On that day Prus sia made a declaration of war against Austria, and Itally followed her exam ple. And it w'as on the same day that the British Ministry sustained a humil. iating defeat on the Reform bill. —As an instance of the value of small things, it is ascertained that eye lits, costing but seventeen or eighteen cents per thousand, are consumed to the value of four million dollars per year ; so that over two hundred and fifty thou sand millions of these little conveniences are annually used in hoop skirts, shoes, etc. —The North Carolina Supreme Court has decided that the following note is only worth the value of the bank notes in gold at its date : “$71.00.
