The news of the troubles in Elpaso county tex., and the Telegram of gov. Hubbard to the president calling for assistance from the u. S. Troops to repel tin invasion of texan territory cause some excitement hero but government advices do not warrant tin belief that other than local troubles have presented themselves. So far As can be Learned the unfriendly movements Are nearly of the same nature As those that were the subject of attention some months ago when the question of proprietorship of certain Salt pits in Elpaso county caused disorder there. The government does not consider that the troubles Are in any degree International. The dispatches were however referred to the Secretary of War who after consultation with Gen. Sherman gave direction for the mustering of forces in Texas in such positions As to give whatever Aid May be necessary to prevent assaults upon american citizens or their property.

A russian official dispatch dated to got Dee. 13, says a sixty battalions of turks yesterday attacked the forces of the grand Duke Vladimir All along the line directing however their principal efforts against the left and Center.

The thirty fifth division of the twelfth russian army corps appeared on the scene and attacking the turks in the flank compelled them with the co operation of the rest of the russian forces to retire upon Krasna their Retreat to Jovan i Fulik being Cut off. The grand Duke Vladimir narrowly escaped a Sulieman Pasha describing the same affair claims that he carried some of the entrenchments of Ketchka but was unable to hold them owing to the fire from the Heights and the arrival of russian reinforcements. He consequently withdrew to his original position after a seven hours Battle. Three thousand russians were killed. A Bucharest special says a Bullet grazed the Czar wit clip a head in this engagement. Mated by the spirit of the contest. The military Honor of both sides must be abundantly satisfied. Quot what object can there be in prolonging a contest ruinous to both countries the moment has arrived for the belligerent Powers to accept peace without affecting their dignity. Europe might now usefully interpose her Good offices since the Porte is now ready to come to terms. The country is not at the end of its resources and is still prepared to fight in its own defense. It is ready moreover to sacrifice All for the in Mendence and integrity of the fatherland but the Porte is desirous to Stop further effusion of blood and therefore appeals to the feelings of Justice which must animate the great Powers hoping they will receive these overtures favourably.

The Porte has shown a desire for improvement by reorganizing her judicial system and devising reforms without distinction of race or religion according to her Constitution which has everywhere been Well received. Partial Reform is of no Avail. Adaption of improvements in part of the Empire Only would be a Premium to other communities to revolt. Any doubts As to the execution of these reforms should disappear before the solemn declarations the Porte now makes. The state of War simply retards such reforms and is disastrous to the country generally destroying agricultural interests killing Industry Anc ruining financial reorganizations. Independently of these arrangements for Reform what reason can there he for continuing the War Russia has declared that she is not Ani Ohio news items. Or. Jared p. Kirtland died at Cleveland on the 10th, aged eighty four years. His father was appointed agent of tin Connecticut land company on the Western Reserve in 1799. Charles Rhode and Willie Froesch Ler ten and thirteen years of age were drowned in a Pond Iii Cleveland on the Lith. They had ventured on the newly formed ice and one of them broke through. The other trying to save him was pulled in and both drowned. Hon. L. G. Delano a term As commissioner of railroads and telegraphs expired on the 10th. Or. Delano was appointed by gov. Allen in 1875, in the place of Hon. John g. Thompson who resigned. Two shots were fired into the Short line train from Cincinnati for Columbus when near Lilley Chapel on the night of the 10th, by some unknown persons which came very near killing persons in both instances. The first shot passed Over the shoulders of the Engineer through the cab and the second passed through the window on one Side of a car and through the lattice and window of the other narrowly missing a gentleman who was lying Down on the seat. On the Lith the annual report of the state institution for the Blind was filed with tin governor. The stewards account shows the amount expended for the fiscal year to be $28, for Ordinary repairs $1,553 for Fence walks Etc., $9,000. The superintendents report shows the whole number of students admitted to be 171 average attendance 148, new pupils 38. Average age of pupils boys 17 girls 16. Many counties Are not represented in the institution a fact due to the ignorance or indifference of parents of Blind children to its advantages. The superintendent appeals to the Public to spread the information of the value of the institution that the sightless May be sent therefor instruction. The trustees report that the year has been one of Prosperity and quiet advancement in study. Only one death has occurred among the pupils. The Cost of sustaining the inmates is set Forth in detail showing that the whole number of officers teachers anti pupils 220 in All besides Many transient visitors were supported at a Cost of Only $11,894, or less than $1.10 per person per week and that an examination of purchases made will show that for the sum of $56.54 per capita per year a Bill of fare is provided equal to that of any private family. The institution is altogether Iii a very satisfactory condition. The president on the 12th nominated William a. Brand to be postmaster at Urbana and f. Gibbs to be postmaster at Portsmouth. An amicable suit was begun in the Superior court at Dayton on the Lith Between the Board of Public works and the lessees of the same for the semiannual rent due the state and to determine whether or not the lessees have the right to abandon their lease. By agreement pending the settlement of i he suit Peter Thatcher of Cleveland and Charles Parrott of Columbus were appointed receivers of the works until the question is decided. The ease will be argued some time before Christmas. A Man named St Verger residing near Eaton was fatally injured on the Lith while out Hunting by the accidental discharge of his shot gun the contents of which entered his right Side. The annual report of . Karr gives the following facts regarding the military organization in Ohio thirty nine companies of infantry one troop of cavalry and one four gun Battery have been accepted during the year. The present Force consists of 145 companies of infantry three troops of cavalry five four gun batteries and four two gun batteries. I la infantry is organized into seventeen regiments and battalions except nine unattached companies. The organization of cavalry has been abandoned for the present owing to tin fact that it is More expensive and tin state has no arms suitable for cavalry. Four gun batteries Are recommended in place of two gun the latter being too Small. Several of the present batteries Are regarded As inefficient and measures will be taken to disband them. The companies called out during the strike turned out for duty fully 25 percent stronger than their average attendance at drills or parades. The adjutant general does not favor paying a per diem for time spent at Parade drills or encampments. It should suffice for the state to furnish Camp and Garrison equipage subsist Dionysius Exi Guus mistook the year ence and transportation and probably the Day and the month. President fallow of the Cincin As to the year Christ was certainly natj5 Sandusky amp Cleveland Railroad born before the death of Herod the Jias escaped a criminal prosecution in great see Matthew. Now Herod the Sandusky common pleas court on great died in the year of Rome 749 or j eleven indictments for embezzling the 750. Some chronology its have attempt j conic Anvy a Money in consequence of a cd to make a nearer approximation to in t in indictments. Farlow was the year of Christ s birth by the help of i indicted As a director but the court Luke a remark Iii. 2-23 that Jesus was j about thirty years old in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. Tiberius became sole emperor in August in the year of Rome 767. Add the fourteen years of Tiberius reign and it appears that Christ was about thirty years of age in the year of Rome 781. But there is some reason to think that Augustus made Tiberius partner in the government two years before that is in 765 plus fourteen. In this ease Tiberius fifteenth year would be 779 of the year of Rome. Now if our Savior was about thirty years old in the year of Rome 781, he was born about the year of Rome 751. If in the year of Rome 779, then lie was born about the year of Rome 749.__ How it feels to be shot. Capt Henry Romyn of the fifth infantry is now in Detroit recovering from the wounds which he received in the last Battle with Josephus warriors. He tells the Story thus a you see i had been struck five times. One Ball shattered my Field Glass another raised a disagreeable Lump on my left shoulder and the others Only damaged m it clothing.

The weapon used was a Hatchet with which he beat the woman a head in a fearful manner. After Lier death he secreted the Hatchet and his bloody shirt dressed himself up in his Best clothes and walked to Newark eight Miles and gave himself up to the authorities.

Well Ben Haven was singing As he was Riding along one morning through the Woods on one of those narrow Corduroy roads which Don t allow one to turn off on either Side when he met the Blacksmith.
