Suspicious ARair-A Newsdealer found
Carrying QuiDine iu His Budgets.

We learn that on Saturday last the officer
at Alexandria detailed for the inspection OF all
packages carried from that place to the Army,
found concealed in the newspaper bundle be-
longing to the person who has the monopoly
Of furnishing the Army of the Potomac with
news, large amount of qunine. suspecting
that the drug was intended to be smuggled
through the lines to Richmond, where II Is
worth $50 an ounce, the officer arrested the
party. 1t is believed that large business has
been done in smuggling the precious article
through the aid of secessionsts and quasi
Union men In Virginia.
The name OF the party arrested is J. N.
Lamb, who purchased the newspaper monopoly
last spring, while the army was at Falmouth
Y is said his profits on the sale OF papers
amounted to fiy. or six hundred dollars u day
The PREs,pEST's PROCLAMATION AND WRITs
OF HABEAs CORpus.-On Saturday last Judge
sprague, of the United States District Court,
Boston, gave a decision In the case Of five per.
sons held by Gen. Devens for military service,
who had asked for writs of habcas corpus, Pat
rick Cassidy claiming to be felon, John Fagan
an alien, and three others minors. The court
reviewed, at some length, the argument that the
proclamation did not apply to these cases, and
decided that the objections were not valid, and
IL the persons are entitled to a discharge they
must seek relief from such officers as can af-
ford it,

The GREAT BOAT RACE FOR THE
CHAMPIONSHIP.
Hannah the Victor.

PouGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, September 2s.-The
great boat race for the championship came of
to-day. The distance rowed was five miles.
Hammil was the victor In thirty seven minutes
and ffty five seconds, beating Ward one min
ute.
Ward won the inside track. The umplres
were T. r. Boyle, Of Boston, for Ward, and j..
Scott, of Pitsburg, for Hammil. Joe Coburn
acted as referee. The judges were stationed on
the stake boats, but the referee followed the
contestants around on the tug 9. A. Stevens.
Wards friends, who were heavy losers, COM
plain much of their favorite's condition, and
talk freely Of another trial. A general murmur
ran through the crowd that Ward had sold the
race; but Ward himself and his closest friends
deny the insinustion in toto, and they point to
the time made as an evidence of a fair race.
His loss of the race is mainly attributed, how.
ever, to his having too much flesh on his
breast, which winded him, and thus deprived
him OF his championship. Another race Il
therefore not Improbable.

He graduated standing No. - at West Point,
in the class Of 20, ana was assigned to the ar

ant November Q, 1s4l, " for gallantry and good
conduct against the Florida Indians and
twice breveted for like conduct in the Mexican
campaign, once as captain for his conduct In
the conflict at Monterey, and again as major for
his conspicuous services at Buena Vista. In
1880 he was assigned to duty as instructor of
artillery and cavalry at West Point, and there
continued several years. It was soon after as-
suming his position at West Point as instructor
that he formed the acquaintance Of Miss
france Kellogg, an accomplished lady, daugh.
ter Of the late Warren Kellogg, hardware and
iron ner:hsnt Of Troy, N. Y, and who is now
his wife.
When the regular forces Of the country were
Increased in 1885, General Thomas, ttsn full
captain in the Third artillery, was transferred
as major Of one Of the new cavalry regiments.

In the regular army.
Coming North In the winter Of ls6O-6I, III

Virginia, and the conspicuous gallantry and
ability displayed by him on that theatre soou
raised him to brigadier Of volunteers, his com,
mission dating August IL, 1861, and his signal
gallantry and achievements at Mil Spring was
followed by the commission dated April s5,

and exlgency to which he has been summoned,
lie has more than filled the reasonable expecta
tons Of the country.
In person he is very tall, dignifed and COM

courteous. He has good head, light haired,
aud profuson Of long sandy whiskers. He
Is altogether a fine looking man, and yet does
not show in his face and features the remarka.

Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1863-11-12

A gentleman formerly connected with
the coal oil business in this city tells us
that several bottles of oil on a journey
for exhibition, he accidentally had a
bottle broken, saturating the sawdust in
which the bottles were packed When
he arrived at his stopping place, he put
the saw dust at the foot Of plum tree.
it being about the time Of the blossom
ing of the plum tree. That result was
watched, and it turned out that the cur
cuho which ravished the other plum
trees in the orchard, gave this one a
. wide berth, and the plums were saved
to ripen.
This circumstance led to further ex-
periments with like favorable results.
The sawdust thus saturated-which can
be done with the cheapest kind of coal
oil-retains the odor for long time,
which is quite offensive to the fastidious
tastes of the little Turk. The borer al
so willnot put his gimblet into the trunk
OF tree which is encircled with this

Wool Raising at the West.

This branch of stock growing is recei-
wing largely increased attention through
out our Western States; partly caused
by the war, and increased demand for
wool, consequent, and partly owing to
the partial failure and low price Of wheat.
and to the fact that pork sells low com
pared with former years. In this in
crease of sheep, no hindering cause has
been found and no uew enemy develop
ed. The present year has been re-
markable wet one, and yet sheep in
larger numbers than ever before have
pastured the prairie in perfect health.
Many fasmers almost unacquainted
with sheep and wool growing have in
vested in focks the past summer. The
comming winter may prove dear Eek
perience school to them, and cause
them to wish their money back again.
In sheep growing there are three dis
tinct scources Of profit, viz increase of
lumber by natural propagation, growth
or increase in size aud weight, and an
nual product of wool The fattening of

The three objects above noted are the

The eve used in breeding should pos

They should at least be one year old, OF
good strong constitution, have air, ex-
ercise and healthy diet The lamb will
thrive finely if the dam is strong, heal
thy, and a good breeder. Prairie storms
are exceedingly severe on lambs, and
they require good shelter, dry under
foot Those farmers who have discar-
ded swine for sheep should bear in mind
that hog reeve and shepherd are quite
separate occupations. The hog, though
native Of warm climate, will thrive, if
well fed, without shelter the sheep will
suffer far. more. and its increase fire.
quently perish. The eve, healthy, well
fed and sheltered, will generally realize
the fond hopes of the shepherd for in
crease. Growth afterward is natural,
easy and rapid. Good health is neces-
sary, which requires dry pastures and
proper food-subjects for study not cas-
lily exhausted.
The annual product of wool depends
much upon the health of the sheep, both
for strength and beauty of fiber, and
also weight Of fleece.
The three sources of increase above
named, closely looked after, and there
will be small chance of failure in max
ing sheep or wool growing remunera-

We have the summer range without

more abundant than any other portion
of the earth visited by us. Let it nc
