The bombardment of Paris
continues. Shells reach near
the heart of the city, and a
number of women and children
have been killed. Many Of
the public buildings have been
injured, and the works of art at
the Luxembourg and Museum
destroyed. Three OF the French
iorts-Issy Vanyres and Mon
tr0gue are silenced. Three
separate sorties we're made by
the garrison of the city, but
they were repu.sed at all
points.
The French Army of the
Loire was defeated by the
Prussians at LIE Ma MS on the
18th, and 10000 prisoners cap
tured.
Another battle between the
same armies occurred on Sun
day, and the Germans were
again the victors.

The Public Lands in Ohio.

tDAAS -
Apropos to our article oflast
week, on the Public Lands in
Ohio, we observe that J.. I.
Wilson, on Friday last, made
an argument before the Senate
Committee on Public Lands,
in favor Of ceding all public
lands in Ohio to the State
The number of acres involved
Is about forty thousand, most
of 1T being in small irregular
tracts, and a great part of it
being already a matter of llti.
cation. The committee will
report favorably on the bill
next week.
Nj. Wilson is generally sue
cessful in his efforts, and we
doubt not will follow this sub.
ject up till it is f~avorably re.
ported upon by their Commit
tee to the Senate, and passed
by that body, when we cannot
doubt it will become a law by
receiving the signature Of Pres.
ident Grant. Mr.. Wilson is
an honest, correct, trustworthy
and useful member of Congress,
and our only regret is, that We
have not all of the same sort.
