TIN WEDDING.

Mn EsIron:-On last Monday evening
i was our pleasure to attend the tin we'd
ding of our friend and fellow tpwnsman
Wm. d. IL. Lingo, Esq. and his estimable
lady, who have spent together ten years
of happy welded life. Quite large com
pany assembled on the occasion to pay
their respects to the happy couple bringing
with them their gifts of tin ware, which
if not very ornamental will doubtless prove
highly useful. On entering the parlor,
we were presented to the Bride and Bride
groom, who received our congratulations,
with joy beaming in their countenances.
The Bride could not have looked more
charming on her wedding night, although
the only ornamentals that graced her per-
son, were very elaborate set Of tin jew
elry, consisting of Breast-pin, Earrings,
Head Band and Bracelets. But W hat added
most to her attractiveness, was a cluster
of Five Olive Branches, to which she can
point with maternal pride and say, in the
language of the Roman Matron, Cornelia,
These are my only ornaments these are
my most precious jewels" Of the Bride
groom, we have only to say he was en-
phatically VIM. j II. Lingo out and out
the ever genial friend and christian gen
tleman During the evening the company
was regalod with some delightful music,
Mrs. W. doing" Shoe Fly don't bodder
me" in charming style-Miss Ii. the
Little Brown Church" le our es-
teemed Host favored us with several ex-
quisits solos on his new organ presented by
friend on this occasion, the music being
his own composition with reference to this
event; his wedding march :" W hen Jonny
(Lingo) comes marching home" (from
work) with. tin rattle accompaniement-
filled his guests with astouishment and
delight About O'Clock the guests were
invited into the Banqueting room, where
was spread table which fairly groaned
beneath its weight of good things, and of
which all partook with hearty good cheer.
The following toasts were given: "The
Tin. may it turn to gold"--" Our Host
md Hostess, may they live to celebrate
their golden wedding and may all present,
live to enjoy with them its festivities. "
Our Host responded, by wishing that all
present might be SO situated as to be able
to celebrate their Tin Weddings no doubt
many responding in their hearts" So
mote it be-" About eleven o'clock the
company dispersed, leaving our friends to
the quiet enjoyment of their happy home,
and to enter upon the second decade of
their welded life, which we sincerely
trust, will prove even more bright and
happy than the first.

nine clock at night, aud beng repuissa
with heavy los and forced to retreat
Their retreat, however, was toward Chat
eau Dun, near the French centre. An
engagement had occurred on Friday on the
French right flank, near Montagis, and it
was necessary for Paladines, in sustaining
his ground, to uncover Chateau Dun, and
the latter place, it is though, has conse-
quently been captured. The repulse of
the Germans On both fanks was complete.
A general engagement is thought to be
impending. A correspondent at Tours,
states that fighting along tho whole line
on Sunday, the French carrying every
thing before them, and expresses the be-
lief that they have won a decisive victory
Intelligence from the Paris front through
German sources represents the prevalence
of continued quiet in that direction, owing
to the unfavorable weather, but there are
rumors at Tours Of grand sortie on
Thursday of last week The report of the
defeat of the Garibaldians at Pusyns on
Saturday last, and their disorderly flight
is confirmed by official dispatches from
General Warden.
A special despatch from Tours reports
numerous sharp skirmishes in the neigh
borhood of Orleans, all resulting in French
successes that the Prussian losses we're
very large, and nine guns that the Duke
of Mecklenberg had made an attempt to
occupy lie Mans, ,sin which he was foiled
having been opposed by a corps of fifty
thousand men.
The design of the French to resume. the
offensive, with Versailles as the objective,
is again foreshadowad. In an engage
ment near Montragis on Monday the
French claim to have been successful, but
the Germans allege that the French at
tack was repulsed, and that they (the
Germaus) captured 1000 prisoners. Prince
Frederick Charles directed the German
movements.
Intelligence from the Paris front through
German sources represents that two DEM
onstrations were made from the city on
Monday, and an assault in force on the
German lines on Tuesday, resulting in the
repulse Of the French with severe loss.
Count Bis marck is credited with having
taken the new and remarkable position
that the unconditional surrender of Paris
would not BE- accepted if offered; that the
capituiation would only be permitted on
condition of complete cessation of hostil-
tiles all over France-a military device to
annihilate the advocates of "war to the
ditch"
The fall Of Amiens, one of the principa!
cities in northern France, fully confirms
reported successes of the Germans in that
quarter Id the principal battle fought
before the city on Monday the French
lost one thousand in killed and wounded
and seven h lndred prisoners. King VII
Ham states that the German loss was com

Paris, has also been occupied by the Ger
man forces, having been uncovered by the
withdrawal Of the French troops. as in the
case of Am lens, to the army of the Loire.
The st. Ca ais occupied by the Germans
on Monday is small village near lie Mans,
of no special importance.
The announcement that Russia will sub
nit to conference of the powers her
wishes on the eastern question bas, for
the time at least, quieted the nerves of the
commercial world in England, but as a
political hobby the question of the neutral
ity of the Black sea promises to be as re-
leDtlessly ridden down as that of the Ala
bama claims Notwithstanding the firm
stand taken by leading members Of the
cabinet in favor of a peaceful solution of
the question, sustained by the Queen, the
opposition is yet powerful, and it is as
serted by the London Times that nothing
less than the reputation altogether by
Russia of The claim to supersede the obll-
cations of the treaty will be acceptable.
The des patches of yesterday morning
make no alluson whatever to the reports
received Oh Wednesday of the fall of Paris
or of the capitulation of the Army of the
Loire II is said though, in London, that
a feeling is spreading throughout Eng
land, that the French war is drawing to
close rapidly, it being believed that, in
view of it'd being apparently impossible to
combine and concentrate the armies, Gen
Trochu will be Obliged to surrender
A despatch from Tours of 30, declares
that all is yet we'll with the Army of the
Loire, and pronounces the Prussian ac
counts of the fighting on the 2Sth wholly
false. Paladines is said to be near Or
lerns with one hundred and thirty thous-
and men, who he holds we'll in hand y
that these, with the right and left rear,
were we'll concentrated in the late actions,
and inflicted greater loss than they suffer
ed.
A despatc received at an early hour
Yesterday morning reports that Gen Ducrot
has made great sortic from Paris, with q
hundred thousand men. which was COM
pletely successful, and that be had crossed
the Marne.
Accounts come from various points
claiming victories for the French OF the
Prussians having been beaten. with severe
loss, and of the French forces having re-
covered d number of places lately held DJ
the Germans.
Late dispatches from Versailles tell o.
a series Of fierce stories from Paris, which
occasioned severe and bloody fighting, re-
sulting in their being completely repuise'
in every case.
