Instances of cruelty by the Prussiaps
toward the Franc-Tireurs are related from
all parts of the country, which make the
latter desperate and determined to take no
prisoners.
Over thirty Prussian spies who were
brought here to-day.
The sub-prefect Of st. Quentin has ar
rived here, having resigned his Office be-
cause the municipal authorities refused to

was the occupation Of the town by the
Prussians, who hold it now.

tiOns in the North.

Paris to consult the government relative to

AT meeting of the council to-day, it is
reported that the subject of the election of
members to the Assemble Constituante was
discussed.
1t is also reported that the council was
informed by Lord Lyons that he had re-
ceived orders from his government to an
nounce it's desire to mediate in conjunction
with Austria and Italy.
Gambetta's answer was that he would
do nothing without the concurrence of the
government at Paris.
1t is understood here that preparations
for national defense are now so great that
the government will not accept peace save
upon a liberal basis.
At Paris the determination is also evident
to make defense to the last, unless honOra-
BILE terms Of peace can be obtained.

AGAIN At HoME.-We were really delight
ed, yesterday, on meeting our old friend, MIR.
Louis Grunewald, the noted piano dealer OF
No. l29 Canal street, who has just returned
from an extended tour in Europe and the
North. Mr.. Grunewald was not deferred
by the war from his grand obiect-that is,
hunting up everything novel in the musical
world-and, like the busy bee, comes home
laden with sweets. In health, he appears
much improved, and if he was not allowed
by the soldiers in Europe, to enjoy lite a.
usual, still he made good use Of his time.

Academy of Music.

This evening is the last night OF the pres
ent company. and the bill for the occasion
seems to indicate that the last performance
is to eclipse all previous efforts, however
brilliant. A new programme will be pro-
duced, which is to include the Silver Clogs.
by Miss Marie Zoel; Miss Wesner, in her
sensational vocalism: Frank A. Gibbon,
who can fall further and get up sOunder in
limb than any man ever heard of; Hunga-
rian dance, by the Kiralfy Sisters; Miss
Engle, Miss Scott, Billy Garter, Miss Leo
pold and Mr.. Leopold. all to excel them
selves. The farce of Paddy Miles Boy
which of itself will he worth the price of
admission, to say nothing of the concluding
piece, the Mad Poet of the Catskill Noun
tains." We learn that this sterling troupe
will return to New Orleans somewhere in
December, with increased facilities for at
tracing public favor.
Tomorrow evening, the successful i'm
personator of Irish character, Dominick
Murray, will commence an engagement with
the famous drama of the "Rapparee," and
the farce of the .Benicia Boy" From

The Weed sewing machine is attracting
more attention than any other domestic
facility ever yet brought to public notice in
this city. 1t certainly deserves its appella-
ton of Family Favorite, for it requires
nothing but a few weeks trial to place it in
a position of favoritism, which, if the ma
chine had consciousness, it would be proud
to attain. Call at 1877 Canal street, and see
it operate.

The Diamond EyeGlasses.

In every mercantile community where men
habitually strain their eyes over books and
| under Pickering gaslights, the use of spec
tacles or eyeglasses becomes speedily a ne
cessty, and they could, after their fortieth
year, as easily dispense with their know
ledge of mathematics, as with their helps
to see" 1t therefore becomes, with them,
a matter of vast Importance where to get
the best eyeglasses. They may possibly
find dozens of places where they can be
supplied with what may be represented to
them as a good article, but which, when
tried, will be found to inure the eye more
than benefit the sight. But we are glad to
be able to announce that there is at last one
place where good glasses can be had
glasses which improve the organ, while as
sisting it in its labors. We speak of the
establishment of Mr.. Edward Lilienthal,
No. 95 Canal street. the agent of the cclc-
brated diamond glasses" of j. f. Spencer
& Co., of New York. We have tried these
glasses, and, therefore. speak by the card in
stating that they positively possess every
quality claimed for them in Mr.. Lilienthals
advertisement, which will be found in an
other column. Brighter and clearer than
any glasses we ever before tried: they do
not strain the eye nor render it necessary to
use a very strong light. While assisting the
vision to a greater extent than any other we
have seen, they do not fatigue the organ,
but one sees by their assistance as naturally
and as we'll as he did in his youth We can
not too strongly recommend them to our
readers. In addition to these glasses, Mr..
Lilienthal has one of the most comprehen-
sive and select stock of watches and jcwelry
in the city. A young man who grew up in
our city, and who has been nearly all his
life in this business, he thoroughly under
stands the requirements of home trade. His
goods are exactly what he says they are, for
Ned Lilienthal has proved himself man of
his word and man of principle in times
when mems principles were tried
