The farmers Of Vermont are very busy
with theirlmapie sugar making. The season
is favorable, and the best trees give down at the
rate of three gallons day, which is the amount
required to make pound of sugar. The sap, as
it comes from the tree, is perfectly colored and
the sap if it can be caught and evaporated, with
out bringing it in contact with vessels imparting
stains for tubs or boilers, it will make coloress
and perfectly pure sugar.

HARD TINES IN VERMoNT-A letter from
MONTPELIER says: "Trade this season has been
unusually dull here-mnch more so even than
during the panic winters of 1878 The princi-
pal reason, so far as the causes originate in the
country is the holding back of produce by the
farmers, who seem to think that prices must
rise. The consequence is, that the great bulk
of the dairy products of all this section of the
State, are now on hand; but they must now be
brought in soon, or the losses of the owners will
be their sufficient punishment for hefolly which
has not only injured themselves, but many 9TH
ers."

A RIVER OF OIL,

There is one considerable sized creek
running through Trumbull county which
is all oil. 1t was discovered a short
time ago in singular manner. Three
boys went in bathing and when they
came out were SO greasy they couldn't
stay in their clothes. AS fast as they
slipped them on they would slip off
again, and one of the lads, in needless
moment narrowly escaped slipping out
of his skin. On reaching home, their
parents being exceedingly frugal, wrung
them out and extracted about fourteen
gallons of pure OH from the three boysi
Fact. A company are erecting a large

Am Oily Letter from the Oil
Springs.

The great oil spring excitement in
Pennsylvania has creased the pen of a
correspondent of the Sandusky Regss-
ter, who contributes the following olea-
ginous and unctuous epistle to that pa
per. His story runs as "slick as grease"
"knocks the spots out" of all other ac-
counts that have been given of the oily
region. His pen slips along as follows:
Dear Register.-Every thing about
here is so greasy and oily it is with ex-
treame difficulty that can write at all.
My pen slips out of my fingers there
is an oily scum on the ink ; the paper is
fairly transparent, and slush around

oil is unnecessary here) will however,

AN OILY TRACK.
l arrived here at very late hour last
night on an oil train, and might as well
have come on train OIL, as we were six
teen hours behind time. All trains are
behind time here, / learn owing to the
accumulation of oil on the track at this
end Of the road. The oil fries out of
the ground and lubricates the rails for
a great distance. We shouldn't have
arrived here at all, if the passengers
hadn't got out and sprinkled the track
with cigar ashes.
l slipped out of bed nobody s'arises"
here we all slip into bed and slip out,)
at an early hour this morning and began
my investigations. I found section
embracing fourteen thousand acres of
land chuck full of oil springs.
HOW THE WOMEN FRY DoUaH-NUTs.
Drilling is unnecessary here as the oil
boils UP in springs, sometimes to the
hight of twenty five feet. and is caught
in tin pals as it comes down. On hot
day, | am told, is no unusual thing to
see the women frying doughnuts in
5hese jets of oil. The balls of dough
ire dropped into the jets where they
ire allowed to toss about like corks in
4 fountain, until thy are fried by the
neat of the sun.
