Winfield.

We learn from the Waukon Herald
that a new ferry boat has been built
the past winter at Winfield, in ALA
makee county, to run between that
place and Prairie du Chen. This
boat will be great convenience to
the people of that vicinity. We have
several times, when at McGregor or
Prairie du Chen, desired to visit Win
field, but could not for the want of
some suitable mode of conveyance.
The Herald says:
The boat is named Winfield" af-
ter the place where she was built, and
is designed to run across the river to
Viola, and two regular trips a day to
Prairie du Chen, and more if ncccssa-
ry. To accommodate the public, she
will carry and land freight and pas
scngers at all times, to Prairie du
Chen in connection with the cars, and
touch at all intermediate points be-
tween Prairie du Chen and Winfield.
This arrangement will afford facili-
ties for the citizens of this section OF
country in the way Of communication
with the East and Eastern markets
superior to any hitherto offered.
At Winfield, all the necessary means
for storing and forwarding grain and
/ produce of every kind are furnished
and by this now ferry advancement
goods brought from the East or South
can be landed and stored at any point
between Prairie du Chen and Win.

Of rc.shipping by the river steamers.
We would call the particular attcn-

and Southern Minnesota, as we'll rs
the travelling public, to the fact that
Winfield possesses many advantages
for doing a heavy storage and for.
warding business, and being tributary

The War of the Roses.

The Iowa City Reporter is in favor
of General Augustus Caesar Dodge as
the next Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. That paper says:
We fully concur with the sentiment
which seems to rule in his (Dodge's)
favor, as the next Democratic Govern,
Or of Iowa.
The Reporter should be reminded
that it will be several years before
the next Democratic Governor o
Iowa" will be elected, and it is hard
! ly proper to keep a candidate waiting
so long.
The Fairfield Jcll'ersonian says:
The Democratic newspapers that
we receive seem to be unanimously in
favor of Gen. Dodge for Governor.
No better choice can be made.
1t is understood that Gen. Dodge
will return to Iowa about the first of
Junc,-in season, perhaps, to attend
the great Kilkenny fight on that day

Cane Growers Convention.

The Cane Growers Convention al
Waverly on the Sd inst. was not very
fnlIy attended, owing probably to the
unfavorablc weather and bad state OF
the roads. The Republican says that
much interest was manifested by those
present, and thinks that much good
will result from the meeting.
Mr.. J. VI. Moss exhibited a very fine
specimen of Sugar made from the I'm.
phcc, which was grained without any
extraordinary process. He thinks I'M
phec should be planted closer than the
Cane, as it does not grow so large.
The Sugar was made without any
clarifying, or the use of any neutrali-
yer. Seed sprouts much quicker by
being soaked in warm or boiling wa.
ter.
Mr.. Harmon, Mr. Prue, Mr.. Beal,
Mr.. Bates and Mr.. Byram, each ex.
hibited specimens Of Sorghum Syrup.
Mr.. Harmon exhibited four samples
one in which saleratus was used as a
rfcuururtnur, ~.-~--~l-,--.-s horav and
one in which no neutralizcr had been
used. He preferred borax.
Mr.. Prue, Mr.. Bates, Mr.. Beal and
Mr.. Byram used lime.
The following are some of the reso-
lutions reported to the Convention and
adopted:
Rcsolred, That we regard the results of the
past two uniitvorahlc seasons in growing Chi
neSe and African Sugar Canes to he such as
TO warrant more general attention and more
careful experiments, to perfect the business as
a branch of farm industry.
Resolced. That while the result in the pro-
duction of Cane as Il crop has been cmincntly
satisfactory, and while the manufacture of No
lasses therefrom has not been as successful as
could be desired, we regard the numerous sam
pies exhibited to this Convention, and the nu-
mcrous statements here detailed by the various
members, as proof positive that with the nee
essary experience and suitable apparatus for
expressing the juice and its condensation, the
most satisfactory results may be obtained.
Resoired, Therefore, that this Convention
recommend to the farmers Of Bremen County
and the State generally, more thorough and
carefully conducted experiment to cultivate
Cane and Manufacture Sugar thercfrom.
Rcso'red, That in the opinion of this Con
yention the highest, dryest, lightest land is
the most suitable for the production.
Resolrcd That this Convention urge upon
farmers the Importance of testing the vitality
of their seed before planting
Rcsoircd, That in the experience Of this Con
vcntion, soaking seed in warm water be
fore planting, forwards the crop from two tc
three weeks and it is therefore recommended
to farmers in planting Cane for Seed to adopt
this plan.

WHAT A WEDDING DID FOR AN EDITOR
&C. Tarbox Smeed, editor of the
Wayerly Republican, was invited out
to a wedding the other day, and the
effect it had upon his usually we'll
balanced brain appears to have been
worse than that of London Dock Gin
upon the other editor of whom we
gave an account last week. Here is
what Smeed said after returning from
the wedding:
1--WE were there, and partook OF
the wedding feast and what was
much better we kissed the bride-here
boys, lake the Sheets" they are no
where. Types, we now dare you to
the task-you have failed me for the
first time. Had we types made OF
lightning's vivid fash and ink made
Of the gold of Ophir, wet with the
tears shed for joy by angels, and pa
per made of Heavens ethereal blue
and press made of maidcn's arms
what then? why we would fail, OF
course. Had Adam dwclled sinlcss Il
thousand years in Edcn's blissful gar
den, and the time reduced to mo-
ment, but all the bliss retained, we
could not have envicd him."
