Steamboat Excursion.

"A very pleasant opportunity will be afforded
on Thursday of next week the 18Th inst, for
such OF our citizens as desire to take a Steam
BOAT ride to Milwaukee and back. The Steamer
Planet, will leave Chicago on the morning of
Thursday for pleasure excursion to Milwau.
kee, stopping at the intermediate towns on the
Lake the Planet will arrive at Kenosha at
half past II o'clock, stopping long enough to
allow such of our citizens, as choose to avail
themselves ofjoining the excursion. The steam
er will remain in Milwaukee until o'clock in
the evening and then return The Steamer
Planet is one OF the largest on the upper Lakes,
and will be fitted up expressly for the occasion
The Great Western Band one of the best
Bands IN the west, will accompany the excur.
sion; also the we'll known vocalists the Baker
Family"
We understand large number from Chicago,
Waukegan and Racine, propose to join the ex-
cursion, and it is hoped goodly number of our
Kenosha people will add to the number. Ticket
to Mliv ukee and return, one dollar.
The fare is less than one half the regular
fare, and as the steamer will be at Milwaukee
over three hours, it wi III afford ample time to
add business to pleasure for such as may desire
it.
Tickets to be had at the store of D. Benedict
Main street, or of T. T. Bent at the store of
Lyman & Bone
Should the weather be unpleasant on Thurs
day, the excursion will be postponed until the
next, or the first pleasant day thereafter Sunday

Potato Crop.

FROM the information received, we conclude
Tue po'a'o crop in this county, must be small
one inns season The same is probably true of
southern Wisconsin generally. The insufficient
cy OF rain during the past six weeks, has greatly
diminished the usual prospects of this crop -
There however appear to be some localities in
the west, where the yield promises tolerably
fair. The Rockford Republican says, Mr..
Bergen in that vicinity, is now harvesting his
potato crop, and the yield will be over 800 BUSH
els per acre. The papers in northern Illinois,
generally do not speak encouragingly In the
eastarn States, the crop promises well; the N.
T. Tribune says: The potato crop has not CIV
en- promise of such abundant YIELD as it does
the present season, for many long year, and
the early crop has been of excellent quality -
In the New England States, the prospect of the
potato crop.is spoken of in fattering terms.

Church ChOirS and Church
Singing.
Messrs. Editors

Messrs. Editors
1t may perhaps be thought by some that
newspaper comments on Church Choirs and
singing in Church, are out of place. But as
sumo the following premises to be generally ad-
mitted Singing may be made pleasing and
edlfying part of Sabbath religious exercises, or
1t may be of Il character most painful and disa-
greeable. But whether the singing exercise be
delightful or excruciating, every church goer is
obliged to take it as it comes. Wherever III
singing is done by church choirs, the congreg.-
ton praises God by proxy; and so long as it is
done by proxy, it should if possible be done
acceptably. A hymn devotionally sung by
choir of well trained voices, is admirably calcu.
ated TO DISPOSE the mind in suitable attitude
for the hearing of sermon On the other hand
half dozen screeching voises with unsui table
accompanyments, dispel the devotional feelings
of an audience, and unfit it for the enjoyment of
good discourse.
Congregational singing, is beyond question
the most devotional method of rendering praise
then if there be inhormonious voices, it does not
so annoy, because no one assumes to sing for his
neighbor' but each for himself choir sings
Tor whole congregation, and hence it is not
surprising or unfair, that 1t should be the sub
Ject OF criticism. Congregational singing puts
all on an equality-ail join as best they can, in
hymning the praises of God. The singing in
the churches of this city is perhaps, gene rally
we'll enough but to say that improvements are
not demanded an any, would be wholly prepos.

Pianos.-The march of improvement is no.
where, perhaps, more discernabIe than in the arr
of piano forte making. For ages this instru-
ment existed in the shape of the harp, Played
upon by master hands, it has come down to us
associated with all that is beautiful and passion
ate in romance or poetry. 1t is the only instru.
ment that imagination, dares to put into the
hands of those who sing in Paradise. But not.
wihstanding all that may be said in favor of the
ancient harp, more may be uttered in its praise,
when, with sounding board and keys attached,
it becomes piano forte. Under the touches OF
one who is master of its expression, it then be-
comes capable of rousing or subduing all the
emotional powers of the mind This may be
sal of common instruments but an od-style
piano Is to the best pianos, with the latest i'm.
provements, what the harp is to a Common
piano. Constant improvements are being
made. Among the most enterprisiug and best
piano makers in the United States, we NAV
mention the FIRM Of Boardman & GRAY, of A.
bany, N. Y. They have lately added what is
termed corrugated sounding-board to their
which adds one-half more surface
to the board and largely increases its power and
volume OF tone. They also make their instru-
ments william iron rim, winch is insulated from,
contract with the sounding board instead of be-
ing let into and screwed down to the wooden
frame as heretofore. This Improvement is said
to render the.tone of these instruments in power
aud sweetness, superior to almost all others

" it came as near perfec ion as any piano, OH
which he ever performed" Mary A. Aver, OF
this city, is agent for this firm. Those designing
to purchase would do well to call on her before
giving orders elsewhere.

Lake Forest.

new town by this name on the Lake Shore
some eight miles south of Waukegan, h as sprung
up within the past twelvelmonths. The place has
been chosen for the location of the University
under the patronage of the Presbyterian church
| New School, An association of gentlemen
have purchased 1850 acres of land, extending
over two miles along the shore of the Lake, and
little over half mile in7 width. Nearly the
whole OF this ground is covered with a heavy
growth of timber; the land plotted into streets.
lots, and parks the lots ranging in size from
one to ten acres. The parks are of liberal size;
one of them covered with magnificent oaks, ex-
tending along the shore of the Lake, over three.
quarters of mile.
The streets and lots are laid out on plan diff.
fering from any we have ever before seem
There is but one straight street on the whole
town plot that running parallel with the Lake
Shore; all the other streets are winding, and
intersect each other in various shaped angles
This plan of running the streets in such curva-
lures was suggested by the great number of "a
vines by which the grounds are penetrated. 1t
Is estimated there are over sscen miles ofravine
measuringl from twenty to sixty feet deep, on
the grounds which have been plotted these ra
vines are sinuous in their courses; winding in
all directions, and presenting great variety of
picturesque scenery. The bank at this point is
over eighty feet above the level of the Lake
being the highest point anywhere between Mil
waukee and Chicago.
The building of the University has not yet
been commenced it is, however, regarded as
an object of certain accomplishment soon one
gentleman of Chicago, (Mr. Lind,) has pledged
100000 for the purpose; besides there are 9TH
er reliable subscriptions and resources The
first building erected in the place, was about
one year ago most of the other buildings have
heen erected during the past six months. There
is now large hotel, large and neatly finished

pied one term with encouraging success, under

ing built and is expected to be in readiness for
scholars by the first of October next There are
also quite number of fine residences the pl ace
has already become one of popular resort for pic
MICS and parties of pleasure, on account of its
romantic scenery. The prices of lots are reas-
enable, being as yet estimated by the acre they
range from $2OO to $500 per acre. Lake For
est does not aspire to become business town;
its purpose is to build up superior educational
institutions, thus rendering it desirable resi-.
dence for those who have families to educate.
There will, doubtless, in few years, be gather
ed here large and intelligent population.

Harvesting The weather for harvesting has
been more favorable this season, than any past
season for many year. Wheat and Barley,
thus far, have been secured in exec lent condi-

long period of dry weather, there will very likely
follow a long period of wet weather Those who
have crops to gather in, should not presume too
