CAUrroS Look to your stovepipes, and
sec that they are safely and properly secured.
Many destructive fires have originated through
a want OF proper attention in this matter. ne
season is now approaching when stoves are in
requisi.ion, and unless great caution is obscrv-
si fires from ssaecident' may be of frequent
occurrence. a little extra care in putting up
stoves and pipes may be the means of saving
much valuable property and eyen life.

The AMENDMENTS TO THE CoSsTITUTIoS.-In
Washington county the County Commission
ers have printed tickets for and against the
psRding amendments to the Constitution, and
will distribute them to the various toz nships.
This is :Ae right course, and it onght 20 be a
Joptcd in every other county. There is no
fairness in asking or expecting individuals to
bear this expense. The people ought TO be
supplied NTH tickets from some source; and
there is no source SO proper as the officers OF

and Mr.. W iliiam Askey got on the trail OF
the thief, who had taken westward on the Erie
Pike. Some miles on this side of BrooEyille
ne had the animal shod and fed. He then
went directly to BrookvilIe, where he divcrg-
sd from the Pike, but came on 1t again some
miles on the other side. On Sunday evening

Monday morning about daylight reached Mr..
William Rodgers, six or seven miles beyond

SORGHUM, OR CHINESE SUGAR CANE--A
ssuple days since, Ellis Irwin, ESD, of this
borough, showed us a sample of Syrup made
from Chinese Sugar Cane, raised by him at
Lick Run Mills. this county, and the seeds of
which came from the Patent office. The syrup
has 4 very pleasant and palateablc taste, and
altho' merely the result of an experiment is
much more preferable than the Orleans or Su-
gar House molasses. If put through clari
fyin2 process, it would be infinitely superior
90 any syrup or molasscs that we know of. Mr..
Irwin says he prepared 4 small piece ofground,
and on the 21ih of May planted 1t in hills a.
bon. as corn is usually planted, except that he
put more seeds in the hills than should be for
corn, bat after it came up thinned it out, leav
ing net more than four plants to 4 hill, then
cultivated it the same as corn On the 23d
1it., for fear of frost, which would injure the
cane, he cat some of it. After stripping the
blades from it and saving the seeds, he cut the
stalks into short pieces, and stamped them in
4 trough, prepared fol the purpose, till all were
we'll bruised, and then pressed the juice out
by means of temporary press. Alter this,
ne strained and boiled the liquid about su-
sure of syrup from it.
Mr.. Irwin thinks the cane can be raised, and
noiasses or sugar made from it to advantage,
even in Clearficld and that for fodder it will
pass any cro. that has ever been raised for that
purpose, in the county. Cattle and horses are
very fond of it, and from the large amount of
saccharnc matter it contains, he has no doubt
it will go farther in feeding stock cattle or
horses, than either hay corn fodder.
Under ordinarily favorable circumstances.
it is supposed acre Of cane would produce
from 200 to 800 gallons of syrup. The leaves
and refuse stalks would doubtless, as fodder
and manure, pay the expenses Of cultivation,
and thus the cane would prove one of the most
profitable crops that could be cultivated.
The cane has done very well this season,
notwithstanding the lateness of the summer.
and it is to be hoped that our farmers general
" will give II trial next summer.
dir. Irwin says a few days more will mature
the seed, which he will save, and will be hap
by to supply all he for sext spring.
