The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1862-10-17

maps Of the several States are large and
minute. the roads being distinctly traced,
each township marked and every place
that has been OF any note during the
present war carefully located. The forts
--those erected during the present war,
as well as those previously existing--are
all marked and named, and in addition
there is large military map for this es-
pecial purpose. An examination has
proved that in all these matters the infor-
nation has been brought down--not to
last year or the year before, but to tie
present time. There are over one hum
dred finely executed steel plate maps and
plans in this atlas, among them being en-
larged plans of Southern harbors and
cities. Besides these, and the large amt
of descriptive letter press, there is com
prehensive and cleaIly written treatise on
Physical Geography, copiously illustrated
with engravings. maps and charts. The
treatise covers the whole ground of land
and its phenomena. atmosphere and its
phenomena. electricity and its phenom
ena, plants, animals, and man. This
treatise is not the least valuable part CT
the work.
The superiority of such an Atlas as
this over even the best wall map can be
seen at glance. as it admits of larger and
capies less space.
&. B. johnson, the agent for the work
will call on the citizens of Up Sandusky.
during the present week to solicit subscrip
tions. It is also his intention to canvass
| the county We cordially recommend
the ATLAS as the best publication of the
kind we have seen.
Having examined Johnson's Family
Atlas, we recommend it to all who desire
work of this kind.

Sorghum Molasses.
In trip connected with our official
business as Assistant Assessor, which we
made last week through parts of Mifflin,
Marseilles and jackson Townships, we
were struck with the large quantity OF
sorghum cane that we met with ,and which
our farmers we're busily engaged in strip
ing, cutting and preparing it for the mill.
At Marselles, we called upon our clever
friend Robert Mitchell, and found him
busiy engaged in the grinding Of Sor-
ghum cane, and the manufacture of mo-
lasses. A Il matter OF course we lei;
like inspecting the quality of the manu-
featured article, and confess that we were
surprised to find it, according to our judg-
ment, equal to the best Golden Syrups
manufactured at our sugar re6nervs.
MI. Mitchell's evaporation seems to an
swer the purpose to a fraction, and with
very little help, so simple is the process,

fall's work. 400 gallons of molasses. Ii
other portions of the county have upon
the same scale, turned their attention to
the cultivation of sorghum, there will
alone in this county be produced upwards
of $500 to 5000 gallons of molasses.-
This new production in the north must
revolutionize the sugar and molasses mar
ket, and have the effect of reducing the
price upon those two articles, which are
so essential in every household. We re.
turn our thanks to friend Robert, fo1 the
gallon Of molasses presented to us, and
we assure him when chance calls US thai
way again, we will call and inspect his
molasses making machine.
