How Long VIII Paris Hold Out ,

The question, how long the provisions OF
Paris will hold out, is every day becoming Of
more and more interest. It is now about
four months since the city was closely invest
ed by the Prussians, and as yet the inhabi-
tants show no signs of distress from hunger.
It is noticeable, however, that NJ. Frederic
Gaillardet, writing from Brussels on the 30th
of December to the Courier DIES Eats- Unis
of New York, mentions that correspondence
then recently received from within the lines
fixed the duration of the supplies at the LIST
of February, and that an intercepted letter of
Gen. Vinoy was reported, which confirmed
the imminence of famine.

The baltimore ana Potomac Railroad.
Work upon the railroad, We learn, is stead
lily progressing. At the Pope's Creek Section.
Of which our respected fellow-citizen, Colonel
Samuel Cox, is the Contractor, about one
hundred and forty hands are employed in
grading. On this section, near the Greek, the
grading is very heavy-much more 80 than
upon any other part Of the line within our
county, and, of course, the work is cores
poudiugly slow and tedious. In short time
the whole line will be ready for grading.

intent to influence the decision Of the commit

influenced BY this combination Of beauty and

tepding that women are included in the
general terms Of the Fifteenth Amendment

The heavy storm which prevailed last Sa-

Great snow storm at Chicago.

The Chicago papers state that the snow
storm which set in there and the surrounding
country on Saturday night was the seserest
known for many years. 1t prevailed for
forty-eight hours with great fury. The snow
fell to the depth of over twenty inches on a
level. Many of the streets were impossible,
and railway travel was for while entirely
suspended. The storm was almost equally
severe at St. Louis, Milwaukee and other
places in that section of country.

Important Discovery.

A discovery was made last week which
gives hope of important results. Dr.. B. L..
Bird had occasion to deepen well on his
farm near the Brick Church, in Queen Anne
district, in this county. The water was of
the best kind, but the flow not sufficient
After digging the we'll about two feet deeper
the character Of the water became entirely
changed and unfit for use, having strong
taste and smell Of coal oil. In fact it was
covered with scum having all the APPEAR
ance of coal oil, aud which burned freely in
the coal oil lamp. A specimen Of the oil is
now at our Office, and there may be mines OF
wealth in the bowels of the earth in and a.
bout this neighborhood. DR.. Bird will take
immediate steps to test the extent Of the flow
Of oil, and we hope the supply may prove to
be abundant. If so, it will tend to tighten
the burdens under which the farmers in this
region are now borne dowp.-Marlborough

The rroub1es OF Gladstone.

The English Prime Minister, Mr.. Gladstone
seems to have fallen into the bands of the
Phillistines. The London Standard, 10 a
sharp criticism on the ambitious plans and
ends of Prussia and King William calls to
account Mr.. Gladstene's government for the
alacriy it has displayed in congratulating the
Emperor of Germany on his new dignity
with it's hesitation in acknowledging the
French Republic. This would seem to be a
very fair hit The Scotch Presbyterians have
also got hold of the unfortunate Premier. At
a recent meeting of the Free Prebytery in
Edinburgh, the question of his Protestant
orthodoxy was brought up, basd on the tenor
of bis recent letter on the subject of the Pope
to Mr.. Dease. The Presbytery passed re-
solution stating that Mr.. Gladstones Ian
guage in that letter has awakened a deep
sonse of apprehension 10 the minds of all true
Professionals 10 the United Kingdom. In his
desire to propitiate the Catholics Of Ireland
Mr.. Gladstone forgot all about the Scotch
Presbyterians. He must be as sorely per-
picked as some ofour own politicians in shap-
ing their course upon the question of Italian
unity. H5s.sa
