MAPLE sUGAR-A NEW ELEMENT.

A correspondent of the Tribune, writing from
Windsor County, refers to substance found in
maple sugar, and says
The sugar makers have always noticed that a
kind of grit settles in the Sugar and Moasses after it
is made. This varies greatly in quantity in different
years. The present year the quantity is large
When the Sugar was manufactured chiefly in the
woods il was supposed to DO ashes or dirt deposited
during the process of evaporaton but the quantity is
the same when the sap is evaporated in the house
and cleanscd with the greatest From small
quantity perhaps 50 lbs obtained nearly gill of
the substance. When tasted with the Sugar it sim
ply appears like sand but upon dssolvng the sugar,
and repeatedly washing it with water, obtained a
substance nearly white, and with vsry pungent, al
kaline taste.
The presence Of Ammonia in Sugar is mentioned

The committee the resolution relating i,o tho
Portland route beg leave to report,
That their knowledge OF the proposed route is nee
essarily small Tint part extending from Portland
to Canada Line, from the examination made by James
Hall, Civil Engineer, in October last, referring to his
report, it would seem imprnclicable That part of
the route from Canada line to Compton passes
through a wilderness most of the way presenting but
few inducements for the investment of capital.
From Sherbrooke and Compton TO Moareal, your
committee give it as their opinion, from the enter
prise, influence and wealth of persons interested in
that route that the public may look with good de-
gree Of certainty to the completion Flint part OF the
Portland route in reasonable time, and should tho
Concord Rail Roadpeope awake TO their true interest
and operate with the Passumpsic route with their
accustomed vigor but htto doubt can reasonably ex-
Isl that the connection between Boston and Montreal,
via the Passumpsic route and Stnnsteod will be COM
pIeted before any other contemplated route.
From information ola reliable character, their
committee report that the Passumpsic valley and
Plymouth Rail Road route should put forward their
utmost energies not doubling that they will be met
and that promptly by road extending the whole dis
lance from Montreal to Canada Line
road will ever be built from Sherbrooke TO Portland
that any acquainted with the routo thinks
il will. PORTUS BAXTER, for Committee.
THE EXCISE LAW OF N. YORK. The bill to
regulate the sale Of ardent spirits passed both houses
Of the N. York Legislature previous to their adjourn
ment and was signed by Gov. Wright. 1t passed the
Senate by small majority and the House without
division 1t must have been very popular in tho last
named body. The Law provides that the lreemen
may vote upon the question of sale in each town s.
when the minority say ,nones to be sold ;but where
II is the other way the sale is made legal gives the
people the power Of prohibiting the sale TO license
iI-ns does the present license law of Vermont, with
this difference-in N, York they vote by towns, in
this state, by counties. The City ofN. York is
ccpted from the provisions Of the bill. As Gov.
Wright signed the bill it would appear that he thinks
a law prohibiting the sale orspr is constitutional
lie vetoed rail road appropriation bill few days
before and Of course would have done in this
If he did not approve Ofh There are now similar
laws in force in Maine, NJ Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Michigan and indeed, in most the states Of the I'm
ion. They leave the question Of the sale Of spirit
in the hands Of the people, they may license the
sale or prohibit it, ns they like. This form OF Legs
lation Ivy The people at The ballot boxes is becom-
ing quite popular, il is quite clear otherwise the
great state Of n. York-and a party too, headed
by Gov. Wright would not have done thus.

THs Lfon's Roam N THE DEsERT.- Early
ia the morning, as soon as the sun begins to
cast its rays on the sandy pillows OF the des-
ert, the royal animal rises from his lar to sal.
" forth in quest of prey. His voice may be
heard in the distance; it commences win q
low murmuring. which gradually increases,
until at last It becomes fearful and teTrinc
roar, like the rolling Of thunder, and IS audi
bic at the distance Of two miles. The whole
animal kingdom tremble, and evinces the
greatest fear when the king of beasts Is heard:
The sheep tremble as if attacked with ague,
place their heads together, and endeavour TO
hide themselves; the horses break out into
sweat with fear and the dogs hurry away as
fast as they can, TO find place ofreiuge. In
fine, all the beasts are seized with the most
unequivocal terror, when the lion makes his
approach known. Should caravan happen
to be near the spot, i. is impossible TO Keep
tho camels together; they leap about IN all
directions, and are scattered abroad under the
influence Of fear. Il myself once had the OPP
portanity Of witnessing a scene of this kind
On arriving Tin my travels) at the wells of
Samaria, we suddenly heard murmuring
noise afar, resembling the rolling of balls in
an empty barrel; but we were soon acquaint
ed with its true cause, when il gradually In
creased to the terrible thunder-like roar. With
the first perception of this noise the cameIs
belonging 10 our caravan suddenly took fright,
and instantly fled in all directions, The men
and the cases were thrown off, and if one OF
The riders happened TO keep his seat at the
first alarm, he was subsequently, necessitased
to leap down, to avoid being felled by the
branches of the trees: for we were unfortunate
ly near forest Of mimosas, and every one was
in danger Of being torn by their large spines.
This confusion, however, did not last long, for
the lion took quite an opposite direction sothe
route of our caravan /; but whole day was lost
in collecting the goods that had been thrown
off, or torn down by the trees, and one of the
camels strayed to great distance.
