Vaniue Letter,
VANLUx, May u, 1877.

VANLUH, May u, 1877.
The entertainment given by the
Band of Hope" at the Lutheran
Church, on The evening Of the 81 inst,
was a grand success.
Mrs. DR.. Wilson, who is peculiarly
adapted to the work of instructipg, !, and
has special fondness for children,
was. the prime mover and the leading
spirit in this, one OF Vanlue's most de-
lightful and enthusiastic entertain
ments.
The House was crowded to its ut
most capacity; about seventy children
occupied the front seats, and though
many o. them were quite young yet,
such is Mrs. Wilson's tact in manag-
ing little folks, that she conducted
them to and from their seats and about
the stage with ell the grace and order
of a skilled general commanding a regi-
meut Of veterans.
The singing, speeches and scripture
lessons, excited frequent and loud ap-
plause. Rev. Mr. Radebaugh, in his
happy and inimitable way, gave an
object lesson, using for the purpose
large paper hearts, one of which was
perfectly white, while the others con
tanned from one TO four dirt spots.
The one spot which was As ''black
as the ace of spades" represented to-
bacco; the two spots represented to
bacco and lying; three spots represent
ed tobacco, lying and profanity and
the four spots representy tobacco,
lying, profanity aud drunkenness, and
the heart dark all over, repre- sented all
'tall manner of evil
The singing by the Lutheran choir
added sweetness, richness and even
dignity to the occasion. Rev. Mr.
Eastman, Miss E. Brown, Mr.. Moor
and Miss Taylor sang "Willie's Grave"
and those who have heard these pe.-
sons sing, know that comment is un-
necessary. Miss Brown rs an alto
singer, has but few equals. In fact, the
singing talent of Vanlue surpasses that
Of many larger places.
But the most entertaining pe-farm-
ance of the evening was "Over the
Hill to the Poor House, by Miss Lou
Wilson. Miss Wilson is q school teach
er by profession and lady of rare ac.
complishments. Her recitation ofthis
pathetic story was so natural. that
many of the children actually thought |
she was an old lady an shed tears
when she bade them good bye and |
started ''Over the Hill to the Poor |
House, She was greeted with pro-
longed applause and many comuli-
mented and pronounced her perform

LONDON, May 21-A special from
ErzeIoum, Saturday, describing the
first attack on Ardahan, says the eff.
forts of the Russians commenced with
heavy artillery fire, which was as
hotly returned. This was followed by
infantry attacks, which were repulsed
with great slaughter. Under orders
apparently to obtain success some
where or other at any cost, troops
were led back to the assault, after the
Iass failure. until night stopLe ed the
carnage. The Russians captured at
Ardahan Turkish Pasha, eighty-two
cannon, including two eight inch and
a number of smaller Krupps.
The fall of Ardahan is great advan-
tage to tie Russians, for, besides open
ing a line of communication with
Akhaltjak, it will enable the Russians
to turn the force hitherto operating
against Ardahan toward Kars, or take
part ia the combined operation against
Erzeroum.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says that
the bodies of 500 Turks have been
already buried at Arabian.

rear of the Russians, is occasioning

BOREIGN-WAR OPERATIONS.

At Giurgero, opposite Rutschulk,
early last week, an attempt was made
by the Russians 10 cross the Danube.
The fighting was an artillery duel Of
magnitude, in which the Turkish nou
itors joined. A crossing was not ei-
fected. Shells from the Russian bat
teries at OIleni.za fired the town OF
Turtokai.
Reports on Friday indicated no
crossing effected. The Turks had up
to that time captured 200 small vessels
belonging to Russians.
There has been e change in the
French Ministry. Gambetta declares
that is result will be war.
On the night of the 10th, the Turks
made an attack upon the Christians in
Turtokai. putting all tue males and
some of the elder females 10 death,
aud brutally debauching the young
women.
The fall OF Ardahan, which took
place OH Thursday of last week, has
placed TN importsnt-strnDghold in
possession OF the Russians. Arabian
is situated near the borders of the
Black Sea, between Batoum and
Kars, though nearest TO Kars. Its
possession by the Russians will free
a number oftroops TO aid in operations
against Kars and Erzeroum. The dis
patches in regard 90 the capture of the
place are here given:

had a majority in the House, and they
determined that these two should not

Like men they refused; then they
were denied admission, and a new
election ordered. The ''policy" which

SHERIFF WALLACE, Of Cincinnati,
will not have to solve the perplexing
problem how to be his own prisoner.
The Court before which he was recent
ly CONVICTED of an offense against the
United States laws in allowing Unit
States prisoner in his custodyto escape:
had the right to sentence him to i'm
prisonment in the county jail or in the
Penitentiary, in addition to imposing
a fine. The Judge was merciful and
contented himself with timing the
Sheriff six hundred dollars The dis
grace to Hamilton county is therefore
not quite so deep as it might have
been. The Sheriff is a happy man to
have gotten off SO cheaply.

IT is bad news for the boys, and per-
haps for some children of larger
growth, but the Fire Insurance Com
panies, through the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, have begun thus
early q crusade against Fourth of July
fire crackers, and other loose pyrotech-
ni,s. 1t is sought to secure from the
local authorities ordinances making it
penal to manufacture, vend, or use any
crackers, squibs, or other minor pyro-
technice lities. The Board gives some
figures which are really startling. The
invoice value of all the firecrackers
imported since Jan. 1, 1865, is less than
81, 500, 900 while the loss by only two
two fires directly occasioned by them
was SIS, 900, ,000l On one day only o.
last year the loss traceable to them
amounted to 25 per cent. of the Whole
invoice value of the importations in
1875. Every dollars worth of crackers
imported has occasioned a direct less
by FIRE of upward of 500. The Cen
tennial Fourth of July cost the insur
snee companies alone $154, 574, while
the value of the crackers imported
during the year was but s166, 6,095.
