A. of Butler an nounced that under its auspices, with the indorsement of the Ministerial As sociation, a Missionary Institute would be held it was quite hard to convince the people of Butier that this institute was to be a thing of much importance.

MAJESTIC I'HKATKE. Lafayette—January 20th. Among the many novel features that will be introduced by The Great Lafay ette, daring his engagement at the Ma jestic Theatre, Friday, January 20th, will be his latest conception ' 'The Peari of Bhutan" in which he introduces Grand Opera, Comic jOpera, Circus, Vaudeville, Burlesque, Pantomiue and Extravaganza, in which a large number of handsome young women are intro duced in songs and dances. The costum ing alone has cost many thousand dol lars. Under Southern Skies—January 21. One of the unusual features of Lottie Blair Parker's play of Southern life is that the women of the cast outnumber the men. As a rule the reverse is the cose in dramatic offerings. The presence of so many women upon the scene is one of the attractions of the play, especially as many of them are young and pretty. The birthday party of the youthful heroine, and the Hallowe'en festivities, which include the carrying out of some amusing Hallowe'en tricks and a Jack-o-lantern dance, give fine scope for showing the feminine mem bers of the company to advantage. Manager Burkhalter has secured this very successful play and it will be seen at Majestic, matinee and night, on Saturday, Jan. 21st. "The Mummy and the Hamming Bird," which will be presented here soon conveys no idea of its character by its title. It is an absorbingly human play with a high moral to it. The Oayety—Pittsburg.

The Franklin, Venango County, Pa., News, of January 9, inst., contains an article concerning the above gentleman that we take pleasure in noticing. Mr Bredin was born and raised in Butler and went to Franklin when a young man, about 40 years ago. His integrity and usefulness as a citizen were soon recognized there and he was elected to the Council of that town, and re elected and kept in the Council for abont 30 years. Duriog his services in that body he helped to drive out the boodler and to detect the unjust jobs in troduced by the speculators. From the account given of his services as a Councilman by the News, a paper pub lished there, he was the foe of all cor rnption and the supporter of "a square deal" to all, nothing more and nothing less. There are probably other towns not for distant that need just such Councilmen &.s Benjamin W. Bredin and we feel pride in learning of the suc cess of our former Butler boy.
