China Locals.
The hay crop is very abundant and Of excellent
quality; the pas, two weeks Of hot dry weather
has been well improved and large share Of the
crop is now housed in good shape.
As consequence of the hot and dry weather,
the berry crop. which promised so well in the ear
iier part of the season, is coming in light and of
poor quality.
The Cheese Factory is receiving upwards
of a ton of milk daily and the beautiful cheese are
goodly to look upon. They will soon be upon the
market
We are glad to welcome upon the street, after
an illness of about three months, our genial friend
jeremiah Mitchell, Esq. Mr.. Mitchell has hosts
of friends who are glad to see him around once
more, "as sure as you live" Those expecting to
see him about in connection with his marble bust
ness may thus know why he has not attended to
business lately but he soon will do so
Among the boys who have been away from
China for long while, is Robert Ford, who has
beer in California fer the past eighteen years. but
is now visiting the old home. We are glad to
hear that success has followed his labors in the
land Of gold.
The hot weather is so suggestive Of cooling sea
breezes that our people are naturally anxious to
snuff them. John Hatch and family have left for
Old Orchard, and others will soon follow there
and elsewhere.
We learn from Mr.. Cromwell, the peddler, of a

WHAT THE LONDON TIMES SAYS
OF THE POSITION.

London, July 10. The Times leading editorial
al icle on the Selvian- Turkish conflict, says
The student of the war pursues his inquiries
amid the systematic iabiications of victory"
Nothing is necessary to military success but a
telegrsphc apparatus, some knowledge of the
localities and a ready Imagination. The most dis
turbing Circumstance in the present case is that
both parties have line of telegraph; consequent
" all that comes to us from Belgrade is contra
d,cted fl ION COnstantinople and conversely. When
the two opposing statements appear on the same
day in the same column, the most trusting reader
cannot escape from sensations OF disappointment,
irritation and indifference. We may therefore
confne ourselves to indicating the main results of
the campaign as they appear at the present mo-
ment and the position which the neghboring
States have assune ed or are likely to assume in
consequence.
1t is certain that the original plan of the Ser.
Wan invasion has been disconcerted, aud though
undoubtedly they have fought with the greatest
courage, they can make no real impression on the
main body of the 1u Ks
Granting the Servian claim that General Tcher-
najeti has suffered defeat, that he is still in
advance, and has taken means to assure his com.
munication we still believe that in the end he
will have to fight for the security of the Servian
frontier. lie has but small army, and the
Turks probably even now outnumber him. Taking
into consideration the numerical superiority of
the Turks, the difficulty Of moving in such a
country and the Effectiveness Of General Tcher-
najefi equipment, we must conclude that the war
will continue to fringe the Servian frontier. The
strongest feature of the campaign is the move
ment of the Prince Of Montenegro; he has a
force estimated at 10000, largely composed of
volunteers from other districts. lie boasts of
great successes; that he has beaten the Turks, or
they have rereated before hun; that his men
would have made the ports Of Kick useless to the
Turks if the Austrians had not clos ed it, He
has entered Nevesinji and threatens Mostar, but
he is not cooperating with the Servians, unless
there be something very profound in the plan OF
the campaign. The notion that the Montene-
grins do not count upon the success of their allies
and therefore 90 for what they can get for them
selves, begins to PREVAIL short time will show
the truth OF this. Meantime Greece remains en-
tirely peaceful, and Romanis balances her demands
on the Porte by earnest declarations OF neutral
ity, and viii probably keep quiet as long as she
can.

Modern Women.

1t is a sad commentary upon our boosted civil
cation that the women of our times have degeper-
ated in health and physique until they are literally
race of invalids-pale, nervous, feeble and back
schy, with only here aud there few noble except
ions in the persons of the robust, buxom ladies
characteristic of the sex in days gone by. BY a
very large experience, covering period of years
and embracing the treatment of many IL on, ands
of cases of those ailments peculiar to Women, Dr.
Pierce of the Worlds Dspensary, Buffalo, n. V
has perfected, by the combination of certain veg
etable extracts, natural specific, which does not
extol as a cu,e-all, but one which admirably full
fills singeness of purpose, being most positive
and reliable remedy for those weaknesses and
complaints that aifiict the woman of the present
day. This natural specific compound is called DR..
Pierce Favorite Prescription. The following are
among those diseases in which this wonderful
medicine has worked cures as if by magic and
with certainty never before attained by any med
icines: Weak back, nervous and genei al debility,
falling and other displaceRents of internal organs,
resulting from debility and lack of strength in
natural supports, internal fever, congestion. nfa-
nation and liberation and very many other chronic
diseases incident to women, not proper to mention
here in which, as we'll as in the that have been
enumerated, the Favorite Prescription effects
cures-the marvel of the world. 1t will not do
harm in any state or condition of the system, and
by adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid that
severest of ordeals-the consulting of a family
physician. Favorite Prescription is sold by dealers
in medicine generally. julyl9 teod&wlw

quarters to-day:
Red Cloud Agency, July 10
Via Fort Laramie. \
As indicated in my despatch, l moved by forced
marches to the main northwest trail in Indian
creek in 80 hours. My command made about IS
niles reaching the trail Sunday evening about
o'clock. The trail showed that no large parties
had pa, sed north. At daylight yesterday morn
ing saddled up to move on the trail toward the
agency at the sametim party of seven Indians
were discovered near the command, moving with
the intention of cutting Oft two couriers, who
were approaching Sage Creek. A party was sent
out to cut them OFT, killing one Of them. The
command then moved cut at once after the other
indians seen in this direction, and pursued them,
but they escaped, leaving four lodges and several
hundred pounds of provisions behind.
After securing the country thoroughly in our vi
cinity we moved at once toward the agency. At
a distance of % miles to the northwest of the
agency the Indians broke camp and fled, so that
we did not succeed in catching any of them. The
trail was much worn. The indications that
hundreds Of Indians were driven in by our move
ments. From repeated reports (Which cannot
give in this dcspatch) l was certain of striking
the Cheyennes to accomplish this | marched
hard to get the trail, taking infantry along to
guard the wagons, and to fight if necessary.
The reports received from this point led me to
believe that many of the Sioux warriors were with
the Cheyennes. | am now satisfied that the num-
Der of Indians leaving the agency are exaggerat-
ed in the report and am certain that not hun
bred Indians, or rather ponies, all told, have gone
north ON the main trail 10 the last ten days. The
Cheyennes whom we drove in yesterday, took
refuge on the reservation towards Spotted Tai.
If they leave again think it will be to 90 south,
or As far as the agencies, they seem to be thor
oughly frightened out of their northern trip. Our
appearance on Indian and Hat creeks was COM
plete surprise to the Indians in that vicinity, but
those further on were informed by runners SO that
they got out of the way.
