ACROss THE PLAINs.-Mr. Butterfeld,
agent Of the overland dispatch company
claims to have lately discovered route
across the northwestern plains which
reduces the distance to Denver, COlOra-
do, 100 or $50 miles, and which has the
advantage of avoiding the terrible aka
I'll springs Of the Platte route via Fort
Kearney, which are so fatal to cattle,
Occasioning the death, in some seasons,
of thousands of animals Arrange
ments will soon be made for the trans
portation of passengers and freight by
this new route, which lies up the valley
Of the Kansas, to the fork of the Smoky
Hill river, and thence up the valley to
the center of the continent to Denver.
The route is not an entirely new one
as the Smoky Hill route was travelled
over extensively in 1859; but the route
then lay along the northern fork, and
Mr.. Butterfeld probably goes by the
southern fork. If the route proves prac-
ticable it will be of great benefit to
Lawrence and middle Kansas, and will
also give a direct route from New York
to the gold mines Of Colorado, via St.
Louis. One Of the principal advantages
of the route will be that grass will be
considerably earlier and better.

day last, was won by the former in
three straight heats in 2:26 IL 2:24 II,

ETHAN ALLEN.-The Burlington Times
says that the race at the New England
Fair on the Goth inst. for premium Of
S76, open to all horses that had never
trotted before for money was won by
Ethan Allen, Jr,, OF Shcrburne, Vt, in
two minutes and forty,six seconds. He
trotted beautifully not making the
slightest attempt to break during the
whole race 1t would be hard to find
horse anywhere which could trot as
handsomely as he did On the decision
being announced in favor Of ETHAN,
Jr.," some one wished to have the driv-
er weighed. which was done and it was
found that he had lost about two lbs,
probably from perspiration, and conse-
quently was under weight. That being
the case the heat was declared in favor
of TONY Pastor, as he came in second,
and ETHAN Allen, Jr., was decided dis
tanced, and was withdrawn. This was
thought great pity, by most of the
witnesses, as Ethan had so finely won
the race but there was no help.

SPIRITUALIsTIC JUGGLERY.-A spirit
uaI medium named Colchester appeared
at Buffalo. He gave seanCes at which
tables were tipped, enveloped letters
read, strange noises heard, and blood
red letters printed on his arm, So won
derful were his performances, that the
shrewd men of the press were nOnplused
at them, and concluded that he was in
league with some Of the higher powers.
But an unIomantic revenue collector
deeming Colchester mountebank, de-
manded that he should pay his license
as a juggler. That he refused to do
claiming thai he acted by inspiration,
while to recognize the demand, would
be to admit himself n swindler. The
collector therefore sued him, and case
was made up, which went before the
United States Court. Experts were
sworn--slight of hand performers and
others-and their testimony was such
as to show that Colchester produced all
his so-called spirit manifestations by
downright triCkery. He was convicted,
and will have to pay fine. 1t is to be
hoped this exposure will have an effect
in opening the minds of many to the
delusion of 'Spiritualism. No greater
or more damaging humbug was ever
imposed upon the mind. 1t has lived
thus far, through indifference or tolera-
ton. But it deserves, from it's mis-
chievousness, the treatment and expos
ure which scientific and thoughtful men
are able to give it.-Aibany Journal.

Sorghum Sugar.

-. .th. Il Z al
We have received sample Of Sorghum Sugar
manufactured by Peter F. Wilhelm about one
mile from Freeland:f The syrup from which the
sugar was graduated, was made,by j. L. GEM
mill, at Freeland, some time last Fall. . The
sample before us is of rich, clear color, beaut-
folly granulated and Of a very pleasant favor.
Mr. Wilhelm has made about 20 pounds, enough
to give the, process fair trial, and to show the
economy and quality of the product. He thinks
lean be made at from tol0i cents per h., even
at,the present price of labor and material. The
process we are assured, is so simple, and the ma
chinery required SO easy Of, management, that
every Farmer can readily manufacture sugar for
his own use, or more extensively for general
market. 0b8VsN nj gniniM f5vIi3
Il The sample in our hands does credit torthe
manufacturer, and gives assurance that the time
is not far distant, when we can provide sugars
for domestic use within our own homes, Of good
quality and at a moderate price. Indeed, with
the success which has attended Mr.. Wilhelm's
effort, the day may be approaching when SCR
ghum Sugarwill form aleading article of export
from our County, and thus another item be adj
ded to our already rich and improving resources.
The sample ofsugar may be seen at our Office,
and in the meantime, We will be glad to receive
specimens Of manufacture. from other places,
should others have made successful experiments.

the county, looks we'll and promises good

To the Editors Of the Baltimore County Union
-aGBNTLEMENA-T course that you have seen
fit to persue in reference to the nomination of a
Candidate for Congress in the I'd District, has
caused great deal of surprise 10 large num-
Der Of your patrons and friends of eeUnion
cause in. our county. They think that your pa
per which is looked upon as the repre- sentative
paper of the Union men Of Baltimore county,
should have RETAINED from advocating and urg-
ing the claims of any particular person for the
nomination. 9llaA 30 s1isa 9Hj ~ D3uWc y 4
Whilst they have no desire to detractn in the
slightest degree from the merits and claims Of
the distinguished gentleman whomy oui have seen
fit to select your choice, they think there are
other men of undoubted loyalty residing in, the
district that could represent them with ability.
and who would do credit to the district and the
Union Party. 190A "3H e.tH'eH 2 y'eH' "nh
hope that for the future you will cease to
use your columns for the purpose of bringing
about the nomination of any candidate, but

we believe you will. FAB PLAY:
I'VE entirely agree with the writer Of the above,
that q there are other men of undoubted loyalty
