The farmers of Vermont and New Hamp
shire have made but little maple sugar thi
season. The shortage, however, is fully
made up by enterprIsing manufacturers In

| There is craze for cotton-man ufacturing
in South Carolina, and numerous schemes
are on foot for the erection of mills. A late
number of the Charleston Courier gave the
details concerning four such enterprises, for
which efforts are being made to obtain the
requisite capital.
a man on Cow creek, Tuolumne county,
says the Reno Gazette, is making money

medicine, and they pay large price for it.

Most of the halfhardy popular varietiea
are probably done for but happily the IRON
clads have come safely through. These and
prospective Russian kinds must, it is
thought, be the future resources, though
some say that many of the trees supposed
to be fatally injured, may recover.
1t appears by the consular reports that

The activity in trade on the Pacific coast,
which has been a gratifying feature of the

"The rush of merchandise to Oregon and
Washington territory" says The San
Francisco Commercial Herald Of late

The largest sale Of Georgia gold land ever
made has just been contaminated in Lon

Curtis, of Washington, d. G., the repre-

1t is estimated that Washington territory
will, this year. send abroad 1855, 900, 600 feet
of lumber, 200 600 tons of coal, 2OO,OOO
pounds of hops, 200, 900 cans of salmon. o..
600, 600 bushel of wheat, 100000 bushel OF
oats, 100, 900 bushes oil potatoes, and 500.
900 pounds of wool. In cargoes of 1,hlO
tons each, this quantity of produce would
load over nine hundred large ships. or
three every day of the year, except Sun
days. 1000

Weld is 100, 600 900, of which 100000 are
reserved for reproduction, 10, 900 600 are lost
by disease or accident, and $4,000, 600 are
marketed. The sale of fowl, and eggs
realizes about $40 ,O00, 000 in the year. But
all this does not satisfy France, and the
Journals devoted to poultry interests are
pointing out now the industry can be
auadrupled. and effort in that direction is
to be undertaken.
The Cincinnati Price Current says: 1.-THE
prospects for good yield of fruit this SET,
son are exceptionally good in nearly all
parts of the country. The early cherries in
this vicinity were greatly injured, if not ut
terly destroyed, by late FROST but the later
cherries, the peaches, and the pears were
only thinned out, leaving enough fruit Tor
the trees to properly mature. Plum trees
are well-iruited now, and apple trees are
loaded to their full capacity. In east Ten.
nessee there is promise of full crop OF
peaches, and in Georgia early peaches are
already ripe, and the yield will be a full av,
erege. Even the Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey peach orchards are in excep'
tonably good condition.; scarcely com
plant has come from there this season,
which is the more remarkable because the
crop is generally reported to be destroyed
several times during the spring, but finally
comes up smiling and blushing with beauty
ard fragrance. to the tune of 5000 600 or
100000 bushels. Pennsylvania, New
York and Michigan report good fruit pros
poets, but in the northwest the indications
are less favorable, but not seriously discour..
