Wednesday last was lively day in
Butler. 1t was known our Mercer
county neighbors (now more closely
connected) were coming to join in a
grand celebration of the completion of
the Shenango and Allegheny road to
Butler. But we did not look for so
great number coming. Butler was
agreeably surprised. From Greenville
alone the excursion started with over
400 people, accompanied by the fine
Cornet Band of that lively and enter
prising city. At Mercer, Fredonia,
Grove City, and other places in Mercer
county, they were joined by large num-
bers. Coming into this county, Har-
risville, New Hope, Coaltown, Sun
bury, and other points added to swell
the numbers. By the time the train
reached Butler it contained Ia coaches
and about 900 passengers.
Arriving here the excursionists were
met at the depot by large turn out of
our citizens and our Germania Cornet
Band. Carriages had been provided
to take the ladies and children to the
spacious grounds of the Orphans Home,
which had been selected as the place of
reception. Refreshments, coffee, lemon
/ ade, fruits, etc, had also been provid-
| ed by our citizens The excursionists,
however, generally had their baskets
with them, in regular picnic style.
When all had assembled at the
Orphans Home, filling the shaded
| grounds, halls and extensive porticos
of the Home, few words of cordial
welcome were made by Hon. John NJ.
Thompson on behalf of our citizens,
which were responded to by the Hon.
James A. Stranahan, on part of the ex-
cursionists. After this the baskets
were opened, the refreshments spread,
and regular picnic time had, all of
both counties getting acquainted and
mingling in social intercourse.
AS the time for leaving approached,
4:3O P. NJ the people sought the depot
and all left in safety for their return
home.
With the excursionists we noticed the
officers OF the s. & A. r. r., Messrs.
| Blair, Steele and Stinson, James
Campbell, Esq, formerly of Parker
township, this county, James c. Brown,
ESQ.,, editor of the Greenville AdUance
Argus, VIM. Achre, Esq. and 9th hers
of G-eenville. From Mercer we notic-
ed Hon. S. II. Miller, Capt, G. W,
Whistler, P ] Pierce, Esq, and j. A.
Stranhan, Esq, among the crowd.
The whole affair passed off very
pleasantly and the universal expression
was that it was great success. 70
those of our citizens who exerted them
selves to make our visitors welcome
and comfortable much credit is due.
All did well but to some special praise
must be given.

VARIOUS propositions were made in
the Legislature last week for settle
ment of the apportionment questions,
but none agreed upon. All along We
have been of the opinion with those
who think it is Constitutional de-
mand that this session of the Legisla-
ture should perform that duty. And,
if this is correct, it is not tenable or
timely to question the power or right
of the Governor to re-convene the Leg
islature as he did If the Constitution
requires the Legislation noa0, then it
is can extraordinary OCCASION" an
"emergency," that should be met.
What could be greater danger than
to disobey the very fundamental law
of the State 1t means what it says
or it means nothing. And if this Leg
islature disregards it, future ones can
do spalso. And, then what and where
might be the end?

Independence Day.

Day, ''that it will be celebrated by
succeeding generations as the great an
niversary festival. 1t ought to be COM
memorated as the day of deliverance by
solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty
1t ought to be solemnized with pomp and
parade, with shows, games, sports, guns.
bells, bonfires, and Examinations, from
one end of this continent to the other,
from this time forward forevermore.
Mr.. Adams's idea as delineated in the
foregoing set the fashion for the celebra-
tion Of the natal day Of this country - a
fashion which appears to be destined to
exist as long as the nation survives. To-
day we witness its recurrence and remem-

positively, but scrap of paper was found
on which was written, This man got sepa-
rated from his family in New York yesterday
they are supposed to have gone by the Fall

to the belief that the body was that of an
