OUR Town COMMISSIONERS are certainly
disposed to stand upon the platform upon
which they were elected By
reference to our locals it will be seen that steps
have been taken looking to the erection of a
Town Hall, and other matters of improvement
put on foot. But for the Methodist Church,
the Odd Fellows the leading benevolent insti-
tuition of our town, would have been deprived
OF proper observance of the half-century eel
ebrafion, the other day. A religious denomi-
nation is desirous of forming a congregation
In our town, but has no place to hold services.
And thus things are constantly tran>piring in a
town the size of Smyrna which demand place
OF meeting for public assemblages. We hope
the Commissioners can effect negotiations for
the erection of Hall.

CUBA.-According to the latest correspon-
dcnoc from Washington the cause of the insur-
gents in Cuba does not seem to be growing in
strength with the Administration 1t has come
to the knowledge of the President, through
the agents of the insurgents in Washington and
in New York. that their only hope of success
Is in obtaining material aid from the United
States Government. 1t is asserted, on pretty
high authority, that unless such aid is render
ed, the insurgents will not be able to hold out
more than 60 days. This fact is also in the
possession of not only the Spanish Minister,
but the English and French Ministers 1t can
be stated, on the authority of the President
and Secretary Of State, that it is not the inten-
tiOn of our Government to interfere in the af-
fairs of that Island beyond the protection of
our citizens and their property.

A BOYS Composition About sheep.

A sheep is about as big as dog, though
they are better than dogs, cause dogs kill
sheep, but sheep don't kill dogs, except
once when a man wanted to break his dog
of sheep killing, and so held him and let
an old sheep butt him till he broke his
bones into little fine pieces, about as big
as a piece of tooth and so that was the
way that dog got broke ; and [ guess he
wished he had learned some other business
besides butchering-don't you There
are mostly two kinds of sheep, ewes and
rams. The rams have few horns. There
are principally several kinds of rams also.
There is the battering ram that they had
in the old time to knock on the gates OF
cities when they wanted 10 come in. Then
there's the ram that they ram down guns
with. I wish had gun, and the hydrau-
lie ram they ram up water with. Sometimes
when they wanted TO knock down folks
walls in the Bible, they have whole rams
enough to batter them down, and they
had to take rams horns and blow them
down. That they did with the walls OF
Jerry Coe. do not know whether he was
any relation to the phosphate OF lime man
or not. There is two kinds OF sheep, the
South Down, that they have down South,
and the Merino, which is the Spanish for
marine, cause they come over the sea-
They keep the sheep for their mutton.
which is good when they can't get turkey,
though generally they jump out and run
away, so that they can't keep them.
The way to make them jump Is to. tie old

barrel slaves to their legs for letters. The
letters scare them, and they Jump to get
away from 'em. Sheep are troubled with
wool growing all over them, and so in hot
weather they cut il off to keep them cool.
suppose they would have to cut it off at
any rate to get at the mutton. They spin
up the wool into stockings upon Lambs
knitting machine, though sometimes the
grandmothers knit them with needles,
which think is the best way, because il
keeps them quiet, and they won't bother
us boys SO much. When sheep jnnp aud
run one always follows the rest. I mean
the rest ali follow one. If the leader should
jump througba keyhole, or over the moon,
the rest would follow, which think is very
bright in the sheep and in other folks who
always follow the leader; of course the
leader is always right Lambs are kept
for their inno. ence. which l should not
think would pay, though they gambol all
the time, which ISM SO innocent either,
though | suppose they are the black leg
lambs. forgot to mention that there is a
kind of sheep called goats which when you
put UP at nights have to be separate from
the real sheep-the sheep on the right and
the goats on the left. / don't know as I
know any more about sheep, though cousin
Dad does, cause he keeps sheep, and he's
got 'em SO they jump first rate too.

A Sad Accident.


New YORK, July 31.-About dusk last
evening, whole family, consisting of a
man and his wife, two daughters abont Is
and II years of age, and two little children
were observed rowing up the North river
in small boat. When opposite Bulls
ferry, the boat capsiHed, and the whole ap-
peared to be thrown into the water Two
men Immediately went out to their rescue,
but before they could reach the party the
man and woman and the two eldest daugh-
ters sunk
The two little ones, however, were found
in the boat, which had righted. but which
was half full of water They were rescued
and brought in safe TO shore. Both were
too young to give their names. The men
who "escued them were unable to ascertain
the names of the family. One little girl
could only say mamma and "papa." -
They were safely cared for, and efforts are
being made this morning to find out their
names. 1t is reported that the parties re-
side on the brow of the hill at the upper
end of West Hoboken, and that the hus-
band is a druggist, doing business in
Brooklyn.

The Canadian Scare.

The Montreal News says
1--WE understand, on good authority,
that secret effort has lately been made on
the part of certain Fenian leaders to in
duce the 70 rank and file of that organiza-
tion to again venture upon raid into Can
ada. A portion of them were to have been
first sent into the country by twos and
,threes, and meeting by appointment at
certain points in some of the larger towns
of Ontario. to try and do little in the way
of incendiarism and assassination. while a
formidable armed force crossed the border.
The whole plan. we are informed, was made
known to Mr.. Thornton, who at once COM
munieated with the Dominion authorities.
We do not believe there is much ground
for anticipating another Fenian raid, but
it is gratifying to know that the plans OF
these miscreants are known to our govern
ment almost as soon as they are laid.

General Grant a Radical.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Among the visi
tors ut the White House to-day was gen.
tleman who in conversation with the Presi-
dent, preached the subject of politics in
Mississippi and the Dent movement in that
State. The President was reminded of the
conflicting reports in relation to his feel
ings and views upon that question, and
that it was asserted that he had already
given his adhesion to Judge Dent. The
President replied to his visitor (who is my
informant) substantially that the patronage
of the Administration would not be cast in
favor of Judge Dent, as the party that
supported him was believed to be mimi
cal to the Republican party of the country.
In the course of conversation the Presi-
dent took occasion to express regret that
so many good Republicans were found act
ing with men who he believed failed to give
genuine and hearty support to the Re-
publican party and the measures of the
Administration. He does not believe there
Is any issue in Mississippi which should
cause division in the Republican ranks
IN that State, and as between the party
supporting Judge Dent and his opponents
he favOrs the latter as being the true rep
resentatives of the principles of his admin
lStration
The President also talked very freely
upon Virginia politics. He seems salts
ned with Colonel Walkers election, and
mas confidence In his integrity. He thinks,
also, there is fair prospect of the union
OF the Wells and Walker elements, and has
no doubt of the thorough reconstruction
OF the State. 1t is inferred from what was
SAID that the Administration is on the side
OF Stokes In Tennessee and Davis in Texas,
and that when Secretary Boutwell, wrote
the letter to Stokes, which has been SO
much commented on, he simply reflected
the views of the Administration.
