—The berrits which poisoned the
three Sharpejyille bovs have been deter
mined by a Philadelphia botanist to be
tbe moon seed, a species of ivy. "The
plant is the moon sded appropriately
so-called from the form of the seed
within tbe pulp and botanically, men
ispermnm canadence. It is very closely
related to the well known poisonous
drusf, coccnlns indlent, of the pharma
cists. The action of the poison is said
to tie similar and almost the same as
strychnine, which accords with what
you report of the case. As yoo report,
the vire is of slender growth, reaching
ing the beigth of about ten feet in the
season. The leaves resemble somewhat
in form those of the English iyy, but
are much smaller. In tho fall and win
ter there is nothing to l>e seen but the
cluster of shining black berries, resern
bling the 'frost grape,'and children may
readily believe they are gathering and
eating grapes. Fortunately the plant is
not very common."
—"So they sent your poem back,'

The Sedgwick liuililiug.
The buildings on N. Main street now
being torn down by Charles Duffy were
built by Joshua Sedgwick in the Thir
ties. He built the brick in the early
part of the decade, and finding he had
not room euough for his saddler shop
built the frame a few years later. The
Walker building on the alley corner had
started a "booni" for that end of town,
and Ixjth sides of the street were built
up to North St. and past it.
Joshua Sedgwick came to Butler in
the early part of the century from Cum
berland county; he was postmaster in
the sixties, and the postoffice was locat
ed in the corner that has just l>een torn
down; he had a large sign up over the
shop which read, "J. J. Sedgwick, Sad
dler," and we remember hearing the
school boys, as they came down North
St. from the old school house, which
stood on the site of the M. E. chnrch,
yelling a transposition of the sign
Saddler, Sedgwick, J. J.
The Sedgwick family all died of con
sumption. and the property passed to
his grandchildren children of Rev.
Barnes, some of whom may be yet liv
ing. Mrs. Niblock sold her property on
McKean St. to Gebhart Wagner and
bought tbe part next to Dr. Neyman,
and she and her daughter lived therefor
some years, ami then the entire proper
ty was secured by Mr. Duffy, who is
now tearing part of it away'u order to
erect a modern building.

confirmed the granting of a retail liquor

bnt a few d*ys latter the c inrt granted
it npon reconsideration. A petition to
revoke the license was presented on be
half of tho Peoples National bank, which
adjoins the saloon property. I a his
opinion, Judge Stowe says: '"After the
application in this casa was heard we
gave it special and careful considera
tion, with some doubts as to the pro
priety of granting it because of its close
proximity to a National bank, bnt final
ly came to the roiiflusion that as the
law of this State make the sale of liquors
by retuil a perfectly legitimate business
and imposed stringent regulations in re
gard to the manner in which it should
be conducted, which if complied with,
would altogether prevent any unusual
annoyance or danger to other business
carried on upon adjoining properties,
we could not, as a matter of justice, r»
fus ; a license to an applicant who, in
onr opinion, was under the law, as we
understand it, entitled to have one,
simply because the place or business, ii:
illegally conducted, might possibly be
come objectionable or even,dangerous."
