The time for making maple sugar draws
near and granulated sugar selling at if
teen cents per pound. This ought to
wake up those who have maple trees to
have everything in readiness. 1t is mono
too soon; no time to lose; have the buck
cts ready, sweet and clean as they can
be, furnaces ready for the fire, evaporat-
ing apparatus all clean and ready. Save
all Of the sap, strain or filter the syrup
when very thin through nice cotton fill
ter. If you use metallic spouts and buck
cts, as the season advances you may look
out for the galvanic action of the sun pro-
ducing very unpleasant taste. The man
who causes two blades Of grass to grow
where there was but one is said to be a
bencfactor; then to double the quantity
of sweet here in Vermont would certainly
be praise-worthy industry. We certain
ly can do very much in that direction. 1t
does seem as though the stimulus was
sufficient; an extra amount of nice sugar
would bring money into the State, and
help and benefit every other industry.
tell you, friends and citizens of Vermont,
we are not more than half awake in this
matter to the best interests and honor of
our State. The best of maple trees, all
thrifty and right, are unused, which is all
wrong. Think just a moment what a
mighty industry sugar making is in the
world-the cane, the beet, the sorghum
and the maple. The Cubans fight, and
the bad passions in the southern portion
of our own land are not altogether favor
able to the cause of industry. In view of
all this let us go in for maple. T.

A quite remarkable winter this has been
even in this latitude, to continue through
so great portion of the season allowed
for our winters without genuine thaw.
To be sure we have passed through ordeals
fully equal, but they are the exception, not
the rule. We have had some excellent
weather, comfortably warm with cloud
less, cerulean skies, the sun diffusing just
enough warmth to start the snow in
favored localities with few dashes of
rain; still, genuine thaao we have not
had, and present indications point to its
further delay. Neither has the winter
given us any Of the terrific days peculiar

East Concord.

East Concord.
Certain parties at East Concord lately
got up an oyster supper and advertised it
so carelessly CD in an adjoining town as
to leave all under the impression that it
was for the benefit of the Methodist
church. This may have been blunder,
but it looks very much like a trick. II
these parties do not wish to be accused of
getting money under false pretenses, we
advise them to be a little more explicit in
advertising.
The new Methodist church is nearly
finished, and will probably be dedicated
in the month of March. 1t is q very
handsome church and seems to please all.
The creditors of o. f. & c. w. Russell
met at West Concord, Tuesday, 9th inst.
An effort was made to compromise at
twenty-five, cents on the dollar, and near
ly all Of the creditors were willing to
settle on those terms; however, there
were some who refused to accept the
proposition, and in consequence the meet
ing adjourned sine die, and petition in
bankruptcy has been filed. Their liabil-
tiles are said to be about $4,000, and it
is doubtful if the creditors realize more
than five per cent on their claims.

MISSIONARIES FROM INDIA.

Although the light OF the Bible
streams brightly over the whole civil
lized world, it's rays even penetrating
the dark abodes of the savage tribes,
there are yet believers in other religions
who not only regard their Own faith as
the one true faith, but consider it part
of their sacred duty even to convert
Christians to their belief. OF such are
the Brahmins OF India, and 1T Is a re-
markable TACT that they are at the pres
ent time organizing foreign missions for
the conversion of Christians, society
for this purpose having been formed
among the Hindus of the sacred city Of
Benares.
1t is related that Brahmin of high
renown and O. fgreat authority, Suradschi
by name, spent some time in extensive
travels through the English colonies.
He tarried for quite a period in Austria
liza, and here he Witnessed so many OF
the degrading effects of intemperance
among the' Christian inhabitants that
his heart was sorely troubled. He re-
turned to India, appalled, and grieved at
the state Of affairs, and stbaightway
called a council Of his wise and thought
full brethren to whom he communicated
the sorrowful facts and impOrtuned
them to aid Him in saving these
fellow men from the degradation into
which they groveled. He suggested
plans for the accomplishment OF this
purpose, but the only perfect remedy, as
all considered, would be the complete
conversion OF these Christians to apurer
and better faith. Only by propagating
Brahminism among this fallen people,
he maintained, can we hope to COM
pletey eradicate intemperance. His
ideas were adopted, collection was set
