was eHectually cured Dy veterinary doctor
from Meadville. We publish the item to show
that Jersey bull calf of high price can have a
Latin disease as well as a man, but in the case
of five dollar b. C. the complaint would have
merely been mumps with uppuration.-Frdnk-

The Meadville papers announce that 1t Is
definitely settled that the Pennsylvania State
Militia, Third Brigade, will go into camp at
Conneaut Lake in August. The camp will
be Just back of Oakland Beach, where the
ground is well adapted to the purpose. There
will be over three thousand of the citizen sol
derry in the camp for ten days. Extensive pre-
parations are already under way to make the
occasion as pleasant as possible, both for war
riors and visitors.
DR. Won Myerhoff arrived in Butler on
last Tuesday afternoon. He dropped in to see
us and announced his intention of prosecuting
those parties who have lately been slandering
him. Next day the Doctor was met in the
street by Kennedy Marshall and Samuel Mar
shall. Samuel asked him into Forquers Office,
and there demanded the letters that he and
his niece had written him. Some conversation
followed between the two, when Kennedy came
IN and assaulted him. Forquer acted as peace
maker, and the Doctor and Samuel took the next
train for Millerstown, where the letters in
question changed hands.
AS rule farmers do not advertise what they
have to sell nearly as much as would be to their
advantage. If one has farm, a COW, a horse,
hogs, sheep, or any other property to sell, he
may perhaps inform his near neighbors of the
fact, and tell them, if they hear of any one
wanting whatever he has TO sell, to "send them
along" This may or may not secure them a
customer, while an advertisement in c news
paper at small cost, would inform thousands of
readers ofthe fact that they had something to
sell, many of whom are equally desirous Of
purchasing.

"A few weeks since, Bruce Smith and Will
Derickson, two young men of excellent fami-
lies in Meadville, were arrested on charge of
fraudulently using the U. S. Mails, the offence
Consisting of mailing carefully worded circulars
offering to sell counterfeit money. The cases
came up for trial at Pittsburgh last week, when
Smith pleaded mole contendre and Derickson
mot guilty." When the case proceeded to
trial Smith took the witness stand and gave
some damaging testimony against Derickson.
Upon cross-examination he stood upon his priv
ilege and declined to answer saying he might
criminate himself. Derickson was found
guilty, and fined $3.50 and costs, and Smith
was also fined $3.50.
1t generally takes two years of a "wilful
malicious, etc." desertion on the part of the
defendant in a divorce suit, and the compli-
ance of the plaintiff to certain forms of law be-
fore he or she can lawfully consider him or
herself free from the bonds of matrimony, but
a Mr.. Wieman, of Middle Lancaster, proposes
to do up the whole business in 80 days, as wit.
ness the following notice from Butler paper
of last week: "Whereas, my wife, Anna Mary
Wieman, on June IL, 1888, left my bed and
board, without just cause or provocation,
hereby give notice that / will not after this
date be responsible for any bills of her con-
tracing, and that if she does not return to my
home within 80 days from date, will consider
myself free from the bonds O matrimony.
Old Sol has evidently over-heatcd his
blood and broken suddenly with the hives
The rash made its appearance week or more
ago in the shape of huge group of spots
which haye approached close to the center OF
the suns disk, and they have exhibited indi'
cations of volcanic activity accompanied at
night by displays Of the aurora borealis. This
group, like most of the great sun-spots which
have been accompanied by auroras and mag
netic storms, is evidently subjected to cyclonic
action, the effect of which is perceived in the
changes of form it undergoes. 1t is fully as
large as the group of spots that broke out on
the sun at the time of the great magnetic
storm of April, 1882, and can be seen without
telescope more easily than the planet Venus
was during her transit in December last. The
theory is advanced by some that the storms
and floods which haye swept across the cont,
nent this season may be attr ibuted to these
sun-spots.
"A terrible double tragedy took place at
Erie on the Fourth. Albert Kuhn a promi-
nent young man of the city went on Fourth
of July spree the evening before and with the
boys kept it up all night and the next day.
About three o'clock he and his companions
got on street-car and soon took possession of
it, drawing pistols and firing regular fusilade
Kuhn firing recklessly into the street. The
ball from his pistol struck iss Mary Steiner,
highly esteemed young lady, and passed
through her heart. The utmost excitement
ensued and the drunken revelers came near
being mobbed. All were arrested and Kuhn
was committed on charge of murder. An
hour or two later it was found that Frank
Kuhn, a younger brother, had disappeared.
Search being instituted his body was found
hanging in the cellar, he evidently having
committed suicide as soon as he became con-
yinced his brother had killed Miss Steiner.
