advice was never to take a blow from any man,

The schoolmarm was ever afterwards afflicted
with chronic dyspepsia, the effect of this cutting

After this occurrence the board of education at
Mad Mule Flat were unable to procure any more
schoolmarms.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
THE WAR LIKELY TO END.

The steamship Africa reached New York
yesterday with advices from Europe to the 4th
instant Earl Derby had submitted to the
Queen the following names to compose the new
Ministry, which were approved: Earl DerDy,
Premier; Mr.. D Israeli, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer; Lord Stanley, Foreign Secretary;
General Peel, War Secretary; Sir }. Packing
ton, First Lord of the Admiralty; Hon. Mr.

President of the Council.
The Prussians have stormed and captured
the walled town of Gitschin, in Bohemia, caus-
inc loss to the Austrans Of four thousand
men in killed and wounded. The Prusslan loss
was also heavy The total Austrian loss: up to
the latest advices from Germany, IS estimated
at from thirty to forty thousand men. BE- the
successful sorming of Gitschin the two Prusslan
armies of the Prince Frederick Charles and the
Grown Prince were enabled to form junction.
A number of Austrian and Hanoyercrlan regl-
ments arc said to have been wholly annihilated
during the assault.
The Austrian kilograms report that IN the
engagement at Turnau the Prussans were de-
feated. Several other engagements OF more OF
less importance are said to have resulted favor
ably to the Austrians. On the other hand the
Grown Prince of Prussia says that the result OF
the three days fighting, in which the fifth Prus-
sian corps had been engaged cannot be too
highly estimated He claims that in the bat
tie of the 9th an intercepted letter from Cen
eral Ramenig to General Benedek proved that
the sixth Austrian corps was so thoroughly ex-
austed by the hard fighting that Cen Ramenig
solicited reinforcement Of two brigades that
his troops might bivouac under their protection.
On the 2Sth and goth the fighting was resumed,
and the Austrians are reported to have been
again beaten, with the loss ofinnumerable prls-
oners, twenty guns five colors and two stand
ards
