As for Our Wholesale merchants in the Groce cry,
Queensware, and Dry Goods branches who were
Durnt, some of them will commence forthwith Some
are wholly ruined, many much crippled, but we be-
llcve the majority can go on as usual, and yester
day they were busy getting places of business and
Offices
1t is with heartfelt pleasure we observe the forth
tude with which they bear their losses. There is
no repining-no despair-no suenness; but calm,
determined spirit, which must carry them up again.
The effect will be to set us back for a moment, but
we never had more confidence in the strength and
spirit of our merchants to overcome it all in time.
1t must not be supposed that all the business por-
tons of the city are consumed. Most of the Dry
Goods Jobbers are untouched 80 ofthe Hardware
merchants, and number of the heavy houses are
out Of the burnt district. And it fortunately hap.
pens, too, that large amount of groceries from the
east, for the city, had not arrived. We repeat,
therefore, that though the city is terribly shaken it
is neither ruined, nor totally prostrated.

MAPLE sUGAR-HOW MUCH?

This is a great year for Maple Sugar in Vermont,
and ii the amount produced could be stated truly,
it would astonsh the Southern sugar-makors. We
are glad to see our friend Norman Williams Of
Woodstock, (who generelly has hand in good
works of all sorts endeavoring to ascertain the
quantity produced in Windsor county. For this
purpose, he has invited the clerks of school dis
trcts to report the quantity made in their districts
to the town clerk-and the town clerks to forward
to him the quantity for each town. If the town
clerks in this county will ascertain the quantity in
this mode, each in his own town, and forward to
us, we will pay the postage. We also suggest
that district clerks, or any other person, in each
school district in the state, take the trouble TO
certain the quantity produced and forward to the
postmaster Of his toion-each postmaster make out
the quantity for the town and Onward to TIE post
master or county clerk IN the shire tolcn Of The co-
", and the latter make statement for the county
and publish it. In this mode, even if not fully car
ried out in all the towns, an estimate nearly ap-
proXimating to the value Of the sugar produced
can be made. We guess the value of sugar pro
duced this year, in Vermont, will exceed one mil
lion of dollars.

few weeks ago we published the substance Of
the Mexican Minister'S (Almonte) protest against
the annexation of Texas. The reply of our Gov
ernment through Mr. Buchanan, Secretary Of State
was made on the 9th Of March. Mr.. Buchanan
says that the question having been passed upon by
all the branches Of this Government, is now ire
vocably decided, SO far as the United States are
concerned. Nothing but the refusal Of Texas to
ratfy the terms and conditions on which her admis-
sion depends, can defeat this object" The Presi-
dent nevertheless regrets that Mexico should be
otfended-hopes she will feel better about it ere
long-and declares that his efforts shall be devoted
TO the amicable adjustment of every cause of com
plant The sum of the whole is this: ave have
stolen Texas from you've shall keep her unless
she rebels-wc are sorry that you feel at all aggrev
ed by the theh pray don't fight us about tire
are comfortably off and altogether amicable."

FROM MEXICO.
HERALD OFFICE, I


,4rrivut of the u. S. iSchr F2iri from Hdudnd-
Important Intelligence from .Merco BY the arrival
of the U. s. schr. Flrt, Lieut.. Cont J. NJ. Wat
son, in seven days from Havana, we have been po-
ltely favored with the following interesting report
An English frigate had gone to Galveston TO in
form the Texan Government, on the part Of Next
co, that the latter country would acknowledge the
Independence of Texas, provided Terms refused her
consent 10 annexation iciM The United States.
The latest news from Mexico is decidedly
like. In announcing to the Mexican Congress the
passage of the measure Of Annexation, Senior Cue
vas took occasion to express the views OF the adj
ministration of General Herrera He said that the
Government would at once address energetic
protest to all friendly nations, well as to the Uni
ted States, against Annexation that diplomatic re-
latons with this country would thereupon termn-
ate. He said the Government felt itself strong
enough for the emergency, without the grant of
additional powers and trusted that, instead Of a
grievous calamity, Annexation might really prove
blessing to Mexico, by uniting all her people in
determined effort to maintain their rights and pre-
serve the integrity of the territory Of the Republic
! The Presidents of the two Chambers responded in
much the same strain.
On the DIST of March, the Chamber of Deputies
took into consideration the subject Of the Annexa-
ton of Texas to the U. s. Resolutions were in
troduced, and warmly supported, for declaring the
provision of the Treaty of 1881 (ratiied in 1899
at end; for closing the ports Of Mexico against
all vessels of the United States, and prohibiting
the Introduction of manufactures; and finally, that
no proposition from our Government for the resto-
ration of friendly relations should be listened to,
save upon the condition that the United States
should renounce altogether the plan Of Annexation.

The County Court is still in session. We have
called in occasionally, las spectator-nothlng
moro, thank Heaven J and nearly every civil case
which has fallen under our observation never ought
to have been brought at al-or il at all, it should
have been before some substantial justice OF the
peace; or, better yet, submitted to the decision of
honest neighbors. Law seems to have dwinded
down TO small business since our boyish days
The Judges then always seemed te be very great
men no offence, may it please your honors, land,
if we don't mis-remember, the sheriff always ac-
companied them with sober micn and stately steps,
wearing the same silver-hilted and siver-scabbard-
ed sword, which he used when escorting into the
capital the Governor and Commander in-Chiof in
and over the State Of Vermont AS much as TO say
Respect the officers of the Commonwealth and OF
the Law-the sword of justice will surely fall up
on transgr ssors The sheriff carries "A cane, now
significant of cub-lmo The lawyers, too, seemed &c
be gielt men-the speeches more eloquent than We
hear now,--and we always sympathised with one
or the other of the suitors, and occasionally witt
both by turns, as ingenious and eloquent advocate,
followed each other in the argument. The change
doubtless is not great it appears but after al
we think it is true that the increase of lawyers has
produced an increase of litigation,-an increase o
petty suits, which do no credit to those concerned
in them. If half the lawyers were turned out tc
grass'--to raise and cut and feed it out we mean
they would find it for their advantage, to say
nothing of the community at large. The remarl
is susceptible of wider applicatoll-and if an.
body deems it applicable to all professions, editor
inclusive, are won't complain.

We learn that Judge Nelson, whose appointment
as Judge of the Supreme Court of the United
States we noticed few days since, will attend the
Circuit Court to be holden at Windsor in this dis
trict in May next. There having been no Circuit
Judge here but at one term of the Court for three
years past and none since October term 1912, sew
oral cases. such as appeals and adjourned questions
in bankruptcy, with few others, being cases in
which the District Judge could not sit have been
necessarily postponed from term to term. 1t is ex-
pected that all these, and such other cases as may
be pending, will be heard and disposed Of at the
ensuing term.
