SPRING PRAIRIE. June 4th 81.

TOT thc icltSIhpH'
Spring PRAIRIE, June 4th 81.
Mr. EDITOR, Sir The late torrents have
called to our notice most strongly the great disad-
vantages we farmers labor under, from the want
of good general thoroughfares to a market, either
compelled to remain at home aud bear privations,
or wade up to the aXles through water and mud.
My object in addressing myself 20 you sir is, that
it was currently reported that the citizens of
Kenosha, purposed forming Joint Stock Co.
raining Plank Road through their County TO
this neighborhood, but latterly they appear to
have slept over the subje ct and whatever is done
in that way they leave to their rival sister Racine
to do-the result of such policy is obvious with
ont more comment from me than to draw their
attention to the increasing prosperity of the lat
ter city, which there can be no manner of doubt
depends on the liberal policy pursued by them
in the iudicious investment of capital in inter
secting their county with good travelling accom-
modaton thereby, not only deriving the benefit
of the whole of the trade of their own back coun-
try, but likewise from all parts situated within
reasonable dstancc-for both you and Mr.. Ed
itor would rather ride miles over bad road out
of our way, in order to have 90 miles of good
road than to 90 by direct ront 20 miles over
bad road, leaving wear and tear of cattle and car
riages out of the question. The benefit of a
good road through country to city, may be
compared to a tree which draws its support
through the trunks and main roots, thence through
all the minor ramifcations and tibres from the
SOIL so with the good road it attracts travel as is
we'll known from Road statistics. Emgrants
settling on lands are influenced in great meas
ure by the proximity and goodness of the Roads
to Market, as the value of their produce is much
enhanced by the facility of transport and far
mer would prefer carrying his grain 9'c. to
market over good road even to receive less
price per bushel than he would run the risk of
sticking in the mud, and incur loss of time and
additional expense for an increased rate per
bcshel thrust Mr.. Editor before harvest to see
this important work taken hold ofand to see ke-
nosha arouse from her lethargy and subscribe
literally to the undertaking and emulate If not
surpass as she once did her rival sister Ra-
cine.

For the Tp-eor1nb


Mr.. EDITOR As there has been some little
discussion upon the TURKISH COSTUME, through
the medium of your paper take the liberty to
send you few lines which you will as your
judgement dictates either insert in your paper or
throw into some ofyour pigeon no les.
Now, there are Turkish Costumes and customs,
but, neither we should think desirable to be ad-
opted by US Americans. Are we not as nation
far in advance of the Turks in science and lit
erature? Are we not in our manners and Gus
tums or costumes subject to the direction of e.
qually correct judgments or right principle as
our Turkish neighbors? Why, then, look to
those who are far below as not only in mental
requirements, but even in civilization; for laws by
which to govern US in our modes of Dress
And if we adopt their particular fashion Of Dress
why not their other peculiarities &? Would not
our Womans Rights directly take the alarm
should our husbands or brothers claim the priv
ilege Gf indeed it is privilege of introducing
the Turkish Harem an American custom If
change of dress is really necessary for our
health perhaps our male friends would be will
ling were they solicited to change apparel with
US until the health of our sex shall be restored
and more hardy race of females grown among
us.
! Why Is it always necessary to 60 to an eX-
treme one way in order to cure an opposite ex-

sweepers, must they render themselves rdcu-

habit? have seen the time when ladies' dress
es did not as matter of course sweep the streets
neither did il take whole web to construct
dress and it is also really true that the weight of
our clothing If desirable can be lessened by sub
tracing from the fullhess as we'll as length
With our usual clothing without pantaloons we
can keep warm if our dresses should be few
inches shorter so as to leave the care of the filth
Of the streets to the proper persons for such du-
ties. And if we must make it palpabe to those
who stand at the corners and doors to take OBJ
servation, and make comments that we use legs
as means of locomotion, why not cover them
with good stockings and dresses medium length
as we'll as with short dresses and pants under
the name of the Turkish Costume, which is in
deed very Turkish.
AS for the eulogies which some of our Lords
of creation have passed upon the dress, ant
those who have adopted it, have only to say
that we are fully aware that many of those mer

Mr.. EDITOR Tho question of granting IL
cense under the law of last winter, to persons
keeping intoxicating liquors and drinks for sale,
has of late occupied the attention of our citizens
generally, and of the city council in particular.
The city council after mature delibera,ion. deci-
ded that they would issue licenses under this law
1t is true that discretion is allowed to the coun-
Gil, and yet the provisions of the law are such
as to make the exercise of this discretion mat
ter OF embarrassment, and difficulty TO that por-
ton OF the council, who regard the traffic as pos
tive evil. The Legislature by the passage of this
law, recognized the right to sell, unless the au-
thorIues of particular localities, shall otherwise
decide Now under this law, the authorities are
not called upon to punish offenders simply, but
they are called upon to create state of affairs.
oy which the citizens of this particular locality,
shall incur heavy penalties for doing that which
is legalized in an adjoining locality In short the
Legislature have invested the city council with
power to render criminal, or legal traffic, which
they have recognized as legal, by providing for
1t license, under which the various town. VIII
age, and city corporations share in the profits,
making the public party to the transaction, be it
good or evil. Again no law should be condemned
withouta fair trial unless there be something in
its provisions, which may conflict with individu-
al rights. If this law conflicts with any ones
rights, they are the rights of the vender, and not
OF the consumer, since no one is compelled to
drink gill more than they would if the traffic
was positively prohibited Public opinion is the
great arbiter to which this law must be submitted
aud since the law has been eIacted it is but Just
that the state which has originated it should en-
JOY the full benefit of its provisions. The city
council could not under these circumstances
withhold from the citizens of this town privi-
legc which they were willing to pay for, in con-
tormity to law of the state, therefore they have
granted licenses to all who have applied on the
principle that if it be good it should be diffused
and if evil its effect may possibly be extenuated
! by diffusion, as poison is rendered innoxious BY
diluton. ONE OF THE CoUYcrr.

Rain and Crops.

On Tuesday night the earth was again drench-
ed with another soaking shower of wet We
he'd thought previously that the weather had be-
come settled and dry. But, as in dry times all
signs fall so we suppose in wet times the signs
for dry weather will likewise fail. But muir
mhring will do no no good. If it clears up dry
now and the farmers put in their corn and pota-
toes there is not the least doubt but that the sea-
son will be long enough for corn to ripen and pc
tatoes to grow. We are informed by those in
from tho country that the wheat on the high
grounds never looked better. The farmer may
rejoice yet, and be thankful in autumn for an
abundant crop, from which he may feed his wife
and little ones, and spare mite for the printer,
who has to pay for paper and labor every week
crop or no crop, rain or shine.
