RFy Mr.. MILBURH A~GAIE.-TothoSe who heard
the recent discourse of this gifted man, the bare
announcement that he will lecture here again, on
Thursday and Friday evenings April 9th and 10th
will bring back vivid iecollections of the peculiar
power Of his mastery eloquence, which for the
time being, renders one .~iOrgetful Of all else exN
cept the words he is speaking, and just breath
enough to exist.
What a blind man saw in En- gland, would at
first seem a barren theme but after listening .wecome
to the conclusion that the blind man not only had
an eye for the beautiful sunshine OF the soul, III
sober as well as mirthful moods, but has that
which is much more rare, the power to bring 1t
away with him, and fold it intensified and glow
ing with q few strokes of his wonderful gsnious
in sketching and describing his subject. One mo
ment racking your sides with laughter the next
carrying you away breathless, wrapped in the
lspells of his eloquence.
| In the second lecture, Aaron Burr" how clear
and definite he sketched his career, and brought
him up, step by step, to the highest pinical of his
fame, where we seemed to see him on the slippery
height sliding sliding towards that abysmal gulf"
into which he finally plunged. Then with a few
equally as skilful strokes of his fancy's pencil
hamilton. the Statesman stands before you, grand
and lofty as a mountain, that God hath made
Thursday evenings lecture will be more ofswhat
a blind man saw in England or Roast B eef and
Plumb Pudding" Let no one fail to hear the
lecture, for be assured there will be a bountiful
sprinkling of plums gems rather in it. Friday

Words of WisdOm.-Th season for ploughS
ing is at hand and farmers are beginning to look
over their old plows and other implements to see
whether they can be made to last another season.
As a general thing, crops bear a direct proportion
to the cultivation of the soil. This can only be
done by the right kind of implements. Better get
a bright new plow than to be mussring your fields
over with an cid rusty concern that will not turn
q furrow. Our friends PETER WooD aud DENNIS
KEARNEY, as most of our readers know, are both
manufacturing premium Flows, at the lowest pos.
sible prices. We refer our readers to their adver-
tisements in this paper.
Closing the Term.-On Friday April 1O;h, will
close the winter term of the Public Schools. In addition
to the usual rhetorical exercises, each department OF
every school in the city will be represented by either
singing or defamation at the Hight Schoolroom.

The Weather, For a week or ten days past has
been favorable for getting in the early spring crops.
The farmers of Kenosha county have net been back
ward in impr owing it, We have heard it estimated
that at least half OF the wheat crop of the county was
sown last week, and the balance is about finished ere
this.
Some -four farmers informed us last week that the
ground was then in better condition for cultivation
than on the first of May, last year. We are happy to
to note these good signs for the coming crops. We hope
these anticipations of a favorable season willbe more
than realized by our farmers. As a comparison with
last year, we may state that last year we chronicled on
the 10th of April, a snow storm, when the snow fell to
the depth of 6 inches.
