FIRST MAPLE SUGAR.-The nportant discovery
that sugar can be made from the maple tree has
been attributed to New England, and its date fixed
far back 1865, in article which has gone the
rounds of the press. This statement has called
forth unanimous indignant and patriotic protest
on the part of the French Canadian press and with
pleasure give currency to their claim for prior
ity of discovery. They state that maple sugar was
in general use in Canada previous to the Revolu-
ton, and long before Dudieys Register recorded in
1865, its first manufacture in New England. In
deed, the Jesuit priest Charleroix, in his history of
New France (Canada) wrote early as 1921 an ac-
count of the process by which the sugar was obtain
ed stating that the sugar was unknown to the In
dams, thus favoring its French origin. All honor,
then, to the French Canadians for the maple sugar,
unless our New England contemporaries have re-
cords to substantiate their claim beyond the year

THRILLING INcIDENT.-During the examination
of the cases of alleged frauds upon the Pension Of
flee, at Rochester, quite an exciting incident
red. Captain Minor, veteran of the war of 1912,
a very intelligent old gentleman, was introduced as
a witness. He was shown one of his old pay rolls
by Mr.. Perkins, clerk of the Pension Office at
Washington and asked if he recollected several of
his soldiers whose names were pointed out to him
upon it. He readily answered that he did.
Question by the District Attorney. Do you re-
collect soldier in your company by the name of
Barrenger?
Answer. do, very we'll.
Question. Would you know that man now?
Answer. l do not think ] should; it is long
time since have seen him-more than forty years.
Commissioner Conkling then called upon Barren
ger, who was in the room among the witnesses from
Tioga county. to stand up. He rose in a distant
respect a soldier and bowed respectfully to his old
captain, who. after viewing him for a moment, shook
his head obviously, and said II do not recollect
him." and added: Gentlemen it is long time
since have seen him. 1t Is forty sic gears this
Gerry day since led with my company the Ameri.
can army of three thousand men into sacketts
Harbor."
In a moment, without regard to time or place, or
the fitness of the occasion, spontaneous cheer loud
and long, broke from the audience There stood,
Unexpectedly to each other the two old soldiers face
to face, who had, almost half a century ago. march
ed shoulder to shoulder to the frontier to defend
their country from an invading foe. They had met
now for the first time since then and that upon the
anniversary of that patriotic action. So sudden and
sympathetic was the expression, that the worthy
Marshal, COL Jewett, allowed his patriotism to get
the start of his love of order and decorum and for
got to rap with his usual promptness And the face
of the good natured commissioner Mr.. Conkng,
seemed more smiling than ever, and to us appeared
more expressive of satisfaction than of anger. The
last of the old soldiers after the adjourn
ment of the court, when they were together in the
midst of circle of people fighting over their old
battles Utica Daily Observer.

rates have not yet been published by the company.
This of will be done as soon as practicable
and then we shall endeavor to keep our Western
friends posted in freight rates on both roads. As
vast quantities of produce and merchandise are
tnually passing road for parties West, and
as the line is growing more popular every day, We
can say for the benefit Of all concerned, that the
rates road, as at present charged, are in
tended to correspond with the charges the North
Carolina Road. We know they are not higher, and
We have heardparties, from up the country say, who
have had freghts carried both roads, that they
are much lower.
No wonder the people of the West are getting
tired Of the Portsmouth route and are shipping by
Newbern, when the difference in freight charges and
dispatch is considered.-Daily Progress

extraordinary Cotton Picking" had at the IS Stra-

Thirty.two Hands" picked sixteen thousand and
ninety six pounds Q6, 096 Ib)- being an average Of
503 l6s--the highest, imam named Herbert, picked
one thousand and sirtv seuen pounds-the four high.
est averaged seven hundred and sevea.nne, and one
fourth pounds-the fourteen highest. averaged six
hundred and nine and one half pounds.
The hands commenced at o'clock A. NJ, and
stopped at o'clock P. NJ, except the man Herbert
who continued foriyve minutes longer, it being the
time required for the wagons to make . load from
the field to the sGin House, and return for q Sec
ond load. At the time when the other hands stop
ped Herbert had about thousand and twenty. five
pounds. During the afternoon Herbert picked
seventy seven pounds in ffty-ive minutes, and it
was not known to him that the cotton picked in the
time would be weighed separately. This was picked
and weighed in the presence of Messrs. Jesse Mer-
Ger, Elisha CROMWELL r. H. Pender, J. L. Bridgers,
R. R. Bridgers and H. C. Dixon The hands picked
in sacks, one end attached to the body by strap
over the left shoulder and the other end resting on
the ground. Each one empted the cotton out of the
sacks into baskets which contained, when filled
from seventy five to one hundred and fifty pounds.

what famous case Of Mrs. Bodgen's will, which was
tried in the Supreme Court some years ago, Mr..
Webster appeared as counsellor for the appellant
Mrs. Greenough, wife of Rev. VIM. Greenougb, late
of West Newton. tall, straight, queenly looking
woman, with keen black eye-a woman of great
selfpossesson and decision OF character-was called
to the stand as a witness the opposite side from
Mr.. Webster. Webster, at glance, had sagacity to
foresee that her testimony if it contained anything
OF importance, would have great weight with the
court and jury. He therefore resolved if possible
to break her up. And when she answered to the
first question put to her, 81 believe Webster
roared out "We don't want to hear what you be-
lieve; We want to hear what you know" Mrs.
Greenough replied, That is just what was about
to say. sir, and went on with her testimony And
notwithstanding his repeated efforts to disconcert
her, she pursued the even tenor of her way until
Webster, becoming quite fearful of the result arose
apparently in great agitation. and drawing out his
large snuff box, thrust his thumb and finger to the
very bottom and carrying the deep pinch to both
nostris, drew it up with gusto; and then extract
ing from his pocket very large handkerchief which
flowed to his feet as he brought it to the front, he
blew his nose with a report that rang distinct and
loud through the crowded hail. Webster Mrs
Greenough, was Mrs. Bodgen neat woman?' Mrs.
Greenough-'I cannot give you very full informa-

TIE ATLANTIC CABLE-The latest intelligence
from the cable is worse than discouraging. Prot
Thompson, the present superintendent is satisfied
that water has reached the conducting wire, impair
ing the insulation and thus putting an end to the
transmission of ineligible signals 1t is believed
by the electricians that the interruption exists not
less than two hundred and twenty miles from W. va
lentia, and it is surmised, with great probability
that eral fractures may have occurred So strong
is the belief in England that the cable is failure
that shares have declined to a very low figure.
If, upon further investigation, these facts arc .
really found to exist there is very little hope Of 'nen
removal for it will be utterly impossible to I't !ns

it, 1t is true that the cable might be raised near
