What is Doing.

The Prussians are reported to be some
what embarrassed in the operations around
Paris by The rumored escape of a portion OF
Bazaine's army from Metz. The number
escaped is reported at six thousand, which
must be an error, a. such number OF men
could do little injury. 1t twas probably sixty
thousand men that escaped.
Paris has been declared in state OF siege
Noncombattants are to be expelled 1he
Prussians were in sight of the city on
Thursday. There have been DO railroad
trains beyond Pontoise since Wednesday
last. The forests around the city are now
entirely consumed.
Thursday morning corps of the army of
occupation left Paris for the purpose of at
tacking the advance guard of the PrussIan
army, who are known to be in the lmmeil-
ate suburbs of the city.
The Prussians are closing in on the CAPT
tal in way that indicates an attack On the
southern and south eastern side, and in that
direction, so as to receive their support,
and at the same time to prevent reinforce
seiged.
The workmen Of the city form sixty-six
battallions, comprising eighty thousand
men. They are among the most determlr-
ed defenders of the city, and are resolved on
a war of determination. Military men of
experience say that the power of the city to
resist is limited only by the supply of food.
1t is claimed that General Trochu has
4l0, 600 men under arms, who will become
good soldiers behind the ramparts. The
citizens are determined to emulate Stras-
burg. t. the city holds out three months
they claim that the Prussians will be driven
back 10 the Rhine. They will make their
way over barricades if they succeed in bat.
tering down the walls or get in by surprise.
The bombardment of Strasburg contin-
ues In his last dispatches General Ulrich,
commandant, admits that the situation IS
desperate General Won Werther, the
Prussian commander, defers the general as
sault on the city in order that the garrison
may not be uselessly butchered. The suf-
ferings of the people and garrison are ter
rible.
The blockade of the Baltic and North Sea
ports has been officially raised.
1t is reported in London that the Foreign
Office has NJ. Bismark's reply to the de-
mand of jules Fsvre for an armistice. Bis

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE.-The
Hearth and Home a finely illustrated fami-
iy journal of a hghscharacter, hitherto IS
sued by Messrs Pettengill, Bates & Co.,
has been purchased by Messrs. Orange
Judd & Co., of 245 Broadway, New York,
the well known publishers of the american
AgricuLturist. Messrs. S. NJ. Iettengili
& Co., whose great Advertising Agency,
established in lS49, is one of the largest
and most reputable in the world. find that
their extensive business requires their ez-
elusive attention, and they therefore trans
fer Hearth and Home to the new Publish
ers. whose long experience and abundant
facilities will enable them not only to main
tain the past high character of the paper,
but to add materially to its value. The
new Publishers also announce a reduction
of the terms to So per year. The change
will not at all affect the Anaericdn Agrtcnt-
| turist, which will continue on independently
as heretofore. The Illustrations and read
ing matter of the two journals will be en-
