fnl earnest and Observant student will
receive in such school of models,
master-picces, and illustrated prob.
lens.
Besides the unitarian advantages
Of these exhibitions, their effect in a
social point Of view is not to be light
ly estimated. People come together
from all parts of the country, for
common purpose, either to bring
something to be seen, or to see some
thing that is worth seeing. 1t is
good thing to bring the people of vari-
GUS sections and localities together oc-
casionally into one place, as many of
them as possible, SO that they may be-
come acquainted with one another
and thus wipe out those local or sec
tional preiudices, and modify the
spirit of those sectional jealousies and
rivalrics which too often spring up
and create gulf between communi-
ties, and result in the formation of I'M
just and mistaken opinions on the
part of each towards the other. That
which has the effect of bringing the
people Of various parts of the country
together, SO that they may become &C
quainted with each other, should, by
all means, be encouraged by every
patriotic citizen, inasmuch as nothing
so much conduccs to the cementing of
the bond of union among people,
as an extended and general acquaint-
ancc among themselves. In this re-
spect alone Annual Fairs are Of the
utmost value and Importance to the
country.
i ! earnestly hope and trust that tht
people of Floyd County will see to il
that the First Annual Exhibition o.
their Agricultural Society this fall
shall be success. They have only
to will it, and it will be done.
l regret to learn that serious frost
has visited Northern Iowa, but hope
the corn will not be materially injured.
In Wisconsin the corn crop will be al.
most an entire failure, owing to the
severe drought. The earth is dry and
parched, and the wells and beds of
streams are without water. No rain
of consequence has fallen since June.
The same is true Of many portions of
Illinois. This will tend to make but
ter and cheese scarce and dear in the
localities most afflicted with the drouth
But Iowa, not having suffered from
drouth, will have surplus of many
kinds of farm products, and her farm
ers will receive better prices on ac-
count of the scarcity in adjoining
States east of the Mississippi More

Another Row with England.

A speck of trouble with England
looms up, again, in the Oregon horizon,
credlting the news by the Overland
Mail, at st. Louis. The facts of the
case, in brief, are these. The U. S.
Government claims, and sends Gen.
Harvey to take possession of, the
small island of San Juan, lying be-
tween Vancouver's Island and the
main land. TLereupon the Governor
of British Columbia protests against
the proceeding, and, upon the assump-
ti)n that San Juan belongs to the
Crown of England, dispatches an
armed force to drive off the Americans
The Government at Washington, it
seems, has considered the matter as
one of pressing Importance, and have
issued instructions to General Harvey,
sustaining his position.
General Harvey, though gallant
and patriotic soldier, is understood to
be man of rather excitable tempcra-
ment, and if he can get the four L. S.
vessels of war, said to be anchored in
the vicinity, to back him up, we should
not be surprised if the little island Of
San Juan should be, ere long, the thea
tire of stirring events. The English
Governor (Douglas) is himself sort
of mischief.maker, and during his
brief administration in British Colum-
bia, he has frequently gone out of his
way, as it seemed to us, to get into
hot water with the Yankees. IF mis-
chicvously disposed. in this instance,
he is not without the means of indulg-
ing his wishes, three English mcn-oE
Wharf.-The Tribune, Satellite, and Pie,
nipo,-bcing at his command in the
immediate vicinity.
The only practical result of the
present imbroglio will probably be
the Immediate decision in our favor OF
claims which ought never to have been
suffered to lie SO long in allegiance.
Oregon has just been admitted as q
State into the Union: and it is essen,
tial to the strength and security OF
our Western Empire that the plain
meaning of the treaty stipulation,
which gives us the midway of the
main channel between Vancouver's
Island and the Continent for our line
of demarcation from British America
should be carried out peremptorily
and at once. The command of the
great water passage in question be
longs both by reason and right to tho
United States and the British Gov
crnment can have no disposition as i
can have no motive to interfere will
our exercise of that command.

The machinists at Laporte and
Adrian,on the Michigan Southern Rail
road, struck on the LIST inst, and re-
fused to allow anything but mail-car
and engine to run. The passengers
who left Chicago since that time have
been obliged to return. The cause of
the strike is the inability or refusal of
the road to pay the back wages of the
employees. No trains have passed
over the road for several days. A
delegation of strikers went to Adrian
on the Sd, for the purpose of arrang-
ing matters, but up to Saturday eve
ming no compromise had been effected.
During the negotiations no trains are
allowed to run. A meeting of citi-
zens was held at Laporte on Friday
night, at which they expressed SYM
pathy for the employees, Offering to
assist them pecuniarily and other
wise. Mr.. Bliss, the President of the
Road, arrived at Adrian Saturday eve
ming and after an interview with the
leaders of the movement, complied
with their demands, and on the 9Th,
the strikers resumed work.
