The scsurge on board the steamer
England proves to be Asiatic Cholera of
a bad tyne, This is the certificate of the
physicians. So the efforts that have been
stimulated by the first reports should not
be relaxed. In the principal cities and
towns iu the country the public authori
ties and citizens are moving vigorously
and Systematically. Athorough cleaning
up and digging out is going on in alleys,
byways, back yards and unfrequented
places. We wish we could say thst in
Pittsburgh there was enough beiiIg done.
1t has been suggested that in the absence
of comprehensive measures by the au-
thorities, the. citizens take steps, so that
owners of property may be induced, each
for himself, to clean his premises. The
Board of Health is doing something, and
perhaps, if co-operated with, it can be
made to do more. At any rate, let every
one who knows Of a pest place give the
Board notice.
Will the citizens of Butler Borough
take some steps in the proper direction,
to have our srtccts, alleys, by-ways, and
cellars cleaned and cleanscd !? We will

Gen. Meade to Explode the Bubbl

SOA' @hSe'sO w .10 PiOUS WIZ oucbhSs
New York, April 20.-The 7riJune'S
Eastport special says There is no bor-
der war, and has been none, No fight
occurred at Calais, nor did the Fcnians
capture any English flag, There is no
excitement on this sido of the boundary.
The presence of few Fenians, organiz-
ing circles, coupled with the provincial
confederation schemes, is the foundation
for the sensation, and the special dis
patches sent to New York papers have
been villainously false, and they have
drawn hither many strangers who came
to join in the strife Gen. Meade, who
arrived this forenoon will officially explode
the bubble.
TORONTO, G. W, April 20:-The Fen
ian prisoners at Connova have been re-
moved till "Wednesday next, awaiting i'm
portant evidence. A most complete de-
tective system is in operation and further
arrests will be made unless the suspected
parties succeed in escaping. A special
dispatch to the Globe from Eastport, Me-,
says that General Meade expresses de
termination to line the coast with $4,000
men if necessary to prevent Fenian mis-.
chief. The meeting of Parliament is
postponed until June.

Unsuccessful Attempts Of the
English 10 Launch the Iron
CiNN N0rfliIlEnberIand

The Britishers have built an immense
iron war vessel, weighing as it now stands
5000 tons. 1t is the largest vessel of
the description ever launched, or rather
attempted Nto be launched, for, by all ac-
counts, it has a great repugnance for the
water, so much SO that all the machinery
aud skill that can be brought to bear upon
it cannot make it take to the clement
The London Times, referring to the last
attempt to launch the vessel on the I'D
instant, says:
Every Kind of power known to science
was brought into play-stcam power, wa
ter power, horse power, mechanical pow
er. Hydraulic rams were constructed on
each side of the vessel, teams of horses
were harnessed to chains and pulleys,
while at the bows two great engines bor-
rowed from ancient fashions were pressed
into service. immense battering rams,
exactly like those rsed by Titus at the
siege of Jerusalem, were swung by the
force of hundred men against the ship
for the chance of loosening her by the
jar, so that, with floating, and lifting, and
dragging, and driving, it was hoped that
the mass must at length be moved. But
our ship, like Robinson Crusoe's, was too
heavy to De moved by any power what
ever. When the bugle sounded, the
horses tugged, and the presses worked,
and the sailors at the cnpstans cheered,
and the huge rams thundered against the
vaeeape stan hut all tn M nurnosp III
you pull hard enough, as the proverb
says, something must give way, but it is
not always the thing you want. Some
thing did give way on Monday, but it was
not the Northumberland. The cables
snapped under the strain of the lighters
the chains broke under the strain of the
horses, and the huge timber beams were
crushed to powder under the strain of the
presses, but the great ship never budged
an inch Where she stuck on the l7th
nf March, there she sticks still.

CONTRIBUTIONS.
Fr the CirizES
Legislation of last Session.

EDITOR CITIZEN AS | have been
enquired of frequently in regard to the
legislation of last Winter, in which our
people are interested, I would state that
the following general and local acts were
passed, in all of which some of the citi-
zens of our county are interested
In regard to pensions and gratuties to
old soldiers of tho War of 1912, or their
widows, the number Of applications to
the Legislature was SO great that gep-
eral law was framed and passed, requiring
hereafter, all such applications to be made
to the 4aditor General of the State, in
stead of the Legislature. Blank forms
have been prepared by that officer, in
pursuance of the new law, copies of which
l brought home with me and which can
be seen by calling upon me. No pensions
we're granted last session, and all appli-
cations must be made over again, 60 as
to conform with the new law.
A general law was passed, requiring
any county, township or borough in the
State, which had received the credit of a
rc-enlistcd Veteran, during the recent re-
bellion, and had not paid, or was failing
to pay him local bounty therefor, to
pay him bounty of $500. This act
applies to the case of some Veterans of
Oakland, and other townships of Butler
county.
A general law was passed exempting
all soldiers from taxation for any bounty
purposes hereafter, including in the ex-
emption the per capita tax.
A supplement to the local bounty laws
ofthis County was passed, declaring that
the provisions of the Fourth Section of
the act of Esd March, 1865, shall be
deemed snd taken to apply to the prop
erty of persons only whose son, or sons
,cere minors, or aeere renderiny support TO
their parent or pepents at tie time of
their enlistment, and ,eere credited to a
district Of he county. Also requiring
the School Directors, and Township or
Borough Auditors, TO settle up all un-
settled bounty fund accounts, and, if the
said Auditors fail, or refuse to do so, in
their respective districts, they shall be
liable to indictment and punishment for
misdemeanor.
Some further legislation was had, as
petitioned for in the townships of Mer-
Ger, Marion, Franklin, Forward, Gran
berry, Clinton, Connoquenessing, Adams
and Brady, relative to the collection of
back bounty taxes. Nothing was enac-
ted relative to equalizing. over the eoun-
ty, the bounties paid under the last call
for men.

The Provost Marshal General has
made careful complication from the
muster rolls Of all the deaths in battle
in wounds and from disease in every
reglment and company Of every loyal
State, irom the beginning to the close of
the war. From it, it appears that $780,
l37 officers and men have lost their lives
in the service. OF this number 5,221
commissioned officers, and 90,SSG enlist
ed men have boon killed in action or died
of wounds, while 1921 commissioned
officers and lS2, ,329 enlisted men have
died of disease, or in few cases from
