A FLOATING anchor has been inyente
by Capt. "A. F. Lewis, now residing at
Turtle, Wisconsin. It is composed oil
planks readily and firmly bolted together,
in the from Of square sail, say eight by
ten feet, and let down over the bow of a
drifting vessel to depth sufficient to
shield itfrom the action of surface currents;
when it (asis certified by sea captains who
have seen it tried will bring the vessels
head to the wind in any sea, and reduce
the drift from four miles per hour to one.
We should think this a good idea, but the
opinion of nautical men will doubtless be
taken with regard to it.-1ribune.
The Albany Journal says: We saw
this Anchor at Chicago. 1t has been test
ed, they said, a few days before in asevere
blow, and worked admirably.

INTOLERANCE ON THE DEcLINE.-Withln
a few days we have noticed the stopping
of two Roman Catholic organs-one IN
Buffalo, the Sentinel, the organ OF the
Bishop of that Diocese; the other the
Shepherd of the Valley, published at 81.
Louis. We know but little ofthe Sentinel
but suppose its decline~is owing to the
lberalizing ideas that have crept into the
church in Buffalo and other localities. The
attemp. has been made in New York and
other states, to transfer all church proper
ty to the Bishops, subjecting the congre-
cations to the will Of one man, who in turn
owes allegiance to foreign power. This
has been resisted with much determina-
ton by large bodies of the Catholic peo-
pie, and in no place with more zeal than
in Ruffalo

DECLINE IN BEEF.--By our exchanges
we learn that there is great decline in
beef We extract the following:
"The price Of beef is coming down
with railroal speed. At the Baltimore
Cattle Scales on Monday, there was fur
ther decline of rs cents per cwt., making
III 25 for the last two weeks. At Phil
adelphia and New Yorkt on Mouday, tn,
price of beef cattle also further declined. ,

RIor.-Philadelphia, June 2O.-Yester-
day desperate riot occurred on the Ger
mantown road, between adherents of the

knocked out; William Wilkinson was badly
beaten, and another stabbed in three places

GLAD TO HEAR IT.-Tne Washington
Star says that the impression that some Of
the foreign appointees of the present Ad-
minstration, who have declined to SO
abroad after drawing the outfit, have fail

of his legal right to draw money from TIL
Treasury under such circumstances, has

A CURE.-We published some time since
statement that cramberries were an ex-
cellent remedy for Erysipelas. The New
Haven Palladium says:-'We are able to
record another case of the complete cure of
Erysipelas by the simple application of the
raw cramberries pounded fine. The patient
was young lady, on one side of whose
face had become so much swollen and IN
famed that the eye had become closed,
and the pain excessive. A poultlce OF
cramberries was applied, and after several
changes, the pain ceased, the inflammation
subsidized, and in course of couple ofdays
every vestige of the disease had disappear
ed. The case occurred in the family OF.
one of the editors of the Palladium, and
we can therefore vouch for the truth.

THE TREATY.-The latest accounts say
that Santa Anna has returned the Gads-
den Treaty, with his ultimatum, to Wash
ington. He requires the payment of sew
en- millions cash down, and the other three
millions at the end of six months; and
the President having acceded to this re-
QUESTION, has sent up message to the
House of Representatives, requiring an
appropriation for the full amount of the
ten millions.

BEEs.-Yesterday lot of bees got at
some horses tied in the street, and the
singers answered every purpose of a
spur, and the horses pranced nicely until
removed from their bondage.

Go1NG WEsr.-Y esterday, a large
train of emigrant wagons. filled with men
women, and children, on their way toward
the setting sun, passed through this city.
Upon inquiry, we learned they were from
the western part of the State of Michigan,
and had taken up their line of march for
Nebraska. They were hardy looking
jolly crew, and understand more about
politics than many would suppose. Upon
a banner in the front wagon we read the
following truthful lines:
Freedom battle once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son.
Though baff1ed oft, is ever Won

~ On Saturday morning, at Rich

against one of the walls of the building,
killing him instantly, and knocking down
large portion Of the wall and otherwise
injuring the house.

THE FoURrH.-This day will pass off
quietly here, as nothing aside from Sab
bath school celebration is in contempla-
ton. This day of days merits mere
patriotic and lively remembrance. Who
can think Of the blessings bestowed upon
our nation on that memorable day with
out some happy feelings and pleasant re-
Elections? Then why DOVE so far forget
our blessings, independence and prosper
ity as to neglect devoting few hours in
celebrating day SO full of glory to US?

Celebration at Little sandusky.

We have been requested TO say, that
the FOURTH day of July will be cele-
brated at Little Sandusky, in becoming
manner. The Declaration of Indepen-
dence will be read, speeches made, and
a good time in general may be expected
We are glad to know that the citizens oil
that town have the spirit and energy to
celebrate day SO full of happy events to
the American people, and so worthy their
commemoration, Gatherings of this kind
have "A beneficial influence; they cause men
to cast aside, for the time, all personal
chickering's, all party strife and all diyis-
ions of every description, and to meet
with hearts beating in unison with each
other, and to act as each depended on the
other. Arrangements will be made to
give general satisfaction To al who may
be present on the occasion, and the bill
very moderate.

BosToN.--Some paper in speaking of
the fugitive slave case in Boston, says the
excitement still RACES. This is not at all
astonishing, as that place can boast of as
many mad men and fanatics as any other
city in the Union. Let them keep up the
excitement, who will be most injured by
it?

The COMMISSIONERS body has
referred the Harper matter over to court
for hearing. Our readers will remem-
Der, that Mr.. Harper had stolea from his
drawer while acting Treasurer, 5000 of
county funds. Two of the Commission
ers, although refusing to buy safe for
the purpose of securing the money, are
of opinion that the then acting Treasurer
shall be responsible to the county for the
amount. What the decision of the court
may be in the matter is yet to be learned.

The SECOND ADvENT.-We had hoped
that the Millerites, upon the single failure
of the prediction that this wonderful
world of ours would be destroyed in
1842 might henceforth, be content to
await this issue quietly and in patient
silence. And for several years they
did so. But the fever is beginning to
rage again; and some Of these people
are fully determined that the globle shall
be burnedup during the year 1854, wheth-
er or no.
The more sanguine indeed have faith
in the occurrence of that magnificent in
cendiar;sm during the present month
We shall see. In she meantime wradvise

Affairs at st. st.Petersburg.

The following is and extractfrcm an in
teresting letter written at st. Petersburg,
May 9th, 1854, by a gentleman highly in
formed, and of the highest character:
GAS you may suppose, we are surroun-
ded with all the outward SYMPTOMS and
preparations for great war. There are
said to be at this time in and Immediately
around the city, 10000 troops, which is
about double the usual number kept here
in time of peace. The streets are con-
stantly full of soldiers, and the city is un-
der martial law. No one can pass the gates
and barriers after 9 o'clock, and in the
lower parts Of the town, near the batteries
it is supposed that the inhabitants will not
be allowed to be out of their houses after
that hour. l have read with great atten-
ton the correspondence which has result
ted in bringing on this war, and my SYM
pathies are, confess, on the side of the
English and French, not that I am an enc
my to Russia, or do not find many of her
people amiable and good, but should re-
gard it as the greatest misfortune which
could happen to mankind, that this deadly
system of government, which has tenden-
cy to blightallthat is nobleand free among
men, should be any further extended. For
this reason / should regret to see Russia
get control of Turkey, and I fully justify
the Western Powers for the steps they are
taking to oppose Russian ambition. It is
terrible to contemplate contest with such
apoweras Russia, and the Western Powers
show great boldness and magnanimity in
meeting the evil at the present time, rather
than by temporizing with it, to leave the
struggle to some future day, when the
chances against them would be much
greater. | have lived long enough in Rus
sia to learn practically the full meaning
| of the word despotism, and every days
acquaintance with it increases my graft
tude that my lot has been castin acountry
where, as yet at least, it is unknown. ]
continue to hope that our public schools
and the good sense of the intelligent clas
ses will preserve us from it.

THE SANE OLD DRUNK!-It is said that
man was arrested in an adjoining county
for getting drunk. He pleaded that he
had not been guilty of a violation Of the
mesO lar, and claimed the right of being

drunk under the old law, and hadn't been
sober since The case will be taken up!

An Admission.

The New York, Evangelist, a Presby-
terlan paper, published in New York, which
was violently opposed to the Nebraska bill,
has about come to the conclusion that that
measure was not SO bad for freedom after
all. 1t says:
Before the closing of another winter,
there will be GORDON santtaire of free set
tiers bounding the southern frontier of
Kansas, which will present an eternal bar
rier to the inroads of slavery. And as,
by the removal of the Clayton amendment
to the Nebraska bill, aliens, declaring their
intention to become naturalized, are entitl-
ed to vote, the question of slavery or no
slavery will be likely to be settled in the
right way and beyond all reverse, long be-
fore the time that these Territories knock
at the door of Congress for admission into
the Union"
Upon this admission the New York
Journal Of Commerce remarks:
1t Is porper to say that the EOangeltSo
bases its prediction chiefly upon the action
of the Emigrant Aid Society-an associa-
ton recently formed in Massachusetts to
encourage the emigration of anti-slavery
people to said Territories. In our view,
the fulfillment of the prediction substanti-
ally, is in no degree dependent upon the
Emigrant Aid Society; but if they think
so, let them go ahead, and JOY go with
them.
After this plain declaration by one oi
the most furious anti-Nebraska papers
in the land, we hope that those real op-
ponents of slavery, who have been led tc
believe that the passage of the Nebraska
bill would Sound the death-knell of free
dom, DC, will breathe more freely, and
sleep more soundly."
