as OvERsIGHT.-In our report Of the exhi-


we inadvertently omitted to mention some very
fine Pears and Plums, exhibited by w. Fl.
Smith, of this city. The Plums especially de-
served a special notice. One small twig. Is
inches in length, bore 81 plums many of them
very large, and all above the ordinary size,
We never saw a more remarkable instance of
fruitfuness. Mr. Smith subsequently left
portion of the twig in our Office, still covered
with fruit, so that can speak as we'll of their
flavor and quality as of their appearance 1t is
only specimen of the quantity and quality of
this kind of fruit that can be raised in our city
by proper attention to its culture
We also neglected to speak of the excellent
dinner got up on the occasion of the Fair, by
GEORGE PERRIGo, of the Plank Road House
Though there was numerous crowd to provide
for everything of the very best, was furnished
in abundance, so that'all were satisfied.

burning of the Kenosha Tannery, requests us TO

Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn, and

without delay Mr.. Lyman warmly recon-
mends this Company to all who wish to insure
their property. Though the rates are a trife
higher than in some other Companies, the diff

adjustment of the loss, and he wishes us espec-
tally TO call the attention of mechanics, store
keepers and housekeepers to this fact-that in
case ofloss, those insured in the Etna, are GER
ain of immediate payment to the amount ofthei
insurance. Mr.. Lyman likewise remarks tina.
he makes this statement solely for the benefit of
ofthe community, and not from any desire to

THEATRE.-Mr DUFF, with an excellent com.
pany, has performed two nights, at Phelps
Hall, to Indifferent houses. We are sorry that
Mr. Duff has not met with better success in our
city, for he seems to be a worthy gentleman, and
and an excellent actor, and he has a company
each member of which acts his part WELL We
have never witnessed better acting in this city,
than Mr.. and Mrs. Duff have shown us. Three
more performances will be given commencing
TO. nj ght with Othello. We hope to see a full
turn out, we can assure all lovers of the Drama.
they will find that they have neglected an en-
tainment of no ordinary merit. Give Mr.. Duff
a good house tonight, and witness the perform
ance of one of Shakespeare $ best pieces.
The Chicago Highland Guards will arrive to-
morrow on the ~ o'clock train. In the evening
they attend the theatre-after which grand
Military and Civic Ball will be given by the Ri
fees in honor of the occasion. The Kenosha
Washington Light Guards, Capt CLARK, will
also appear on parade. The Highlanders return
on Saturday.
A FLUvIoMETER Rev. JOHN GRIDLEY, of
this city has received from the Smithsonian In
sttute, under the frank of the U. S. Patent Of
fee. guage for measuring the quantity of rain
that falls during the season. 1t is a very inge-
NOUS as well as convenient instrument, and we
hope to have the results arrived at hereafter, to
publish, for the qualification of the curious in
such matters.
IL The Kenosha City Guards, Capt. QUIG.
LEY, were out on parade Saturday last, and pre-
scented fine appearance.

from personal experience that ii is one of tn
greatest remedies for general debility, and con
