The Prospect Of War In Europe.

An intelligent American, now in
Paris, who has access to the best sources
Of information, whites the following, in
a private note, dated Feb. Sd, on the
present political aspect Of Europe.
i" Here, l think, the sentiment is al
most universal, that war must come
that the Emperor is determined upon il
that it may bo delayed little time
Lut that it is the only termination
to existing troubles.
It is undoubtedly true that tho ut
most activity prevails in all the French
arsenals, navy yards and dock yards. A
large additional number Of men have
been employed, and the work is prosecu-
ted with the greatest energy by relays
Of hands, working extra hours, and
nights as we'll as days. Arms, munitions
and provisions are accum ulated, and are
transported exactly to those points where,
if war was to exist tomorrow, they
would be wanted tomorrow. The army
and navy are both reinforced, large ad
tional numbers of men have been added
to the army on the southeastern line Of
France. ] am told, on what l believe
to be reliable authority, that the gov
ernment recently purchased twenty five
thousand horses; and | also hear, as a
rumor, and which seems to be confirmed
by some circumstances, and certainly is
credited by very intelligent and gen.
orally we'll informed persons, that an
army Of $4,000 is on its way nominally
to Algiers, really to reinforce the garri-
son in Civita Vecchia and Rome, and
thus to secure an approach to Ancona
and reinforcementa that will make the
French army in Rome 10000 strong.
Il is asserted with the utmost conf
dence, that treaty Of alliance, offen-
sive and defensive, has been actually
signed between France, Russia and Sar-
dinia. II is impossible to know the act
ual truth 10 regard to this, for the gov
ernmcnt keeps its own counsels-but q
gentleman who has more than ordinary
means Of getting ut the truth that is
kept from the public ego, told me two
days since, that he had no doubt Of it,
although he could not positively assert
it."

Manuscript Of the Sacred Scriptures.

The original scriptures Of the Old
Testament were written in Hebrew;
those Of tue New Testament in Greek.
Some chapters, however in Daniel and
Ezra, and a verse in Jeremiah, were
written in Chaldaic; and the Gospel BY
Matthew is supposed BY some scholars
to have been frst written in Syriac, and
afterwards in Greek. The art of print
ing was discovered in Europe in the
fifteenth century, and one Of the first
books printed was the Bible. Previous.
", the sacred scriptures we're transmit
ted entirely by manuscript. Many very
ancient manuscripts are still in exist
ence. Although there is abundant evil
dencc that extraordinary care was exer-
cised in copying from one manuscript to
another, it is not surprising that occa-
sional errors in words or letters would
occur. No single one, however, is sup
posed to be entirely free frop faults
the errors in one are detected by the
agreement of others in different read.
ing. Since our common English yer
sion was made, many ancient manu-.
scripts have been discovered, not at the
time known to exist, and some Of them
arc acknowledged to be Of the most val
uaole and reliable character. By these.
scholars have been able to correct, in a
number of cases, the text, both Of the
Hebrew and Greek, used by the trans
lators of the common version. The cor
rection Of the text, Of course, requires
corresponding changes in the transla
tion.-New York Chronicle.

Mr.. Thurston the Lost BalIoonist.

Last week we stated that the remains
of Mr.. Thurston had been found and
identified. Below we give the follow
ing additional facts, taken from the
Adrian (Mich.) Erpositcr.
"The facts Of the disc overy, as near as We
can ascertain, are these: Last Sunday, as the
SON of Michael Hoag was searching for some
sheep in the woods, ON the farm of Mr.. S. Mi
nor, about four miles southeast Of the village
Of Sylvania, he discovered the remains Of the
body Of . man. He Immediately ran for his
father, who in company with Mr.. Minor, re-
paired to the spot, and there found abundant
evidence that the remains were those of Mr.
Thurston, who must have fallen from his posi-
ton on the valve of the balloon, whore he was
seated when he was carried off SO singularly
last summer. These gentlemen Immediately
proceeded to collect what could be found, but
only succeeded in finding the skull, and one
foet in a boot, and few other small bones
The rest of the body has been carried of by
wild beasts. They found however, coat, pants,
vest ana Snlrly anu With tHcu Vur. AuuTStOH
cards upon which he took his minutes on his
balloon trip from Adrian to the place Of land
ing, near Sylvania. The pencil marks on the
cards were so er-soakcd the writing could
not be made out.
They found, however, in a memoranda book
a letter directed to Mr.. Thurston, from . firm
Id Philadelphia, which was in reply to enqui-
ries about ball, ION silk.
They also found MIR Thurston's watch, and
knife, both Of which are fully identified by
many Of our citizens rs his property. The
watch is uahurt but stopped at twenty min
utes to IL o'clock, which shows the time he
fell.
All that remains of the unfortunate Thurs.
ton, about whose fate there has been so much
solicitude, is now enclosed in small box, at
this Office, where we have 50 often greeted his
honest face, and answered his pleasant salu-
tation in days past.

4 Young Woman is Delivered Of !
Child on Board the Cars and Filings
II ont Of the Window.

A young woman, elegantly dressed,
and Of preposscssing appearance got
aboard the Cleveland and Erie cars At
the depot, Tuesday noon, just before
they started. having no baggage with
the exception Of satchcl, which she
placed upon the seat by her side. After
the cars started she went into the ladies'
saloon several times, and was in there
when Mr.. Murray, conductor on board
the train, came around to collect the
tickets. She appeared to be suffering
with pain, and told him he would find
her tickets in her satchel, which lay
in the seat she had occupied. lie went
to the seat and found them as she repre-
sente Mr.. Murray was succeeded by
conductor Haight, who proceeded to
Dunkirk with the train, the woman re.
naming in the saloon Of the car the
most Of the way. At Dunkirk Mr..
Haight received telegram from Erie,
stating that new born babe had been
found by the sido Of the track about
two miles East of Erie, and describing
the woman conductor Murray found in
the saloon, whom, it was conjectured,
was the unnatural mother, and who to
hide her shame, had attempted the des
truction of her offspring by hurling it
from the cars. He returned reply
that the woman departed on the New
York ard Erie road.
The child was found by q woman who
was passing, and although the train was
going at the rate Of twenty five miles an
hour, the child ,cas alive when found
It was cared for in a proper manner,
and was alive when conductor Murray
left Erie. No clue was obtained ia re-
gard to the name Of the mother, and it
is not known where shc came from,

Infallible Rules for Measuring Cern
IN the Crib.

IF measured il feet:
1. Shucked oyn.-Measure the length,
width and depth Of the crib in feet;
multiply these three dimensions togeth-
er and their product by . !; then cut OF
two figures to the right; those on the
left will be 50 many barrels, sud chose
cut Of 80 many hundredths Of barrel.
Multiply this last number By 5 before
the figures are cut off; then cat OF ths
two right hand figures and those upon
the left will show the number Of bush
els, those upon the right, the hundfedths
Of bushel.
2. Unshucked Corn.-Multiply the ,
dimensions in feet, as in rule 6rst, and
their product by 53 cut of two figures
to the right, and the result will be bar
rels and hundredths, as in rule 6rst.
Multiply this last number oy 5 before
the figures are cut off; then cut of the
two right hand figures and those upon
the left will show the number OF bush
els, those upon the right, the hundredths
Of bushel.
3. Shucked Csrn.-Take the dimen-
sions in inches and multiply them to-
gether; take one half Of the product
and divide it by 2,l5O, and you have the
bushels Of shelled corn which divided
by 5 reduces to barrels.
These rules have often been put to
the most critical test by the most thor
ough as we'll as the most practical math..
maticians Of the vest, and the people
using them may rely upon their being
accurately correct. Preserve : copy for
use.
