Reports from this section OF Vermont
and New Hampshire indicate light sugar
crop this season. Up in Washington and
Orange counties in this state there is the
same report, and It is predicted that the
ravages Of the forest caterpillar will be
greater than ever this season. A Mont
pelier exchange says: "Sugar makers in
this locality who have formerly produced
some of the best sugar in color and flavor,
find that what they have manufactured this
season is dark colored and strong favored.
Sugar coming in from the localities which
have not been affected by these worms is
OF the same quality as usual. The theory
is that the worms in destroying the new
leaves are slowly but surely destroying the
life of the tree as does the bscilli OF con-
sumption that of the human life."

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Rev. Sylvester
Malone, pastor OF the Roman Catholic
church of Saints Peter and Paul
Brooklyn, and member of the board
of regents of tho University of New

vened at Rome for the purpose of pro-
claiming the dogma of the immaculate

mob, stirred by the political and reli-
gious passions which then fermented
Williamsburg, attacked his church and
would have burned it but for the
prompt interference of the authorities.

Father Malone hoisted a Union flag on
his church spire and there it remained
until it was taken down in order that it
might be carried to the front by Will

Sometimes Jewellers are
mistaken on the grade of

They are not sufficiently
posted on movements to
tell the grade, and fire.
quently sell a cheap-grade
movement at the price Of

1t can be seen that the
average customer IS an
