that as he is In contempt Of Morrison s

THE EASTERN WAR.

Within the last few weeks very
important events have tranSpmed III
the operations Of the armies of Rus
sia and Turkey. During the early
part Of the war ali the aggressive OPP
erations took place in Asia, while
the combatanty in Europe maintain
eda state of mastery inactivity aside
from preparations.
The Danube forms the southern
boundary Of Roumania or in other
words divides that principality from
Bulgaria, the northern part of Tur-
key. The Turks maSsed their
armies on the south and fortified all
important points, While the Rus
slams made every preparation on the
northern banks To cross the stream
and for the subsequent operations in
Bulgaria.
1t was believed that the Cars
troops would experience great diff
Guilty and loss of life in the attempt
to cross this historic river. Contra
ry to general opinion the crossing
was effected successfully without
much loss of life and the compaign
to this date inaugurated with the
crossing of this natural dividing line
demonstrates that the Turks have
been completely outgeneraled in ev-
cry objective movement, of their in
vaderS.
Forcing their first line of defence
west of the quadrilatoral forts they
pushed ON to the second or Balkan
mountains which can only be cross
eel through narrow delileS and pass
eS, making them an almost impreg-
nable line of defence against their
forts. But the Russians have forced
and crossed these mountains and are
marching on Adrianople in the di-
rection of ConStantinople.
"Coming events cast their shad-
ewS before" and the probability is
that the sultan will be compelled to
sue for peace before many moons
have elapsed in view of the wretched
condition of the internal affairs of
his country, the virtual bankruptcy
of the treasury, the demoralization
of the inhabitants and the position
and strength Of the armies of Russia
coupled W: III her resources of men
and money.

AOAA bAAN Il Itllds 1lllCS vi - ulN III.
The law is supreme in Philadel-
phia. General Hancock arrived
with five hundred Regulars in Com
mand at the West Philadelphia de-
pot. There was some incendiary
work done, but no disorder exists in
general. and the feeling in this city
Is getting better. In Reading great
rioting and bloodshed prevail. A
mob obstructed the passage of trains
and surrounded a body of militia
from Allentown, who fired upon the
rioters and dispersed them. There
We're four men killed and number
of persons wounded. The feeling in
Reading is very excited and bad
one. Harrisburg is entirely under
control of the mob. The city gave
Up to the rioters, who captured a
number of the militia. The arsenal
IN Harrisburg is guarded by the mi
litia. In Pittsburg the strike is get

THE STRIKE IN PHILADELPHIA.
Stoppage Of Freight Truins-Recep'
ton OF the Wounded. Scenes IN
West Philddelphia-Tbe Mayor
Commands the Pedce-The
Volunteers Under Ar1nS and
Police on Dudy-NO Actual
Outbreak.

From the Philadelphia Times OF July 2S.
The strike of railroadoperatlveS ut
nearly all the great railway centres
has caused intense excitement
throughout the country. From all
points come reports of movements
of the strikers, and of the mastering
and m assing of troops, regular and
volunteer, to maintain order. The
deeds of blood and the attendant IA
pine at Pittsburg marked Sunday as
{, day long to be remembered. Our
dispatches give the events of the day
in detail. All accounts agree that
Pittsburg is literally in possession
of a mob, whose present purpose is
plunder, and will spare no violence
to obtain it. The Philadelphia
troops behaved gallantly, but were
shamefuily treated by the rioters,
whose numbers were overpowering.
They are now believed to be in a
place Of safety and viii probably be
reinforced to-day. Trains have been
stopped at Harrisburg. Altoona, Co.
lSmbia and other points, but there
has been no blood shed in this State
except at Pittshmg. At West
Philadelphia the strikers have for
hidden the departure of freight
trains, and none have been dis.
patched. Governor Hartranft is on
his way home. In the meantime al
the militia III the State has been
placed under marching orders.
United States troops are expected to
arrive in this city to-daE. They will
be commanded by Major General ".
s. Hancock.
There is complete cessation of
business along the line of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad; not a car
has left Baltimore within the last
twenty-four hours, and the rioters
have their own way at Cumberland
and Keyser. There is a gathering
of United States troops in Baltimore,
gunboats guard the government
property, and the entire militia and
police of the city continue on duty.
The rioters seem to be under control,
but crowds around the depot wear a
sdllen air. In Washington there
has been no outbreak, but great ex-
citement prevails. The President
and his Cabinet are in almost con-
= slant consultation with view to
the preservation of the peace, par
ticularly in Maryland, Ohio, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania. On the
Erie Railroad the strike continues,
but several regiments have been or
dered from New York city to Hor-
nellsville, the scene of disorder on
this line. In OHIO no trains are run
'ningon the Pennsylvania, Erie and
Baltimore and Ohio Railroads. Gov
'ernor Young has called out the Mill
tia and declares that peace shall
prevail and the law be obeyed at any
hazard. Trouble is feared at Louis
vile, Kentucky. and at st. Louis, the
employees of the Mississippi and
Ohio Railroad have demanded their
wages on penalty of strike.

TO THE SCHOOL BOARD OF PENN
TOWNSHIP.

GENTLEMEE:-Ere long you will
again be called upon to discharge the
duties imposed upon you by virtue
OF your office, VIZ: the selection of
teachers, arranging of salaries, etc.
The parties chosen to fill these re-
sponsible positions should be SO Sc
lected as to give the very best salts
faction to all concerned, indepen-
dent OF small, petty matters, affect
ing lew persons, whom we find in
capable of being satisfied, despite our
most strenuous eXertiOnS on that di-
rection. The Office which you now
occupy is generally considered one
OF insignificance, but to a person
given to much thinking, it becomes
aStoniShlngly apparent that we have
none to be filed by popular vote, re-
qulring nobler sentiments and lOftier
aspirations than that Of School Di-
rector. You have it in your power
to make the common school not only
an advantage and thus a blessing,
but as well source OF national
strength. See TO it then, please, that
the schools of Penn Township the
coming term make rapid strides to-
ward perfection, get out Of the old
rutS, and leave behind them the
thread-bare landmarks of former
years; all this and much more you
can do, need we tell you how =? The
number of applicants will undoubt-
edlY again tar exceed the number of
schools at your disposal. DO not be
hasty IN making your choice, think
over the matter, see them examined
and decide according to their mer-
It's, as we think each and everv one
OF them worthy of recognition at
your hands, if properly qualified.
DO not allow personal animosities to
materially affect your preferment,
as the applicant may be the one de-
sired by the people.
After you have installed the teach
er in Office, support and stand by
them. visit the schools, assist him OF
her in the discharge of all school du-
ties, and the invariable result will be
good schools and successful teachers.
remember, all unpleasant occuran-
ces, &C., are or will be imputable to
