A remarkable incident is reported from I'enn twp. When Newton Ma harg went to bis pastnre field, Tuesday morning, he found two of his Jersey cows lying dead, three more were stag gering around and five more were bad ly swollen. A veterinarian was sent for and he first administered stimulants and afterwards salts. Crude oil was runuing from the nostrils of the dead cattle. The pipe line crowing the field had bnrsted during the night, the ruu had filled with oil and the cattle had gorged themselves with it. Vuite a number of people walked and drove down to the Lead Works, last Sunday, to see how the work was pro gressing. The outside, stone, founda tion walls of the corroding house were ationt completed. The building covers a large plot of ground, about 200 feet by 140, and the interior is divided by brick walls into forty rooms abont 20 feet square, with two large passage ways be tween them. The excavation for the factory, which will be abont 120 feet square, and four stories high, had been made; and great piles of stone, brick, sand, lime, cement and lumber were in evidence. A great deal of the material is coming in on the cars. The Lawrence county Teachers In stitute is in session, this week, in Sew Castle. President McKinley has selected. Thursday.

The well promises to be a paying one. —An odd tombstone can be seen in the Catholic part of the North cemetery. It looks like black glass on the polished side, and the letters are indented and gilded. It is pretty, and it is the work of Philip Tack. There are several places in Butler county where young doctors of fair ed ucation, good character, and stamina enough to work up a practice and stick to it.are needed. There is no physician in the string of villiages from Middle town to Bntler -viz. Trontman. Greece City and Boydstown. A good d-x-tor located at any one of them would find plenty to do, and a Mt. Chestnut citizen speaks of the need of a doctor there. A sick man at Ivy wood must send to Sax onburg or Glade Mills, each five miles away. At West Snnbury, Dr. Hocken berry, one of the best of men and phy sicians, is constantly overworked and. though he never said so to us. we would judge that he would welcome a young doctor into that town to help him out. Centennial. If any town or township has failed to receive bills for calling meetings to send delegates to the proposed County Con vention November 21, for fixing date of having the Centennial Celebration, they will please Fend word to the Chairman of the Central Committee. At the convention Nov. 21, the date for holding the celebration will be fixed and it is desirable that every town and township be t-epresented in it by its del egates. The date is one of innch inter ne to us all. Y. 41. C. A. Star Course. The canvas for the sale of season tick ets for the present star course has been nearly completed.

THE HUSTLER—OCT. 28TH. It is not likely that any other comic entertainment on the stage at the pres ent time brings forth quite as loud or as much laughter as is evoked by ' The Hustler." It is prominent among those attractions which seem never to grow tedious. The piece has held a yery im portant place among all big productions for several seasons, and this year is making a strong bid for the top seat. It has been refreshened, rejuvenated.and rendered up to date, and yet retains all the hilarity and highly meritorious fea tures wh ; .ch originally attracted theatre goers of all classes. For its new produc tion a notable company of eminent and versatile entertainers has been secured. In plot episodes and dialogue, "The Hustler" is a perfect specimen of that sort of entertainent which is made "for l laughing purposes only" It's special ties this season are new, and a glance at the list of the company promises that they are of the most diverting order. Grand Opera House Pittsburg Four eventful weeks are approaching at the Grand Opera House, Pittsburg. The first of these weeks will begin next Monday afternoon, October !iO, when the stock company will present for the first time in Pittsburg, E. H. Sothern's great success, "LordChumley."

The second of the four eventful weeks will mark the first production in Pitts burg of Carmen. Mr, J. C. Huffman's version will be used. The third week will see the revival of the stock com pany in "The Senator", last season's greatest success, and during the last of the four eventful weeks announced now, Ada Rehan's triumph, "The Last Word" will be produced.
