BUTLER CITIZEN.
J0HN n. & W. C. NEGiEY. PR0P'RS,
Entered at the PostoDfce at Butler as
second-clcSss matter.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, '93. |
Mn. WILLIAM FL. WALTERS has been
appointed postmaster at Mars Office,
this county.
THE House at Harrisburg has pass
ed bill prohibiting political assesf-
ments, and the State Senate is likely
to concur. Voluntary contributions
will, however, not be declined.
JOHN BRowN, was the name OF
Queen Victoria's venerable personal
attendant, and he is now dead.
Whether his soul will Ego marching
on.n as is that of our John Brown, is
very doubtful.
DUKES was given twenty-four hours
to leave UnioDtowD, by the indignant
citizens of that place, to which he had
returned. He left before that time
had expired. He was forced to resign
his seat in the Legislature, and the
same is declared vacant.
Ex-GovERNoR JOHN L. CARROLL,
great grandson of "Charles Carroll, OF
Carrollton," Md, signer OF the De-
claration Of of.Independence, and then
wealthy slave holder, was recently on
a jury in Ellicott City, Maryland, on
which were three colored men.
The Clarion county jury commits
sioners were somewhat surprised when
they discovered they had drawn a
woman's name for juryman for the
coming April term. If few more
women were drawn the juries would
perhaps give better satisfaction.
Mr.. CLARK WILSON, with portion
of his family, have removed back to
his house on the hill in Parker City.
He formerly published the Oilman's
Journal there, during the palmJ days
of Parker. He then publisnod pa
per here for q short tine and from here
removed to Smetbport, Mexican coun-
ty, Pa, where he and family are still
publishing the McKeam Democrat.
Miss. JEAN WALLACE, of Pittsburgh,
sang several pieces at the concert given
by the Germania Orchestra, in the
Court House last Thursday evening.
Her singing was very favorably re-
ceived and highly appreciated by the
large audience present. With fine
voice and very graceful and natural
manner she would likely be favorite
anywhere We understand an effort
will be made to have her return to
Butler at some future time.
Mr.. DAVID BOYLE, formerly of this
county, but now living near Rochelle,
Illinois, met with serious loss by fire
on the 11th ult. His barn, twelve
valuable horses, six choice milk cows,
seven calves, 1000 bushels of oats, 800
bushels Of corn, IA tons of hay and
other valuable property, were all con-
sumed. Mr. Boyle has become one of
Illinois extensive and successful farm
ers and we, with his many friends here,
regret to learn of his above loss. He
is a son-in-law of the late Judge Mar
shall, of Adams township, this county,
deceased.
III. Fl. GoUcHER, ESQ.,, has removed
to Warren, Warren county, Pa, for
the purpose of practicIng his profess
sion of the Law. Mr.. Goucher came
to this place from venango county,
about ten years ago and had succeeded
in building up very good practice
here as an attorney. He was regard
ed as an honest and honorable man in
his profession, and his leaving US, we
believe, is mainly in the hope of secur-
ing better health, which was not good
much of the time while here We can
commend him to favorable reception
among the people of his new home.
Mr.. HENRY FLICK, of Middlesex
township, this county, has our thanks
for copy of 1.-THE Butler Democrat"
sent US, of date of January 8, 1874, con-
tanning the "Trial Of Samuel Mohawk"
for the murder of the family of James
Wigton. This account in the Demo-
cr0t of the trial is much fuller than
that contained in the copy of the
Herald sent us by the friend we men,
toned last week. 1t contains the
charge to the Jury in the case by Judge
Bredin, which the Heraldcopy did not
The Democrat was then published by
DIR. George W. Gettys, and we have
no doubt if some of the following is-
sues of it, or of the Herald, in the fol-
lowing months of February, March or
April, 1874, could be found, the article
