The New York Press ON the Victories.

Lie new orK papers agree that the Situa-
ton of France is critical The Tribune saws
"The news from the Rhine this morning
may be summed up in two lines. The whole
French army is beaten and retreating. The
center is driven in, the right wing is turned
and cut off, and Napoleon calls upon France
to rise and sage the country"
The Times says:
1.-THE moment has come for the friends of
france in Europe, ii she has any, to declare
themselves. Without allies it is as clear as
the sun at MONDAY that France must be final
ly, hopelessly defeated"
The Herald says:
In spite of the moral advantages which
russia has won it is not yet safe to conclude
mat she must come out OF this struggle VIC
torlous. France is not yet defeated. In the
enemy's country Prussia may find it very
difficult to follow up her successes. The
French army still occupies splendid position,

hot weather still continues. The mercury is
ranging from 80 to 100, in the middle of the
day, and has for a long time. Statistics show
a higher temperature for the last three months
than has been recorded for quarter of a CEN
fury.
Grain is small grown and not well beaded
The kernel is light and pinched, there not

Corn and potatoes are looking finely in some

Averaging the appearance of different locali-
ties, there is a fair prospect for average crops.
Apples will be plenty if we are not visited
with winds and destructive storms. Orchards
are everywhere richly laden with fruit. There
is no growing crop which the farmers behold
with more pleasure than the apple crop, for
how can the long winter evenings be made
more agreeable, shortened and better enjoyed
than in the presence of the ''cideri pitcher aud

abundance. Huckcberries are also plenty. 4

About five years ago the Kiowas made a
descent into northern Texas and murdered
the parents of two little girls, named Fitz-
patrick, both of tender age, and carried the
little ones into captivity, holding them about
three years, when they were recaptured by
Col Leavenworth. and brought to Washington
where they were finally placed in the Protes-
tant Orphan Asylum.
On account of their tender age when cap-
tured, they had no recollection when regain
ed by Col. Leavenworth of their names, or
whether they had any relatives living, and
had no knowledge of their history. They
were given the names of Helen and Heloise
Lincoln.
Many exertions were made to trace their
history, and the present Commissioner of In

LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT IN CUBA.-A
reform has been introduced into Cuba which
though small in itself may have important
results. The latest reform, and one that will
produce great effect, has just been inaugu-
rated. Hitherto all places not enjoying the
title OF city or town have been governed by
Crown officer, called the Captain de Parti-
do, who combined the functions of police
magistrate. governor, county sheriff, mayor,
constable, coroner, assistant collector of con-
tributions registrar of births aud deaths, talk
er of the census, principal figure and high
functionary at religious professions, together
with any number of minor attributes, and no
Improvements could be inaugurated or nui-
sances abolished without his consent. In flu
ture all Captains de Partido will elect mayor
and aldermen, who naturally will decide as to
the amount Of money to be raised by taxation
and how to be expended. Local self-govern-
ment may pave the way for republican insti-
tutOas in Cuba.
