ESDoRsISG NorEs.--We put down
the custom of endorsing what is called
accommodation paper, as Ia grande toHe
OF the age. In the first place it may be
set down as a general principle that no
man who can raise money on iona tide
securities, will stoop to despicable mean
nessofbegging his freind's endorsement.
What right has any man to ask us to
shoulder his responsibilities? to take all
his risks without any of his profts-to
entrust our fortune, honor, reputation
everything that is dear to us-to the
casualties and chances ofpriyate specu-
lations, in which we have no interest.
and over which we have no control?

CHINESE SUGAR CANE II Rock Co.
The Sorghuna, or Chinese Sugar Cane,
has been raised in Rock County. A
gentleman named Lockwood, living in
the town Of Union, receivedsomemonths
since some choice melon seeds from a
family living in Illinois, but recently
from France. With the melon seed he
received another Of which he knewnoth-
ing. He planted it, however, last spring
and reports that it grew finely, some
stalks attaining sixteen feet in length.
His cattle broke into the enclosure once
and ate a portion of it. The remainder
he secured, and allowed it to remain
under shelter until the attention of his
neighbor, Esquire Pearce, was called to
the Sugar Cane by some articles in the
Free Press. The knowledge that the
seed had been procured of a French
family, and that the Sorghum was i'm
ported to this country from France sur-
gested the idea that this might be the
plant. A specimen was brought to
Janesville and compared with some sent
to the Secretary of the Rock County Ag-
ricultural Society, from the Patent Of
fee at Washington. 1t was found to be
not only genuine Sorghe0n seed, but su-
perior in quality to that sent ont by the
Commissioner of Patents. tits evident
ly better matured, harder, and in every
respect more perfect. lIessrs. Barrows
and Lund, of the Agricultural Depot,
Immediately secured what had been
saved (about forty pounds,) and now
have it for sale at their store.
This shows conclusively that the sugar
cane will not only grow, but also attain
the highest development in Rock Coun-
~. The plant, according to our infor-
nation, has attained It's largest size in
the town Of Union, and that it fully ma
tured is shown clearly by the condition
