B. DOUTHSTT, Assembly J AMM U. MOOEK. Jury Commissioner —Hinr W. NICHO LAS. The Senatorial Gambler*. A dispatch from Washington to the Pittsburg Dispatch, printed last Sunday, gays the explanation yesterday of Senator Vest of the manner in which the sugar schedule was constructed, the admission of Senator Quay that he had speculated in sugar and had only closed out his last deal the day when the Senate was to vote upon the schedule, he not expecting the rote to be had so soon, and the denial of other Senators who are known to have speculated that they have had even a sin gle dollar invested in Sugar Trust stocks have led to an immense amount of gossip in political and speculative circles. Senator Quay is generally commended for his frankness and would be as gener ally exonerated from blame, as most peo ple nowadays have come to accept stock gambling as inseparable from modern civ ilization, had not the Senator held his stock up to the day when the fate of the sugar schedule waa finally decided, and worse than that, had he not been the one Republican to support the trust's schedule. These actions appear to be marked up against the Senator a* weak spots in his armor, aside from the question of propriety involved in speculating at all, which is held by many to be a question for the Sen ator's own oonscience and not for the Sen ate. The denials of some of the other Sena tors excite much more gossip than the confession of Quay, and some held the opinion that those denials will not be the end of the investigation so far a* they are concerned. An impression permeates the atmosphere of the whole capital that cer tain Senator* hare been guilty of gross equivocation before the committee in re gard to their speculations. There are persons resident in Washing ton who declare they heard one Senator give orders to his broker for deals in sugar stocks. When asked why they do not go before the committee and testifv to that effect, they say it would simply be a ques tion of veracity and the committee would accept the statement cf a Senator under oath rather than an opposing statement of one not a Senator under oath. When it is suggested to them that they could have the oroker* called who made the deals, they reply that the brokers would all refuse to answer, a* did Mr. Chapman, of Moore Schley, and there the matter would end, and the perjured Senator would be secure from attack. The Sugar Trust has seenred the opin ions of the best lawyers available, and the opinion of judges of high rank, as well, who say that a Senate committee has less power than a Justice of the Peace to com pel a witness to answer questions when he does not wish to do so. Senators there fore stand before the committee and stretch their elastic consciences to the utmost limit, nnder a solemn oath that they will tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, knowing that the only persons who are aware of the worthies* character of tkeir sworn evidence will refuse to expose them. This is the humilating and repul sive complexion of the conduct of some of the members of the Senate, if certain per sons in this city can believe the evidence of their own ears. Even theie whispered stories of Sena torial perjury excite lees comment, per haps, than the frank statement of Senator Vest in regard to scenes attending the con struction of the sugar schedule. A PASSinoiK boat returning to Westport Quay, Ireland, from Auhil island with 80 harvester] on board went down and 50 were lost. Political Notes. At the Democratic primaries in Clarion Co. last Saturday, Kribba was defeated for renomination for Congress, by Fox. W. 0. Smith of the Panxsatawney Spirit was renominated for Assembly, by the Republicans of Jefferson Co. last Satur day. It is suggested by a contemporary that the ominous "W" on the wings of the seventeenth year locusts in this Democratic misfit era means Wallop. From the way the elections have been going this year, since Pennsylvania start ed them in February with 188,000 majority for Grow, and concluding with the over whelming defeat of Democrats and Popu lists in Oregon last week, and the com plete reversal in Illinois, this seems at feast probable. The Coxeyitea. A dozen tramp patriots, or Coiey ites, or Populists, or Commonwealers, whatever you may choose to call them—arrived in Bntler by the use of their legs and the ties of the P. it W. R. B. last Thursday, and on Friday another squad arrived in same manner and by same route. They rented Gus Fallers barn Lin the south side and made it their home and headquarters, and on Friday evening marched up to the Court House, where a crowd gathered around them. Simeon Nixon mounted a box and oall ed for order, and introduced J. C. McClel land of Renfrew, who made an address ad vocated the enacting of a law by which a county could execute non-interest bearing bonds to the value of half its real estate and then send these bonds to 'Washington and receive in return ior them printed paper purporting to be dollars or money. He advocated doing away with the use of gold and silver as money. His speech was followed by a song "On to Washington" and then one of the "Army" spoke, advo cating the issuing by the national govern ment of five-hundred million dollars for the improvement of the public roads, and a great many other things. Mr. McClelland did not say how his money (f) was to be circulated, or what the unit of value was to be after gold and silver were discarded, and that is the link left out of the chain of the argument of all the Populists and many of the silver cranks. They cannot tee or will not see that money is not money unless it is of intrin sic value, or something representing in trinsic value, and to recognized the world over. All the civilized and semi-civilized nations of the earth have for ages used the metals, gold and silver, for money, these metals being of intrinsic value by reason of their beauty, rarity, usefulness and im perishableness. The civilized nations including our own, take so many grains of gold as a standard, and make their silver and paper money come up to that standard. The semi civil ized, like China, take so many grains ot silver as a standard and do the same with the mixed metal money, and paper money if they have any. The banks of this country are at preaant full of good money awaiting investment— awaiting a return of butineaa confidence and what good wooM it do to ieeue a large bulk of paper wttoefof doubtful or fluctuat ing value. Ton cotrld not take a shipload of it to Brazil and exchange it for a ship load of coffee, because they don 't want our real ertate down there; they hare enough of their own; they want money; and on the other hand they could not come up here with a ship load of their paper rep resenting their real estate alone, and ex change it lor manufactured goods, as we dont want their real estate, wt have enough of our own, but we do want what passes for money the world over— gold and •liver. Washington Note*. Every effort tu made in the Senate by the Republicans, Friday, to take wool loff the "Free Li«t." and the Populists nap ported a proposition for a doty of half what it is now, but the Democrats stood firm for free wool. This Democratic refusal to grant any concession on wool seemed to anger the Populists, and Senator Peffer, of Kansas, at one offered an amendment placing all woolen manufactures on the free list. No rote was had on this, bmt of coarse it will be defeated. The Democrats, although they they have kept wool on the free list, have no end of trouble among themselves on the woolen manufactures schedule. The manufacturers were promised by the Democratic Senators that the schedule shall be amended by making 60 cents per pound the dividing line between the high est and lowest duties on dress goods, etc., but they have opposition in their own ranks. Senators Gray, of Delaware, and Vilas, ot Wisconsin,are up in arms against any further concessions, and Friday s re fusal to put a duty on wool strengthens their position. To keep wool free, and in crease the duties on the manufactured product, is to be not even consistent from a Democratic tariff standpoint, and that standpoint has certainly been vague enough this session. The Democratic leaders made another attempt Friday to get the Republicans to agree to a time for taking a vote upon the woolen schedules; but Senator Quay ob jected, and brought out several sections of his unfinished speech and prepared for business. As he had material on hand for 30 days of steady reading, his action was very significant, and the Democrats gave np in disgust. There was a great deal of uncertainty as to when the vote will be taken, oi when a final vote on the bill will be reached. It is hardly probable, how ever, that the bill will pass the Senate be fore July 1. The Senatorial Sugar Trust investiga , tion Friday commenced the examination of the individual members of the Senate, in alphabetical order, as to their knowl edge or connection with dealings im sugar stock or the sugar legislation of the tarifl bill. The examination of Senators from A to H, inclusive, with very few exceptions was completed. The examination of Senator Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio, was the most im portant. He said: "I have never been concerned in any speculations or investments or interested in them, the result of which depended or legislation in Congress or elsewhere All the Senators examined testified tc having no relations directly or indirectly with the Sugar Trust. The sensation of Friday was Senator Quay's evidence before the investigating committee. The first question plumped at him was:— "Have you sold directly or indirectly since the beginning of this session of Con gress so called sugar stock t" The answer was "1 have; have bought and sold,not continuously,but incidentally with other stocks, stock of the American Sugar Refining company, during2o montha past. The last transaction was on the day that the vote was taken on the sugai schedule. I had been away for a week and did not know that a vote had been agreed upon. I closed out that day at some loss to enable me to vote without having any interestin the question. Ido not feel that there is anything in my con nection with the Senate to prevent my buying and selling stocks, and I propose to do so." On Monday the wood pulp schedule was disposed of in the Senate, and then the ooal schedule was taken up. The house bill placed coal on the list. The finance committee amendment placed a duty of4o cents per ton on bituminous coal and shale, 15 cents on slack and clum and 15 per cent ad valorem on coke. As soon as the clerk had read this paragraph Mr. Hill and Mr. Peffer jumped to their feet. The New York Senator was recog nixed and he sent to the clerk's desk an amendment to relegate bituminous coal and shale to the free list. Senator Hill to-day said he reserved the right to Tote for or against the tariff bill when "I Me what it is as a finality," pas sionately exclaiming: "God know* what the bill will be like when it passes this Senate and comes out of conference. God knows how many more extortions and concessions will be wrung from the un willing hands of the committee." He supported his amendment with a speech. It was useless for him to enter into a lengthy argument. He simply wanted to call the attention of his Democratic col leagues to the fact that the country ex pected a Democratic congress in aay tariff reform measure to place coal on the free list. It had been demanded by the Demo cratic platform and by every Democratic Senator who had spoken during the cam paign of 1892. If there was anything to which the party was pledged it was free raw materials and il there was any raw material it was coal. Peffer supported Hill, and V«st and others opposed him, and his amendment was lost by a vote of 51 to 7. Senator Gorman, author of the Senate tariff bill, has marked Lis return to bis seat by aggressive activity, and is cleaning the decks for action. The sugar investi gation is to be closed at once, and the tar iff bill is to be rushed to a vote by the abandonment of the 49 pages known as the administration features. Gorman wants to fight and iB for the bill in its features as a revenue bill. The duty was restored on a number of articles on Tuesday in the Senate bill, the Populists voting generally for the duties. The tariff was disposed of in the Senate Wednesday and preparations made for tak ing up the income tax. Senator Hill open ed the ball Thursdar morning in a speech opposing it. It ii thought that amend ments will be madeexepmting many organ izations, etc. which will sugar coat the bill and make it acceptable to many now op posed to it. TBI Republican League' has secured re duced rates of transportation to the Na tional Convention of Republican Clubs, which meets at Denver, Col, on June 26th. The rate from Pittaburg for round trip is $26.75 and stop over facilities may be ob tained. Hippua--Rieger. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Rieger, near Carbon Centre, on the even ing of June 14th was the scene of a wed ding which will long be remembered by all present as one of the most exquisite social events of their life. The occasion which the guests met to celebrate was the marriage of their beautiful daughter, Louisa, to John G. Bippus, Jr., of Butler There were present about thirty; all of whom were intimate friends ot the fam ilies. Promptly at 8 o'clock the wedding march was played by the bride's sister,and announced the approach of the attendants, followed by the bride and groom, who took their places, when Rev. Cronenwett began the ceremony which bound them together for life. After congratulations a repast was served which woura have sat isfied the crowned heads of the Orient. The array of presents was profuse and beautiful, a few of which we will name, together with their donors: Dr. C. C. Bippus, of Allegheny City, check for fifty dollars; bed room suite by Capt. Bippus; suite upholstery by the bride's mother; cushioned rocking chair by Dr. Samuel Bippns; marble clock by Mrs. Sutton, bride's sister; dining room set by Matthew Bippus; hall rack by Miss Lulu and parlor lamp by Miss Emma Bippus; crayon por trait by Miss Laara. Riagar. There were many more of leaa value, bat eqaaUf use ful, all of which were highly appreciated, and were the outpourings of love and es teem. The evening was profitably spent in so cial intercourse and music till about 11 o'clock when friends began to bid adieu and take their departure for their homes. The happy couple left for their beautiful home in Butler, which the groom had in readiness for their reception and which is to be their future home. The groom is the oldest son of Capt. Bippus, is a contractor by profession and is held in the highest esteem by all who krew bim as a man of houor and integrity. May ;htii pathway through life be radient with the sunbeams of peace and joy is the wish of their many friends. M. The Strikes. "Seventy-nine cent* or bast," was the ultimatum pronounced by over2ooo miners of the Panhandle district at a mass meet ing at Carnegie on last Thursday. Amid furore and excitement the miner* repudi ated the agreement made for them by their national officers and requested them to re sign. Xear Massillion. Ohio, the same day the strikers burned two railroad bridges and set,fire to the station at Sherrodsville. Ten carloads of soldiers were at once sent to the scene. At Punxsutawney, Pa., the Berwind- White Co. were having no trouble in work ing their mine?. A delegate convention of coke workers held at Scottdale. passed a unanimous res olution to continue the strike. At Greensburg, Pa. a band of Slavs made prisoners of two Deputy Sheriffs tbey caught in bathing. On Saturday a large convention was held by the strikers at Pittsburg and rep resentatives of 20,000 men were present. The result of the meeting ends the strike as the men agreed to go back at the rate adopted at Columbus. It now rests with the operators whether the great strike is a thing of the past or not Pres. Cairns called the meeting to order at 10:30 a.m. in the City Hall, and 120 delegates were reported present. A mo tion was made that the Columbus compro mise scale be adopted and the men return to work on Monday. For over two hours there was an incessant wrangling. Finally by a vote of 80 to 31 the miners decided to return to work. At a late hour Saturday night the au thorities called out more troops in Illinois to proceed to Mt. Olive, where the strikers hart rescued some of their number from the deputies. At Punxsutawney, Monday morning, a repair train on the B, R -- perate from hunger and no longer coucesl ed the fact that nearly all were aruieii and ready lor any dt-i-perate encounter. Tbe> charged the representatives ot the operators with actiog in liad faith, and were general ly in an ugly mood. A riot occurred near Scottd*!*, Tuesday, in which several men were injured. The mob of Slavs were broken up by Sherifl McCann and the leaders arretted The miners ol Kentucky are going out on a strike in sympathy with theii brother strikers. Sheriff Gourley.of Punxutawney »v Wed nesday wired Gov I'attison lor troops, and li vas decided to call out a portion of the llilitia. but before any steps were takeu ibe Sheriff bad wired that be was able to eopa with the man in any emer gency. The situation is daily growing worse and trouble must follow. 2000 iron miners in Michigan have struck. At Scottdale the strike is completely broken and the men are rushing back to get places. A Celebration. The children and grand-children of Mrs. Jane E. Douthett, of Brownsdale. assem bled at her home on the 4th of June, for the purpose of celebrating her 69th birth day. By previous arrangement she was pursuaded to go to Butler for a few days, in order that the necessary arrangements could be made, without her having any knowledge of the event. According to arrangements the invited guests camo by 2 o'clock and everything was put in readiness for her arrival, which was to be about 6 o'clock. Wm. G. Douthett, ol Butler, arrived promptly at (i o'clock with mother; and to say she was surprised would be putting it very moderately indeed. She very soon took in the situation and everyone seemed hap py. At 6:15, p.m., supper w».s announoed by the ladies present and very soon all the guests were seated around a table laden with all the eatables that any one could imagine. Every luxury of the seasou was brought into play and all were fed abun dantly. Alter supper A. M. Douthett call ed the assembly to order and stated briefly the object of the meeting. Mr. John B Dodds, by unanimous choice, was oalled to the chair and presided his usual pleasantness and promptness. The chair man announced the 23d psalm and all voices joined in singing that good old psalm which mother loves so well. After the singing of this psalm, the chairman led in prayer which was very touching aud appropriate for such an ocoassion. The arranged program was then announced and B. W. Douthett was called forth to talk ou '•Family History." Ho spoke wiih force and earnestness and as he called lortb reminiscences of the past all hearts were touched and I believe everyone present fell like joining the poet in saying "Home, sweet, sweet, biime; there is no place like home." Mr. J. M. Douthett was called upon next and gave a very able and practical address on "The value of a Christian mother's training." All preseut would do well to remember the excellent advice given by the •peaker and especially the parents who were present. Mrs Jennie L. Patterson 1 followed this speaker with a very excel lent essay on the subject of ''What we owe Father and Mother," the duty of the child was very clearly and logically pre sented and all the children present should be benefitted by this paper. .Vaster Wil lie Dodds entertained the audieno« with a recitation whioh brought forth much ap. plauue that was well morited. He certain ly will make bis mark as a speaker some day. Wm. G. Douthett was next on the program and spoke on "Parent's Responsi bility." He very soon impressed those oresent with the fact that he was a clear, logical thinker, and good thoughts well expressed flowed thick and fust till the close of his speech. Miss Jennie B. Douthett followed with an essay on"W'hat we owe Urasdtpa." Io ber own plain, simple language, she told bow Grandma was always read} and willing to minister to the wants of all her grand-children and concluded by saying that it was tne duty of the grandchildren to do everything possible to make Graudma comfortable in ner old age. Nothing said or done touch ed Grandma more than Lbjn short essay from her little grand daughter. Letters were then read from Dr. D. K. Douthott, of lowa, and Mr?. J. F. Brittain of Tennessee. Those letters brought to mother the assurance that though they ware absent in person they were pre-wnt in spirit. They were an outpouring vf respect and love which every child should .ho« toward his mother. A. M. Douthett closed the program, •peaking on the subject of "Memories of I Home." I could o<>t close thin brief sketch or t'to exercise* of the evening without making mention of the fact that the program was interspersed with muNic, Miss Minnie Hamilton, one of the most estimable voting ladles of oar vicinity, presided at the organ in ft very pleading way as she is al way* able to do. The prenents that mother received on this ooaftKßion were handsome and appro priately selected. I know that this meeting did mother a wonderful amount of good, and I hope that all children and grand-children present were benefited by it and the outcome of it may be att the years roll 'round and moth er grow* older, love and attention for her may pon»t' tly incr««»p, so mnch that she may say tl.at her last days were her best day*, an' may all of her children be ro»dy to rise a and call ber blessed, and say as the p< ct has said we dwell apart, Tb; laving words are wjtJi ever more; Thy precious, loving words. Thy hand and heart. And earnest soul ot love, are here im pressed. For me. a dear memorial through all time. • Mother' I cannot recompense thy love, But thy reward is sure, for thou hast done Thy duty perfectly, and we rise no, And call thee blessed; ai.d the Lord shall give Thy pious cares and labors rich re ward." A. M. D. DETAILED reports from the recent floods in the west show the railroad losses to be something immense. On two railroads alone the loss is over two and a quarter millions and the Union Pacific, the report says,suffered more than any other railroad, its tracks from L"matilla to Portland still being under water, and its loss being con servatively placed at $1,500,000 to date. The Northern Pacific's loss will be about half that amount. A year will elapse be fore the damage can be repaired. Back to Harmony. In holiday regalia and accompanied by the cheering notes of their brass band, the handful! of Economites now left returned on Thursday to spend a day at their foun der's old home, Barmony. There were ten with President Duss, and only two had ever seen the beautiful and fertile valley in wbicb, over ninety years ago, Father Rapp settled with his band from Wurtem burg, Germany, and prepared to sow the seed of universal brotherhood, and com mon riches that he had so carefully ripen ed in his benevolent but visionary brain. Eight members remained at home, and these together constitute the mighty host who were to exemplify Rapps projects. The band and Economites rode to Bar mony, on Thursday, by the Perrysville plank road, a distance of 22 miles. The band rode in an old wagon built by Jonathan Lenti at New Barmony iu 1823. It was the most unique feature of the trip. It took it 7 hours to make the journey. President Dnss and the balance of the Economites rodo in carriages and canopied hacks. The women wore gowns of purple silk, black bonnets, black capes and white lace ruches. The town was prepared for their coming and was decorated with flags and bunting. The conveyances lelt Economy at 7 a. m. and drove to Barmony by tho Perrysville plank road, a distance of 22 miles. It was a slow, warm acd dusty drive. The band was overtaken early in the forenoon. At Zelionople the band played in the public square. Harmony was reached at 1 o'clock. The town was decorated with flags aud many farmers had come in with their fam ilies. Mr. Duss, who wore a gold-braidsd cap, formed his musicians in a circle in the square, and they played a lively tune Then everybody went after dinner. Mr. Duss and the band lodged at the Behm Bouse, while the other members of the party weut to the Ziegler Bouse, kept by a great grandson ol the man who bought Barmony 79 years ago. In the afternoon the members of the so ciety visited Father Rapp's seat, the old graveyard and ihe ancient church. These visits occupied two boors. Iu the evening a conc<-it was given by the baud in the public square before a great concourse of people Mr. Duss per formed a cornet solo aud George Fisher, of Pittsburg, a clarionet colo. Short speech es were made l>y 'Squire Niece, Rev. Mr. Barter aud Mr. Duss Although accompanied by an outward show of so much that was lively and in spiring. this pilgrimage was most pathetic and arouses memories of the failure of a groat undertaking. George Rapp's design aimed at all that WHS good for his people aud all people, aud fur a time the Barraou ites prospered, but the greed and avarice which Rapp fouud when he came in the world were there when be left, and bis gmnd design failed as all the other imita tions did, when the magnetic presence of the leader was gone Barmony is 33 miles northwest of Pitts burg, on the main line of the Pittsburg and Western Railroad. It is a borough of 900 people, situated iu a beautiful valley on the left bank of the picturesque Connoque nesr.ing To the north of the stream, which flows in a semi-circle around the town, are considerable hills,forest clad, whence there are splendid views of the beautiful farming lauds to the south. To this spot, then wilderness, went George Kapp, the founder of the society, in 1803. The beauty of the land, its rich meadows and great forests, its hillsides, fit for vineyards, and its lovely stream aboun ding in fish, persuaded him that h«re was the ideal home for his people. He bought, for a trifling sum, over 0,000 acres of land on both sides of the stream, returned to Wnrtemburg and two years later brought bis followers to Harmony. A town was laid out with two streets crossing at angles, having a public square at their intersection. Houses were built ol brick burned in the vicinity. A church and mills goon followed and the community flourished. They planted vine yards and made wine They grew barley and hops and brewed beer; they got large flocks ol sheep and made cloth in their woolen iniil Ten years, from 1805 to 1815, were spent at this place. It was not accessible to market. Teaming to Pittsburg was too slow and costly. Besides, the grape did not flourish there as the Uarmonites hoped. It was decided to move to the Westward, and a site was found on the Wabash river in Indiana. The property at Harmony was sold to Abraham Ziegler for SIOO,OOO, a large part of which was paid in #ool. The 900 members of the community went by river in flatboats to their Western home and established New Harmony. Ten years they lived there, but many died from mala ria, aud they returned to Pennsylvania, establishiug themselves at Economy in 1825. Many of ihe old houses still stand at Harmony and are yet used as dwellings. Their solidity of ooustruotion is remark able. They are plaiu brick houses with high yables. The door posts are of stone, and over the door there are rude carvings. Af.er some repairs tbe old cburoh is still fit lor worship. It was damaged by the great storm of 1850, whiob demolished many frail structures. The old brick woolen mill is a tenement. On a gentle slope southeast ol tbe town is the old burying ground. The German inscription on tbe aruh over the stone gate reads, "Here rest 100 members of tbe Har mony Society, died from 1805 to 1815." It is an inclose 100 to 200 feet, with its en trance to tbe rising sun. Around it is a wall of massive stone masonry, five feet high. The gite is unique. Underaheavy arch a gate made of one large stone swings on a pivot in its oenter. On tbe face of the arch is a white marble slab, bearing the above inscription and texts of Scrip ture in German. This wall and gate were built in 1870. When completed many of the members of the society visited the place, but none of those who made the trip were of that uumber. Inside of the wall the sward is level. There are neither grave mounds nor head stones. This is tbe rule of the society. Against the south wall lies one large slab which outside friends had carved lor John liapp, tbe son of the founder. The letters on it are becoming obliterated. It was with great difficulty that President Dnss decipered the rude German in scription, and gave the following transla tion: "Hore lien and renin the body of John Itapp, born December 19, 178*, died July 27, 18X2. Here lien some clay of the pot ter's wheel till dissolution liberates the precious tout, which theu shall rine into new light and gloiious lite." In the center of the plot stand:! a large pine tree. Along three wails are 12 other pines, symbolic of the apostles Two small cedar* are near the gate. a* ear tjja top of a rocky bluff a quarter of a mile away j$ •'Father Kapp's Seat." It in a lookout cut out of the face of the rock, nheliered by an overhanging »ue!t o( •jhalo, and is 100 feet above the surface of the flowing at the bane of the cliffT There aat Father Happ, on a bench of stone, and watched the workmen in the fields across the stream. He shouted his orders through a tin speaking trumpet still in the possession of Truotee Dunn. He ia aaid to have been a driving overseer, At one lime stone step*, 150 in number, as cended from the bauk of the stream to thi* lofty lookout. Now it can be reached only from above, by a dangerous path dawn the face of the steep hill. Many visitors have pafved their initials in the soft rock.

T. 17. of West Liberty, Tuesday evening, June 14, was a grand success. It was held in the Church grove, and everything was so tastefully arranged and the grove so well lighted, that it showed that the ladiex had taken great pains to make everything attraotlve; and it took only a glance to see that everyone was enjoying the supper— bnt while all nature isrejoioing why should not we rejoice with joy and hilarity. The boys seemed somewhat bashful at first, but when they saw the fine display of cake, strawberries, ice cream and lemon ade they could not resist the temptation to ask their lady friends to take supper with them, and the eatables disappeared very rapidly and when the supper was over the ladies realized that they had tak en in something over S2B. Tbis Union was organised less than a year ago and they seem to be earnest workers. They set a noble example which is worthy of imitation by anyone. The ladies are working for a good cause and they should be encouraged by the success they are having; but tbey need the the co operation of all who are working for the temperance cause, and all should in some way or other put their shoulder to the wheel and help carry on the good work; for all are require 1 to use their God given powers; and for what noblter cause can we put forth our efTorts than to wipe the rum curse from our country. We sincerely hope the ladies will ask God's blessing,aud continue to carry on tbo good work. By OUDKI OK COM MITTKK.

Be had returned the previous evening in his usual health, bnt daring the night had a slight hemorrhage of the lungs, which, it is thought made lim fear con sumption. Jonathan Watson, whose career in the oil region has been the most romantic of any man who took part in the production of oil, died at Clifton Spring. N. Y.. last Saturday. Be was 75 years of age and came to Pennsylvania about 1840. In company with Lben Brewer, he purchased large tracts of land near Titusville and built saw mills at various places. They did an immense business. In 1858 Colonel Drake, the discoyeror of petroleum leased a farm of Mr. Watson aud in 1859 the first oil well was drilled cn Mr. Watson's land. The tremendous excitement that followed the discovery of oil made Mr. Watson en ormously wealthy. Be sold his land to eastern oil companies at fabulous figures. A (arm known as Watson's flats.just below that city.bringing one million dollars alone. Be built a splendid residence there and for years TO almost the autocrat of the city. Bis first wife having died, he subsequently married a girl who had been educated at his expense and for a number ol years they lived hsppily togettier, but the clouds of financial adversity began to gather over his head and it is said that he drilled oil wells under spirit guidance. Dozens of dry boles failed to dampen his faith in the unseen influence which he claimed con trolled him. and his money melted away like water and the panic of 1573 still fur ther crippled his resources.
