The Musical Convention ana Concers
ut Mc(sregOr.

We had the good fortune to bc present
on Friday last to listen to the most sublime
music ever discoursed west Of milwaukee,.
Early in the evening large and respectable
audience assembled in the spacious hall OF
the Congregational church to welcome
about one hundred and twenty singers,
consisting Of ladies and gentlemen, who
had collected there from parts Of Western
Wisconsin and Northern Iowa, for the pur.
pose OF joining in one grand chorus. 1t is
seldom if ever that we have been permitted
to gaze upon more brilliant array of beau.
ty and listen to q more harmonious con.
cert.
Prof. Geo. F. Root, under whose man.
agement and direction the affair was con-
Quoted, proved himself to be eminently
qualified for the task, and has established
for himself an envious reputation as a pro.
fessor of music and song; and considering
the short period these singers were given
to practice together, the result is truly won
derful even the most fastidious expressed
their admiration.
A cavatina sung by Mrs. Remick Of Nc.
Gregor was executed with great precision
and tact, which entities that lady to the
palm in opera singing; while as choirist,
Mrs. Scott, Of McGrgor. was the distingue
in that branch Of singing.
We were happy to notice our friend
Geo. w. Tenney, Of the Times, taking an
active part in the performances. His part
in "stammering song elected trcmcnd-
Gus applause and da capo.
While we regret that Lansing was not
represented by any singers, we are proud
to mention that large delegation Of ladies'
and gentlemen were present from Wan.
kon, who distinguished themselves through.
out the whole performance as first class
singers, and who elected the praise and
admiration not only Of the entire audience,
but Of Prof. Root himself.
Among the delegation from Waukon We
noticed L. G. Calkins, Esq and lady.
The result Of this convention was so
gratifying to Prof. Root and to those who
were engaged in it, that it is the intention
to perpetuate the same, and Waukon is
spoken Of as the next place of meeting
Lansing Argus.

A PLEASANT BEyERAGE.-A Richmond
correspondent of the Charleston Courier
throws considerable light upon the whisky
question in Virginia. He says that "with-
in six months two additional distilleries
have been established in Virginia, and that
they are buying up all the corn, their pro-
fits being so enormous that they can afford
to pay the highest price for it.' He next
describes the peculiar virtues Of this corn
whisky upon the human system: ut car
bonizcs (or burns into crust) the mucous
membrane of the windpipe, sets the brain
on fire, and sends cold tremor through
the system" A soldier taking half doz.
en- nips is drunk for week, and second
or third repetition of this experiment drives
the breath out Of his body Perhaps the
drinking Of so much Of this stuff has
caused the evacuation of Manassas.

A QUAKER PATRlor.-The following oc.
Cured not many weeks since, in the Qua
kcr town Of Richmond, Indiana:
A wealthy Quaker whose four beautiful
horses were the admiration of the place,
was asked to aid pecuniariiy in the forma-
ton Of a regiment Of cavalry. He replied,
Friend, thee knowest that cannot give
thee money or horses for war-acar is
wicked-but as for my four horses, it is
true that too will serve my needs; and,
friend, will say this 20 thee, that my sta
ble door is not locked; and if see thee

magistrate when two of his fine horses

How no mb-shells are Made.


The manufacture Ct bomb sh, lis is very
interesting The shell is first filled with
old.fashioncd, round, loaAcn bullets; melt.
ell sulpher is then poured in to Ill the inter.
stices, and bind the bullets in one solid
mass. The shell is then put into kind
of lathe, and cylindrical hole Of the ex-
act sizc Of the oriRce of the shell Is bored
through the bullets and sulpher. This cav.
ity is filled with powder even with the In.
terror edge of the orifice six.inch shels
of the kind here described helding about
half pound The fuse fitted into the
orifice is rec mt Belgian invention, made
Of pewter, and resembles the screw caps
used for the patent fruit tans. An exam.
ination of this pewter cap ssp shows,
however that it is made Of two hollow
discs Of metal screwed together, and dlled
with meal powder. A number Of hnc
holes are drilled in the lower disc, while
the outer disc is entire, and marked with
figures, in the circle, /, 2, 3. s. In this
state the shell is water proof. WhlR ta-
ken fer use, the gunner, by meanSof
small steel instrument, scoops out por.
ton Of the outer soft metal surface, and
lays bare the charge Of composition pow
der below it. If the shell is desired to ex'
plode in one second after leaving the gun,
the scooping is made on the figure l; II in
two seconds, on the figure 2, and 50 on;
the idea being that the shells Of this des.
cription shall first strike the object aimed
at and do execution a. a ball, and then ex-
plode, sending the bullets forward ~ if
from another cannon, located at the point
where the fight of the shell is arTestcd.-
Large shells, Of eight or ten inches, arc I'LL,
ed with powder only, and, bursting, do ex-
ccution by means Of their fragments.--
These large shells are generally Aired by
means of fuse of meal powder, extending
througha brass plug screwed into the
mouth Of the shell. In both cases. ti.c
fuse is fred by the ignition Of the charge
in the gun.

notice communication in relation to horse
Rail Road in Northern Iowa. Mr.. Bow
man does not exactly know or does not
wish to tell how he is to obtain means to
build said Road to Postville, but west of
that, he seems to think it very easy af-
fair. When at Postvillc he commences to
sing the same tune that was sung by Dwight
& Co. in 1851. Now Ossian, Calmar and
New Oregon, if you want the road you
must subscribe liberal in stock or you will
loose it as Clerlnont and West Union are
making every effort possible to secure the
Road to that route and the same is said to
Clermont and West Union of this route
| do not believe that this route wishes to
compete with the West Union route for
Horse Railroad on the proposed plan, his
mmuncation implies that the Road is to
be built by the subscribed stock Of the far
mers on the line Of said Road, and they are
required to pay toll for the use Of the
Road until the stock is used up, which is
equal to giving the Road away when in
operation to the individual who does the
wind work
think il we conclude to build the Road
by our subscription and give it away, we
| will dispose of it as Cameron did of the
contracts, give it to our relatives. Taking
Railroad stock in this vicinity is played
out. The people are not be humbugged by
another Dwight operation who is yet in
debt to several here for his board,
who obstructed our wagon road with
trenches and embankments, who threw
down our fences and cut bitches through
our farms and then left the country with
the shovel army at his heels to make him
disgorge their summers wages.
We dc not want a Railroad until capi-
talists will build it, when it is done We will
patronizc it. If it is built on the West
Union route it will suit US quite as we'll
1t is preposterous idea that farmers can
assist in building railroads, while they
have heavy taxes to pay, and their market
blockaded preventing them from receiving
much more than the cost Of raising their
produce. Let individuals who do not re-
present sufficient capital to build the pro
posed Road stand out of the way Of those
that have feeble organization, and will
only play the Log in the Manger.
Very respectfully yours,
