An error in the article in last on sugar needs
correcting. We ventured TO guess ut the amount
of sugar made in this State the past season We
intended to say 1000 instead of 5000 hogsheads--
about half the amount es;inated by the Montpelier
Waterman. BY reference to Thompsons History
Il Gazetteer of Vermont, we find the amount made
in 1910 about 1900 hogsheads. The last
Woodstock Mercury contains a report of sugar
made in one school district in that town-more
than II 900 pounds II has been proposed that
report be made in each school district to the clerk
of the district throughout the State. We hope
snch course will be pursued, and that in a few
weeks shalt be able to publish full report for
Windham County.

We said in our last that all heart and
hand with President Polk the Oregon question.
So far as the simple language of his inaugural adj
dress is concerned, and no further-for this is all
we know of the Presidents views and projects
did we intend our remark TO apply. As we said in
the article alluded to, he may have been indiscreet
in using the language he did, on such an occasion,
just in the midst of pending negotiations. What
effect the official dictnm will have on the negotia-
ton, remains to be seen. We perceive no great
improperly ia the language itself He spoke of
our "rights to the Oregon" 'beng clear and UNI
questionable" The English ministers, in noticing
MIR Folks address, say in reply, 'we have rights to
the Oregon that clear and uaquestOaaJle ''-One
party swallowing the words of the other. The
Charleston Mercury facetously calls this the only
instance he ever met WITH of really intellectual
Kilkenny fight. Neither Mr. Polk, nor the British
ministers assert "clear and unquestionable title
to the iokole of the Oregon And judging from the
last reports brought from England, and the explain
atoms in the official newspaper at Washington,
apPrehend no great difficulty, at present, on this
subject.

Tracts for Children.

We take great pleasure in referring to a series of
Childrens Tracts published by the I'm. s. s. Union
advertised in our columns this week They are
prepared in a neat and uniform style, and are, in
our opinion, admirably adapted TO their purpose.
They will be followed, we understand by several
other series of like character designed for univer.
sal circulation ut the low rate of sir for cent For
81 200 more than million copies of these winged
messengers oftruth might be scattered broadcast
over the country to bear precious fruit in due time
The amount paid to u S. Senators at the recent
Executive session, for cOnstructice mileage, SO for
every twenty miles trave-whch was not per-
forned--woud if appropriated to this benevolent
object have been the means of circulating Screen
teen millions of these beautiful little tracts all over
our land and this would be towards ono hundred
million pages ofsound, instructive and entertaining
reading. 1t would place several of these tracts in
the hands every child and youth in the U. States.
The Pennsylvania Enquirer appends to notice of
these publications the following excellent sugges-
ton.
a il impairment in us while on the subject,
TO suggest to some Of our wealthy and benevo-
lent citizens, the idea of appropriating the inter-
est of one, two, five or ten thousand dollars for
term Of years to the gratuitous distribution
of these tracts 1t is as important TO keep the
twig from wrong bend as it is to straiehten
tree that hasgrown up crooked. We may hope
something more will be done for our boys and
girls; even though there should be no less ei-
fort for the improvement Of men and women.
II il is good to take care OF the Refuge, the
.Magdalen Asylum and the Penitentiary, il is
better TO take care Of the Infant, Daily and
Sunday School, and above all of the HOME of
children.

FORGERY. &c.

- 1t is fully ascertaned that George @. Pomeroy,
OF the firm of Wooson a. Pomeroy, Cleveland, was
the author of the fraud perpetrated upon the Pho
nix Bank, Hartford, Ct, by leaving as collateral
security for loan, package purporting, under
the seal of the Comptroller, 10 contain l4 900 on
one of the broken safety fund banks of New York
He has also committed forgery of an acceptance
of a $4,000 draft-and series of frauds upon his
partner, C. j. Woolson, Esq, who will be a severe
sufferer by him. He had left Cleveland week
before these astounding disclosures for the city Of
New York.
Pomeroy is a son of DR.. George Pomeroy OF
Cooperstown, N. Y, highly respectable man, and
nephew to }. Fennimore Cooper. He is gradu-
ate Of Columbia College, and still quite young.
Mr. Woolson, his partBer, married his sister and
is, we believe, from Claremont, N. H.
There is painful report in circulation, and we
fear authentic, that DR.. Darling of Greenfield, who
lectured in this place last winter, Physiology, is
in the Rutland County jail for stealing money some
year or two since, from the Poultney Bank, and
that his anxiety to escape detection, led him To
make deposition in an assumed name, to use in a
civil suit brot against him by the Bank for the
money.

This good old florist who under the
soubriquet of LAURIE ToDD figures in
Calls novel Of that name, is we'll known
in our country, and as much beloved as
he is celebrated. Few persons visit
New York without paying him visit at
his seed store, or depart without receiving
from him an old mans word of advice
for the future. He is now ~ years old,
and came to America in his e2d year
A new edition Of Calls work has just
been published, and will be read by the
rising generation with equal pleasure and
profit The first part OF it is taken near
ly word for word from Mr.. Thorburns
MSS and the new edition contains a
preface from his pen. We learn from it
that Mr.. Gait, the author, resided some
years in Canada, and passed through
New York in 1881, on his way to Eng
land. MIR. Buchanan, then British Con
sui, introduced him to Mr.. Thorburn, at
the seed-store Of the latter, in Liberty
street. Subsequently, the two spent an
evening together at the American Hotel,
and then long night and part Of the
morning. Gait, on hearing Thorburn's
story, said that he ought "a. have kept a
MSS. The latter SAID that he had lie
loaned it to Gait, and on this, he founded
his story of Laurie Todd, which he pub
lisled in London, and for which he re-
ceived three thousand guineas. Mr..
Thorburn, in his preface, gives the fol-
lowing touching account Of meeting
with his father, after an absence Of forty
years, and in the same house in which
the two had parted

Old Winter hath come with slealthy tread
