LOCAL AND GENERAL,
A little farm well tilled,
A little barn well filled.
A little wife, a boy, a girl
The happiest trio in the world,
We've plenty to eat and plenty to wear.
And a little money to go to the fair.
We have no mortgage we have no debt
Over which to wriggle, foam and sweat.
We have a plenty and some to spare.
We give to the needy whoever they are,
I am contented, l iu nobody's slave,
For more than this I do not crave;
lam contented—a boon to save,
Fvc all there ia- this side the grave.

Success of the Home Studj Circle
The Pittsburg- Dispatch.
The summer term of the Home Study
Circle conducted by the Pittsburg Dis
patch will oj>en Wednesday June 1.
This feature of the Dispatch has already
scored a marked success, adding to the
popularity of the greatest newpaper be
tween New York and Chicago. The
course will lie entirely new one compris
ing architecture for general readers pop:
ular astronomy, biography studies of the
worlds scientists, health and hygiene,
with an intenesly interesting course in
literature. Examinations will be con
ducted as a basisof granting certificates.
Tbe expense of the Houie Study f'ircle,
conducted as it is. by the leading edu
cators of the country, is very heavy, but
it is all borne by the"Dispatch. All that
students need to follow the course is a
copy of the paper each and every day.

Samantha at Saratoga, in a New
Dress.
One of tbe funniest of all the funny
books is certainly "Samantha at Sara
toga." Will C'arleton pronounces it
' delicious humor" and Bishop Newman
says it is "bitterest satire, coated with
the sweetest of cxhilirating fun." For
merly published by subscription at the
price of #2..T0, and sold, it is said, by
the hundred thousand, it has recently
been issued in an exquisite little cloth
binad volume in the "Cambridge
Classics" series by the celebrated cheap
book publishers, flarst & Co., of New
York, as a means of widely advertising
that series, and is sold at tb fabulously
low price of 23 cents. It would seem
strange if they should not sell a million
of them. They are sold by booksellers,
or the publisher direct.

To tlic Patriotic Citizens of tint -
ler and V icinlty.
An organization of the citizens of our
town and vicinity has been effected un
der the name of the "Patriotic League
of Butler. Pa,' having for its object
♦he relief of our soldier boys in camp or I
hospital, and the earing and providing
for the families and dependents of those
who Lave responded to their country's
call. A finance committee has been
appointed by the League, who will call
upon our citizens for their contribu
tions: in view of which at a meeting of
the League held in Y. M. C. A. Hall 011
Tuesday evening. May 31, the officers of
the League were instructed to issue an
address to the public through the
county papers explaining the objects of
the League and the work contemplated.
The League in both its membership
and its work is strictly non-sectarian
and non partisan, and all contributors
to the fund are members of the League.
We need the aid and de-ire the assist
ance and membership of every patriotic
man and woman of tnc town and vieiu
ity, and especially desire the coopera
tion of the ladies.
While al! contributors, cither of mon
ey, provisions or clothing, will be ac
ceptable, yet in order that the work of
the League may be carried on practi
call}- aud systematically the finance
committee desire so far as possible to
secure a list of subscribers who will
agree to pay some certain sum or
amount monthly during the continu
ance of the war.
The work of the Leagne while in a
sense charitable, yet is no charity. We
do not ask your assistance and your
gifts »h charity, but as a patriotic, lov
ing duty to yonr country, and the cause
of liberty and humanity. The imme
diate necessities of the League consists
in raising one hundred and fifty dol
lars or upwards to defray expenses in
curred in furnishing necessary equip
ments and supplies to the members of
Co., E 15th Reg't. when they departed
to enter the service of their country,
and also to care and provide in greater
or less degree for the families and de
pendents of some seven or eight soldiers
who have already enlisted. In addition
to this, any considerable prolongation of
the war and future enlistments of our
citizens to fill additional calls for troops
will no doubt furnish many other
worthy and deserving cases where aid
and assistance should and must be pro
vided. Nor does even this measure the
scope of the duty and responsibility of
the Leagne. If the war continues, tbe
inevitable fact that our sick and wound
ed soldiers in hospital and on tented
Held will require and should receive the
very best of the aid and assistance of
every patriotic, country-loving Ameri
can citizen, confronts us.
An adjourned meeting of the League
will be held in Y. M. C. A. Hall on
Tuesday evening next, June 7, at 7 ;:{< >.
Every citizen of the town is invited to
attend this meeting. The League re
spectfully requests the several minis
ters of the town to announce this meet
ing from their several pulpits on the
coming Sunday, and to urge upon their
congregations to attend this meeting
and to lend their aid and encourage
ment to the good cause.

Judge .Tames A. Beaver of Pennsyl
vania fainted last Thursday afternoon
during the delivery of his address on
The Presbyterian Church and the Peo
ple.'' at the Westminster celebration in
the Auditorium at Winona Lake, lud.
it was noticed that the general was lab
oring hard from the start. He had al
most reached the conclusion of his ad
dress when his yoice faltered ahd he
showed signs of collapse. Stated Clerk
Rev. Dr. W. H. Roberts sprang to his
side and supported him With wonderful
pluck the speaker finished the sentence
on his lips, aud then fell to the floor.
The audience was almost stampeded,
bnt the choir leader stcuck up Ameri
ca'' and the majority resumed their
seats. Physicians who were present
took charge of Gen. Beaver, but not
until he had recovered sufficiently to be
removed from the hall could the excite
ment be allayed. Some were present
who had witnessed the death of Judge
Breckenbridge on the platform of the
assembly at Delroit in 1892, and natur
ally visions of that scene came to their
minds. The general was resting com
fortably that night and no serious re
sults were apprehended.
Nearlv 5,000 persons were on the
grounds" that day, attracted by the cele
bration. and Winona wore a picnic air.
The auditorium was packed at ever}'
session, and the heavy artillery of the
Presbyterian church thundered all day.
Such an event happens only once in two
and a half centuries. The opening was
ii.tpressive. At the first call the moder
ator's new historical gavel, flew into
fragments, one of the largest of which
decended on the head of a Philadelphia
newspaperman It is alleged he was to
slow tn remove his head from its path.
After this incident everything worked
smoothly under an ordiuary everyday
gavel.

Mountliig ti»p Guns.
The mounting of the cannon attract
ed a large crowd to the Diamond last
Saturday aril great interest was taken
in the work. The stone foundations for
the earriges had lteen completed, and
the earriges put in place the day before
and Saturday morning a derrick con
sisting of three stout timbers was erect
ed over one of the carriages, to which
was attached a large iron block, from
Sherman & Johnston's machine shop.
The chain was attached to the gun, the
carriage protected by timbers, and the
gut: drained and lifted into position.
A great shont went up when the trun
nions of the first gun. settled into their
places. The Rnns weigh about
each; the earriges about 1400 lbs. each.
The carriages were cast by W.
Emery it Son of Franklin from some
old moulds in their posession, with tha
lettering changed.
The mounted guns make quite an ad
dition to the attractions of the Diamond:
and to Col. R. P. Scott, who secured the
guns and carriages, and arranged for
their mounting, the credit is due.
