Speedy Justice.

One of the quickest proceedings in the
administration of justice has just taken
place over in Michigan. On Monday, Oc-
tober 18th, William Crosier and William
Cronum, hands on board wood boat be-
longing to Chicago, called the "Charles
Sumner" were sent on shore at Muskegon
for milk. While there they heard of a
dance to come off at night, and after dark
they took a row-boat and went ashore again.
They attended the dance, and Crozier acci-
denially broke window glass. William
Young and John Powers procured guns,
loaded them with buck shot, and swore they
would shoot Crosier. He ran away and
they pursued him, but as Crosier was get
ting into the boat Powers shot him: be fell
into the water, was picked up by his COM
panion, but died almost Immediately.
Young and Powers were arrested that night
on Tuesday they were lodged In Grand

and convicted of murder: on Monday they
were sentenced to solitary Imprisonment for
life. and on Tuesday night. exactly one week
from the time of the murder, they were
lodged in the Penitentiary.

The sugar Of the chinese Cane win

Ef&0u1atSs E5E
To the Editors of the Chicago Daily Press.
The great question at present agitated re-
specting the Sorghum Is whether it viii pro-
duce granulated sugar, or whether 1t must
be used in the state of syrup alone. The
experiments of able men have already deei-
ded this, yet it may not be amiss to give
additional testimony to the same point.
Last spring friend gave me little seed
of the Chinese sugar cane. which / planted
in my garden, but paid it no further atten-
ton. 1t grew. but none of it ripened, and
last week 1t was killed by the frost. A few
days afterwards it occurred to me to
amuse myself. for an hour by testing its
saccharine qualities. cut dozen stalks,
and, as ] had no machine TO express the
juice, contented myself with extracting a
very little of the sugar, By cutting the cane
into small pieces, and boiling it awhile in
water. The liquor thus obtained was clari-
fed with lime and the whites of eggs, and
then boiled down to a thick syrup. 4 part
of this was eaten TO satisfy curiosity, and
the remainder set aside for the time and for
gotten. No effort at granulation was made,
nevertheless In two days the remnant which
was set aside granulated of itself, without
any measures being adopted to produce that
result. 1t appears certain, therefore, that
this desideratum can be obtained under pro-
per conditions, and it is only necessary for
our agIiculturists and chemists to investi-
gate the matter, and tell US clearly what
these conditions of granulation are.

Quindaro Steam Ferry Boat.

The new Quindaro and Parkville Packet,
named after our worthy townsman Capt,

clock. The boys were up and on hand TO
FIRE a welcoming salute. lazarus" the
resurrected cannon, made the quiet hour OF
night boisterous with its thunder, creating
sad havoc among the wierd and beautiful
faReies of those who were luxuriating In
sleep and revelling in the ideal glories of
dream land.
The Otis We65 was built at WellsvilIe,
Ohio, and is of the usual style of ferry
boats, with sharp prov. She is without
question the best craft of the kind on the
Missouri river-equal IN power and capaci-
ty to the ferry boats which ply at >Ciaein-
natl. She is propelled by two engines of
ample power; has an abundance of room
on the boiler-deck for teams, droves, or
freight of any description, and is fitted up
with cabin on the upper deck.
1t viii join Missouri and Kanzas at this
point, affording all the necessary facilities
for trade and travel, enabling our people to
avail themselves of the abundant products
of one of the most fertile and best cultiva-
ted sections of Missouri, and furnishing the
citizens thereof an opportunity to patsonize
our merchants If they can buy to an adyan-
tage here, which We think they win soon
learn they can do.
The good which reciprocal interest always
inspires, will be cherished between our citi-
zens and their neighbors beyond the river.
Mutual courtesies and friendship will fol-
low. Hereafter our groeers will find no
difficulty in keeping constantly on hand a
stock of provisions, ahd their patrons in the
interior viii be sure of obtaining supply
at lower prices than they have been sold for
hitherto in Kanzas. All parties will be ben
efted-this section of Missouri will have a
market at hand-the large section of Kan
zas that trades at Quindaro will have a
ready supply.

Cheap Sugar.

What with the breaking down of the su-
gar monopolists of last years crop and the
abundant yield of the present season, sugar
must soon be afforded at moderate prices.
The stocks of last years crop in the East
ern markets are very large, and they will
soon be increased by all that can be spared
of about 100000 hogsheads now being
manufactured in Louisiana, and some also
from Texas. The yield has been large this
season in Cuba, and more than usually abun-
dant in Hayti and other West India Islands,
where the high prices of the article have
greatly stimulated production.
1t will be remembered, also, that the crop
of maple sugar last spring was about double
what it had ever been before, reaching NOT
far from sixty millions of pounds. Thou
sands of families in the Northern States and
Canada are thus supplied with sugar for the
year, with the exception, perhaps, of a little
loaf sugar for extraordinary occasions, after
having sold large quantities in the spring.
1t Is yet too early to make an estimate of
the amount of sugar and molasses that will
be manufactured in the country from the
Chinese sugar cane. We do not count much
upon the former, as most of the experiments
are necessarily limited and imperfect in their
character but, judging from the accounts
which come to US through our exchanges
and otherwise, there will be large Quantities
of the latter manufactured, and the uniform
testimony is that it is equal and in some
cases superior to the best produced from the
common cane.
From all these sources of supply, there
fore, the people will have an abundance of
sweets for the coming year, at moderate
priees.-Chicago Press.
