New York Riot.

: RIOS, disgraceinl scenes have just been acied
in the City of New York. The rivalry be-
tween the actors, Necessary and FoRrsT, has
excited among their respective admirers The
most heated partizan zeal,Swhch has recently
shown itself in very outrageous acts Of violence.
A large mob on the 1lth inst. sacked and set
fire to the Astor Opera House in which Nc.
Cready was playing-npon which the Military
was ordered out, and forced to do execution
The number killed is estimatedat 81, and near
" 100 were wounded. The excitement is still
high. And more blood shed isexpec,ed.
ltis disre putsble 10 9zinteIlgent communi-
ty to be made ,hsthealre of such aces of Vio'
Ience and outrage from causes so trivial and in
significant. That society must stand on slen'
der basis indeed when it can be 80 terribly com
vuIsed by the smull chickering's of two stage
actors -.

Readin- Room and Library.

In connection with the Lyceum we would
respectfully urge the propriety Of forming a
Reading Room and Library for the public ad-
vantage. This may be done without any i'm
mediate expense. Many gentlemen would bc
willing. doubtless, to plnce tho papers they re-.
ceive by private subscription upon the files OF
a Reading Room; and the various Public Doc
umenls from time to time received by the men,
bers OF our Village would form The nucleus
of Library, which, in few years, would
largely increase.
The advantages Of these projects must he
manifest to all. If carried out, they will give
the public access 10 a greatvariely Of papers and
Periodicals, and furnish US with mass Of Ma.
tional statistics and other valuable information,
highly conducive to the intellectual improve
ment Of the community.
We hope these matters will recommend them
selves 10 the serious attention OF the public, and
prompt to immediate action in tho premises

notice 10 the contrary, are considered
wishing to continue their subscriptions.

3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to

5. The Courts have decided Thar refu-

volunteer Company.

An effor, is making TO raise Volunteer Corps
to muster at the Court House in this District.
The young men Of the village and neighboring
county are urged 10 assist in forming the COM
pany. II is almost disreputable to The Military
character Of this vicinity, that it should be wan
ting in good volunteer company. The mill
tary spirit of this section has always been high;
and until within llie last few years, il has been
kept mp by good Volunteer Corps. Is this
spirit departed from among usl Are the young
men in our midst no longer pleased with the
military exploits that illustrate 20 much Of the
history Of our State and Distric, Are they no
longer animated by the zeal and spirit, which
distinguished many Of their Fathers, and rem.
dered sacred, by deeds Of military prowess, so
many points and spots Of old Edgeheld7 They
should not allow this noble spirit to die out. 1t
ia their birthright-an inhe ritancc left them by
patriotic ancestry and as faithful progeny
they should strive to cherish and improve this
ancestral virtue.
4 proper intermixture Of military training is
an admirable element in the education Of young
Republicans. The sturdy virtues Of the soldier
furnish strong guaranty against The effemi.
nate influences Of an easy life, and the erect and
mauly discipline of military lie elevates the
character and pride of man. It teaches just
principle Of subordiuation, and iusts into tile
minds OF the young a self:sustaning reliance
by which they learn 10 endure hardships and 10
brave misfortunes. Military Education tends to
deuelops many Of the manlier qualities and feel
ings of The heart, and where its vices are well
guorded against, it is obliged TO elevate the
character Of nation. 1t was the nice blend
ing of civil and military Education in the Ro.
man commonwealth, that rendered the Roman
arms every where invincible, and so greu'ly ex-
tended that powerful empire.
Every Republic should have an eye 10 Militia
ry education in proper subordination 10 CIVIL if
for nothing else, than the manly virtues it is
calculated to inspire.
A proper Military spirit, therefore, should be
kept alive. And one Of the best means under
our institutions 10 effect this, is the influence of
Volunteer Corps. We take this for granted
As young Republicans therefore, ambitious to
excel in all the duties of republican life, and
upon whose efforts rest the military defence Of
The nation and the preservation Of our rights
and liberties, let the youth of the country cun>
vate the manly duties Of the soldier, BY so or
ganlzing themselves rs to receive military in>
structon and 10 cherish military spirit.
No time more favorable than the present
could offer itself for this movement, when oar
country is beset with danger and may need The
strong arm Of the soldier to preserve and de-
fend it.

1eiegraph:
The designs OF Russia on Turkey hsve
mol escaped the notice Of politicians on the

subject have been made touching the read
mess and the ability Of The Ottoman Porto
10 make an effeclual resistance. Though

Besides the lnieryen,ion (armed or pa-

whom could not consistently stand by and
allow Russia so greatly 10 increase its
already gigantic power by the absorption
Of the Turkish Empire, the country itself
is not entirely devoid Of means Of pro-
lection.
The London Times, in a late article
upon the Russian question, says. that al.
though il dnes mol entertain a very lofty
opinion Of The military resources of Tur-
key, il would be an error to estimate them
no higher than they were during the CAM
paigns of 1928 aud 1929:
"Al ,ba, PERIOD" says the Times, "tho

at Navarino, and Admiral Greigh was
complete master Of the Black Sea. The
reforms ofthe Turkish army were in their
infancy, and Egypt contributed little 10

forty ships, Of which oightor ten are three

of which about half are irregulars, who are

The "Times" thinks that tho real ad-

menl, lies in the "diAision Of the European
powers, and especially 10 tho want of
