we would have had an abundance of them.
—ln Pittsbarg, Satuarday, the Delaney
brothers, wDu were connected with the

Who would have thought, last week

IreezsT

—Twenty-five young ladies of Youngs
town, Ohio, organized themselves into a
club to wear bloomers and du other things
in the way of promoting ideas of dress
reform.
—The hotels of Butler are doing an
extraordinary buisne.-s, 10very room in
every hotel in this town was occupied las#
week, and besides this several of our hotej
keepers provided cuts in parlors and halls,
and secured rooms for patrons in neigh
boriug houses.
—The Ink Fiend saya that the best
advertisement in the world, one that will
do the advertiser the most good, is a plain
space advertisement, the general outline of
which changes as little as possible through
the year, because the eye gets accustomed
to the iorm.
—The Confederate silver half dollar is
reckoned as one of the rarest of American
coins. Only four sacL were struck. It
has tne Goddess of Liberty on one side,and
• sulk of cane, one of cotton and the stars
and bars of tne Confederacy in a coat of
arms on the other side.
—A lew days ago ax Mrs. Hamilton was
getting dinner at her home near Ralston,
Pa., she accidentia broke the dish contain
ing potatoes. Not minting any of the
broken pieces had remained in the potatoes,
the vegetables were eaten by the family.
Daring the meal Mrs. Hamilton was
•uddenly choked to death upon a small
piece of the broken dish.
—A new schedule went into effect on the
P. it W. Sunday, by whioh the 8:15 train
now runs through from Butler to Allegheny

The project was somewhat discussed, and
Alt' Wick, George Knittle, L. C. Wick and
W. T. Mechling were added to the Com
mittee to solicit subscriptions.
—So-ne years ago we heard of a man up
in Vena ngo county, who lived in a frosty
section, and who kept the ordinary tin
lamps or torches hanging to the limbs of
his fruit trees, one to each tree. When
frost threatened he lit the torches, and he
had fruit, when his neighbors had none.
It is said that the beat from one lamp,
percolating through the branches of a tree
on a still night will stve the fruit.
—Speaking of the disc lately cast at the
Plate Glass Works here the Greenville
rgus says:—Dr. Peate needless to say,
is much pleased over the result. He has
made thirteen telescope glasses and in
nearly every instance, the glass was cast
at the St Gohain works, Paris, farnoas
the world over, and the Butler glass is the
•qual, in every rospect, of the Paris pru
daut. Many people always seem ready to
decry their own country as ii some foreign
nation bad a patent on brains of any par
ticular sort. Because America bad never
Oast a telescope glass of this «ort it was no
(ign that it was an impossibility. All
honor to Butler.
—"I really beg your pardon for referring
to it, being a total stranger, bnt I hope the
•tory your wife i« -vriting will be accepted
Allow me to suggest also that you quit

—These Foreign, Blind-Pool, Building
and Loan Associations are busting up, one
after the other; and when they do bust the
monay and officers, and everybody and
everything connected with them seem to
disappear from the.face.of tho oarth. But
ler has good banks and good Building and
Loan Associations, and how people with
monev to invest can bo caught by outside
•harks is almost heyond comprehension.

—The loss by the frost in the Chautauqua
grape beit is put at $2,000,000. The Chau
tauqua grape belt extends through Erie
Cnunty, westward to Erie. It occupies a
strip from, live to eight miles in width
aloryi the southern shores of Lake Erie.
At Dunkirk the thermometer fell 25 de
crees. Every vine is destroyed. Silver
Creeku last year shipped 2,300 cars.
At Forestville every farmer
has planted every available acre to
grapes, and the frost ruined every vine.
One ot oar attorneys, who has an
office in the Armory building, sent to a
livery stable for a rig, a few days ago.
By and by when he was ready to start, he
looked out of his window, saw a horse and
buggy standing in front of the building
took it for granted that it was his rig, went
down and jumped in and started off But
he had not gone far till someone asked him
what he was doing with another man's
rig. and he soon found out that he
came near driving away with a rig left
standing there by the wife of one of our
business men.
Fire at Centerville
At 5 olock of last Monday morning the
Boys Dormitory of the Slipperyroek Nor
mal was discovered to be on fire; the
flames spread so rapidly, and in a short
rime the entire building was destroyed.
The building was heated by the Smeadwell
ystem, and the lire originated in the annex
In which were located the furniceJ. It is
suposed to have been caused dy an over
pressure of gas. From two to three hun
dred students were in the building when
the alarm was first given but they all es
caped safely, and all or nearly all secured
their effects of value. Pro). Hamm and
bis wife lived iu the building, and he lost
[goods valued at SIOOO, and on which he
had SSOO, insurence. Prof. Rickets and
family lived iu the building and lost goods
worth two to three hundred, and Prof
Ruber lost some of his effects. Prof. Hamm
had his mustache and eyebrows scinched,
and his wife burned her hands sliding down
a fire escape wrcpe. The Dormitory was
bnilt in 1889; the annex about two years
ago; the insurance aggregates $12,000,
which will probably cover the actual loss.
The trustees will rebuild immeapiatly, and
in the meantime the students are being
accommodation by the people of the town
and vicinity.

Did 1! "ver occur to you mat there are
drugs and uiugs—that drugs are like every
thing else—there good, bad and indif
ferent. There is nothing .!-<> which is
positively bad if it is'nt just ot u»o best.
Our policy has always been to have noth
ing but the best.
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 vou want
either. We always have on hand a full
line of sick room requisites.
