rel of water, mixed with 25 gallons or
1 barrel of strong lime water. To dis
solve the sulphate in water, you must
put it in a thin bag and suspend it in the

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.

—Butler was the centre of electrical
storms, last Thursday evening and
night, during which enough of the
fluid was shot into the earth to kill all
the animal life on it. 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.
