Uncle Tom Mechling is probably the only man in Butler who shook hands with Lafayette when he passed through Butler in the summer of 1825. "Uncle'' Tom was a boy of nine years at that time, and his father kept the Mechling House on the Diamond, of which the CITIZEN - office was a part. Lafayette passed through Butler on his way irom Pittsburg to Erie, and took his dinner here. The town was decorated for the occasion,and three arches had been built—one opposite the old Brink er hotel, now Williard House: one on the Diamond and one opposite the old Beatty hotel, on the site of which the Trontman building now stands. Lafayette was traveling with a party, and quite a num ber of men and boys drove and walked out the old plank road to meet, and es cost them to town, and when they got back to Butler they formed in two lines and Lafayette walked between them and shook hands with overybody. He was a cripple from his wound at Brandywine, and walked slowly. Uncle Tom describes him as being at that time a stout, full facei', round-headed man, who wore a bine coat, white vest, an 4 buff nankeen pants. He and his party took dinner at tho Mech ling house, in the brick building now oc cupied by Col. Thompson. Among the dishes Mrs. Mechling had for dinner that day was boiled sauer-crnut, and of this La fayette partook very ireely. Then tho party went on north, stopping over night at the stone house or somewhe-i near there. Lafayette is buried in the Pere-la cbaise cemetery near Paris, there is an iron railing around his grave but no tombstone upon it, and every day in the year a fresh boquet provided by the American Society in Paris is placed upou the grave. —Try our new roller floor—latest improved machinery.

Then a terrifio explosion occurred. The men oh the e*is sou supposed to be DoDovon and Doyle, were literally blown to pieces and others were thrown many feet by the violence of the conclns.-ion Four of the horses draw ing the caisson fell in their tracks shot through and horribly mangled, while three others were blown fifty feet ahead against the trees on the boulevard, dving instant ly. The caisson was blown to atoms, not » piece of it large.' than a man's hand be ing found. The boulevard looked like a battlefield. There was a series of quick explosions after tho first report and shrapnel shot rained like hail among the trees on the boulevard and pierced the surrounding dwellings. The concussion broke every window in the houses for blocks away. The walls and roofs cf the dwellings show ed the terrific effect of the missiles. T n exploded shells of rear pait of the cais son lay strewn over the ground. With the explosion came great confusion of the troops and f>r a moment the men and of ficers seemed powerless to move. To this was added the fright of the occupants of the surrounding houeea, who ran scream ing from their dwellings ouly to be sicken ed by the sight in the street. A still alarm of lire had been turned in and with the fire department came the stock yards police patrol wagon. B. B.
