Columbus, May /. The celebration here
to-day in honor of the German victories and
the return of peace was grand affair. The
process of decorating the buildings COM
menced last evening, and this morning the
city presented a magnificent appearance. The
German and American colors were displayed
from almost every house on High and Third
streets. The procession moved through the
principal streets and stoppad at City Park,
where speeches were made by Gov. Hayes
and Prince Won Lynor of King Williams
staff. The demonstration was the largest
seen in this city since the day when the re-
maines of President Lincoln passed through
in 1865.
The General Assembly is still in session,
and probably will be nearly all night. The
Appropriation bill failed to pass the Senate and,
fears are entertained that the Legislature will
adjourn tomorrow without making any pro-
vision for the expenses of the State govern
ment, for the support of public schools, and
benevolent institutions, and for the payment
of the interest and principal of the public
debt.

A horse belonging to Mr.. George Cleaves
of Windsor, which was left to bait in the
street opposite Hamlen Philbrook's, yester-
day afternoon, took fright and ran down street
drawing a wagon filled with egg boxes which
happily, were empty. Mr.. Albert Daggett,
of Manchester, had just been purchasing gro-
ceries, and his horse with wagon attached,
was hitched near Whithed's store. The run
away struck the wheel of Daggett's wagon
with such force as to break the whiff1e-tree,
causing Cleaves' horse to separate himself
from the vehicle. Both wagons were badly
damaged, and it is very wonderful that no
persons were injured, as many were in the
