Dear Sir; "Three ouarter paint" in a good phrase for the best outside of De von. Devoe in the standard; mark it I'M) The next-best—there are several not far apart—are three-quarter paints; you may mark them 75 to Devoe's 100. The bnlk of the pain to in market are 40 or BO or 60; a few are better than 90; a few are worse than 40. How do they act? They cover from one to three-quarters as much an Devoe; and they last from one to three-quarters as long as Devoe. What are they worth? The same rule dont hold; it coeta more to put-on me paints than they are worth; they are not worth anything; the "put on" cost* two or three times as much as the paint. Yours truly 24 F W Devoe & Co P. S. Patterson Bros sell our paint. Five First Premiums, W. S.

A Terrible Nuisance. The constable of Butler twp has re turned a man named Byers for having eighty live pius and three dead ones in a pen. up Sullivan (or the old distillery) run. northwest of town; and the Graud Jury will probably return a true bill. For some days past the people of the western part of the town have been an noyed by a terrible stench, the cause of which they could not account for, but this return probably solves the mystery. Another way of polluting the air is by throwing fruit parings into ontside closets. That is done by some people every year, and they should know bet ter, and should be prosecuted The sooner people learn that pofsoned air is just as dangerous as poisoned water the better for all School Notes. The public schools opened with about 2.300 scholars enrolled, Monday. At the meeting of the Butler School Board, lart Friday evening, a Vas«ar girl from Pittsburg, was elected to take the place of Miss Williams, who resigned from a position in the High School; and Mrs. Jean, a daughter of the late Rev. McKee, was elected ausist ant teacher in the Grammar School. Alleged llol<l-up.

Dekee went with the stranger to the overhead bridge where hi- was held up. shot in the hand, and robbed of his watch and $l9O. That is his story, but it looks fishy. BLTEEtt MARKETS.
