Originally the bill contained a grant for Minnesota, from St. Pari to Lake Superior.

E. BATES, as we have before stated, included in which was a grant of ten sections per mile for a road from Berlin to liayfield on Lake Superior. With these amendments in behaif of Wisconsin th bill passed from the Senate to the House, and came up their for final action on Tuesday night last. During its process through the House it was most extensively amended. Michigan, Iowa, and we are not sure but other States asked and got.

grants' for turnpikes and railroads to an extent almost: sufficient fq use up free lands set aside, ai was suppos ed, for the benefit of those who desire to settle and cultivate tliem. When the Wisconsin features of the bill was reached, Eidridge of the fourth district, moved that Fond du Lau and Doty's Island be added as points for the commencement of the road to Bayfield, the Legislature of the State to fix by law the place as between Berlin and the two points added. This amendment prevailed, and in this shape the bill passed th: House, and we presumo has also passed the Senate and is now a law. Our readers will then understand that as the iaw has finally passed, the grant for Bayfieid makes lier.in. Fond da Lac or Doty's Is i and, as the Legislature may hereafter determine, the point for tl.

commencement of such road. They will also understand that this amendment by the House bring in conflict important rival interests, and will be the occasion' of a struggle in the state, not entirely unlike the struggle which attended the disposal of the land grants made a few years ago. The amendment, of course, was not acceptable to all the Wisconsin delegation, but the House had become impatient by a long sitting, and the amendment wan hut ried through with little consideration, a quorum of members being present. It would not do to intercept and change it in the Senate, even had it been practiciible, for it is not likely, if returned to the House, it would have been touched agaia at this session, but would have failed entirely. This amendment was of course, chiefly in the interest of the Northwestern Road.

Had the bid remainedas originally passed, with Berlin as the starting point, the road would have been fixiul as a State institution. The next effort will be to manipu.ate the Legislature in making Fond du Lac, or more probah Doty' Island, as the starting point of the road, to the end that it may be made a mere extension of the Northwestern Koad. The most practicable and effective mode of bringing these schemers to nought, and securing for the State and Milwaukee all to which, by en. terprise thry may be en titled, is to construct the iong talked of air line to Fond du Lac, which' will make Milwaukee and the Lake Shoro so obviously, the route of this road from Bayfield that it connot be set aside or thwarted. With that road certain to be constructed, Fond-du Lao would easily be made the basis of this new line.

Without it, a most vigorous push will be made for Doty's Island, and we cannot 6ay with confidence that it will not suocsed. SenftW. in Probate.

Madame Bishop has been treating our neighboring cities to 'gems of and having once heard this delightful can-tatrice, we know much we of the Island City have missed in not having her stop here. This is her last singing tour. Appropos of Bishop, who as well as her agent, assumes a 'delightful pomposity a friend relates the following: It is well known that only persons of rank in life are allowed to travel in Russia with four horses to their carriage.

Moore, the Clairvoyant Physician of Appleton. The Courier says: Mrs. M. has, for the past year and a half been a constant visitor to our city, once every four weeks, and during that time, has made many warm friends by her urbanity of manner and the kind assistance rendered to the sick and afflicted. She had a large number of patients from ail parts of the county, and who looked to her coming onreamontb, as a matter of certainty.

But she is dead dead to the world, but liveth in the memory of all as a bright star, loved by all who knew her.

There is ererj indication of another mov tttii u-- The Island City Times is of opinion that the railroad to Lake Superior proposed by the late land grant of Congress, which may start at Berlin, Fond du Lac or Doty's Inland, as the Legislature may determine, will certainly start from Doty's Island. This being so, it is further of the opinion that it will make the "Island City'' exactly what or where the Island City is located, we are not aware, as no such name is found in our nomenclature of cities in the State one of the largest cities in Wisconsin if not the West.

This is a pleasant anticipation which we trust may be realized. Milwaukee Sentinel. The Island City is the name adopted by Neenah and Menasha, two flourishing vil lages lying on either side of the Fox River, and separated by Doty's Island, which is to day being rapidly settled and is incorporated in our villages. Wo are at the head of Lake Winnebago; have railroad communications north to Green Bay and South to Chicago and the East; will soon have one Railroad from here to Bayfield on Lake Superior, and another to St. Paul, and if Manitowoc wakes up, still another to that, the principal eity of interest to as on Lake Michigan north of Chicago; we have a doxen or so of first class flouring Milis besides numerous other important Manufactories, the products of which are shipped East via Milwaukee -in a horn.

In short, the Island City is one of the localities of which Wisconsin can boast, and will continue to flourish, although our quiet friends of Milwaukee, and the Sentinel, which is a fair exponent of their illiberality, do not know 'what the Island City is -Is the Sentinel posted now The following good advice to fruit growers, was received too lato for insertion last week Appleton, May 23d, 1864. Ma. Editor Allow me to urge upon your patrons, as many of them as have set fruit trees this season, the need of thorough mulching, especially as the season is dry and the ground in not the best condition for setting. If you have not already done so pat a bushel of chip-manure, well rotted stable manure, or if you have nothing better, a thick coat of straw around each tree. The tree should be well watered before mulching, and occasionally afterwards if there is no rain.

I hare seen many trees in the past few days that had been watered freely and not mulched, and as the sun dried up the water the ground baked aa bard as a brick around the tree. No tree can grow in such a condition. A good coat of muleh preserves a uniform moisture around the roots, and keeps the soil loose and porous so that it readily imparts nourishment to the tree. If you have not yet trimmed yoar trees, do it now.l Leave not more than four or five limbs, and eat them back to within six or seven bade each of the body of the tree. Do vhot neglect your trees or, if you do, and they die, do not blame the nurserymen.

PAPE The Manitowoc Pilot, of a late date, contains a sound article in regard to the policy of Manitowoc building a Railroad to Menasha, and. urges unity where discord has hitherto prevailed and prevented the consummation of that project. The following contains items of special importance te those whose duty it is to see to the building of a good Wagon road into Calumet and Manitowoc counties: Oar merchants know that the grain raised in Calumet county and in the western and northern portions of our own county now finds its best market at Menasha and Green Bay. With a railroad to Menasha connecting us with roads centreing at that point and the trade of the county watered by navigable rivers of two hundred miles in extent, Manitowoc would become the depot of the grain and entrepot of the trade of a large extent of country and 3,000 000 bushels of wheat might be ship-ped from this point directly to eastern markets, instead of receiving, as we do now 100,000 bushels, and shipping it in bags to Milwaukee, to be from thence transported in bulk to its final destination. Did we receive here the large quantity which a railroad would give us, we could pay mere than they could at Milwaukee, while with Fine Middlings Ton CO.

Had our farmers kept their wheat last fad over into the winter, they could have taken it on sleighs to Menasha and there obtained twenty cents per bushel more than they realised here, and while there could have obtained their winter' supplies cheaper than horeand loaded back with feed for cattle and horses required i this county, and at the ruling market prico here doubled on the cost. 1 The reason why the farmers of Man- itowoo and Calumet did not 'save their grain till winter and bring it to Menasha, is obvious. Aa a rale, the farmers in a new country are poor and cannot hold on to their grain till winter for high prices, and in this ease, although at the very time of sale the producer might have realised 8 to 12 cents more per bushel, they eould not reaeh us, and were obliged to sell in a poor market to their own and our rreat disadvantage.
