No let than 12; .3 oVr> 000 visit 3d the Fair to-day, (exe tiding bab’es) 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 cn tural Mice* ss, were ail forgotten in a moment. 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.

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.) It fpublican. 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.— j\. }'. Journal <f Canmtrot. • 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.

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.

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 Banner.

A New Fog-alarm Trumpet. — At.or long con tinued (xpe ment, Mr. Dalroll, of Connecticut, has succeeded in constructing a mechanical Fog Trumpet,for light-houses and light ships, so ar ranged that it blows at OMcd intervals, and so 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 pipe. The tongue is of hammered brass, German silver, or steel.
