How THEY GET Our OF PARIS. The
following extract is from letter received
from a lady now in London, dated Satur-
day, the 9th instant
Mr.. and Mrs. - escaped from Paris this
week. They were obliged to purchase a
carriage and horses, for which they paid
1000 francs, and drove themselves to
Rouen-about four days journey. There
they disposed of their team for $50 francs
and took the railroad. They were obliged
TO leave all their effects behind, as all the
Americans do who are permitted to leave
Paris. All my baggage, with the exception
of one trunk, is IN that city. Provisions
were growing alarmingly scarce before we
left. Two and one-haf pounds Of meat,
twice q week. was the regular allotment.
Soups are made from horses, and daily dis
tributed among the poor. The cavalry at
Metz were Obliged to 60 on foot because
their horses had to be used to keep the sol
diers from starvation.

A SCARED TowN.-The Titusville Herald
has the following account Of how quantity
OF nitro glycerine was received in that city
a few days ago:
Something of sensation was occasioned
at the railroad depot yesterday, by the re.
port that carload Of nitro-glycerine had
arrived there, and was to be unloaded and
hanled through the city. A messenger was
sent to Mayor Bates with the request that
he would 60 down and examine it, and
order the arrest of the owners. The Mayor
was very busy, and sent word to the Coun-
Gil, suggesting that they 60 down in body
and attend to the matter. The Council
declined to interfere, but sent word to the
Chief of Police, who dispatched several of
the regulars, who in turn notified the spe-
Gals. The latter, knowing nitro-glycerfne
to be contraband Of ordinance, gave notice
that anybody could examine it who thought
proper. Nobody seemed DESTROYS of inves-
tigating it on his own account. There were
fifteen packages, five of which weighed one
hundred pounds each, and ten fifty pounds
each. During the afternoon they were
loaded upon wagon and removed to the
torpedo factory.
