promising to 90 with the goods to the foot Of JEFF
ferson street to take care Ufthem, after which he
would return to his wife and children. Late in
the afternoon the wife began to suspect all was
not right, as her husband failed to make his APP
pearance. On investigation it was ascertained
that the man had taken the goods 10 dealer in

same. Yesterday morning he lett for p rts un-

place to lay her head or the means with which
she could buy crust Of bread for herself or little

trying to recover her goods by legal process and
we hope she may get them. The man who thus
robbed his family and then deserted them, de-

SOLDIERS, HOMESTEAD LAW.

Parties interested in the Homestead law learn
ed, By writing to the Secretary Of the Interior,
chat Congress at its last session passed an act to
Increase the land grant of so acres of land to SOL
diers who served in the late war, to lBo acres.
The former act was passed in 1852; it required
residence upon and cultivation of the land for
. period of I've years before title would be
granted. The act of July 18th, 1870, merely
uodifiss the old law by increasing the quantity
Of land. It does not change the number of years
for roccupapcy andcultivation. All soldiers who
served ninety days in the army or navy, and re-
msned loyal to the Government, are Untitled to
the increase by complying with terms Of the grant.

SWINDLERS.

The Portsmouth Tribune Of last
week gives tie following:
Notwithstanding all that has
been said exposing the trade in
counterfeit grecnbacks, there are
plenty Of penitentiary- deserving
fools sending money away every
day accompanied by orders for the
counterfeit money. One citizen Of
this place who scarcely knows a day
ahead where he is to procure the
necessaies Of life, scraped up some
$25 and enclosed it in an order for
counterfeit money In due time he
got his little box of SaW da8t, ,--
Men who would not be suspected
are investing in this business. The
packages are sent G, .. D.,-theI
charges paid, and the possessorI
grabs his box and retires to Sc
cluded place, expecting to count
over a package Of beautiful crisp
greenbacks, SO perfectly executed
as to render detection impossible.
Upon opening the package, wooden
blocks and saw dust prove to be the
contents. One fellow thus diddled
out of S25 or $50, rushed to the
express office and asked il they had
sent the money away he had paid
for charges. Upon hcing told that
the money was sent to the parties
ho had ordered from, he replied
with assumed indifference" Oh,
well, never mind--they didn't just
send the goods | ordered, but no
difference !"
Several gentlemen Of this place,
we have been informed, have re.
ceiyed circulars from an Eastern
city, in which propositions have
been made to furnish them with
packages OF counterfeit greenbacks
at marvellous rates of discount, but
We have not heard Of anybody
in tliis vicinity who was green
enough to invest in speculation
that offered suchrayc inducements.

EUROPEAN NEWS.

/ LONDON, December 20,-A YER
saillcs correspondent, after making
a tour of the German lines, writes
on the 10Th, very positively, that
it will be impossible ever to bonn
bard Paris effectively. The anxiety
Of the Germans for peace is in
tense. The German troops are on
the point of mutiny.
Rats are eaten in Paris only on
wagers, and for pastime.
The bombardment Of Paris. is
postponed. The bombardment of
Versailles is expected every mo-
ment,
The French have in position
guns capable Of throwing a shell
through the Kings palace, and
driving the Germans from the
works east and north of Versailles
A correspondent with the 10th.
Corps, at Vendome, writing on the
18th. says, that after severe fight.
ing on the 18th, 18th, 10th and
l7th, on both banks Of the Loire,
the Germans occupy Freteral, Ven
dome and Epinsay, General Chaus-
ey retireing slowly and in toler-
able order, hoping to join the 21st
Corps under General Jaures, and
the troops near LIE Mans and Con
lie. The fighting was tedious and
bloody. The Germans need rest.
BERLIN, Dec. 20.-The Gross Ga
zette, Of this city, says the cause
previously given for the failure to
open the bombardment Of Paris is
incorrect. Difficulties in transpor-
tation of material and heavy guns
will be shortly overcome. Further
action will be guided by military
considerations.
BERLIN, Dec. 20.--King William,
of Prussia, has received at Yer
sailles an address from the Reich
stag. In speech in reply thereto,
to the delegation of that
body, the King returns, his thanks
for supplies voted for the prOsecu-
ton Of the war which has secured
the national unity, and signifled his
acceptance Of the dignity Of EN-
peror, rendered by the unanimous
voice Of the Princes free towns
and the German nation,
LONDON, Dec. 20.--Prospects for
peace are looking much improved,
,his morning. 1t is thoughtin Ber-
lin and Frankfort that the peace
basis proposed by the neutrals, with |
some amendments, will soon be
adopted,
The military movements in the
field continue active, and the
French are evidently endeavoring
to concentrate, One of the Ger
