An Act.

For the benefit of persons who OBJ
ject to having tteir premises defaced
we publish law passed by the Legis-
lature in 1881 by which it will be
seen there is sufficient punishment for
people who have no regard for the
property rights of their neighbors:
"Be it enacted &C., That if any per-
son or persons shall, without the con-
sent of the owner or owners thereof,
wilfully daub, paint advertisements
or post placards upon, or otherwise de-
face the walls of any building or
buildings, house or houses, or the
fences around the yard or yards con-
nected herewith, or any fences sur
rounding or enclosing any vacant lot
or lots, farm or farms, or shall cause
the same to be done by others, or if
any person or persons shall, without
the consent of the owner or owners
thereof daub, paint advertisements or
post placards upon, or otherwise de-
face any tree or trees. or shall cause
the same to be done by others, such Of
fender or offenders shall be guilty of
misdemeanor, and upon conviction to be
sentenced to pay fine not exceeding
twenty-five dollars, and undergo an
Imprisonment not exceeding thirty
days, or both, or either, at the discre-
tion Of the court.

jefferson Township Items.

On Thursday last as Mr.. VIM. r..
HARRISON, of Jefferson township, was
going to Reiber's mill his team took
fright and started to run at furious
rate. Mr.. HARRISON succeeded in ex-
Treating himself from the wagon, At
the same time the cars were coming in
the direction of Butler, which were
stopped by the engineer. The horses
kept on their furious speed until they
ran the tongue of the wagon against
or between the cars, considerably
smashing the wagon and harness
We are happy to state that Mr.. Har-
bison escaped uninjured. Mr.. Harbi-
son thanks the railroad officials for
stopping the cars at the time.
One day last week while Mr.. Loyal
Welsh, of Jefferson Centre, Jefferson
township, was engaged in hauling corn
on o sled his horses espied swine in
the distance, which they magnified
into something frightful, suddenly
they jumped aside and at one bound
cleared four-railed fence. Mr.. Welsh
still cingipg to them in endeavoring
to hold them, pulled the wrong line,
which caused the horses to turn, upset
his sled, scatter the corn and escape
from justice. They were ultimately cap
tured near jefferson Centre.

Handsome Tribute.

The Hon. James B. Neale, present
Judge of the Courts Of Armstrong coun-
ty, has paid handsome tribute to the
memory of his predecessor, the late
Hon. Joseph Burlington. He presented
on the 5th inst, to the county of Arm
strong, through her County Commis-
sioners, fine oil painting likeness OF
the late Judge Burlington, which will
hereafter grace the walls of the Court
room of that county. No more fitting
thing could have been done. The act
was a noble one, and while it reflects
credit upon Judge Neale, it affords
great pleasure to all who knew the
worth Of Judge Burlington. Many o.
the older citizens of Butler and of this
county remember Joseph Burlington as
an able lawyer and an upright man
He studied law in this place, was mar
ried here, and removed to Armstrong
county, over the Courts of which he
presided for, we believe, near fifteen
years. Many in this county will be
pleased to learn of this tribute to his
memory.

Acquittal of Dukes.

A jury of Fayette county has aequit-
ted Dukes who shot Capt. Mutt, at
Uniontown, that county, last De-
cember. As both parties were public
officers this case acquired great promi-
nence. Dukes was Democratic mem
Der elect to the Legislature, and Mutt
was the Republican cashier of the State
Treasury. Nothing of a political ma.
ture, however, was in the trouble be-
tween them at the time of the killing.
1t was of a quite different character,
that need not be stated. They had
met according to arrangement at the
room of Dukes to see if they could set
tie their difficulty. Both appear to have
been armed, although Dukes had writ
ten Mutt that he would be unarmed
No sooner were they together than a
personal conflict took place. Who was
the aggressor just then will probably
never be known, as they were alone
But other parties Immediately entered
their room and separated them. Up to
this time no shooting had taken place
After being separated, and when ap
parently in no danger from Mutt, Dukes
deliberately drew his pistol, fred and
killed Mutt. This was the evidence o1
the two men who separated them
How then Dukes has been cleared on
the plea of self defence is what the out
side world cannot understand. The
weight of evidence proved him guilty
of at least manslaughter. But that
political prejudice and feeling had much
to do with the verdict seems quite evil
dent. The whole jury were the politl
cal friends of Dukes. From the mo-
ment this fact was known his friends
foretold an acquittal. Happening in
this day and generation, and in the
State of Pennsylvania, it is no wonder
this verdict has called forth genera
denunciation. And if there is any
lesson to be learned from this verdict,
it is the danger of politics in the jury
box. Another matter it is true warns
all, and that is the practice OF carrying
concealed weapons. When the law is
enforced against this cowardly and
evil practice there will be less loss OF
life. The letters of Dukes to Mutt show
him to be heartless william. But
Mutt in reply foolishly threatens to be
his own ayenger, and hence both arm
themselves. Had the law been ap-
pealed to by Capt. Mutt his life would
have been spared and the honor and
peace of his family be in better con.
dition than now, while at the same
time public opinion would have driven
Dukes into disgrace and exile. The
law is wide enough and sufficient for
all offences and cases. This case again
points out the great duty of adhering
to it under all circumstances. And
this is perhaps the greatest lesson to
be derived from this sad case.

Mr.. Conrad Snyder, son Of Mr.. John
Snyder. ST., of Brady township, this
county, went to Iowa, near thirty
years ago, and never visited his old
home until last week. He had out
grown the recollection of some of his
fathers family. He went to Iowa
poor but is now the owner of large
and valuable farm, over which railroads
pass and on which fourishing town
is located.
Mr.. James Milford, who went from
Clay township, this county, to Iowa
some few years ago, writes that ne has

head of hogs-my land is worth $12,-

Mr.. D. went to Kansas twelve years

Correction.

We are informed that the statement
in the Pittsburgh Dispatch, of last
Wednesday, does injustice to Charles
A. Sullivan, Esq, Of this place. While
petition, such as spoken of, was pre-
sented to the Court, yet it is said that
the petitioner, Isaac Burr, had no judg-
ment against Mr.. Sullivan, and that
there is really no record of his claim
appearing among the records of our
Court. 1t is claimed, therefore, that it
is a private transaction between the
parties, there being no ground upon
which to found the rule asked for by
Mr.. Burr. The account given by the
Dispatch is supposed to have been con-
founded 9th another case (McQuistion
case) which Mr. Sdl.iyan has paid of
in full, as we are informed. We make
this correction in order that no injustice
should bc done in the premises.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to stifen and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Pdtent Gold Watch Cdses this
WASTE Is saved, and soIID1rY and
STRENGTH increased by simple process,
at one-haf the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldere,l on each side of plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, ETC., are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This Is
the only case made under tsis procsss. Each
case is accompanied scitk a ualid guarantee
signed by the manufacturers ,carrantiag Il to
rear 20 years. 10000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and

bers of the House who voted against
that bill had but ever seen an ox-eyed
daisy, or had any knowledge OF Its
baneful nature and desolating habits,
they certainly would have voted differ

q just revenge, it would be nothing
more than right for the friends OF the
bill to take steps towards giving them

some seeds of it taken to and scattered

constituents would then soon cry aloud
for the law to prevent its spread.
