SUGAR WoRKs.-Mr. f. Perkins Of
he town of Somers in this county, has
a Sugar Works for manufacturing Sor.
ghum Syrup, which has been doing a
good business during the past month
He has three boilers, capable of holding
500 gallons; with this facility for boiling
the juice, Mr.. Perkins informs us he can
produce from so to so gallons of syrup
per day. Mr. Perkins has been manu-.
featuring syrup for his neighbors, receiv
ing their cane stalks, and giving them
one half Of the syrup producing exchange
Where the cane has grown to full ma
turity and ripened well, the product has
been highly satisfactory; but where the
cane was green, and its growth not per-
fected, it has not yielded well in quaint
ty or quality. A specimen of the syrup
manufactured by Mr.. Perkins, may be
seen at this office.

German Cnnnert

The St. George Gesang Verein, gave
a concert ofvocal music on Friday even
ing last, at Turner's Hall. The singing
was what every one expected it would
be-good. This is a safe conclusion,
because the Germans always sing well
no nation Of Europe produces so many
singers as Germany, The Germans APP,
preciato the happifying Influence of mu.
sic, hence almost every German delights

faithful to their first vows, and are now,
after this long separation, enjoying the

CouNrY Poor Expenses

COUNTY Pooh ExPENsEs.----The
amount of charges for the support OF
the poor of the county, audited by the
Board Of Supervisors at their late sess-
ion is over $4,000. Our county poor
charges it will be seen, make over
one third Of the whole amount of county
expenses. This fact should elicit inqul-
ry, as to some more economical method,
equally consistent withIhumanity,in pro
viding for the poor. We are informed
the County Agent appointed by the
Board, will as soon as practicable, pro-
vide a suitable house,in which the coun-
ty poor can be accommodated. The
amount Of poor expenses above given,
does not of course include the amounts
expended by the several towns, for that
class Of paupers who are not legally a
county charge. .s.a.

THANKsGINING.-To-day Thursday
is observed as day Of thanksgiving in
twenty-one States of the Union. A
few other States had their thanksgiving
on Thursday Of last week. We are
glad to see that the observance Of this
good old Puritan festival has become
so universal; and it may be hoped that
in few years all the States Of the
Union will become accustomed to the
appointment Of the same day - thus
presenting the sublime spectacle Of a
great nation uttering its united acknowI-
edgement and gratitude for the many
bounties Of universal Father. 1t 10
true, we are in the midst of dull times
and embarrassments in business; but
let us be thankful that things are no
worse--as they might be much worse /;
and let us trust the goodness of Heaven
for an ample supply of the bounties and
blessings Of another year.

Card Of Board of Supervisors.


Card Of Board Of Supervisors.
To the Board of Education of the city Of
Kenosha:
misunderstanding from your
Board, an invitation to visit the Public
Schools Of your.city, on Friday afternoon
Of last week, we repaired as q body to
your High School department.
We should have been happy, if other
duties would have allowed, to have Wis
tied your Primary and Intermediate de-
partments, as in them the germs of
thought are seen expanding, but as our
time was limited, we sought your adj
vanced department, where we could
more readily see the results to which
the other departments must tend.
From reports which had gone out of
the character of your school, we antici-
pated evidences Of good school, and
we assure you the indications of your
review day reflect great credit on all
concerned, pupils, teachers and parents.
our school edifices we deem an hon.
or to your community, and the order
and decorum of your school is worthy
OF all praise. From what passed under
our observation, we can but conclude
you are atfording educational advanta
ges Of a high order. Sustain such mel
as your worthy Principal and his assis
tants, for when literally paid your com
munity is amply compensated, and YOU
children will enjoy privileges that can
not be estimated by dollars and cents.
Nor can we deny ourselves this oppor.
tunlty to express our qualification al
listening to the hundred voices ofpupils
Ginning SO sweetly with your school or
gan.
We scarcely need say, Gentlemen,
that we heartily commend Your institu-
ton to the citizens Of our county gene
rally Free schools like yours, not OH
y commend themselves to the tax pay
er, whose interests you are aware we
are particularly called to regard, bu.
justly deemed the glory of the West.
With sentiments of high esteem we
are Gentlemen,
Most respectfully. yours,
H. S. TIIORP, Charm.
In behalf of the Board,

SHALL WE nAyE LECTURES ?-.The
lecturing season is now at hand; in quite
number ofour western towns, arrange
ments have been perfected for course
lectures. In some Of the neighbor-
ing cities, the names Of the gentlemen
announced as lecturers, furnish ard unus
ually attractive list. The Milwaukee
Young Mems Association, intend to &C.
cure the services OF HALE, PRENTICE,
WHIPPLE, CHAPLIN, BEEcHER and BAY
ARD TAYLOR. Besides these, a strong
array Of western talent, is announced.
The price of season ticket for tho
course, is fixed at so.
The city of Kenosha during the past
two lecturing seasons, has exhibited a
most commendable hberality in sustain
ing talented course of lsctures. 1t is
a matter efregret that no movement has
thus far been made, to secure a course
for the coming winter. The hardness
Of the times and the dullness of bus
mess, have doubtless operated to dscour-
age the undertaking. Yet after all,
when our young men, and others are
forced for the want of active employ
ment to have more leisure than they de-
sire, the greater is the necessity for some
attraction Of an eleyating character to
occupy their vacant hours. Ifthe high
er and more intellectual enjoyments can
not be had, those of lesser and often
Of mere debasing kind, viii be resor-
ted to. It is not too late yet, to do
something for the intellectual entertain
ment at the people, by way of public

The framing PR1vILEGE.-Twenty-
six sacks of back mails have arrived at
Salt Lake City, filled with old patent
office reports and Congressional Globes,
under the frank Of Mr.. Bernhisel. Their
transportation to the territory cost the
department 100000. And such enor-
nous burdens as this go to create the
deficiency in the postal revenue, and to
furnish arguments for increasing the
rate Of postage. This is the great
abuse of the ranking privilege, the
abolition of which is one of the first
steps required in the general post office
reform that is so much needed.

FLIGHT OF FUGITIVE SLAvEs.-Battle..-
Ten slaves, three women, two children and five
men, ran away from Pruntytown, Va, few
nights ago, taking with them several other chat
tells in the shape of horses. They left the horses
after the night ride, and steered Tor the North
Star on foot. They were followed and over
taken in Fayette county, Pa, where desper-
ate fight for freedom on the part of the negroes,
and slavery on the part of the whites, took place.
The slave catchers were beaten back, and the
fugitives from slavery made their escape Col.
Armstrong, one Of the owners, in attempting to
capture one of the slaves, was resisted with a
corn cleaver, and would have been killed but
for the interference of one of his own servants,
who stepped in to protect his master. Another
of the pursuing party was fercely resisted, and
badly injured in the melee.
The Wheeling Inteligencer states that on the
return of the discounted slave hunters, party
of about twenty persons from Morgantown
started in pursuit of the negroes, but nothing
additional had been heard at last accounts from
either the pursuing or pursued.
