Declaration Of WAR.

The Turkish Declaration OF War is
an able snd temperate document, and
throws the whole responsibility Of the
war upon Russia, where it most right
fully belongs. AS before reported, the
Sultan demands the evacuation OF the
Danubian Provinces in fifteen days from
the time of the declaration, which is a
matter of form. The Russian agents are
commanded TO quit the Turkish terri
tory, and the commercial relations be-
tween the two nations are at an end
Russian vessels in Turkish ports will
not be seized, but are warned to depart
for the Black sea or the Mediterranean.
The Straits are to be kept open to the
vessels of all neutral powers The fact
Of the war may thus be considered set
tied. The prospect is, that it will be
long and bloody. The Turks fight for
their own existence, the Russians for
the humiliation Of their enemies. Both
nations are warlike and powerful. Our
sympathies are with the Turks, and we
ardently hope they will not only be able
to defend themselves, but will effectually
humble Russia, with whom pride and
selfshness have become to be madness.

What amount Of breadstufs aoiH sup
ply the European deficiency ?-The cal
culation among the British corn dealers
is, that, after consuming the produce of
the presen. harvest, Great Britain will
require an importation Of $4,000 quar-
tiers of grain of all kinds, that is 10000
900 quarters of wheat, ESQ 1000, 00Obush-
els, and -four and 100000 quarters
of barley, oats, Indian corn and rye
The spectators are calculating that
Canada will send England at least q
100000 quarters of wheat and -four
and that the United States will supply
about 100000, 100000 of bush
els of quarters. Doubts have been en-.
tertained whether sufficient amount OF
shipping could be procured during the
year to bring 100000 quarters OF
grain, supposing that SO much should be
required but the best informed mer.
chants of England do not think any diff
iculty win found in this respect. The

a5We are requested to give notice
that the District School for Lancaster
will commence On next MONDAY, the 18th
inst. We know not what arrangements
are made, only that Mr.. GooDRrcH is to
teach the school. There ought to be an
assistant. Only think of pennipg up
100 poor defenceless children in a room
of that size ! The people ought to go to
work s2d have the district divided, or
withdraw half their children and put
them under instruction elsewhere. The
voluntary feeding of children upon dis
ease and doctor stuff, consequent upon
sending to school there, is too palpable
to be either tolerated or excused, among
people pretending to knowledge of
the simplest laws of health.

WORK can be conveniently done in the

This puts the question at rest, wheth-
1t is intended to build the road or not.
we consider it a fixed fact that the road
will be built. It may not be pushed for
ward, at present, as fast as it would be,
| if the money market was as easy as one
year ago; but, it will keep going I'M
til the ''iron horse" is seen at Monroe.
Let every man, who can, take share
Of stock, and help forward the work.
AS soon as the road is completed to this
place, it will begin to pay fair dividend
which will aid in its further construc-
ton, and when built, there will be
better paying road in the State, if in the
United States, in our opinion. Nobettel

Temperance i'm Vermont.

It will be seen by the following that
the friends Prohibition in Vermont take
the initiative in proposing such amend
ments to their present stringent Liquor
Law as they deem calculated to obviate
the most plausible objections to its main
tenance. Walion's Daily Joornai( Mont
peliar) says:
THE LraUoR LAw.-The first bill in
the House was introduced by Mr.. Page.
of Rutland, well known friend of the
Liquor Law ano as matter OF course
we presume that the amendment which
| he has proposed will be regarded with
much interest by all parties, indicating
as this bill does, that staunch friends OF
the law are ready to concede amend
ments which will obviate reasonable OBJ
jections, without infringing upon the
great purpose of the law, and without
inpairing its efficiency. We shall there
fore publish the bill at our earliest con-
venience.
For the present, we remark that the
objection, that the words ssgave away .
in the present law, make it penal to give
for really useful or harmless purposes.
is obviated by different construction OF
the words-a construction that forbids
any indirect sale, or any giving away fol
1 the purposes of intoxication, or where
! any degree of intoxication ensues. The
Injection growing out of the destruction
t the liquor seized is obviated by for.
fitting the liquor, to be sold for the use
oiNhe towns, except such liquor as is a
duierated, or otherwise unfit fer chem
icalAmedicinal or mechanical uses, which
is tobe destroy ed. The cider clause il
0 repeded, with proviso which excludes
!, its sah in taverns, stores, groceries ant
/, other PAGES of public resort.
The Gllrequires bonds of the towl
agents, ffr the security of the towns
and alsofequires the Commissioners t.
appoint own agents, whenever the Sc
v lectmen lequire. One provision, whicl
r throws tie burden of proof on the de
fendent, 5 repealed, and another substi
tuted Of aprepber character. So, also
. as to the PROVISION which provides tina
t the delenent may be convicted as com
: mon selleL although not charged wit
: that Offence. The right of Trial by Ju
ry is also secured, and minor defects ar
avoided.
On the whole, the bill. we think, wi
: commend iself to favorable considera
ton.

AMERICAN RA1LRoADs-Their supe-
riority. An American who recently had
large experience in travelling in Eu-
rope, says:
There are no roads in England better
managed than the "Hudson River" or
the eAlbany and Buffalo lines, and none
which make more equal time, on the
same length Of road In this, too | was
disappointed; for | had been told differ
emily, and so looked for 'slightning'
speed. The best time made in England
is on the London and liverpool, distance
2lO miles, in five hours and fifty min
utes, fraction over 35 miles per hour.
Both here and in England they adhere
to the old form of coach cars. The first
class of these are very comfortable, but
very lonely and stupid, unless with a
party, and the second class are as un-
comfortable as hard boards and crowded
seats can make them while their third
class are inferior to the cattle cars on
the Erie road, and the passengers are
treated accordingly. Tickets - the
collector sings out rudely to those in
the third. "Tickets, gentleman" in
milder tone to those in the second
and "fickets if you please" to those
in the first class cars, in the blandest
manner possible.
