To dis solve the sulphate in water, you must put it in a thin bag and suspend it in the water: and it takes at least 4 pounds of unslarked lime to make a strong lime water. The mixture is a bluish water, which is poisonous, and which must be sprinkled or sprayed on the plantx as soon as the blight appears. —During the storm of last Thursday evening the finial of the Court, House was again struck by lightning, and the balance of the cross came tumbling down to the street.

The cause of the accumulation of so much electricity in the clouds is a mystery to the human race and the poet's lines. "Lo, the poor Indian whose untutored mind, sees (rod in every clond and hears him in the wind, is true of all men. Quite a number of Butler people go up to Cambridge Springs for a few days each summer, and find themselves greatly benefited by the iron water so abundant there. There are several good hotels in the town, and for people who wish a quiet but elegant place to board, we can highly recommend the Hotel Kelly, which is located about half a mile out of town, with a good. iron-Yyiter spring, nearby. The hotel 'bus will be found at the station. The New Route to the Falls. Through the courtesy of Edward C. Lapey, General Passenger Agent of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg R. R. the mechanical force of the Butler CITIZEN enjoyed a trip over the new road, last week, making stops at Punx sutawney, Dußois and Buffalo. This is the best and finest equipped passenger road leaving Butler and a ride over it is "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." The day train is equipped with clean, handsome parlor cars, with high-back reclining chairs, cafe cars, etc. and has all the conveniences of a first class ho tel: the night train has, in addition to the regular coaches, fine cars, and a per son leaving Butler at 11:28 p.m. arrives in Buffalo. N. Y. at 7:10 next morning, in good shape for breakfast and a (lay's sight seeing in one of America's finest pleasure resorts. From Buffalo we proceeded by street car to Niagara Falls (fare 50 cents for the rofnd trip), which needs no description, and from there to Toronto, Canada, by steamer (fare £2 for the round trip), making a very nice trip at a moderate cost. Dußois and Punxsutawney—liotli cities of the forest—being in the timber tracts of Western Pennsylvania are sur rounded by streams filled with the wiley little speckled trout, the sweetest bite man ever put in his, month, and we would suggest to any one debating where to spend his vacation to try this trip once. There is some grand scenery on this road and one should travel at loast one way in daytime. THE BOYS. Hospital Report for June.
