ON THE ROLLERS.-It is Il nice thing to
be verscd in the art OF skating. TO glide
over the shining surface of the ice and to in
scribe startling and pleasing devices with
the stecl-tempered blade, is a beautiful thing
to do and ali interesting spectacle to behold.
Once that sort of advertisement was the Pc
culiar product of the Winter season. but
modern ingenuity has made it past;me of
even the Summers solstice and substituted
the wooden flooring for the glittering field
of ice. Every Friday and Saturday nights
now the roar, like that of small Niagara,
breaks cut from the windows Of the Grange
Hall to mingle with the yelp OF the honest
watch dog and the scream of the locomotive.
1t is the noise of the skaters that is abroad
in the land. ''Oh let's go up and skeet,"
was the earnest suggestion OF Stanton
small boy to another, and we followed the
eager pair up the long stairway and into the
spacious Hall, and there we did see fun.
Two score of people, at least, were wildly
engaged in the fascinating sport, and the
walls around were lined with eager specta-
tors. There were those who had mastered
the science as we'll as their legs and sailed
around in graceful swooping curves or start
ling sinuosities, and there were those who
went with totterlng and uncertain PAGES
beating the air vainly and looking to the
nearest bench with anxious and straining
eyes. Every now and then dull heavy
thud would fall Oh the expectant ear, and
pair of legs would be seen in mid air, while
a scream of delight and intense qualification
would greet the denouement, from all the
wall flowers, in chorus. The falls were not
confined to the novices. Some Of the most
astounding assumptions Of the dorsal de-
cubitus were made by those who hold them
selves on their experiences. A 1.-THE and sim
envy youth perchance, whose soft-eyed lady
love waved and smiled encouragement at
him from the seats, would start forward and
do the backward roll and then speeding
away with the f1eetness of the wind, would
curvet around and pirouette like spinning
top. and just make the spectator hold his
breath with very admiration, and then all of
sudden that young mans back would be
in opposition with the floor, and pair of
No. beetle crushers would describe circles
in the dir, while the building itself would
vibrate with the conclusion. Oh /! it was
great sport, and proclaims the inventor Of
the roller skate one OF the benefactors OF the
young race. The facilities for firtations af-
forded by the helplessness of the stronger
sex wiz: the women when on the uncertain
footing of rotatory sandals, makes the
amusement essentially popular among the
unmarried, and we doubt not that the sea-
son of roller skating will continue with I'M
abated success, until it's unlicensed com petit
tor Jack Frost comes in and wins its vota-
ries away to the ancient sliding on the ice.

A special correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph al Batoum gives detailed
account OF the action near that place on Friday
last, OF which he claims TO have been an eye
witness. lie speaks OF it as having been an
important engagement, aud ;Osiiiies TO The
spirit and determination Of the Russians, MS
well as the 'admirahe CALAMITY OF the
Ottoman soldiers. The actual fighting lasted
more than eight hours, and resulted in loss 10
the former in Killed and wounded of more than
feur thousand men and u number Of guns.
The Turks had the advantage Of entreneh-
ments during the greater part of the affair, for
which reason, il is said, their losses were com.
paraiively insignificant. Bat one man Of the
crew of two hundred survived the destruction
Of the Turkish monitor of lbrail. She wa:
armed with five, nine-inch guns. Der.
lin correspondent Of the Times thinks Il
evident that the Russians are either complet.
ing their preparations to cross the Danub'
simultaneously AT several points, or they ART
seeking to make the Turks think SO.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

A RascaIly Trick.-Early on Sunday
morning last, a large and beautiful bay horse
was lying in Washington street in this town
dead, and no one amongst the crowd which
had gathered around recognized the animal MS
the property Of any person, and the Corporate
authorities had it hauled away. Tuesday,
Mr. Richard West, who lives near barnes
town, in passing through this town made
known the fact of his loss Of a horse which he
supposed TO have been stolen aud carried to
Washington, to which place he was on his
way to look for him. The horse that was
found was described to Mr. W. and so fully
answered the description of his horse that he
at once repaired TO the spot where the animal
had been hauled and recognized it as his
The recognition unraveled the whole story
which is, that Jno. Lewis, a colored laborer
employed by Mr.. West, after working the
horse hard all day rode him to Rockville to at
tend a meeting Of the colored secret societies
on Saturday instead of turning him 10 the
pasture as ordered to do by his employer
The labor proved uncomfortable, for the horse
died from the effects Of it. The negro re-
turned to his home and began to attend to his
LABOR rs if perfectly ignorant of the horses
whereabouts. Mr.. West will have him ar
rested and prosecuted at th next Term of
Court.

more at the Cathedral, with no one present

quaintances while sauaterng along very leis-
urely. At 1870 p. NJ =, Mr.. MeCann the sex
ton Of the Cathedral, who was unaware Of
what was about TO occur, received orders TO
close the church and lock the front doors, and
admit no one. Accordingly, he requested
those in waiting TO retire, which they did VERY
reluctantly and the church was apparently
empty. few young ladies, including the
daughter Of wel-known millionaire, sue
ceeded in escaping the sections vigilance, and
witnessed the ceremony The Virgins altar
was brilliantly lighted and adorned, and two
acolytes were in attendance. The bridal party
having been Joined by tina Governor in the

The Boston Journal complains that the
Government has given its advertising TO an
agent to be jobbed ont and justly says that
this system of allowing agents to attend TO the
business will terminate in species Of jobbery
ten times more injurious than anything we
have yet had, for the agent will become a
political power and will take from the pocket
of small publishers an amount which does not
benefit the Treasury Of the United States in
the slightest.
We say all that the publishers have got to
do is TO refuse contracts from these middle
men aud stick rcsolutely 10 their determina-
ton and il can be done, when these harpies on
advertiser and publisher will soon be driven
