The Story of a Centenarian. There is a respect which is due to fulness of days which may not be denied whenever there is an opportunity to testify it. The completion of a century in the life of a man or. woman is one of those occasions, and well may we seek out our centenarians to do them honor on the hundredth anniver- sary of their birth. Such an occasion has just taken place at Holderness, N. H., in the celebration of the centennial birthday of Mrs, Hannah Cox. Thongh full of years this venerable lady is still in the possession of all her faculties, physical and mental, and sometimes exhibits all the playful humor of her younger days. Though her life has been an uneventful one there is still a singular interest attaching to the story of one who has lived so long and seen and heard and felt so much, To live in the world fora hundred years isa mystery almost as great as life itself, and we cannot contemplate the story of one who has gone through a century of trial and respect, pain and pleasure, without feeling the awe which prolonged existence inspires in a younger generation. The story of Mrs, Cox's life which we print this morning, together with the comments of her pastor on the les- son of along life well spent which accom- pany our account of the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of her birth, will be read with interest and profit by all who rev- erence the sanctity of old age.

[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Lonpon, July 11, 1876. The news from the seat of war in the Kast this morning is somewhat more favorable to the Servians than it appeared possible yesterday morning. In the northwest they are before the Bosnian township of Novavarosh. In the east the Turks have not fol- lowed up their victory at Saitchar, but have with- drawn over the River Timok into Turkish territory. TCHERNAYEFP’S POSITION SAFR. In consequence of this the fears which were en- tertained that the position of General Tchernayeff was imperilled on the flank and rear have sub- sided. THE KEY OF THE WAR, Tho great point to which attention is now turned, and which will probably be the turning point in the war, is the main body of the Servians under Tcher- nayeff. THE OBJECTIVE POINT. His course is directed along the Morava River to- ward Nisch, that town being his objective point. "WHERE THE TURKS FAILED. It was conjectured that if the Turks had followed up their successes at Novi-Bazar and Saitchar, Tcher- nayeff would have been forced to retire on Alexinatz. SBRVIAN PRECAUTIONS, It'is said that in anticipation of such an eventual- ity the Servians had posted 120 guns at Deligrstz, near Alexinatz, for the purpose of covering Tchernayeff’s retreat. THE SERVIAN MAIN FORCE. Tchernayeff’s force is estimated at 40,000 men. NIZZA. ‘There are some Asiatic troops at Nizza, which is a point of great strategic importance, the Turks having the greatest advantage there, on account of fortifications erected during recent years and de- fended by 100 heavy cannon, sixty-five of which are steel cannon, of Krupp's celebrated model. THE TURKISH COMMANDER, The Standard’s correspondent at Constantinople, teiegraphing on Saturday, said that no important movement would be made by the Turks until About Kerim, Commander-in-Chief of the army, should have reached the army, which he did on Sunday. SULIEMAN PACHA. Kerim is too old, has little knowledge of military service, but is accompanied by Sulieman Pacha, Di- rector General of the Military College, who has re- ceived a European military training. THE TURKISH TROOPS. It is stated that there are 40,000 Turkish troops in and around Nissa. This is probably an under-esti- mate, as the Turks have hitherto kept secret the number of troops at any point, and fresh forces are being continually despatched from Constantinople, and these troops are full of enthusiasm or fanat- ieism. PANATIC MOSLEMS—NO MERCY. The Standard’s correspondent telegraphs:— “Troops, guns and stores of all kinds continue to be sent to the seat of war. The fecling against the Servians is very strong, and the fanatical passions of the Turks are now so thoroughly roused that the Servians, if beaten, must expect to receive no mercy.” SERVIA EXHAUSTING HER RESOURCES. The Servians, too, are drawing all their troops to General Tchernaiet!"’s army. The city of Belgrade is almost depopulated and is completely drained of troops, The oldest men of the reserves and the youngest of the recruits have been already called out to aid in the defence of the frontier against the public enemy. A GREAT DATTLE IMMINENT. The latest reports from the seat of war say that fighting is now going on around Nissa and you may | expect a report of a great battle any moment. THE IRON GATES OF THE DANUBE. The rumors in circulation about the attack of the Turkish gunboat fotilia on Belgrade can be easily seen to have no foundation in fact. The Iron Gates are impassable for ships drawing much water, and during the months of July and August, when the river reaches Its low water stage, the Danube Navi- gation Company use steamers drawing only three feet of water, and even at middle water level the passage is very dangerous, THE SERVIAN PORTIPICATIONS. Many points exist on the Servian bank of the | Dannbe fully commanding the stream, It is re- ported by the correspondent of the Standard that the Servians have thrown up strong fortifications at Belgrade and Semendria and in front of Ada Ralesi and that no possible chance remains for a coup de | main by the Turkish flotilla, THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE. Nothing definite is known of the result of the meeting of the two Emperors at Reichstadt, but it is generally assumed that incase the Servians are defeated by the Turks the assistance of Russia will | as we coniirm the other ministers and functionaries in | | tem capable of dispelling and compensating for these be given to the former, but that in the event of Servia being victorious Austria may take pos- Session of Bosnia and endeavor to destroy the germs of Sclavic empire south of the Danube. A GRAVE POSSIBILITY. 4 | A conflict between these Powers—Austria and Russia—is feared, notwithstanding Reuter’s asser- tion that in Vienna the impression prevails that all danger of the war being extended beyond its pres- ent limits in Europe is regarded as being averted. CONNT ANDRASSY’S HATRED OF THE SLAVS. It is tobe hoped that the rumors of Count An- drassy’s dismissal may prove true, for his hatred of Russia and of the Slavs in general unfit him for the position of guiding Austria in this crisis, TURKISH CENSORSHIP OF NEWS. The following, sent by the correspondent of the Standard, throws some interesting light:—On official news furnished by Turkey the press bureau informs the public that all bulletins of news from the seat of war which may be published by the newspapers, either in the body of the papers themselves or in Separate slips, and which do not bear upon the face of them that they are communicated by the Press Bureau must be liable to be regarded as fictitions, or at all events inexact. The Porte having thus done its best to cast doubt on all news not circulated by itself, 1t has for two whole days given no information whatever to the Journals, alleging that it has nothing of importance to com- municate, THE EFFECT. The result of this idiatic proceeding Is that count- less rumors of disaster and of the defeat of the Turks are in circulation, and that the markets are much depressed, \ TCHRRNAYEFF’S COMMUNICATIONS ENDAN- GERED—ANOTHER GERVIAN DEFEAT—PRE- PARING TO TRANSFER THE SERVIAN CAPTSAL, Paris, July 10, 1876, The evening papers here publish the following do- spatch:— “Semirs, July 10, 1876, “The Servians are in a perilous position. Teher- nayef’s line of retreat through the Nisava Valley is endangered by Kerim Pacha and Osman Pacha, The Servian commander Stratini Rothwich has been de- feated at Ak-Palanka and bas resigne:! his commission. The Servian headquarters in consequence of this re- verse havo been transferred for safety to Paratchin. Preparations are also making to transfer tho seat of government to Kragajewacz, Fighting is now going on near Nisch.’? DETAILS OF THE BATTLE ON THE 6rTH—LOSS OF THE SERVIANS—GENERAL ZACH SAID TO BE WOUNDED. Raavsa, July 10, 1876, Intelligence received here from Sclavonic sources says that in the engagement between tho Turks and Servians on the 6th inst. the Turks captured 450 mus- kets and forty boxes of cartridges. Seven Turkish bat- tallons participated in tho fight. The Turkish General Mehemed Ali Pacha is at Granitza, on the Servian frontier, half an hour’s march from Yavor. ZACH WOUSDED. The Servian Genoral Zach is stated to have been wounded in the late engagement, THE NEUTRALITY OF THE DANUBE. Bocnaxgst, July 10, 1876. The Primo Minister read im the Roumanian Chambor to-day a despatch announcing that Tur- key had acceded to Roumania’s request for the neutralization of the Danube on the condition that Koumania must prevent the supply of arms through her territory to the Servians, Turkey also requires as a condition for the neutralizas tion of the Danube that Roumania shali prevent the formation of armed bands witnin her borders to aid the Servians.

THE EASTERN QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT— DEBATE ON THE TURKISH OUTRAGES IN BULGARIA, Loxpox, July 10, 1876, In the House of Commons this afternoon Mr. Disraeli, in reply to a question by Mr. Jenkins, said that he had hopes that the correspondence on the Eastern question would be ready to be presented to Parliament at the beginning of next week. In reply to an inquiry of Mr. Forster, Mr. Disracli said the government had received nothing» further about the Bulgarian outrages than had already tran- spired, Mr, Foster, under a motion for adjournment, attacked the government, He said he believed the re- ports were true, and it was desirable that the country should know the government's policy, Messra, Ash- ley, Mundelia, Anderson and Watkins sapported Mr. Forster’s position. Mr. Disracli said:—“I do not deny that thero have been atrocities committed, but I believe that tho report is exaggerated.” EGYPTIAN TROOPS STARTING FOR TURKEY— TCHERNAYEFF SAID TO BE BE RETREATING— HOW THE CORRESPONDENTS WERE FIRED UPON.

They were mistaken for spies and fired upon by the Servians. Among them was the representative of a British journal, ——— TURKISH AFFAIRS.

Tho following is the official report in fall of the phys- felans who viewed the body of Abdul-Aziz after his death:— * In the year 1876, the 234 of May (June4, 11D, Jemazi-ul-ewel, 1203), on Sunday, at eleven o'clock AL M., we, the undersigned doctors im medicine, Marco Pacha, Nouri Pacha, Milligen (Jules), Caratheodory, Sotto, Dickson, Marrwin, Nouridyian, Spadaro (kj uard), Vitalis, Spagnolo, Mare Markel, Jatropoulo, Mil- uadi Bey, Abdinour Efenai, Servet Bey, Mehemet Bey tro (Jacques), were required by the Ministry, in accordance with the order trom His Imperial Ma- Jesty, to state the causo of the decease of the ex-Suluitn, Abaul-Aziz, and to that effect we proceeded to the Kuardhouse adjoining the imperial park of Toversgan, Tocre wo were introduced into a root on the ground floor, where we found a body lying on a mattress placed upon the floor, That body was covered with new linen cloth, Having litted the cloth we recognized the ox- Sultan, Abdul- KARANCE OF THE BODY. Every part of the body was cold and bloodless, The cadaverous rigidity was not apparent; tho eyelids were half closed; the cornea slightly opaque and the mouth partly opened. Some linen, biood stained, covered the arms and legs, ‘THE WOUNDS, The linen of the arms being removed wo perceived a little above the bend of the lett arm a solution of con tinuity of tive centimetres in length and of three cen- timeires decp. The edges of tho wounds were lacerated and irreguiar. Tho direction of the wounds was (rom upward, downward and from the inierior to the exterior, ‘The veins in that region were cut and the cubital artery Was opened to within threo-quarters ot its size, almost trom the point of ils issue, Upon the bend of the right arin we perceived a wound slightly oblique, sinilarly lacerated, of two centimetres in length and of one contimetre deep. Upon that side the mijury is oaly upon the small veins; tho arteries wero intact. THE PATAL SCISSORS. We were shown a puir of scissors of ten centimetres long, very eharp, and one of the blades has a hile lateral knob near the top, These sbissors are bloody, and it is with that justrament, as we were told, t ihe Jate ox-Sultan Abdul-Aziz inflicted upon his person the above described wounds, Wo then proceeded to the residence of tho late ex- Sultan, where we were led into a largo room looking toward the sea, There we saw a pool of blood upon the corner of the sola near the window and upon the matting ofthe tloor; alsoa great quantity ol coagu- lated blood in a single mags, besides wevernt stains of the same in tho vicinity.

PRIEST INDULGES IN A FREE YIGHT WITH ONE OF HIS PARISHION- EKS—A GENERAL KNOCK DOWN IN THE CON- GREGATION. Camoriver, Masa., July 10, 1876, A most disgraceful sceno occurred im St, Mury’s Catholic church early yesterday marin, the parties being Mr. William Reardon on onesfde and a couple of clergymen and their {riena$ on the other, The trouble grew out of what is regarded by many parishioners as an arbitrary rulo prohibiting the use of tans during tho service, The ladies of the family of Alderman Reardon re- fused to comply with the rule, in which they were sus- tained by Mr. Reardon, and yesterday morning, shortly boforo the beginning of mass, Father Scully, tho pastor, approached the pew in which be was and ordered him to Jeave the church, Reardon refused, and Officer Parks was called upon to put him out. Reardon refused to allow the eflicer to put his bands ou iim aniess he had a warrant, aud the officer hesitated about bis right in the premtses. Father Scully then, it is said, went t» thealtar, and after the officer had signi- fied a willingness to take hold of Reardon if any person would aid him, calied upon some one of tho congregation to como torward und help bim in the work. None coming forward, he then, it 18 asserted, rolled up the sleeves of his cissock, and, coming down the aisle, seized hoid of Reardon, with tho officer, and pulled the man down the passage. AG ERAL ROW ENSUES, Then occurred a sccne of great excitement. Reardon struggled fariously and several men jumped to the as- sistance of the clergyman and the officer. Reardon, in his struggles, was finally knocked down, after receiving several blows from these men, among them, it ts said, one James E, O'Rourke, a special police officer, who, for his pains, received a severe blow from somo person, During the squabble several Indios fainted.
