Chopin’s Birthplace Destroyed.

The birthplace of Chopin, the Polish composer, has been completely destroyed by the fleeing Russians. The country estate at Zelazowa-Wola near Warsaw, where the immortal genius was born, was burned and of the monument of the composer in the park of the castle nothing is left but a pile of broken stones.
