Ten DAYS Later from Europe.

The steamer America arrived al HALIFAX
at noon on Friday last, with dates from
Liverpool to the 7lh inst, being ten days
later. Though there Is little news from
the seat of war, there having been no
fighting of consequence, the negotiations
are becoming most complicated and crIlI-
cal. On the I'd of December a treaty Of
alliance was signed at Vienna between
Austria. France, and England, the exact
termsor which are not known, but Ii IS
understood that if Russia should not ac-
cede to the Allied proposition for peace
before the 2nd of January. that AUSTRIA
will take up the cudgeIs OF war, and JOIN
the Alliance against her. Affairs before
Sebastopol are unchanged.
Flour is unchanged with moderate de-
mand at previous rates.

comes too late Do not trife with disease -

the appetite feeble, the mind lethargic, the
nerves unnaturaIly sensitive, and the head con-

occur, the powers of vitality are failing, and
that, unless the mischief is promptly checked

DR.. John Mnge, of the city of Richmond,
though regular physician, and of course OPP
posed to what he called quack medicines, was
obliged to say that its good effects in the case
Of Mr.. Ramsey, were wonderful indeed.
He had been given up by several physicians;
had tried most of the quack medicines, and was
on the verge of despair, as well as the grave,
when he tried Carriers Spanish Mixture.

AMERICUS.

THE INTERNAL MACHINE CASE The
trial of William ArriSon, for the murder of
Isaac Allison and wife, is still pending be-
fore the Criminal Court at Cincinnati.
The testimony bears hard upon the ac-
cused. The man who made the fatal tor
pedo box Identifies Arrson as the one
who employed him, and the box pEesen-
ted as the one made. Another witness
Identifies AFrson as the man who, after
the box was made, called to have it alter
ed; the witness picked ont the very piece
of the box in court which Arrison himself
tried to fix, but not succeeding, said,
"D--n the thing, | wish you would fix
it, and in answer 10 the question at the
time by the witness as TO what the box
was for, Arrison replied. "Ask me no
questions and I'll tell you no lies" An
expert pronounced documents known to
have been written by Arrison, and the let
ter received at the Cincinnati post office
from Iowa which led TO Arrison's detcc-
ton, as the writing Of the same man. A
young man also swears that Arrison is the
one who got witness to write the name of

Longworth," on a card, which card was
produced in court, and was attached 10
