The seasons business at the maple sugar
testing station is drawing To close. While
the average yield has been smaleR than last
year, the numb + of licensed producers has
been seventy per cent greater In the dis
trict of New Hampshire, which includes the
state of Vermont, there were $3.50 licensed
producers this year. Over $1,000 samples
have been received at the Montpelier test
ing station, which represent about 1000 600
pounds of sugar, of which less than 100000
pounds will test below eighty degrees and
fail of the bounty Nearly if not quite
$4,000 will be paid producers in the New
Hampshire district this year for bounties.

have sent blank applications for the season

clusion OF news item that must have been
of interest TO the readers Of that paper
IT is pretty generally known that 7 C.
Barrows and George w Reed by their long
experience during their annual visits to the
nshlng grounds OF the Dead River country
in Maine, have become experts in casting a
fly, but 1t was news TO the WATCHMAN scribe
To learn, during chance visit to Mr.. Bar
rows pleasant home on Elm street, one day
last week, that they manufacture their own
flies, and OF quality, too, equal, if not SUI
perior, TO any that can be bought where the
manufacture of such goods is a speciality
Both these gentlemen have been devoting
some OF their spare time of late to making
flies preparatory to their annual visit in July
| to the wilds of Maine. where they have been
every year since 1876. Over two hundred flies,
/ comprising more thau dozen varieties, that
had been made by Mr.. Barrows were shown
the reporter, and the display was so at

but speaks French tiuently and writes an
excellent hand. He gave the name of
George Houed, and says he lately came to
this country from France. He was sem
