Thanksgiving.

Agreeable to a time honored custom,
to day Thursday, the 10Th Of Now has
been designated by the Governor of this
State, to be observed as day of public
acknowledgement to the giver of all
good, for the mercies of the past year.
An appropriate observance of the day,
such as was originally contemplated by
our New England forefathers, is beft-
ting professedly Christian people.
While it is proper that the day should
be observed by devout thankfulness for
the mercies of the past, and prayer for
the continuance of divine favor for the
future, it is also an appropriate time for
the revival of old friendships, for the
renewal of acquaintance, and a genes
rous flow of hospitality in all commune
ties.
If there is family any where, who,
from adversely, are without the cons
forts and necessaries of life, this is a fit
day to remember such with substantial
tokens of good. Simply remembering
the poor in our public prayers to con-
tent ourselves by saying "be we warm
ed" and " be we clothed" is hypocriti-
cal. Public or private prayer alone
will not, in this age of the world, feed
the poor, clothe the naked, or warm the
habitations of poverty. We once heard
a Thanksgiving sermon not thousand
miles off, in which the preacher indulg
ed in advice to his audience something
as follows -" Brethren, after you have
surrounded your bountifully spread ia
bles and satisfied yourselves with the
good things of this world, do not FORGE
to pray for the poor" How many
families were made glad through the
instrumentality of such prayer. is moi
recorded. Faith and works are insep
arabic. We are commanded not only
to be hearers, but doors. To do good
to lift up the trodden down, and t.
relieve the wants of humanity, is the
true mission of the believer in the Chris
tianity of the Bible.

Injunction.

The Injunction which was obtained
last winter, restraining the collection of
tax levied in this city to pay scrip
issued for Railroad purposes, has been
sustained by the Supreme Court We
have not seen the decision and there
fore cannot speak of the grounds upon
which the tax was held illegal
Some of the facts in reference to the
scrip for which the tax was levied, we
understand to be these: Scrip to the
amount of &c., 900 had been issued by
the city, in payment of stock which the
city had taken in the Kenosha 81 Rock
ford Railroad. This scrip was disposed
of by the Railroad Co., to individuals,
tor cash, also for labor and material in
the construction of the Road. The
Common Council in 1859 levied a tax
for the redemption of one third of the
scrip issued (S22,0OO j the balance was
intended to be raised by tax in 1860
and 1861. This tax is held by the
Court to be illegal.
A large amount ofthe above mention
ed scrip was purchased by individuals
with the view of aiding the Railroc
Company to go on with the work.
Justice would certainly require tina
those who have paid in good faith fOl
this scrip should not be sufferers.

Lecture on Monday Evening.

The lecture on Monday evening last,
by B. f. Taylor, of Chicago, met the
highest expectations of all who went to
hear. Such succession of beautiful
thoughts, expressed in choice words
wrought into fine similes--draped in
exquisite imagery, ARE only rarely heard
from the platform, pulpit or elsewhere.
Mr.. Taylor has won the reputation of a
lecturer of much acceptability, and is
generally regarded as favorite among
our western literary Associations.
There was one draw back, however,
on the occasion of Monday evening; il
was the smallness of the audience. Ii
excites unpleasant sensations to hear q
good lecture dispensed where there are
an abundance of empty benches. W.
do not mean to say that the people o
this city are not appreciative--tha they
do not properly value good lectures
The citizens of this place have in pas
years sustained lectures as literally al
any other place in the west, in proper
ton to population. We trust the seem
indifference, which now pervades tn
majority of those who have heretofor
patronized these intellectual entertain
ments, will be removed before the mex
lecture shall occur. Rev. Mr.. Corning
of Milwaukee, is the next lecturer on II
list.

Madison Mutual Insurance Co.

DIR. SAMUEL r. MCCLELLAN is the
Agent of the Madison Mutual Insurance
Co. for Kenosha Co. He has been do
ing quite an extensive insurance bust
ness in this county for the Company
From our knowledge of the Manager
Of the Madison Company, we are pre-
pared to say that no mutual insurance
in the west is in more judicious and safe
hands. The Company have always
paid their losses with promptness, while
the assessments during a number of
years past have been unusually light.
Now is the time to get insured; every
farmer should have his buildings insur-
ed no small investment can be more
timely and judicious. Accidents from
fire often occur where great vigilance
and precaution are exercised. Insu>
rance on the mutual plan is found from
experience to be the most economical,
especially for country dwellings-pro
vided always, that the Company in
which the risk is taken is we'll manag
ed one. Such Company the Madison
Mutual has proved itself to be. DR.
Mcclellan takes risks in cities, only on
buildings entirely detached and situated
in isolated positions.
We could occupy large space in
our paper by publishing the commenda-
tions which this Company has received
from the press in various parts of the
State, but deem it unnecessary.

ITO the Editor ofthe Kenosha Telegraph
Precautions Against Fire.

DEAR SIR;
When / read your notice of the
fire in your city last week, / was
sorry you did not take advantage of the
opportunity, to inform your readers of
the danger of putting hot embers or
ashes with any fire in them, into bar
rel, box or pile of cold dry ashes, that are
in connection with any combustible ma
terial. as cold dry ashes will burn over
and become perfect mass of fire and
set on fire any combustible material that
contains them.
Many school houses, many churches
and more dwelling houses have been
burned, not to say through the careless
ness but through the ignorance of COM
munity on this subject. Ipresume that
a great majority of the heads of families
would think it incredible that cold dry
ashes will ignite on the introduction of
fire to them they will slowly become a
complete mass of fire, and set on fire
the barrel or box that contains them.
You state in this case no ashes had
been emptied into the box for 48 hours
previous to the fire, and it does not
seem possible for the fire to have taken
from them. The fire might have been
burning week or more if the box was
large one, before arriving at the wood
that boxed them up. Ashes do not fire
up hastily but very slowly.
l wish you would publish something
in your paper on this subject, that the
readers of your paper may all know the
danger of putting hot ashes on cold dry
ashes that are in connection with any
combustible material, and community
become so well acquainted On this SUBJ
ject as to be safe from fires from this
source.

Constipation or Costiveness:

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to- is
prevalent, SO little understood so much NEGLECT
as Costivenes:. Often originating in careless

while in reality it is the precursor and compani
of many of the most fatal and dangerous diseas

ferer to an untimey grave, Among the light
evils of which Costiveness is the usual attenda
are Headache, Collie Rheumatism, EFoul Breat
Piles and others of likesnature while long ira
of frightful diseases, such as Malignant Fevers A
cesses, Dysentery, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Epileps

and Insanity, first indicate their presence in IL
system by this alarming symptom. Not unfr
quently the diseases named originatedin Constip
ton, but take on an independent existence unle
the cause is eradicated in an early stage. Fro
these considerations it follows that the disord
should receive immediate attention whenever
occurs, and no person should neglect to get be
of Cephalic Pills on the first appearance of tn
complaint, as their timely use will expel the insi
uous approaches of disease and destroy this da
gerous foe to human life.

Board of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors adjourned on Sat-
urday morning last Among the principal mat
tiers of business transacted we're the following;
The tax levied for the support of schools in
the county iwas and three Jourths mills on the
dollar, amounting in the aggregate to $6,953 OIL.
Last year there was levied two mills for the
support of schools, but the valuation of the coun
ty being larger this year, gives US the same a
mount for school purposes as heretofore. The
amount Of state, county and school tax levied on
the city and several towns is as follows:

TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SAyED-Mr
Spadng has sold two millions of bottles of his eel.
ebrated Prepared Glue, and it is estimated that
each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of bro
ken furniture, thus making an aggregate of ten
millions of dollars reclaimed from total loss by this
valuable invention. Having made his Glue a
household word, he now proposes to do the world
still greater service by curing all the aching heads
with his Cephalic Pills, and if they are as good as
his Glue Headaches will soon vanish away like
snow in July.

DIP you ever have the ScK Headache? Do you
remember the throbbing temples, the fevered brow,
the loathing and disgust at the sight of food How
totally unfit you are for pleasure conversation or
study. One of the Cephalc Pills would have re-

experienced, For this and other purposes you
should always have box of them on hand to use
as occasion requires.
