The Tutkibh arms have met with a ernsbiug defeat iu Armenia, which may prove decisive of the result of the war in I that quarter. The fortress or Kars was taken by storm by the Russians on last Sunday morning, after a bloody contest which lasted during the whole or Saturday night. According to Russian accouuts, 300 cannon and a vast quantity of ammu nition aud military eto:es fell into their bands. The loss of the Tuiks is placed at 6,000 killed aud wounded and 10,000 pris oners, while that of the Russians is esti mated at 3,000 killed aud wouuded. This is the most disastrous reverse that has be fallen the Turks during the progress of the war, and it is difficult to see bow it will prevent the Russians from obtaining com plete mas:ery in Armenia after the fall of Krzeroam, which must speedily follow.

Lieutenant Wood, AssUtaut Adjutant General to Geueral Howard, was present at the surrender of Chief Joseph to General Miles and made a verbaiim report of the speech delivered by Joseph.

A SPECIAL PHF.9ENTMKNT BY THE AI.LH GHENT COCKTT OKAND JUIIY. Pitt6bi;ro, Nov. 19. The grand jury, which has been investigating the riots of July last in this city, and of which Jas. P. Hai r, Eq., of the J'ot, is foreman, made a (tpecil presentment to the court this morn ing, giving tie iesult of their inquiries. The document is veiy lengthy, and gives a detailed history of 4the events preceding and subsequent to the acts of violence. It says the grand jury have been unable to trace the proclamation calling out the ttate troops further than to the authorities of the Pennsylvania railroad, and assert at the tin-.e it ai iKKiied Governor llaitranfl was (lumbering in his car in Utah territory. They assert that the raiiro-.id, officers were importuned tint to resort to harsh measures, but the advice was not heeded. They Mated that the testimony is conclusive that Philadelphia scldieia hied without oiders after a pistol shot from the crowd, and de nounce the act by which twenty-two citi r.ens were iiiled as unauthorized, wilful and wanton killing, which can be called by no milder tetm than murder. They ay the whole military operation was a blunder from beginning to end, and exhibited a pitiable absence of training and executive ability worthy of a commander-in-chief who selects major generals for their political or social rather than their military qualifica tions. The occupation of the round h-.nse is characterized as a lamentable mistake, and the retreat of General Hiintou's forces, and the fleeing of ihe state officials to Beaver, are severely criticised. The grand jui' claims that the citizens after leiig basely deserted by the military put down the riot and res-ored order, and the subsequent military occupation of the city long after ail danger bad passed, was intended as a threat to the citizens and a mark of con tumely to the county. They say the mar tial achievement un.ler the lead of the governor have only their parallel in the military feat of the French king who marched his party up bill and theu down again. The Pennsylvania railroad company in severely criticized for massing cars here when they knew interruptions existed, and the presentment reflects severely upon the governor for refusing to give information which would have enabled them to give more precise information. That it is not more precise they say is due to the fact that the grand jury has been thwarted openly and privately in it inquiry by those to whom the whoie truth should have been a welcome vindication. Its suppression compels the opposite conclusion. The doc ument throughout is very bitter in tone, and while it deuounccs the leaders of the military, endeavors to defend the citizens against the charge of beiug in sympathy with the rioters. One of the swindlers who advertise remedies for consumption free of cost, but with pietended disinterestedness offer to send the ingredients for $3, has been ex posed in Philadelphia. His room was lit tered with letters that had enclosed money, and two women were hard at work getting circulars and packages of the nostrum ready for the mail. The peculiar wicked titss cT this swindle lay in the character of the misfire Sent, of which a physician said : "This wonderful remedy is virtually hasheese, the primary effect of which ia exhilarating, but its conlimied use is highly injurious and debilitating, The system of a weakly patient once accustomed to its use must have it, or, ceasing to use it, will rapidly fail. In other words, its habitual use is almost, if not quite, as pernicious as the opium habit." TTon. John TrTjIkkt, says a correspond ent of the Oil City Derrick, enters npon bis new office of Supreme Judge in January, holding bis first court in Philadelphia. His term will continue for twenty-one years, with a salary the Legislature many vary at times, but likely to average eight thousand dollars. Alike as an upright Judge, an ex emplary citizen, a consistent church-member and a zealous teacher in the Sabbath School, his duties have ever been performed with consctentions fidelityand be baa made for himself a record unsullied by a single blot. Saturday was the 103d anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Fanny Ferry, of West Hempfleld township, Lancaster county, the oldest pei son iu the county and one of the oldest in the country. She was born No vember 16, A. D. 1774, on the fxim owned by Mr. Jacob Seitz, near the village of Mountville. Sbe removed, wheu she was married, to tbe farm ueaiar Columbia, where she resides to this day. Her first and only husband died forty-three years ago ; ber only surviving sister, now 76 years old, resides in Ohio. Terrible Trageay in a Church. a WOMAK PHOT BY HEK.J HUSBAND IN A liOCSE OK WOKSHIP. PjtTr.ADEi.pni A, Nov. 19. A tragedy without a parallel in the hiwory of this or any other city's crime was enacted in the Lombard street Protestant Kpiscopal Church yeMeiday. The congregation had assembled, and the pastor had begun the sermon, when a man of genteel appear ance, but with a wild, uncertain eye. en tered the chuich and sat down in one of the rear pews. The interruption which his entrance caused was but slight, and be fore the sermon was concluded his presence was forgotten. When the benediction was about to be pronounced, however, he jump ed to his feet and walked to a pew directly behind the one occupied by Mrs. Klizabeth Sayres. lie hesitated for a moment before entering, but finally went in and assumed a reverential air until the bles-sing was concluded. No sooner had the last words of the min ister died away than the stranger quickly drew a Derrinuer pistol from Ms pocket, and taking deliberate aim, shot Mrs. Sayres In the back. There were screams of alarm from the women iu the church, and the men, as soon as they could recover from the paralysis which seemed to be upon them, rushed to where the lady had fallen. The man who had fiied stood still for a moment and looked npou his work, and then coolly returned the weapon to his pocket and walked rapidly out of the building. Only one gentleman a Deacon, George Miller had the pre6euce of mind to follow him. When the assassin quitted the building he walked rapidly toward Eleventh and Lombard stieets, where he was overtaken and arrested by his pursuers, who recog nized the man as Alexander B.

A confirmation of the strange report that a shower of fish had fallen on the fourth concession of Harwich township is giveu by a school teacher of the neighborhood, who, in a letter to the London FVee Press, testifies to what he saw as follows : "Having dismissed the children Tor the day, I was returninir to my boarding- place, when, with a side irlnnce, 1 discovered something in the grass. At first 1 thought it was 6omespecies of rattlesnake, hutupon more en refill scrutiny i found it was a fine, tlrm, fresh fish of the nick ers I species. Having been bronrrht up at ibe sea-shore, 1 knew at once tbe tish was rood, and picked it up, while wondering whence it came. My astonishment whs increased, how ever, when, stepping on a row yards further. I found another equnlly rood. A few steps fur ther, and one more, and then 1 1 bought I ought to return to the school-room for some paper In which to wrap them. On entering the room I seised (rather thoughtlessly you will say) one of the pails, and proceeded tocollect. fish, 'ben I had more than haif titled the pail I saw a man In the distance carrying some fish, and, supposing the mystery was about to be solved, awaited bis approach. I dropped the pail and felt somewhat guilty for having appropriated the fish till relieved by his assuring me that he bad gathered up those he had in the same way, aud that tie had Just been culling the largest of them. He observed, 'These are as Rood and fresh as money could bey.' I filled tbe pail, not only to the brim, but up to the whole height of tbe baudle, RDd having depos ited my biiriinn, naturally, in the rarni-house where I hoarded. I returned to collect tbe re mainder. When I had finished my takk 1 as sure you that I felt fatigued. The work had occupied half sn hour. Tnls fall of fish ex tended about three-quarters of a mile. On the same evening one of the maids was sent for the cows to a Held about half a mile from mv boarding-place. She also returned ladrn with fish that she had picked up in a similar way. this girl if-ported that she had left others be hind her wbicb she could not conveniently car ry to the house. The lady, with her maid, pre pared the fish the same evening for drying and they weie subjected to this process next day. Tbe circumstance, you will admit, is unique, apart from its strangu surroundings, and I can not but think tbe correspondent of tbe Hon. deau A'euw did not err much in reporting ft. As to whether these now famous fishes felllx I eet or six thousand, I know not. One thing I know, that they were scattered for a distance of about threr-qutii lets of a mile, and ttiat. at least to my knowledge, three persons a there! them." J"it'i ana i finer JS'otlngs.
