The Paris Mob .Rebellion.
The rebellion in. Fiance is still
continued with unabated ferocity.
Both parties are contending atrenu-
ously for the mastery. It does not
require the gift of prophesy, how-
ever, to foresee the end: The Reds
are daily. -beeoming weaker and
weaker,
weaker, and their position less tell-
able. The Government are drawing
their lines closer and closer about,
the capital; and the - insurgents
within -the city must soon be com-
pelled to throw up the sponge and,
plead for ;mercy. Fort . d'Issy is
gradually givieg way before the in-
cessant and heavy fire from the As-
semblists, and cannot hold out much.
longer. - Let Thiers and his. party
gain this important stronghold,
and their victory will soon be
achieved, and they will be installed
in the position which rightfully be-.
longs to them, and for which they
have so bravely contended. The
•position of affairs in the once gay
Eul d festi vet eity is - suiuplv depioi-
abie. With starvation staringehem
in the faCe, the people are beccmiii-ete
'completely ungovernable, and if
they are not shortly restrained by a
stronger hand than that which now
attempts. to retain possession - of
Paris, a second rebellion will ere
long ensue.

Deluding Immigrants.
• We notice by late, reports that
some one hundred and fifty English
immigrants, with some capital, have
arrived in tUeskoka, with the inten-
tiou of settling upon the free grant
lands there. Judging from accounts
which we have h,eard regarding that
country, we must say that we .are
sorry for them. We have it upon
the authority of reliable gentlemen
resident in this vicinity, who have
visited the free grant territory in
Muskoka, that by far the greater
portion of the land there is- enarely
unfit for culavation. Ali the timber
which is worth cutting is being sold
cff by the Government to Timber
Agents, and the poor settler is left,
nothing to depend , upon but the
small patches of arable land which
lie may.fish ()tat here and there from
among tthe locks. It is generally
acknowledged .by all, that the land
in the vicinity of Brecebridge is next
to worthless,. and we are intormed
Ty the gentlemen already alluded to,
hat the further into the country you
t,ao the worse it becomes. Those who'
have settled there are merely drag -
gine, out a miserable existeuee,
;lad only remain because they heere
not got the means whet ewith to re-
iaoye. Similar : reports have been
recei ved ever and over a g ait 1 from
i)ractical farmers who haVe gone ont
to explore the country and look out

that'Mr. it cDougail spoke trult ,
when he said, a few years ago, that

Provitice fit for -settlement. It
is all very well for political

.
the necessity for emigration to this
Province, and the fine homesteads

The Ppeaking was interspersed by
vocal music; of a most soul -stirring
natnre, and such as Gelman •voices
alone can produce. • This.marnmoth
choir contained some twenty-eight
voices, and was under the leader-
ship of Mr. Zoellner, of Waterloo
Village. The different bauds"pres-
ent, among which was that of the
Thirteenth Battalion, Hamilton, also
performed same pleasing !pieces in,
most artistic style. A congratulat-
ory address was read la behalf of the
English-speaking pepulation oftBer-
lin. At the conclusion of the
speeches and music, which laseed
about two hours, the
GRAND PROCESSION
was foamed. • The procession was
headed by 36 marshals mounted ou
horses, and appropriately decked
with 'sashes, badges, ac., and the
t •
leader of Whom carried the sword of
authority ; •next in order came the
German and English flags,,, each
borne by five gentlemen, then_ a
large wegon, drawn by four horses,.
and riehly decorated and covered
t
with ver greens. tastefully tied with
red, vhite, and blue 1 ibbons.- In
this Wagon were seated along in three
tiers, on each side, slanting ;tit. wa.rds,
a nuniber of small girls, dressed in
white, with their hands, arms, and
necks bare, with one of •their iititai-
ber standing in the centre holding
:up a emelt German flag ; behind this
double wagon was. a single wagon,
decorated in similar timelier, and
containing a number of stnalle girls
dressed and seated in the same way.
Of these there were thirq-five in all,
thirttefour representing the Gertnan
States, and one, she who stood in
the central position in the first

and although not f so large pro-
portions nor of so (• reat pretensions

THE CELEBRATION.
At aliont half -past twelve, the
crowd aga'n ass4.M1,led-itt the TO-WE1
proceeded through the principal
streets of the town, and then to
Waterloo Village, followed closely
by an immense numbee of the as-

grourids where halt was n ade, end
the speakers repaired to ti e balcony
of the Exhibition house, whence they
addressed the assembled multitude.

RE:MARKABLE SOBRIETY_
NotwAhstanding the immense

gradeand positions in society, it
Was a remarkable and noticeable
featiree, that but very few could et
all be seem the wore of liquor.
This niay be accounted for in a great
meaStue, no doubt, by the fact that
the beverage which the GerMans
generally indulge and delight in,
is lag.er beer, and prodigiau as is
the capacity of some of them for the
imbibition of this fluid, but few are
ali:e ;to consume sufficient to in-
toxicate.
DEPA,RTURE FOR THE WEST.
'Most of those who went down by

the 6`:30 train in the evening. The
crowd at the station watt so great

scramble for ;eats was something

three thoutsond people had, apparent
ly, to be stowed. This being the
case,' all seernep, to feel then Otiose
who grilled the inside of the cars

was made. Both- ears were packed

THE GERMANS IN WATERLOO.
The County of Waterloo may
justly be termed_ the Germany of
Ontario. • Nearly one-half of the
population of -that County es com-
posed of Germans:or their descend-
ents. With but remarkably 'few ex-
ceptions, they are a frugal, indus-
trious, unassurnind and intelligent
class of people. Many of them
when they -first settled that Coun-
ty had but little to fall back upqn,
awr
e strong ams and willing beasts;
and the row they had before them
to hoe was an exceedingly' difficult
one. That section of country, un-
1;ke this, was thickly timbered with
• pine, and • the la:id .was tied
very stony. But by dint of _Ger-
man perseverance and industry,
they have succeedeti in converting
this rugged soil into beaatifulfarme,
fertile and productive as a garden.
Notwithstanding • their long reel-
dence in this country, they still
tenaciously cling to the customs,
language, and even dress of the
Fatherland, and in this respect the
rising generation seem to be almost
as conservative as their fathers.

• James Walt, Hallett.
• Thomas White, Stephen.
Mr. J. V Naftal was chosen Fore-
man.
His Lordship addressed the
Grand Jury to the following effect f;
He was happy to see only two
• criminal cases, on the ca. endar,
only oue of which might perhaps
come before them. One of the par-
ties was charged with larceny. The
criminal intent was an essential elet
ment to constitute the crier. If a
perton believed he had a 'right to
the property, _though 'his 1 opinion
might be enoneous, it would not be
larceny but trespass. A nan might
take property with the view ot pay-
ing some debt dae him, with the be-
lief that -he had a right to do this.
This was something that the jury
might have an unfavorsble opinion
of. It was well parties should not
he encouraged to take the law into
• their own hande. Before bringing in
a Verdict of ‘t No Bill" in any case
they should have all the information
before them that could be given by
the Crown prosecutor. The other
charge \Sas one of embezzlement, an
offence very much akin to larceny.
They would have to consider the
evidence in both cases. The wit-
nesses were now usually examined
• before the Gland Jury and sworn
by the Foreman. Another part of
their duty would be the examina-
tion of the Gaol. 'lie had 110 doubt
the gaoler did his duty, lint a peri-
odical scrutiny was desirable. He
then dismissed them to their dillies.
