A New History Of Butler County.

The plan OF a proposed history Of our
county was placed before us several months
ago BY Mr.. K. c. Brown of the publishing
firm OF r. C. Brown d Co. We then gave
the enterprise our endorsement and sup
port To day We have clearer eoncep-
ton Of the scope of this work aud believe
that the many chapters, devoted to the
general history Of the county, as well as
those to the townships, boroughs and viii
lages, will form the complete story of this
county from the days of the Indian occupa-
tion to our own times. The first chapter
on the hysical structure of the county, its
mineral resources, soils, etc, etc. will be
written from the latest and most authentic
data; the chapters on the aboTigines and
pioneers will be the recital of the names
and incidents attendant on the going Of
the Redman aud the coming of the Cauca-
sian. That portion devoted to local GOV
eminent will form correct review of the
acts of the Commissioners, and the official
life of the County; while that to the Courts
and Bar will be record of the lawyers of
The past and present, of the Judges who
presided, and Of celebrated cases tried here.
Military affairs will be very fully treated,
the roster of the companies raised in this
county being made par Of this important
chapter. How far Bu Ter county was
identified with the War OF 1872, the NJ ext
can War, and the great Rebellion will be
shown, and the names of Lrf gallant sons
who went forth from their homes TO assist
in repelling foreign invasion, and later to
preserve the Union, will be given. The
chapters on the medical profession, journal
ism, education, religious societies, manu-
iactures, mining, canals, railroads, agri-
cultural and other associations, and the
discovery and development of the great oil
and gas fields of this section of the State,
will all be fall ard accurate; while the
many other chapters on the several town
ships and boroughs Of the county, together
with much valuable biography and
genealogy, will prove veritable encyolo-
pedia of local history. 1t appears to us
now that the publishers are determined to
surpass the excellent record they made in
the neighboring counties Of VeDango and
Mercer, and convinced of this we again
welcome their enterprise and wish the
work every success.
