TIN WEpDlxa.-Last Tuesday evening
closing the tenth year Of the married life
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. c. Alden, number
Of their friends resolved upon giving them
surprise visit. All the arrangement.
were carefully and cautiously made, and
the evening in question Mr. and Mrs. A.
were invited to spend at a neighbours. Ad-
vantage was taken Of this to get every
thing into shape, 50 that when at about
eight o'clock they returned home in obe-
diencc to notice that company had come"
they found that sure enough it had! Some
forty persons greeted their astonished gaze
as they entered the house, aud what .
multitude Of strange things! Here were
tin caudlesticks, of about the length of a
fence rail, from whose tops blazing can
dies, made in mould to match, shed their
rays over the assemblage there stood .
towering tin horn, modelled after first
class church steeple and yonder tin
watch, with face foot in diameter,
shone respondent in its wealth of chain
and seal, all Of the same precious metal.
Besides these and many other similar mon
strosities, there was a great variety Of arii-
Giles both elegant and useful. It was very
evident from the display on that evening
that hard times had passed away, as peo-
pie came down readily with their tin.
In another room stood tables loaded with
dslicacies that seemed without limit in
quantity or kinds. Printer-hke, We wish

fill. All seemed to enjoy very pleasant
evening. (ne reference especially to Capt.

homes at late hour with many wishes for
the future happiness Of the tin-weddinged
couple.

EDITOR OF TELEeRAPH.-I have always
supposed our town to be very healthful one
b ut the statistics furnished by your CORES
pendent, Mr.. Ames, are hardly sufficient to
establish the fact. 1t is difficult to estimate
the relative healthfulness of new states on
the basis Of the number of old people, because
that depends so much in the ages of the i'm
migrant population. 1t can hardly be esti-
mated until a generation grows up with
constitutions formed in the climate.
1 learn from the last weekly Cincinnati
Gazette that the town of Yarmouth, Maine,
with population of $500 has 129 persons
over 70 years of age, or at the rate of SO per
mill, while Kenosha, according to Mr.. Ames'
estimate, has but 10 per mill
According to the census of 1860, 80 per mill
of the population of Rutland Co., Vt. and AZ
per mill OF that of Windham, were 20 and up
wards. 1t may seem unfair to compair towns
with counties, because longevity is greater in
the country than in towns. But this applies
mainly to large cities. There is one fact
however, that makes noticeable difference in
the ratio of the aged to the entire population
of the Northeast,a as compared with the North
west; and that is the greater number of chill
dren to the family in the latter region as CON-
pared with the former. The emigration of
youthful adults from the Northeast also af-
fects it in great measure.
The q. S. census does not give the ages of
the people of smaller divisions than counties
But on comparing Kenosha Co. with several
Others taken at random along the lake shore,
the result is quite favorable to the former.
Thus, while Kenosha Co. reported 10 per
mill of the population as being &c and upwards
Lake Co., ILL.,, reports II; sheboygan Co.,
Wis, 10, and Racine 10 and Milwaukee T.
Undoubtedly, in est mating climatic influence
allowance is to be made for a large proper
ton of the population of Milwaukee Co. be-
ing city population. l should, in common
with Others, be more gratifed if we could
have an accurate report of the mortality Of
Kenosha, as the only sufficient means of de-
termining It's relative salubrity. Could have
had this and found it as favorable as suppose
it to bel should before now made known the
fact in thousands of circulars distributed over
a large area of country.

Kenoaha. Manufactures.

We have no statistics of the manufacture OF
wagons, agricultural implements and ma
chinery In this city, but judging frsm the
number of men employed in the different es-
adjustments, and the finished work which is
almost daily being shipped, the manufactur-
ing interest is evidently larger than is gene
rally supposed. Notwithstanding all that is
being done, the business of manufacturing
might be proftably increased to an almost in
definite extent. There have been agricultural
implements and machinery enough brought
to this place from the east. and sold, the pres
emit season, which, if manufactured here,
would have given profitable investment to a
large amount of capital and furnished en-
ployment to great number of laborers. 1t
is the Judgment of practical men, that the
reapers, mowers, and other machinery
brought here from the States of New York
and Ohio, could be manufactured here cheap
er than at the establishments from whence
they came, There is certainly here, an in
viting field for enterprise and capital

Her engines, which are double are certainly
serviceable well made machines, and credit
to the bay State iron works" of Milwaukee
who manufactured them.
She is also furnis he'd with a Poneu Enoint
and boiler for pumping water and has a steam
pipe connected with the main boiler and ex-
tending in the hold of the Tug as a means of
safety and protection in case of fire. There
Is also a hose connected with the steam pump
and poney engine by which all the upper
works, as well as the lower, can be flooded
with water. Her builders are Messrs. Allen
