Vernum U. P. church in Washington twp. A correspondent of the Pittburg Times gives a column and a half account of the matter beginning—"The people of Wash ington township, Butler County, are con siderably wrought over the resignation, April 19, of Rev. J. H. Breaden, pastor ol the Mt. Varnum United Presbyterian church, near North Washington, and the consequent withdrawal ol 35 ol the most promineut and wealthy members of the congregation. The pastor's resignation and the secession of the members are due to tne failure of one faction to remove the church from its present locetion, not a mile outside North Washington, into that village, and is the climax of a bitter dis pute wtroh has existed in the congregation for many years. The pastor and part of his Hook, wh< reside in North Washington, endeavored to remove the church for - some year*, claiming it was more convenient and would be for the financial, spiritual and numerical good of the congregation. Those »ho have long attended services at tho old meeting house, and whose ances tors sleep in the quaint old graveyard be j side the church, say too many precious memories oliug about the ground to per mit of removal, and they claim the present in more suitable than a village site. Both factions will be represented at the meet ing of the Butler presbytery in June, when the case will bo considered. At Conneaut Lake. Pennsylvania's most popular summer resort promises to add to its attractions by becoming one of the lea-ling education al centers iu the Union.

Thursday April 23 being the Ith anni versary of Ziegler i W_\vl'. the regular or zJ<\pt of business was j laid aside and a spec al program | prepared,aid idvitationsextended to Conno ' quenessing and other biother lodges to be pr T!.e hall was filltd to its full -eating capacity, although many extra chair.-' were provided for the occa.-ion. The special feature of the evening being an address by Rev. C. S. Tinker D. D. of Sharon, Pa..*ono of the bright lights of Odd Fellowship, and past Grand Chaplain of the State, who by his powerful gift of speech and eloquence held the audience, who could scarcely realize that half that time had elapsed, spellbound for an hour or more He spoke of of tbe symbolic and frater 3ai features of the organization as wtil as relating many incidents iu con nection with his own experience, and his speech wis of such a nature ne to inspire every trn« Old Fellow to a greater effort in the u ture toward the up butldioe of Odd Fe'luw ship and raising of the mora! standard by tb« realization of the obligations already taken and a desire to reach ou' for a great er kno* ledge of the principles of the order and that the influence of the fra'ernity should he of such ach iracter a-t ■ lift ap and assist the fallen to 'jec. m? better brothers, husbands and fathers. That further influence should not only be felt iu the home, bat in the community in rvhicf. they live and the society in which they move, being an Odd Fellow si nply by name and being one for the priuciplee which are set forth in the true sense ol the word arc no more to be compared than a stunted apple to the healthy eritt»'l fiuit Many secret orders are branded as no (food simply by tbe way the mi mbers conduct themselves, when the rules wbiih should govern them are without spot and founded on a rock that is as immovable as the leavens, may every Odd Fallow therefore who has taken the solemn obligation live such lives that they will at last receive the "well done" of Him whoso example w-j should follow. Keeping inviolate the obligation* means something more than simply withQold ihg lrom the outer world the secret pass word, grip, etc, bat to ever remember that the tye of Omnipotence) is ever upon us ana th»t oar daily walk should be as Odd Fellows indeed, separate from tho degrad ing elements ol the world, with an open hand ever ready to relieve those in distress »!.d to comfort tho heart-saddened by toe borevements perhap* of a fond father, mother, brother or child or thosb in the ad vt rsities of a cold unfriendly wcrld. Some torongh prejudice at:d many through igno rance reject the very author of truth itself yet stands like its author, unchanged. Although perhaps unknowu to tne outer world silently moving on, its mi>fhty in fluence has reached from ocean to ocean and even to the most remote corners of the earth, through discouraginents surmount iue difficulty after difficulty yet we staud on the very top of "Pica's mount" viewing with awe, in our mind's eye the few noble men in a secluded room with hearts pulsa ting for their leliowmen, making a beginn ing; we turn and view in our imagination t ie misty tuture and we wonder can it be, bonidles* as a mighty sea. chained togeth er b" friendship, love and truth. With one aim in view, marching on with a steady tread that shakes tho very earth this in numerable throng with heart in hand cast ing rays of sunshine into the saddened and bereaved homes of thousands as they pass along. Should we not bid God speed to such principles? Should prejudice blind our eyes or should we attempt to bljck the wheels of progress to the God given princi ples of man. Have you ever seen a sorrowing wife with her bosom companion snatched, as it were from her side, without one ray of hope lor the dark future before her with pernaps a scant storu of even the necessa ries of life, sho feels that all earthly friends have vanished. But. low, while she yet uiourns, she hears the tread of someone ap proaching, they enter, and with kind words to soothe the broken heart leave many t .kens ot friendship behind. Charity, tan this ever be erased? Does it not speik for itsell? No other order has a higher aim than this, and may such principles ever propel us and ever predominate in the lives of every Odd Fellow. At the close of Kev. Tinker's remarks, Brother P. D, Stratton of .-Sharon, was call ed upon and responded by giving a short but pointed talk, spiced with sevoral amus ing stories which wore heartily applauded. This WHS followed by a few remarks from a mimbri of the Brothers of Connoijuenes- Btry L" !g'i, who expressed themselves w ben g gre.tly heuofitt'-d by their visit to Zeigier L •<!*«', and ilso extended an mvi tatioti to all present to attend a meeting of similar character on Monday ev-tiiiig.

The meuagerie department of these com bined shows is Duyoud a doubt the greatest that the world has ever kno«a. Toe two menageries have beau blended into one and the combining ot these two reparate and distinct departments alone would mtko a display the equal of which has never been seen in tnis ccnntry. There are two distinct herds of elephants, camels and all sorts of lead stock, two sepcrate departments of lions, tigers, panthers, and the only pair of real black tigers that bai ever been seen in this country. The don of polar bears is a positive revelation to amusement seekers and the same thing was never seen in this country before with a traveling snow. A great mauy dens of rare wild beasts are displayed daily in the magnifioent street parade, which is free to ali and will take place daily at 10 a. m. And the very important fact must not be overlooked that the parade, like every other depart ment of these great shows is a double one, uulike any ever before seen. Many shows have and do at the pres«iit time advertise dishonestly that they have two shows in one but there has never been a combining ot two really great shows in this laud be fore and people who are in doubt as to the genuineness of tho putting together of the John Robinson and Franklin Bros.' Shown can readily set thei • minds at rest. Tnis monster amusement institution comes to Butler Tuesday. May 12 for one day and will give two complete performances. Attention.
