Nearly onehalf the present population are minors,

the Shakers get up q revival, receive, they are

The charter of this road, which few
weeks ago looked SO very promising, is now
hardly problematical The history of the
bill to charter the road is this tho bill or
ginated in the House and passed that branch
of the Legislature; it. subsequently passed
the Senate with two amendments, and WAS
sent back to the House for concurrence; one
of the amendments was concurred in by the
House; the other amendment, which added
four commissioners, the House refused to
give its concurrence The addition Of the
four commissioners, it is said throws the con-
troll of the charter into hands, such as the
friends on the southern end Of the road will
in no event assent to; and they signify their
willingness to see the charter defeated, rath
er than consent to this amendment. On the
other hand those interested on the northern
end of the road, insist that if the amendment
is not retained they prefer to have the char

Kennedy for she Potato Ros.

Our readers have doubtless generally been
informed before this, that a remedy for the
potato rot has been discovered by MFR. E. c.
Roberts, of Michigan. Of the value of this
discovery we of course have not the means
of judging-it may be what it pretentds to
be- and may not. Mr.. R. has been testing
the certainty Of his discovery during the
past seven years. and now proclaims it to the
world as fixed reality, that the disease
which has heretofore been SO destructive to
to the potato crop in this country and in Eu-
rope, may be arrested by every agricultural
+, ist at trihing expense. A considerable
number of gentlemen, of the first respectable
ity, who have been made acquainted with the
discovery of Mr.. Roberts, and have had proof
of its success, have expressed their entire con-
fidence in it as complete remedy.
WM. CoEGpES, of Chicago, is an author
lied agent, and will communicate the secret
of the discovery to any one who will remit
FIVE dollars TO him.
| 1t would seem at first thought that dis
covery of such incalculable importance to the
human race, should be at once made public
and published to the world. But, inasmuch
as discoveries and inventors, generally, are
by common consent expected to derive pc
cuniary benefit, as the result of their skill
there is no good reason why Mr.. Roberts
should not have liberal remuneration for
the time and labor he has expended. If the
discovery is what it purports to be- it viii
certainly prove great blessing.

Railroad Taxes.

A railroad running through the county of
Kenosha, would benefit directly every real
estate owner. The road itself being basis
of taxation, would essentially lessen the bur
dens of taxation on other property. Capt.
talistS abroad would then pay considerable
proportion Of our County and State taxes
The following from the Detroit Free Press
will serve as an illustration
The Michigan Central Railroad on Mon
day last paid into the State Treasury up
wards ftitty-one thousand dolls (5l,75l SAL
as its taxes for the previous year, being +
per cent. on the investment in the State of
Michigan"
Here then is revenue derived from the
taxation of a single railroad, amounting to a
sum equal to full one half of The entire rev
enue Of the State of Wisconsin, derived from
State taxes levied the past year. 1t must
also be taken into consideration, that the
stock of the Michigan Central Road, is al
most entirely owned by capitalists out of the
State; hence, foreign capitalists pay on this
one road, fifty thousand dollars for the sup
port of the government in Michigan; an
amount which would have to be levied on
the farmers and owners of real and personal
property, had the investment in this road
never been made. From this example, the
farmers and tax payers of this county, may
judge of the benefits derived from the invest
nronts of capital in railroads, in the matter Of
taxation alone; to say nothing of other adyan-
ges to be gained by improvements of this
kind.
But furthermore it will be seen that the
tax levied on the Michigan Central Road du-
ring the past year, was three fourths per cent
on the investment. Estimating the cost of
road from Kenosha to the western extrem-
ity Of the county al $4,000 per mile-equal
TO an investment of 100000, at the rate
per cent taxation adopted in Michigan, it
would afford revenue of $3.50 This is
equal to nearly one third of the amount lev
led by the Supervisors of Kenosha county
last year, for county and State purposes
So far as the figures and statistics in the fore
going statements go, they cannot be contro-
verified. Our. estimates are of course liable
to variation, but the premises are sufficient
to enable any one to arrive q. conclusions
accurate enough for all practical purposes.
