LONDON February 2O.-A cores
| pOndent Of the Times telegrsphs from
| Versailles as follows:
Z" The MOnitellr says that a prOlOng-
alton of the armistice would iDiure
/ the position of the Germans. Ger
many is resolved to continue the war
if compensation for the past and guar
| antees for the future are not given ;
| Germany must insist upon guaran-
antees, and especially those prOcura-
Z bic by the occupation of Paris.

The Times Berlin correspondent
telegraphs that the German terms of
peace have been presented in definite
form and are UltiDlOtltBg.
The same correspondent says that a
prOlOngation CT the armistice was ac-
corded in return for the surrender of
Belfort.
The Telegraph has a dispatch from
Paris, dated the 10th inst, which says
that the police are searching the tur-
bulent districts for firearms and hand
grenades, many Of which have been
already seized.
A German named Hause has been
appointed Prefect of st. Denis, from
which place 800, 900 francs are exacted
by the Prussians.
TERMS OF PEACE BEING DISCUSSED.
BORDEAUX, February 19.-Deliber-
tiOns are now going on in regard to
the conditions of peace. The cessiOn
of Nice and naturalization Of Savoy,
in order to completely isolate France,
are now under discussion. France
will thus be separated from Germany
by neutTalized territories Of Belgium,
Luxembourg and Switzerland and by
the newly acquired Alsace and LOr-
raine, and from her old ally, Italy, by
neutral territory, full Of Obstracles to
military operation. The great object
of the Germans is to incapaCitate
France from taking her threatened
revenge. Bismarck is willing to re-
nOunce Metz on condition of disman-
tlement, but Moltke insists on
retaining the fortress, as nee
essaFy for q strategic point.
M0ltke also insists on retaining a
belt Of territory, including BelfOrt, as
the people Of this region entirely
French. Bismarck is unwilling TO in
sist. The question is still under de-
bate ia the Imperial council.
No further extension Of the armis-
tice will be conceded on any ground
whatever. If peace is not concluded
by Y, noon, on the 23d, the German
armies will march south and Paris
viii be treated as a captured city.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Oct. 2.
Buffalo is an enterprising city of abou
100000 inhabitants, they used to say, be
fore the census man cam. around thai
they had 10000.
Well, 10000 is good many" if thoy
are smart, and some of the people here are
certainly entitled to be called that, for
they have here now a local Industrial

Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Asso.

character that we have in all New Eng.
land.
The Exposition opened on the 18th of
September and continues-day and even
ing, until the 14th of October. tits held
in large rink, which is entirely filed,
even crowded, with light articles, the
variety and beauty of the display taken
with the brilliant crowd, calls to mind

Connected with the rink " by bridge

machinery moved by steam power.
We sec many remarkable and interest
ing objects, so many, Indeed, that our me-
mory refuses to keep many of them, and
as we did not take notes, our account will
be brief
An object of interest to US was a bar of
iron eighty feet long, nine inches high,
weighing 2.400 pounds, which was rolled
at one heat, by rolling mill in Buffalo.
Another especial object of attraction to
rs was the fine exhibition of Howes
Standard Scales, made by the Brandon
Manufacturing Company, Brandon, Vt,
who have arge.awarehouse in this city.
This was the only article Of Vermont
manufacture which we saw, and they do
redit to our State.
We have visited the large stockyar and
birping exchange, where business has
been very dull all the season. Some of
be elevators are idle, and much of the
'usin ess which once came here has I'M
oubtedly gone to Ogden s6urgh, from
whence it passes over the roads managed

British Column bia.

The report of the Acting Colonial
Secretary of British Columbia on the con-
dition of the colony, contains some infor-
nation new to the public. The total pep
ulation exclusive of Indians is stated to
be 10,496, of whom 1,947 are Chinese.
The native tribes are estimated to number
from thirty to forty thousand. The gold
mines produced for export, during the
year 1870, $2,417,S73, and taking what
remains in the olutry and what was sent
east is estimated at $S,417,S20 These
mines when first discovered, led to great
excitement and speculation, but the adj
venturers have generally returned to the
States. The area of mining operations
now extend from the forty-ninth to the
flfty.second degree OF north latitude,
giving belt Of from one to two hundred
miles in width. Coal mines abound in
various sections, some of which are worked
at a profit. Wheat and other cereals
ripen readily and yield enormously, and
the country is admirably adapted for
stock. Every element of wealth seems to
exist, and now that excitements of other
sections have abated there is no reason why
Yankee enterprise should not possess, oc-
cupy, and hold the country within short
period.
