SUGAR SQUIBs.-The excitement, bother
and labor attending the closing week of the
political campaign have given US little OPP
portunity for news gathering and orr bnd-
get of information concerning operations
on sugar plantations is very meagre indeed.
We know that nearly every mill in the par
ish is under way we are rightly informed
the only ones still idle are Mr.. Kenner's
Hermitage and Mr.. Beirne's New Hope.
We have heard of no breakdowns during
the week, the nearest approach to enc
being q small leak in boiler on the Clark
place which did not compel supervision of
work. Mr.. John McPeet goes over to mend
it tomorrow. The quality of sugar being
made is very good and the yield is fair,
averaging from 1900 to 100 pounds to the
acre, and the sugar makers are being gen.
orally iastrncted to produce fine grain
and as much syrup as possible, the
market for syrup and molasses being more
favorable than that for sugar. Prices are
still down very low. and the season will not
prove profitable to many Of our planters.

When the Mason & Hamiin Company an
nounced the accomplishment of great i'm
provement in upright pianos, which they would
soon give to the public, much was expected.
because of the vast Improvements which had
been effected by them in reed instruments. and
the acknowledged superexcellence of their or
gans. These expectations are fully justified by
the pianos which they are producing, which
have extraordinary purity. and refinement of
tone. Every mechanic will see that the pecu-
liarities of their construction must add greatly
to their durability and especially their capacity
to keep in good tune.
This company have as great 9 future in their

such instruments. Boston Trurefer.

EDITOR CIrIzES:-A letter appeared Tn the Sunshine and Silver. last night. signed by ex-Deputy Sheriff Vosburg, concerning the killing of the Mexican Cruz, sometime ago, and the active part taken by Lim in capturing the murderers. The writer undertakes to contradict some statements made heretofore in your paper and coming from a man thoroughly acquainted with the matter. The fact Is, that NIT. Vosburg was kindly invited to present his resignation as Deputy Sheriff, for his inefiiciency aud for malicious proceedings in some mat ters. The fact IS, that Mr. Vosburg if he watched all night for the murderer out In the country, was led there by the friends of the murderer, and thus kept out of the way, as 1 have been informed, by some Mexicans.
 The fact Is. that NIT. Vosburg was cowardly and knocked a Mexican Ja- ques down at NOgales, after having arrested him for larceny.
 The fact l., that the man was chang ing his shirt and had 1t over his head when NOsburg struck him. The fact Is, that the FrouterIzO, a Spanish paper of this town, called tbe matter up and de- manded justice and Nr. Nosburg was very much hated for #.
 Tue fact is. that Nosburg testified against Jaqaes and the jury hung. the prisoner gave bonds with two of the most respectable citizens of thIs town as sureties, Mir. Pedro Aguirre and Mir. Samaniego, and when his trial was called up HgaIn Mr. NOsburg did not appear against him saying In these words: 'l do not want t0 appear against hIm because l have given him enough
 The fact is, that Mir. NosbuTg when he arrested thIs Mexican could not pro cure evidence enough to convict him and caused the county good deal of expense.
 The fact is, that for this and many other transactions MT. Paui discharged him and he now kicks.
 IL deputy was sent t7 Florence to procure Negro the murderer of Marcos Cruz, Mr. Nusburg does not know if; but both \. B. Appel and the writer were at Casa c ande and at Florence, and searched for ihe murderer, and Sheriff Dorau of Florence will cor robOrate me in my statement.
 The little nuisance of a paper that published Mir. Nosburg's letter also re- ferred to me, as if the railroad company | had imported me to work fer Paul If the editor of that paper Is not acquainted | with me, he should have been, because | if be does not proceed differently when | he takes my name In his paper, the | argument may use against hIm might | result altogether too strong against | his physical condition.
 Yours truly, HORACE APPEL.
