GIeanings from Six Points.

Business is lively at the Points the
spring trade has opened about three
weeks earlier than usual and the busi-
ness men and merchants anticipate a
good spring trade, dependent largely
ppon tho rapid development and pres
ent indications that the Points are
destined in the near future to ont-riyal
and surpass her sister city Byron
Centre.
The stave mill is running fgll time.
every person is in the stave business ;
If the farmers would only consult their
own interests they would not cut off
all their timber, running the sale OF
their farms, to patronizc monopoly
like the Standard Oil Co.

Congressional Districts.

Before the Legislature met we said
that the re-districting OF the State into
new Congressional districts. as the iaw
requires, would be perhaps the most
difficult task at the present session.
Our prediction seems to be verified and
we think it now very doubtful If any
bill Is agreed upon. One reason is the
great number of Statesmen ambitious
to 20 to Congress, who naturally want
districts formed to suit them politically
One of our members of the House,
"Uncle Jacob" seems to be in this
class. In fact from the below remarks
made by him last week, when the bill
agreed upon by his fellow Democratic
members was up, it wocld seem that
he has for long time pas: had Con-
gressional aspirations. This bill places
or Joins this county with Armstrong
and Indiana counties for a district. 1t
would be Republican district and is
one of the few districts in that bill that
Republicans could not well object to.
But the Hon. Harry White lives in In
diana county, and as be is charged
with being kind of standing candidate
for Congress, f'Uncle Jacob" does not
want to be in the same district with
him. SO when this Democratic bill
came up our member is reported as
speaking as follows:
."Uncle Jake Ziegler, of Butler, made
vigorous but Intellectual kick against
having his county put in Harry Whites
district. lie closed the debate by say
ing Il suppose I'll have to vote for the
bill, as the lessor of two evils. When
Butler was Joined to Allegheny | was
in Assyrian bondage; then | was sent
into Egyptian darkness, and now | am
to be banisbed into Babylonian captiv-
ity by being joined to Indiana. I'll
vote for the bill, but in the classic
words of Colonel Slote, "'Holy
Noses y" A vote was then taken and
the House adjourned"
We regret that Uncle Jacob yields
anv consent to this bill In many Of
it's other features it is a clear gerry
mander, and we do not see how the
Republicans of the Senate can ever
agree to it. Much as is the demand tor
the passage of some bill in that matter,
yet we think the Republican Senate
should hold out for more fair one
The bill offered by the Republicans In
the House joins our county with Mer-
Ger and Venango counties, which would
be much more natural district. at
present it looks as if the bills re-district-
ing for Judicial districts, and for Sen
ate districts, may be agreed upon and
passed, but as to the future Congress
districts there is evidently trouble
ahead

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE,

In SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, 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 Patent Gold Watch Gases this
WASTE is saved, and soLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldere,l on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases. lacks,
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 this process. Each
case as accompanied acih raid guarantee
signed by the manufacturers tcayrantinq 1t to
,cedr 20 years. 10000 Of these Gases
now carried In the United States and

Thanks.

To Henry Brunermer, of Connoque-
Messing township, we return thanks for
copy Of the Democratic. Herald. of
date Of December 20, 1S43, sent US in
response to our request Of last week.
1t contains the "Trial Of Samuel Mo-
hawk" at December term Of Court,
l843, and from this it would appear
the execution of Mohawk must have
been in the year 1874, and not in ls45,
as stated last week. IF Mr.. Brunermer,
or any other person in or out of this
county, can send MS an old Herald with
the erecution Of Mohawk in, or con-
tanning al article from Rec Bassler
on Mohawh, we will be greatly obliged.
1t must have been published in the
winter or spring of 1874, as the exc
cution took place about then.

explosion occurred near the London
Times building. The first shattered
the windows and doors in the imme-
diate vicinity of the place where the
explosion occurred, and the damage in
flicted is estimated at $4,000. The
explosion near the Times office did no
damage. Dynamite was used, and the
London papers charge that the whole
affair is the beginning of an effort to
terrorize the English people by secret
organization of Irish agitators in order
to force concessions by Parliament to

IT is to be hoped the sad accident
happening to our Senator at Harrisburg
last week will not impair his useful
ness to his constituents or to the State.
For time he may have one Finger
less in any legislation before the SEN
ate, but that will be the only loss.
Prize fighting is manly art, but when
practiced, or inflated, among our Sen
ators, they should be equally sized.
The "overgrown boy from Butler"
should not have selected zone of the
diminutive Senators" to experiment
upon.
The following is the account of the
accident as given in the Harrisburg
Telegraph:
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1883-03-28
TOO FUNNY.

"Senator Greer, of Butler, was
sportively initiating the battle between
Mcknight and Emery, with one OF the
diminutive Senators, the smallest now
in the chamber, when he dislocated bis
finger SO badly that physicians SER
vices were necessary. The queer oc-
currence occasioned an infinite amount
of fun."
To which the Pittsburgh CONNER
cial Gazette, in referring to the matter,
adds the following: "What is to be-
come of the dignity of the State Senate
if the application Of Emery ruflles the
temper instead of smoothing the rough
places in legislative life? And how
unfortunate that another Senator in
playing boyish antics and making
mockery of his brethren of that House
should break his finger instead of his
leg. His neck could not well be spared.
Another such day would make the
institution about ready to fence in, roof
over, and exclude it as much as possible
from public observation"
