occurred at Oswcgo, New York, upon Lake
Ontario, a region famous for such storms, oc-
cured on Friday, the lst inst. The rail roads
stopped running, the window shutters of the

sable, the snow ranging from four to ten and
twenty feet in depth, and in some places the

"epistle." to give your readers some items
relative to the culture of the Sugar Cane
shall confine myself to the statement oil ie"
facts, leaving the reader to make his own IN
ferences. l presume the majority oil your
patrons are acquainted with the process by
which the sugar is manufactured from the
cane after it is matnred. Suffice it to say, in
thi. respect, that ii is similar to. that by which

enphatically the Sugar Parish" producing
more sugar than any other Parish in the
State, as shown by reliable statistics. But
what particularly design to notice in this
communication is some facts relative to the
profits arising from the culture Of the cane.
A good field hand usually costs from one
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars, accord
ing to quality, and will cultivate, besides
corn sufficient to keep up his team, about ten
arpents of cane, (the French arpent being
little less than the English acre. which yields
from one 10 two hogsheads of sugar. and from
seventy five to one hundred gallons Of molas
SEES, per arpent. Sugar varies from thirty to
seventy five dollars per hogshead, aud molas
ses from ten to thirty cents per gallon. As
sumipg then, one and half hogsheads of
sugar as the average yield per arpeh;, and
fifty dollars as the average price per hogs
head; eighty gallons rnolasses as the average
yield per arpent, and twenty cents per gallon
as the price, aud taking twelve hundred and
