A STRIKING FACT.

By D. T. B.

At the time of the Franco-Prussian war, preparations were made for a massacre of the Protestants in several cities and villages of this part of France. But the very day appointed for this slaughter, Napoleon III, met with his defeat. The Protestants were apprised of the plot by sympathizing Catholics. Some fled or hid, as in the days of the Waldenses; others armed themselves for the conflict. Yesterday, several faithful witnesses told me that in a city not far from here two brothers who had been very active in stirring up this spirit of persecution hanged themselves when they saw that their plan had failed.
