He had brought him up to haye him sent to an asylum with the hope that some- thing might be done for him. It was certainly a sad sight to see a stout young man like this deprived of his reason. Mr. Simmons very grateful to the officers in But- ler for their promptness in his behalt, and the interest manifested. time was Butler Carriage Works. For some time it has been our in- tention to speak of this enterprise, and of the gentlemanly proprietors who have inyested their money, their time, their energies and experience in this manufacturing esiablishment in Butler. The proprietors Messrs. Catterlin & Legg, have become pretty well known to our people and ot their business qualifications st is hardly worth our while to speak, as their unparalle success in_ their pre- sent undertaking fully demonstrate they are capable of managing any- thing they take hold of. Fora lon& time the hue and cry of the citizens of Butler, have been manufactories, but no one seemed to be willing to risk his money in anything for fear of loss. Finnally Messrs. Catterlin & Legg believing from the surroundings that it would pay, and that the coun- erected a large building on the east side of the square and without a word, or a ripple, put force of try demanded it, men to work and the manutacturing of buggies and spring wagons.

Ti is an enterprise that every citizen in the county should feel proud of, and we believe do. Their buggies, carriages and wagons, are made of the very best wood and iron, and to make it better the stamp of Catterlin & Legg goes with each piece as a guaranty. They are now put- ting up some as handsome work as canbe found anywhere. Stand by the Butler carriage works, encourage them with your patronage and_ in- fluence, and you will be surprised to see the growth of this institution one year hence. Ind ans and Whisky.

When the barkeeper set out two glasses us usual, one large for water and the other smaller for the poison the red noble men filled both glass- es to the brim with the exhilerating liquor and drank it down without so It has been truly much as a wink, said that the red man is fast catching up with the w. white broth- er in more ways than one,—Sedalhia- Democrat.
