Wool Growers Neeting.-By reference
to the notice we publish in another column, it
will be seen that the Wool Growers OF this Coun-
ty are to hold meeting at Agricultural Hall Oh
Saturday the 18th day of January next The
Importance ot this subject is fully felt by the
farmers of our county, and we presume there
will be q full attendance.
In view of the fact that it is almost settled
fact that W. are TO have an extensive Wooden
Factory established in this city that will work
up all the wool grown in the county, the ques-
ton of Wool Growing becomes one OF still great
or moment. That will be a moro profitable
branch of the farmers occupation, when such
q home demand shall have been created for all
that possibly be produced, and therefore
will command more consideration and more
practical information as to the best stock and
best manner Of raising sheep than W. now have
We understand that the matter of investment
in the capital stock of the Wooden Factory by
the Wool Growers and farmers will be taken
into consideration, and that the enterprise will
meet with material encouragement.

A The nksxivinE DinSer.-A few APP
precis;ive friends sat down to an osd-fashioned
Thanksgiving Dinner, gotten up by our "An-
cient" friend, sometimes called "Old Phelps"
tor Short, on the 9TH ar his Metropolitan Eating
Rooms. 1t ia hardly necessary to say that it
was a dinner worthy the host and the
occasion. and served, as only the can
cient" can serve such things. The first course
was, (of courFe) the old fashion cd spare rib, mot
one Of those extremely spare things, however,
that is al bone and no meat, roasted Jrtore a
blazing fire and basted as of old And then
came the inevitable Turkey--and such a turkey
roasted to a turn, and with liberal amount
af stuffing mot dressing mind YOU that would
have done credit to our revolutionary grand
m lest days. And then the old fashioned Chick
en- Pie, that is no kith nor kin to the modern
thing that goes by that name. All these of
course were seasoned with the customary vege
ables, prepared after the most approved style
of our Grandmothers. But the glory of the oc-
after all was the last course---reaI New England
Pumpkin pie, made from one of those prize
pumpkins that weighed a little less than cwt.
And those Mince Pies that came in so oppor-
timely, and the mug of mued cider IT'S wei,
hat such Thanksgiving comes but once year
or we might be troubled with the govt though
it is by no means family failing. Phelps says
he knows of hooks among those ever Green
Mountains, where they get up better Thanks

His judgment is evidently warped by linger-
ing fondness and Partially he still has for the
nook where he wss born. Where the sun came

Horrible Disaster.-Last Saturda y
evening one OF those appalling disasters, those
fearful and unaccountable catastrophes that
send thrill of horror to the heart, occurred
about mile south of this city. We .eier to
the burning of A. Marsh. The particulars are
as follows, sn far az we could learn from the e1-
cited individuals WAC witnessed the fearful sight.
About seven o'clock in the evening the people
living in that vicinity were started by the cry
Of fire. They rushed forth from their homes
and hurried to the spot, but alas, they arrived
too late; the flames had spread with frightful
rapidity ard human aid was of no avail; no
help could they extend to the victim who was
being consumed before their very eyes Sick
st heart they stood gazing upon the awful sight;
almost bereft ofreason they stood spell-bound,
rooted to the spot, until the flames bad done
their work. All that could be done then was to
take up the charred and biackened remains---sil
that was left of the once beautiful Marsh.
2. S.---Since writing the above we have been
informed that it was not A. Marsh that WAS
burned but hay stack.
We take the above from the Racine Journal,
and will only add that the "horrible disaster
caused quite commotiOn in our city. The fire
was so plain here that the fire bells rang the
alarm, and there were serious thoughts ofstart
ing the engines for Racine, on the strength of a
rumored telegraphic dispatch that large fire
was raging in that city.

The Concert given by st. Johns Choir OF
Chicago, at Simmons Hall on Thursday evening
last, was grand affair. We must confess to an
agreeable surprise. Our people are so often
humbugged that it is refreshing to have the
privilege of occasionally listening to really fine
music. The choir was assisted on this occasi,
by Miss A. z. OFarrel, young lady former
resident of Chicago but who has lately taken
up her residence among us. The concert was
under direction of MR.. w. N. SMITH leader OF
st. Johns Choir. The programme sparkled
rich and sparkling selections from Opera
beautiful Ballads, funny songs, &c. Sc. render
90 in style seldom if ever excelled
Where all was so good it is hard to particu-
larize; we hardly know which to admire most
Miss Clark's fine soprano, Miss Daviss rich
alto, Mr.. Premises robust tenor, or Mr. Smiths
magnificent basso. 1t ia seldom that four such
voices get together. Our space will not allow
OF more than passing notice of the really fine
selections on the programme. Among those
that struck us favorably were the opening Solo
a quartette, Remember oh Lord which was
sung in such style as to assure the audience thet
lucy "oA0 w nave all evening OF unallOyed en-
Ijoymsnt MIR. Smith sang the song "Rocked il
Cradle of the Deep in a manher that gave rs
an idea OF the great range # his splendid voice.
Miss Clark sang the Rover" a song that
| brought out the excellences of her voice and
showed execution rarely if ever attained by en-
amateur. Miss Davis sang Waliace's beautiful
"Cradie Song" oh 80 sweetly--so dreamlly it
recalled the sweet innocence of childhood, q
mothers tenderness, the sweet lullaby of infan-
cy. We would that every young man and We
man in kenOsha could have heard that song
Mr.. Premises song, ''i'he Holy Frlar," was
well sung and called forth hearty app ause, bu
we should have preferred selection that woulo
have brought out the fine powers in his voice
which are very fine especially in the upper reg
lister. Miss O'Farrel sang with much spirit and
feeling the Italian song, LA Fatalats," which
secured an encore when she gave US 'Comiug
through the Rye" which brought down the
house with rounds of applause, and when she
sung the song Come Home Father, there was
scarcely dry eye in the house. On the Who'll 9,
it was an evening long to be remembered in
Ksnosha; we Gully regret that the house vas not
crowded which We believe will be the case,
should ST. Johns Choir visit us again

The Bible.

Viewed merely as a literary pro-
duction, the Bible is q marvellous
book, and without q rival. All the
libraries of theology, philosophy, his
tory, antiquities, poetry, law and pol
icy would not furnish material enough
for so rich q treasure of the choicest
gems Of human genius, wisdom and
experience. 1t embraces works Of
about forty authors, representing the
extremes of society, from the throne
of the King to the boat of the fisher
man; it was written during long
period Of sixteen centuries, on the
banks Of the Nile, in the desert Of
Arabia, in the land Of promise, in
Asia Minor, in classical Greece, and
in imperial Rome. 1t commences
with the creation, and ends with the
final glorifcation, after describing all
tho intervening stages in tho revela-
ton of God, and the spiritual devel-
opment of man; it uses oh forms of
literary composition; it rises to the
highest nights, and descends to the
lowest depths of humanity it meas
ures all states and conditions Of life I;
it is acquainted with every grief and
every woe; it touches every cord of
sympathy; it contains the spiritual
biography of every human heart; it
is suited to every class of society, and
can be read with the same interest and
profit by the king and the beggar, by
the Philosopher and the child; it is
as universal as the race, and reaches
beyond the limits of time, into the
boundless regions Of eternity.
