Cape Horn Route to China.

Captain Robert B. Forbes, of Boston,
has recently suggested to the Hydro
graphic Office new route for vessels
from the United States to ports in Japan
and Northern China. His suggestion
substantially is that vessels leaving
American ports during the months from
August to November inclusive, and ar
irving on the China coast during the
season of the northeast monsoon,
'.could accomplish the voyage in a
shorter time by the way of Cape
Horn than by the route around the
Cape of Good Hope" The researches
OF the photographic Office on this
point, though not conclusive, show ap-
parently that this voyage can be made
via Cape Horn in about fifteen days less
than by the old passage north of Aus
tralia and in about twenty-five days less
than by the passage south of Australia.

WHAT WISCONSIN GOT.

The Sentinel's Washington correspond
ent gives the following relative to the
disposition of the Wisconsin members on
the committees in h. House:
Wisconsin members Jared tolerably
we'll in the distribution of house commit
tees. There being but two Democratic
members and one of them diss bled, there
was but Que craftsmanship in Wisconsin,
and that of course went to Gen. Bragg
Mr.. Rankin was offered his place on
Rivers and Harbors, but for obvious
reasons declined. He was given mem
bership on two inferior committees,
namely levies and improvements on the
Mississippi river, and on ship building,
but he will never render any committee
service, so the appointments have no
significance. As to the other Wisconsin
members Guenther carried off the leading
prize, securing place on the committee
on postotfices and po.trcads which will
report the Postal Appropriation bill and
other important p' stal measures includ :
ing the postal telegraph. He wanted to
be on the River and Harbor committee,
but was brought in conflict with Mr..
Stephenson. The speaker endeavored
to be impartial and neither of them got
the coveted place Mr.. Caswell wanted
to be on the Appropriations committee,
but as he opposed the Carlisle-Morrison
scheme for the REVISION of the rules he
was not gratifed. Furthermore, the
speaker was compelled to make choice
between him and Butterworth, OF Ohio,
who has served four years an the Appro
priations committee. Mr.. Caswell was
allowed his choice of three other import
ant committees aud selected the Judici
airy.
Mr.. Stephenson was given Public
Lands and Mr.. La Toilette Indian Affairs
Mr. Van Setback was given his choict
and selected Railways and Canals. ar d
in addition was appointed on Manutact-
ures. Mr.. Price was disappointed. He
wanted to be on the Coinage, Weighs
and Measures, on the Labor and Alcohol
ic Traffic committees. He got the last
and was given a place on the Agricultur'
al committee. M. Thomas was likewise
disappointed, being given Private Land
Claims and Expenditures III the Navy
department, TWO unuesliaole oonIinl'tees'
having little to do.
To summarize, Messrs. Bragg, Guen-
Their, Caswell, Van Schaick, Stephenson
and La Toilette got what they waited, or
what is just as good, while Price and
Thomas came out behind. This will
be the first congress in fifteen years in
which Wisconsin will not be represented
on the committee which makes appropri.
atoms for the rivers and harbors.

Anisic Acid.

The already long list of new antipy-
retic remedies has been increased by
the addition of anisic acid, substance
obtained from the oil of anise seed. It
exists under the form of colorless
prismatic crystals, soluble in alcohol
end ether. 1t possesses antipyretic and
antiseptic properties similar to those of
salicylic acid. 1t also increases arterial
tension. 1t has, however, mild tonic
effect in large doses, for when it was
injected in large quantities into the
veins of enimals, epileptiform con-
vulsions were caused It has been en-
ployed with success as an antiseptic in
the treatzent of wounds, and seems,
when employed in this way. to exert
no poisonous etfect.-Gazzetta Medica.

IT is said that Secretary Whitney is
satisfied at last with the performances OF
the Dolphin. There was no reason in
the first place why he should have been
dissatisfied with the vessel, and the wan.
ton spoliation of John Roach, the dis
charge of 1000 or 5000 laboring men
from employment, and all the scandal
and wrong connected with his proceedings
in the case, we're unnecessary aad
without justification. The Roach busi-
ness is foul blot on the present admin
istration. By the course pursued by
Whitney, the dude. the interests of the
workingmen of the country were wholly
ignored and trampled upon.

STATE REFORM SCHOOL.

In the unexpected retirement of Mr..
and Mrs. Fairbank from the State re-
form school that institution loses tried
and tested officials, whose seventeen
years of experience has made their pres
ence almost indispensable to its COntin-
ued advancement. W. G. Fairbank has
rendered his resignation to become oper-
ative Sept. |. He will Immediately as
sumo charge of the Connecticut Indus
trial school for girls, located at Middle

separate dwellings, each with possible
capacity for 45 or 30 inmates, occupied
by officers and pupils, and three Others
occupied by families of superintendent
and other officers one for school and
chapel. one for working and five other
buildings for farm purposes, 10 in all.
At present the school numbers some $50
inmates. Connected is about 46 acres of
land. Although supervised by the gov
ernor and other prominent State officials,
# is wholly removed from political inhu-
ence. 1t is founded on the most substan-
tial financial basis. This position was
rendered Mr.. Fairbank wholly unsolicit-
ed, and the large advance in his salary,
alone. would have induced him to enter
tain the offer. We find it difficult to eX-
press our regret at the prospective with
drawal from Nergennes society of a Ia
dy and gentleman, who, for nearly elev-
en- years, have been identified in all our
social interests and have become almost
a necessity in our public enterprises. But
one feeling obtains with all, and that i
of deep regret that "here our paths di-
vide" With them, to their new home,

pie that their future may be bright and

COUNTY FAIRS.

The fair season of 1856 is just opening.
Too many of our farmers are prone to
consider county gatherings of this sort
as OF little account, when the fact is that
they are quite as worthy the support and
encouragement of agriculturists as any
others. The Breeders' Gdzette forcibly
states the case as follows:
No breeder of improved stock should
neglect his county fair. 1t is well enough
to exhibit at the more pretentious State
and district shows. but there is no fair
from which the breeder can derive the
same benefit as from his home fair.
There is no more potent agency for edu-
eating the general farmer. to the superior
merit of improved stock than is presented
by the ordinary county fairs, and if those
owning improved stock in the respective
counties where such fairs are held would
esteem it point never to be overlooked
To make as good a show OF live stock as
the resources of the county will permit
of. these fairs would attract much more
attention than they do in their respective
localities. would be more generally pat
ronized and attended. and their influence
in favor of improved stock and all other
improvements pertaining to farm man
agement greatly enlarged and extended.
The Gdzete cannot too strongly urge up
on all its patrons to remember their coun-
ty fairs and to make such effort as may
be possible for their success.

The cause of anarchy in this country
experienced a setback from which it will
not soon recover in the verdict rendered
at Chicago, Friday, in the cases of those
accused of completely in the Haymarkct
slaughter in that city last May. 1t was
as follows:
We, the jury, find the defendants, Au-
gust Spies, Michael Schwab, Samuel
Fielding, Albert X. Parsons, Adolph
Fischer, George Ingel and Louis Lingg,
guilty of murder as charged in the in
dictment. and fix the penalty at death.
We find the defendant, Oscar w. Neebe,
guilty of murder in manner and form as
charged in the indictment. and fix the
penalty at Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary at l5 years.
The press of the country without re-
gard TO politics consider the verdict right
eous and rejoice that jury of sense and
courage was Obtainable for the trial OF
the cases. The outcome of the Chicago
affair, deplorable as was the death of 50
many innocent persons, is of great value
to the country. The anarchists know
now what they ought to have recognized
before, that there is a limit beyond which
they cannot go in action, however muci
they may be allowed to say.
The condemned mems counsel declare
their intention of taking the case to the

SPRING GROVE CAMP

SPRING GROVE, Aug. %, 1856.
The weather on Tuesday last was not
as pleasant as might have been desired
still large number came on to the
grounds in time for the evening prayer
meeting. Rev. J. W. Bennett. the pre-
siding elder.w present and took charge
This has been "A busy day all about the
camp as one party after another came
and set themselves to work getting theil
quarters ready for occupancy.
On Wednesday morning the grounds
were alive early with people coming il
teams. and on the arrival of the variOu:
trains the number increased. Rev. G. H
Robbins of North Ferrisburgh preached
at 10 a. m. from John l6., l3, on the
leadings of the Holy Spirit as necessity
for peace and usefulness as a Christian.
In the afternoon Rev. DR.. A. Lowry OF
New York city gave an earnest and pa
thetic discourse Oh personal holiness
from the words - BE ye holy" in which
he portrayed the benefits to be derived
from personal nearness to God, and the
duty of such life. Rev. j. A. Heath OF
Salisbury spoke in the evening from
Heb. 8 :l3, II and Heb. l3 IL, u, l3, OF
the holiness of the law or what the jew,
had to do to be saved from sin-a genera
and personal confession. The sermon
was full of earnest appeals to believers tC
consecrate themselves to God, body, sou
and will. This was very forcibly illus
trated in eXhortatian by the Rev. f. H
Brown of South Troy.
On Friday Rev, Merritt Hulburd ot
New York city is to preach. He, DIR
Lowry of New York and DR.. Homer Ea
ton of Burlington are the speakers fol
Sunday.
The arrangements for the meetings ap
pear to be very complete and the various
charges of the district are well repre-
sented, which certainly is very compli

tory and as it should be.

More than twelve months ago a
woman in LAGRANGE, Ga, while feeding
a large flock of chickens dropped a dia-
mond ring from her finger, and, not be-
ing able to find it, concluded that one of
the fowls had swallowed it. 1t was not
thought best to kill all the chickens in
order to find it, but the internal arrange
ments of each fowl afterward killed were
carefully examined. a week ago the
ring was found. 1t was under the dirt
just where it had been lost.
