ELM LUMBER FOR BOARD FENCES
A writer in the Western Rural says
Boards from white or red elm piled
up closely af.er saving for a month
or six weeks, any time after the
first of April, will lose their sur
plus moisture, and as the tendency
to warp one way will be counter
acted by the same inclination to
shrink the other way, the board
will partially season and come out
straight and make fence stronger
and more durable than pine. If
nailed on Immediately after saving
they usually warp, and twist, and
shrink endways and are hard to
keep on the fence.

The War in Europe.

Cable news has been plenty the
past week, but it is so contradictory
in its statements that it seems al
most impossible to give a clear un-
derstanding of the situation, espe-
cially in view Of the limited space
we have for the purpose. Fighting,
severe and terrible to both armies,
has been almost continuous since
Sunday, the l4th, without any very
important advantage to either side.
On Thursday, however, there was 8
great battle fought Gravelotte, in
which the Prussians were undoubt.
edly victorious. Mr.. HALsrgAD, OF
the Cincinnati Commercial, who was
on the field, sends to his paper the
following dispatch in regard to this
battle:
"LUxEMBURG, August ell was
present at the battle of Gravelotte
on Thursday. The King of Prussia,
Count Bismarck and General Sheri
dan were On the field. 1t was the
third and great battle for the road
from Metz to Paris. The French
aOere outnum5ered and beaten back TO TIE
yal1s of Metz. Tile slaughter on
both sides gas horrible. Iwalked segen
miles over the fields streaOn thick a0ith
dead men and horses. The lines el
battle were marked with dead in
heaps" /" N. Fl.
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1870-08-25
The Situation.

The situation this morning looks
very unfavorsble to the French. On
Thursday the Prussians defeated
them in q battle at Rezonville, which
is a post village of some six hundred
inhabitants, few miles from Metz:
The losses on both sides are repre-
sented as very heavy, but the Prus-
SLAMS were successful, and compelled
the French to retire to Metz. Again
the French tried to break through,
and this time they are forced to with
draw into the Notifications of the
city. After the last three days
severe fighting, the contending armies
are left in positions decidedly unfa-
vorable to he-French. The French
are in and Immediately around Metz.
The Prussians hold the road between
Metz and Verdun, and thus Bazine is
cut off from all communications No
news has been received from him in
Paris since Friday.
Meantime the Prussians have cap
tured Pfalsburg in the Vosges noun
tains, thus rendering safe the Crown
Princes line of communications with
his base of supplies. He has ad-
vanced on toward Chalons, and a
dispatch to the New York Herald
from Carlsruhe announces that on
yesterday he won great battle in
the neighborhood of that city.-Cis
cinmdti Gazette Of Monday.
No fighting since Thursday
We had a report of the capture of
King William, and his staff, by the
French, but ii is not confirmed.

UTIVE COMMITTEE.
Base Ball.

Mr.. NASH
We, in reading the col
umns of your Journal, noticed re-
port of match of Base Ball between
the Wild Cats and Wide Awakes.
Notwithstanding our. defeat by the
Wide Awskes, and their complaining
of their players, or some at least be-
ing absent, we noticed their vacan-
cies well filed by other good players,
one from the Actives, which was bet
ter than some of the absent. Conse-
quently we kindly inform the Mr..
Wide Awake that we labored under
similar circums tances, our best play
ers were absent from the game, and
also, there were two of the others
very much disabled. But the reason
why these two played was in order to
play the 1st nine against them. We
don't wish to slur, or throw any in
situations at all in regard to our
games, but as a newly organized
club, we ask an impartial represen-
tation. Neither did we fairly decide
to play the Actives. We did say if
the Actives would challenge US, we
would meet them On their grounds.
We finally decided 10 play the Wide
Awakes, if they would challenge us,
and meet them also on their grounds,
but they have not challenged us as
yet. AS we have already said we
wish no insinuations whatever, but a
fair chance is all we want, and no
misrepresentation about the game
at all.
Yours truly,
WILD CAT.

The necessity and value of such
an organization in our county, must
be apparent to every member of the
Order, and therefore needs no en-
comiums to secure it the respect and
approval of all Good Templars.
Let us, Good Templars of Gallia
county, turn out on the 9th, with
some show of zealousness for the
cause, and perfect an organization
that will reflect credit to ourselves
and our efforts.
We hope that every Lodge in the
county viii be present, and assist
in forming this Lodge. Col. G. A.
Frambes, G. W. T. and State lee
turer will be with us, and we NAV
expect something rich and full of
interest. Do not forget the day and
time.
