It is generally expected that the cession of French territory, provided for in the recent treaty, will be severely criticized in the As sembly. The Communists and Versaillists, during the past two days, have made several sorties, and in the collisions the former were gener ally worsted. . An organization of many thousands exists in Paris ready to rise against the Commune as soon as the Yeisaillists assault the ramparts of the capital.

STIUCUXINE AND WHISKY. Letter of a Deliberate and Philosophical feulcme. Homer F. Wood, of Little Rock, Ark., com mitted suicide recently by taking strychnine in wbltkv. He left the following letter: Dear Gay: My last card is played, and I stand upon the brink of eternity, with no fears or hopes for my future In that uncertainty. I have lived during tbe past month in a continual lever of excitement, produced by a desire to do justice to those who nave claims upon me, and a sense of my inability to do so. Life, at best, is one of tho vilest humbugs that could be imposed on mankind. lth me Its trials and struggles have so overbalanced the enjoyment that I believe that my heart has turned to stone. I am as much unlike what I was one year ago as an oyster is unlike a rose. I have just drank a whisky straight, 'lis the first In almost five years. I took a big one. Did I ever tell you that when next I drank it would be as my shadow fell acrcss the portals of eternity ? Tis even so, and soon will I bo called to give an account of my foolishness down here. Good-bye, Billy. Good-bye even-body; and let those who censure this act beware of marry ing cousins; 1 AM A monomaniac. These letters were written in capitals. -u,n. There are no words to my w ife that can give consolation for the disgrace which I cause. My eyes are blinded with tears at the thought of htr love for me. But I cannot help what I am about to do. I will have one tune on the guitar, and then with my strychnine and whisky I'll hunt a place to die. Homer F. Wood. F. 8. One bonr later. I have drank one quart of whisky, and am as sober as 1 was before taking the stuff. 1 almost believe that 1 am crazy. Yours, Wood. A drug clerk gave a sick horse opium for aloes.

ANOTIIEK BIG TUKKEL. The Vnltetl States b Canada to be United y a Tannel Over Klght Thousand Feet In Length under the Detroit River. From th Iron Age. The building of the great sub-flavlal tunnel under the Detroit river, the completion of which is now assured by the practical consolidation of the Michigan Central and Great Western Rail roads, will be the greatest engineering work of its kind ever projected in this couutry, if not In the world. The lake tunnel at Chicago, though of considerable length, is of email capacity, and will bear no comparison with that to be built at Detroit, while those carried under the river at the former city, though of good size, are so short as to be in all respects Inferior to the present undertaking as engineering works. In tile MAGNITUDE OF THE I'LAN of its construction, in the capacity it will have under water, and in the amount of business which will pass through it, the Detroit tunnel will certainly have no rival upon this continent until the long-contemplated scheme of uniting New York with the New Jersey shore by a tuu nel under the Hudson is carried into effect. The plan finally adopted by the tunnel com pany for the construction of the great work is substantially the same as that prepared some months since by Mr. Chesbrough, of Chicago. Tbe length from the Detroit to the Canada por tal will be 8508 feet. It will be built in two separate parts, with a view to diminishing the amount of excavation necessary, and lessening the liability to accident, and also for the impor tant consideration that, if an accident should occur in one half, the other would still be avail able for the passage of trains. Tbe parallel tunnels will be cylindrical in form, and will be fifty feet apart. THE INTERIOR DIAMETER of each is 18.1 feet, and at all points under the river tbe shell of masonry will tbe two feet in thickness. The excavation will be made through a stratum of bard clay, and it Is not intended tbat it should at any point come within less than 20 feet of the surface of the bed. Whenever It is found that the distance is less than this ave rage, clay will be filled in to a sufficient depth to avoid the possibility of rccldcnt. In additlou to the main tunnels a small drainage tunnel, with an Interior diameter of five feet, will be built considerably below the main lines and mid way between them, This will be first con structed, in order to drain the main tunnels while the work progresses, as well as after ward, and also to fully develop the character of the soil at the commencement of the work. The grade of the transit tunnels is one in fifty at each end, witn luuo feet of level line under the river, The estimates for excavation and masonry are as loliows: Cubic Yard. Excavation In open cutting 200,000 nxcavanon in tunncis 'z;)3,uou Brick masonry (exclusive of drainage tun nel) CS.noo Stone masonry 8,700 The entire cost of the tunnel and approaches including a permanent double track of stee rails, rieht of way at the ends, etc., will amount to i2,50,000. I he enterprise is one 01 great magnitude and importance, and its completion will mark the beginning 01 a new era in American railroad engineering. IMMIGRATION STATISTICS. The Annual Report of the Xcw York Com mlHStoncrs. From the annual report of the Commissioners of Emigration, which has just been issued, it appears tbat tbe total number of passengers landed at New York during 1870 was 255,48(5, of wnom 213,171) were aliens, a decrease or 4.),..1'J from the number in 1809. The number of Ger man immigrants in 1870 was 72,350, less by 27,255 than during the preceding year. The total number 01 Irish immigrants, 05,108, also shows a decrease of 1030. Of these immigrants 104,088 came in steamers, and 18,834 in sailing vessels. The number of persons relieved last year Ry the Commissioners of Immigration was 7 1,0 1 'J, and the amount 01 commutation money received by the commissioners was $531,830-50, of which a surplus of $350,503-88 remained on the 31st 01 December, ine commission nas now been in existence for twenty-four years, during which time 4,500,000 immigrants have landed in New York, of whom 1,320,012 have been assisted and provided with employment. On the 2d of February the commissioners re solved to reduce the amount of the commuta tlon money from $2-50 to fLSO. The report concludes with an allusion to the frequent evasion of the payment of the commutation money by several of the steamship companies, by landing immigrants at another port, and forwardine: them by rail -to New York. These lm migrants are expressly excluded by law from all the benehts 01 the landing depot and the resources of Ward's Island. The commissioners therefore suggest that all railroad and steam ship companies should be compelled to pay commutation for all immigrants bo transported lrom otner points to JNew iotk. AFFRAY IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH. A Junatlc Stabs a Man and Brandishes an Axe The Congregation Threaten to Lynch Him. During the morning service on Sunday in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, at Lexington avenue and Sixty-sixth street, New York, Jonn uioney. an irisn stone-cutter, aged thirty- five, entered, wearing his hat. The sex ton, James McLarney, requested him to remove it. uioney reiusea, ana ine sexton oraereu mm to leave the church. Glbney declined to go, and as he acted in a somewhat disorderly man ner, two or three of the congregation stepped forwaid to assist the sexton lu expelling mm. lie then drew a knife and stabbed Michael Cully in the head, the point 01 the blade breaking off and remaining In the skull, inflicting a very terious wound. Several other members of the congregation then came up and were about to seize (iibney, when he drew au axe from under his coat, flourished it over his head, and loudly declared that he would "brain any niau" who attempted to interfere with him. Tbe excite ment among the congregation now became intense. Many shouted "llang him ! '"Lynch him !" ami a rope was Epecdily procured.. A ruth was made for him, and he was seized and disarmed, but "before tbe crowd could cxrry their threats of lynching Into execution officers appeared, took (ilbneyinto custody, and locked him up in the East Fifty-niuth Street Police Station. It is believed that he is lnsaue on the question of religion. THE PRESBYTERIANS. The Approaching General Assembly of the The Gecernl Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of tbe United States will assemble in the First Presbvterian church, Chicago, Illinois, on Thursday, the 18th inst, and will be opened witn a sermon by Rev. Dr. Backus, Moderator This is the second assembly of the reunited Church, and, meeting in such a central place, it is expected that it will be well attended by representative men from all parts of the coun try. . ... The important business 01 reconstruction will occupy a large portion of the Assembly s time The report of the Committee on tbe Memorial Fund will eagerly oe looked lor. This move me lit is having a marked effect. Ministers are by it provided with comfortable houses. Loads of debt have been swept away, and besides all this it is expected that a large sum will be available for seminaries, the boards, and susteu tatlon. There is every reason to believe that five million dollars at leaEt will be reported. The Home Mission report win suovr a pros perous work in organizing new churches. An overture from the New York Presbytery con cemlng the voluntary demission of the ministry by such as may desire it, is likely to give rise to keen debate. The reception of delegates from Britain, Canada, etc., will be an interesting leature. Some "new beginners" are practising on such specimens as these: ''How much does a fool weigh generally? A simple ton. In what color should a secret be keyU lo violet. ANOTHER WARNING. 1 "What Came of Kindling a Fire with Kcroicnt. The Trenton State Gazette of yesterday says: A very distressing affair occurred on Saturday morning, about half-past 9 o clock, at the resi dence of William W. Ward, at No. 17 Ewlog street. Ills servant girl, Miss Annie Corbitt, aged about twenty-three years, was engaged in baking, and, anxious to increase the heat of the oven, took the kerosene can and was In the act of pouring the fluid on the fire, when it ignited. 1 wo heavy expioFions, leanui in tneir cnarac tr, and alarming the neighbors, took place. In a moment the poor girl was enveloped in flames. She ran out into the yard, and stood a moment on the platform or piazza in the rear, screaming terribly. Two persons from the street came rushing In, with horse blankets, and smothered the flames. The scene was heart-rending. The place where she stood on the platform Is charred In several places wherever she moved. When she was uncovered, after the blankets had been thrown around her. it was found that she had been shockingly burned. In about an hour her suffer ings were ended by death. Coroner Tarsons was notified and viewed the body, but did not think it necessary to hold an Inquest. REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION. PEREMPTORY SALE. TIIOMAS SONS, Auctioneers.

LAGER BEER poRTKR APPARAXCS W. W. FENNER, No. 127 NORTH SIXTH STREET, Sole Agent for Strater'a Patent. This machine is entirely different irom the old style Beer Pump. It performs its own work, and requires no labor. The liquors are forced up from tbe cellar to tbe bar-room by means of a pressure of air made by force of water, and can be drawn just as clear as directly from the barrel. Among the many advantages claimed for thla machine are, tbat tbe beer or ale never becomes, flat, and can be drawn as cold as Ice water with very small expense of Ice.
