T r- Tiuss very properly calls upon the authorities to take immediate measures to prov.de for the relief of the sufferers. In the case of such an «wiul calamity as this, it becomes a question that affects not alone the city of Uttaws, but in which the whole Province is interssted. Thousands of famulies have lost their all, thousands are completely destitute, and hare not whqi.tflhpyfcibdc ter, and at such a time, it becomes the duty of us all to give our.mite to assist suffering fellow countrymen. * ~ | f Cortland village, N.

There was no .'mm unfortunate victim of this had really beeh guilty of any impropriety, but even if there were, could anything justify such abominable treat. ment? We do not believe that in any other country in th» world claiming to be civilized, such an outrage upon: a defenceâ€" less woman would . be perpetrated. It is not . that â€" the â€" Americans are less humane than other people, but simply because the certain consequence of WMB&W men to take the law into their own hands, to pay nnpdnmmfioflfiquflh set themselves up as judges of right and wrong. Every day the spirit of lawlessâ€" ness grows stronger and more deflant. Even in New York a judge who lately did his duty without fear or favor, is dogged by) assassins and compelied to have a bodyâ€" ° . guard to protect him ; the body of » criâ€" minal lay in state and was followed to the grave by five thousand free and enlight: ened :‘ men are set upon and hi in .the public streets in broad and no effort is made to punish the murderers.

From out of the mase of conâ€" tradictions and wild improbabilities which come to us, hoâ€"wever, in the guise of new»s, we think that we may without any _ bési tion accept as true one or t leading fucotse, viz : ° zfii.

Three weeks ago the «~‘diers of the Empire mu+â€" ‘ tered on the frontier eager to commence the task assigned to them, viz., not the defence of France, but the conquest of Germany. The goniug_of Van W“ however, proved too \h for them.

Singe then the news which has reached us has been so conflicting and" so obviously oneâ€"sided | in favor of Frussia, that it is difficult to unâ€" derstand what really hi occurred. But those who suppose that the French army has been reduced to a disorderiy rabble and driven back like a flock of sheep beâ€" fore the , victorious, Prussian advance, are in our ofinign libbdring under a great misâ€" take. l‘l% French in falling back have evidently. tried to uvo‘d risking a decisive wu.uru y could eftaect a concentra tration xza_twd corps d armee, and receive some assistance from the reinforceâ€" ments which are daily and hourly being pmh.dfornnom' front.

In cither case we may hope that the other. great powers will hive an opportunity of inter vening in the interests of peace, and that the further effusion of blood will be stayed Some people are very fond of talking Mthhpn.n-"dlhlfdnl'm ‘An-nrhhlooy'do.codthh‘”"" is given in their merchant marine, which ;y-no.o'-'nhrp-u of Eng o"b.-'lyn.{ At present figures stand thus : Shs Umited States hfi [ arinage s 1426 â€" 1,851.18" C Stntes. . ... . 807 . ~_ A3,@#2 In other words, Eagland owns 24,501 ships with a tounge of 8,544,920 tons, wihile the United Atates have only 7,062%2 vessels with a tonnage of 2,914, 399 toms.
