SUIcIDE.-Last Friday Mr.. Thomas Fulla-
ger, an d man eighty-fve years of age, COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat with a
razor. He arose from his bed about four
O'Clock in the morning, kissed his wife good

The RETIRING COMMISSIONERS The Town
Commissioners who retired on Monday last
proved the most untiring, attentive and self
sacrificing Board that the Town has ever had,
perhaps. Two years ago they were elected on
the town hall issue, and beyond the expecta-
tions of their most sanguine friends, and in
spite of the opposition of their most implaca
bic opponents they accomplished the task they
were elected to accomplish, and to-day we have
q building that is an ornament to the town ard
credit to the enterprise of the Board BY its
erection our religious societies have been bene-
6ted and realized thousands of dollars, our
secret society likewise benefited, our town L.
brary given new lease of life, and various
means of social enjoyment have been given to
the town. And it is no burden to the town, as
may be seen by the report elsewhere publish
ed, which is contrary to the predictions, and
we might say malignant hopes, of its opponents
1t might be larger and better located, but
these opponents are mainly responsible for
these defects; but while this opposition pre-
vented the Board from doing as much as the
town needed, it prompted them to do as much
as they did, and to do it with a promptness
that only opposition could have inspired Other
improvements were also made by them that
will be lasting benefit to the town. There
fore, the friends of the Board, last year,
promptly reelected them, as was their duty
The personal labor and determined energy
shown by two or three of the members is what
accomplished the work in the main. The af-
fairs of the town have never been more scru-
pul ,usy looked after.

CLOSING EVENTS OF THE WAR IN FRANCE.
The French Assembly on Wednesday last
ratified the conditions of peace agreed to at
Versailles, which We published. last week.
The ratification was carried by vote of SAG
against lO7. During the session violent agita-
tion ensued on the attempt of NJ. Cont, for
mery private secretary of Napoleon Ill, to
speak in justification of the empire, which the
Assembly summarily and enthusiastically ex-
tlnguished by adopting resolution decreeing
the fall OF the empire, and stigmatzing Napo-
leon as the author of the misfortuncs of France.
On the same day. while the French were rati-
flying the treaty at Bordeaux, the great Ger
man army was making it's grand triumphal
march through the streets of Paris. They pro-
ceeded III twJ great columns, in all the grand
eur OF an army, but made no signs of exuta-
tion or triumph The citizens of Paris. in
stead OF shr~'- -ptllity, were sad and dis
consulate. The French troops occupied the
streets along each lne of march, to prevent
disorder, vacating as the Germans advanced.
No hostile movement of the populace occurred
during the march, The scene, as described in
the cable dispatch, was very mournful one
Tor Paris. Wherever men or women appeared
they were sad enough. Many were weeping
and wearing emblems of mourning, and the
statues in the public places were draped. Per.
haps SO gay and grand pageant never passed
through city so silent and heart-broken,
While all this sadness was being manifested in
Paris, the greatest excitement was going on in
Berlin, the capital of Prussia. The Prussian,
evacuated Paris on Friday, and the forts arouad
the city will be evacuated to-day.
