KENNERvILLE REPUBLICANs.-The War
moth Republican Club, of Kennerville, met
on Thursday last, Endorsed the proceedings
of the late State Convention, and pledged
itself to cordial, earnest and unfaltering
support of the men chosen as the standard
bearers of the Republican party in the cleo
ton to be held on the first Monday in No
yember next.
General l.. A. Sheldon, the candidate for
Congress from the Second Congressional
District, was warmly eulogized as an able
and faithful representative, and the Repub-
icans of Kennerville will, doubtless, do their
duty in the work of securing his election.
A committee was appointed to have a
building erected that will answer as a place
for church service, school-house, and club
meetings; and, as an earnest that the work is
to be performed, Major Louis E. Granger
was elected one of the trustees of the
church. IL
Our Democratic friends can not now say,
truthfully, that Kennerville is not looking
up, and as the spread of the Gospel and Re
publicanism must have their beneficial eff
fects, there is hope for every Democeat who
is willing to take the anxious seat" and re-
nounce his evil ways.

when Mr.. Rothe, leading editor OF the

inc a great victory for France at Metz. This
bulletin gave particulars of how, in a gen

DEATH ERoM VIoLENCE.-At twelve
o'clock Thursday night, Celeste West, col
ored woman residing on Second street, be-
tween Liberty and st. David streets, was
delivered of a stillborn child. Coroner
Roche was summoned and held an inquest,
and the jury returned a verdict OF death
from violence to the mother at the hands OF
Henry Weber and a man named Hamilton,
on the tenth of August. 1t appears that
both Weber and Hamilton had beaten the
woman, and that Weber had beaten her
about the abdomen and killed the child in
her womb by heavy blow.
Both Weber and Hamilton have run
away, and can not as yet be found. Weber
keeps small grocery on the corner Of Lib
erty and First streets. and Hamilton is well
known as a vendor Of ice cream.

WASHINGTON, August l6.-The transla-
ton of Commissioner Wilson's Land Office
report into the Swedish language, and the
printing of the same by government, does
not appear to be rejecting much credit
upon the United States abroad. On May ,
Mr.. Fish sent a copy of the following
dispatch from our Consulate at Stockholm,
to Secretary Orr, for his information:
Omitted States Consulate, Stockholm,
April Is, 1S70-Sir: have the honor to ae-
knowledge the receipt of six packages con-
tanning the Land Office reports for the year
1867, each parcel of fifty copies.
Three of the packages were addressed
to the Legation and three to me. At the
request of General Andrews l am, however,
distributing them all; but beg leave to in
form the department that the translation
into Swedish is an exceedingly bad one.
The translator may possibly have been a
Swede, but then an uneducated one, VINO
neither knew the language sufficiently nor
| understood the subject he had III hand
! ':This. together with numerous printing
errors, makes the book almost unreadable
among that class of people here 1t would
particularly beneft-those farmers who
| contemplate emigrating and locating them
selves upon public lands. The very title
! upon Une cover ol the oooh is ulhloii-i'iN

Il would therefore, respectfully propose
if any more of those reports are to be trans
lated into Swedish language, and no SUIT
able person to do it can be found ia the
United States, to send copy over here toi
translation, and perhaps for printing also
am sure the expense will by no means be
greater than if it is done in the United
States"
