END OF THE WAR.

We have had several announce
ments to the effect that peace be-
tween France and Germany had been
made, but such reports were not
strictly correct till Wednesday OF
last week. An armistice was in ex-
istence, the active prosecution OF
hostilities deferred, and negotiations
for peace in progress. A basis had
been agreed upon, and the prelimi-
naries signed, but even this was
liable to be rendered negatory by
the adverse action of the Constituent
Assembly. Fears were entertained
both by the Germans and Theirs that
the Assembly might refuse to ac-
cept the severe terms proposed, but
true patriotism triumphed, and the
terms agreed upon were ratified.
Peace is now certainly secured.
The attendant circumstances have
proved extremely humiliating to the
French generally, and to the Pari-
slams particularly. Not only do they
involve the transfer of landed terri
tory to Germany, the payment of
heavy indemnities, but hostile and
conquering army has marched in
triumph through portion of Paris.
1t is not surprising that the city
was in mourning. 1t is surprising,
considering the volatile character
of the French population, that the
streets were comparatively deserted,
yet this fact shows how deep hold
t-the sense of shame and indignity
has taken upon them. Even the
Berliners could not resist the temp
tation to throng the streets when
the First Napoleon marched in tri
umph through their city. But vol
atile, sensation-loving Paris re-
mained within doors. Only emblems
of mourning were thrown out. The
march of the conquerors was as
funereal as it was triumphal. We
honor the French for this appropri
ate display OF. dignity and right
feeling. 1t shows that deep down
in their souls is a passionate love
for La Belle France, and that when
she is dishonored, they can mourn.
This is true patriotism-not the
highest type of patriotism-but the
passionate, loving kind that can weep
when it cannot fight, ,and can mourn
when hard destiny can be no longer
averted. Yet we cannot blame the
Germans that they wished to enter
Paris. The officers remembered
that the French would have triumph
antly entered Berlin had they sue
ceeded in the war. The private
soldiery thought of the hardships
they had undergone in taking the
city, and felt that they we're entitled
to the privilege OF a triumphal march
through the city they had, with SO
much hardship, conquered. To have
refused them would have seemed in
justice, and this the Emperor did
not feel like inhicting, at the close
of his great campaign. But the
war, with its fearful slaughter and
fierce passion, its miseries and bar
barities, is over, Peace has come
bright, beautiful, blessed peace.
Long may she continue to smile
upon the art-broken, and speedily
may she assuage or dim the grief
of the reaved.-DiSpatch

CONGRESS.

The Forty-First Congress ad.
journed at noon on Saturday. The
galleries were well filled with spec
tators, and in the House, many Wis
itors were on the floor. At twelve
o'clock the Speaker delivered his
valedictory and declared the session
adjourned sine die. He then pro-
ceeded TO organize the new Con
gress.
In the Senate the Vice President
stated that twelve o'clock, the hour
for adjournment, had arrived, and ad-
dressed the Senate as follows:
Thanking the Senate for the ap-
proval of my official course which
you have placed on your records, 1
declare the third session of the Sen
ate of the United States of the For
ty-First Congress adjourned without
day. The time fixed for the assem-
bling of the first session, according
to law, of the Forty-Second Con
gress having arrived, the Secretary
will call the roll of names of Sena-
tor elect, who will present themselves
in front of the Vice Presidents
chair to fake the oath of office.
Several new members came for
ward and were sworn in, when the
Senate adjourned till II O'Clock
Tuesday.
The House has fixed on Wednes-
day today for final adjournment.
The President, on that morning,
approved and signed sixty-seven
bills, including the remaining gen.
eral appropriation bills.
The President remained at his
room some time awaiting the organ
ization of the two Houses, in order
to save the Joint Committee the
trouble of sending to him Executive
Mansion. He had no printed mes
sage to communicate.

Important Legal Decision as to Special
Deposits.

CLEVELAND, March 1.-The case
of Thomas Dowlen VS.. the Second
National Bank was decided to-day,
in favor of plaintiff. Mr.. Dowlen
sued to recover ten thousand dollars
in United States bonds deposited as
a special deposit with the cashier of
the bank on May 1st, 1869, which
bonds were said by the officers of
the bank to have been appropriated
by the cashier, who subsequently
became a defaulter and committed
suicide. The defendant did not de-
ny the loss but refused to acknowl-
edge their liability for this transac-
tion of the cashier. The jury brought
in verdict for the plaintiff for the
amount asked for, with interest from
the time the bonds were deposited.

Horrible FaII--Mrs. Michael Haley Falls
into we'll Thirty Feet Deep,

Last Saturday morning little
after 10 o'clock, Mr.. Michael Haley
having prepared some corn for the
mill, told his wife to sweep what was
scattered about the floor out doors
to the chickens and started on his
way to the mill. He had proceeded
but about two hundred yards when
he was startled by the rapid turning
of the .windlass, which was soon fol-
lowed by the exclamation by some
neighbor, "Your wife is in the well. !"
Mr.. Haley rushed back as soon as
possible, and on arriving at the spot
asked his wife if she was sensible
and able to take hold of the bucket.
She replied that she was. Having
taken hold Of the bucket, Mr.. HI.
turned the windlass as fast as he
could, but when Mrs. II. was drawn
half way up, she let 60 her hold and
down she went again. The second
time she took hold of the bucket,
and Mr.. H. again applied himself to
the windlass with all his energies,
and just at that time some neighbor
woman saw young man on the rail
road, whom she called to come and
assist to get woman out of well.
In few moments he was on the
ground. Mr.. H. turned the wind
lass and as soon as Mrs. H. was
within reaching distance, the young
man took hold and pulled her out.
His arrival was timely for without
his assistance Mr.. H. could never
have saved his wife, as he had all
that he could possibly do to hold the
windlass. Mrs. H. was taken in the
house and DR.. Smalley, who had
been sent for, soon arrived, made an
examination and pronounced her as
having. received no serious injuries
except slight wounds ON the back Of
the head and assured the family that
they need not entertain any fears.
The supposition is that Mrs. III. lost
her balance in endeavoring to get
out a large bucket of water from
the well with one hand, while hold
holding the windlass with the other
and fel! with her feet foremost. The
well is thirty feet deep and contain
ed about six feet of water. On Sun
day evening she was able to sit up
and felt quite comfortable. How
the unfortunate woman escaped with
such slight enjuries, is, indeed, al
most incredible.
We have given the above facts as
we received them from Mr.. Haley

selected the Hon. A. F. Stevens,
the present incumbent, while Mr.. S.
N. Bell, an influential Democrat,
opposes him. In the Third District
Mr.. Griffin, the Republican candidate
is opposed by Mr.. Parker, Demo
crat.
The. election in Connecticut will
be held on the first Monday of April.
The Republicans in the First, Sec
ond and Third Congressional Dis
tricts have renominated the present
incumbents, viz: j. L. Strong, S.
W. Kellogg and H. H. Starkweather.
Their candidate in the Fourth Dis
trict is George H. Coffing. His op-
ponent, W. H. Barnum, is a mem
Der of the present Congress. The
other Democratic nominees are A.
L. Goodrich, John Kendrick and j.
W. Stedman. In the Second Dis
