Europe is, it seems, on the brink of
war. Preparations for it are being made
by all the great powers, and the mutter-

however, will scarcely be begun this year,
as the season seems almost too late. As
between Napoleon and Bismarck, the prize
now commended for is South Germany, and
the chances for winning it seem at pres
ent to be in favor of Prussia.

A SAD AND SUDDEN DEATH.-The wife
of Daniel s. Kent of East Wallingford
was found dead in the field on Sunday
morning, the 2lst inst. An inquest was
held, when the following facts and cir
cumstances were shown: On Saturday,
the Goth inst, the husband, Mr.. Kent,
was boiling sap in the woods in his
sugar-house, some three-fourths of
mile from home, and came home at sup
per and told his wife he should boil un-
til midnight, and that she had better not
sit up for him, but put out the light and
go to bed. She replied that she thought
of coming up (after doing up her work.
where he was boiling, and inquired
which was the best way to come (as she
had never been there), He replied that
she must not think Of coming, as 1t was
very bad going. No more was said, and
he thought no more of the matter, but
returned about dark to his work. Mr..
Kent finished his boiling, and, much
later than he expected, reached home
about four O'Clock in the morning, when
he found his house locked and fastened
Hp, as usual when leaving it alone but
getting in the back way, and not finding
his wife, supposed she had gone to some
of the neighbors across the way to stay
las she sometimes had done when alone).
He according laid down and slept until
daylight, and arose, built his fire and fed
his cattle at the barn, and then went to
call for her, supposing of course to find
her at some one Of the neighbors but,
alas on calling on several Of the near
est, he found she had not been there. he
was then reminded lof the conversation
Of the previous evening, and search was
Immediately made, when she was found
some forty.fve rods from the house, In
the direction of the sugar-woods, and to
all appearances had been dead several
hours. 1t appears that the poor woman
had started for the sugar-camp to find
her husband, and during the night it
was very dark, cold and rainy; a thun-
der-storm came up during the time, and
probably she got bewildered and lost,
became exhausted in travelling about,
and through fear there perished alone
| (she being Of weak constitution). l
was also stated by several of the nearest
neighbors in different families, that they
heard in the evening several times sounds
or cries similar to person in distress

the probibitory law. They desire tina. 1t
should be enforced, that they may not be

A BoDY FOUND BY MEANS OF A DREA,

A BODY FOUND BY MEANS OF DREAM.
The body of man named Dennis Nc
Carly, who was drowned on the 22d Of
February, was found in the water near
the railroad ferry at Fall River, on Mon
day morning (22d), under the following
singular circumstances, as narrated by
the News:
The body was first seen by Timothy
McNulty, brother-in-law Of the de-
ceased. Mr.. McNulJy informs US that
last night he had remarkable dream
in regard to the matter. He dreamed
that the drowned man came to him and
told him that if he would go down to
the river in the morning and take a
boat, he would find his (Mr. McCarty's)
body floating in the water near the ferry.
So strongly was he impressed with the
dream, that soon after rising he went
down to the liver, and saw an object
floating in the water just south Of the
ferry, and a little out from the shore.
Calling upon George L. Burt, ticket
master at the depot, for assistance, a
boat was procured, and the two rowed
to the spot, and found the body as
stated, about half a mile south of the
place where Mr.. McCarty was drowned
