FrRE. The tannery situated in Wells

Messrs. Lyon and Mcclure. was d
sfroyed by FIRE on Friday morning
last. 1t appears that the pipes were
frozen up, and some Of the hands at
tempted ia thaw them by holding
burning torches under them, 1t IS
supposed TO have caught frem this,
though one of the owners, fIr. Nc
Clufe. examined the premises the
night before about 9 O'Clock and ap-
parently every thing was right The
FIRE was discovered about : in the
morning. We understand there was

Strength or European Armies.

In view of the dispatches from
Europe, it is interesting to know what
military force the nations concerned
can put in the field. France has A.
632 soldiers on the peace footing, and
647,21l in the field, total Of nearly
100000. OF these, $4,000 men are
now ready to march on the tap OF the
drum.
Austria has 27S, ,470m on the peace
establishment, S3S, 700 of a war strength,
or 100000 fully prepared to move.
Could the South German Confederation
or group of States he secured on the
same side, they have Go $40 men on the
peace list, or lS4, 400 on thewa footing,
with 100000 Of these prepared for in
stant service. Such coalition would
give France the control Of 777,000 fight
ing men at once, with reserve Of ,596,
l03 trained soldiers.
On the other hand, Prussia has I25,-
600 men on the peace or ,266,OOO on
the war footing, with 100000 now ready
for operations on her western frontier.
North Germany, going with Prussia,
has 3l5, $40 on the peace, 55l 1893 on the
field or 944, 4,32l on the war footing, of
which $4,000 are instantly available
This would place at Prussian disposal
10000 men for the first moment. and
I,364, ,22l in reserve. Thus she would
have instantly, $4,000 men more, and
hereafter DBL ,7S5 less than the French
alliance. Should she he able to manage
Southern Germany for her cause she
would have l,0j3,000 men, or 10000
more than France, to move at once, or
quite enough to cope with her and Aus
tria together, for the time being, with
all the advantages Of common Ian
guagc and position. This would leave
Prussia still reserve OF Al ,127 men,
or only l5l, $40 less than that Of France
and Austria coalesced, a difference
swamped to the extent Of nearly 10000
men by her superiority Of immediate
force.
Italy, ont Of force Of 376,72l on a
war footing, with $4,000 Of reserve,
or j73,72l in all, could spare possibly
100000 men to operate on the French
frontier or hold q hostile corps in check
The direct and open participation of
Russia is hardly to he expected unless
circumstances should force her into the
melee. In that case she could dispose
OF about 250, 900 men from about 100
600 composing her army in Europe, in
cluding the Cossacks. She could take
no other course by family alliance, posi-
ton, and the recollection OF Crimean
wounds than to aid Prussia Sweden
and Denmark would. if they dared to
move at all, have to go in the same di-
rection, with abont $4,000 men. Thus
Italy, the Car and Scandinavia would
bring King William 100000 mcn-a
force that, with South German aid,
