HOTELS IN NoRwAY.-We drove to the Hote
de Belle Vue, one of the two little carayanse
rails of which the town boasts, and were fortu
nate In securing the two vacant rooms. The
hotel business in Norway is far behind that of
any other country, except in regard to charges,
wherein it is far in advance. Considering what
one gets for his money, this is the most expen-
sive country in the world for foreigners. Ex-
cept where the rates are fixed by law, as in
posting, the natives pay much less and here is
an instance of double dealing which does not
harmonic with the renowned honesty of the
Norwegians, At the Belle Vue we were fur
nished with three very meagre meals day, at
the rate of two dollars and half. The attend
ance was performed by two boys of fourteen or
fifteen, whose services, as may besupposed, were
quite inadequate to the wants of nearly twenty
thousand persons. The whole business of the
establishment devolved on these two fellows, the
landlady, though good humored and corpulent,
as was meet, knowing nothing about the busi-
ness, and, on the whole, it was wonder that
matters were not worsa.-Bayard Taylor.

SCIENCE VS.. WooDcHUcKs.-W oodchucks are
a pest to the farmer, and as one retires to his
hole, his case is good one-his safety is secur-
ed, unless one goes into the laborious effort of
digging him out. The new mode of hunting
this animal is to take turtle about the size of
your hand, bore a hole in the edge of his she'll,
and tie string in the same; then put on his
back near the tail, small amount of sulphur,
with a little turpentine; ignite the same and
head the animal down the hole. Impelled by
the excitement in his rear, he diligently seeks
the bottom. The woodchuck Mortified by the
smell of sulphur and the flaming appearance of
his visitor, evacuates the premises, and is met
at the entrance of the hole by the club of the
hunter. The turtle is then pulled out for an
other hunt. We are told the experiment never
fails Homestead.

A NAVAL INCIDENTAL short time sine, in
Montevdeo, whilest French frigate was re-
turning an American salute, one of the gunners
had his arm blown off, As soon as the fact was
known in the American squadron, subscription
for him was started, which produced among ten
ships the very handsome sum of $l40O! Upon
its remission to him, the French Admiral ad-
dressed to the Americans one of those charming
little notes 50 graceful in the French language,
in which he said that although degrees of lati-
tude and longitude might bind the geographical
limits of our country and determine the ALE
glance professed to its flag, there were no such
confines to the generosity of the American sailor.

ANGELS DAGUEREoTYPED.-The Spiritual Tel
egraph contains the statement of correspond
ent to the effect that on a recent occasion an
artist was employed to take daguereotype of
corpse, which, for the purpose was seated in
chair. The plate, on examination, was found
to contain not only the picture of the deceased,
but, to the astonishment of all, two other fig
ures, male and female, standing beside the
corpse. The writer adds:
"The dress of the female figure was wholly
unlike that of the artist, (the artist was fe-
male) and no other females were IN the room.
All the figures, corpse and all, were very dim.
Now, the spiritual phase is, that two spirits
standing beside the corpse were reflected, &C."

The Persia is in, with three days lat
err news. Napoleon and Victor Eman-
uel, established in Milan, have followed
up their triumph by another victory.
A portion of the Austrians, after retir-
inc from Milan, entrenched themselves
at Mangnan, (St. Melignano,) a market
town eleven miles southeast of Milan.
Gen. paraguay D'Hilliers was sent
with his corps 20 dislodge them. After
sanguinary conflict, which lasted nine
hours, he carried the town, with the loss
of 500 killed and wCunded-the Aus
TRANS losing 800, besides 1900, pris-
oners.
1t is evident from this that the pre-
vious report that D'Hilliers had been
deprived of his command, was untrue.
1t also turns out that Marshal Canrobert
''mortally wounded" is alive
and well.
The Austrians have now practically

have failed back upon the fortified

perhaps differ tent scene will be pre-

Sad Acknowledgement Persons Drowned
I'VE learn from the Branch County
Republican that eleven persons were
drowned by the sinking of pleasure
boat, at place called Clear Lake, in
Indiana, on the fourth inst. It. ap.
pears that large number of people
had assembled at Clear Lake, a mile
and half south of the State line be-
tween this State and Indiana, for the
purpose of celebrating the 4th. After
the ordinary exercises of the celebra
ton, small boat was obtained for the
purpose of taking a ride on the lake
This boat was not an ordinary sal
boat, but one that was rugged with
wheels which were worked by hand.
1t was capable of carrying some ten
or twelve persons with safety, but un.
fortunately when she left the shore
had on board twenty-six persons.
Thus overloaded, the boat had made a
trip of about three-fourths of a mile
and returned to within one hundred
rods of the landing when she went
down. The cause of the disaster was
that the boat was loaded so deep that
the water kept coming in and at last
she began to sink. Those who were
on board Immediately sprang to their
feet and the boat oapsized.
The following are the names of the
lost :-Danforth Berry and wife; JEFF
ferson Berry, brother; Mrs. William
Turner and an adopted daughter, about
five years of age; Miss Lonisia Turner,
aged about twenty, daughter of Mr..
Nelson Turner; son of Nelson Turn
er, aged about nine years; Mr.. Lyman
Steel and his sister-in-law Mrs. Law
son, of Woodbridge; David Sines, OF
Clear Lake, the owner of the boat i;
John Lawrence, of Camden-eleven in
all. Five persons were brought ashore
insensible, four of whom recovered,
through artificial means, and are doing
we'll. Those who were lost were most
ly from Eastwood Corners, in the town
of Reading, Hillsdale County. They
were highly respected citizens and
their loss is deeply mourned.

in so far as they relate to certain differ
ences which are raised by reason of
the fierce competition of the Lake Erie
steamboat lines, which interferes with
the arrangements of the Lake shore
roads. Further than this we believe
there is no difficulty at present. The
four Presidents meet some day early in
July.

The Kansas Election.-COmpleteR epub-
lican Triumph.


The Leavenworth Times has returns
from all but two counties in Kansas, by
which it appears that the Republicans
have majority of nine in the Consti-
tutional Convention, with three men,
bers yet doubtful. Ten of the twenty
democrats returned as elected, are Of
Leavenworth county, and the Leaven-
worth jail is already filled to overflow
ing with "good, tried, staunch and
valiant democrats" who have been ar
rested and indicted for fraudulent vo-
ting. More than fifty of the b'ys are
in the jug for obeying the party in
functions, viz:-"voting early and of
ten, and keeping on voting until the
polls were closed" The legal investi-
cation now going on. is disclosing an
old fashioned Kickapoo or Oxford
swindle. These fifty elegant demo-
Gratis are but a preface of what is to
come! The Republicans are confident
that the apparent democratic majority
in that county Will be more than sponged
out ere the frauds committed in
Leavenworth are probed to the bottom.

How Americans are outraged

How Americans are outraged
and avenged in Mexico is told by the
Mobile Register. A Mexican coasting
schooner, chartered by an American
put into Mazatlan for repairs. The
governor, without any reason, whatev-
er, seized her, confscated and sold her
cargo and pocketed the proceeds. The
next day the United States sloop-of-war
St. Mary's dropped in at Mazatlan, and
the outraged American was delighted
to see the flag of his country so OPP
portunely at hand to redress his wrong.
He laid his case before her commander
who promptly demanded of the govern
ment the restoration of the goods or
their equivalent in money, coupled with
the intimation that he would open his
guns on the town if the demand was
refused. The governors reply was
cooIl"This is not the first time," said
he, ssthat l have heard of the menaces
of gasconading commanders of Yankee
ships-of-war 1 refuse to give up the
goods and the first shot you fire on the
town will be the death knell OF every
American in it." The Yankee captain
made ready to execute his threat, when
down came to the shore the American
residents, a dozen in number, and pro-
tested against having all their lives put
into jeopardy for the sake of one Amer
lean. The appeal had its efect-the
governor carried his point, the St. Mary's
hauled of, and the victim of robbery
remained without redress.

We are rejoiced to be able to an
nounce the election of Capt. j. S. Ri
enearson, in Clackamas on Monday
last, by about forty majority, to fill the
vacancy occassioned by the resignation
of B. Jennings, who was appointed
Register of the Land Office at Oregon
City. This result reconciles us to that
appointment which the people general
ly regard, and even the Bush denounc-
es, as one eminently "not fit to be
made" AS it has secured us a good
Republican in the Legislature, we will
no longer object to it, though we fear
this will always be the only cause of
satisfaction.
We clip the above gratifying indica-
ton from the Oregomian published at
Portland, in the new State of Oregon. A
State Republican party has recently
been framed in that State, a Republican
candidate for Congress nominated, and
a Republican Penitentiary Commission
er. And this is the first fruits of the
new party. The Oregomia's, which is
an able and spirited paper, and fully
identified with the Republican party,
speaks hopefully of its success. The
slave democracy are distracted and d.
vided, while the Republicans are thor
oughly united. There is some hopes
of defeating "Delusion +" Smith as
United States Senator, and elect Judge
Williams, though there may be no
choice during the present session of the

KossUTH's Pos1T1oN.-Kossuth, in
a note to the Times, correcting misrep-
reservations, says:
"The purport of my argument is
this: If England abstains from taking
a part in this war, the war will remain
restricted to the Austrian dominions
and to the Italian peninsula; if, on the
contrary, England interferes, the war
will become a general one, because
Germany will not plunge into the war
if told that she will not be supported
by England; and in this case Russia,
too, will remain neutral; but if Eng
land should either directly support
Austria or assist Germany in support
ing her, then Russia, too, will step in,
but on the opposite sids-she will sup
port France So that, if the present
war assumes general European proper
tons, it will be entirely the work of
England's Intervention"

Three trials was had between Nos.
IL, and 2, for the second prize for I'd
class engines, which resulted each time
in tie, and the prize, silver trumpet
and $40, was finally divided between
them by lot.
The first prize for first class engines
was taken by Neptune, No. 6, of De-
troit. The second by Continental s,
of Detroit
The first prize for second class en-
gines, was taken by Neptune, No. 1, of
Ypsilanti. This engine was made by
Mr.. Wright, of Rochester. 1t was the
smallest machine on the ground, but
for general work, we consider it one of
the best.
Sortly after the trial on quantity had
commenced, the 10 o'clock train from
Adrian arrived with Union No. 8, of
South Bend, Ind. They numbered ITO
men, and brought first class Button
engine with them, calculating to carry
off the first prize of the handicap on
distance in the afternoon.
At o'clock the trial on distance for
three prizes, of $3.50, 500, and $50,
commenced. This trial was free to all
engines, but only one outside the State
was entered. The first engine brought
on the platform was Union No. 8, of
South Bend, Ind. She threw 2O4 feet
2 inches.
The next was Neptune No. 1, of
Ypsilanti, second class Wright ma
chine. She threw 21I feet IL inches,
taking the first prize.
The next was Protection 1, of Jack
son; 1913 feet 8 inches. She was fol-
lowed by Neptune 6, of Detroit, first
Button; l76 feet 4 inches. The next
was Alert 1, of Albion, a first class
Tarbois; III feet 10 inches. She was
followed by Alert /, of Adrian, first
class Button ls9 feet inches. The
next was Liberty 8, of Jackson, a first
class LETTERS 200 feet 6 inches, taking
the second prize. Neptune No. 2, of
Jackson, a first class Wright machine,
was the last engine entered. She threw
204 feet "a inches, when she burst her
air chamber. Had it not been for this
accident, she would undoubtedly have
taken the first prize, as the stream was
gaining at each tap of the brakes when
the air chamber burst.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the dis
tribution of prizes took place at the
American Hotel. They were presented
in a very happy manner by Jas. G.
Wood, Esq, of Jackson. The fremen
during both days, was quite orderly,
and everything passed off happily.
Thus closed the largest, and so far as
we are able to judge, the most success
full tournament ever held in this State.
The tournament next year will be
held at Battle Creek, when we hope
to be able to record the entrance of
company from this village as COM
petitor for the prizes that will there be
offered. What say our citizens 5?
