New YORK, Nov. 25.-Late advices
say that the old leading German
Generals in the Germaa army before
Paris believe that the Capital will
capitulste and the war be over before
Christmas.
Ostend specials say that the best
information received there shows food
so scarce in Paris that it cannot hold
out much longer, and that the garri-
sons only hope is from outside.
Another SPECIAL states that King
William and Bismarck are more than
ever resolved to have Paris, and to
keep Alsace and Lorraine.
The Federal Parliament is asked
to vote 100,000,000 thalers for the
prosecution Of the war to the end.
The Berlin An=eiger, to-day, says
that it is believed the end of the war
is near at hand.
1t is confidently believed here that
the Eastern controversy will end
without rupture.

we offer the following plans for your action:
FIRST mat the two vacant lots living north
OF the Jail property be purchased (f they can
be had at reasonable rates) for the purpose
OF building thereon new dwelling house and
jail, and on its completion the present house
and property to be sold
Second That new Jail he buih in the

the present jail-the same can be built more
satisfactory, both as to size and safety than
the present one, and the stone and material
OF the old Jail can be used in the new
We find some little repairs are needed in
and around the Court House-such as plas.
tsrng new locks on doors, and drum on
the stove in the room Of the Clerk of Circuit
Court and we would suggest that the Super
intendent of Public Property be authorized
to make the said repairs, and also to re build
or repair the sidewalks and platforms where
ever needed in the Court House yard.
We find that the county owns considerable
vacant land and village property that has been
sold Tor number OF years, and from which no
revenue IS received, we recommend that the
Clerk of the County Board be authorized and
empowered to sell all such lots and vacant
land that Grant County may have held for
SIX years or more, for any reasonable sum he
may be able to obtain therefor at his discre
ton; and or all such property sold for less
than six years, that the clerk be authorize to
remit the interest.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

given:
"Frou-Frour is destined to become an
American word. 1t is already on the lips of
society, and soon the populace will have it.
In France "Frou-Frou" signifies the rustic

OF the sugar prospects. the coming season,
the Price Current says:
The cultivators of sugar throughout the
State have now, we learn, got through with
planting, and as they had a good supply OF
remarkably well preserved seed cane on
hand, the area of land put under tillage is
considerably greater than last season; Well
informed parties estimate that 1t Will aver.
age fully fifteen per cent for the State, but
whether or not the average of production
will equal this, must depend, of course, en-
the character of the season henceforward.
80 far the weather has not been suspicious,
having been rather dry, and so cold as to
cause the growing to be less advanced by
fully two weeks than is ordinarily the case.
The frosts, in fact, have been 80 severe as to
cut off the tops Of the young cane, on most
plantations, wherever they had appeared
above the ground. This, however,. will
cause no serious injury. if the plant can
have good growing weather for the future,
and the prospect for good crop this season
is, On the whole, rather favorable.
