a Glance at the Past--pattles in Europe.

AS a matter of interest, at present, we
give the following result of desperate bat
ties fought in Europe since 1912:

before that of Waterloo the allies lost S.
200 men, and the French III.
At Waterloo the total loss of the allies
was 1865 men. Napolcon's was about
10000. Neither the Austrians nor Prus-
SLAMS can derive much encouragement from
history to engage III war with France
The French troops have only been matched
in these wars by c-Englsh, the Spaniards
and the Russians-scarccly by the last ma

upon the Austro- Italian province of Lom-
hardy and the Duchess of Parma. On the
north it is bounded by the Gulf of Genoa,
and on the south by Switzerland. The riv
er Ticino, flowing through the lake May
gore, forms the boundary line between Sar-
dinia and Lombardy, while the Alps scpa-
rate the former from France. The scat of
war, therefore, may be regarded in its gcn-
eral aspect as broad piece of territory, be.
tween chain of mountains and river
The French had to cross the mountains,
the Austrians the river; and the distance
between them was about one hundred miles
Piedmont is traverscd in its breadth by
the wipdings oft river Po. To the south
of the stream Piedmont borders on Parma,
and to its north only on the hostile territory
of Lonbardy. These two divisions of the
Sardinian kingdom differ totally in. their
natural characters. 10 the north of the
rivcr-thc district Immediately exposed TO
the Austrans--allis is a level plain up to the
foot of the Swiss Alps, whereas on the south
crn side is all mountainous, and the whole
space is filled With the shoots or spurs of
the l4igurian Appcnincs sloping away from
Genoa. In this division of the kingdom
lie the strong places of the Sarliniuns.
Alcssandria, Casalc, and Tortouo, aud
on its western edge stands Turin itself, the
capital of the State. Within or around
these fortresscs the Sardinians have collpc-
ted the bulk Of their army, leaving the
plains of the north comparatively open to
the incursions Of the enemy.

FESTIVAL OF THE GERAAN TuRNERs.-A
happy company of our German population, of
both sexes and all ages, met at Briney Hall
last night, and prolonged their genial and SIM
pie festivities until late hour. Dancing, mu-
sic, addresses, and gymnastics, each had its
place in the order of the evening. Early in
the evening the Turner's, numbering about
thirty, assembled together, and Mrs. Henry, in
behalf of the German ladies' of Worcester, pre-
sented them with rich silk banner costing
$3.50 The President of the turnverein, Mr..
Wunderlich, expressed the thanks of the mem
bors for this beautiful gift, and the Turner'S
welcomed it by giving three gut heiiS. On one
side of the red silk banner is the device OF the
American shield, around which appears in
scriptions in German, signifying that it was
gift to the Worcester Turner'S society by the
German ladies of this city, On the reverse
was an oak wreath, wrought in green silk, Ell
circling the word "Bahntrei )" while in the
four corners were the words 'ffresch, "trei,'
''froh," stark, all significant of the attributes
that ougln to characterize the Turner'S organ
ization. The staff was tipped with a spear Of
gold.
After song by the FrohSinn, an address ap'
propriate to the occasion was delivered by MIR.
Boenisch, secretary Of the Turnveren, or
Turner's society. He spoke Of the beautiful
Turner flag that had been presented, aud of
what it signifed That flag meant liberty and
brave manhood. The business of the Turner's
is TO cultivate men. The culture they promote
is bodily as well as mental for such culture is
needful to secure liberty and maintain it. While
the old Greeks maintained it carefully their free
dom was secure but when it declined among
them, Greece became prey to despots. Lu-
ther led movement for reformation and free
dom and gave a new impulse to the world.
And what people have done more for true cul-
ture than the Germans? He stated that the
German Turner institution was founded in
1885, by John Salzmann and Chrstoph Cuts
Muth John is reverenced as the father of the
institution. Its aim is to train men to noble
uses Its motto is ga sound mind in a sound
body" The spirit of liberty dwcls in the
heart of every Turner
The oration, which was excellent, and de-
liyered very handsomely was received with
much applause. 1t was spoken in German.
After season of pyramid building by the
gymnasts, dancing was again resumed, and
with the interruption of an occasional glee
sung by the Frohsinn, was long continued to
the excellent music of Arbuckle & Patz' quad
rifle band.
Mr.. Buebler gave the Turner's handsome
Transparency, on which was painted the God
dess of Liberty, with various appropriate en-
blems and texts. There were about eighty
couple present; and also a delegation from
the Turner'S Society of Natick.

FUNERAL OF REV. SAMUEL CLARKE.-The
burial services of the late Rev. Samuel Clarke
of Uxbridge took place from his church, on
Tuesday, 22d inst. The service was read by
Mr.. Ferry now preaching as a candidate in Tx
bridge, prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Ship
pen of Worcester, and appropriate remarks
were made by Rev. DR.. Hill of Worcester,
Rev. Messrs Boyden of Woonsocket, Ball of
Upton, and others. Notwithstanding the in
clement season, the attendance was very large.
We understand a funeral discourse will be Civ
ell by Rev. DIR. Hill at future day.
A correspondent furnishes the following ad.
dtional particulars of the obsequies of this esti-
mabe mani
The services commenced by an appropriate
and impressive chant, followed by the hymn
'Pastor thou hast gone and left u.s." DIR. Hill
of Worcester, in few subdued and pertinent
words, addressed the relatives and mourning
gregation-premising with the promise that
on another occasion he should speak more at
length on the character and worth of the loved
and lamented brother who had passed on to a
higher life. He then called upon Rev John
Boyden of Woonsocket, r. L., to address the
pebple MI. d., Ill Ills usual VEIN OF ueep
sympathy, pictured the life and services of a
devoted minister, in seasons of joy and grief,
and bore his testimony, as a neighbor and ac
quaintance, of the fidelity and worth of the de-
parted. Rev. Geo. L. Ball Of Upton then added
his deep and feeling testimony to the value of
such father and friend in the ministry,
as he had ever found in the dear pastor,
whose cold remains were lying so near the
pulpit he had so long occupied. Rev. Mr..
Shippen of Worcester, then offered a deeply
fervent prayer for the afflicted children and
desoate flock without shepherd. The hymn
commencing, "Unveil thy bosom faithful
tomb,'' was impressively sung in conclusion.
The body was placed in front of the pulpit,
and the children and large congregation were
permitted to take the last look OF beloved
father, pastor and friend The remains were
followed to the grave by numerous cortege
of the people who loved and honored the good
man, whose work on earth is finished.

RoGUEs ABRoAD.-The son of Deputy Sher-
iff Aldrich of Uxbridge was awakened last Fri
day,night, at an unusual hour, by the sight of a
lantern shining into his room, and appearing to
move in the direction of the barn. Mr. Al
drich was called, and went out with his pistol
which he usually carried as an officer, when
he was struck with club, receiving a severe
wound upon his head. He Immediately turn
ed and fired but the assailing party or parties
disappeared Immediately after the assault
On Monday night some mischieyous persons,
perhaps the same, visited the hen-roost of Ira
Parks in Northbridge, and robbed it of some
of his representative fowls.

FUNERAL OF Mr.. GRAY. = The funeral
services of Mr. John Gray will take place to.
morrow (Friday,) and his remains will be re-
moved for burial to Brooklyn, CT, where he
lived for many years. Mr.. Gray was the
librarian of the Young Mems Library Associ
alton from the commencement and was one
OF its warm and earnest friends. Cordially
we approve the following worthy tribute to
his memory made by gentleman who knew
his estimable personal qualities, and his fideli-
ty as an officer of the Association:
The very sudden death of Mr.. John Gray
has caused in this community, where he was
SO widely known and esteemed, feeling of
deep sorrow and sympathy with the ia nily

other member. Mr.. Gray was more intimate
ly known from his connection as librarian of
the Young Mems Library Association, which
place he filled with great acceptance from the
founding of the library to the time his DEATH
In all his intercourse with those who had oc-
casion to consult the library or frequent tho
reading room he was ever most courteous and

which should exercise a forming influence
upon the minds of the young and here his
loss will be deeply felt, for his influence was

ter the hope that Worcester would soon have a
public library. He had hoped to see the day.
For himself he was binding all his energies TO
the accomplishment of so desirable an object.
He had been connected with the Association SO
long that he seemed to have become part OF
it. Happy will it be if it secures the services
of one who will bring to il such genuine hear

The BALL OF THE LIGHT INFANTRY
Mechanics Hall was in blaze of glory last
night. Col Beals, after his elaborate and rich
decorations Of the interior, had yet material
enough left to adorn the street front, while
across the street was extended an arch of
colored lanterns. All the decorations that we
have previously described were displayed with
profusion and art that rendered the affair a
novelty in this city. Surrounded by cannon
and muSkct, battle pictures and patriotic de-
signs, the star spanged banner and innumer-
able streamers arching over them, the dancers
continued their labors till Thanksgiving day
There were about two hundred couple on the
floor, and good sprinkling of uniforms. The
galleries were filled with spectators. 1t was
very spirited and successful ball.
The music was by Goddard & Aldrich's
quadrie band-1S pieces; and Mr.. Marrs pre-
pared the supper.

The SoUTHwICK TRAGEDY.-The great
mystery that envelopes the Southwick tragedy
is as yet only in part removed. Mrs. Ho-
comb, the wife and victim, is still alive. but
with apparently decreasing prospects Of re-
covery. She has only at times had her con-
sciousness, and never as yet her full reason. 1t
has been impossible, therefore, to obtain from
her succinct statement OF the events immedi-
ately preceding the assault although her occa-
sional CALCULATIONS and halfspoken sentences
present the crime of the husband in its most
hideous features. Mr.. Holcomb has youn-
tarily returned, and is now under arrest. He
maintains however, towards others than his
immediate family, II studious silence on the
great points of the aiiair.-SpringfeH Repub

BURSHAM CAsE.-Yesterday, an order was
introduced in the House to liberate Burnham
from Jail, and discharge him from arrest
After little discussion, it was rejected by
vote of 38 yeas to 1873 nays. The mo-
ton to adopt the order came from Mr.. Nc
Lane of Plymouth There has been some at
tempt to get up little sympathy for Burnham
by representing that he has not been well
treated in Jail, being rigidly confined to prison
rules and prison fare. But it has failed entire
ly. Burnham has not deserved public sym
pathy, and he is nowise likely to get it, as the
few who undertake his defence will discover
before they proceed much further.

GOING HOME TO THANKsGIvING-The
trains and stages from all directions, yesterday,
were crowded with passengers returning home
to participate in the annual festival. The New
York train, due here at $50 p. NJ, was delayed
nearly three hours to crafty its large army of
passengers. Trains from the east were also
compelled to vary a little from their usual
punctuality. The stages which radiate to the
several parts of the county, found themselves
insufficient to meet the demand, and were
compelled to call in auxiliary aids. Seldom
has the home attraction seemed to be so nearly
universal as it is the present year. Much joy
may it bring them!
