WITH the exception of some cannon
duels between the forces Of the opposing
nations stationed on both sides Of the
Danube. but little is being done in the
prosecution of the war between Russia
aud Turkey. The Turkish monitors
have, for some days, been amusing
themselves by throwing shells into the
town of Ibrail and other places These
killed few people and battered some
houses. IN Asia things were a ifiiItfe
more active in the early part of the
week. The Turkish town, Kars, was
assaulted by the Russians, and it was
at first reported captured. with a loss
to the Turks of $4,000 men. So con-
Trajectory, however, are the dispatches
that it is second thing to impossible to
get anything like reliable information
IN regard to what is going on. The
Turks seem to think that every mans
hand is against them, and they are
turning their hands against everybody
Outrages have been committed by them
against ships Of Britain, Austria and
Greece, which has caused those nations
to get their backs up, and it begins to
look a. if the Turks we're going to get
all hands down on them. The Sultan
is said to be about to proclaim "A Holy

All DOVER,
On WEDNESDAY, MAY23, 1877.

This dryer was invented for the purpose Of
saving part of my own crop of peaches in
1875. Thousands of baskets of fruit had
rotted in my orchard. The smocks and Late
White peaches were ready to dry when ! be-
gan, yet the peaches dried after that with
common stove without crate bars, sold for
two hundred dollars improved the dryer
greatly in 1876 and this year, and claim that
twill dry fruits and vegetables so that they
will be nearly as lightaud rich in color when
they are dry as when put fresh in the evapor-
ator. That which darkens more fruit than
all else, is the vapor that is thrown off in
drying, and remains in the dryer until it
passes through all the fruit in the way to the
outlet.
Ny invention by the use of tubes takes the
greater part of that moisture out of the main
chamber without its passing through the
fruit and also supplies DRY HEAT to every Eve
trays continually, thus retaining the natural
color Of the fruit by quick drying. When
the fruit is nearly dry it is slid into a mllder
heat in the finishing chamber.
The following certificates show what is
thought by those who have seen the fruit for
two years:

THR disasters of the Russians have
atlast been measurably retrieved in
the decisive victory of theAsiatic wing
of the army Monday, over Mukhart
Pasha in the neighborhood of Kars.
The first assault cut the Turkish army
in two and gave them great loss in
killed and wounded, while several
thousands were captured. The Turk
ish right, containing three divisions,
was surrounded and taken, and the
left routed with terrible losses. The
situation in Asia is now wholly in
the mastery of the Russians, and the
winter campaign will have the cour-
age of Q spleudid victory.

MCCOLLUM AT HOME Since the
DemocrM has so much fault to find
with what we said of its candidate for
State Senator, the following from the
Richland County Observer may be
presented as vindicating our state
ment concerning the man and his
atfinities:
The fact that Mr.. McCollum has been twice
elected 10 the Assembly from this district,
which has been three to four hundred Repub-
lCan, no doubt impressed the Iowa county
delegates that he won d be an nvincblc can
didate. 1t will not be disputed that a combi-
nation OF untOWard circumstances contributed
to this result. Earnest Republicans had previ-
ousiy been provoked To indifference by the
wanton spDi!sccking Of some of those who
had crcpt into the management Of the party,
and IL was apparent that for the time the
leadership Of the Republican and Democratic
parties was essentially the same. \ division
Of the spells was the watChwprd, and the ciec-
ton of McCo!um was the Democratic share.
But we believe th, apathy has been largely
overcome, and hope that the mana cement of
the Republican party is to be kept within its
ranks
OF course, Mr., McCollum's personal popu-
larily and extensive business relations with the
people Of the Willow Creek valley have made
hun an available candidate heretofore, and
will probably serve him we'll IN the present
campaign. We would not dctract one iota
from MI he may merit in these particulars but
Wc insist that, make them glitter as you may,
they afford no excuse for his election to pOlit-
cal office 10y the vote, Of those whom he would
not represent if elected. Republicans have a
candidate for whom thew may vote without
blush or shame, and if they are true to their
conyictions-ylelding not to personal importu-
niles--Mr Camphcl viii receive handsome
majority in this Assembly district, as he ought
to and viii elsewhere through the Senate
