To morrow evening our citizens will again
have an opportunity of hearing this talented
and versatile gentleman in some ofhis master
selections.
Although indisposed the evening of his for
mer appearance, he gave us the best literary
entertainment ever offered to our citizens
Although Prof Lyman's forte is in the heavy
dramatic renditions, requiring the closest
study and greatest natural genius to develope.
yet he seems equally at home in the other ex-
IRENE of side splitting, comic deliniations of
character. He identifies himself with what
ever he attempts. His eyes, gestures, attitudes
and expressions of face say as much to his au-
dience as his voice-which possesses more
power purity and compass than any speaker
we have ever heard. The objection so com
monty urged against Evolutionary Entertain
ments, that they are 'dry readings" does not
apply to Prof Lyman's efforts. He does not
read-but recttes, giving fine play to the prompt
| ings of his soul, and addresses every proper
taste before him, changing from grave to
gay, from lively to severe with remarkable
ease and effect We expect to see Simmons
Hall packed with an appreciative audience on
this occasion.

Poe's Bells-Friday Night.
A Chapter on Kenosha.

A correspondent of the Chicago Journal of
Tuesday last, devotes couple of columns to
writing up'' Kenosha. 1t is not to be Won
dered at, that stranger writing such an arti-
Gle should make some mistakes, we can there
fore easily overlook the mistakes that have
crept into this chapter, and attribute them to
the head and not to the heart of the writer
Speaking of our educational matters the wri-
ter says there are tw o large union school
houses, one on the south side and one on the
north side' We have two large brick school
houses, with all the modern improvements, on
the south side, besides the large frame school
building, on the north side.
The Journal says 'the Principal of the
schools is George S. Abbott The Principal of
the High School, is Mr.. G. S. ALBEE.
In speaking Of the manufactures, no mention
is made of the wagon mandatory Of Ed
Balm the oldest and most extensive establish
ment of the kind in the city. There are seve-
raj other similar omissions and mistakes, all
incident we presume to the hurry in writing
letter for the press. On the whole the cores
pondent gives very fair account of Kenosha
and its business.

The Best Wsy to Make Coffee,


Coffee may be prepared in three different
manners, either by filtration by infusion, or
by decoction. Infusion, according to Lie
big, produces, though not often the
case, good coffee. When the operation is
badly performed, viz when the boiling wa
ter is poured slowly upon the powdered cot
fee, the drops become impregnated with a
large quantity of air oxygen having by this
sufficient time to dilute the aromatic quail
tiles, and even destroy them entirely. 1t is
therefore, necessary in such case, to make
use of an ar-tight vessel. By filtration the
water dissolves but 7 to 10 per cent. of mat
ter instead of 20 to 81 per cent. of the berry,
and the loss consequently rises from 10 to l 3
per cent.
The infusion is produced by boiling wa
ter, and throwing into it coffee which has
been ground, Immediately removing the
vessel containing it from the fire and allow
ing it to settle for five or six minutes This
method gives light colored but very aro-
matte coffee. Decoction. This manner is
principally used in the East. 1t produces
according to Liebig, an exquisite beverage
The pulverized coffee is thrown into cold
water, and the whole is placed upon the fire
until it begins to boil. The coffee which
floats at the top is then drank with the pre-
pared liquid. Many persons certainly would
not like to see their cup filled with the
brown deposit Of the powdered coffee; we,
{ therefore prefer the following method, which
is at the same time an infusion and decoc-
ton: Take the same proportion of coffee
and water as you are accustomed to use,
and, which depends entirely upon the taste
of the consumer, but fifteen grains of coffee
will produce two cups of moderate strength.
The berries ought to be ground just before
being used Divide the powdered coffee
into four parts then throw about three parts
of it into cold water, and let it boil for ten
minutes then throw in the small remaining
quantity, and raise it Immediately from the
fire, cover it and allow it to settle for about
fifteen minutes, when it will be ready for
use. The liquid may be quickly strained
through muslin, if the small quantity of
powder floating at the top is objected to-
Coffee thus prepared ought to be of bright
brown color, but not black 1t is always
thick, like chocolate, when mixed with wa
ter. The thickness of the liquid does not
proceed from the small quantity of coffee
which floats at the top, but from fatty
matter analogous to butter, Of which pow
dered coffee contains about twelve per cent.
of its weight. This is the best method OF
obtaining aromatic coffee. Experimental
lists sometimes do not succeed, but they may
be certain that they will not fail in proving
the truth of Baron Liebig's assertions. IN.

Internal ReYenue Apneals,

themselves aggrieyed in their assessments for the
Internal Revenue tax TO the advertisement ofthe
Assessor of this District appointing the goth inst,

not greatly mistaken there will be fewer appeals
from Kenosha Co. than from any other portion Of

Our Go, Agricultural Society.

Our Go. Agricultural Society.
No citizen of Kenosha county or city, who
has the good of both county and city at heart,
will forget even at this early day that an ex-
ira effort is to be made the coming fall to get
up an exhibition at the next annual Fair of
the society that shall surpass anything ever
before attempted in the county. The efforts
of the society will be ably seconded by its of
ficers, who will leave nothing undone on their
part, not only to secure grand exhibition OF
the products-agricultural horticultural, me-
chanical and artistic-of the county, but also
ensure perfect fairness and equality to all ex-
hibitors
The executive committee, we understand,
have determined upon the first week in Octo-
Der, or about that period, as the time for hold
ing the Annual Fair Those intending to COM
pete for premiums for field crops, should enter
their farms at the next quarterly meeting, to
be held in June.
Free competition is allowed, and our neigh
bors of Racine, Walworth and Lake counties,
are invited to bring their stock, their products
or their manufactures, and take such premi-
ums as may be awarded them. The premiums
are large and the list is very comprehensive.

Life Insurance.

This is a subject that is not always consid-
cred in its true light. To a man in the hey
day of life, in health and strength, death
seems so far off, that it hardly seems necessa-
ry to consider the subject of Life Insurance,
for the benefit of his family after he Is dead
But our daily experience demonstrates thal
nothing is so uncertain as life, and that one
of the first duties of every man is
TO make such such provision that
his family will not be left dependent upon the
cold charities of the world in the event of his
decease.
We remember how this whole community
was shocked, but a few weeks ago, at the
news of the sudden death by accident, of Hen
nv E. Brown, Esq. of Salem. Everybody
said show shocking" and chow sad that q
large family should be thus suddenly be de-
priyed of a counsellor and provider husband
and father !" But the following from Mrs
Brown shows that her husband was not I'M
mindful of the interests of his family while in
health and strength.

SALEM, April %, 1867.
r. W. BUELL., Esq. Dear Sir-Permit me
to extend to the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Co., my sincere gratitude for their
promptness in adjusting my claim for five
thousand dollars, arising from the loss of my
husband HENRY BROWN, who was insured un-
der Policy No. q, AL, Jan. 18th, 1861 | am
led by this promptness to appreciate or
"HOnle Company" who have so kindly settled
this loss, without subjecting me to the least
trouble or expense. l receive it with sadness
and stricken heart-yet with thankfulness,
1t will often remind me of the affection and
regard in which my husband ever held his
family, believing that to provide for those de-
pendant upon him was his first duty, and that
the safest and most easy way, through the
fundamentally of Life Insurance. Again
would l commend the Northwestern, to my
friends and the World.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) CONSTANTINE G. BRowN.
1t is gratifying to know that we have so re-
liable honorable, able and prompt company
organized and grown to its present proper
lions in our own State, as the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company. 1t is con-
Quoted upon the principles of honesty, up
Brightness and fairness, and is therefore just
the Company that all should patronize, who
think Of doing as Mr.. Brown did-that is,
make provision for their families, by taking
out Life Insurance Policy.

Don't fail to hear Prof. LYMAN in this, his
master piece, tomorrow evening.

WooD's REAPER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is
called to the advertisement on our first page,
of this well known reaper. Woods manufac-
tory, at Hoosic Falls, N. Y, is claimed to be
the largest establishment of the kind in the
world, and as an evidence of the increasing
popularity this reaper, it may be mentioned
that they have turned out this season over
10000 machines, a large number of which are
sent to Europe, where they are eagerly sought.

Prof, Lyman, Again,

As we intimated last week, Prof. WALTER
G. LYMAN has consented to give our citizens
another of his highly enjoyable histrionic en-
tertainments. Nobody who was present the
first evening will willingly be deprived of the
pleasure of attending the second.
The time has been fixed for tomorrow Fri-
day. evening, the 10th, at Simmons Hail. We
repeat what we said last week, that Prof. Ly-
mans entertainment should not be considered
a Shakspearean or any other Reading" 1t
consists more properly of Dramatic recitations
and representations. As the roads are good,
and we have slight moon, our friends in the
vicinity of the city will find this entertain
ment worth coming two, three or even four
miles to enioY

| Change Of Time.

UHaHg6 OF IIN6.
By reference to the time table, it will be seen
that slight change of time has been made in
the arrival and departure of trains. The morn
ing passenger trains each way are little ear
Her. and the afternoon trains little later
In this connection we may mention that our
young friend, EZRA SIMMONS now fills and has
for several weeks past, most acceptably, the
position of station agent at this place. He
succeeded Mr.. Sawyer about the first of April
and has fairly learned the ropes by this time.
AS far as we have heard he has given general
satisfaction, both to the travelling, business
public, and the company. This road has hith-
erto been fortunate in its selections of employ
es, and we hope to see the same characteristic
continued in the future.

Harbor Master.

We learn that B. NJ. Price, of New Haven, Conn,
who has been on a visit to this city during the past
winter, has received the appointment as Govt
Agent to superintend the work on our Harbor I'm
Provement under the appropriation made by the
first session of the 39th Congress. While we con-
graduate Mr.. Price on his appointment, we must
say that regret that an old resident, whose in
terests are centered here, and who thoroughly un-
derstands all the points about the harbor knows its
capabilities and necessities did not receive the ap-
pointment, instead of temporary sojourner in our
city. And say this with none but the friendliest
feelings towards Mr.. Price. We think that while
@'Uncle Sam, would have been equally well served,
the interests Kenosha would have been far better
served by a citizen whose interests are identical
with her own.
