Campbell's Elephants Stick to a
Tunnel.

Early on Tuesday morning the
news reached Cairo that the train
conveying Campbell & Co.'S Menage-
rie and Circus on its way to Parkers-
burg had been wrecked a short dis
lance above Cairo-cages smashed
and wild animals let loose to prowl in
the bushes, and hunt up their break
fasts on their own hook. People ev-
erywhere expected momentarily to
see some huge beast rush in upon
them, and doors were barred and
rusty shot guns double charged
The more timid remained indoors,
while few brave spirits armed to the
teeth ventured out to reconnoitre
Fortunately it turned out that the re-
atty was not so bad as the report
1t seems the box containg the ele-
plants was too large to get through
one of the tunnels, and while all the
rest of the show got safely through
this stuck fast and was jerked loose
and somewhat wrecked. After some
hours of engineering the elephants
were finally got through the tunnel
also and went on their way rejoicing,
and peace once more "reigned in
Warsaw The mishap gave some of
the boys chance to "sec the Gle
plant. "-Ritchie Dem.

The exhibition at this place on the
10th inst, was considerable of a sue
cess, although coming off on the eve of
Robinson's show and being a rainy
evening we did not expect much of a
crowd, but by 8 o'clock we found the
house pretty well crowded Most of
the performance was considered good
and some of the performers distin-
guishe1 themselves, but l will not
give names for fear of giving offense.
1t has been intimated that the young
folks of Granville would do we'll to
get up dramatic society and go
through drill under some competent
teacher and give performance about
every two months. 1t would be a
pleasant place for amusement and
would undoubtedly be well patronized
it would also be splendid school of
instruction for the performers.

The news from Eastern Europe is
not particularly important. No ma
terial change has taken place in eth
Their the relation of parties, or the po-
sition ofaffairs. There is still prepare
tion for war on gigantic scale in both
Britain and Russia, whilst the author
tiles of each nation profess their de-
sire for, and their hope of, peaceful
solution of the difficulty. Some inter
est has been attached to the mission of
Count Shouvaloff, the Russian Am
bassador in London, to st. Petersburg.
1t is supposed that he has carried
with him very definite and precise in
formation as to the temper and condi-
tions of the British Cabinet, and that
his statements and influence may 90
far in modifying the war feeling among
the Car and his advisers. But what
ever be the issue of his mission, there
is obviously greater disposition on
the part of Russia to moderate her de-
mands than has previously appeared,
and it may yet be possible to arrive
at a satisfactory accommodation.

How They Squir1n.

The determination of the Democrat
ic members of the House to probe the
Presidential fraud has filed the aiders
and abettors of that conspiracy with
dismay. Up to the last moment they
boosted that the Democrats lacked the
nerve to spread the net, lest they may
catch some of their own in the haul.
The disingenuous shift which the Re
publicans sought to make when the
resolution went before the House
proves to the country that they intend
to do all that guilty, factious and
well-disciplined minority can do to
turn aside the inquiry into channels
dliunde to the inquiry and that they
will thwart the main object ifthey can.
The issue is now squarely before the
country. The Democratic party has
avowed on the floor of the House that
it does not aim to divest Hayes of his
stolen honors, that it's aim is to reach
the bottom facts and set at rest the
rumors which unsettled the country.
This is just what the Republicans
want to defeat. If they had honestly
desired the full Investigation for which
they now ask, they would have come
forward with a resolution of their own
before this. The quibbling points of
order which they made on Potter's
resolution afford another proof of their
straitened circumstances and show
how, in their extremity they catch at
straws. Hales amendment to pry in
to the election in Oregon, Mississippi
and Louisiana is intended only to di-
rect attention from the main issue,
and blunt the edge of the Democratic
weapon.-Register.

Cass District.
May goth, 1878.


Editors NeW Dominion.-
The Board of Education engaged
Messrs.. Wilson & Gayhart to slate
the black boards of this district and
in consequence few old fogies are
making considerable ado about it.
1t is the nature of some persons to
whine, and we propose to let those of
that stripe whine on. We believe
that the intelligent taxpayers should
know what the board does and why
they do certain things. To those we
cheerfully give our reasons for hay
ing the black boards slated. In the
first place good black aboard is in
dispensable in school room, as eve
ry intelligent man will admit. In the
second place, there are few persons
who understand painting a black
board and consequently we have new
er had good one in the district. In
the next place, paint soon wears off
and an allowance has been for from
five to ten dollars per veal for re-
painting the boards. From the best
information, the slate board will last
for twenty years, therefore we will
save, by getting the boards slated,
about one hundred dollars. But this
is not all. 1t costs the district about
eight dollars per year for chalk and
by having the boards slated the hard
chalk can be used, which will save
three fourths of the amount of chalk,
or will save six dollars per year,
which is considerable item in TWEEN
ty years. A certain trustee is bel
lowing considerably and says he is
going to indict Gayhart and also one
of the Board for entering q school
house without coming to him for the
key. If this man would try to in
form himself instead of blowing off
his gas it would be better for him.
Section 7, page 6, of the late amend
ed school law says, "They (the Board
of Education) shall be deemed the
owner of the real and personal prop
erty Of their district" Therefore,
how could any one indict person
for going into his own house. The
fact is, trustees are simply agents for
the Board and cannot do anything
without the sanction or approval of
the Board Of Education.
