A VERY fine sample of sorghum sugar
was left at the HERALD Office, recently,
| by Mr.. j. w. Vedder, of Hurricane
Grove, which will repay an examination
by those interested in the production of
ills article. Mr. Vedder was under the
impression that this was the first of this
kind of sugar that had ever been pro-
| duced in the county. In this, however,
he is mistaken, if THE HERALD is in
formed correctly, sorghum sugar was
made by party in Wyalusing, some
years ago, and exhibited at the Bloom
ington fair. Many believe, and among
them Mr.. Vedder, that within the next
decade experiments will have pro-
crossed so far as to allow of the manu-
facture of crude sugar in such quantities
as to prove a serious rival to the South
ern sugar producing States. Should
such prove to be the fact, it will work a
great change in agriculture in the West
and North Western States.
THERE appears no slackening in the
epidemic of petty thefts which has been
raging in this city for some time past,
Last Monday evening thieves broke into
the confectionery store of Mr.. j. 0.
Bartlett and took there-from about
dozen cans of oysters, large invoice of
crackers and good sample of the cigars
in stock, and then decamped leaving no
traces whereby those desiring to form
their closer acquaintance could do so.
This is the second time Bar Clett has suf-
fered from raids of this kind In the
present instance the members of the
gentle craft first broke into the wagon
shop of Mr.. John Pollock, where they
obtained a brace and bit, and with this
cut hole in the back door of Bartlett's
store large enough to enable them to re-
move the fastening and affect an en-
trance. As in the first case so in this,
the operators wound their feet with rags
in order to prevent their tracks being
recognized and deaden the sound of
their movements. To an outsider it
looks as if little more active exertion
on the part of the law officers would
result in coraling these ambitious aspir-
ants for penitentiary honors.
