There had been a treaty negotiated before ,Napoleon's escape from Elba and the war ending at Waterloo, but the new war requiredlhat it should be succeeded by a new Treaty of peace. The allies were this time not content to grant such liberal terms as they had awarded in.the preceding -year, and some of them even demanded the OW sion Of the most important provinces of which the Bourbon- princes had( de - veiled their monarchies and added to that of Clovis. Austria insisted upon getting back Alsao and Lorrame,, and Spain put in cfairato the Basque provinces, wh4e Pres- sia and the Netherlands demanded the for- tified positions on their frontiers. Russia, who had nothing to gain, supported,France. The claimants, that they might the better support their pretere4ion8 in the debate, maintained their armies, which had entered • Ou all sides on the Frenth soil, so that above soql000 troops were. quartered on the inhabitants for several months. The • hegotiation was protracted at Paris till late in the autumn, and it was not until Nov- ember 20, 1815, that all difficulties were ad- justed and the second treaty of. Paris was conclud ed. CONDITIONS OF THE FINAL TREATY. • Though the treaty was faefrom being , as severe as some of the allies would have it, still the conditions • were of a very onerous. kind. The basis laid down by the allied Powers was. that of the indemnity aue to. them for their exertions occasioned by the late enterprise of Napoleon could not be comprised entirely in cession of territory or in pecuniary payments without , being in- jurious to the interests of France, and that . consequently it was desirous to unite them; also that it was necessary for a time to keep the frontier provinces of France OCGu- pit-d by a 'number of the allied troops. -Of elle articles which followed, the first declar- ed that the French frontiers should' be re . gtored to the position in which they were in 1790with the exceptions of some modi- . -fications thibsequently described. The prin- • , cipal cessions of territory were on the bor- ders of Belgium and the upper Rhine and in the vieinity of Geneva, the whole not considerable in extent,-: but impOrtant en- tirely to France, with a yary011, ou the left bank, not exceeding one thousand toises.— Austria afterwards, by a territorial exchange with Bavaria, transferred her Rhenish. pos- sessions to t at power, and Landau. became a fedeeal for ress: A pett of the Pays de 1 1. Gex Was also ceded to the Helvetic Con- federacy- in order to unite tt e canton of Ge- neva with the rest ofSwitze iand. Beyond that point to the Mediterrarean, the lme sf demarkation was to be the same as, that which, in 1780, separated France from. Sa- voy and the con:4u of Nice, by . which change a portion of Savoy that in 1814 re,. mained to France, was restored to the King of Sardinia. As the readeris aware, both' Savoy and Nice now belong to France, Na - pekoe the Third having obtained them as the price off his aid to Italy in 1859. The relations which the treaty of Paris of 1814 had re-established between Pranee and the principality of Menace were to ceaaefor ever, and the same relations were to exist be- tween the Principality and the King of Sardinia. IR addition to these arrange= meets the fortifications of the French fort- ress of Huningence, which conamarided the city of Bessie, were to be. demolished, and no other fortifications were to be erect- ed at less than a distance of three leaves from that city. • A Singular Case. • iltOCKING TREA.TMENT OF A YOUNG LADY IN RICHMOND. The Richmond correspondent of .the Pe- tersburg Courier writes:—The chief topic • of the town now is the outrageous treatment of their neice, Miss Mollie Stevens,. by Mr. Liva Lafond and his wife. The accused • have been arrested on a charge of the most heartless cruelty toward the unfortunate yonng lady whom they had in their power. The matter has been much talked of for se- • veral weeks in that part of the city where Lafond lives. The neighbors have observ- ed how Miss Stevens was beaten, starved, iraprisoned._andptherwise infamously dealt with. She has had no sufficient or decent clothing, and She -has been kept in a Most filthy condition, so ab to deter her from venturieg abroadshould she get out of her lock-toom. _ • • At the windows of this room she has oft- en stood, piteously begging every one who eaine within hearing for bread. She has almost daily been heard to shriekand screa 83 under the blows and other tortures inflicted upon her by her unnatural uncle and aunt. Some time ago a number of ladies rushed into Lafond's house to her rescue, and found her held down. Ora the floor by her aunt, who was stuffing salt in •quantities into her mouth, eyes and nose. On Sunday last, her cries becanae heart- rending, the neighbors again invading the premises, caught Lafond himself, armed with apacidle bored full of holes, and beating her pitilessly.- . She is a skeleton, bruised and scarred from head to foot, scarcely able to walk alone, and almost an idiot from her suffer- ings. Clothes had to be given her to cover her before she could be brought into the police court. The examination of Lafond and his wife is postponed, and Miss Stevens has been placed in charge of a family that will take good cai:e Of her. Her guardian and brother, who live in an adjoining countyf'have been sent for. - • All the parties are said to be respectable. and �f good roily, and. the guardian of Miss Stevens pays Lafonta libbral monthly allowance for her board and clothing. A Romantic Incident ha the West. A DAUGHTER FOUND AFTER THIRTEEN YEAR, From the Kamm City Time8, July 27th. Nearly thirteen veirrs ago there lived on the banks of the Ohio, but a few miles from the city of Louisville, a man by the name of Henrr 0. Danforth, the family consist- ing of himself, wife and one child, a daugh- ter, °Ay a little more than two years of age. One day the child esbaped the vigi- lant eye of the mother and wancleied -from the house. Search wasmade, but 110 trace could be found of their prattling darling uatil reaching the banks of the river, where her little bonnet was seen near the mare gin of the water. Then, indeed, the little one Was 1110111-DSC1 AS dead, andionly a moth- er's heart can fathom the ago* of !the be- reaved parents. Otherechildren dame to take the place of are lost one at the fire - •side, and the first storm of grief at the ter. rible _ affliction had given away to quiet •submissisn, still the blue, daucing waters of the _Ohio always caused expressive sad. ness te their bereav'ed hearts. 4 Five years ago the family removed to St Louis, where they have resided ever since, On Saturday Mr. Danforth received an anonyinorts letter .from this city,. urging him to come up im- mediately if he wished to find his daughs ter whom he supposed was urowned thir- .teen years before. He arrived in this city on Monday last, and proceeded to the place designated in the letter, and found a wo- man whom he had known in other days, rapidly nearing the grave, and a your.g girl in attendance on her. She pointed to the child iminediately on his entrance; saying "that is your drowned child," and entered upon i‘,n explarratiori which convinced him of the truth of her words. It seemed that he himself \vas the innocent cause ofthe affair. The !woman bad -loved hini previous to his marriage, and when the words were spoken binding him to another all the worst passions'of her nature were aroused, and she deternrined upon some revenge, and how faithfully she executed her intention the above facts will testify. She had kept herself informed of his whereabouts, and when she knew that ',death would shortly elaim her as his victim, she cletermieecl to make all the reparation in her power.— Who can paint the joy of the father on finding the dead •alive? The womon, it . Seems had only been in OM' city some mondrs, comin0. from Cincinnati to which place she had first fted with'the child. She said she had always treatei her as she would aave done her own daughter, to whieh the child testified, and begged that the woman ,aa might be taken with them. The re- sult .was that yesterday evening the three took the train on t,he North Missouri Rail- road for St Louis, and ere this the waiting nsother has received the embraces of her long lost daughter. . Such incidents were of -,,frequent occurrence years ago, but in this 'modern age it calls forth no little astOnish- ment. -*es. Child Starved to Death: An instance, of brutal treatment of an infant came to light here during the latter part of last week that almost, if not quite, equals in brutality the late developments in "baby farming" in England. The facts of the case as they were told us by the grandfather of the little innocent are as fol- • lows : About two years ago a Mr. Michael Klotz, son-in-law of Mi i Peppier, of this place, removed from here to Detroit with his familv. In the early part of last win- ter his wife died after havingiven birth to b an infant.. Mrs. Peppier went over and brought the elder children to Waterloo, but the infant, owing to its tender age Wa8 thought unable to bear the fatigue of so long a journey and was left with the father.- -The latter in a short time married again. In the last week Mr. Peppier received sev- eral anonymone letters from Detroit stating thaathe infanti left by his daughter was 'being maltreated and urging him to come at once if he wished to see it alive, Mrs. Pep- pier_ accbrdingly*ent to Detroit last Thurs- day, and found the infant in a most filthy condition, owing to neglect, ,and literally reduced to "skin and bone" by starvation. Upon remonstrating with the inhuman. step- mother; the, latter replied with a torrent of abuse, and order -ed Mrs. Peppier to [leave the house. She, however, got possession • of the infant, and lest Saturday arrived with it here. Dr.1 Walden was at once called hi and he gave it as his opinion that the child had been reduced to its preSent low state by starvation, as it seemed perfectly healthy otherwise. Under his directions - suitable food was given to it in small quan- tities, which it devoured in the most raven- ous manner. It was too far gone, however, to save its life, and death put an end to its sufferings about 11 o'clock on Sunday rctorning. A large number scif our citizens went to see it both before and after its death and all agree in pronouncing it the most harrowing eight it had ever been their lot to witness. It vfas a living skeleton in every sense of the word. • We do not be- lieve as'pound of muscular fibre was left on its entire body. Such conduct is worse than murder, and hanging would be too il-t a p•unishment for it —Waterloo Citron- • OILING FARM IMPLEMENTS.—Every far- , mer should have a can of linseed oil and a brush on hand, and whenever he buys a new • tool, he should soak it well with oil and dry it by the fire or inithe sun before using. The wood by this treatment is- toughened and strengthened, and rendered impervious to water. Wet a new hay rake, and when it dries it will begin to be loose in the joints; but if Well oiled, the wet will have but little.effect. Shovels and forks are preServed from checking and cracking in the tow of the handle by oiling; the wood S.' A .......^.:=AZOPYINTSIVIEWSIMMIMilt• ,becomes smeoth as glass by use, nd is not liable to blister the hand when long used. Axe and hammer handles: often breats off where the Wood enter$ the iron; this part, particularly, should be toughened with oil, to secure durability. Oiling thewood in the byeof the axe will prevent its swelling and shrinking, and sometimes getting loose. The tools OD t large farm cost a large sum of money; they should' be of the irnist ap- proved kinds.' It is a poor economy, at the present extravagant prices for -labor, to set men to, work with ordinary, old fashioned implements. Laborers should be required to return their tools to the convenient places provided for them; after using, they should be put away clean and bright. The monld boards of ploughs are apt to get rus- ty from one season to another, even if shel- tered; they should be brushed over with a few drops of oil when pnt • away, and will then remain in good order till wanted. — Fares Joztirnal. • R.
