The failure of the maple sugar crop
in Vermont is the completest for ma
ny years. The depth of the snow
and the absence of sharp frosts after
the season began, limiting the time Of
the flow of sap. have together reduced
the production very much, and dam
aged the farmers some hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. Many who usu'
ally make enough for their own use
and have a surplus to sell will not have
enough to supply their own needs.

Did any one of our reders ever
think how many steps the farmer takes
in a year! Take simple planting of a
field of of corn. Take a fve-acre field.
To break il up would require walking
some forty miles; narrowing it, ten
miles; iurrowing it, twenty miles;
planting, eleven miles il with a plan
ter, and if dropped by hand and then
covered, twenty miles. Thus it will
be seen that it takes 100 miles of trav,

vesting, aud the going to and from the

The Hon LICENSE .SYsTEM.-Re-
ferring to the workings of the high
license system in Lincoln, Nebraska, a
prominent liquor dealer in that city
recently said: 1--WE get along better
under the new system. With a pop
ulation of over 10000, the city has
only eleven saloons. If the license
were reduced to 500 per year there
would be from fifty to seventy Eve sa.
looms, perhaps more. With such
competition, the saloons would neces-
sarily be very shabby, and besides
there would be little or no money
made by anybody. As it is now, we
make money"
In Joliet, H., the license fee was
raised a year ago from $50 to $500 a
year with the result Of reducing the
number of licenses from l07 to 60,
while the receipts Of the city treasury
from that source rose from $3.50 to
$4,000 with a great decrease in
drunkenness

to use column in your paper, will give
you and your readers few items from Old

of interest to some.
We will speak first of our farming COM
munity. At one time this was considered
to be one Of the poorest: now we claim that
it will rank with any. Farms that once sold
for from IS to $40 per acre, now change
hands at from $50 to 800. Farms on which
was formerly raised from to 10 bush els of
wheat per acre, now produce 20 to 30 BUSH
els. Farmers, who years ago never thought
of feeding cattle now engage in it, feeding
from five to twenty-five cad.
Look at the Tax Books and you will find
that it is one of the first to pay up its taxes
and taking everything in conside ration, We
claim that our community has improved
more, or as much, as any in Frederick Coun-
ty. Why is it, that when farm is for sale
here. We always have buyer from some
wellto.do section?
WE'LL admit that we have no limestone
yet lift is red-land, it, without question pro.
duces as we'll as some of the limestone

it has two stores, as good as any in the
county, in proportion to the size Of the place

Our hotel has been very much improved
and an addition built in which is placed the
bar room, conducted by Mr.. B. Keefer, and
we can truly say that he keeps an orderly
house and has been doing well since he took
charge of it.
We have one among the best of physicians
Dr.. J. w. Devilbss; he has fine practice
and has in connection Herewith an cxcellcn,
drug store, which adds very much to the
convenience Of our people
In connection with the hotel, Mr. H. J
Krise is extensively engaged in droving and
besides owns a huckster route, over which he
makes weekly trip.
We have three shoemakcrs and every one
busy.
We have two congregations, the joint
church, Lutheran and Reformed is very
prosperous. Rev. Mr. Hedges, pastor of the
Lutheran congregation has resigned to &C
cept q call at MELVILLE, Pa. and the congre.
CATION is without a pastor at this time
The Sunday School is larger than it has
been for years and in now preparing for its
Christmas anniversary, which will take place
on Christmas night.
The Church of God began n protracted
meeting last night, which was well attended.
1t will continue during the week. Mr. Abra-
ham Andcrs died last week of cancer of the
face he was buried at Rocky Ridge on Sat-
