Till it reached such a height

And they found it next day in the spoir.

the remark of Pittsburg newspaper that

See that your cows are under shelter

Coming home from the agricultural
f air, where he had been awarded all Of the
prizes, the old farmer complacently re-
marked: Eyes, the judges were good men
and their decisions gave gineral satisfac-

The fire of Sunday night showed the
necessity for system Of fire alarms in this
town. The Campbell Hose Co.'S bell was
the first to be rung, and strange to say
the next was the Springdale bell; the First
Ward Co. heard the Springdale bell first
and ran their cart to the Willard House
before discovering their mistake. Butler
is spread oyer too much and too uneven
ground for the freman to know where to
start for promptly, particularly on foggy
night.
Physical training is engaging the
attention of young women everywhere,
and the New York Sun says the following
is one of the latest and best exercises used
by young women who aspire to Delsarte
training: Fill large basin with water
and place obliquely in it, so
that the over edge shall rest in
the bottom of the basin and the
upper one lean against the opposite side,
corrugated piece Of wood covered with
zinc. Then take some sort of cloth, souse
in water and rub briskly on the board
little soap will lessen the friction and
render the exercise more gentle.
On Friday last Mr. Mangel received
letter. which had been mailed at Myoma,
Wednesday evening, enclosing the key for
the lock of the tin box, and also another
letter of advice. Two men with a rig ar
rived at Myoma about O'Clock that even
ing, and after short rest drove on, and as
q arig hired from livery here by stranger
Wednesday afternoon, was left at Beaver
Falls, Friday, it is supposed that the two
men who swindled Mangel drove to Beaver
Falls by way of Myoma.
Here is some good seasonable advice
from the jamestown, (Pa) Sentinel: "Dur
ing the school days parents should be
very careful of how they speak of teachers
before children. Ifthere is any fault to be
found with a teacher by parents, it should
be talked of in private and not in the hearing
of the children. They are wonderful imi-
tators, and if they hear anything of the
kind, they very naturally will do the same
many times, Injuring both the teacher and
the pupils most. Teachers, as rule are
competent, or they would not be employed.
They have great responsibility on their
shoulders, and parents should do all in
their power to help them, instead of to
hinder. The school year has just begun,
and it would be well to weigh these sub
jects carefully, cooperate with the teach
ers, visit the schools, and encourage both
teachers and pupils in their work. The
result will be good work and better pro-
gress.
The season is now here when the trac
tion engine will be on our roads day and
night and it is well to remind owners and
others of the law governing them on the
roads. every engine propelled by steam
must have man at least 800 yards ahead
of the engine to warn persons riding or
driving upon any public road of the fact
that the engine is coming, and also to
assist in the management Of any horse
or horses that may require his assistance to
control. 1t also requires the engine to run
road and to remain stationary until said
horse or horses have passed to safe
distance, IN the meantime making as little
noise as possible with the steam. The
penalty of falling to comply with the law
is fine of ten dollars and costs. The law
further requires the man in charge OF the
engine to have printed copy posted on
his engine under fine of ten dollars
Tindicator.
A young Butler man before he left for
the Worlds Fair went to bank and got
some change, including a number of silver
quarters. When he got back he went to
the bank and said to the teller, THAT
change you gave me was all good with
the exception of one silver quarter. |
could not pass it at all in Chicago. and
whenever l offered it was looked upon
with suspicion" The teller took the
quarter, applied the usual tests and then
said, "That quarters good; the only thing
wrong is that it has lost its ring and he
showed faint crack in the edge, scarcely
dscernable under the milling. Asked to
explain how a coin loses its ring, the
teller said A coin loses its ring fronl
being imp perfectly stamped. That is, the
die does not strike it squarely. As a con-
sequence the edge splits, but you cannot
see the crack because of the milling. 1t
may ring all right for q time, when thrown
down, but by and by the crack begins to
assert itself, to show that it is there, SO to
speak, and the coin loses its ring and many
refuse to take it, believing it to be counter
fit. We often get them, both in gold and
silver" This is new idea. Hereafter do
not condemn coin as counterfeit until you
are sure of it,
