Explanation.

We have been telling you all summer
years ago, and now probably you would
like to know how we are succeeding. We
will tell you. First We like to tell it be
cause it did so much for our fellow citi-
zens, and second. because it has placed us
in the foremost rank among the large
dealers in this great State of ours. We
believe We have the largest wholesale
trade. and are coafident we have the lar
gest retail trade also. To give you an
idea, our Mr. Lieghner has just returned
from n Y. State. where he contracted To
have twenty five thousand dollars worth of
one kind of carts made; this we believe is
the largest deal Of the kind ever made in
the State Just think OF it, $50, 600 worth
of one kind of road carts, and then think of
the many other kinds we are handling.
\ GU would naturally ask, Nv here do they
go2" We could not tell you here, the
freight agents at the different depots could
give YOU some idea, but they 90. One
thing YOU may be certain of, that it's not
buying dear and selling high that makes
them go Then think of the number of
Buggics, Wagons, Harness, &c., that We
SELL it would scare you To tell you the
amount we have sold since last January.
You ask again, how does it come. Can't
others buy for cash too and sell just as
cheap as you do, We answer: We use our
own capital; we pay no rent; we have not
bought bill i'll 9 years, that We did dis
count. You see we make this business
exclusively and are large dealers, the ad-
vantage you will understand III an instant
when we tell you. According to agree
ment among carriage manufacturers the
price is uniform on same grades of work,
but purchasers of 30 jobs or more get dis
count OF 3 per cent; purchasers of 100 jobs
or more get dis count of per cent, and
purchasers of 800 Jobs or more get dis
count of 10 per cent, which is the largest
discount allowed any dealer, and as we
buy more than 800 you see we can sell you
work at the same price small dealers pay,
and still have profit of 10 per cent. Now
fellow citizens we are perfectly willing To
give you the benefit of our advantage in
the market, for it is your patronage that
helps us, and it is only right that while you
stand with us we should not bctray your
confidence, and we won't. Remember we
are here all the time, our word is as good
as gold. You know what you are getting
every time we tell you plainly. We have
all kinds, the cheapest and the very best,
so can Just suit you; we don't try to get
rich off one customer. We never mis-
represent. Call and see us, whether you
want to buy or not.
Yours, &c,

SeatOn or Fish.

The Seaton-F Fish mystery seems to grow
deeper as each step is taken. During the
latter part of last week Col. Redic visited
parts of yenango county, with photographs
of Ada Seaton in his possession and no.
body recognized them as resembling Anna
Fish.
ON Monday evening Wilbur +. Brandon
and his mother, now Of Butler, but who
lived for several years in Salena, Vcnango
county, testified before Esq. Kcck. Wilbur
was playmate of the real Annie Fish, had
been To see Ada Scaton in jail here. did
not recognize her and did not think il was
her.
Mrs. Brandon said that Annie Fish was
a short, heavy set girl, two years ago, and
she could not recognize this girl as being
her.
Wednesday noon, Esq. Keck dispos sed of
Of the matter by having the girl brought
before him, and discharging her. She has
been helping in Col. Redie's kitchen ior
the past days, and he says she is the best
girl they have ever had.
On Thursday morning Miss Seaton was
taken to the residence of Mrs. Watson
Mays of Annsvillc, where she will stay
for the present
So ends the chapter-perhaps.

That absurd" Market House.

a wild suggestion comes from the
CITIZEN. which for intense originality aud
concentrated absurdity deserves leather
medal That enterprising journal proposes
that the County Commissioners erect a
market house on Diamond Park. with a
cellar for the storing Of onions and cab
bages. The county has as much use for a
market house as it has for slaughter
house, pig pen or a soap factory
inst as much. no more; and it has the
same need of any or all of these in Butler
that it has in any other town in the county
no more. If the people of this town
want a market house, it is their own affair.
a matter of municipal control, expense and
revenue But they would not, if they had
the power, degrade to the purposes of a
corner grocery the only public spot which
the place contains that can be devoted tn
ornamental uses. Let the little Park he
made thing of beauty upon which the
eye of the citizen of the town or county
and those of his wife aud children may rest
with pleasure, but sell apple-butter and
sauer-kraut and store potatoes and turnips
somewhere else
The above is from the local column of
the Eaqle of last week and is such unusual
" vigorous language for the Professor TO
use as to make one fear that it was inspired
by a dose of the new elixir
The people of this town need market
house. need one badly, as badly as our
esteemed contemporary needs local
editor who will occasionally throw an
intensely original idea no matter how
"concentratedly absurd, into the mass of
inanity that usually fills its columns; and
as for location the Diamond is the only
square near the centre of population, left
open for it.
market house here would work to the
advantage of the farmers of nearly the en-
tire county, it would induce many who do
not now think of Butler as a market to
come here, it would pnt an end to the
necessity for street peddling, the eompari-
son and the competition there would en-
courage them to raise the best, they would
get their cash on delivery, and would have
place to store their surplus.
To the town people it presents the at
traction of fresh produce on market days,
pick and choice without travelling from one
end of the town to the other, and a reliable
supply.
4 market house properly managed Is a
profitable institution to the owners, and as
the county owns the best place in the town
for it, we see no reason why it should not
build it,-cxcepting as we stated in the
item that the Professor jumped on so
furiously,-t there is at present no law
for it. There is law for the building of
market houses by cities. 1t looks now as
though Butler would be city in the near
future, and then she can build "A market
house in some out oI the way place and
perhaps force people to patronize it by pro
hibiting street peddIing, as has been done
by some of the town Of the Eastern part of
State If built by the county, everybody
in the county would feel the same pro
prietorship in it that they do i'll the Court
House. and it would be controlled in the
interest of all, therefore we are in favor of
a law authorizing the erection of market
houses by the County Commissioners.
