• barrel.
—Campbell <fc Templeton's mew delivery
wagon ia immense.

Hambletonian gtallion Crawford Prinoe,
at the Fair Ground.

—To the bicyclist, making his way to

move the Marks Bros store from its present

—The recent hard winter will bo found
to have injured all seed corn tbat waa not
thoroughly dry and kept in a dry place.
Test the teed corn by planting some of
the grains in a box of earth and note the
percentage of grains which fail to germi
nate. Take no risk on corn. A few
weeks lost time by the seed not germin
ating means quite a large loss in the
erop.
—Mothers are cautioned by a physician,
not to permit their children, who carry a
load of school books back and forth from
home and school each day, to carry the
load in the same hand or over the same
shoulder, as many instances have been
known where the habit lengthened the arm
or enlarged the hand disproportionately
or caused the child to carry one should 9 r
higher than the oiber.
The fact that Satnrn with its rings hove
into sight among its sister planets night
before la*t, reminds us that there isn't a
■lngle telescope ia Butler Here we are.
ten thousand of us, and whenever we boar
of a oomet flirting with the moon some
where off in space, or that the astronomers
have found out that the Martians are try
ing to signal us with flash-lights, we have
to take it on faith. When the sun gets
•olipsed, though we look through smoked
glass with the rest of the world we don't
see very much.
Odd Fellowship was 86 years old last
Friday. Like wine it improves with age
and now musters nearly 1,000,000 follow
ars All over the country the anni ver
aary waa observed by the lodges. Seventy
aix years ago Thomas Wildey, an English*
man who had located in Baltimore and
was lonely because Englishmen were not
popular then on account of the recent war,
proposed to John Weloh, John Duncan,
John Cheatham and Kicbard Kushworth
that they relieve monotony of life by organ
ising an Odd Fellows' lodge resembling
the one he had belonged to in England.
April 26th, 1819, these five men met at
the Seven Stars tavern and instituted the
first lodge, which they called the Wash
ington Lodge, No. 1. The five men were
■ot well edao4ted or particularly refined,
and thev bad little influence in Baltimore,
but Wildey was a born leader of men, and
before he died, in 1861, the order he had
founded bad a membership of 200,000.
—Last week wa> a great oats scoring
week.
—Dogs are getting into their spring coats
and pants.
—Mr. Graham, the storekeeper of Moni
teau, has sold ont to Wick <t Robinson.
—A number of handsome new bicycles
are being ridden in town.
-Now is the time to rake the back yard
and burn up the rubbish.
—Many a young fellow buys |a bicycle
built lor two on an income built lor one.
—The State Supreme Court has decided
that bikes mast pay toll.
—Yeliow ochre and Venetian red, with
a few feathers and a skin suit, make a fine
looking Indian out of Paris Green.
—Superintendant McCollough notes his
annual examinations for May and June in
another place.
—About fifteeen citizens of Butler, Evans
City, and other parts of Butler county,
joined Mrs. Core's excursion, yesterday.
—Seanor «fc Co. have new rigs and new
horses. If you want a stylish turn-out try
one of theirs.
—Nearly all the country schools closed
last wees. The poor town children have
to endure another month of it.
—lt is just as well lor boys to re mem
ber that there is a penalty of ten dollars
for destroying the nests ol wild birds.
—There is a fortune for the milliner wh)
shall devise a bonnet that can be worn in
any part of a church and always present
the trimmed side to the congregation.
—Spring is here and the country is ful i
of fellows who are making their living by
their wits. We have heard of no new
swindling schemes, but the old ones are
being worked with vigor.
—The pneumatic principle has been ap
plied to boots. The air tubes lie botweon
the upper and lower soles, and give a
springy movement to the foot calculated
to reduce friction with the ground and to
alleviate fatigue.
—Think over your list of acquaintances
and see if there isn't some absent friend
or relation who would be pleased to re
ceive the local news from Butler every
week. To such a one the Citizejj would
be an acceptable present.
—The recent sharp advance in wheat
has led to an advance of 45 to 60 cents
per barrel by wholesale dealers in flour,
and this advance will take effect in the re
tail trade as soon as present stocks are
disposed of.
—An exchange tells how to make money
in an easy way. Take a new dollar bill,
fold it over and double it; fold it several
times each way and double it out again and
you will find it in creases. Take a silver
dollar, strike it on the coufiter and it will
ring, give the ring to your best girl, and
you will have the half dollar left."
—There has been placed upon the mar
ket latelv a'-self-opening umbrella,"
which promises to effect quite a revolution
in this useful appliance. The umbrella
that has so long been in use has always re
quired the use of two hands to open it.
Henceforth the umbrella is to be opened
with one hand only: Press a spring close
to the handle and the umbrella opens it
self. A spring has been released which
quickly aud firmly opens it. and keeps it
open; at the same time adding to its
strength; The addition is eminently
simple, and the extra cost over that of the
ordinary umbrella is only trifling.
—The tree pruner, who does not really
know what pruning moans nor what a tree
requires and needs for healthful and
beantifull growth, is now abroad on his
annual tour of mutilation and ruin. Mag
nificent stretches of shade and leafy splon
dor are wrecked by a few hours' backing
and sawing, and the tree pruner looks with
delight on the unsightly branches and
limbs his industry has kindly permitted to
survive destruction. Trees should not be
spoiled of every twig and limb cut of even
with the trunk. Nature intends no such
process to follow the grandeur and glory
of years of growth and upbuilding. Bat
the pruner knows nothiDg of nature's inten
tions nor of the beauty and protection the
tree and affords, aud because he does not
he Bhould be taught and cut just as short
from his work as ho has been cutting the
limbs and branches. — Ex.
Accidents.
Miss Emma Anderson, daughter of J. D.
Anderson, Esq., of Penn township, was so
badly burned last Friday morning that she
died next eveniae. She was kindling a fire
in the yard, at the time of the accident, her
apron took firo, and sha ran to the house
and ran up stairs, before she found some
body to throw a blanket around her and
extinguish the flames. She did not inhale
the flames and her death was caused by
external injuries.

Plants by the Thousand
The grandest lay out of Tomato plants
in Butler at present is undoubtedly that
of Jesse Heydrick in his garden on North
Bluff St., near West Pearl.
He has several hot-beds lull of fine,
large, vigorous looking plants, »oine of
which are ready to blossom; and they are
all of the Improved Ponderosa a variety
the finest, largest and best tomato in ex
istence. The tomato was originated by
that celebrated seedsman Peter Henderson
of New York, and he paid SUSO, for an
appropriate name for it. It is a large,
solid, and finely flavored tomato. One
pecularity about Mr. lleydrick's plants
is that tbey are grown from seeds from the
two-year-old plant exhibited at the Pair
last Pall.
People who intend raising tomatoes this
Summer, will find Mr. lleydrick's plants
the best in the market.

Did it ever occur to you that there are
drugs cr.* drugs—that drugs are like every
thing else—there are good, bad and indif
ferent. There is nu»H"* else which is
positively bad if it is'nt j~«t •! ,Vl «» best.
Our policy has always been to have noth

When you want drugs come to us and be
assured of fresh pure goods, and always
what you ask for or your prescription calls
for. It may not always be drugs yon want
either. We always have on hand a full
