EUROPE.

1t seems, from dispatches dated
at Zurich, Switzerland, of the 11th,
that the German celebration in hon
or of the return of peace, which be-
gan on Thursday, was disturbed by
French officers, who were detained
there as prisoners of war. The
German Music Hall was attacked
and occupied by the French, and
several persons were injured in the
Melee,
The Swiss Federal Council at once
ordered the adoption of military
measures to put an end to the tu-
multi and prevent its recnrrenc ce.
The disturbance was nevertheless
resumed ON Friday, when the Music
Hall of the Germans was again
stormed by the French and the
German flag torn In pieces. Subse-
quently a large number of people
of Zurich, who sympathized with
the Germans, attacked the prison in
which sixteen officers of the French
Mobile Guard, arrested on the pre-
vious day, were imprisoned. The
Swiss soldiers guarding the prison
at once fired upon and repulsed the
mob, but unfortunately killed and
wounded several innocent people in
houses on the opposite side of the
street. The riot has been thoroughly
quelled, and the city is perfectly
quiet.
The Germans were to eVaeuate
Versailles, and the French troops
Immediately occupy the town. The
Marquis de Bonneville has been ap-
pointed French ambassador at vi
emma and Mr.. Mettetal, prefect OF
Police. The health of the city is
improving.

For the REPUBLICAN,.
FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
MARCH 18th. ISL.

MAhCh I1Ill, 1Ci1.
EDS. REPUBLIcAN:-We notice in
the REPUBLICAN of April 23, very
interesting letter from your worthy
correspondent at Orrville, giving
full particulars of the dedication of
the Presbyterian Church of that
place. The Presbyterians of this
community most heartily congratu
late them on the success which has
crowned their efforts in having can
celed the Indebtedness of their
church. The church at this place,
under the pastoral care Of Rev. w.
j. Park, is in a very thriving condi-
tion. Rev. Park held q series of
very interesting meetings, commenc-
ing February 9th, and ending on
the 7th of this month. These meet
ings were well attended and highly
appreciated. Rev. Park was assisted
during this continued meeting by
Revs. Thompson and Sheely. Rev.
Thompson preached a most com
mendable sermon on the eve of the
I'd of this month, from Exodus 80 !;
26, which portrayed a vast amount
of clerical skill in giving to saint
and sinner their portion in due sea-
son. The publication of this ser
mon would well grace the columns
of any religious newspaper. At the
conclusion of the sermon, r. r. Cal
ley, a student of Allegheny Theo-
logical Seminary, was called upon to
lead in prayer, who sent up most
touc hing and heartfelt petition to
the throne of grace for the christi
anization of the world. The sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper was ad-
ministered on last Sabbath,
and six persons united with the
church, making membership of
about two hundred and fifty.
Rev. Atchison has been recently
installed pastor of the U. p. Church
of this village. We have never had
the pleasure of hearing him preach,
but are told by reliable persons that
he is talented and gifted young
man.
Mrs. Irving, an aged lady Of Fred
ericksburg, and wife of Rev. Samuel
Irving, deceased, (former pastor of
the U. p. Church, died February
9th. She was highly esteemed and
greatly respected by all who knew
her.
The American House has again
changed hands, and is now owned
by j. Redett, who has rented it to
Mr.. Robert Cole. Mr.. Cole wishes
the same liberal patronage from the
travelling public as the house has
received heretofore.
The mechanics of this place have
been very busy during the latter part
of the fall and winter, and several
very handsome buildings have been
erected. Noticeable among these
is Redetts stGrerQoms and Hall ad-
joining his brick block. The Hall is
very large, and when seated, will ac
commqdate several hundred persons.
James Vananda is putting up very
neat residence near the old Freder-
lex Mansion, (noted for being the

GENERAL SCHENCK.

1t is rumored that Mr.. Schenck
will not go to England, after all. 1t
is said that he has accepted position
as attorney of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, at a salary of twenty-five
thousand dollars a year. He will
remain in Washington till the work
of the High Commission is conclud-
ed, and then, if he goes to England
at all, will speedily return.

anxiously inquiries why, if the med
ical statement be true that the eat
ing of fish is wonderful thing for
the brain, it happens that so few of
the people Of Cape Cod are Daniel

found in the fact that the people of
Cape Cod eat less fish than the peo-

of any Daniel or Noah Websters in
the last named locality.

The Haytiens, we gather from
late reports from San Domingo, are
throwing off all reserve, and openly
invading Baez's territory in order

rather help than hinder the success
of the movement to annex.

CONSISTENCY.

One of the readiest ways of dis
covering how much truth there is in
Democratic prating over love of the
Constitution, is the untiring endeav-

actment of all laws, calculated tc
enforce the Constitutional Amend
ments.

Monday. consisting Of probably dozen or two
men, representing about half the Townships in
the County, for the purpose of nominating Coun-

natiops We're then proceeded with, but every
Dcuuegfat present declined the nominations con-
feffA upon them, and the "Convcntion {" was
compelled, in order to secure ticket, to nomi-
nate persons who were not there, and could not
decline on the spot. 1t is expected that most of
them will fly the track; and the deacons are look
ing up men to have in readiness to fill the vacau-

There was a noticeable feature in the Couven-

on being challenged, swore that they were Re
publicans, and intended to vote the Republican
ticket this Fall!

The Evening Journal was the first paper to get
ont an extra or sheet of any kind. 1t did so on
Monday evening, the 9th. We copy the following
from it,:
Proud, noble, magnificent Chicago of YESTERDAY
is to-day mere shadow of what it was, and help
less before the still sweeping flames, the fears are
that the entire city will be consumed before We
shall see the end. The entire South Division from
Harrison street north to the river, almost the Ell
tire North Division from the river to Lincoln Park
and several blocks i'm the West Division are
burned. 1t is utterly impossible to estimate the
losses; they must in the aggregate amount to
hundreds of millions Of dollars. Amid the cunfil-
sion and general bewilderment we can only give
a few details.
The fire broke ont on 18th street at about 9
o'clock ON Sunday evening, being caused by a COW
kicking over lamp in a stable in which woman
was milking.
