Financial Hurricane.

Our readers have heard, if they bave
ears, if not, they have read-perhaps felt:
that tremendous financial squat IS raging
.in The east and other high life ATTITUDES a
mong mighty rich men-generally effect
mo a change in their spheres and in many
cases whiring them down where they be
!ong. Fragments of the panic have struck
several of our opulent gentlemen in the
west, from whom sparks have flew, firing
of some Of the small magazines all over
The country. Whatever may be the ex'
tent Of these explosions in the future, we
have arrived at certain conclusions in our
own mind, and we give them at once,
without any roundabout coming at them
and first, the panic has just come at the
right time, not day too soon or TO late
ii has come in the midst Of plenty, snch a
harvest having just preceded as never
was known; second, its appearance IS just
before the great avalanch Of country mer-
chants annually slides off east to make
their extravagant purchases; they will
therefore purchase lightly, pay the old
score and dwell upon their old stocks IN
stead Of buying large new stocks; fourthly
people have been borrowing money at %
per cent. which is enough to sink the rich
est country in The world in a few months
they will stop borrowing because there W 4
be no money to lend-if for no other IA
Ison, or which is more probable, both COR
,owcr and !erder will break and sink 0 the
bottom where most Of them belong, and
lastly, the entire explosion, after-c .ap and
tackle, will not occupy over two or three
months and Immediately after -he whole
country will resume and be better off, rich
er, more contcnted and happier than in a
dozen years before. The only regret PEG
pie ought to have, is. th'.t several hundred
more banks do not bFe * but which will be
eobbled up for another seven years wa
upon honest me'ls' pockets. Some good
men will break, but they will gcton their
legs again. Their temporary rum will be
more than compensated BY a total annlhi-
lation Of ten times as many Internal seal
lawags who have been swindling and gam
bling and whoring and otherwise roaring
round ike devils at honest, decent mems
expense.

Forfeited Tax Lands.

The long list of forfeited Tax lands in
our paper this week deserves atteition from,
every man owning lands in the county
If you hold receipts for The year for which
the lands are advertised as forfeited, YOU
should send or bring them to Lancaster
and have the books corrected, else you NAV
have mountain of trouble and expense.
A receipt for taxes cannot Offset decd for
taxes, because deed is better evidence of
non-payment than a tax receipt is of pay
ment. The advertisement will cut off the
power Of your tax receipt as soon as the
tax deed is made. Therefore, present your
receipts if your lands are on the list for the
same year specified on receipt. Redeem
your lands at once if advertised. The pre-
sent law for deciding forfeited tax lands
will stand and tax titles will be good-not
a doubt of it in our mind.

Chinese sugar Caase.

Few persons had any confidence IN the
new Sugar Cane, though most persons II
this region planted small quantity, rath
er as an experiment-perhaps curiosity
in some cases. All doubted our soil and
climate for maturing it. The season was
short at the beginning but the latter end is
drawing it out to near an average for WIS
eepsin. With two weeks more, not OF
growing but of maturing weather-adapt
ed rather to ripening than to growing, of
warm days but not frosty nights, the sea
son will be a fair verage one, and we
think the Cane will al mature as well as
corn. A. in corn and other cereals, so IN
Cane doubtless-it acclimates, that is, by
continuing to produee-year after year
from seed raised in our soil and climate, it
will mature earlier aud otherwise assume a
nature adapted to this climate. From all
we can gather from those who have given
the Chinese Sugar Cane trial, We think
our statement Of its merits may be relied
upon as just. Mr.. VIM. W. WRIonr of
Potosi brought to our County Fair a small
quantity of Cane molasses. 1t was pro
nounced superior to the best Sugar House
molasses. MIR. Wright will make several
gallons, having prepared a rude but eff
cient mill for pressing out the juice. We
learn Mr.. EDMUND HARRISON will make
one or two barrels. These gentlemen have
much faith in the Cane, and believe it can
be raised with as much profit as any other
farm product-more at present prices Of
sugar and molasses.
