Presidents Message.

The readers of the CITIZEN will find
upon its first page those portions of the
recent Message of President Arthur to
Congress that we deemed of most in
terest to them. The parts that are
not given are mainly concerning our
affairs with certain foreign countries
AS the extras, called supplements, that
are now annually offered to the press
and used by some as means of circu-
lating the annual message of the Presi-
dent, have been found often very in
correct, and are printed in such small
type, we have declined to use them,
preferring to give it in what we know
most of our readers desire, larger
type, and being therefore more easily
read.
AS to the message itself, the general
complaint is that it is non-committal
on the questions of most Importance to
the people at the present time. 1t is
difficult to find out just what his opin-
ions are on the currency and financial
questions of the day. The part Of the
message most interesting to the people
will probably be the closing one, rela-
tive to the succession to the Presidency.
in certain contingencies. 1t is a most
earnest hope of all that Congress will
not suffer this session to pass without
enacting law more clearly defining,
not only the mode of electing the Pres
ident and counting the electoral vote,
but also that clause of the Constitution
which speaks of the inability" of the
President to gil his office. The recent
events of the country demand this
legislation in order to secure its peace
and permanence.

How They Voted.

All three of the members from this
county in the Legislature, Messrs.
Greer, Donly and Ziegler voted for the
salary bill, paying full expenses for the
continued or called session. They also
voted to pass the bill over the head of
the Governor after his veto of it. Mr..
Donly, we see it stated, returned to the
Treasury $l7O5O, which, we under
stand, was the amount of the IL days
recess taken at the commencement of the
session and five days absence. Mr..
Greer returned 800 tor, we presume,
days of recess taken at the commence
ment of the session. We see no
mention made in his account of any
days Of absence. This perhaps was
because those days were, as the vendue
bills says, "too numerous to mention" ]"
As to Mr.. Ziegler, SO far as we have
seen, be appears to have not presented
his warrant at the Treasury as yet.
Since writing the above we see by
the Philadelphia Times of Saturday
last that Senator Greer returned but
$lO0 to the State and Representative
Donly but $llO. The amount of the
warrant presented at the Treasury by
Greer was for 81, $50, and that of Mr..
Donly was for 81, $40. Mr.. Ziegler's
warrant is for the same amount as that
of Mr. Donly, but, as is stated, has not
been presented as yet.

Parker Township Items.

One of the school houses of this twp,
commonly know as the Daubenspeck
school, was burnt to the ground last
Tuesday night. 1t is supposed by
some, to have been an act of incendiar-
ism, but ''no telling" 1t was great
loss, however, to the people of that dis
trict, as about one hundred and fifty
dollars worth Of books was lost, and it
is we'll known this school had the best
books of any in the township. We
must add that the Directors have eX-
hbited a surprising lack of energy in
regard to getting the school in running
order again.
1t was q rather naughty act Of the
young man "across the hollow" brush

FURIOUS FLAMES.
Butler Court House in Ruins.

About 8 o'clock Tuesday morning
FIRE was seen issuing from the top of
one of the chimney fues of the Court
House. The flue from which the fire
came was one of those up stairs in the
room in which Court is held. From
the smoke on the roof of the building
it was soon apparent hidden fire was
between the ceiling and the roof. The
fremen were promptly upon the ground
and did all possible to save the building,
but all efforts failed and the whole
building was soon wrapped in flames.
At this writing, IL NJ, Tuesday, moth
ing but the columns in front and the
brick walls remain to tell the extent of
the ruins. The records, we are glad to
say, are all saved-a few may be dam
aged, but none we think are lost. All
tie adjoining buildings, around the
Diamond, are saYed. When the flames
reached the cupola and the statue OF
General Butler the scene was as sad as
it was grand. We understand insurance
to the amount of $4,000 is upon the
building. The Court, being in session
this week, was removed for the time to
the M. E. Church. Three accidents. I'VE
believe are all that happened-Mr. Ed
ward Weygand had his eyes badly in
jured by the water from the hose, near
the nozzle, being suddenly thrown in
bis face. Mr.. Curtis Smith fell some
distance in attempting to climb up in
the inside OF the building in search OF
the fire and has sprained limb. Mr..
Charles Heineman also received some
Injury from falling plaster.
The present Court House was COM
menced in the year 1858, thirty years
ago, finished in 1854, and, we think, first
occupied in Dec. of that year or winter
of 1855.
