WAR NEWS.

The latest news concerning the An
giico- Russian difficulty Indicates g con-
tinuation of peace. Eussia is obstinate
in her demands for a revision of the
treaty of 1856, and England, though she
threatens war upon the first overt act of
violation, hopes to Keep out of trouble,
until general Congress of European
Natio can be had when Russia's de-
mands can be granted without compro-
missing the ignity of England. Prussia
has offered her mediation, but it is not
known upon what grounds she proposes
a settlement.
A GREAT FRENCH VICTORY
Is reported by dispatch to the New
York World.
LONDON, November pa correspond
ent at Tours, under date of the 26tl

victory was won, yesterday, near Ven
dome. The battle began at O'Clock in
the afternoon, when the Prussians at
tempted to turn the left flank of Gen.
Paladines' forces, posted along the Char
tres & Vendome Railroad, under Gen.
Garnett. The Prussians were repulsed,
suffering great loss, and pursued until
9P. NJ. Tney retreated toward Chateau
Dun. Two guns were captured.
Heavy fighting is expected soon

Raitrond Matters.

1t will be seen by reference to articles
which we copy this week from the Bel
mont papers, that an earnest effort is to
be made to secure the construction OF
the Belmont and Toledo Railroad,
which is chartered to extend from Bel
laire to Uhrichsville and Dennison, and
northward to Toledo. The prospects for
the construction of this road look en-
couraging. With such proposition as
the incorporators { f this road have re-
ceised from the Lake Shore r. r.. Com
pany the prospect can and should be a
complete success. And the parties in
ferested in the proposed Wheeling,
Hopedale, & Lake Shore Railroad are
also working with commendable zeal
and energy, and the prospects for the
building of this road are to be regarded
as fiattering. We are incline to the
opinion that one. and only one, of these
proposed routes will he built. Which it
will be, remains to be determined. 1t
dep ends great deal upon the energy,
iiberality, and encouragement of the
people along the routes. We also believe
the Lake Shore II. r. will make good
its proposition to equip and operate with
corporations which shall succeed in Sc
curing the right of way and sufficient
means to prepare the road for the iron
and rolling stock. Push on the work,
friends. One of these railroads is great

EDUCATION

THE following short essay was read at
a teachers meeting by Miss Adams, OF
1.-The Primary Department, st. Clairsville
SCHOOLS. It is upon a subject too much
neglected for many years. but whose
claims are now being recognized by all
who believe that it is of.great impor
lance, in any undertai ing 10 start well /:
"What "a child should be taught the
liIst year ofschool life."
Well, that depends partly upon its
age. Some children are sent to school
at such an extremely early age that
many studies would not be advisable.
Again, some children are advanced in
years when they first enter school, and
are ignorant of almost everything they
ought to know. To them, time is prec-
ious, every moment ought to be i'm
proved. To the latter, would place rlu
limit only requiring that, whether
much or little, the less ns should be
well learned.
Among the first things 1 would teach a
child in The much abused alphabet. Not
of course in the old fashioned way we
hear and read so much about. But in
some form or other, L would give les
son in it every day until it is so thor
oughly mastered that no length of time
should make it possible for it TO be for
gotten.
There are pleasant ways OF teaching
even the alphabet. Then besides spell
ing and reading L would have every
child taught to print. 1t keeps them
happily employed, and is u great assist
lance to them in learning to read. The
script hand should also be taught aftera
child has learned to read, not before,
except in the case of those scholars
whose time as L said before, is precious
and limited. Writing numbers, easy
drawing lessons, and the rudiments OF
singing make sufficient studies for the
child the first year of school. But there
is great deal outside of books that q
child should be taught. The eye should
.oe educated-ideas developed, memory
strengthened. Then children should be
tau ght n proper reverence for the
school and teachers, to fair and hon

We object to idle predictions with re.
gard to Railroad projects or anything
else. So faras the meeting at Flushing
on Friday last meant anything we feel
like saying that the prospects OF the
Belmont & Toledo Road are much better
now t an ever before. Many men in
aud around st. Clairsville are becoming
deeply interested in it, that only laugh
cd at the idea last Spring. Only one
thing is in the way of the Flushing peo-
pie doing their part of the work, and
that is the pike trouble. We hope this
will not deter them from earnest work
in canvassing that township, and with
a railroad in operation the pike will be-
come secondary consideration. Every
body was pleasantly surprised. TO see
Col. Sullivan of Baltimore present at
the meeting. He is interested in the
building of the road and our citizens
may expect some valuable aid from him
as one of committee appointed TO con-
suit other companies with regard TO this
route. If we could only secure tie a.d
of some of the Hopedale route agenls
TO calculate our subscriptions We will lie
abe to foot up "a million and II haif OF
stock by the 22nd of February. The
Central Ohio was built under less favor
able circumstances than belong to the
movement and it only requires an ordi-
nary amount of energy 10 push this
road TO successful completion within
less than .wo years.

On Saturday night last the drugstore

Trimmer of this place was entered by
burglars, and DR.. Conner's pockets ri
fled of a fine American watch and bis
pocket book containing about 81 800 in

into the drug store, where they drank
one bottle of port wine, and carried of
five others.
They next entered the house of John

dressing bureau belonging to Mrs. st.
Clair, where they found some three dol
lars in money.
Beginning to feel hungry they next
visited the cellar kitchen of DIR. Draper,
where they set the table, and helped
themselves to a good square meal of the
Doctors pies, cakes, &c. which they
seem to have relished, as they left the

about through this country, regardless

The Gazette of last week devotes

dent, besides several additional articles
to his abuse. In lookingover these ad-
monitory notices, we were reminded oi
Col. Dyer, who metlMartin Chuzzlewit
on the wharf at New York. and inquir-
ed of him what effect his editorials
written by Jefferson B:ick) had upon
the English Parliament, and Ii the
Queen didn't feel her throne totterw when

chance, fall into his hands He can well
say as did Oliver Wendell Holmes IN

is what causes the writhing aHd groan-
ing of his opponents He proposed TO
have a fair election in New York, and
he took measures TO stop the casting Of
80 900 illegal votes in that sink-hole of
political corruption. Gen. Grant wants
to pay off the National Debt, and he
does it at the rate of from So 900, 900 to
$40, ,OOO, 900 per month without paying
attention to Democratic advice. He
knows Gen. Cox to be good man, but
he understands human nature well
enough to know that Gen. Cox is not
the only good man in the country. He
is not accustomed to coaxing meT TO fill
Office, and if the people will wait little
while and not be too rash in their judg-
ment Of acts, they will be little better
prepared to understand why Motley was
recalled, and why Gen. Grant did not
coax Cox to remain. President Grant Is
not the man to swing off at the beck OF
every bottle-holder in the country. He
promises to straighten up affairs in
Kentucky, and it will be done. How
ever, he might be induced to change
his course If he could see the Gazette

The mixture is 20 be moistened with wa

cement does not peel off or break away,
and assumes an extreanfdegree of hard

made. The same substance may be used
in setting the plates of stove, or in fit
