SUNDAY BATTLES Some one who has
been looking up English history, has pre-
pared the following HIST of battles fought
on Sunday:
IN the wars OF York and Lancaster the
battles OF TowtOn aud Barnet were fought,
the one on Palm Sunday, the other on
Easter Sunday. Ia the wars Of the Stuarts
wo have the battle of Edgebill and The later
one of Sheriffmuir, besides one or two
smaller actions coming off on Sunday. The
Duke of Marlborough gained the great
victory of Families on Whit Sunday, aud
Almanac, one Of the few decisive battles
that English armies have ever lost, was
fought on Easter Sunday. The battle of
Val of Laffeld, near Maestricht, was fought
on Sunday, the I'd of July, 1857. The Pc
nnsuIa was fruitful of Sunday lighting.
Tho second battle IN Portugal, that 10 VII
miere, was fought on Sunday, August 3lst,
1903. The battle or Fuentes donor was
gained on Sunday, May 5th. 1911. On
Sunday evening, Juanuary 18th, 1872, Lord
Wellington. issued the brief but determined
order that "Cuidad Roderigo must be car
ried by assault this evening at o'clock"
Tho battle of Orthes was fought on Sunday,
the eth Of February, 1914, aud that OF
Toulouse, the last general action Of the
PenInsular war. occurred on Easter Sunday
tho 10th Of April following. The battle OF
Waterloo was also decided on Sunday. the
18th of June, 1916. The secoUd Burmese
war afforded TWO examples. Easter Sunday,
tho llth Of April, 1852, the attack on the
lines of defense at Rangoon, and the attack
and capture of Pegu, on Sunday. the 2lst
November, 1852. The victory Of Inkerman
was achieved on Sunday. the 9th OF NOvem-
Der, 1854. And IL was Sunday, the goth of
May, 1851, that the terrible Indian mutiny
broke out at Meerut.
Most of the actions mentioned above
wero attended with very severe losses on
both sides, and perhaps they may be looked
upon, as u class, as having been peculiarly
bloody.

SECRET UNION 0RGANIzATToN.-Th St.
Louis correspondent Of the Sacramento
Bee, in his letter OF Sept. Gath. says:
There has recently been established In
this city secret order, which has for its
object the support of the Constitution Of the
United States, and the maintenance, at all
hazards, Of the Federal Union under 1t. It
Is sort of offset to the Knights Of the Col
den Circle, aud originated, as am inform.
ed, In the Kentucky Legislature. Branches
OF the organization are now In exstance in
all the States of the South, except South
Carolina and Mississippi. In North Caroli-
mia, 1t is said, the number is more than half
tho entire voting population Of the State.
Kentucky has nearly one hundred and ten
thousand members, aud although II has been
but little more than two weeks since the
lrst club or lodge. or whatever they call Il,
was tirst organized here, 1t Is said that up.
wards Of ten thousand have already come
forward aud sworn to support, protect and
defend the Constitution aud Union of these
States, without any equivocation or mental
reservation whatever; any law or ordinance
OF any State Legislature or Convention to
the contrary Notwithstanding. / am not
aware that the organization has any exist
ance in any Of the Northern or free States,
II Is not necessary, for there is no purpose
It could accomplish. Knowing it originated
in Kentucky, and knowing its numbers in
that State, the steadfast loyalty Of her peo-
plo In the midst of treason, in nearly all the
slave States, is not 80 astonishing.

Romance of Life,

A young man, now in Company I, Cant.
Steele, Wade and Hutchins' Cavalry, was
enlisted under the name of John Gruff in
Medina county. He knew nothing Of his
parentage, but some years since was taken
from the Medina county Ponr House at
Westfield by Mr. Briggs Of that town, af:
forwards lived with Mr.. Dean, remaining
with the latter person fve years. lie is now
nineteen years fage. If
On Sunday last Gruff was roaming near
the Oak Grove House on the Heights and
n slumbering, indefinite, dreamy memory
was excited, as it of former familiarity will,
the location. The name of Trou.ka came
TO his-brnin, why and how, he could not tell,
but a flash of home and of parents came u,,
and instigated an enquiry for family OF
the name Of Touska, and he found one
WHICH had lived there for some years, bu,
neither man nor woman could speak English,
and Gruff could speak no Gcrlnan. Al in.
terpreter, however, was found, and the long
and short OF the matter was the old people
found in Gruff son lost or stolen when ten
years OF age. The imagination can give the
scene Of recognition, but the parents had
their child as dead and yet he had
for all that time been within thirty miles of
them. How John Gruff got his name, and
where, he does not know. Il Cleveland Her

THE EI,ECTION-

The election IN this county is over, and
when we look over the field--the odds
against us, and the means resorted to by
the opposition, we have certainly made a
glorious triumph. last fall there was
majority against us Of over 1900 in the coun-
ty. The leaders who controlled that ma
jority have labored as they have never la-
bored before. they have circulated all man
ner Of lies and misrepresentation over the
county for the purpose of accomplishing
their success. they have, by contributions,
kept up paper to do their dirty work for
them, they have employed mon to 20 over
the county pcddling slanders,- s,--they have
contributed money without stint, they chal-
lepged the votes of volunteers, on the
day of the election they gave away more
whisky in this Township than was ever used
before in any election ever held in the Town
ship. And after all this effort, after all this
free distribution Of whisky, they have been
beaten,--for, disguise it as they may, they
would willingly have lost every man on their
ticket if they could have elected their man
Parker and defeated w. s. Kennon for
Representative.
We have achieved great triumph. We
have overcome 1900 majority,--we have
succeeded, in spite Of our loss by volunteers
and their whisky arguments, in electing our
Representatives, and we will not quarrel
about their holding lille ,ohils longer the
offices of Coroner, Poor House Director,
&c, which they have succeeded in electing
only because We have in the field instead of|
in the county 400 of our voters.
When these men were lying rs to what
we had said on the subject of our volunteers,
our friends in Camp Dennison, where tho
10th Regiment was in Camp, took the vote
OF the men there on our county ticket, and
the following is tho result, None were al
lowed to vote, except those who would be
entitled to vote if at home:
