A FIERCE COMBAT.
An amusing incident occurred tbe
other day that reminded one of the war
cloud in the East. Carl Bader, the pop
ular market man, had a couple of gob
bler?, which he was trying to catch
when one of them took wing and flew
across the river. Soon after a game
cock spied him trenching on his territory
and Grecian fashion opened up his war
batteries on Mr Turkey at once. The
light was hot and furious on his part
but the turkey would make a dab at him
and getting him in limbo would wipe
the earth up with him round and round,
but the minute he let go, the cock
would return to tbe combat fiercer than
ever. At length the turkey seemed to
tire of the fun and started to fly back
across the river but dropped in mid stream
whereat Mr Gamecock seeing him set
tle in tbe water seemed to think he had
got him at a disadvantage and took
wing to pounce upon him, but missed his
mark and also dropped into the water.
The ice cold bath seemed to cool bis hot
blood and he turned tail aDd paddled
back to his domain while Turkey pad
dled on across tbe water, leaving the
Mediterranean between them both on
their own ground and neither of them
very much to crow over. Was it typi
cal? A. B.

the other night. He probably made
some lively sprinting when he heard the

poultry he bad secured and losing bis

WAREEN.
A LITTLE BIT OF RUSSIAN HISTORY.
Your corresponpent supposes that.THE
Newtown Bek is related to Tne North
ern Bee of Russia, which was establish'
ed in 1S25 by Gretch and Boulgarine
It is interesting to notice tbe fact that on
the day when Sebastopol was taken
June 18, 1855, that The Bee, officially
announced to Europe, "That the war
was becoming serious, and that Sebas
topol being destroyed, a stronger for
tress would be built." We men have
some conception of the strength of this
fortress, when we reflect that it was be'
sieged 328 days, when 874 guns thunder
ed upon it ; when in on day 70,000 pro
jectiles were thrown into the town, when
the Russians lost 18,000 men by the bom
bardment alone. The French had dug
50 miles of trenches and 4100 feet of
mines before one bastion alone.
This war cost the lives of 250,000
men. A congress met at Paris
February 25, 1856. There were repre
sented at it, France, England, Austria
Prussia, Sardinia and Turkey. Russia
was represented by Baron De Brunnow
and Alexis Orlof. Peace was signed on
the 30th of March, 1856. Alexander II,
was Czar. Alexander I died March 3
1855. It is interesting to see Europe
after 40 years, and notice the attitude ol
the powers to day, in the matter of Crete
and Greece. Can we say, must we not
say with Gladstone, "Shame on the
Powers 1" We look nearer home. The
fourth of March is past. On it, a new
President took the oath of office. On it
the 55th congress went out, and the 56th
began ; 108 year of our constitutional
history, have witnessed the installation
of the 25th President, Maj McKinley
May great prosperity attend his admin
istration as the Chief E xecutive of the
American Nation. We must now come
still nearer home. This excursion will
be pardoned. Bees are not restricted as
where they shall get their honey. They
must go where the flowers are and when
they are in b'oom, or their eff)rts are
vain.
Warren is a miniature country. Its
hills and valleys and lakes and
crystal streams, Its men and women
and children, constitute a part of the
wide domain, our country. What we
are doing here on a small scale, is being
done in every town in the country. Ou
winter schools are about to end and be
fore equinox, all will be closed.
Wilbur Wells goes to Kent to carry on
an Eaton farm.
William Welton is better, and there is
talk that himself and wife will go to a
milder climate for a few weeks, to es
cape the keen and piercing winds of
March and April. It will be, if at all, to
Florida in all probabilty.
Mrs Miner Strong is ill and under D
Marcy's care.
Mrs Humphrey is improving.
These things are typical of tbe whole
country. Some are well. Some are get'

May we not hope that the back-bone of
winter is broken, and that we shall soon
have the privilege of welcoming spring
with its ethereal mildness.

UNTOLD MISERY
Rheumatism
C. H. Xing, Water Valley, Kiss., cored fcy
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
"For five years, I suffered untold misery
from muscular rheumatism. I tried every
known remedy, consulted the best physi
cians, visited Hot Springs, Ark., three times,
spending $1000 there, besides doctors' bills;
but could obtain only temporary relief. My
flesh was wasted away so that I weighed
only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and
leg were drawu out of shape, the muse lei
being twisted np In knots. I was unable to
dress myself, except with assistance, and
could only hobble abont by using a cane. I
had no appetite, and was assured, by the
doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at
times, were so awful, that I could procure
relief only by means of hypodermic injec
tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged
In clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these
gave only temporary relief. After trying
everything, and suffering the most awful
tortures, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Inside of two months, I was able to walk
