Sudden Death.

Mr. Edward laval, proprietor of the
Franklin House, in this borough, met
with an accident on Friday morning last,
which resulted in his death the same
evening. He was walking in his yard,
and slipping on piece Of wood, injured
himself so seriously internally that death
ensued in about twelve hours afterwards.
He was a most estimable citizen and his
sudden and unexpected death has cast a
deep gloom over large circle Of relatives
and friends. His remains were followed
to their final resting place, in the Easton
Cemetery, on Tuesday afternoon, by a
large number of citizens. The beautiful
service of the Masonic and Odd Fellows
orders were recited at the grave.-Eas-

The War Cloud.

Our latest advices from Europe are
gloomy indeed. The prospect Of amlca-
bly, terminating the difficulties between
Austria, Prussia and Italy, seems to have
been gradually and surely overshadowed
and darkened by the gathering clouds OF
war. The Emperor of France considers
the assembling of the Peace Congress as
useless, since Austria makes such rcser-
vations as would necessarily embarrass its
proceedings Russia and England coin
eide with Napoleon in his view OF the
case and it now appears that these great
Powers will withdraw all efforts at medi-
alton, aud leave the hostile Cabinets to
decide for themselves whether they shall
have peace or war.
Austria has made huge preparations
for conflict. She has eight hundred
thousand men in the ranks of her army,
well appointed, supplied with the most
improved arms, and drilled to move like
machines. Victor Emanuel has called to
the field half million Italians, ali anx
ious to encounter the Austrians Gar baldl
is one of his chosen leaders, and the name OF
this ilustrious champion of freedom is IN
itself host and battle.cry for the ltali-
ans. Prussia has ready for action an army
not inferior to that of Austria, with parks
of artillery numbering nearly eleven hun
dred pieces. War seems inevitable, and
should hostiities occur, human prescience
is at fault where, when and how it shall
end. 1t will be conflict of extraordi-
nary magnitude. Complications will arise
which most likely will involve the whole
continent. France can hardly steer clear,
and England will find it hard to keep out
of the maelstrom. Hungary and Poland
may take advantage of the struggle, and
rise in revolution against their masters.
Taken altogether, the intelligence from
the Old World is calculated to awaken
the deepest interest and the most painful
apprehcnsions. War is always to be de-
plored. 1t leaves in its wake misery, des-
olation, rapine, carnage. The innocent
suffer alike with the guilty. Those who
are its instigators and upholders, seldom
bear equally with those who are its op-
posers, the evils which follow in its train
Hence humanity shudders when the gates
of Janus are thrown wide open and the
chariot of Mars issues forth on its mission
Of blood and devastation. Europe will
suffer to a degree hitherto unknown in
her annals, should this impending wal
culminate in hostilities The world sees
no vital principle involved and consequn-
tly it deplores, for the sake of the human
family, carnage which promises such
dire mischief to the race.

A Splendid Oil Strike.

We learn from gentleman just return
ed from a visit to the oil regions OF West
Virginia, that the Writ Oil Company,
who own large territory at Burning
Springs, struck in the third sand rock, at
their No Well, on the lst instant, one
of the largest wells ever obtained in the
United States. When struck, it threw
solid stream of oil of five inches diameter,
sixty feet high, until tubed and turned
successfully into tank, which was hiled
bv measurement, at the rate of seventy
barrels of pure oil an hour. A remarka-
ble feature of this well is that, after How-
ing forty eight hours, not drop OF water
was drawn from the tank. When our IN
formant saw the well, four days after 1t
struck, he was assured by good judges
and his own observation confirmed It,
that it was flowing fifteen hundred barrels
day of oil, and no water, greater how
of pure oil than is ever known to have
been obtained by any we'll heretofore
struck in any region. The oils of the
gravity, and thought very pure.
The practical and efficient Superlntend-
ent of the "Writ" is Mr.. John Ottersen,
of Allcgheney City, gentleman well
known here as able, reliable and trust
worthy. We congratulate the Company
on having " the right man in the right
place" and the stockholders, some of our
own citizens, on the splendid well then
perseverance has procured them, and we
hope many more awaits their enterprise
and skill in the development Of their large
and valuable territory.-Ptts6nrg Ga

We paid flying visit to the Delaware
Water Gap, on Tuesday last, on business,
stopped at the Kittatiny House, kept by
L. w. Brodhead, Esq, who we found to
be a perfect gentleman, head over heals
with arrangements for the rush Of board
ers which will soon be there, to enjoy the
good cheer at his house, and the beauti-
full and indescribable scenery and beauty
of the Gap. We have often wondered
what there was at that place to attract Wis
itors; but a sight of the scenery and a
glance at Brodhead's table, removed all
scepticism from our mind.-BetOidere

at Washington as a means of restraining
the freedom of speech. On Monday Ct
last week, Mr.. Griunell, member of the
House from Iowa, gave offence to Rous-

in debate. A few days subsequently
General Rousseau, who is a tall athletic
man, in company with several of his
friends, overlook Grinuell near the en-
trance to the Capitol, and dealt him sew
eral blows over the head and face with a
rattan cane, which be carried with him,
only ceasny when the weapon was shlvcr-
ed to pieces. The assault was perfect
outrage, as the alleged offensive remarks
of Mr.. Grinnell were made in reply tC
some bitter personalities of General Rous
seau himself Ifseems likely that the
House will take measures to bring thi;
modern Preston Brooks to account for his
brutal behavior.
