razor Only few such arguments will more
than half convince one of the reality of Animal
Magnetism, the wonderful cures said to be eff.
fected by laying on Of hands, and many other
like wonders. We are led to these reflections
by the repeated luxury Of being shaved by
Messrs. Paulfranz Rudolf, at their convenient
Saloon one door East of the Planters Hotel.
We suspect these gentlemen possess great mes
meric power, and recommend our readers to try
the effect of their mode of treatment of a long

I'll we took dish of Ice Cream at Brooks
Either our palate has improved or no such ar
tlele ever came in our way before, probably the
latter. While siping the nectar we wondered the
saloon was not crowded, having in our enjoyment
forgotten it was early and sure enough, in few
moments the place was thronged with happy
young gents and ladies, and Brook never looked
more smiling than when making others happy.
Inc wise man was right in saying, '' 1t is good

Dor" The fruits found at this establishment
are infinitely superior to apothecary pills, and
1t is vastly better to reuent fever by the timely
use of the former, than to cure it by the use of
the latter therefore buy and eat Brooks early

Pac-Nic Eacrsion.-Happening acct
dentaliy to be in Oconomowoc on Monday last,
we found that pleasant and usually quiet vii
lage in a state of great excitement; the Milwau-
kee Light Guard, together with a large num-
Der of the citizens of that city having come out
that morning for the purpose of spending the
day there and having, as some of them express
ed it, 8 gay old time" We think they had
it, for everybody seemed to be brim full and
running over with enjoyment, while some of
the gentlemen We thought were tolerably full of
something else of more liquid nature The
day was spent in dancing, sailing on the lake.
fishing, and in a variety of ways, according to
the individual tastes of the persons present.
One of the most interesting features of the occa-
sion, was the target shoot which occupied con-
siderable time and showed q good degree of
skill on the part Of some members of the Light
Guard with their g shooting irons" Corporal
VIM. Starkweather carried off the prize
At about nine o'clock the company left for
home, and as that model and gentlemaply Con-
duetor, Hub. Atkins was in charge of the train,
of course everything passed off in admirable
order and we were not long in reaching Mil
waukee Though that was not, by any means,
our most direct route home, we could not re-
sist the temptation to go with the crowd to its
| destination, which we did.
Notice to Cane Grouers attention
of those of our readers who are engaged in
raising Sorghum, has ere this, doubtless. been
attracted by the advertisement in this paper,
of the Rotary, Alternating Sugar Evapora-
tor" We have never seen this Evaporation in
| operation, but we have seen q working model
OF 1t, and what is better still, we have seen and
eaten, nice, clean, Gght-colored sugar, made
by it from the juice of the Sorghum This su-
| gar is as good as the ordinary brown sugar
sold for ten cents, and is far better, as regards
color, flavor and dryness, than any New Or
| leans sugar we ever SAW. 1t is an excellent
article, quite good enough for use in anybody's
family Ifsuch sugar as this can be made
from the Sorghum, and we believe it can be,
with little trouble, cane-raising will turn out
| immensely profitable at the North
This Evaporator is simple, convenient and
cheap. There is no danger of scorching the
syrup, II proper attention be paid to the boiling,
as 1t can be removed from the fire in an instant;
and the process of evaporation, owing to the
shape of the pan, is very rapid. We are of the
opinion that this will prove to be the best and
cheapest continuance for making sugar from the
Sorghum, yet introduced : in fact, it is, claim
ed that it is the only one by which sugar can
invariably be made from the juice of this cane.
As such we commend it to all. Applications
should be addressed to W. C. Bartlett, White
water, Wis., who will cheerfully give all desired
information - Whitewater wis. Register.
How about Prices.-Anything that tends
to throw the least light upon the question as to
what the prospects are in regard to prices of
produce this fall is of deep interest to us all at
the present moment. We therefore extract the
following from an article that appeared in the
London Dispatch of the Goth of June, which
will give pretty definite idea as to how mat
tiers were in England at that time Reports of a
later date are eonhrmatory of the same general
! gloomy appearance and backwardness of the
crops. The Dispatch says: 1t has rained as
II the Deluge were again come upon us. and
forty days and nights "the windows of heaven
were opened" The temperature has been
colder than Christmas. In 1859 the wheat in
the field before our door was in ear on the 5th
of May ; in 1860 there is no such phenomenon on
the 23d of June. In 1858, our neighbor, the far
mer, had cut and gathered his whole cereal crops
by the 31st of July in 1860, when will that
feat be accomplished Much was expected
from the new moon. Our neighbor, Professor
Farady, was eagerly quoted prophesying
| smooth things from the q inconstant moon
that changes by the month" But the rain came
heavier at the very moment the metemphsycho-
sis was supposed to be effected, and although
others who predicted better weather from the
" turn " of the night, appear to have made
more lucky guess, it must be remembered that
we are now approaching the month wherein the
guage exhibits greater rain fall than in any
other.
Wheat and winter oats have already been
ploughed up to great extent on the clay
lands and in the north the crops are at stand
still or even going back. Potatoes, too, are re-
ported as having scarcely ANYTHING at their roots
