The year 1886 was somewhat note worthy in the chronolgy of religion in Ameaica as during it the most numerous Protestant church in the | country, the Methodist, crossed the | tine of 2,000,000. Its net n for | the year was a round 100,009.

There has been a great deal of theoretical and speculative bosh going the rounds of the newspapers to Cleveland and second fermism. Mr. man and whatever he may have said in respect Cleveland is but ha in a fit of overworked despondency, an indorsement of his official acts in the highest office in the giftof a people, by tendering him a second term could be but flattering to his pride and we opine he would hesitate a long time before refusing to accept such an endorsement. queens Blue Jay Williams, the black brute who made an assault upon a lady of Ft. Scott a few weeks ago, was found guilty and sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary. Mrs. Nixon, of Nevada, went to Ft. Scott tified the negro as the one who made # felonious assault on her at Nevada, on the 15th of March, during the and iden temporary absence of her husband. In the event of the negro’s acquittal the arrangement was made with the officers to hold Williams till a requi site could be procured, when he would have city for t been brought to that The recent assault on a young lady at Rockvill, is another warning to iadies who are alone in the house at the time, from giving food and drink to those roving scoundrels who are and whole lives are made up of crime. It would be much better when such too indolent to. work whose vagabonds ask for bread to show them the muzzle of a shotgun, shut your door in their faces, for giving them meat will not prevent them from committing any crime their beastly lusts suggests. for unlike even a dog the majority are incompetent of gratitude. An ounce of cold lead is a mighty good civilizer of such savages. The Times disclaims any intention of casting reflections upon any com- munity, as it is deeply interested in all parts of Bates county, more so, ‘perhaps, than those obscure and ir- vesponsible parties who would like to pose as the champions of a neigh borhood, and have their fame known beyond the narrow confines of their own little dung hills.

The number of real estate transfers for one week ending April Ist. was 336, and the amount was $794,460. There is no possible doubt but that natural gas underlays Butler, as it has been found in nearly every por- tion of the county. and with the proper effort, and comparatively small outlay of capital it could readily be This furnishes the cheap- est and best fuel for manufacturing purposes that can be had. Is there any good reason why under the same conditions the same forces would not Butler work equally well at as at Befor this gas period of little over : ey was a town of ¢ or five thousand inhabitants, now her population is more than three times that number.

The following is the coal senes of Bates county taken from the geologic of Prof. Broadhead. A careful perusal will show that coal al survey underlays 2 great portion of Bates county, and most of it workable.

Twp. 42, range 29, having about 26 square miles in Bates, may aver- age the same number of feet as Twp. 41, (or 5 feet.) Twps. go, 41 and 42, range 30, are probably underlaid by coal, although it all lies deep About 8 square miles of W. part of Twp. 38, range 31. are probably underlaid by about 4 or coal. Of Twp. 39. range 31. twenty miles are underlaid by 5 feet. Twp. 40, range 31, must be under- laid by the thick coal found south and east, averaging 3h to 4 feet, with another seam of 1} feet. Twenty- four miles are underlaid by another seam of g inches, and $ miles by 24 feet. To reach thick seams at But- ler, shafts would have to be sunk 190 to 240 feet.

An important feature of the June Harper's will be an entertaining ar ticle on “The Kentucky Pioneers” by John one of their direct descendants. The interest of the Masou Brown subject clusters all around the pictur- esque little village of Frankfort, the favorite resort of Daniel Boone, and the place where the famous pioneer is buried. The romantic story of Boone and his intrepid companions is rehearsed in a graphic description of the thrilling incidents, the tierce Indian fights, the hardy habits, and the huntsman skill of this noble race. One of the most important passages is that describing the last great In- dian battle in Kentucky. at Bryant’s Station with its many scenes of heroism. of the artic! and Blue Licks, The value is enhanced by excel 1 Boone, Si lent engravings of Dar Kenton, John Kenton, John Brown.
