Legislative.

A bill fixing the term of members of
council of boroughs at three years, and
empowering councils to fill vacancies,
was passed finally in the Senate last
Friday.
A petition was presented from Perry
county for the establishment OF the
whipping post in Pennsylvania, for
certain convicted criminals, instead OF
Imprisonment.
In the House bill has been report
ed requiring the registration Of dentists
in the State. Also one for the election
of Justices of the Peace by wards in
boroughs
The bill'to suppress the growth o.
the weed known as ox-eye daisy came
up, was debated and passed to second
reading.
The bill for the protection Of farmers
F, and owners of cattle, etc, along the
line of railroads, requiring the railroads
to fence their tracks, when it came W
was amended so as to limit the fencing
to crossings. Mr.. Ziegler, one of the
members for this county, voted fol
this amendment, which renders the bill
almost useless in this county. Mr.
Donly voted against the said amend

Post Mistress Matter.

EDITORS CITIZEN The communica-
tion in your paper last week was time
ly and very good in all respects. The
remarks of the writer as to the age OF
the present post mistress and the man.
ner Of her appointment were true. But
be might have gone a step farther and
called to mind the fact that she was
actually a minor at the time when
first appointed. When the writer said
that there were probably a hundred
girls in Butler ofequal merit with Miss
Robinson wheD she was commission
ed, be told but simple Truth, but he
could have said that many of them
have and had far greater qualifications
and that their fathers and families are
far more deserving as Republicans.
This could all have been added and
been truthful. A good correction of
the matter will be the appointment of
Mrs. George Black.
AN OLD REPUBLICAN.

A CARD.
A Donation Visit.


The twenty seventh day Of January
was most happy and joyous day ut
the Henshew parsonage, both To the
pastor and family. and to be members
and friends of the St. Johns congrega-
ton, who assembled ut the parsonage
on that day The pastor left home
early on the morning of the twenty
seventh to attend the funeral of Mrs.
Samuel Sarver, little dreaming that
the members and friends had taken it
into their heads and hearts to make
their pastor and his family donation
visit.
But On returning to the church with
the funeral procession the pastor was
very much surprised to see so many
! of the members and friends in aud
arouni the parsonage building know
ing that there was fire in tho church.
after the corpse was laid peacefully
to rest in the grave in returning to the
church in company with Rev. Young,
OF the L. P. church, who was present,
the pastor was let into the secret.
The services ended at the church.
We stepped into the parsonage where,
| in few moments, we were invited 10
the table where we partOok Of very
sumptuous and enjoyable dinner. After
all had well eaten, some forty in num-
Der, all were inyited into the parlor,
when deacon Mr. NJ Dufford, in a
very neat little speech on behalf of the
nembers and friends, presented the
pastor with a purse of Sl52 25 and the
pastors wife with a purse of Sl0.50.
when Miss Dora Dietrich stepped for
ward and banded over the money; she
having collected it from the members
and friends of the congregation. At
the came time MIR. Nj. Dulford present
ed other things, such as flour, corn,
meat. vegetables, canned fruit, coffee,
sugar, lard, potatoes, amounting in all
to sixty-fiye dollars and eighty-four
| cents
The pastor returned most hearty
| thanks in behalf of himself and family
to the kind donors After which all
were led in earnest prayer by Rev.
Young, who also closed the exercises
in very neat and appropriate speech.
The young folks rendered some good
m usic after which all went home well
pleased and none were more so than the
pastor and bis family.
Once more we return our hearty
thanks 10 the kind donors and ask the
rich blessings of Jesus Christ upon
them all. JOSIAH MAY.

Company. In January last the annual
election of officers Of the company was
held in Titusville aud the ticket or in

elected. The regularity ofthis election
is disputed by the party headed by
Benson, Perrin 4 Company, and hence
the contest. Cumulative voting is one

The Size of the Temperance
Question.

The New York Tribune says: at
does no good for men to sneer at the
agitation in regard to the liquor trafr
fic. The subject is too important to
be laughed down 1t may be that pro-
hibition is not the right way to settle
it, or that license is not, or that taxa
tion is not; these are fair questions
upon which difference of opinion
between sincere and candid men is
possible. But the subject has become
altogether too important to be ignored,
or passed over without q serious at
tempt to settle it. Aside from the law
defying spirit which it has elected,
aside from all its moral and religious
aspects, the question, considered pure
ly as one of dollars and cents, in it's eff
feet upon the national prosperity and
wealth. is one of the most important
that can be named.
Directly and indirectly, this country
spends in the liquor traffic every year
a sum exceeding half the national
debt. The cost of that traffic to the
country, direct and indirect, is greater
than the profits of all it's capital not
invested i'm real estate. 1t costs every
year more than our civil serv ice, our
army, our navy, our congress, includ-
ing the river and harbor and pension
bills, our wasteful local governments,
and all national, state, county and local
debts, besides all the schools in the
country. in fact, this nation pays
more for liquor than for every junction
| for every kind of government How
| is q question of that size TO be put
aside with sneer ?
But the cost of the liquor drank is
not by any means the whole cost OF
the liquor traffic. An Official report,
prepared with much labor by the Bu-
reau of Statistics of Massachusetts,
under authority Of the Legislature,
states that eighty-four per cent. of all
/ the crime and criminal expense in the
State comes directly from the abuse
Of liquor. There are at le st one in
twenty of the able-boGied men in this
country who are rendered idle by
their habits or incapacity for work,
ana these persons, AT tne orulnary
wages OF workingmen, would earn, if
Industrious and fairly employed, over
$500. 100000 yearly. The proportion
of persons in hospitals who reach them
because of excess of drink is very large,
but cannot be defnately ascertained
A traffic that costs in aoIual payment
and in loss OF productive labor more
than half the national debt every year
is not TO be ignored by economists.
1t may be assumed that the entire
wealth Of the country has risen from
$50, 900, 900, 900, in 1870, to $4,000.
900, 900, in 1880, about one half real
estate Probably it does not average
profits exceeding four per cent. yearly,
taking bad with good but at that rate
the yearly interest on all personal
property of all kinds is only $1,000
900, 600, and the direct or indirect cost
of the liquor traffic must be greater.
The time has gone by in this coun-
try when serious discussion OF a
question that involves such vast ex
pense to the nation can be prevented
by bnllying, intolerance, insolence or
ridcule This very practical people,
having begun TO think about the mat.
ter in earnest, perceives that it is much
too important W bs put udaS st ths
