Kenosha Engine Company, No. 2.

We have seen in our City papers mott
ces of the visit of Kenosha Engine com
pany, No. 2" to Chicago, on Tuesday of
this week, copied from the Chicago pa
per8, or vouched for by "we understood
&c. saying very fine things Of the compa-
ny but having been at Chicago, and wit
messed the performance, though late, las
we have but just returned } we wish to
give something more tangible than hear
sag.
We went up to Chicago on Tuesday
afternoon and the first thing that struck
our ears, as we stepped on to Lake street,
was racket and din, as if all the omni-
buses, wagons, carts and every possible
vehicle in the City was running at full
speed over the pavements at once.
Our curiosity was excited to learn the
cause. 1--WE had forgotten all about the
fremen's review and we walked toward
the noise, till turning the corner ola street
most beautiful sight met our eyes.
On the beach Of the lake, across two
streets, and one whole square, were ar
ranged the Fire Department of Chicago,
with our Company and Company from
Detroit, in the act of trying their skill,
throwing fifteen or twenty streams OF
water into the trees and lawn of a large
park before them. They were all dress
cd in their gay uniforms, with theiren-
gines and hose carriages decked out With
beautiful wrcaths of all the variegated
flowers of nature, and every thing arran-
ged with the greatest skill, taste, and
beauty.
On one edge Of the line, between two
Companies whose engines were of the
same caibre, we found stationed KENO
sHA COMPANY No. 2, the gallant lads all
flushed with the glowing, and pleasant
excitement Of the scene around them.
i We staid till we saw at least a half
dozen trials made, and in every instance
but one, No. 2 threw the highest and lar
gcSt stream and we heard the Company
complimented all along the line.
J Every thing was conducted in the most
pleasant manner and our boys seemed
to be in high favor with their numerous
new acquaintance, whom we saw gath
cring around them and congratulating
them
Our business was so pressing that we
could not be present at the other festivi-
ties, and can speak of only what We saw

A singular contest has been going on
in Franklin Ohio, for the last few DAYS.
Apalty ofmen who complain thata side
track of the Cleveland and Columbus
railroad interferes with their business,
has been engaged in pulling it up and
throwing the rails into the Sciota river.
At the same time party of men belong
ing to the company has been in attend
ance, with strict orders not to interfere
in any manner, bnt as fast as the rails and
ties are displaced, to replace them. This
order has been obeyed to the letter. As
fast as the rails have been pulled up and
thrown into the river by one party they
have been quietly fshed out by the
other. This singular warfare has been
carried on with the most perfect good
nature on both sides.

Crops in Eastern Michigan.

! trip of three or four days through
the county of Jackson, and potion OF
Aillsdalc, with ample opportunities Of
hearing the opiuions ofcompetentjudges
to the appearance Of the wheat crop
III the neignboring country, has fully i'm
pressed us with the convection that the
wheat crop IN eastern Michigan will be
far below an average. Throughout the
whoe course Of the route from jackson
to Moscow in Hillsdale county, the fields
of wheat were remarkably thin and in
some places quite bare. Many ofthe lar
gest promising topay back the seed, much
less the labor Of putting it in the ground
and harvesting it. Nor was this the case
IN two or three instances, it was the gen
eral rule for the whole. We were also
informed that like fields Of wheat were
very prevalent in all the tract Of country
that stretched eastward and southwark
from jackson.
Grass is also in many places promises
TO lie scarce, the clover and timothy hav-
my suffered equally with the wheat. from
the effect Of the severity of the winter.
North of jackson the wheat fields have II
much more healthier appearance. and
though far from being heavy crops on any
Of them, they promise to return enough
to repay the outlay for labor and seed.
The grass also in the Northern section
mas not been cut oil 50 badly by the win
ter killing as III the sauthern districts.
Many Of the fields show Il fair growth Of
clover, and those seeded have come for
ward handsomely.
The wheat along the line Of tie rail
road a far out 4s Jackson, looks poor
and thln though not killed out to any
such extent as we saw in Jackson and
HlIlsdale. Oats look very well every
where, and there Will be very large
crop Of them. The corn is just coming
forward but it Is Yet to soon to predict
much about it, it generally having been
planted late. In fields where 1T was
planted Oh a clover sod the brown grub
mas becn unusually severe, and has caused
much and t. planted oycra second time.
But Is all coming forward rapidly, and
the prospect il favorable fora tair growth
during the remainder Of the month.
Sheep shearing is mostly over. The
clips which we have seen in our travels
were mostly taken from crosses. and
grades of Spanish merjnUcs. The wool
was fine. Planners exhibited no anxiety
about bringing to market ut the present
time, Some Of the clips which we exam
ined, average from 1000 to 5000 pounds
Of fine wool, the tioeccs weighing three
to four pounds each.
For this kind Of wool the farmers
mostly expected 20 set 40 cents pcrround.
Some good wool has been sold at Jack
son during the past week at BIZ cents
per h., and we have understood that as
high as 10 cents have been paid, but this
price has only been gwen for something
extraordinarily fine.
Ifeye may draw any inference from
what we seen. we should be inclined to
the opinion tat the present season will
/ be a severe enc for the farmers in the
eastern and some Of the southern com~
ties, and we are forced to admit that the
reports of tn effects Of winter killing in
a number of counties, have not yet been
exaggerated, but have been rather under
rated. Detroit Daily Democrat.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR IN THE
GULF,-As Capt Daniel German, Of the
ship Jessey from Limerick, was on his
outward voyage, and when about forty
five miles southeast of the island of An
ticosti, during thick fog and surround
cd by field ice, he heard the report of a
gun. Surprising it to be from another
vessel near ut hand, he caused tle fog
bell to be rung, to avoid acoIlision. In
about twenty minutes the fog cleared off
and his ship was found to be close to a
piece Of ice, on which lay in view the
body Of an Indian extended, and still
bleeding profusely from wound in the
chest, He was quite dead, and not far
from him lay the body fano.hcrTniian,
with dead seal alongside of him. The
first poor fellow, it is conjectured, despair
ing Of relief from certain death by starva-
ton, had just pat period to his eyis-

so near. They probably went out to sos,
when the first dying with the cold, the
