans who traversed Asia on bicycles; A novel senes on Tramping with Tramps: How a young man, disguised as a tramp; traveled over America and learned all the secrets of the "profession."

Y RUPTURE Cannot always be cured, but a properly fitting Truss will do more toward curing you than any thing else. A small rupture is more dangerous than a large one ! but is more readily held in place, i Quite a number of persons who j have been fitted by us have been i entirely cured, but this is not al j ways the case. The sooner we j have them visit us after finding they are ruptured the more hope of a complete cure. We make a specialty of Trussts for both ladies and gentlemen, and give di rections for private measurement for the former. Al! cases consid ered strictly private. Buying Trusses by mail from some person who says he can cure you is on a paralell with the number of cures there are for consumption. If you have had trouble in being fitted elesewhere let us try what we can do for you. G. W, BOYD, Pharmacist, Diamond Block, - Butler, Pa. rpHE BUTLKR COUNTY NATIONAL BANK, BUTLKK..PA.
