Faith Preserved In England. Became Queen. Protestant Anne Now, a strange thing occurred; hero was an imperial army, sent to co-operate with the forces of the Netherlands, but had orders at the same time not to engage in any battle. It seems that the French king had privately bought Leopold's minister Lobkowitz into Ins service, and so the great un dertaking was frustrated. The German army acting only on the defensive' Marshall Turenne turned his forces into the Pala tinate, laid waste the whole coun try, and burned every habitation in his way, and that accomplish ed, ho crossed over into Prancon ia, and served that country in the same way. These acts brought about a change in the imperial court, minister Lobkowitz was dismissed, and war declared up on France. The Elector of Bran denburg rushed to the assistance of the Prince of Orange, and with their combined iorces, withstood Marshall Conde in the bloody bat tle of Senef, with such fortitude, that the result was greatly in favor arid to the honor of the Dutch ar.dGermau forces. 1074. About this time also, the English Parliament induced the king and his ministers to put an end to the Dutch war, which Tromp and Ruyter the great Dutch sea he roe , had carried on to such great loss to Euglaud, and paid to the Netherlands a nice sum of money as an iudemnity. Upon this fol lowed the battle of Sassbach, where a cannon ball killed Mar shall Turenne, and the French army retreated across the Rhine river, to its left bank. With Tur enne the real spirit of this great cam paign had perished and Conde, 'also, crippled with rheumatism, retired, from active service, and died ten years afterward. But the Dutch had also sustained the loss of the great De Ruyter, he being killed in a sea battle against the French, at Messina, 1G76. About this time Lorns XIV. par suaded Sweden (his ally) to invade the elector's own state Branden burg, from thenorth(Pomerania). This brought on the battle of Fehrbellin, where the Swedes were routed, and the city of Stet tin, and the greater part of Pom erania came into the hands of the elector. In the meantime, the Dutch and Danish fleet, possess ed themselves of Rugec and Goth laud. These battles laid the foundation of the greatness of Prusia. ' After this, the war was carried" on chiefly in the Netherlands it self, where William III. who now had been inaugurated as perma nent stadtholder (the office to be hereditary in his family for ever) withstood the much larger forces , of the French commanded by Luxemburg, Crequi, Shomburg, Vanban and Catiuat. As William was now a highly honored ruler, and a commander of high rank, his marriage to Mary, daughter of the Duke of York, brother of Charles II. king oi England was no surprise. As this union bound England and the Netherlands -closer to each other, it appeared that England would now really become an ally of Orange, and thus increase the the enemies of France. This pre pared the miud of Louis to seek for pence, and put an end to thg war. Satisfying tle Netherlands with concessions so that they laid down their arms, Louis brought about the "Peace of Nimeguin," in which the Frouoh gave back to the Netherlands, all the con- quered provinces, but Germany and Spain suffered loss by the agreenieut, Louis over-reaching them.1 The elector also had to give back all conquered territory, 1079. . - It is not out of place here, to Three Won "Permanents." In the Intermediate room of the Public School building in this place last Thursday and Friday, Miss Estello Logue, Prof. B. C.

As Charles II. of England had no children, at his death, his broth er, the Duke of York, father ot Mary, wife of Prince Orange, be came king as James II. so Mary became the' prospective heir to the throne of Eugland. Now as James II. aimed to get rid of the "Test Act" and make Catholicism the state religion, and as William of Orange had openly expressed nis disapproval of the king's course the people of Euglaud invited the Priuce to come over to England and help them to preserve tho Protestant faith. Accordingly William with a small force landed on theEnglish shore. His ships carried the English flag with tho inscription 'The Protestant faith and the liberty of England. " Unopposed he en tered London in triumph, for James II. had (led the country. The throne was proclaimed va cant, and William and Mary the rulers of England. Yet, James came back to regain his throne, and the great battle at the Boy no was tho result, but William be came the victor, and Ed gland stayed Protestant, 1089. William and Mary died without childreu, no Anne, ulster of Mary, became Queen of England, 1702 WILL SOON BEGIN WORK.! Prominent Man Says South Ponn Ex tension Is Sure. ALL RIGHTS. OF WAY SECURED. Work Will lie Commenced at the Tunnel, Where Considerable Money Will Have to lie Impend ed to Repair Damage Wrought by Time. From lli-rifiml Iliiulvr. Tho Hawkeye learns from a source which is regarded as be ing entirely reliable, that work on the Sduth Ponn Railroad will be commenced at an early day and that it will be pushed as rapidly as possible to completion. Since the confirmation of the sale ut Geigar Statiou, a few weeks' ago, Baltimore aud Ohio officials have been giving a large amount of time and attention ttAhe matter of beginning tho construction of the line. Difficulties which stood iu the way, it is reliaoly state .1, have been removed, and there is nothing now to prevent th.H com pany from making rapid progress in the work of preparing tho grade and laying down the rails. The iuformaut of the Hawk eye, who is uot a resident of Bed ford county, says that consider able tracts of land have been pur chased by tho Baltimore and Ohio along the Soutli tmn route. Since the company became the owner oT the lands in question tho persons occupying them have been compelled to lease from mouth to mont.i. This is taken as conclusive evidence that there is to be no delay in tho beginning of operations. Some tenants, it is learned, have not thought of putting iu crops-, knowing that they were likely at any moment to receive orders to vacate their premises. The leases given by tho company are so drawn that notice to Surrender the land is all that is needed to secure immedi ate possession of it. Some of the tenants may uot be disturbed for months, but their tenuie is un certain and word to move may be sent to them at any time. Hence many persons are looking out for homes elsewhere. Not long since the statement was made by a gentleman having charge of an important branch of the construction work, that he expected tho road to be completed and trains running over it within two years. This meaus that the line is to bo opened from the starting point, which, it is said, will be in the neighborhood of Rockwood, to Hancock. Tho most difficult work to be done is that of completing the tunnel, which has been badly damaged by the lapse of time. When the South Penn project was abandon ed the big hole through the moun tain had been more than half com pleted. Much of the earth on the sides, however, has fallen in aud a great deal of labor aud thous ands of dollars will be required to clean it out. The distance from the moun tain to Mauu's Choice is not groat and it is expected that the grad ing on that stretch will be com pleted before the hole is bored through the hill. From Mt. Dal las to Hancock is said to bo about thirty miles and by the time the grading between those two points has been completed the tuunel will have been made ready for tho rails. What changes will bo made be tween Mann's Choice and Mt. Dallas has not beeu learned. It has beeu rumored for some time, however, that another lino of rails will be laid d wn on the Pennsyl vania's right of way and that mauy of tho sharp curves be tween thoso two points will bo straighteued. Mr. Uriah W. Kline, who had been spendingabout seven months visiting his sons.Johu, Marliu, and George, aud brothers Peter aud Abram iu Ohio returned home last week, and spent Monday in McConuellsburg. He enjoyed hia frip very much, but he says "I seo better wheat and grass in old Pennsylvania thau anywhero in Ohio." MAD DOQ AT LARGE. j iWasinMcConnellsburgLaMSundayMorn.

McConncllsburg, 5; Hancock, 4. The home team defeated Han cock's all star aggregation gath ered from Maryland, Virginia, aud West Virginia in a hotly con tested game Monday aftornoou. Tho visitors were accompanied by a large crowd of rooters who covered themselves with all kinds of ribbons and drove out to tlie lield with horns blowing and pen nants Hying. In the first iuniug with two men on bases, Thomp son hit to right field for 2 bases securing 2 runs; 3 more were se cured aud Hancock could not over come this load. Eubanks of Cum berland pitched for the visitors aud was hit at will by tho local team; on tho other hand, Wagner was a puzzle to the southerners, and with proper support, would have secured a shutout. Hau cock's third baseman deliberate ly tripped Roy Wagner in the Dth inning and should have been put out of the game for rowdy ball playing. Our team wishes to thank the merchants of the town for closiug their business places duriug the game, aud, also to thank the whole town for the splendid attendance. Albert Jackson Raker.
