ing employes. Two proclamations were issued 

 by Governor Young, who, as Lieutenant-Go v- 

 ernor, had succeeded Governor Hayes on the 

 latter resigning to be inaugurated President of 

 the United States: one on the 20th of July, in 

 response to an application from the Sheriff of 

 Licking County, and the other five days later, 

 aimed chiefly at the strikers on the lines of rail- 

 road centring in Cleveland. In the former 

 case troops were sent to prevent the threatened 

 riots, but in the latter the law-abiding citizens 

 were called upon to organize themselves into a 

 volunteer police force. The result of this 

 prompt and judicious action was that the dan- 

 ger was averted without the loss of a single 

 life or the destruction of any property. (&ee

OKLOBJIO, IVAN DEMETBIYEVITCII, the com- 

 mander of the Russian Rion corps (see TURKEY), 

 was born in Dalmatia in 1816. He is the son 

 of an Austrian colonel, his name originally be- 

 ing Oklobtsio von Kuekburg. He received his 

 education in the military institutions of Aus- 

 tria, and afterward studied law in the Univer- 

 sity of Padua. He began his military career 

 in the service of Austria, but in 1846 entered 

 the Russian service as second-lieutenant. For 

 seven years he fought with great bravery 

 against the insurgent tribes of the Caucasus, 

 took part in 1854 in the siege of Silistria, and 

 in the following year was in Sebastopol during 

 the siege. After this he was for several yean 

 inspector of the Caucasian troops of the Hue 

 and military and civil governor of the Cau- 

 casus. In 1862 he was raised to the rank of 

 major-general, and afterward to that of lieu- 

 tenant-general. As such he received the com- 

 mand of the Rion corps at tin- beginning of the 

 war with Turkey. 



OLD CATHOLICS. In Germany, the Old 

 Catholics held their fourth synod in May, at 

 Bonn, under the presidency of the bishop of 

 the church, Dr. Reinkens. The synodal coun- 

 cil presented the draft of a service of general 

 confession, intended for congregational use for 

 holy communion. This service, though not 

 proposed as a substitute for private confession, 

 which is left to each man's conscience, is ex- 

 pected to largely supersede it. The service is 

 in the form of a litany, short, and generally in 

 the words of the Scripture. The synod adopted 

 the service and authorized the congregations 

 to use it. In regard to the question of the ab- 

 olition of priestly celibacy, tne synod resolved 

 by a large majority that the council should 

 ascertain what, if any, legal hinderances stood 

 in the way of the abolition, and should report 

 on this and on the various motions presented 

 to the next synod. The congregations were 

 permitted to use certain portions of the mass 

 service in a German translation, with the con- 

 sent of the synodal council. According to 

 the statistical report of the synodal council, 

 the number of ascertained, inscribed adherents 

 of the cause in Germany reached 58,640^ a 

 against 49,908 last year, an increase of 3,782.
