Accident on the Lake Shore Road

The first accident of any account which has
occurred on this road happened on Friday eve
ming last, to the train going south, short
distance this side of Waukegan. 1t was occa-
stoned by the breaking of an axle of freight car,
in which were a number of stoves from the foun-
dry of Head, Campbell d Head of this city. The
engine and tender fortunately We're disconnected
by the shock, and left on the track, but the bal
auce of the train principally was thrown off, and
the baggage ears and one passenger car badly in
jured The track was torn up to some extent,
and the iron rails badly twisted and broken
The baggage master and express agent were hurt
the former badly and the latter less so. We
have heard once twice that the former was
dead, but have no certain knowledge to that eff
feet. The latter is recovering. The trains did
not resume their regular trips again until Mon

Kenosha Wool Market.

For the past week or two, there has been con-
siderable activity in the Wool business, in our
streets There has been a number of buyers
Mes>rs. Hubbard, Blinn, Mygatt, and Bennett &
Scilcck, have each bought largely. Prices have
ranged higher in streets, we believe, than in
any other town on the Lake shorc-34 TO 40 cents
having been paid for all bought. We understand
that greater quantity than usual has been pur-
chased. An amount of cash equal to one-haf of
what has been paid for the entire wheat crop of
last year, has already we are told been paid out
for wool this season.
Mcssrs Bennett 4 Selleck purchased the clip
of Harmon Marsh, few days since, amounting
50 2913 pounds, at "a cents. The quality of this
bot being of fine grade, would have brought high
or price but portion of it was unwashed. The
whole lot averaged lbs. per fleece. We spoke a
rev weeks since at some length of Mr.. NJ Is flock.
They are probably, taken together, the best flock
in the county The clip of some l13 ycarling
lambs averaged 5 lbs, % or per head.
We hear OF some other fine lots purchased, but
have not the names.

!" CnERRrEs ARE RIpE."-This delicious fruit 1

CHERRIES ARE RIPE. This delicious fruit
is beginning to come forward in considerable
profusion in this region of country. Heretofore
the country has furnished scarcely enough for
the birds, but this year there Is little surplus,
and picking cherries has been no inEonsiderable
item in the amusements of the past week or two.
Of course, an Increase from year to year may be
looked for, until the same abundance prevails
here as at the homes from which we all come
a contamination most devoutly to be wished.
As general thing the cherry trees in this Sec
ton are of the choicest varieties. We have pick
ed from our own trees cherries which we think
were as fine in appearance and favor as any we
ever saw, and such is the character of the fruit
generally so far as we have noticed. Fears are
entertained however from appearances, that the
trees of variety which are considered very supe-
rior, will be short lived, in consequence of the
richness of the soil occasioning rapid develop
ment which threatens to prove fatal to them Sc
veral such have died, and more seem in decli-
ming condition. 1t is to be hoped however, that
the fatality may prove to be from some cause less
general.

Melancholy Casualty.

Our community were startled by intelligence
received by telegraph, late on Saturday evening
last, that NATHANIEL B CLAPP, of Somers, (near
this cty) had fallen from the rail road train while
in motion, on the central road, near Batavia, n
vagucress of the dispatch, that the injury might
not prove very serious, was dispelled by another
dispatch received on Tuesday, which stated that
he had expired from his injuries the day previous.
We have not of late years been called upon to
record an event more affective. To a fond wife
and family his loss is irreparabe, ard his many
relatives and friends, Tin which latter category
NAV be placed all who were acquainted with him)
we are sure will long remember and mourn this
casualty which has so suddenly removed from
among them one so much loved and respected.
Mr. Clapp was man, of large intelligence, Of
great enterprise, and exceedingly active and in
dustrious habits. A Farmer by choice, he had
always been active and jealous in advancing the
interests and elevating the dignity of his favor
tie pursuit; SO much so, that his name had alrea-
dy become familiar in the State and TO some ex-
tent out of it, by his abors in that respect. That
interest has lost much by his death, a loss which
will be at once felt ard appreciated by those who
have been Immediately associated with him in
the State Agricultural Society and the Society of
this county, in the former of which he was Vice
President, and of the latter President at the time
of his death.
He was a man, too, of honor, honesty, probi
ty, and frankness in all the relations of life, which
qualities had so interviewer him with all that is
good and generous in the social and business life
of our community, that none could have been ta-
ken from our midst whose loss would be more
keenly felt or more sincerely mourncd.
We have learned none of the particulars of the
accident
In the prime of life, full of health, vigor, and
activity, in the midst of his business, his abors,
and his usefulness, he has been called suddenly
away. May that everything Providence, who has
a purpose even in the fall of sparrow, temper
this affection to the widow and fatherless, and
make it to all of us, while we sorrow, a lesson of
profit.

Genoa Mill.---Bloomfield walworth Co.

This Mill, at the pleasant village of Genoa, in
Waiworth county, if we mistake nos, was built
by JAMES DiCKERSoN. He was as fine and ge-
nerous man as ever walked the footstool, and
died few years since amid the regrets, indeed
sorrows, of all his neighbors, and those acquain-
ted with him. Under his auspices the mill OBJ
tanned character for furnishing as good flour as
was brought TO this market, and the Genoa Mil
brand was eagerly sought after by all good house
wives anxious for good bread.
VIM. FREEMAN and CHAs. A. MOVES are now
the propretors of the mill, and they are worthy
successors of Mr. Dickerson, not only in their
own generous, whole-souled, good-hcarted chris
tan qualities, but also, in the work of their mill
Their flour maintains its early reputation, and
for us, it has always been sufficient to see the
brand of Freeman ~ Moves, to know the article
could be depended on. We are indebted TO them
individually and collectively for many kind re-
membranes, and don't know that can yield
them any better return than to tell the truth
about them and their merchandise.

Steam Planning Establishment.

From our office windows we notice that this
establishment at the foot of Park street, near
Durkce d Trucsdell's warehouse and lumber
yard is undergoing extensive additions and re-
pairs On inquiry, we learn, that it has been
purchased by Durkee & Truesdell who are fitting
it up to do large business They will soon
have it in running operation, when we expect
their facilities for getting large quantities of the
best quality of lumber, will enable them to fur
nish planned flooring and work of all kinds which
such machines turn out, of a quality and at a
price which must command a large share of Gus

tive profits, contemplate extensive building, will
do well to keep this institution in their memory.

enough to put down the pipe, and the ordinary
protection necessary for such enterprise. 1t is
proposed to commence the work within eighteen
months, and finish it within twoyears thereafter
