The September Quarter Sessions met, Monday, and the first* case taken up was that of the Commonwealth versus I)r. La.sher of Saxon burg, who was charged with rape on oath of Mrs. Rosa A 1 wine. Mrs. Alwine's story was a simple one. She alleges that the doctor took advan tage of her weak condition and helpless l>ositioi: while making an examination at bis office, but she acknowledged that her physical condition occasionally caused her to have flighty spells, during which she did not know what happen ed. The doctor denied her story, and as his neighbors gaye him a good name, he was acquitted,and the county has a bill of costs to pa} - . No class of professional men have more opportunities for meanness than physicians, and on the other hand no class is more liable to blackmail. Doc tors who do not keep themselves above suspicion should l>e shunned as vipers, and severely punished if caught. This seems to have been a mistaken idea, caused by physical weakness, but the case should lie a warning to all phy sicians of their constant danger. There was but one amusing feature in the trial, and that was the attitude of mother Alwine. a heavy weight, who seemed inclined to si ■ down nponohe of the counsel for the defense.

The ladies of the Bntler Public Li brary Association held a meeting Sep tember 12. when a financial report of the institution was read and considered They found the running expenses of the library to be greater than the ladies can any longer assume without outside aid. and consulted upon means of in creasing the funds to the amount req uisite to mtet these expenses. The library was opened with the hope that the books would lte always free to the public, and they have been thus furnished for five years. But the asso ciation now find that they will have to charge a sum of 50 cents for each an nual card taken out on or after Octo ber 1, 18!) H. The public have very kindly and gen erously pat ionized the suppers and other entertainments given by the Li brary Association, and by this means the ladies have received a considerable amount of aid, as well as from the gen erous contributions of some of the gen tlemen. But as the expenses of the li brary, irrespective of the purchase of new books, repairs and catalogues, are large and continuous, embracing rent, light, heat, insurance and librarian's salary, aggregating #3O per month, it is found nrrr 1 -i-y *'> tnnlto itomo The Woman's Exchange was opened in the hope that it would contribute to wards library expenses, but it has not been a success in that way. So. much against their will, the ladies are obliged to resort to the small fee above named as a means of keeping the library open. But they feel that the reading public will be glad to assist them in the good work. The membership of the Library Asso ciation at present consists of 34 ladies. Each member pays annual dues of #3, and contributes a book once a year. Any lady interested in the library, who would like to become a member will be welcomed bv the association. To make the library in greater degree a credit to the town, and to increase its usefulness, contributions, large or small, handed in by any of our public spirited citizens, will l>e thankfully re ceived by the librarian any afternoon. All are invited to come to the library and look over the books; especially are editors, ministers, teaehers and mem bers of the school board invited to note the quality and character of the library. It will be found that, although numer ous works of fiction are taken out and read, the shelves contain also a large proportion of high-class books in the departments of history, poetry anil general literature. Our ruotto is, "The noblest motive is the public good.', accii>i:ntn. Last Sunday, while on the road to church, John Scott of Lancaster twp. was kicked in the face by a horse and dangerously hurt.
