The population o f the place, including suburbs, was, in 1875, about fifty thousand. T h e harbor is one o f the finest in Am erica, and is never blockaded By ice. I t is doubt* ful whether the city can ever fully recover from the terrible blow which it received. THE WAE, Turkish sources assert that a great battle was fought 20 m iles south of Sistova, Friday and Saturday, which resulted in the total defeat o f the Rus* sians. E a ssian boats, containing corpses o f men and horses are floating down the Danube. The bridge a t Sistova, destroyed by a storm Friday, has been rebuilt. It is estimated that 30,000 Russians crossed the Danube here, losing 200 k illed, and commenced a forward m ovement towards B iella. T h e R u s sian advanced guard attacked B iella, but were driven, back upon Sistova w ith heavy loss. A fresh battle is e x pected. THE E IR E EIEHD. T h e fire fiend is at work again, Misfortunes never com e single. The public had scarcely taken breath from the accountfe o f the great catastrophe o f St. John, when the news comes that the old town o f Marblehead, M ass., is alm ost entirely swept, away. In the space o f a short tim e seventy- two houses were burned to the ground, a large number o f factories destroyed, a great m any people thrown out of em ployment for the season. In the case o f Marblehead there was a defi ciency o f water and an inefficient fire department. Another warning to be ready to m eet and grapple with, the destroying element. Ex-G o v ernor N o y e s , o f Ohio, has been handed his commission as M inister to France, and departs for his post o f duty early in Ju ly. M & 'O f course the Custom H o u se is a ll right now, but under whose ad m inistration was it that things got in to such a rotten condition ? “ I have no R e lativs B y Blud or marig in the Tresury D epartm en.” T h is what an estim able young K e - publican Treasury clerk wrote in re p ly to one o f Secretary Sherman’s sanguinary reform missives. l© - T r o y Press: I f Mr. Tilden has killed the Dem o cratic party, the H erald w ill find in 1880, and before that date, too, the liveliest dead par ty that ever swung a banner to the breeze or began a cam paign with cer tain victory ahead. I®** The Indians in Idaho and Ore- ^ gon have suddenly become very trou blesome, and they have murdered a number o f settlers. I t is high time these savages were turned over to the ■War Departm ent, and the govern m ent should stop making “ treaties” with them. Troops have been order ed in greater numbers to the disturb ed sections. ^ W h en the H a rvard students - greeted Mr. H a y es with a “ H a h ,” he stood up and said : “ God g rant that during the remainder o f the term I . m a y be able to do som ething to de serve it.” The ex-Governor o f Ohio 7 /w a s evidently oppressed with the idea ^ / that he had done nothing thus far to m e r it praise. A n d that is what the ' R epublicans o f Iowa seem to think, ^ likewise. ^ W a shington correspondent N . Sun : H a y e s remains nervously C • ' * anxious to conciliate a ll possible sup - ^ * port. H is first question to nearly \ every visitor is as to the reception given his policy. H e meets few re assuring answers. M o st are couched in the same cautious vein as one g iv en b y ex-Postmaster B u r t, o f Boston. “ D o e s M assachusetts support m y poli cy?” ashed Hayes. “ Massachusetts supports but she does not approve ~ th e administration policy,” answered ^ M r. Burt. I t w ill be recollected that the R epublican newspapers m ade a con siderable fuss, a few weeks ago, about a brace o f postmasters who reported them selves to the D e p a r tm e n t as “ bulldozed” out o f F e lician a Parish, L a . The Department sent our old acquaintance, Gen. George A . Sheri dan, o f roast steer notoriety, up to F e lician a to investigate, and h e re ports, in efiect, that the postmasters were lying, and that they can return to their homes and ofiices w ith entire safety. Furthermore, Sheridan commends their renoval from the offi ces for incompeteney. St. John iff the c h ief seaport o f N e w Brunswick, situated a t the mouth o f the river St. John in the B a y of Fnndy, at a point where the tide rises and falls a distance o f fifty feet. I t was one o f the m ost properous and flourishing cities in th e Dom inion, C R O s s m a the D a n u b e . ■he lollewing account o f the cross ing o f the Danube is given by an w itness: W ith the darkness,'Gene Dragomeroff began his dispositions. His^ first work was to plant in made emplacements a row of field guns all along the edge o f the flats to sweep the opposite banks. This was while infantry was being marched over the flats to the cover o f the willows. The darkness and obstrnctions were so great that all was not all ready until the first glimmer o f dawn. There was no bridge, but a number o f river boats capable o f holding from 15 to 40 men each. They were dragged on carriages through the mud and launch ed in the darkness. The boats pat ofl* singly, rowing across for a little cove, and a little steam tug was brought In to requisition. The Turks immedi ately opened a smart fire both on the boats and troops who were waiting to cross. The leading boat contained Major Gen. Y o lchine. The Turkish riflemen were in position about 50 yards from the shore. H e landed bis handful o f men and bade them lie down in the mud. Then he opens skirmishing fire to cover the landing o f the boats that followed. One by one these landed their freights who followed the exam p le o f the first boat load. A t length enough had accumu lated, among them General Kobelaffs and his son. General Y o lchine bade his men fix bayonets, stand up and follow their officers. There wa rush and a cheer. The Turks fi an effective volley, but did not wait. General Yolchine skirmishers follow ed them some distance np the slope, but for a time could not press on far from their base. M eanwhile, the Russian guns from across the river and the Turkish artillery were firing briskly. The Turkish shell kept fall ing in the water, whistling through the willows and bursting among the columns on the flat. One shell from a mountain gun fell into a boat con taining two guns, their gunners and the commandant o f the battery. T h e boat swamped and a ll aboard perish ed. This was the o n ly serious casualty, but m any Russian soldiers were fall ing on both sides o f the river. The Turkish gunners clung to their guns with wonderful staunchness amid Three hundred Mormon converts pris arrived in N e w York from Europe, Saturday. — The gross value o f the produce o f the Canadian fisheries last year, is Stated at $21,147,600. — The director o f the U . S. mint believes there w ill soou be a relaxa tion in the European demand for gold sufficient to allow resumption in the United States. The Turkish infantry soldiers have a salary o f $1 per month and tobacco. The Sultan talks o f reduc ing. The soldiers a ll cry— take the dollar, but leave the tobacco. — The details o f the St. Joh n ’s fire show it to have been in propor tion as great a calam ity as that at Chicago. Sooner or later these great 4res come to every city in Am erica where buildings are soi largely of The railroad war between the great trunk lines to the W e s t is vir tually ended. The fast trains from Chicago have been discontinued, the passenger and freight rates restored to about the former scale, and the old order o f things re-established. — The latest estimate o f the loses by the St. John fire, places the fij at a little over twenty m illion dollars. In the list o f insurance companies on ly three in the U n ited States are named, and their losses are set down at about six hundred thousand dol- — The sale of the IJew York and Oswego M idland Railroad, advertised to take place at Middletown, June 29tb, has been again postponed until January 4th, 1878. The object o f the .postponement is to enable the court to settle some questions o f pri ority o f claims which hare arisen. — A man in prison stretphed Jhis hand through the grating o f -the ja il door in L iberty, M o., recently, and married a young lady on the steps o f the building. H e had been impris oned a year for obtaining money un der false pretences. The bride re turned to her home and the groom to his cell. ish monitor had been hemmed in by a cordon o f torpedoes, and within tbe channel o f an island opposite Yardan and the Russian batteries on the R o u manian side shelled her. first the Ti the upper slopes in front o f their bat tery, and then came down on the pickets o f General Y o lchim ’s brigade and made some headway, but o n ly for a moment. Soon afternoon the R u s sian infantry had crowned the bights. A Turkish infantry detachment tried u p a n d .d o iwn but was thwarted by intercepting a to. work i lo upon Sistoria, skirmishing force. A hundred thous and men w ill march in the column, which is now crossing. A dispatch from Nikopolis says The Russians attempted to cross the river here, Thursday, on 50 lighters. THE TW E E D MATTER. Attorney-General Fairchild is in Cazenovia, Madison county, bis for mer home, and there, in consultation with his father, Sidney T . Fairchild, is said to be preparing a letter to Governor Robinson, touching the Tweed case. O f coarse we shall await, with whatever p atience we may be able to exercise, what Mr. F a ir- child has to say in refutation o f the charges made against him by Mr. Townsend, before joining in his con demnation, but that refutation should not be delayed a moment beyond the time necessary for its preparation. One thing, however, we can say, and it is t h i s : Secretary o f State Bigelow’s “ recrudescent” defence of the Attorney-General seems to us to both ill-considered a n d illogical. The only reasonable excuse that we can see for Mr. Bigelow’s statement that Tweed has $ 2 ,000,000for investment in street railways in Madrid, is the more probable rumor that a similar sum has been “salted away by the ex- “ boss” for the purchr— ^ ------- Spain I After the lame and impotent][“ex- planation” o f Mr. B igelow , the desire for a full and complete statement from Mr. Fairchild him self is a ll the g reat er among the people generally. W e trust that it m a y not transpire, as with the boy and the overturned load of hay, that anybody's “dad” is un« der the load.— Waiertown B m n i o n , 9 o f a castle in T h e M ex ic a n B o e de r T roubles , — The firm demand o f Secretary Evarts for peace and order on the R io Grande already bears fruit.— President D iaz has sent General T r e vino to the border, with instructions to co-operate with General O r d ; and the latter telegraphs that he has had a friendly conference with the M e x i can commander. General D iaz, the present President of M exico, at once accepted the n otice o f ourgovernm ent that it would pursue the robbers across the line, and offered to help in their apprehension as far as he was able. Since then his forces have chased some revolutionaries into T ex as and there fought a battle with them, and i t is not probable, w hen D iaz takes such liberties with our soil, he will be foolish enough to com plain i f our troops follow the cattle thieves and hang them on M exican ground. T h e people o f the U n ited States de sire th e prosperity o f the -neighboring R e p u b lic; but they do not mean any longer to tolerate border robberies, and they are justly indignant at the foolish and vainglorions language usf ed by M exicans who do not even date their needless protests from M exican soil,— HERE AND THERE.

The S even S eai :.! caoions when — A Pennsylvania Dutchm a n , who married his second wife soon after the funeral o f the first, was visited with a two hours’ serenade in token of dis approval. H e expostulated patheti cally th u s : “ I say, poys, you ought to be ashamed o f y o u rself to be m a x ing a ll dis noise ven dar vas a funeral here so soon.” ^— M onday o f last week a furious wind and rain storm passed from the central portion o f Missouri o ver Iowa, Illinois, W isconsioD, M ichigan, I n d i ana and Ohio. Telegraphs, crops and buildings were destroyed, railn bridges were carried away, trees up rooted, and general desolation follow ed its course. The dam age in Chi cago, chiefly in broken glass, amounts to $20,000. A t B e a r Grove, Iow a , several dwellings were blown down. A t A ledo, HI,, a church was totally destroyed, and at Oneida, in the same State, $50,000 worth o f property was instantly destroyed. Several persons are reported killed by the storm, at Cincinnati. A train o f cars was blown from the track at K a n k a k ee, 111. — Eleven men were hanged in Pennsylvania Thursday for murder. Ten o f them were members o f the M o lly Maguire organization, by which their crimes were instigated. A t Pottsville s ix were executed— two at a time ; Thomas Dufiy, James Carrol, James Roarty, James Doyle’and Hi McGeehan, convicted o f complh in the murder of R. R, Yost, Tamaqua policeman, and Thomas M unley, one o f the murderers o f San- r and W illiam U r en, a t Raven Rui Mauch Chunk, M ichael Doyi - l e and Edward K e l l y were hanged for the murder o f the mine boss, John P . Jones, at L a n sford; also A lexander Campbell and John D o n o h u e for the murder o f M organ Pow e ll, another mine boss, at Sum mit H i ll , Carbon County, Decem b er 2, 1871.’ These four were executed at the same time. A t W ilkesbarre Andrew Lanahan was hanged for the murder o f John K iley in September, 1874. Speeches were made on the scaffold by four o f the doomed men, but no assertions of gnilt or innocence were made. There wBs no disorder, though the crowds were v ery large. NEW YORK MARKET.

DESIRABLE VILLAGE LOTS, (originally forty-two^n a 1874 atgreat expense.in order to afford additional building facilities in the village of Herkimer, Location of Lots. Che western terminus of “ Eastern Avenue.” called, upon which the lots are located, is aoout ten rods southerly of the New York Cen tral and Hudson River Rail Road, and about eight rods easterly of the Herkimer Hydraulic Gacal, and distant but a few rods from the Her- kimer Depot. The lots’ are sufficiently far from the Rail Road to avoid tho noise and bustle of the cars. S I Z E O P L O T S . The lots are each fifty feet wide, front and rear, and one hundred and twenty-one and one-half feet deep, and laid out at rleht angles to ** East ern Avenue,” which is fifty feet wide and run ning in a ripfht line its entire length: or in other words, ** as straight as a gun barrel/^ Extension of “Eastern Avenne.” “ Bastorn Avenue’* has boon extended by or der of the President and Trustees of the village of Herkimer and opened through to Washington street, thus affording an additional advantage to the desirableness of tho lots. When this exten sion is graded and the Hydraulic Canal bridged at its intorseotion.the lots in question can be ap proached from the village either by tho King’s Road or by Eastern Avenue Extension. AS AH INVESTMENT. While Life Insurance Companies and Savings Banks are tottering and tumbling down and go ing into bankruptcy, and while the stability of a great many monied institutions is in question, nothing now offered on the market in this vicin ity can afford so stable and reliable an invest ment, on a small scale, as the purchase of one or more of these lots, as they are sure to doable in value, at most, iu a very few years, ^ O X J j R 0 !
