THE ARMY REDUCTION.

New YORK, Dec 29.-Gen. Hancock 8
Army Board now in session at the War
Department, will be dissolved Saturday
night, owing to the limits of the law.
The Board will by that time have ac-
complished its objects, and will have
examined all the officers, except three
or four, the evidence in whose cases
has not been received. The result of
the Board in it's session of several
months, will be the discharge Of
about twenty officers, whom the
Board found unfit for service
many also resigned for fear of unfavor-
able report. AS these officers came from
the active list of the army, the vacan-
cies occasioned by their retirement can
be filled by the most capable of the SUI
pernumerary officers and the rest of the
latter class can be discharged under the
existing law

THE DISORDERS AT LYONS.

LYONS, Dec. 20, VIA LONDON, Dec "a.
The occupation of Nuts by the ene-
my caused panic here. Meetings
were held, at which the orators made
frantic appeals to the multitude. The
tocsin was sounded, the National and
Mobile Guards appeared, and delega-
cations assembled. A procession of
women in mourning passed through
the streets. The Red Republicans
gathered in large numbers before the
Hotel de Vile, and clamored for ven
geance. Gen. Conaud, commander Of
the National Guard, refused them adj
mission to the hall. He was assailed
and his sword broken, and, in self
defence, discharged his revolver at the
assailapts. The mob then rushed upon
and overpowered him, and, after jury
trial, he was condemned to death, and
shot a few minutes after receiving sen
tence. The troops remained passive
during the disorders,

To dwell in our crystalline lake;

In the depths Of the NOISY dell.

Forever the blossoms blow,
Perennial Spring her garlauds bring
For the nymph Of the wave below,
Where the silvery veil
Hides the bride Of the dale
Hides her tresses Of beautiful snow.

Tho clustered bride stands all alone,
Whose lips shall never be free,
Content while the fountains dow,
While ever bright blossoms blow.

Sugar Heels tor Cow 1.

cultural Club that the cost of raising

bushel; that the product of an acre
will feed twenty-five COWS eight weeks
Four pounds of seed TO the acre is re-
quired, sown, rs early as the soil can
be prepared in May, in rows two-and-a "a
half feet apart, and the plants eigh-
teen inches apart in the rows The Ia
Dor has been the great bugbear in the
root culture; but Mr.. Lane says that
the principal labor is in the thinning
the horse cultivator will do tho rest,
and should be used often, and adds,
that store hogs winter well upon these
roots.
The President Of the club thought
beets were excellent for hogs and better
still for COWS A bushel day and one
ton of hay for the winter are better
for COW than two ton of hay without
the roots They are as easily cultivated
az corn, if proper care be taken at the
outset They are more profitable for
mich cow, than any other crop, IN
less it be green corn in August.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

NEW York, Dec. pa special dis
patch from Versailles of the 22d inst.
shows that Paris yet retains her old
brilliancy. The necessary business o.
the day is conducted as gaily as usual
within her precincts, and cabs and ON
nibusses ply the streets, and ship mas
ters display their tempting array just
as in former times.
The sortie of few days ago was a
gallant effort, but it was completely
repealed. 1t was bold in its compila-
ton, but feeble in its execution. There
were 100, 900 men engaged, besides gun
boats, and upward of 20 batteries, with.
out counting guns in earthworks. The
German losses were insignificant.

BORDEAUX, Dec. 24.-The official re-

shows that Gen. Ducrot was attacked
by "a, 600 Prussians, with heavy force

more than 500 killed and wounded,
among whom were Duke William of b.

fought bravely by the side of regular
troops. Reinforcements came up the
next morning, and the Germans retreat

Mr.. j. G. Brown, Of Henry county,
H., in speaking of the yield of corn in
his vicinity this year, in comparison
with 1869 and 1868, says
The quality of this seasons crop is
generally superior, last seasons inferi
or, and year before last fair The aver
age of corn is twenty per cent greater
this year than last, and wheat forty per
cent.
A general report Of large crop of
corn is universally circulated by the
press; but bur observations in geneaI
of the principal corn growing counties
of this State, and through the central
part OF Iowa, do not justify the report.
A fair crop was found in Fulton county,
this State, and Jasper county, Iowa,
while the crop in other portions was
generally found to be greatly below an
average. The increase in acreage will
not make up the decrease in yield and
we believe the cry of "large crop" will
be turned to 'short crop" before an
other is grown.

The Mason and Hamlin Organ Company
have recently purchased two acres OF land in
Camhidgeport, and erected another factory
for tho making of their various styles of Or
gans. Tho Grand Junction Railway, which
connects the several railroads running into
Boston, passes just in the rear Of their Cam
bridgeport lot, and will lay down all the ma
terials used in their business at their door,
and 80 obviate the expense of carriage,
The Mason and Hamlin Company have
hitherto produced more Cabinet Organs than
any other manufacturer in the world, and
any other manufacturer in this country. But
the demand for their instruments has been so
great that at no time for several years have
they been able to fill their orders. With the
increased facilities which their new factory
will afford them, they can turn out two
hundred instruments every week, or mora
than ten thousand year--enough. one would
suppose, to supply the whole world.
The Mason and Hamln organs have increas-
ed in excellence as rapidly az IN numbers. -

been made in style or quality. Scientific ex-

Some weeks back French Colonel
was placed at the head of regiment
being formed IN central town-at
Nevers, if we have been rightly in
formed. The officers spent their time
in the cafes; the soldiers in like manner
went to tte cabarets, every one coming
into barracks when he liked, and pay
ing little attention to the beat Of the
drum; as to exercise, little or nothing
was done. "This cannot last" said
the Colonel, and for the next day he
commanded long drill in person; a
march occupied the afternoon. On the
succeeding day they had long march,
and after soup the soldiers
We're again called to drill Murmurs
soon broke out, and threats were utter
ed, of which the Colonel was informed;
and on the third day, after long and
tiresome drill, he came alone into the
barrack yard. An old soldier, who had
spoken u good deal and had drank
somewhat at the canteen, came up to
make complaints, and in doing so en-
ployed an insolent gesture. The Col
onel very cody drew pistol from his
pocket, and blew out the mans brains;
he then had the&ppel beaten, and
standing beside the corpse, he said:
"You are 5000 here, and am alone;
you can murder me, but you will kill a
brave man who has punished a coward
and traitor" The response was,
give lie Colonel !" and from that mo-
ment order and discipline were restored.
