SOMERS.

The weather continues remarkably
milo for the time of the year. Novem-
Der ended no fine Thanksgiving was
a beautiful day. Light rain storms,
cloudy, with some fine sunshiny days
frost at night has been the rule.
So far, there has not been sufficient
frost to prevent ploughing, so that far
mers are ploughing corn ground OF
breaking sod yet.
Our Station master, Mr.. Thompson,
met with an accident week ago last
Saturday which deprives him of the
use of his left hand for the present.
Whilst loading a revolver, one barrel
was discharged, the ball passing
through the palm or surface of the
hand and lodging in the decreasing of
the depot. The school teacher of Dist.
No. 1, who was standing near by, had
a close call, SO it is said, the ball pass
ing near his body.
Our sportsmen celebrated Thanks
giving by hunt. Sides were chosen
and the game brought in in the eve
ming was SO equal that it was called a
draw, and an oyster supper at the town
hall wound UP the day.
Sunday last, Rev. Mr.. Eaton, of Be-
lott, exchanged pulpits with Mr.. Par
sons. His old parishioners at the three
appointments, were glad Of the oppor-
tunity to hear him and shake hands.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoysradt, of Wilmot,
were visiting at their daughters, Mrs
A. G. Ozanne, last week.
Miss Carrie Barnes has gone to Be-
lott ON visit to Rev. Eaton's.
Matters seem lively at the Station.
The mill is busy, SO are the storekeep-
ers. Dressed hogs are being shipped to
some extent, as also other articles.
Mail facilities are to be increased,
thanks to our p M. The blacksmith |
shop is moved to the station.
Frank Yule's building is progressing
rapidly this fine weather.
Rev. Parsons and DR.. Ozanne attend
ed the Milwaukee district conference
Of the M. E. church week before last.

TO THE CITIZENS OF KENOSHA
COUNTY HAVING BUSINESS IN
THE COUNTY COURT.

The undersigned thought proper to
say that there are a number of materi-
al changes in the new law relative to
the practice and settlement of estates
particularly as to terms of court, to
which | wish to call public attention.
The new law provides that there shall
be general terms the first Tuesday Of
each month, and special terms on every
other Tuesday where ordinary bust
ness is done, the same as heretofore.
But no matter that requires notice
can be made returnable at any other
but a general term.
1t will therefore be seen that any one
who wishes to prove will, take out
letters of administration, make appli-
cation for dover, partition of land,
and, in fact, all petitions requiring pub
lie notice to be given, must be made
on the first Tuesday of each month
and the hearings will be heard on The
first Tuesday of the following month.
Another matter I would call the at
tention of the people CT this county to
as it is of vital Importance to them
1t is this: There are settlements OF
estates commenced from two to TWEEN
| ty years ago remaining unfinished. II
some of these cases, the executors anC
/. administrators have died, bondsme1
have died, and, in other cases, the par
ties have removed to other states
Thus estates involving thousands o.
dollars, with imperfect titles of land
are left in chaos and confusion. The
inevitable results are litigation ani
family strife.
| My advice is to have these closed uF
at once, and in future that none but
competent men, CT good business hab
its, be appointed to fill these response
bic positions. I pledge myself to give
all the aid / can,but am powerless tc
act unless parties themselves who ars
interested bring the matters before me

BEDBTGs AGAIN.

A CicagO lady writes TO the Inter
Ocean that she has had large expe-
rlence with bugs (and we don't
doubt ut, judging from some Of the
houses we have seen lR this city.) She
gives a recipe which she positively
asserts will kill the oldest bedbug
known:
Take Off the mattresses, remove the
springs and Stats, wash and clean well
with soap and water. Then get some
Oil OF WOrmWOOd and small camel's
hair brush: dip the brush in the oil,
rub it all around the inside of the bed
stead and on each end of the Stats,
then put more on the brush and touch
each corner of the rooms we'll, rub it
along the board next the floor, and on
any creaks or breaks in the paper or
walls, also around the doors. If any
bugs are in the room this will kill
them; if in other rooms, they will turn
back from the one containing the oil.
l have seen them do so. | know this
has been tried. by dozens of my friends,
and in no case has it failed. The oil
is not disagreeable in regard to oder,
but is a little expensive. In country
places. OF for people Of small means,
the herb can be used, OF wormwood
tea, made very strong, can be applied
to all woodwork. 1t will not be quite
as good or sure as the oil, as it will not
be so strong. The Oil is a deadly poi
son if taken internally, but not injuri-
Gus to handle. | have never met any
one, with the exception of those to
whom I gave the recipe. that knew

la the first place, dig them at the
right time, and the right time is when
they are ripe. Break potato open,
and if it exudes a gummy juice and
turns dark when it dries, it is not
ripe, and will not keep, no matter how
you hill it 9r protect it. On the other
hand, if it breaks dry and maintains
It's white color when it is broken, it
will keep even in spite Of careless
handling. The best time to dig the
potato is after a long, dry spell. If they
are allowed to remain ian the ground
after a rain long enough to take on a
new growth, they will certainly not
keep well. 1t is not necessary that
the frost should kill the vines before
digging, it d long dry spell has already
stopped their growth. If, however,
the vines have continued green and
vigorous, and the potatoes are in a
sappy condition, let them stand until
the vines ,are killed by frost
2. In TIE next place, handle them
carefully liza digging Do not allow
them to Toe thrown about carelessly
and skinned Have them gathered in
baskets, without being thrown in, car
ried in the same baskets to the place
where they are to be hilled, and emp
tied with AS little bruising as possible.
Select all the broken and cut potatoes
and keep them apart from the others.
3. Choese a dry place for killing
them, sufficiently elevated to prevent
rain fromsettling about them. Make
q bed sageral inches thick. of dry pine
tstraW, and large enough to hold TWEEN
ty-fve or thirty bushels of potatoes.
Large hills ,ture objectionable beca"se
when hill is once broken, it is more
liable to rot. Never put more than
forty bushels in a lhill-we prefer
twenty-five ,or thirty.
4. Having heaped THE potatoes in
the bed of pune straw, cover them com
pletely with pine straw, and unless
the weather is very cold let them
Estand for two or three days, then
ishingle over the hill, beginning at the
bottom, with pieces of pine bark. so
! arranged as to turn water, and cover
l[lightly with earth, leavialg a hole at

Sufficient protection against freezes.
UT course the covering must be thick

a covering of two inches is sufficient.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Can anything be done to revive bust
ness in Kenosha more than what is
now done. We have a large Wagon
mandatory, employing nearly 200
hands, that have many of them fami-
lies, who spend their earnings among
the city merchants. The Tannery en-
ploying nearly one hundred men, most
of whom have families, paying out
their earnings here at home. Also
the Tanning Mill, Insulator and
Cheese Box Factory, their employees
securing their weekly pay, distributing
in town for the necessary support Of
their own and their families. Have
we not quite a number of men in our
midst of considerable capital that
could be induced to use part of their
money in starting a business that
would be profitable to themselves and
to the interest of the city. Suppose
ten men would join and form a COM
pany with twenty thousand dollars
capital, and manufacture boots and
shoes, and thereby give employment
to SO men, boys and girls, which would
cause an increase Of inhabitants to our
city. Then again let men join in a
capital of $4,000 and start the man
ufacture Of Paper, employing quite
number Of men and boys. We have
men of sufficient means in this city to
start a Wooden mandatory, of at
least capital of $4,000. If our own
citizens would awake up to the inter-
est of Kenosha and say aOe a0iU see
what we can do to increase the pros
perity of our beautiful city, it would
induce capital from abroad to come
here for investment. If our moneyed
men would commence, an encourage
ment would be given to those of our
citizens of small means, that they
would do small business if some or
all of the foregoing suggestions were
carried into effect, an immediate de-
mand for houses would arise, and in
stead of large number of houses be-
ing unoccupied all would be filled and
a demand for more to be built.
Kenosha is elligiDly situated as to
water and railroad transportation we
have good harbor. Nature has done
all that she could fol US, we are q
healthy city, beautifully located, and
nothing but lack of enterprise will
keep this city so dead. If those man.
ufactures are put III operation, we
shall not hear any farmer of our coun-
ty complain that he has to send his
butter, cheese, eggs, and other produce
to Chicago; he will have no reason to
say that a few tbs.of butter and cheese,
load Of hay, a load Of oats, will glut
the Kenosha market. Instead of o
few teams being on our streetsthrough
the week, we will see our streets full
daily, our merchants busy from morn
ing till night. all will be happy. AS we
now are approaching a new year, let
the report be heralded from one end
of our city to the other and through
out our entire county that Mr.. A. &
B. have stated the Shoe business, Mr..
C. & D. have started the Paper MAX
ing business, Messrs. E., T. & Co.,

lures are the product of orr own

The golden glow of autumn time
Has faded like an ember,
And on the dreary landscape lie
The first SHOWS of November.
Chill blows the wind through woods discrowne
OF all their leafy glory,
AS thus the seasons in their round
Repeat the endless story.
The earth hath yielded up her fruits
To bless the sons of labor,
And peace and plenty crown the lives
OF CHEEKY friend and neighbor.
In crowded towns, on prairies broad
In homes by lake and river,
Ten thousand grateful hearts unite
To bless the gracious Giver.
Thanksgiving for the harvest full,
The orchards mellow treasures.
The purple grapes. the golden corn,
And all the joys and pleasures,
And bounties rich and manifold,
That make life worth the living:
For these alike the young and old
Join in glad Thanksgiving.
The kindly pair, whose weight of years
With frosty locks has crowned them,
Are seated at the festal board
With all their children round them.
The father gyeth fervent thanks
In simple speech and diction,
And stretches forth his aged hands
In holy benediction
Thus friends, long sundered, reunite,
Recount each grief and pleasure
The annals of the fading past
And fill again the measure,
or youth and healthful joyousness,
AS in the glad time olden,
When skies were blue, anu life was new,
And all the days were golden.
Thanks to the Pilgrim Fathers, then,
Whose little goodly leaven
Works out, through all the buried years,

And to the Lord-whose gracious gifts

The first load of the present shipment
arrived at the ships side from the
stock yard last night ut about 10
o clock. Side boarded acids were
placed in position from the cattle
boat Golden to the steamer France,
and large number of men with poles
and short sticks were set to work
driving the cattle into the hold of the
ship. The boat-loads continued to ar
rive all night and till 12 O'clock to-
day. Since the France arrived in port
last week, carpenters have been en-
gagged in erecting stalls and making
other arrangements for the carrying
Of the cattle. The saloon of the yes
sci has been converted INTO cattle
house. In this apartment the cattle
are stored. or rather packed, in stalls,
each containing six head. The stalls
are arranged on the extreme sides,
and IN the centre of the once magniti.
cent saloon. The hold and main deck
OF the vessel, from stem to stern, are
filled with cattle. This shipment con-
tame | the finest Of cattle yet sent to
England. They are valued at from
500 to $50 per head, and are sold in
than dressed meats sent out in refrig-
orators. The animals are shipped by
McConvlle and Eastman, of this city.
and are consigned to Bell & Sons, Lon
don. The suffering among the cattle
on the passage across it was said would
be great. but this the shippers denied,
us they maintain that everything for
the comfort and convenience Of the
animals is being sent. Large quanti-
ties or epson salts, molasSes. and nitre
are fed to the cattle, as they suffer
very much from the fatigue of the sea
voyage. They are d during the
voyage OH corn, hay and salt. Twen-
ty-five attendants leave with the cat
tie to attend to their wants. A num-
Der of carpenters also sail on the YES
sci to repair injuries to the stalls, etc.
during the voyage. The shippers do
not anticipate any loss on the way
over. although the over crowded con-
dition OF the hold and deck makes it
probable that some wiI#Snccumb to
the fatigues of the voyage. The
freight is said to amount to between
$4,000 and $4,000. Besides the cat
tie there are on the after deck nailed
up i'll wooden coops nearly three hun
dred head Of sheep shipped by John
McDougall. vf New York, to Samuel
Pool. London. These animals are
sold i'll the English markets for good
prices. They are fed during the voy-
age on hay, corn, and oats.
