: br,cinp the eastern portion of Wisconsin, is
now in session in this city. Although the
session did not commence before Wednesday
of the present week, members of the Conference
began to arrive freely on Monday and Tuesday
for the purpose of being examined in the pre-"
scribed courses of study these are divided into
four divisions-those Of the first year, second
year, third year and fourth year. The studies
| in which examinations are had, are chiefly IN
such works as are regarded standard, IN the
Metbodist church. The second and fourth year
embrace the higher English, such as Rhetoric,
| I,ooic &c. None of the languages except the
Enolish are embraced in the course. The ex-
sminations during the present week, we UNI
derstand have been thorough.
The Conference was formally opened yesterday
"wednesday 10 A. M.-Blshop JAYNEs presi-
ding. There are embraced within the limits
of the Conference about one hundred and for
ty-fve ministers, who are the subjects ofap-
pointment to fields of labor by the Bishop of
this number probably about one hundred and
twenty-five were present at the opening Of the
Conference. Nest of yesterday, the first day
ofthe session, was consumed in the appoint
mentof the standing committees, and arranging
preliminaries for the business of the Confer

On Sabbath next, in addition to the services
in the Methodist church, there will be preach
ing at the regular hours of service in the Con-
Church, and in the Baptist Church |
in these churches will be furnished |
from the Conference.
There will also be preaching every evening |
during the session, in the Methodist church |
as it is probable these preaching services will
De conducted by the more prominent members
Of the ministerial profession, the citizens of
he town will doubtless avail themselves as far
IS practicable of the opportunity of hearing the
evening discourses. The appearance of the
Conference in session, is calculated to make a
avorable impression; the members bear the
Indication of earnestness, and an intelligent de-
-otion to their high calling,
a New Enterprise.-We understand that a
lew enterprise is in contemplation by some of our
business men, which if carried out, will be one of
Urinary Importance to the interests of Kenosha.
his is no less than the erection of a large first
lass FIGURING Mill. The project is already well
cost counted and the plans submit
ed.
The idea is to erect steam FIGURING Mill, near
he central business portion of the city, where it
7ill be convenient of access to farmers, and coI~
enient to the Railroad. The mill to be in all re-
poets First Glass establishment perfect in all ,
IS appointments, and capable ofmaking $50 bar !
els per day of fine Flour, and whose brand shall 1
tand at the very top of the market in all the east
m cities.
It is hardly necessary to say that such Mill !
7ould be constant, certain and unfailing source
profit TO its proprietors, Ewhile it could not fail
D be great advantage to our city. We don't
now of any branch of manufacturing that would s
end more directly and materially to benefit the Z
lace: It would at once enable us to compete
Nth any of the cities the lake, in the price of
he great staple of our farmers-wheat. The best
ampes of wheat raised in our county that invari-
bly, now, seek market in Racine or Milwaukee, t
would find sale here at even enhanced prices
or milling purposes. Our buyers instead of stor-
ng grain, would have it manufactured into flour, )
old and the money invested two or three times +
While they are now waiting for the shipping sea-
on. l
Even the supply of the home demand would be :
10 small item in the business of such mill. We
Bve not the figures at command, but there must
,e needed for home consumption several thousand r
arrels of Flour, which is now almost entirel i'm
orted. The rival Flour stores of foreign mills t
re on almost every corner. These would all be 9
one away with, and the thousands ofdollars now I
aid annually to enrich Racine and other millers,
'ould be kept in our own city.
We need not enter into any account of the ems 6
Ioyment such establishment would furnish TO =
undreds oflaborers, Transfers. coopers &c The t
manufacture of4 900 barrels offour annually, is
uggestive of the labor and raw material it would
Onsume.
When we say thatMr. E. G. DURANT, is thep "
ctor and main man in this new and important en- q
9rprse, people at that it is no visionary
,heme to be talked over and abandoned, but re-
and practical Improvement, soon to be realized
nd experienced. We are certain that such an en-
erprise will hsvethe best wishes and prayers of ev
Try resident of Kenosha.
