New Thing In Fencing.

Phine as J.. Sherman, Gcncsco town.
ship, has taken out patent on new
wrinkle IN fencing. Hc takes an oh
long piece of iron and makes a mol.
in each end, at right angles to each
other, or bends piece Of wire with
two holes bearing like relations to
each other. Through one of these
holes lie inserts screw and fastens
the iron or wire to tree OF post, and
through the other hole runs the wire
of which he makes his fence. When
tho tree has grown 80 as to threaten
to overgrow the screw he draws tho
screw out Of danger, SO continuing,
no matter how large the tree may
grow. This he considers good idea,
many Of his neighbors agree with
him, many strangers, also, to whom he
has shown the model give testimony
of its value. Mr.. Sherman will soon
DO prepared to PIT his new pate.t on
the market. He may be addressed

History Of the War In Europe.

The recent war between Germany and
France aroused so much interest Oh the part
of our people. that it was generally suppos-
ed at the time, that the earliest and be.t
history Of that great struggle would be from
the pen Of IN American author. The Nation
al Publishing Company, Of Chicago, Ill. has
just issued very complete and valusble
history, bearing the above title. 1t il from
the pen Of Mr.. James d. McCabe, Jr., ard
is handsomely bound volume of 500 octa-
vo pages, illustrated with $50 maps, por-
traits, battle scenes, views Of prominent 10.
calit,ess etc. 1t is written in bold, vigor>
GUS style. and will, unquestionably, take
rank ~ the standard history Of the struggle
by an American writer.
Mr.. McCabe, has evidently studied his
subject deeply, for he writes as an historian
aud not as politician, as one who places
facts on record for the verdicts Of future
ages, and not as one who seeks to win the
favor Of either the Germans or French Of
to-day. The great charm OF the work 10
its impartiality, its absolute fidelity to the
truth. His book fascinates while it instructs,
for it tells in graphic and eloquent language
the most wonderful story of modern times.
He traces the causes Of the war from its or.
igin down to the beginning Of hostilities !,
sets forth the diplomatic history Of the pre-
lude 10 the war, and states forcibly and in
detail the causes Of the triumph of Germany
and the failure of France. The narrative Of
the great battles which opened the campaign
and hurled the French back upon the int
ror of their own country; the effect of these
rcverses upon the French Nation; the fran
tic efforts to rescue ths beaten army, and
the terrible disaster Of Sedan; the capture
of the Emperor Napoleon and an entire ar
my the Revolution in Paris the rise and
formation Of Republic; the flight OF the
Empress from Paris; the Siege and surs
render Of Strasburg and the frontier fort
resses Of France, the triumphal advance Of
the German armies to Paris; the sieges Of
Metz and Paris in detail; full diary Of
events in Paris during the Siege; the cam
paigns on the Loire, and in other parts Of
France; The peace negotiations; the sur
render of Paris and the treaty; the naval
history Of the war; the history Of the forms
alton Of the Great German Empire; the
proclaiming of King William Emperor, and
the realization Of German unity; the civil
war and the second siege Of Paris, with its
terrible scenes Of blsodshed and vandalis 81;
all these and other events Of the war are
related with graphicness and brilliancy
which render Ibis work Of unusual value.
The author goes deep into the philosophy Of
the war, and impresses his reader profound
~ with the great lessons Of the conflict
The low price at which the book Is issued
brings it within the reach of all, and NO
one wishing to keep abreast Of the times,
should fail 10 read it. 1t is published in
both English ard German, and sold by eub>
scription only, and agents are wanted In
every county.

it ready for last weeks REPUBLICAN,
but that the good people of the coun-

that the celebration was success, l

Der of people was on the grounds"
than was ever seen at this place be-
fore. Fhc number was variously es-
timated, bur no estimate was less than
two thousand. The common schools
OF this place and sub district number
seven were there in a body, each hav-
ing banner on which was inscribed
an appropriate motto. Their prcsense
added much to the interest of the CO.
casion. The services of the excellent
Brass Band of this place were secur.
cd for the day, and the music dis
coursed by it was very enlivening.
Col. B. w. Wilson, President of
the day, called the assembly to order
and the exercises were commenced
by a song by the Glee Club, followed
by prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. c.
Coltrin, OF this place. Another Song
by the Glee Club, after which the
Declaration of Independence was
read by w. +. Roberts. Another
song, and then we listened to an able
Grafton delivered by Major S. Free,
of Toledo. The exercises Of the at.
tcrnoon consisted of Music, short
Speeches, Toasts and Responses, and
closed by a grand parade Of the Cal
athumpians, who made considerable
sport for the fun loving portion OF the
crowd. The day passed without any
disturbance. whatever ard everybody
appeared TO enjoy themselves, and
expressed themselves well satisfied
with the days doings. PEN1oN.

invariably with salutary effect. The hund.
reds of testimonials from the most promin>

constantly increasing demand for it, proves
the estimation in which it is held. This is
not surprising, as the philosophy of its ac-
