Rassed scissol Concert.

The Ragged School, Ike the Bethel SUNDAY
schooI.ahd the Industrial SCHOOL, ono of the
Institutions of Cleveland-One in which the
good people take fostering interest without
much regard to denOminatiOnal differences
The scholars, some $50 in number, are gather
ed in from all quarters where those who 60 about
doing good can find them, and very many OF
these "children of society" find their condition,
mental, moral, and physical, much benefited by
the ministrations of the charitable men and
women who sacrifice their own ease and COM
fort with most commendable disinterestedness'
to make better and happier the less favored lot
of others. All such have their reward.
The Winter months are ever the hardest IN
the ennals of the poor, and they are especially
SO in seasons of depression in business when
the arm of industry is paralyzed by lack OF en-
ployment. In such times parental industry
economy, and sslf-denial are often taxed to the
utmost to furnish comfortable food and clothing
for the "pOor mans blessings" and not untre-
quently sickness or misfortune step in to weigh
down still more heavily the sinking hearts OF
parents and children.
At this mid winter period the appeal to the
charitable in behalf of the Cleveland Ragged
School must not pass unheeded. The generous
Musical Artists of our City have stepped for
ward with spirit worthy of the profession and
arranged Concert this evening for the benefit
of the School, and the MelodeOn should not only
be crowded to enjoy the rare musical treat they
will furnish for the occasion, but extra tickets
should be purchased to aid SO good cause
The funds raised viii pass into judicious hands,
and will be well appropriated by the almoners
of the Ragged School. We add the names of
our musical friends who have volunteered their
services, for they deserve place on the Roll of
Honor. They are the American Quadrille
Band; Prof T. Mann, Messrs. H. G. Bird, G.
G. Dickinson, VIM. B. Hall, Albert Barnitz,
Ossian E. Dodge, J. NJ Leland, Master Frank
S.edman, Warren P. Edgerton, Miss Libbie
Higgins, and Miss Charlotte a. Smith.

nenonulntion OF Missouri.

The State of Missouri is losing its popula-
ton by droves, and yet the st. Louis Democrat
reioices in the fact The truth is the COM
merce in blacks between that State and the
South is rapidly on the increase, as with free
Illinois, Iowa and Kansas on three sides, and
such God .forsaken slave region as Arkansas
on the other, the peculiar institution" Is too
hedged in to flourish except by sale and trans
fer. A late Democrat notices the departure of
one lot of 90 adults, purchased by Mr.. Gwin,
of Vicksburg, at an average of $1,000 per head
and in this connection the same paper remarks
There is no true friend of the State who will
not be grati6ed by the fact that the slaves OF
Missouri are rapidly finding purchasers who
take them out of the state, and leave in their
stead thousands of good dollars, enabling their
former owners to pay for the labor of white
men in ting the ground and raising the rich
crops which our farms are capable of producing
under labor intellectually directed. The South
is doing good work for Missouri.

CoLuMBus FASHIONS Child desertiOn and
wife beating appear to be the prevailing pas
times in the Capital City. As often as about
once a week, according to the papers, some
bOdy's child is left in basket or swaddling
clothes on somebody's doorstep, and the States
man of Wednesday says;
1t is really astonishing to what an extent the
mean and beggarly practice of wife beating is
carried nowadays. Yesterday there was no
less than six cases of the worst kind of wife
beating came TO our knowledge, in several of
which the husband not only knocked down
the wife, but kicked her into the street and
tumbled the children out after her. The Justice
offices sre continually besieged by these unfor-
tunates, but In most instances they can get no
satisfaction from the Justices, who are almost
powerless in the matter.
This is another and conclusive reason for
biennial sessions of the Legislature, especially
when Democratic

Little Lake is finished, and can now board
her rogues at home. The Painesville Telegraph
exults that aihe new Jail is done" 1t has eight

sending convicts out of the county for 'bed and

SORGHUM sugar and syrup.

The experiments Of the past two seasons nave
established the fact that the Chinese Sugar
Cane can be prOftably cultivated in all the Corn
growing sections of the country, and that SOT-
Chum Syrup, at all events, will hereafter be moIe
or less manufactured in nearly every neighbor-
hood. That the Syrup will eventually take the
place of Southern molasses il the West to con-
siderable extent, no longer admits of doubt =
The quantity obtained per acre, the ease with
which the Sorghum is cultivated, its certainty
of growth, and the facility with which Paiatable
Syrup can be made, have demonstrated its util-
ity and profit as part of good husbandry.-
CouId the correct statistics of the Sorghum crop
in the country the past season be obtained, the
results in the infancy of its culture would excite
marvel
The State Agricultural Society of Illinois has
been foremost in fostering the Chinese Sugar
Cane culture. Its Board offered liberal premi-
ums for sugar and syrup from the Sorghum, the
sugar specimens not less than fifty pounds
Awsrds were recently made, and DR.. c, B. Os-
trander, Of Pontiac, Livingston county, received
the first premium for sugar. 1t was equal to
second quality of New Orleans, and had very
mach the appearance and TASTE OF the new crop
sugar. His success establishes the fact that
good sugar can be made from this cane. Two
other specimens were entered, one by J. Saw
yer, of Tazewell county, and the other by E.
Paine, of Sangamon. The grains were coarse,
and clammy with undrained molasses.
The first premium for sugar from lmPhee-
so pounds, was taken by Mrs. H II. Tracy
Cutler, of Dwight, Grundy county, the only
competitor The sample had coarse grains
with rather sharp, unpleasant acid, and was
badly drained. -2a
There were numerous competitors for the pre-
miums for Syrup, some of the specimens being
clear and of an excellent quality. Mr.. Var
Houton, of Edgar county, received the firs'
premium. Several specimens were only o.
the ordinary quality, but the correspondent o.
the Chicago Press writes that that the mos
common quality is superior to molasses fol
. cooking After witnessing the exhibition ht
says-"We believe that in nearly every cast
where the cane has been tried in this State, !
has given good satisfaction, and next year We
may look forward to see its culture extended
not in large felis, but in small Onee of five t.
twenty acres" The writer has no doubt OF lh'
,.prOftableness of the crop for Syrup, but hai
only slight faith in its profit for sugar.

The Puraguny Trouble.


The Washington correspondent of the Louis
vile Democrat, tells a good story at the expense
of the Paraguay expedition and its managers
He says:
The Paraguay fleet has been heard from. Con-
sidering the character of the old propellers COM
posing it, and the rough weather they encoun-
tered, their arrival at Montevideo may be taken
as an omen of succe IS. A story concerning the
Paraguay expedition is current here. 1t Is as
follows:
The Hon. John s. Pendleton, better known
as Jack Pendleton, late Minister to South Amer
lea, was sent for by one of the high officials of
the Government, for the purpose of consulting
him in reference to Paraguay, its foItitcatiyns
and defenses, as well as to the general character
of the people but Inore particularly as u rfesi-
dent Lopez After answering the general ques-
tions put to him, he was asked, "What do you
think of the success of our expedition" He an
swered that he thought the Paraguayans would
stand On the high banks of the river and lasso
every man on the vessels, commencing with old
Commodore Shubrick. He was then asked If
the superior diplomatic ability of Commissioner
BowIin would not enable him to pull the wool
over the eyes of Lopez. His answer was, that
Lopez had more tact, cunning, and diplomacy
in one minute, than Jim BOwlin ever thought OF
in his life The official, thinking to gain more
accurate information of the ability of Lopez by
hearing something of his personal appearance,
asked, "What kind of a looking man is he -
Pendleton replied that he looked precisely like
old Jim Buchanan would look if he were to
swallow Dug Wallach, the editor of the Star
Wallach looks very much like Capt. Diller, your
wharfmaster That description satisfied the Of
fetal that Lopez would, at least, present for

BUSINESS IN ELYRIA.-Mr. o. Bowen, the
gentlemanly Agent of the c. & T. Railroad at
this place, has furnished us with q statement of
the amount of business done in this village,
since the first of March, 1858, as appears by
the Books in his Office.
The total amount of freight received during
the ten months, is 1876, $40 lbs, equal to a
fraction more than 1888 tons. On this freight
thera has been paid the sum of SlO.39l 81 for
transportation. In addition to this, we are in
formed by Messrs Bald win, Laundon Nelson,
that they have received forty tons by way of
Black River.
During the same period there have been for
warded from this Station 3,s00,496 lbs. of
freight, equal to more than 1900 tons; on
which the Cleveland d Toledo Railroad reeeiv-
the sum Of S3,2l7 90 for transportation l83
tons of the above freight was Butter.
Messrs Starr Bros. & Co. inform Us that their
house has received fraction over ASS tons Of
freight, and has shipped I074 tons Of Butter
alone.
If any town in the country the size of Elyria
can boast of better record of business, we
would like to see the figures. This, be it re-
membered, is only the Railroad business of Ely
ria. and when the domestic business is added,
the figures will challenge competition.-EiyriG

HIGH WATER-It is believed that the water
of Lake Erie was never higher than at present.
Many acres of land near our hsrbor which have
borne large crops, and upon which grew heavy
timber, are now totally and perhaps irrecOvera-
bly, submerged Andby the action of the waves
upon the banks, the water is wearing away the
higher land at a fearful rate. MIR. Jonathan
Gilbert informs US that the water has encroach-
ed upon and thus destroyed more than thirty
acres of his land within the past thirty years.
The complaint is general along the Like shore.
Various causes are are assigned for this; many
believe it to be the back. water caused by the
Black Rock Dam on the Niagara River, and Pc
titions are in circulation, asking of the Legisla-
lures of Ohio and Pennsylvania the passage of
memorial to Congress for an appropriation to
pay the expense of "a survey of Niagara River
to determine the cause-Co ConReaut Reporter.
