AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY AT CHICAGO
The Chicago Democrat chronicles an impor-
tant discovery which has recently been made
in that vicinity. 1t says a large quantity of
'pralrle stone" near the western suburbs of
that city has been found to yield immense
quantities of gas and saltpetre. Here is an ac-
count Of the discovery which was brought
about while searching for indications of oil :
"a small bit of this stone piece perhaps
four inches square, was taken by VIM. Cum
berland, well known chemist of this city, a
day or two since, for the purpose of trying to
extract oil from it, The experiment. so far as
the end in view was concerned, was failure,
but in the progress of it other discoveries were
made, of startling importance and great inter
est The stone has been broken up and placed
in retort, which was then subjected to the
action of the heat. A vapor was seen to issue
from the neck of the retort, and OH a match
being applied it ignited and burned brilliantly
for half an hour. 1t gave light fully equal
to the same volume of coal gas, and emitted
no odor of any kind The burned stone was
then analysed, and found to contain fifty per
cent Of saltpetre, which being removed, the
residue was excellent lime!
Here indeed was a discovery! A stone was
found existing in inexhaustibe quantities, and
obtalnabe at very little cost, which made gas as
well andas freely as the best coal which yield
ed 80 per cent. OF pure saltpetre; and which
then was as good lime as could be had any
where.
Additional experiments having been per-
formed, in the presence OF the superintendent
OF the gas works, and others, resulting in a
confirmation of the discovery, arrangements
have been made 10 experiment on the manu-
| iacture OF gas from prairie stone A retort
and gasometer will be prepared at the gas
works, and large quantity Of stone submitted
to test which will leave no doubt of the prac.
teal benefits growing out of this unexpected
discovery.
The Chicago Stone Coal-NIining Company
have, as it were, stumbled into an almost in
calculable fortune. They own twenty acres
OF land filled with this trebly valuable stone,
and suddenly find it advancing in value from
six Or eight dollars cord to forty or fifty dol.

The SABBATH SCHOOL PROCESSION ON
THE FoURTH.-The procession of the Sunday
schools was such pleasing feature III the ex-
ercises on Wednesday, that We were very sorry
for being obliged to contract our description
of the several schools that took an interest in
the occasion. The Old South Sunday school,
numbering about 800, made a very fine ap-
pearanee in the procession. Carriages were
provided for the whole school, with room
for some others. There were two large and
long carriages, beautifully decorated, and there
were7also three very large omnibuses suitable
arrayed for the occasion. This school had
profusion of banners, notices and flowers
and the whole arrangement showed that skill
and good taste had been active in preparing it.
like spirit animated the officers and pu-
pills of the ST. Johns Sunday school, which
numbered four hundred and seventy three. No
one no witnessed the procession will forget
the long array of children belonging to this
school, all in holiday dress, and neatly decked
with evergreen. The beautiful banner which
they carried was inscribed with devices EN-.
blematc of the three Christian virtues-faith,
hope and charity. On one side the name OF
the school; on the other the beautiful words
from st. Matthew" Suffer little children and
forbid them not 70 come to me : for the king
dom of Heaven is for such"
The interest manifested by other schools
was highly creditable. This procession was
the most beautiful part of the celebration.

CITY AND COUNTY.

1t is but recently that our citizens have be-
gun to realize and appreciate the beauties of
our charming pond, and there are even now
only a few who derive from it any of the pleas
ure they might from such fine sheet of wa.
ter. The winding shore, now jutting out into
promontory, now retreating into a beautiful
bay, is on almost all sides clothed with forest
trees, while the many islands, just now exhib
iting their darkest and clearest green, lend
romantic charm to the landscape. Instead of
the swamps and beds of weeds which SO often
border similar ponds, the water here is every
where deep enough to float boat to the very
edge. Myriad pond lilies now in bloom give
the spot called the lily pond an angelic radi-
ance not unlike that which filled Abou Ben
Adhem's room and along the shores and isl
ands the fragrant azalias and other wild flow
ers hold forth temptations to Vandal hands.
The cottage at one end of the pond has long
been a favorite resort for picnic parties, and it
is to be regretted that the storm Of last Friday
blew over the tower which stood on the neigh
boring point, and served so long as pleasing
landmark to fresh water sailors and travellers
in the cars from Boston.
The interest i'll boating which has been so
much on the increase of late years, has gained
much strength the past year in Worcester, and
we are glad to see such a fleet of boats on our
pond. The number, though not yet very
large, is rapidly increasing and already con-
tains almost every species of craft which vary
in size from huge whale boat, though the in.
termediate steps of a barge, sail boats, club
boats, dores birch barks, scows, and tubs, to
wherry, almost too diminutive for comfort.
The four-oared lapstreak recently butby Reed
Of Charestown, for thea talanta Club, is to the
Worcester navy, the greatest acquisition of the
season. This crew and that Of the Phantom
are out for practice and pleasure, as well as
profit, almost every evening. In addition to
the regular clubs, many others, some us spec
tators and some to row, are attracted to the
| pond, and as the excitement must naturally
increase when the college boats arrive, there is
a very good field for speculation for some en-
terprising omnibus driver to run several
coaches back and forth each day.
Great interest is of course felt in the ap.
preaching college regatta. The committees
have been appointed and the arrangements
for It have begun to made. A more exciting
boat race has never occurred in this country
than this one promises to be this summer.
The best rooms in our hotels have already
been engaged; and an application for twenty
one at the Bay State House arrived few days
ago from Cambridge We are informed that
Mechanics Hall has already been engaged by
the Harvard Glee Club for their concert ON
the Monday evening before the regatta. The
reputation Of the club, won by their perform.

"THE DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENr."-
Connected with the gallant corps Of the indie

such, duty commonly devoved upon women

needed, to the sick or dying. The French

OF her office as the dispenser of the ife.restor-
ing draught The feature is Il novel one in a
corps OF American soldiers, but Madame ap-
pears as completely at home in the company
as any other Of its members. AS our brief
notice would be rudely incomplete if we ig
nored the important question, as she pretty?"
we must say that transient interview with
her does not warrant us in giving an opinion
upon point of such very grave magnitude.

POLICE CoURT.-On Friday a large number
of common drunkards, who had taken lodg-
ings in the lookup the night before, were duly
sentenced Dennis O'Connel and his wife,
Margaret, and James Carroll, were each sent
to the House of Correction for one month, for
that offence. For the same misdemeanor,
Catherine Farvey was sent over for four
months, and Michael Doolan for six months
John McNulty was fined SIS and costs, and An
drew Langyin Sc and costs, for disturbing the
peace. Michael McKoon, for defrauding Owen
Kane, was put under 5000 bonds to answer
therefor at the next criminal term of The Su-
perior Court. The same defendant, for selling
gin to said Kane was fined SO and costs, with
the usual term of imprisonment &C., from
which sentence he appealed, and was put I'M
der $500 bonds to prosecute his appeal, max.
ing defendants bonds $400 in all. In default
OF bail he was committed.

DECLIHATloN OF Mr.. PHILLIPs.-HOn. Ste
phen II. Phillips, for the last three years at
torney general of the commonwealth, declines
to be a candidate for reelection, proposing to
return to the practice of his profession. Mr..
Phillips has conferred credit and dignity upon
the Office by the able and impartial manner in
which. he has administered its duties. His
determination to retire from the post will be
received with very general regret The letter
is addressed to the chairman of the repub-
lican state committee, and is as follows -
BosToN, July 2, 1860.
Nh Dear SRI do not know at what time
the state convention of the republican party
will be held this year, but as | am about TO be
absent from home for some time, l think it
proper TO communicate to you as the chairman
of the state committee, my desire not to be
again considered candidate for the office
which l now have the honor TO hold. In COM
municating this purpose | desire to express
my acknowledgements to the republicans OF
Massachusetts for the generous support which
has been extended to me at three elections.
The office of attorney general is so closely
connected with the administration Of justice,
that its incumbent ought not to participate ac-
lively in political controversies, or to assume
in any way the character of a partizan. AT
the same time, it gives me pride when the
complete aScendency of the republican party
seems so near at hand, in the nation as well as
in individual states, to express again my con-
fidence in its principles and my earnest wishes
for its permanent success.
Very respectfully, your obedent servant
STEPHEN H. PHILLIPs.

MAMMOTH SKELEToNs.-A correspondent
OF the Winona (Nlinnesota) Republican writes
that Mr.. A. l.. jerks of that place, who is
prospecting in one of those mounds which are
so common in that country, recently discover
ed, at the depth of five or six feet, the remains
of seven or eight people of very large size.
One thigh bone measured three feet in length
The under jaw was one inch wider than that
OF any other man in this city. He also found
clam shells, pieces of ivory or bone rings,
pieces of kettles made of earth and coarse
sand There were at the neck of one of these
skeletons teeth two inches in length by one
half TO three tourths of an inch in diameter,
with holes drilled into the sides, and the end
polished, with a crease around it. Also an
arrow, five inches long by one and half wide
stuck through the back, near the back bone ;
and one about eight inches long stuck into the
left breast. Also the blade of copper hatch.
ct, one and a half inch wide at the edge. and
two inches longer. This Ratchet vas found
stuck i'll the skull of the same skeleton. The
mound is some 200 feet above the surface of
the Mississippi, and is composed of clay, i'm
mediately above the remains, two feet thick :;
then comes layer of black loan then anoth.
err layer Of clay six inches thick, all so closely
packed that it was with difficulty it could be
penetrated. There are some four or five diff
terent layars Of earth above the remains
There is no such clay found elsewhere in the
vicinity.

The republican state committee met in Bos-
ton, yesterday, and decided to call the state
conventio on for the present year at Worcester,
on Wednesday, the 10Th Of August next. The
basis of representation is the same as last year
one delegate for each city and town, and one
additional delegate for every two hundred
voters, or majority fraction, according 10 the
last state census There was a very earnest
effort made to have the convention held in
Boston, but the majority, by a very close vote,
thought it would be better to. meet in some
central locality.
The democratic city committee of Roxbury,
at meeting, Tuesday evening, rejected
proposition to hold Douglas ratification
meeting, and agreed, on the motion of Chas
Davis, Esq, to endorse the nomination of
Breckenridge and Lane as the Irregular" nom
nations Of the democratic party. Similar
demonstrations have been made in other places.
1t is understood that the Breckenridge wing
OF the democratic party in Salem, numbering
fourteen in all, is divided into custom house
clique and post office clique. 1t is thought,
however, that the division is not SO serious as
to prevent them from uniting on one electoral
ticket.
In 1856 the republicans had but one German
paper in Indiana, but now the tables are
turned, and the democrats have but one, while
six are doing effective service Tor the repub-
lican cause The Illinois State journal gives

ances at Cambridge and vicinity, and the
praise which Mr.. Dwight has lavished upon
them in his Journal of Music, will be sufficient
to secure a large house.
Every advocate of healthful pleasure and
physical vigor must rejoice that such an I'M
pulse is given to boating, for it draws people
out of buildings, where they stay too much,
into the sun, and the air, and the vicinity Of
Beautiful landscapes. Although it must be
acknowledged that the process of training to
which the young men subject themselves in
preparation for race is carried to an extreme,
the effect on the community must be to inter
est the young of both sexes in those amuse-
ments which are elevating and invigorating
both to the mind and body. The result must
manifestly appear in the physical constitutions
of the next generation.

New PHASE OF THE TRAFFIc-WEsT
INDIA NEGROES KIDNAPPED.-The New Ha,
ven Register publishes the following extract
from a letter dated St. Croix, June 10:
There is very strange story here, from
Tortola, which is asserted from respectable
source, and of which | have no doubt myself
of IFS truth, namely-that an American vessel,
about two weeks since, called off the island of
Anagada and hoisted signals of distress,
which of course Immediately brought off
host Of wreckers, all negroes or colOred men,
to the number of twenty. one. On their get
ting on board they were politely asked below
to take some refreshments, when their boats
were cut adrift and the vessel made sail
and stood to the north, where bound to, no
one of course can tell, but tits generally
supposed she is destined for New Orleans or
some other southern port. Another strange
circumstance has recently occurred here which
| can vouch for, and which should be made
known through the press. A number OF
| negroes landed from an open boat few weeks
ago on the east end of this island, who, OH
being questioned, stated that they, with one or
two other boats, (which are supposed TO have
made Tortola) left the Dutch Island of Saba
two nights previous to their landing here.
Slavery still exists in the Dutch colonies, but
the owners Of slaves apprehend that the
government intends to emancipate them
ere long, without suitable compensation.
These fugtives state as their reason for max
ing their escape that their owners were max
ing arrangements to dispose of them for the
New Orleans market, to the captain of some
American vessel lying in the harbor of St.
Eustatia hence they had concluded to risk
the dangers Of the sea in an open boat, with
the chances Of starvation, rather than be sub
jected TO the hard lite of sugar plantation in
Louisiana. These people are now at work as
hired laborers ON different plantations"
