from this-l should say the remains OF a village,

described as being beyond all description hor-
ilhIe. IL appears that the peasantry inha bitin z
II had hred upon and wounded and killed
several OF the German urgeons while in the
act OF attending to wounded soldiers, and, as a
reprlsal and measure of warning for the future,
the village had been burned. The work had
oeen done so suddenly, quickly and effectuslly.
that the women and children had been unable
10 escape, and their bodies, charred and black
ened, many of them still burning, lay about the
village street, mingled with the heaps of French
and Prustian soldiers who had fallen in one OF
the most desperate encounters of the war. "YOu

AFTEE THE FIGHT--A military correspon-
dent OF the London Telegraph observes "A
curious fact asceTtained at Sedan was that
many hundreds of bullets extracted from the
French soldiers were chassepot balls. This
arose from the want OF discipline among the
the French. met two untortunste young Eng
Hshmen at Sedan who happened TO be IN the
town the day that the gates we're shut by tn ,
French, and consequently, had TO remain until
the capitulation. They describe the state of
confusion in the town as something fearful.
The gunners on the walls were firing on their
own troops, and no one appeared to have
authority. Many Of the inhabitants were killed
during the bombsrdment. i saw three Prus san
soldiers marched out OF the town to be shot
Their offence was that OF stealing some bread.
Every one seemed TO take it as q matter of
course; but IL was an awful penalty for the Of
fence. However, the Germans do not err on
the side Of mercy in matters OF discipline. The
conduct Of the Bavsrian troops after the battle
however. cannot be excused. They shot down
scores Of persons, both men and women because
a few had fired shots on them from the houses
in BaZeilles and Balan. The priest in the latter
village wss shot down in the street, and doctor
OF the Belgian ambulance told me that he saw
twenty women, with their hands tied behind
them, taken out into the fields and shot"

WHEN the Parisians Populace forced their
way into the Hotel de Vile q fine portrait
the EmPerorwas on the POINT Of being destroy
ed, but NJ Gsmbetta caused il TO be turned
against the wall and prevented violence, eN-
claiming. cit is useless" Unfortunately such
was not the case with the portrait painted by
chimneys in the sale du TrOne. This painting
was torn TO pieces; and panel In the hall OF the
Municipal Council. representing the Emperor
handing 20 Baron Haussmann the decree of an
neSing the suburbs Of Paris, was much lacera-
ted. Such, apart from a few benches and busts
broken, was all the damage done at the Hotel
de Vile. The library OF the Municipal Coun
Gil, as well "a the other adjoining compar tments,
were respected, owing TO the efforts of NJ.
Dardenne, the librarian, and a few Guards.
~The following incident shows the spirit OF
the Parisians: A woman belonging to the en-
yirors had brought several sacks of potatoes u
the central market. A customer presented
himself, and asked, GLOW much the boisseau
(thirteen litres)?" -Four francs" al offer
you two francs fifty centimes." "Fifty sous
had rather give them to the Prus-
sians!' At these words the dealers around
overwhelmed the woman with reproaches, and
the crowd scattered the potatoes over the pave
ment. The woman called q policeman, but he
did not act in the matter, so that she lost her
potatoes by the rude Justice Of the people.
~While James Reese and Samuel KYLE
we're cunning near Lancaster, Pa, on Tuesday,
Kyle Plsyfully threw piece of clay at Reese.
while the latter was loading his gun. The clay
struck Reese's hand, and the gun was dis
charged killing Kyle instantly.
