The priests' practical response to the

The securing ,of Sligo will give a total to

A Cork cable says: While the judge was
summing up to -day in' the Court House
here in the case of the Government against
Michael O'Brien Dalton and others, charged
with assaulting the police and with rioting
at Tipperary at the time of the trial or
Wm. O'Brien and John Dillon, the Court
House was suddenly sat on fire, and a
scene of alarm and confusion followed. All
the 000a ante of the building eooaped safely
into the street. The police are inveetigating
the affair.. The fire was discovered by a
berrister,'who notioed the refleotion of the
flames on the glees dome of the root. The
court was packed at the time, and only the
coolness -of -the-jadge_.and.._the__polioe- pre-
,vented•a panic. Despite all efforts to-
extinguish
o
extinguish the fire the flames spread
rapidly and the building was soon
all ablaze: The mart house, in-
cluding the municipal chamber 'and. the
oity and county offices, was totally
destroyed. A. heavy wind whioh was
blowiat the time baffled the efforts of
the firemen, and aided in the rapid piogreeo
of the flames. The intones hest melted the
lead on the root, end the molten metal
poured to the ground in.streams, further
hindering the work of the firemen. During
the height of the fire the roof of the Court
Souse soddenly fell in with.a crash and
the walla collapsed, to the imminent peril
of a large number of bystanders. Some of
the arohives were saved, but many doon-
menta, some of them dating . back for
oentnries, Were destroyed. When the flag-
staff which surmounted the building was
burned away and the Union Jaak fell into
the flame° the onlookers sent up a great
obeer. The fire, it is thought, was caused
by a defeotive flue, which ignited the
woodwork ot the roof.` The trial; which
was eo rudely disturbed, will be resumed at
a later date. _
He Beats a Siok Boy, Until His Ltie is Des-
paired of.
A Norwalk, Conn., despatch says : Pro.
lessor 'E. H. Dumber*, of the East
Norwalk school, severely whipped Richard
...Hendriake_ one_.of his _pnpile, _yesterday
morning, and will have do answer fol it in
court.
The boy has been absent, siok, for a week,
and when be appeared in eohool this morn
ing he gave' the professor a note from his
mother explaining his absence. The pro.
Weer said it was e, forgery, and ordered
the boy to go to his private room. There
the ptofessor bea-t-'hi eevereiy-about-the-
body with a ruler.
' The boy was carried to hie home by his
d aaemetee. The Sower part of his body
was beaten to a pulpy mase of jelly, from
whioh upon the slightest : touch blood
oozed. The boy was placed in bed and
medical Aid summoned. He 'is at present
in a critical condition. The mother of the
• - boy swore out a warrant for the. arrest of
'teacher. She also complained to the Con-
necticut Humane Booiety, and the society
will take action in the matter. She also
intend to bring a civil snit against Pro -
feasor Dumbart for damages.
The. motion of the profeaeor is harshly
criticized here, and a number of parent° of
children who attend the school have taken
their children away. Professor Dumbart
came .to this city from. Brooklyn, where,
it is claimed, he lost a lnorative position in
the schools on account of hie treatment of
the scholars. :
". France would have t0 receive ner share
in the traneaotion on the Rhine- frontier."
Prince -Biemarok—I thought so ; but that
is impossible. Publio opinion would never
consent to the cession of a portion of a
Bingle German village. Would you like
Belgium ?
Prince Napoleon—We mighttalk of that,
but how about England ?
Bismarok--I don't care a rap for what
England could sly. - Wnnt o,2r, she ..o .
She could. not mobilize over a hundred
thousand, or et most a hundred and fifty
thousand men.. Well, are we not strong
enough together to sweep them into the
ohannel?
Prince Napoleon --Would it not be useful
to jot down these ideas on paper to make a
memorandum that could be shown to 'the
Emperor ?
Bismarok—Yea would like a signed
secret treaty ? What would be the use ?
If it is to my -advantage I will execute '11
without its being written out. On the con-
trary case, a gesture finished the eentenoe.
The' Chancellor added' that he bad not
spoken to Emperor Napoleon in each plain
term', beoanee Napoleon was a woman.
Prince Napolean told the Chancellor he
would inform the Emperor of the oonversa•
tion in the following terms Sire—Prince
Bismarck proposer, a great sot of knavery.
We can't arrest and take him before the
Polios Commissary, then let ne be knave'
with him.
The Marquis De Villenuve oonoludee by
saying that Prince Napoleon returned to
Paris and advised the Emperor to invade
Belgium the day Prussia declared war on
Austria. but the Emperor's love of peace
and 'justice --which the ChanoelloL _had
termed "absurdities" parried the day in'
the mind Of Napoleon III.

paper as " well balanced, luminous, and
breathing the intellectual sincerity _ of
Wesley.' The Scotch profeaeor Bruce

Wacker lane, but who has forr the last two
weeks been living on Patteson place with a
woman named Minnie' Hillman, was pur-
sued by Deteotive.Burrows and P. 0. Pat-

" I know what you want, Burrows ; l'm a
goner, but I'll go with you ; don't shoot."
Foot was taken to No. 1 Polioe station and
looked up. All of the parties connected
with the affair are of the lowest possible
character. Doyle, who is a mulatto, had
more than a eoore of times been before the
Magistrate, and bas the reputation of being
one of the tougheet mon that the polies has
to contend with. Foot was sentenced to
six months' imprisonment by the Police
