We trust every maple sugar maker will
read Dir. Moseley's letter which is printed
on our 4th page today. We believe Mr..
Moseley is right in thinking there is less
adulteration Of the crop than formerly.
Indeed, we believe the enactment of the
law against aduteration has done away
with the evil so far as it ever existed. Pub.
lie sentiment is strongly against the prac.
tice, and the Maple Sugar exchange prom
ises to prosecute any offender in this re
spect who comes to its notice.

Hon, Chauncey NJ. Depew appeared be.
fore the senatorial committee last Saturday
with a brilliant argument, such as only Mr..
Depew can make, in favor of New York as
the location for the Worlds fair. His
strongest point was scored by demonstrat-
ing that in and around New York are
5000, 900 people who can get to the fair by
an expenditure for the trip of from five
cents to two dollars, and that it is upon
such vast, dense surrounding population
that great exposition must in the main de-
pend if it is TO he successful OF the 30. -
600, 900 visitors to the Paris exposition less
than 5000, 600 came from outside the CITY
of Paris. The other 1000, 600 were Paris
ians, who went to the fair day after day
because it was easy of access to them. New
York has this essential for the fairs sue
cess-a great population within easy reach
ing distance-in degree which does not
begin to be approached by any of her COM
petiUors.
A bill has been introduced into Congress
for the payment of the sum of S13, $50 to
the personal representatives of the late
Capt, john Erickson, with interest from
February, 1857, which is intended to close
the pecuniary account of the government
with the engineer to whose great abilities it
owes so much that can never be expressed
in figures. The amount is the remainder
Of what he charged for planning the war
ship Princeton, and experimenting the con
struction of her machinery-the Princeton
being the first war vessel that ever carried
its machinery below the water line, and
thus marking an era in naval construction.
The sum of $3.50, it appears, was paid him
on account, but the court of claims, to
which was referred the remainder of his bill
decided in 1857 that it was just. A com
mittee of Congress- in view of this decis-
ion, promptly reported in favor of the APP
propration but there the matter ended. II
seems strange that more than thirty years
Of neglect should have ensued, and that
the eminent engineer should have died
without the satisfaction of knowing that
the country had treated him with what he
considered simple justice.
The Mugwump papers are disturbed be-
cause Senator Edmunds had some fun"

hasn't been indicted for the "blocks of FIVE"
letter Mr. Edmunds exposed, in his dry,
mercless way, the sham of the Democratic
show Of horror over the suspicion of polit-
zeal crookedness, and he made even the
Democrats laugh when he defined the true
Democratic doctrine as free ballot aud

can be had with safety" The Voorhees,

Geo. VI. Highly brought suit last Satur-
day against Bailey Il Miner TO recover the
sum Of Sljj, which he claims to be due
him from them on account of the recent
sale OF his house. Mr. Highly claims that.
at the time he sold and decided his house 20
Mr. Miner for $500 on Monday, Dec. 80,
Bailey x Miner had in effect sold the house
to IL G. Squires, who now owns it, for
S27oO. Mr.. and Mrs Squires looked at the
house on Saturday evening, the 2Sth Of
December, were favoraby impressed with
it, and were to decide over Sunday wheth
err they would take it, letting Bailey 4
Miner know on Monday morning Bailey
x Miner claim that when Monday morn
ing came nothing was heard from Mr.
Squires, and therefore, on account of Mr.
Higby's urgent wish to sell the house be
fore Jan. LIST, Mr.. Miner offered 10 take il
at $500, the firm telling Mr.. Highly at the
same time that customer could probably
be found at better price within few
days Mr.. and Mrs. Squires state, how
ever. that having decided TO take the
place, Mr.. Squires went To Bailey * Miners
office early on Monday morning and told
them he would take it, and signed paper
agreeing to do so, at the price Of $2700
Mr. Higby's claim is founded upon the fact
which the statement of Mr. and Mrs
Squires seems to establish, that the firm had
this agreement and document in their pos
session when, few hours later, Mr. Miner
bought the house for $500. The commits
sion on the sale was TO he So 50 that, if
the sale had been at $1,000 Mr.. Highly
would have received S2G25. As it was he
paid Mr.. Bailey $50 as his personal share
of the commission, leaving S2i10 net, aud
it is the difference between these two sums,
or Slj5, which Mr.. Highly claims c. B.
Eddy Of Bellows Falls is Mr. Higby's law
yer and the writ is returnable to morrow.
In addition TO the claim mentioned above,
Bailey x Miner now make the claim,
as We understand that as Mr. Highly
tried to sell the house to Mr. Miner individ-
ually on the 2Sth of December, their con
nection with him as agents was then at an
end, and that afterward it was simply pri-
vate matter of bargain and sale between
the parties
