pass through the Sturgeon Bay Canal is Of
much Importance and it is constantly increas-
ing. And when the Fox and Wisconsin riy-
ers mproment is completed and the resources
of the country developed, it will De of great
magnitude.
Soon after leaving Sturgeon Bay Captain
Trowell provided band and cleared the sa-
loon for dancing. After music and dancing
had continued some time resting spell was
taken, and the President called the Conven-
ton to order to close it's proceedings. A vote
of thanks to Capt Trowell was passed and he
was called on for speech. The Capt. said
all he had to say was he hoped thew would all
come again next year. President Seymour
then called on Mrs. Hauser to sing hymn
| in Hindostan, and brought her forward.
Though announced sometime before. Mrs
Hauser came forward somewhat hesitatingly
and very modestly, and sung with a fine
sweet voice in what seemed to be a pleasant
and euphonious language. Much could be
said in favor of Mrs. Hauser's singing in Hin
dostan. And but one thing could be said
against it. There was TOO little of It. Dan
cling was then resumed and continued till
the Captain gave notice that it was time to
prepare to leave the boat We arrived at
Green Bay'in ample time for the 5:45 tram,
and, taking leave of Captain Trowell and the

On the afternoon of Monday the 10Th, the
country and crops, from Kenosha to Har
ward, and to Clinton Junction, where dark.
ness hid them from sight, appeared well. On
this side of Harvard one man only spoke oil
wheat being. injured by rust, and his state
ment was disputed by others. At Harvard
there was complaint of wheat and potatoes

, Green Bay to kenosha on the 25tn and 26th,
as we could see, the country appeared beau

, junction 1T was said wheat and potatoes were
injured in that vicinity, but that everything
else was doug well-never better. Reports
in relation to wheat are various. Some say
that wheat has gone up, some that there. will
not be more than half a crop, and o hers
5 that there will be full or nearly tul crop.
[ Reports of the effect of the late heavy raiu on
5 wheat differ. Some say the rain has injured
wheat, and others that it has improved it by
washing OFF the rust. There may be some
truth in all these reports. Wheat is undou bt

ways fearful, and by giving free utterance ia

heard an intelligent farmer oftbis county say
that wheat had gone up, and another, equal

t kers, and that there was prospect tor fail
