The Sugar Maple md Maple Sugar.

IFrom the BOst0n Mail, March B.
This tree fourishes throughout the most of North
America. Its height is sometimes 100 feet. 1t is
highly ornamental, and loves cold climate. 1t
makes the best of fuel Its great excellence consists
in yielding for the manufacture of vast quantities
Of maple sugar in tho country during the months of
spring. An open winter, constantly freezing and
thawing, is forerunner Of bountiful crop of sugar
An orchard of maple trees is almost equal to field
of sugar cane of the same area in the production of
sugar. This tree reaches the age Of 200 years. The
statistics Of the United States census for 1850 show
that about thirtyfour millions Of pounds Of maple
sugar were manufactured in that year.
Of the twenty-seven States in which this sugar is
manufactured, Maine produced 1892 ,427 lbs; Yer
mont5 l59 Gal lbs; New York 10 $40 744 lbs; Penn
sylvania 218 Gal lbs Virginia ,223 ,908 lbs; Ohio
1928 54s lbs; Michigan 2,423997 lbs; Indiana
1921 ,63S lbs. These the largest producers Yer
mont makes by far the largest quantity in proportion
to its territory.
In addition to this large yield Of maple sugar in
the States the Indians east Of the Mississippi river
make annually 10000 900, and those west Of the
river 1000 900 lbs The maple sugar product Of the
Canadas in 184a, is stated as follows -
Upper Canada. .....,... ............ .4160667 lbs
Lower Canada. .................... 23O3, i6o IDS
Besides the above sugar crop there was yield by
the sugar maple in the United states, in 1850. Of
10000 900 gallons Of maple molasses.
This is good maple sugar weather, and the sap is
running freely now. The fresh article will soon be

Iron TRApR OF GREAT BRnAIy-PRgsYyr PRODUCTION
I...alL MI.

The recent rise in the market value Of iron must
give great impetus to its production, and we have
no doubt the returns for 1853 will show on important
Increase. In this country an impulse Of some conse-
quence has been given to the business. In Essex
county of this State particularly the manufacturers
are quite active. The fires which have for several
years been extnguishcd in the furnaces and rolling
mills have been re-kndled. There is brisk de.
mand for ore and BEDS and high prices have been
demanded for favorable locations.
A report Of the Committee on Mining and Smelt-
ing was recently made to the Wisconsin Legislature,
from which we find that the average amount of lead
raised annually, for eleven years. from ls4l to 1852,
inclusive was Al ,727 OPS pounds. according to the
following Agures:--

Claims Before Congress.


TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Sr-In your paper Of yesterdays date, notice is
taken of the passage, on the Sd instant OF bill for
my relief under the heading Of Extensive Revolu-
tionary Claims Granted and the notice ends with
the following paragraph =" 1t is said the bill covers
up an appropriation Of $780, 0O." Couple the above
with the remarks of Mr.. Allison, of Pa. (given in
the same notice., to wit =" Asked whether the bill
was Of such character as would not bear inspec-
tom"
Now, sir this notice Of the matter is exceedingly
unjust and conveys impression of fraud which the
HERALD ought not to have uttered (withOut some
foundation upon evidence) in the face OF the
fact that the bill argued at length in the Senate,
aud throughout its course in Congress received the
ardent support Of every member OF both houses from
the State Of South Carolina; and members from that
State are known the world over, not to be abettors
of frauds upon the public treasury. Moreover, the
appropriation is less than $50 0O0 and is specific in
stead Of covering up $4,000 alleged by your cor
respondent. But to explain the matter more fully,
beg you to give an insertion to the enclosed article
taken from the National inteLigencer Of this city,
and will conclude by referring to the votes on the
passage-Nays As; yeas l22-for an index of the
truth and feeling excited in favor of the cases. to

apprised by telegraph that Burke was probably on
the boat. He, however, discoveringthem, again hid
himself in the hold, and being observed, efforts were
made to find him, but he managed to elude them The
