a!' of Thom appeared to Vie excited as to ’ho d;s
o’av of innocence and infaitile beauty. Tho no
vcity of the exhibition wrs of ir*-o'f sufficient to
creates gencrul int rest, but to this wrs added
three services of silver plate as przss. The man
agers of the * show” appeared to be takeu aback
bt the interest taken in the affair. They had sup
pled tha' even tho’r liberal premiums would not
tempt more than a dozen babies or so, and had
miide arrangements accordingly. 10 o’clock yes
t rday morning convinced them that they had un
derra ed “the importance of tho occasion." De
voted mothers and doating fathers, with their ittle
pets in their arms, came pouring into the Fair
grounds, each, no doubt, confi lent of leaving it
with one of the prizes. A small canvass tent had
been assigned us the receptacle of the entries, and
into that, mo hers, babies and nurses tfere ushered
by gentlemen wearing -osettes upon their breasts,
goon was “mn-bo within.”
Yocno America's Voice it Heard.— Astonished,
probably, at finding tin inselves in “mass meeting
as-enabled,” the little ones sent up a cry which
ebook the canvass top, and p.eroad tk6 ears of the
people. In vain did the brass band toot their in
struments to drown if possible “the piercing cry.”
Young America was aroused, and scorning tube
beat, sent forth notes which shamed the key of
tha bugleand made t’O trombone blush tor its
weakneL. "Toa babies! the babies !’> was on the
lips of every one. Piougns, embroidery . reaping
machines, fancy goods, mechanical skill and .-g:i

lilood horses and short horn cattle wore wo wh tr.
The people—mem, women and children, ladies,
genii' men, and growlugjuveniles, i..adearu?h for
the “Baby Tent. ’ Being barred admission, how
ever, they were obliged for the present to content
th mselvesby listening to the music. Some, more
anxious than the rest—gentlemen, we mean—
climbed the adjoining trees, and enjoying free
gratis for nothing a stolen peep at the Baby Con
vention. which from their expressions, we judged
vras highly gratifying.
More Bas ils Couino.—The Judges were about
proceeding to their It -k, when a telegraph was re
ceived announcing that a number ot "babies were
on the trhlu from Dayton, and would be there at
12 o,clock? and requesting a postponement of the
examination until said babies arrived. The request
was acceded to to the great discomfort of the “Con
veution” then in session, A lew minutes after 12
the Judges entered the font, and through tho
kindness of the managers, and probably with tho
consent of the baV ie», we were premitted to enter
the i.n.ct-t/n *n. '< rum and look t pon the scene.
Tux Scene in the tent. —The tent presented a
novel, amusing and interesting sight. The mothe.
and nurses were seated and had the “little darl
ings’ a’l ready {or inspection, that is as near ready
as could bo. To see so many babies together was
novel ; to note maternal effort - to present them in
the best mood, ws- am us' g, and to gaze upon
their innocent faces and purest of charms was oer
tainiv interesting.
There sat a mother, her eves directed alternate
ly on the judges and on a iittle cherub which lay
iu her tap. By her sat another, helding up proud
ly a lovely little girl, whose flaxen curt and sweet
blue eyes would soften the heart of the greatest
baby hater in C*.ris!«udom. Next to her a nurse
was endeavoring to q iet a stout, black eyed,
rosy-cheeked “one year old,” who insists ou
puiliDg the jet black ringlets of another one about
ft a own sgr. One ladv pointed with pride to tne
jibubby leg- of her daring boy, while another
glowingly refers to the delicate but well formed
features of her sweet babe. Onebor,ted of having
the largest of if ' age ; another of the smallest and
smartest. Some ot the babies seemed to feel thei*-
importance ou this pceaMOu, and, in spita of tho
most earne;-t entreaties, would be in mischief and
keep u;; a continued noise Others appeared un
willing to “ hek ve th.euis-lvt'. !, 'and fay quietly
in their motl ? a?ms, wa’chiug ti.c procecdit g
with apparent in'erest, while others insisted on
hidmg their innocent faces their mother’s
bosoms, as if they knew their refuge was there.
Yoi no America's Vernacular.—Then the ex
pressions which fell ou one’s ears! “Tome ty
muddei’s arms, madder's'ittle pet." “Oh! vou
darling ’i'tle toad !” B'e s its ’ittle heart, it shall
have some tandy ” “ Tot, tot, to Baridyboss, on
its inatnnia’a ’ittle boss.” “Stan* up, muzzer’s
’ittle pet.” “ Its sweet, so it is, madder knows it
is.” “ urjtnp ts if wants to, lause it tan dump.”
“Tiae mamma bow, won’t it ti*«s mamma i”—
“Bouncoty bounce, bouncety bouno.-’ “Now
what a naughty boy, gee, tho gentlemen are com
ing.” “That’s a eood baby—iur-:e can tome its
hsir. an’ it don’t try a bit.” “Sweety, sweety,
mother’s sweet,” and an hundred more just such
expressions.
"Where the Babitb Come From. — On.' hundred,
and twenty seven Lilies were entered for exhibi
tion. And they came trom almost everywhere.—
Several counties, including Hamilton of Ohio,
were well represented, and then there were babies
from Indian.*, Lou'.-iana, Pennsylvania and Mar
saehuaefs. We would pubhsb the uames, but
for the serious protest of the parents, who do not
de-ire the world to know that their babies er“ r
ed for the prizes and aid not gel it. We appre
ciate their feeling* tad eub »it to their request.—
Iu such an immense crowd we eould not with any
propriety get anything like a persona! d- on
of the babies, but wili mention a few which al.rac -
ted general attention.
The Prettest Baey.—lt was generally admit'. 1
that decidedly the prettiest child on exhibition
fr m Cincinnati, it is (he daughter of Mr. Hei y
Hv'we. It is really a sweet child, and, without
pretendi g so he a judge, we must coincide with
the general opinion.
Large and fat children seemed to predominate.
One from Indiana, one five months old, weighc i
twenty von a- lal a If pounds. Another, four
moot's old, weighed twenty pounds.
A pair of twir«, of Clark county,attracted much
attention. They were very pretty, and as near
alike s u two peas.
An eiderly’bdy was p*-e-ent with her s* jenteenth
baby, only two months old. She claimed nothing
extraordinary in the jjiid, but though she was
deserving of a premium—and she certainly is.
Without attempting to particularize, we will just
say, that we think all the babies presented were
really pretty,and that their parents nave juat cause
to be proud of them.
The JCliges Deliberate.—'The judges were a
long time in tkeir inv tigations. Ai ertlioy re
tired, tho mothers, wi*h their children in their
arms, walked into the Floral Hail, where they
remuiued, while the spectators crowded past them
to take a look at the I hies. This ended ®io
great Baby Show—the fir. t, butcer'ainly not Hie
Jr.st, in Ohio.
Though the “show” was ended, fbe excitement
Was not over. Every body wanted to know the
premium babies, ard the judges were not reidy to
report. Some la lies were sure that “this duck of
a t-uiiii.” or that “iot'e of a babe” would carry eff
the silver ware, while every parent intsiested wi ?
sure of a prize. The judges not being able to
ociisuit without in trruption on the ground, re
tired to the Anthony House in the c : ty. There
they wore followed by hundreds anxious” to learn
the result.
pßizia Awarded—Names or ihf. Victors.— The
session was a long one, but about 6 o’clock in the
evening the Sinai decision was made, and the
prizes awarded as follows:
First prize, a splendid service of silver plate,
including a large salver, to the daughter of Wm.
Eomner, of Vienna, Clark county aged 10 months.
Second prijftz, a eervloa of silver plate, to the sou
of Wai. McDowell, of Fulton, Hamilton County,
Ohio, aged 13 months.
Third prize, a plain service of silver, to the
daughter of Mr. A, Canon, of Philadelphia.
DissATtsFEcnoN— Volunteer Pittza.—Great dis
satisfaction was i-xpre sed at the award of the first
priz-s. l wis thought it would be given at once
to the daughter of Mr. Howe, of Cincinnati, and
♦i. Wl k r posed to take up a subscription on
the spot, to puretuisa her a ga. worth at lesat as
much as Uu, prize, it Wf that her
claim had been Mrongly urged, and that the prize
SlStS?»'
Those in the minority were determined she
jihould not pass nnnotieed, and after the awards
had been made known, waned ou the little favc
rx e, and through Mr. DeGra- of Dayton, pre
sented b«r with a large and costly statuette of our
baviour Blessing Little Children. This set w&s
highly applauded.
Thus ends oar report of the National Baby Show.
W,, ivnderstand it will be repeated next year, whei
wii> the experience of this year before them, the
managers will be able to p.opare all the ncoossary
accommodations for the “entries."

The Bary Show.— lt is but justice to ourselves
to announce that we were the fathers of tho entire
baby mov» ment in the Ur ted Btates, and wo can
not hut tool a parental regard for every baby that
assembled in Ohio at tho National Exhibition.—
And now wo crave our rights, in the honor of be
ing the first to appreciate tho claims of babies, aud
the import n ee of stirring up rivalry in improving
tho ra eof a n. Our national hone lies iu rock
ing the crate. Liberty kicks ana squalls in the
nursery. Patriotism, iu a bib bibulous, is tied
into a high ciiair. Progress creopß on all fours,
and crows like a bantam. The bonds of our Un
ion are diaper. Tho destinies of a continent, iu
continent of fluids, are wrapped up in flannel.—
Wisdom in cupids is cutting its cupids, and the
streams of p ‘lilioal salvation are flo wing from tho
salivary glands. Give us our credit, then for
starting the baby show, and now let us be allowed
to propose a show of men at the National Capital
It would certainly draw, for there has not been
any thing of the kind there lor years—at least
none of any great magnitude.— Sprtngfleld (Mast.)

Iron bhtpa.
A discussion recently took place before the Bri
tish Scientific Association, which is of much im
portance to ship builders. It wili be recollected
that, according to the statement of persons on
board of the lost steamer “City of Philadelphia,”
which was built of iron, tho Captain of that ill
fated v ssel, lrcm tho hour ot its departure from
Liverpool, knew no pea -o, but was filled with con
stant anxiety ou account of the very material vari
ation of tho different compasses on board, and the
con-oqucnt uncertainty of his precise wh ireabouts
upon ti e ocean, excepting at such moments, as
observations could bo taken. Careful examina
tions, which have been made by Dr.Scoresby, and
other scientific men, tend to show that such varia
tions are nearly unavoidable on boar of iron ves
sels; that except when azimuth compasscss, or
mast head compasses are used, there is no safety
whatsoever; and that, oven with both of these
together, observations cannot bo too often taken,
or too close 02. e used in navigation.
Iu consequence of the immense amount of cap
ital invested by Loudon merchants in iron built
shij>s, every attempt was made to invalidate tbo
testim* ny of Dr. bcoresby and has friends, but
these eff .rts only tended to bring forth in a stron
ger light the fact that, particularly in eeruiu luii-
I tndes, and under certain conditions of tho vessel
it -..-If, such varations w ill unavoidably take place;
that sometimes out ot many compasses on board
of iron ships, no two will be found to agree.
The remedies and means of safety which were
suggested by the Association were 'as said before,
the'useof Azimuth compasses, anu compasses at
tha mast head—thus being removed as tar as por
sioleabove tho materia - of which the vessel is built.
Even these precautions, however, were not deem
ed sufficient, and it was recommended that day
and night observations eh or.! t be rcude with far
greater frequency than would be requisite on board
of ordinary ships, flow certainty can be urocured
that ave "-cl is'on the right course in foggy wea
ther, or when a cloudy sky or continued storms
preclude the possibility of taking observations,
enc tij, ar t have b* en ; tinted cut. < apt.
Leiteb, ot the “City of Philadelphia,” awaie of
the danger from the variation of his com passes,
took observations of the sun each day from the
’lme he left Livepool, until that preceding the dis
aster off Cape /lace.
On that day the weat her was too foggy to admit
It, and notwithstanding every precaution that so
| experienced a navigator and cautions a sailor could
j take, he loss tha r ght direction, bis ship was
i wrecked, and but for a series of fortunate oeeur-
I rente.-, as many or more passengers might havo
! perished as we have since ha to deplore in the
Arc ic.
The increase in the proportion ofiron to timber
vessels, has not been so great in this cou try as iu
Europe. In England the number of iron ships and
steamers has been increasing from year to year,
j until the ques ion of their relative safety is one
efi c ii g immense monied interests. That they
can be made safe, and that precautions can be us
ed to render them «s secure from danger rs other
vessels, v, o have no doubi; and it is fortunate that
attention ha-- been drawn to the subject, and that
tl se i --o--ing the requisite know,edge and ox
perience, are turning their attention iu a direction
which may avert great hiss of life and property.—

Deatrueuoo of the Town of Oaroea, iu Spain, by
a V^#«fpr«pout.
A letter in the Madrid Tribune of September 17,
; gives au account of a terrible and extraordinary
! ea“ strophe that had occurred in Daroca, a small
; town in Arragon, situate iu a rich and fertile val
[ ky, abounding in corn and wine. From its situa
tion, in a deep hollow, completely surrounded by
mountains, this place is peculiarly liable to inunda
tion; and, as a remedy, * tunnel was cut iu 1560,
by a Frc-v htnau named I’ierro Bedell. This tun
nel is a magnificent work, 2340 feet long, 24 feet
v/ide and 24 feet high. The enterprize w; s pa
tronized by the Lope, and as-isted by alms from
t! Christendom. I’revious to its achievement the
wa' -rs that flowed at wet seasons from two leagues
of mount an, rushed through the streets of the
town on their way to the river.
It appe rs that on the 11th September, at three
in the aitornoon, an immense waterspout, rising
from the Lake of Gullocantu, remained tor a con
siderable time hovering over the shore, aboute
league from Daroca. W hen it burst the whole dis
trie w; converted intoa lake. The waters poured
down in ihe direction of the tunnel in a stream
much larger, it is said, than the Ebro or Torto-a,
aud -ten from an elevation, appeared like moving
mountains of liquid. The dimensions of the tun
nel which has a very decided slope, were insulfi
cient to allow the passage ot the vast mass, which
then moved pa-f fanning a spacious sea. This
cxU .ded itself towards the town, at two hundred
yards from which it was arrested by the causeway
that bt-> frequently saved Da r oca when menaced
by perils of a similar natu<e, but less magnitude.
Above V is caii. eway the water rc.se, heaping them
se ves upon it,-ays tho account, to the height of
three yards, and then plunging down on tho un
fori unate t< wn.
The gateway, although an unusually largo one,
was not large onough to allow their entrance, and
another groat lake wa formed against the walls,
which pre ontly began to crumble under its pres
sure. “What then occurred,” says the letter, “is
an inexplicable thing. The waters fought with and
overthrew those houses whoso position opposed
their current. They carried away the fountain of
Ban Pedro, and opening grest trenches aud burst
ing opt a the doors of tlk- Posado and ot several
shops, they spread through squares and streets,
inundating wine c. liars, warehouses, and the first
floors of the houses; income reaching up to tho
very roofs. Throwing down wads and abandoning
everything, the inhabitants fled to the mountains,
when- j they looked on at the horrible catastrophe.
“The loss has been incalculable. In tho vaults
water has replaced wine, the contents of the shops
are spoiled, and many houses are crumbling away.
In the plain around the town the inundation has
destroyed everything. A young woman of twenty
w-'s carried away by the torrent, and many chil
dren and adults are missing. In the first momouts
the anxiety was horrible. None thought of any
thing but of counting their families, and seeing if
any were absent. Tho animals that have perished
are innumeraole, among them many of the farm
horses of tho unfortunate peasants. It is horrible.
God have mercy on us 1”
Railway Carriage of toe Sling of Danmark.—
A carriage has just been completed at the works
of the Eastern Comities Railway Company, at
Stratford, for the use of the King of Denmark on
the occasion of the opening of the groat Danish
line now iu the eourso of formation. Tho carringq

Gooch, engineer of the Eastern Counties Railway.
It is 26 feet in length and 8 feet in width. The
body of tho carriage is paint-d in a rich claret, and
is tastefully ornamented. The interior is divided
into three compartments, tho centro being intend
ed as a soloon for his majesty and the royal fami

the use of the attendants, aud the other to the
purposes of a retiring rcorn. The sides are cover

Health of the City.
Ihe very marked improvement which wo noted
four days ago, in the progress ot the disease, and
the decrease then announced in t o number of
new cases, wo are truly gratified to be assured by
the physicians, continues; affording conclusive
evidence oi the gradual, but certain abatement of
the disease in our midst. Whether this state of
things will continue, will ot course depend upon
the weather. Should that bo favorable, and the
present rain bo succeeded by a good frost, we have
no doubt that iu a very few days the health of the
city will bo perfectly restored.
The number of new cases have daily diminish
ed for tho last four days—so much so that the
prospect iB now brighter than at any period since
the commencement of tho disease. Os this our
distant readers may feel assured.
The Board of Health report three deaths—to
which may bo added that of Mr. Mclntosh, con
nected with tho Waynesboro’ Railroad, who died
ten miles out of the city.
Now that tho old and severe cases aio pretty
muoh through with, wo may expect a decided
decrease in the number of doathß, should nothing
unfavorable occur.

Yellow Fever in Mississippi.—The Union of
the 20th inst., published at Jackson, says: Wo
are happy to state that tho oaekson board of health
hes discontinued its sittings. Thero have been
but three new of fever in town since our last
week’s issue, —Miss Larkin and Mrs. Sides, —both
of whom are doing well. Dr. Warner, Horroc-pa
thist, wo regret to learn was taken on Wednes
day evening.
The fever in Brandon continues with great
severity. Mrs. Rattie died on Friday ; Mr. John
Wood nn Saturday ; Mrs. Standard on Sunday;
Mr. Burr on Monday and Vtmie on Wodniosany.
No less than nineteen cases ot fever were re
ported in Brandon on Monday morning, among
a population of less than one hundred. Several
t of tho young men of Jackson, who have passed
j through the ordeal, go over every night by turns
j to nurse tho sick. Uur heroic young friend, Dr.
J T. G. Farrar, o! this place, is constantly minister
ing to the sick, having leu his home practice in
charge of his father.
Ht au A. Garland, foimerly a member ot Con

The Bank of Capo Fear has declared a semi

Tho Now York Tribune expresses the opinion
that there will bo more potatoes within reach of
New York, of a good quality, in sound keeping
condition, on the Ist as December, than have been
before for ten years.
A despatch from Selma, Alabama, says that tho
Howard College, at Marion, in that State, was
burned down on the night of the 15th inst. No
lives were lost, but eighteen or twenty students
were injured, two or three dangerously.
Days Without Nights,—Dr. Baird in a lecture
delivered, recently, in Cincinnati said:
Thero is nothing that strikes a stianger more
forcibly, if he visit- Sweden at tho season of the
year when the days are tho longest, than the ab
sence of the night. He arrived at Stockholm from
Gottenburg, 4>>o miles distant, in the morning
and in tho uiternoon wont to seo some friends—
bad not taken note of time—and returned about
midnight; it was as light as it is here half an hour
before sundown. You could seo distinctly. But
all was quiet in the street ; it seemed as if the in
habitants wore gone a wav, or were dead. No
signs of life—stores closed.
Tho sun goes down at Stockholm a little before
10 o’clock. There is great illumination all night;
as tho sun passes round tho earth toward the
north pole, the refraction of its rays is such that
yon soe to read at midnight. Dr. Baird read a
letter in the forest near Stockholm at midnight,
without artificial light. There is a mountain at
the Bothnia, where, on the 21st of June, the sun
does not go doom at all. Travellers go there to
see it. A steamboat goes up from Stockholm for
the purpose of carrying those who are curious to
witness the phenomenon. It occurs only one
night. Tho sun goes down to the horizon, you
can seo the whole face of it, and in five minutes it
begins to rise.
Birds and animals take their accustomed rest at
tho usual hours. The hens take to the troos
about seven o’clock, R. M., and stay thero until
the sun is well up in the morning, and the people
get into tho habit of rising lato too.
To be Executed. —Tho boy Daniel, supposed to
have been engaged in the murder of Miss Stowo.
in Franklin county, last September a year ago,
was tried at the recent term of the Superior Court
in that county, found guilty, and sentern id to be
hurtg on the 24th of November next. The only
evidence against him wrs his own confession,
made shortly after his arrest. He now denies hav
ing any thing to do with it, and sayshewas fright
ened into confessing what ho did. He is about 15
years old. His father and brother wore executed
last year for the same crime.
From tho testimony, it was probably one of tho
most brutal murders ever committed in Georgia.
She wrs seized in the road, while going to a neigh
bor’s house dragged into the woods, her person
violated and murdered, by having aquafortis
poured down her throat, and stamped upon by the
fiends, until she could sea cely be recognized when
found. It is a common practice with females liv
ing in the country, to go to neighbor’s bouses
alone; wo would not say unything to make them
unnecessarily timid, but think a little more pru
dence in suoh matters would be wise. —Athens

Trumpet,for light-houses and light ships, so ar

loud that it is said to sometimes send tho sound a
distance of eight or ten miles. The machinery is
inclosed in a small frame building, twelve foot
equaro, and is regulated by a clock, which puts
tho apparatus in motion, stops it, and blows the
alarm at will, once in one, two, three, or five
minutes, • s tho keeper may please to adjust it.
The trumpet is made of brass, about four feet
long, with a mouth piece, similar to the organ

silver, or steel. This apparatus has been tried on
Long Island Sound, and is B.ud to be far prefera
ble to tho Fog Bell.
