AT our last report the bOmbardment
OF the city of Alexandria, Egypt, by the
British feet, was in progress. On We'd
nesday of last week flag of truce was
displayed from the besieged city, and
the firing ceased, and vessel was sent
to communicate with the Egyptions.
Negotiations were abortive, and the
firing was resumed, and again inter-
rupted by call for trnce from the forts.
On Wednesday night Arab Bey's forces
evacuated the harbor Notifications, and
citizens of the city left with the troops,
leaving their homes to be pillaged and
burned. The scenes fullo owing upon the
evacuation are described as horrible in
the extreme. Before his departure,
Arab had ordered the prison doors to
be opened, and the released convicts, to-
gether with Bedouins and degraded res
idents, gave themselves up to excesses
of all kinds. They carried the firebrand
into the European quarter, sacking eve-
ry house and shop and numbering the
hated foreigners by scores. On the fol-
lowing day Admiral Seymour landed six
hundred men, who took possession of
some of the abandoned forts, but despite
all their efforts the work of destroying
the city went on, the conhagration
licking up palaces, public buildings and
residences in its path. The city and
forts are said to be utterly ruined.
The city and forts are said to be utter
ly ruined. The city is in possession of
a strong detachment from the British
and neutral fleets, including party
from the American men of war. The
people are being encouraged to return to
the city, and the Khediye has issued a
proclamation calling for the restoration
of order.
AS far as can be determined from the
latest news from the seat of war few
thousands of the Egyptian insurgents
are still hanging about the outskirts of
Alexandria, but Arab has retired to
Mamietta, a town On the eastern Nile,
over hundred miles distant, where he
is directly across Lake Manzaleh from
Port Said, the entrance to the SueZ Canal,
and is under observation by British
vessels. If the reports are true as to the
gathering of Egyptians and Arabs to
the standards of the rebel commander
he may be surrounded by numerous
and undisciplined rabble There are
important indications that France may
be drawn into the conflict in alliance
with England.

The action in Alexandria harbor is
the first test of the new naval architec-
ture and guns, and the result will,there-
fore, be watched with the keenest inter-
est By all the maritime powers. That
it viii be fair test all around is not
likely, however, for the Egyptian forts
are mainly old fashioned stone struc-
lures, such as those defending our own
harhnrs, and their cannon, although
probably heavier than any we have
here, are yet not as heavy as those on
board such vessels as the first class
ones OF the British fleet. Still, the ma
neuvering qualities of the huge hulks
may he thoroughly tested.

THE Guernsey Times is harping about
a"third term" as applied to Congress
man Updegraff.. Will the Times please
inform acomplacent. public what good
reason there is for retiring member of
congress at the end, of two terms pro-
Yiding, always. he is an efficient and
useful member? The Times is edited
by brother of J. d. Taylor, who wants
DR.. Updegraff's seat in congress. That
explains its zeal against third term
Just now; but we submit that the aver
age Republican looks at it from diff
ferent standpoint from that occupied by
the editor Of the Times.
Nointelligent Republican will be mis-
led by this silly talk about "third
term" Eight terms were given Mr..
Bingham, and three Mr.. Danford. Has
not DR.. Updegraff represented the Peo
pie of the District as faithfully as did
either of them? Has any individual
who is opposing him offered any good
reason why he should not be returned
to congress? Is he not in position now
to render more efficient service to the
People of the district than any man WHO
has been named for congressP We aver
that he is, and, further, that he is bet
ter representative of the agricultural and
manufacturing interests of the district
than any man who has represented it in
congress within the knowledge of the
present generation of voters. Therefore
the People are with him.
There is no sound reason for this
nonsense about third term" as ap-
piled to members of congress. No SEN
sible man ever offered such an objection
to the denomination of such member,
unless it be that he or some one of his
relatives or close friends wanted the
place, and no other reason could be
thought of. On the contrary, long SER
vice in the House and familiarity with
the rules, have been looked upon by
men who wanted their district well rep
resented as in mans favor, providing
he is sober and upright member. Gen
eral Garfield was kept in the House sew
enteen years continuously. Alexander
II. Stevens, of Georgia, has spent the
most of his manhood in that body. In
the. Ohio delegation Mckinley, Town
send, and others of the most useful
members have served more than two
terms. John Sherman has served more
than two terms in the Senate. Who has
ever made the third term" objection to
him? Experience in legislation has
made these men among the. most infu-
ential in congress, and no man who
looks solely to the public interests will
tolerate such an objection.
Representative Updegraff has made
useful member, and the experience he
has had will better fit him for the dis
charge of his duties as the member from
this great district. If no better objec-
tion to his denomination than this can
be brought forward, the People whom
he has served SO well will see that he
is not displaced merely to make room
for some one else.

COLERAIN.

During the past six weeks farmers
have been on herculean strike, and as
result the hoed crops are in quite good
condition. The wheat is in shock, and
if the present week is fayorable as last
it will be secured in good condition. One
of our farmers who has occupied the
same farm for more than forty years,
SAYS the present one is the heaviest crop
he ever gathered. Some fields were
choked with grass, which will decrease
the yield, but taking it all together, the
crop is extra good. Rye is but little
grown, yet we saw a dozen large sheaves
raised from one bushel of seed. We re-
gret to say that the oats are badly rust
ed. The yield of hay was never better.
Corn is pushing up fnely-early varie-
| ties were in silk on the S0th of June.
Potatoes will be sufficient to satisfy all.
We heard man remark last week that
perfect apple could not be found; the
assertion was broad, but hard to dis
prove.
Bees have done well at swarming this
season, but it has been too cold and wet
to make honey.
The ST. C. & n. railroad is great con-
venience to our citizens. We can now
go to Bridgeport and return by 10
o'clock.
On last Saturday we visited the wheat
field of VIM. Harrison, and saw Buck
eye reaper and binder at work. The
wheat was badly tangled and full of
grass, yet it done its work in the most
satisfactory manner. The binding was
done with small sea-grass cord. The
machine cost $3.50, and saves the labor
of five hands.
'Rosebuds' were recently freely distrib-
uted in this vicinity: Two fell to the

has an agent in the field who proposes
giving one pound of coffee to every fam
lily in Belmont county. We expect to
go to the grocery for our coffee, and pay
for it, and not run the risk of being sold
for seventeen cents.
DR.. Cope recently returned from Ten
neSsee, where he went to sec his brother
John, who was sick, but who was dead
and buried before the doctor reached

LOYDsvILLE.

The most of our farmers in this vicinity are
busy in their wheat. Some are in their corn,
thinking it needs their attention more than
the wheat. Corn, as general thing, in this
vicinity, looks as well as it has in former
years at this time of the year.
There has been no wool sold in this neigh>
borhood that we have heard of. Farmers are
holding at 40 cents, and as they are not push
ed for money, nothing less will buy it.
Thomas Bentley, living close to town, is
having his house remodeled, which, when

had been fighting about some pigs. The

get into Mr.. Matthew Peeler's wheat field,
which made Mr.. P's blood boil. Mr.. Toolas
son John and Mr.. P. agreed to settle it in the

DEATH OF BISHOP SCOTT.
The Senior Bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church Passes Away.

Bishop Levi Scett has been for so
many months on the verge of the grave
that his death, which occurred yester-
day, at his home near Odessa, Delaware,
is no surprise to the Church or the COM
munity. He was the senior Bishop of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, having
been in the Bishopric since 1852. His
ministry dates back as far as 1926. He
was born near Odessa, October IL, 1902.
Brought up on farm and intended for
a farmer, be had but limited education
in his early days, but in subsequent
years built largely on this foundation,
and by great diligence and close applica-
tion became great scholar of consider
able distinction. In 1S40 he was chosen
Principal of the Grammar School of
Dickinson College, Carlisle. He received
his A. NJ. from Wesleyan University and
bis d. d. from Delaware College. In
IS4S he was appointed one of the Meth
odist Book Concern at New York, the
firm being Lane & Scott. Shortly after
being elected Bishop he went to the At
rican coast to visit the Conference there
Severe inroads on his health were made
by this voyage and visit, and he was for
a long time broken down man. But
his vigorous constitution resisted dis
ease and he was again fit for active. ser
vice, although by no means in robust
health. Three times he visited the Pa
cific coast on duties connected with his
Episcopate. For several years he has
been laid aside from work. Bishop Scott
was man greatly beloved. lie was
