slides which came tearing down the steep
decliyiies with the water, sweeping before
them every habitation. Cos Island, Samos,
Metelin and Lesbos, all few miles of the
western coast Of Anatolia in the Egean Sea,
were all severely shaken up, and there was
large loss OF life and property on Samos
and Lesbos, while the other two suffered
much loss. One OF the most curious things
aboutthis severe action OF nature was that
Chioe, where the destruction was the
greatest two weeks ago, and which lies
only a fGw mileg from Smyrna and in close
proximity to the other islands affected, this
time suffered only light tremor.

HIS IDEA OF CHRISTIANITY.

"I~wislt to place before the American
public my idea Of Christianity as large,
comprehensive system, regulating all mar

doctrine, separating the Catholic Church
from its latest Roman accretions. l believe
in the Sacraments, the cpiscopacy and all
the ancient doctrine OF the Church. There
will be nothing aggressive 10 my lectures.
I think such violent attacks Us those OF

liable.

From this table it will be observed that
there were 32l pupils on the rolls Of our
several schools the past month, and of this
number 229 were present every day, with
Al absent and As kept at home by their
parents.
In reference to school No. (Shep-
herd's,, it must be said that the trustees
have been compelled to transfer large
number of children enumerated in this
sub-district 10 school in Berkeley coun-
ty, for the reason that the children are
forbidden to cross the farms that lie be-
tween their homes and the school-houses,
or even to pass along the private roads
between the farms, because, it is alleged,
they leave fences down and gates open.
TO compel these children to follow the
public road around to the school house
would make the distance to most of them
four or five miles. Hence, the Board Of
Education has to provide for two schools
where one ought to suffice, and our pco-
pie have to pay that much more taxes.
The district, too, is in such a shape that it
is impossible to locate the scIiOol-house so
as to be convenient to all, and to accom-
modate the people, the house would have
to be put on wheels and drawn around
from house to house.

A correspondent Of the Romney Inteui-

that broke out on the farm Of Morgan
Smith, in Pendieton County, w. Va. Two
children that had died Of diphtheria were
exhumed and buried in the corner Of a
pasture field occupied by mich cows.
They frequented that part of the field,
and were known to rub their heads in the
fresh earth. Soon afterward they became
strangely affected, and three or four of
them died. The disease went no further.
On Friday Thomas Smith, the superin-
tendent Of the lands Of the great Gamer,
Mr.. Louis McMurrsy, made a trial Of a
steam gang pillow on one of his farms, on
the Baltimore turnpike, about mile and

engine was used for the motive power,
and seven plows turned up the earth at
the late of an acre in twenty minutes.
The test is very satisfactory, and it is
thought that Mr.. McMurray will soon put
these ploNs into Use on his farms-Fr,d-

bought them from Wholesale houses; the next
three years we bought them direct from the
manufacturers. This year we are having them
manufactured to our OWL special order. Three
months ago we placed our order for these goods
and now we have them 10 stock, beautiful and
cheap. See the difference Ia having them man

Important Railroad Neyotiu.

fiOns.-A number of railroad capitalists
have been at Barnum's for two days, says
the Baltimore Sun, on business connected
with the building of road in Virginia to
be an important feeder Of the Shenandoah
Valley. Among them were ii. D. Cooke,
of Washington, A. N. Martin, c. f. Kim
ball and F. l.. Smith, Of New York, and
VIM. A. Clark, Of Philadelphia. They
met in Baltimore because Colonel u. l..
Boyce, vice-presldent of the Shenandoah
Valley Road, is detained ut Barnum's
under medical treatment. The ncgotia-
tons were concluded Tuesday for the
purchase of the franchise of the "Wash-
ingtOn City, Cincinnati and st. Louis
Railway Company" by syndicate which
includes Mr.. A. n. Martin, Col. Boyce
and other parties. Messrs. John w. F.
Allamong and Jos. S. Loose, Of Bridge
water, Rockingham County, Va, who
recently bought the property at auction,
were also at the conference, aud 1t is un-
derstoOd are members Of the new syndi-
cate. A charter for the Washington City,
Cincinuati and St. Louis Railway CON-
pany was obtained some years ago by the
late Mr.. z. B. Borst and others, who pro-
posed 70 make it narrow-gauge road
from Washington to Cincinnati, where it
was to connect with Western narrow
gauge system. Some As miles Of road
were graded, Of which 81 miles can be
used in the new project. The present
syndicate intend to build standard road,
commencing at or near LinwOod, Rock
ingham County, On the Shenandoah Val
lev Road. Thence it will extend 20 miles
to Harrisonburg, where the Baltimore
and Ohio line runs. From Harrisonburg
it will strike westward about 100 miles.
1t will open up for market the Dora coal
mines. Further OH it will penetrate Po-
cahontas and Webster Counties, opening
ND that rich coal and lumber region. The
syndicate is backed by large capital, and
the agreement is that work on the road
shall be commenced in sixty days after
the ratification of the purchase. A cor
roration, under name not yet decided
upon, will he formed, with its board of
directors and other officers independent
of the Shenandoah Valley as to orSaniza-
ton, but an auxiliary as to its operation.
