LOCAL ITEMS. wanted, Mr. Any depositions Trish? Cz ameeta ot the firm of Shep- | ne & Co., Adrian, was in town on Thursday. The rain on last Wednesday | morning only extended a short dis- tance north of this city. | Courtney & Willams shipped five cars of cattle to St. Louis, last week. Among the lot were 18 head that averaged 1,600 Ibs. Confound your depositions, Gov. They are not the kind I want but if you will just please induce Mr. Nichol to let go, I shall be under ev- erlasting obligations. During the severe thunder storm on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, of last week, two horses were killed by lightning in the pas- ture of Mr. Parks three-fourths of a mile east of of Virginia. Maj. Bradley and Judge Moler were upon Thursday to meet the distinguished visitors from the east. They went over to Walnut the next day. They are both heavily interested in coal lands in South Eastern Bates. Col. Ed. Brown will shortly visit the oil regions of Pennsylvania to make observations and_ purchase machinery preparatory to thoroughly prospecting the Rich Hill country. So says the Review. The formation of a prospect for oil at Adrian gives promise of complete success. It is a move in the nght direction and we hope it may result in a big find. In fact, we believe it will. company to Arthur Henry informs us that as he was going to Rich Hill after a load of goods on Thursday evening, the storm blew his wagon up against the tence two or three times in daager ot — puDEeE: and was It 1s maid there 1s to be a lawsuit about the human hides which were tanned at the Tewksbury almshouse Mass. Butler’s investgation has brought to light many disgusting facts. The tanner yalues the hides at $3,000. Mormis Keyes, of Agee informs us that he has sold his brick building in that place. The three gentlemen, who purchased it, are jointly worth $20,000 and wil! put in a splendid stock ot goods for the fall trade. It's a lug thing for our neighboring town. Gov.

Fences Passing through Rich Hill on our way to and trom Walnut, we met with the most courteous treatment from all. The Hill isa solid, sub- stantial city and need have no fears of Walnut nor of any other place. All ill feeling is unfortunate and we hope to see it allayed. There ample room for both places. is Between Rich Hill and Walnut the crop prospect could could not be better. Corn is simply magnifi- cent. It was slightly damaged in places by the wind. Some stalks were broken down. We only no- ticed one field where the loss will amount to anything. A large frame building belonging to Sanderson & Wilson, Rich Hill, Was being removed to make room fora fine brick store. The wind on last Thursday night, which was quite Severe, wrecked it so badly that it will probably have to be torn down | before it can be moyed any further.

Dr E. isa Gilmore, of Adrian, has been invited to deliver the oration at the anniversary ot the battle of Lone x August 16th Su pervising Architect Hill is in hot water at Washington. He has been defrauding the government in erecting public buildings and it is highly probable he will be punished. Lefker & Childs are putting up a warehouse at the depot. They will buy all kinds of grain, flax seed, &c. A six ton standard Howe received last week by the new The Rockviile Glode mation’’ has been filed against Thos. Trish for criminal libel.

Thorne was bound over to appear at circuit court, in the sum of $500. Drunkenness is reported as having become very commonamong officers of theU. S. Asiatic squadron. A number will probably be dismissed from the service. The St. Louis and Kansas City papers all noticed the arrival of the party of distinguished gentlemen who visited this county last week. We are in receipt of an invitation to attend the reunion on the battle field of Wilson Creek, on August Sth, 9th and roth. Surviyors ot both armies are engaged in working up the reunion. The Henry County Democrat 1s pitching into the company which got up a history of that county, on ac- count of inaccuracies. It’s the same company that worked a_ similar enterprise in Bates up While cleaning a Baptist meeting house in Bucks county, Pensylyania, recently, the sexton found in the loft about two bushels of shells of hickory nuts which the squirrels had deposited there last fall use. for winter The company of Butler capitalists, whom last week mentioned, Thev took stock inthe gold mine and feel weil satisfied with the prospect. Gov. Tabor, to whom they carried letters of introduction, informed them that Mr. Nicholis a man of large means and amply able to build our railroad if he wishes to do so. we have returned from Colorado.

There is no use to argue in behalt of the school. Its usefulness has been demonstrated and is admitted by all. In plain terms there must be immediate action or the institution will suffer severe loss. It must be advanced a point or it will go back- ward of itsown weight. Those who have the matter charge should urge it torward with all their might. Two months ago was a much better time to solicit than now, but, if there is still further delay until public , at- tention shall be engrossed withman- ufacturing enterpri In > even greater difficulty will be experienced. ‘The golden opportunity was last May. The next best is right now. In. six weeks more there will be so much on hand that the academy will, tor the time, be forgotten. Men will neglect it when any project is on hand which promises to make mon- ey for them. The committee should get to work immediately. To solicit tor a public enterprise 1s a thankless, disa- greeable task. Yet some friends of the Academy must undertake the work or it will langush instead of be- ing a vigorous, progressive school. If the present need is supplied, it will not be five years until But- ler Academy will be a flourishing college. It is coming to that if we all do our duty. Dou’t Be Too Hasty. There tsa general teeling that the question of water-works for Butler must be met and before long. What the proposition will be or in what shape it will be presented is not Abundance ot great benefit to this city 1f manufacturing shall be en- gaged in to any considerable extent. It is generally admitted that Butler must become self-sustaining to « great extent. In other words that we must resort to manufacturing so as to afford employment to borers. The question is of interest to Butler, and, being such importance, no one should make up his mind hastily. View the whole decided yet known. water would be of very la- vital of matter with deliberation, weigh every argument adyanced pro or con and then vote as you think the Every citizen ot this place will prosper just In proportion as the city does, hence when reaching a decision as to what will prove ot general benefit, it is one and the same thing as decid- ing your own personal success.
