Mr.. EDITOR BY your permission
| desire to call attention to the School
accommodation in this School district,
(Mechanicstown,) which has about
200 children within the ages pre-
scribed by the School law to attend
he Public Schools. We have but two
Schools and they have at this time
about GO scholars each in daily atten-
dance which is as many, if not more
than can be comfortably seated in
eitLer room. This leaves out Of
School at least 80 children for which
there is no chance for Schooling, I'LL
less by crowdng them (or portion
of them) in our now crowded Schools
Has it not become q public necessity
that we should have another School =
or are our children to be told again
this fall, AS they have been other
years, when they come to the School
door, that there is no room for them
the School room is over crowded and
they must 90 home" Such certainly
is not the spirit Of our School Iaw,nor
the intention Of the County School
Commissioners but that it is Il very
bad state Of affairs, none can deny,
and that it is sad piece Of neglect
on the part Of somebody again, cannot
be denied, the reason for which is be-
hind the curtain and our children are
the sufferers as this state Of things
to continue" is the question asked BY
the par ms Of our Schools?
FAIR PLAY.
The facts Of the above certainly
represent bad state Of aif,Irs Those
interested in school matters should
take hold Of thethng and see if the evil
cannot be remeliel in some manner.

EVENTS IN EUROPE.

The great statesman and Eepubl'c-
an, ex-President Theirs, Of France,
died suddenly of apoplexy on Mon
day last. The event caused a pro-
found sensation, fer in the present po-
litical crisis the loss Of her wise and
discreet leadership will oe seriously
felt on the republican sides. He
died at the age of eighty. M. Gam
beta, the brilliant orator, is now the
leading republican, and is under trial
for political ohenses against President
McNIahon.
The Russian defeat at Plevna by
the Turks under Osman Pasha las
been followed by the battle of Lovatz
in which the Turks were unsuccessful,
A reliable report says the Russians
rcpulsed nine successive Turkish as
suits and finally drove them back
into the town, where the struggle
continued in the streets uLtli the
Turks were driven out the other side
Of the town in great disorder. The
slaughter was very great on both
sides. So the war goes on. One day
there is a Turkish victory. In the
next encounter the Russians are as
likely to be successful. The great
decisive point is the final holding OF
the Balkan defences. If the Russians
cross them as they crossed the Dan
ube then comes the march on ConstaA-
tinople.
The hero of Plevna, Osman Pasha
is reported to be an American by
those who profess to know as Il. Clay
Crawford, of Hawkins county, len
nessee, daring and adventurous Of
ticer who served as colonel in an ar
til,ery regiment during the rebellion
After the war he spent a large fort
une in reckless dissipation near Phil
sdelphia. In 1867 he published a
newspaper at Chesterto" Md. At
ter that he went abroad and entered
service of the Khe.ive Of Egypt
From there he was transferred to the
army OF the Sultan and as Osman Pa
sha commanded the Turkish army
Which won the battle Of Plevna. He
is described as a man OF very com.
manding and dashing appearance
whom the Turks are very proud of as
a magnificent three tailed tashaw.
The Pope's health is again the sub
iect of interest and discussion. His
limbs are partially paralyzad but no
immediate danger is apprehended.

Rumors are rife in New York to
the effect that on or about tue 18th

the railway employees of that section.
But little attention has been paid to
them heretofore, but investigations
show that preparations have been
making fol- some time for the move
mcnt, and that the men are perfect
ing their organizations. One of tie
causes attributed for this new ont
break is that the men on the West

railroad have not been treated right
by the company, and that promises
made to induce them to resume work
at the time OF the late strikes have
not been kept. A. matter of prln,
