The Saut Canal.

The Detroit Free Press, contains an account O
the successful passage Of the steamer Illinois ant
the Baltimore through the Saul Ste Marie Canal
From it we take the following.
'The steamer Illinois entered the canal at about
ii o'clock, a. NJ, on Monday, and passed all the
locks to the caSson gate without difficulty Here
she was detained until ii O'Clock, p. NJ. This
gate had never been moved, and it required the
united exertions of the Illinois pushing on the
lower side, and the Baltimore pulling on the up
per side, to move it. After the Illinois had got
through, the Baltimore Immediately entered, and
made the passage in two hours, without the least
detention. Considering that she came through
in the night, the passage was Remarkably quick
one. The next day the propeller Gen. Taylor
and the schooner Fannie and Floy, both loaded
passed through in one and half hours The H.
inois passed on up to Ontonagon, whence She
Will return.
On the north bank of the canal, just above the
second lock, the water was showing Itself thro
pretty freely, and ii was deemed advisable to put
in the Caisson gate and draw off the water 50 as
to give the banks chance to settle. Superin-
tcmdent Burt thought however that he should
have no difficulty i'll passing vessels as fast as
they arrive From the little use already had OF
the canal, Mr.. Whiting thinks that guard gate
Will have to be put i'll at its head

The Culture of Strawberries.

The New York Horticultural Society, Mt re.
cent conversational meeting, arrived at the fol
lowing conclusions in regard to the best method
of cultvating strawberries:
1.-The best soil for the strawberry was stated tC
be a gravelly loan. The land should be well
drained, and TO every acre applied twenty bush.
els of unleached ashes, ten bushels of lime, and
two or three pounds of salt. The ground should
be well broken up; and animal manurcs should
be carefully spaded in. About the first of July
is the best time to set out the plants. In doing
this, pains should be taken to have them firmly
rooted. The roots should be eighteen inches apart
and the plants foot apart.
Sometimes it will be well to allow greater in
terval, in which case the interstices can be filled
up from the growth of the runners. After set
ting out the plants, an inch or an inch and n hall
in depth, then water them plentifully, and the
moisture will be retained a long time. After cold
weather comes on, cover the straw berry beds and
the walks with clean straw, throwing over lit
tie brush, or something to keep the straw in its
place In the spring remove the straw and make
use of some fertilizing agent to give the plants
vigor, as sulphate of soda, sulphate of ammonia
or nitrate of potash Keep the roots out, see that
the plants are bountifully watered, and let moth
ing intervene to disturb or retard their growth
till you gather the fruit. The beds should be
made over as often as every three years"

Necessity for Enlargement of School Room

Necessity for Enlargement of School Room,
in Kenosha.
Every one who desires the permanent good OF
our population and the general prosperity of the
city, should look well to our educational interests
There is now pressing necessity for an imme-
date enlargement of school room accommodation
in this city In order that the friends of educa-
ton. NAV more fully understand the present con-
dition of things IN respect to our schools, few
facts may be stated. The higher department
of the school in the first ward, is now tul there
is not vacant seat to be occupied. The lower
department in the same building, has more sch0i-
airs than can be wcll.accommodated-th room is
uncomfortably crowded. The north ward school
house, is full. The primary school under the
charge of Mrs. Dodge, kept in the second story
of engine house No. z, has more than seventy chill
dren, crowded into space so small, as to great
ly inconvenience the teacher and hazard
the health of the scholars, Every available place
therefore in the city, connected with the free
school, is now fully occupied.
1t should be borne in mind that during the
summer months, our schools here as well as else
where, are much smaller than during the fall and
winter months. If now our school rooms are
uncomfortably filled, what may we reasonably
expect to be the condition of affairs few months
hence. 1t is safe to calculate that at the COM
every seat in the higher department now under
the immediate charge of Mr.. McKindley, will be
occupied. 1t is moreover equally certain, that
as the fall term progresses, there will be from ff-
ty to seventy-fve additional scholars, desiring
admittance into that department. What then is
to be done! How are these scholars to be provi-
ded for! These are questions, which it would be
well for the friends of the school to consider, and
to devise some plan to meet the coming exigency.
The policy of having rooms in different parts of
the city for the primary schools, should not be
countenanced, except as temporary cxpedient;
its continuance for any length of time, is unwse
and altogether wrong, Something permanent
and adequate to the educational wants of the city,
should without unnecessary delay be had. The
friends of education in this city have hitherto
evinced an interest and liberality justly COM
mendable and it is certainly to be hoped, that
they will not now fall behind other towns and
cities in this noble enterprise Our neighborng
city of Racine, is expanding largely the present
season for the increase of school accommodations;
the people of that city seem resolved, that their
public school facilities, shall not be exccled by
any in the state Other ncighborng towns are ac-
tive in their educational! enterprises let us see to
it, that Kenosha loses none of its well earned rep
utaton in this respect.

that grocery keeper, since the law went

in the morning, concluded to try his hand
at the game, and was caught; not by the
grocery man, (for he was able to prove
that he was not in the house at the time,
but by his wife, who very deliberately took
the glass from his hand, just as he was
putting i! to his lips, and took a bumper
with him. She strarghtway entered com

school house and demanded bis child This was
after regular school hours. The master said that
the child should 20 as soon as she had reeted Der
lesson. The parent attempted to enter the school
room TO take his child but his entrance was resls-

been perfected, was legal; that the parent IN at

We repeat it as we YEARLY leave the school room
at night gone, at the end of the week as we walk
home school girl fashion laden with books; gone,
every hour and half hour as anxiously lift our

There is more left The bright Future with
all its hopes and fears is i'll reserve for us Then
''looL not mournfuy into the Past. 1t comes not
