REyIvAL.--A few weeks ago quarterly
meeting was held at Sheffield Centre and so
much interest manifested that the pastor, Rev.
A. F. BRYANT, of South Ridge, felt encourag-

for some two weeks, and as a result, some
fifteen give evidence Of being hopefully con-

TEACHER's INSTITUTE LECTURE.-The lee
ture before the Teachers Institute on Monday
evening last, by Rev Mr.. MGIFFERT, was an
unwriten one full, of bold, independent
thought, going into the practical detail of the
work of teaching, and criticizing with much
freedom, some of the modes of teaching, MS
well as the routine of study as laid down in
some of the class books in use here and else
where. The lecture was replete with instruc.
ton, and whether all the positions taken fell
upon approving and endorsing ears or not, il
was well calculated to awaken thought and
set the reasoning faculties OF tho teachers in
to action. The points raised will no doubt be
new to IA considerable portion of the c0nyen
tisn, and theirsrefections and observations up
on them, will enable them to reach more intel
ligent and satisfactory conclusions TO guide
them in their work. The audience was large
and Ashtabula Hall well filed. Applause a
the close showed that the lecturer had not full
ed to reach the minds and approval Of hi
hearers.

ENcoURAGINe.-The increase of our sub
scription list is such as to afford not little
encouragement and stmulant to steadier and
more assiduGus effort to please the public and
secure the surest and most substantial evidence
of their endorsement. 1t is q very good way
to exemplify an approval of our labors, for
subscribers to send in their names and ad-
vance pay far another year, but they may
serve us a little further, if they will, by drop
ping a word TO neigh6or about ;he character
of the Telegraph, and thus help him TO the
possession of some OF the same enjoyment and
advantages which its regular perusal brings
to their freside. If our place is to be the rail
road centre of the county, there is no reason
why it should not become the news centre al
so, and that the telegraph should take first
rank among the journals of the county and
neighborhood. For several weeks Utmost ev-
( cry day has witnessed additions TO our list,
and as we approach the close Of the year,
these demonstrations become more and more
noticeable. Come on then, and however press
ing the thing may become, we shall endcavor
| 10 be equal TO the emergency.

THE CONCERT of the High school On
Wednesday evening drew full house and
the entertainment under Prof HAMLIN, was
highly satisfactory. 1t was sufficiently diver
siied to keep up lively interest. There are
some excellent voices among the scholars, and
their attajpments in music is crediable. Sew
eral Duets, solos and quartetts were Of q high
character of execution. Prof. HAMLIN, is at
home in the elements of song, and all his per-
tormances are listened to with wrapt attention.
Prof SPoRNBERGER gave two pieces in Ger
man, in which he sustained himself with true
German taste and effect, bringing down the
house AND yielding to ID call for second ap.
pearance, in one of them Miss LIBBY ANDER-
SON was much admired, and Miss NELLIE
MATHER and several of the young ladies of
the high school performed their parts much
to the pleasure OF the audience. The chorus
cs. however, took the popular feeling and
wtre heartily applauded. 1t, however, seems
invidous to speak of individual ;sscs when all
did SO well. That which brought the highest
pleasure TO us was the thought that such a
general interest has been awakened in the sub
jeet of musc, and the encouragement it af-
fords that its study is to be settled and per-
manent in our public schools Prof. HAMLIN
is doing good work, and We cannot but wish
him the fullest success

and most noted counterfeiters in the State.
This is the fourth or fifth time he has been ar

TIE CUBAN NEWS.

The dispatch from Havana the other day,
announcing that The Captain General had pub
lshed an official account of the landing of
Rafael Quesada's expedition near Guantanamo,
and ts utter defeat by the Spaniard9, bears
internal evidence of falsehood. The spot where
the landing is said to have taken place is near
the eastern extremity of the island, but the
junction of The insurgent and invading forces
is represented as occurring few days after
ward near Puerto Principe where Qresada met
Gomez and Encan. Now, Puerto Principe is
$50 miles from Guantanamo, the roads are
mountainous and extremely difficult and the
expedition had no means Of transportation, Tor
all the mules arc said to have been eaten.
Valmaseda would have been fool to publish
in an official order palpable geographical
absurdity. Moreover, OF the two patriot leaders
whom Quesada found near Puerto Principe,
Gomez has been for some time in possession OF
the country around Guantanamo, and Enclan
(whom the telegraph transforms into Suclan)
operates in the Western Department, as far
from Puerto Principe in one direction az
Guantanamo is in the other. These things are
perfectly well known at Havana and whatever
order the Captain-General may have published,
we do not believe that he has told story
which every one in the Island must perceive
to be qEtrue.
Friends of Cuba in this city have private
information to the effect that the expedition
landed on the River Tana, about 200 miles
west of Guantanamo, and that in m encoun-
ter with the Spauiard5 in the neighborhOod of
Puerto Principe, Quesada gained decided adj
vantage. We have no satisfactory assurance
Of this reported victory, but we put no faith
in the contradictory Spanish dispatches describ-
ing the battle as a disastrous Cuban defeat
In the account published Oh Sunday the Cuban
loss is. represented as g men and "a Gqan-
" THY" of arms and ammunition. A previous
report, evidently referring to the same affair,
declared that the Cubans had 100 men killed,
and the Spaniards only 0. The probability
seems to be that Quesada has established
foothold in the Eastern Department, and dis
tributed the arms with which be came pro-
vided, and thus far at any rate we may re-
gard his expedition as a success

A somewhat significant indication OF the
temper of the Democratic party in the British
Parliament is found in an inquiry propOunded
to the Premier by George Dixon, Member for
Birmingham, who asked if there was any pos
sibility of reduction of the Civil List. The
reply of Gladstone that this was not possible
is natural enough, for, by one of those vene-
rated fctOns by which Great Britain is ruled,
the Civil List fixed upon at the beginning of
q reign is sacred from any ruthless invasiOns
during the monarch's life 1t was established,
when Victoria came to the throne, that the
revenues of the Crown, during her lifetime,
should belong to the Consolidated Fund, but
Civil List was assigned her for the support of
the household, "and of the honor and dignity
"of the Crown" and for other expenses, per-
sonal and of members of the royal household.
This List amounted to f350,0O0 per annum,
and the fercer Liberals are very FESTIVE under
the burden, which is not all, of course, that is
drawn from the resources of the country for
the support of royalty. 1t may seem novel
that Mr.. Gladstone should now throw himself
in the widening breach between the Queen
and portion of her subjects but he very well
knows that no rea! intention to reduce the
Civil List exists in Parliament, though it is
certain that such motion will be made when
the next sovereign succeeds to the British

Encouraging accounts of the Republican
canvass in Mississippi reach us. The search
ing inquiry of the Congress Committee into
the ouuages of Southern Conservatives" has
served to carry dismay into the regions where
intimidation and violence had previously kept
down Republican majOrities. We shall prob
ably see the fruits of this wholesome alarm in
an increased vote at the election i'll Novem-
Der. In North Carolina, the campaign against
the proposed Illegal Amendments to the Con-
stitution is vigorously pressed, and with in
creasng courage. 1t does not seem possible
that the people of that State can hazard so
dangerous an experiment as indOrsing the
plainly unconstitutional action of the North
Carolina Legislature.

The Times continues its compilations from
the County accounts with the moneys paid on
the order of Andrew ]. Garyey. These cover
a space of about fourteen months, from June
10, 1869, to August H. 1870. The work for
which the payments were made purports to
have been done in 1868 and 1860. and to con-
sist of plastering, repairs, alterations, &C., of
the New Courthouse, ArmOries, and County
buildings The total is S2,S70,lG4 &C.
The total paid on warrants Endorsed to
IngersOll g. Co., for furniture, cabinet
work, carpenter work, &c. on the same build
ings, was 35,GG3,6i6 50. If the figures of
The Times be correct, the cost of the New
Court-House, instead of being truly represented
by the outstanding and authorized Court
House bonds, must also enter largely into the
S1250O,0OO of Accumulated Debt bonds, which
were issued in 1869 and 1870 to provide means
for the payment of adjusted claims" against
the City and County. According to Mayor
Halls statements these charges have been con-
sidered as "clams" rather than legitimate
debts to be paid from either the Courthouse
bonds or the current revenues of the County.

A dispatch from Rome gives US a new COM
bination OF rumors concerning the future
movements of the Pope. The gist of all this
is that His Holiness in high dudgcOn, will
illuminate against the doings of the Italian
Government and then retire to some lone
barren isle. The College OF Cardinals is then
to choose successor to the chair of st. Peters,
and the name of the most likely candidate is
even mentioned. To complcate matters, the
COrsican asylum business is again brought
forward as part Of the programme An en-
phatic denial however, of all reports relative
to the Pope's departure from Rome, which
comes TO us, appears to be the most trust
worthy information which we have upon the
subject. and is accordingly commended to the
curious reader

Its breyity and the inconseQuential verdict
rendered will make the COrOners inquest on
the dead rioters, citizens and soldiers appear
insignificant to most of those who will, this
morning, read the evidence But it must be
remembered that the Coroner, very sensibly,
confined himself to establishing the manner of
death, and did not go beyond his province in
a vain effort to place also the responsibility
therefor and the degree of criminality of those
who fred the fatal shots. The manner of
death was easily enough determined. The
evidence was very indirect, but it established
that point clearly enough for the simplest
comprehension There was time when
Tammany, holder than it is now, would
have sought to fix the responsibility Tor the
riot Oh the militia, OF on some political power
but in i:s present state of decentralization 1t is
content to keep On the defensive. This YER
dict is the end Of the terrible tragedy, :: i@adS
to no further action by the legal authorities;
the wounds were inflicted, according to its
finding. by unknown hands, and there is no
one to be prosecuted. But Public Opinion has
already decided where the Responsibility l0r
