THE COMING WAR IN EUEoPE.-The
london Times thus explains the cause, OF
the prospective war between Austria aud
Prussia
"a great German war is really believ-
ed 10 he imminent. While our attention
has been engaged by domestic tonics and
ahtiripatioas OF trouble in America, Aus
tria and Prussia have been exchanging re-
ordinations and menaces till all but the
last words have been reached. What rem
ders the case more alarming is that the
question is not speculative. The dispute
can no longer be conducted by those tor
iuous dialcctics in which Germans delight.
The question has emerged from tie region
Of IDEAS, and stands out sharply express.
ed 10 facts and purposes. After a year Of
shameless manocuvres, Prussia has at
length thrown aside all hypocrisy and re,
serve, and declared her intention Of an
n~exing to her own dominions the two du-
chies which were wrested from Denmark
on the pretexts Of injured nationality or
doubtful succession. Austria refuses her
consent TO this appropriation, and, as she
is in actual possession Of half the territory,
She can drive Prussia TO the alternative Of
humiliaiing retreat or open war. On this
policy she now seems to be bent, and, as
Prussia is more likely, Of the two, to fight
than retire, we may learn any morning
hat the peace Of Europe has been bvoken,
ard that the two great powers Of Germa-
ny are at war"

THE PORTLAND FIRE.

THE great disaster at Portland, Maine,
July 4th, adds another illustration OF the ad-
yantages of GENUINE UNDERWRITING
and STRONG INDEMNITY, in trying
emergencies.
Portland was one Of the most substantial
built cities in the United States, having a
large preponderance Of stone, brick and fire
proof buildings. Yet il was nearly swept
from existanee in few hours, by soon
temptable Fire cracker"
The losses by the Companies which we
represent. have been greatly exaggerated: but
large IS they actually were, the Companies
alter paying them in full. show fooiings that
will compare favorably with the best Com
panies in existanee.
Reports have been freely circulated that
the Capitol Of the Hartford Insurance Co., has
been impaired; they are taisr. and the con-
struction Of the reports of the "New York In
suranee Department" to support such state
ments are frauds. The figuring used by the
"Hon. Wm. Barnes" in that report applied
to the "-Etna Co." would show like result.
The Hartford Times reports sales Of 4Etna
shares at 5000, decline of $50. Hartford
shares sl75, decline Of $40, since the Port
land Fire. We mention the "-Etna" because
that company claim that they are ''par ex-
Tue DCch VI
We claim that there are others "a good, and
the HARTFORD and METROPOLITAN
are among them.
The Hartford Company after paying $780,
900 losses at Portland has Il capitol and sur
plus of 81 100000.
The Metropolitan 1ns. CO., after paying
over 5000 900 losses at Portland, has capitol
and surplus of over 81 100000 left, with
which they will further illustrate the adyan-
tages Of GENUINE INSURANCE and
Strong indemnity.
Consider the Insignificant origin of fires,
be wise to-day and call upon theunder signed
