Mr.. |. l Thompson lost a fine COW
not long since; cause not exactly
known.
a colt belonging to Mr.. Albert
FitzWater, was found on the morn
ing of the 18th inst, fast between two
trees in pasture field on Mr.. l..
ThOmpson's farm. 1t is supposed
that the colt had remained there
from the morning of the 5th. When
released it was almost unable to
stand. 1t is yet in a dangerous con-
dition, there being two deep sores on
either side, caused by rubbing
against the trees, one of which was
a Wild Cherry with very rough bark.
George L. White, Esq, of Ryan's
Glades lost fine tWo-year-old colt
caused by distemper.
On Wednesday last Mr.. I. Thomp-
son hauled part Of the timbers for
the North Branch Bridge. 1t is
hoped that the bridge may soon be
rebuilt.
The farmers of this section are bus

Power.

To accomplish anything power is
requisite, and especially is this true
of medicine. Keller's Roman Lini-
ment is Pain-Destroyer in the
most comprehensive sense of the ex-
preston, banishing every disease of
a painful nature by its wonderfully
penetrating and anodyne properties.
Its control over complaints of an in
t1ammatory nature or those attended
with eXcruciating pain is simply
marvellous, and whenever employed
so certainly beneficial are its effects
that its use is firmly established. Sold
every where for 50 cents bot tie.

followed yesterday. The consterna-
ton of the Turks at the dashing adj
vance of their enemies seems to be
very great throughout the entire
empire.
About midday on Sunday the Or

ed the heights occupied by the
Turks. During this awful climb. in
the face of deadly fire, the Russians
suffered terribly while the Turks,
stubbOrnly defending their position
sustained equal losses. But the onset
was so impetuous that the Turks
could not withstand it, and were
driven headlong over the crest of the
hills toward NicOpoIis, followed by
the Cossacks and detachments of
light infantry.
LONDON, July IS.-A Times cor
respondent telegraphs from Turnu-
Magurelli, July 10Th: IL have visi-
ted the two monitors captured from
the Turks. They can probably be
made ready for action without much
delay. L have also seen the Turks
prisoners who were transported to
Roumanian side of the Danube to-
day. The prisoners are all regulars,
the Bashi BaZouks and Circassians
having left some time ago.
ION the heights commanding
NikoDolis empty cartridge cases ly-
ing in every direction tell of a des-
perate struggle. Thousands of rifles

piled along the road TO the town,

burnt their stores and the principal
buildings of the town last night be-

The Times Vienna correspondent
denies that the passage of the Balkans

GALVESTON, July 13.-The NetcS
has a special from Brownsville
which says: Gen. Devine have had |
Il conference. They had no difficulty
in coming to an agreement in rela-
ton to suppresSing raids. They were
of opinion that they could render the
passage of troops from one side to |
the other unnecessary by discharg-
ing their respective duties.
Gen Canales thinks the publication
of an order of such Importance as
that Of the Secretary of War to Gen

manner necessary to insure peace |

LETTER FROM VOLCANO, W. VA.

VOLCANO, w. VA, July 18th 1877.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN After ma
king a visit Of a few days to Oak
land, your beautiful summer town, |
am taken with the writing mania
and desire to atiliet your weil-con-
Quoted paper with the insertion of
the following "things in general"
First of all, allow me to thank my
Oakland friends very sincerity for the
many evidences Of their long cOntin-
ued kindness bestowed from time to
time, and especially on the occasion
of my recent trip. | feel like saying
with one old, merely changing a
single word, Oakland, "if | forget
thee let my right arm forget its cum
ming and let my tongue cleave to the
roof Of my mouth"
l was glad to notice several i'm
provements in Oakland made during
the past three months, and it is my
opinion that there is a bright and
prosperous future before your rising
town.
Mr.. Editor, you can close your ears
or your eyes, while | write the next
item. 1t is concerning THE REPUB-
LICAN. Oakland can pride herself
on having-all things considered-the
best county Republican paper | have
seen for several years. Every one
should subscribe for it, and heartily
support its earnest and very enter
prising publisher. THE REPUBLICAN
is true to its own standard, waivers
not, and gives forth no uncertain
sound, so that party or no party,
friend or foe, it should be commended
and promoted as well for its honest
and straightforward course as for the
inherent merit of the paper itself. |
wish it well and great prosperity to
its editor, and IN writing this | do
not reflect upon any other party or
paper. But Honor to whom honor
is due"
One sight pleased me in particular
during my visit, viz: the neat and
orderly Temperance procession. Sell
dom have | beheld IA more inspiring
scene than about $50 pledged teeto-
talers in grand parade on the ever
memorable 4th Of July. What may
Oakland not expect from her next
generation, under such promising
auspices? May Divine blessing rest
upon your Band of Hope, Sunday
Schools, Churches and Benevolent
organizations, and if ever | can be
ofany service to any of the foregoing,
| am at their disposal provided they
give me seasonahle Untimation, and
my health is better than it was
on the Fourth. | shall ever consider
it a sincere pleasure to help forward
the interests of any branch of Oak
land industry or reform, to the fullest
extent of my power. Now don't
call this "Irish barney"
Volcano is about as it used to be.
Some of my Pensioners here were
thinking l would not return in time
for my Sunday services, SO that our
church was not as well filled on
Sunday as it usually is.
The State Bible Agent was in
waiting for me when | came home.
He occupied our pulpit Sunday and
secured twenty dollars for the Amer
lean Bible Society. Had | known of
his coming | would have gratifed

CANAL AFFAIRS.

1t was the current opinion yester
day that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad strike would help counter
part undertaking of the inland navi-
gators at Sir Johns Run, and would
probably lead to some compromise
between bOatmen and shippers. This
theory seems to be borne out by the
undisputeG fact that yesterday one
of our most extensive boat owners
and large private shippers interview.
ed number of agents with reference
to having all the companies submit
a proposition to the bOatmen offer
ing 50 and 80 cents to Georgetown
and Alexandra respectively also to
unite on request to the canal COM
pany to reduce tolls ) or 10 cents the
said reduction to be given to the
boatmen, thus making the rates to
Georgetown and Alexandria, respec-
lively, 80 and 90 cents, or % cents
and S1.00, according as the canal
company may cOncede a reduction
of ) or 10 cents. The suggestions Of
the gentleman We're generallys well
received by the agents, and by to-
morrow we may be able to chronicle
movement of this Kind taking
practical shape.-CUDt6. -AHeQdltial,

LIGHTNING IN a JAR OF SYRUP.
On Saturday night, Both ult., Mr..
MOser'S stone at Wellersbur was
the scene Of a singular electrical
freak. The electric fluid descended
the chimney into a large drum in
the pipe on the second floor, where
it danced about for a brief period
making a singular din. Then it de-
scended to the first floor, where the
cap of the stove was lifted and
thrown to the floor. The next move
Of the frisky fluid was to erter box
containing scythes, which was
emptied Of its contents in less than
no time. Signing for further con-
quests, it made dash for the cellar,
went through a barrel ofcarbone oil, ,
and finally brought up in an earthen
jar containing syrup by which time
it seem to have utterly spent itself,

Wnen Illinois was . territory and
many years before that region had rail-
way communication with the Atlantic
States, . gentleman named Kent, 40
companied by his wife and daughter,
paidA visit TO some relatives 1t Roches-
ter, N. Y. The young girl was very
much impressed with the beauty of the
Genessse Falls and spent hours in
watching the fosmipg cataract. One
day she vsntured too near the brink
became dizzy and fell into the boiling
vortex. Her remains were recovered
and buried in . neighboring cemetry.

bsckto Illinois. The agonised father
called ca stone-cutter and told him to
p',.,up Tombstone of certain size, to
cost certain price and to put some ap-
propriats motto on it. Well. he did.
After giving the girls name and age.
the following pathetic couplct was
added:
"Hsre lies the remsins of Elizabeth
Kent;
She kicked up her heels aud away she
went"
The indignant relatives refused to al.
low the stcns to he placed over the
girl's remains, and her grave is without
one to-day.
