ENTERPRISE We are pleased to hear that
Frederick Reybold fitted up the past season on
the farm of his mother, near Delaware CITY, a
mill, similar TO that used at the South, with the
necessary machinery, for manufacturing syrup
from the Chinese Sugar Cane. This was done
at an expense of about $3.50, and from this out
lay he has received fair return, several of his
neighbors who cultivated quantity of the cane,
paying him for crushing it and reducing the
syrupto the proper consistency. Among these
we're Clement Reeves, John Reybold, l.. J. Van
heckle, Thomas ]. Clark, and others, and they
have in the aggregate 1000 gallons of syrup
for table use, and worth some 40 or 80 cents a
gallon. We have conversed with Mr. Reeves
who is pleased with the result of the expert
ment and is of the opinion that the culture of
the cane will pay very well. lie estimates the
seed TO pay the expense of cultivation, leaving
the syrup after dedncting the charge of ten or
twelve cents per gallon for manufacturing clear
proft.-RePuJLicGn.

Public School building Burned.

Public School Building No 4, Of Brook
lyn, \. Y, corner of Concord and Navy
streets, was discovered 70 be on tire one day
last week. There were nearly 900 pupils
present at the time the fire broke out and in
the excitement attending their exit from the
building, seven boys between the ages of six
and ten years, were crushed and sgffocated
by their companions on the middle landing
Of the lower stairway. The structure was in
the form of an l., with 4 front Of o. feet on
Concord street, and the same on Navy street,
fronting the Park, and 80 feet deep. 1t was
built Of brick, three stories high The ground
floor was used for play ground, the second
floor for the primary department, and the
third floor for the grammar department.
The fire was first discovered about q o'clock
as near rs can be ascertained, by Miss H. NJ
Bebee. a teacher in the primary department,
second story, in n lathed and plastered part-
ton wall, through which passed the tin heat
ers. 1t was undoubtedly from these heaters
that the fire was communicated to the wood
work. Miss Bebee, with great presence of
mind locked the door and informed the Prin-
cipai privately of the fire. In this manner
the presence of the fire was made known to
all the teachers, and without creating any
alarm. Miss Bebee had sixty small children
under her charge, and after having notified
the Principal, she dismissed them, and they,
taking their clothes and books, left the prem
ises in very good order and without accident
All Of the children in this end Of the building
escaped without difficulty The fire spread
with great rapidity towards Navy street A
few Of the children jumped from the win
dows; only one of these however was injured
and this eRe had one of his legs brokea.
Not very many minutes had elapsed after
the first general alarm before there Was a
panic among the scholars in the Navy street
end of the building. BY this time many of
the boys had gained the street, and had been
going out in goed order, obedient to the orders
of the teachers, but when the smoke came
drifting up the stairway, and it was noised
about what the trouble was, the bows who
were behind became unmanageable, and
rushed in every direction to escape-a few to
the windows, but the majority to the Navy
street stairway. The. great rush was on the
stairs Immediately Kading to the street
These we're filed with small boys the older
ones, in their anxiety to escape, rushed upon
them until the whole space was packed with
children OF course the little enes were
pressed down under the weight and here
SEVEN boys lost their lives-not by fire or
smoke, but actually smothered to death.
