War in Europe.

The current Of events upon the
other side ofthc Atlantic, as gathered
from European dispatches, would
seem to indicate an early war between
Prussia aud Austria. Tho Prussian
Minister, whose influence with the
throne is said to be very great, pro
poses TO extend and increase the con.
sequence Of Prussia, by purchase
from Austria, or otherwise, Denmark ;,
and also the consolidation of other
German Provinces. f-.
The financial condition of Austria
is bad, and rccupcration Of the Treas
ury in almost any way would seem
necessary. But jealousy for another
power vithholds her consent, and she
depends upon the unpopularity Of the
Government of Prussia, with the
people, to retard the proposed con
solidation.
So far have matters progressed in
diplomatic measures on the part of
these two bcligeront but hcsitating
powers, that the probability of war is
very grent, and has oven affected tho
stock markets of Europe, Prussia
and Austria are nrming, and also the
lesser German States. ..
Neither Of the arming parties have
committed any overt no, by which the
other could plead aggression, aud
avail herself of the sympathy which
the world has for the aggricvcd pow.
or.
II is impossible at this tune to give
the true status of politics in the old
world. .. ... .I. ...
In the event of war between these
two powers, tho strife will necessarily
cxtond to othor nationalities, mud
complications will increase. '.''' '''
Tho Unitod States now recovering
from the effects Of her own great
internal strife may look with compla-
cency aud unconceru upon the pro-
posed turmoil in Europe.

Tho editor of this paper, through

prietorship and editorial management
of the same. He says: H.

injustice we were not allowed to do it,"

A Pointed Verdict.

RoBERT ANDREWS, an engineer in
the employ of the pittsburg, Port
Wayne Il Chicago Railroad Company,
was thrown from his engine upon the
track of the road, at street crossing .
in Allegheny city, and killed. An
inquest was held, aud it was shown
that he was running the train round a
eurye at moderate to speed, whsn a COW
suddenly ran upon the track, in front
of the approaching train, and col.
lision occurred which resulted in the
death Of the engineer. No watch.
man was in attendance at the crossing
at the time. The jury found YER.
dict rather remarkable for its novelty,
for in such cases, usually, they sue
coed in so dividing the responsibility,
or befogging it, as to be able to re.
turn verdictol f" uobody to blame" 4"
There is, however, in this case no lack
of precision The jury says;
I" We, find that RoBERT ANDREWS,
tho deceased, came to his death on
Sunday, April IS, 1866, from being
run over by train of cars on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne 4 Chicago
Railroad, which was thrown from the
track at the Anderson street crossing.
We further place the entire responsi.
bility of the accident upon that Com.
