IN the Republican caucus ct HARRISBURG
Wednesday, the three members Of the Leg
islature from this county voted for the
postponement Of the caucus, and after the
defeat Of that motion. they all voted Tor
the denomination and return of j. Donald
Cameron to the United States Senate.
We are sorry that they did 80 as they are
n ow in honor bound to vote for Cameron's g
election on the Goth inst, and we believe
the sentiment of the Republicans of this
q ounty il almost unanimous against the
political prostitution which has been forced
upon them ever since the days OF Simon
Cameron, and which has been continued
under the rule of his son.
WHILE Senator Harris was in the Chair
of the q. 8. Senate last Monday, Senator
Stewart made motion to substitute the
ssSilyerr bill on the calendar of the Senate
for the Elections bill, and as some Eastern
Senators were not in their seats at the time,
the motion carried, and the Elections, bill
is considered "shelved" for the present.

the illness of Col. Patterson, November of
the same year, the writer of this, very un
expected to himself, became the owner of
the paper and published the same there
until July, 1858. when he sold or rather
gave it away to John and Samuel Col, who
removed it elsewhere. Col. Patterson died
March 4, 1856. The writer had previously,
about 1885, built his first law office there,
standing in front of Miss McQuistion's
present home, and which was removed to
the rear end of same when her mother pur-
chased all that part of the lot, about 1864.
Mr.. Felix G. Negley, now of Pittsburg, and
his brother James A, now of Philadelphia,
built and established the first store house,

after Mr. James A. Negley removed it and
erected the then large brick store, and kept
store there for some years, part of the time
in connection with the late j. G. Muntz,
Esq. Mr. Adam Troutman, our present
successful merchant, had his first schooling
in store life there, part of the time in con-
nection with Mr.. Muntz. Mr.. Boos, present
owner, has but recently much enlarged
and improved it and it is now one of the
largest and finest in the town. The late
Mr.. John Pollock McQuistion kept store
there for number of years after 1864, and

OLD cITIzENs-AYREs' SQUARE.


one of the earliest settlers in Butler. This
square is now owned in equal parts by Ex.
Judge Il. McJunkin and Mr.. William
Campbell, Sr. General Ayres lived in a
part of the house Mr. McJun is now liv
ing in-the brick part. The other part
log framed-was used by him for his law
office, and was torn down by Mr.. McJunkin
when he purchased same, some 35 years
ago, and who built the brick instead, now
occupied as his law Office. Mr.. William
John Ayres, son of the General, occupied
this frame part for some years as jewelry
and watch repairing shop. He was the
father Of Capt. II. A. Ayres, yet among us.
Mr.. Campbell built his brick dwelling, on
his part of the square, where he now
resides, about 40 years ago.
General Ayres in person was a large man
and very dignifed in appearance and
manner; very particular in his ways and
punctilious in his habits. He always
dressed well, in great neatness, and always
in the same cut and color of cloth. In
some respects he might have been called
"a gentleman of the old school" He had
a large law practice and was careful in
business, one result of which was that on
his death, in 1s43, more judgments were
found of record in his favor than Of any
other man in the county. He left an estate
of about $50, 900. He was the first Pro-
thonotary of the county and was q member
of the Constitutional Convention of 1888,
to reform the Constitution of Pcnnsyl-
vania. These are the only Offices we be-
| lieve he ever held.

HABITS OF CAMELS.

-
When Once They Lie Down They VIII
Only Rise When They Please.
II any other animal gives out 1t Is
still possible to make 1t travel few
miles by judicious use Of patience
and club, but not so with a camel.
When he lies down he will get up only
when he feels like doing SO; you may
drag at the string which is fastened t5
the stick through his nostrils till you
tear it ovL he will only groan and spit.
1t was my first experience with camela
and vowed it should be my last; for,
taking them altogether, they are the
most tiresome and troublesome AMI
mails have ever seen. and are suited
only to Asiatics. the most patient and
suffering of human beings.
Besides their infirmities of temper,
resulting believe. from hereditary
dyspepsia, as evidenced by such coated
tongues. offensive breaths and gurgling
stomachs as have seen with no other
ruminants. they are delicate in the ex-
IRENE. They can work only in the
winter months, for as soon as their
wool begins to fall, Samson like, their
strength abandons them.
They can travel only over country
where there are no stones, for the pads
of their feet wear out and then they
have to be patched, a most troublesome
operation. The camel is thrown and
a piece of leather stitched on over the
foot the stitches being taken through
the soft part of it; in this condition
1t may travel till the skin has thickened
again; or what is more likely, until it
refuses to take step.-Century.

Leprosy Ii . Relic o< the Barbsrio Arss

Leprosy Is Relic cS the Barbario Arss.
and IL disappearing.
The close commercial relations be-
tween California and China have in
troduced quite number of lepers into
the former from the latter country. A
leper hospital in San Francisco has
contained as many as fifty-two unfor-
Inmates, all OF whom were Chinese.
No cases. however. have developed
from these among the inhabitants OF
any OF the Pacific states. In New York
city there have been half dozen iso-
lated cases during the past ten years.
and at the present time the writer
knows OF five cases of leprosy within
the city limits. Leprosy is relic OF
the barbaric ages. and it is, think.
slowly disappearing from the earth.
Civilization and progress will in time
complete its effacement. It is but an
other instance OF the ..Belated Crab"
Of Mr.. jackson, and we may join with
him in praying heaven to soon remove
it. We must not neglect certain SAFE
guards against it. however. for it is an
insidious disease. Half century Is
often necessary to effect its develop
ment in community. and it may gain
a foothold without attracting attention.
The action OF the government in rigid
ly quarantining against IL is commend
able. Lepers. to say the least arc not
desirable citizens, and such as reach O,.-
shores should be sent back to the places
whence they came. The establishment
of lazaretto has been advocated for
such cases as have developed among
us. / believe it should be done, and
hope to see it in the near future. as Il.
will undoubtedly prevent some cases
from occurring that would otherwise
occur. AS nation we have nothing
to fear from leprosy. The conditions
do not exist here to cause or even per-
NIT the spread Of the disease. and it is
not conceivable that they will exist I'M
til civilization proves a failue. DR..
