ufacture Of maple sugar at the present
day. 1t is az follows:
A gentleman from Athol, in this
province, acquaints us Of the great i'm
provement already made in the sugar
making business ut Bernardston, about
20 miles from that place; and as the in
gradients from which this valuable ar
tlele is produced, is spontaneous, and
purely the product of Nature, unculti-
waited by human art, it must doubtless
excite the curiosity of many to be in
formed of the particular method of
procuring it, which, as far as we could
ascertain from the gentleman is thus:
Having chosen ont large maple
tree, suitable for the purpose, they,
with an axe, box il, much after the
manner of the fir, from which turDen-
tine is obtained; this being done, a
kind of trough is prepared, extending
from the trunk of the tree on each
side, in order TO retain the sap which
runs down. BY this means upwards of
30 gallons from one tree have been OBJ
tanned in one day; which. being man
ufactured after the manner Of the sy-
rup proceeding from the sugar cane,
produces a sugar, the grain of which is
equal in firmneSS to the Jamaica, and
the molasSes, or treacle, extracted from
the pressure of the sugar, is very lit
tie, If anything, inferior 10 our West
India molasses.
Of this sugar "a small quantity
whereof was brought TO this market to
dispose of. the gentleman says, up
wards of 600 pounds was made, by one
man. the last season; i.e., from Feb
ruary to April, inclusive. 1t is the
prevalent opinion of the manufacturers
that a tree viii he serviceable for this
purpose u to II wears, with good usage.
/ When one considers the still greater
| Improvement that this discovery is
capable of, and forms to himself an
| idea of the great utility of such a
manufacture especially in country

port il. must he not wish that an ade-
quate bounty was provided, or such

no longer have recourse TO our West

this discovery, viii be as much neceSsi-
tOuS. from the want Of our lumber, a.
ever we have yet been for the want OF
their produce? III we could be further

provinces, whose opulence arises chiefly
from the most diminutiVe plants. an,

Besides the above. several hundred

within these few days past, from vi

MAYOR DEMANDS IRON RULES
TO STOP STREET ACCIDENTS
Complete Stops of Autos Near Stand
ing TrolIeys to Be Insisted Upon.

As the result Of the many accidents of
the last few days, Mayor BlankenbuTg
will hold a consultation with Director
Porter to decide upon radical measures
10 prevent avoidable fatalities.
An explanation Of laxity IN traffic dsci-
pline, which resulted in the death OF
three children yesterday and injuries 10
many pedestrians from trolleys and autos,
is demanded by the Mayor. The rule
which calls for automobiles to stop at
the near side OF all streets where trolley
cars are standing has been a joke for
many OF the more reckless drivers. This
rule will be made irOnbound
II several OF the drivers who have been
disIegarding this order are arrested and
given several days To think 1t over in
prison, the habit OF passing a trolley
car that Is at a standstill might be
broken up, and more protection given
the pedestrians, Director Porter believes.
Most OF the accidents 10 children are
caused by auto drivers running past
street corners at just the same rate OF
speed employed in the middle OF a block,
and in some instances more speed Is
added when a complete stop should be
made.
With the meeting Of the Mayor and the
Director OF Public Safety more rigid
rules favoring those who must go afoot
will be issued,

Oldring, who last year bought a farm
In South Jersey. much to the mystitica-

after tho big series is ended he will
marry Miss Hanna Thomas, daughter Of
MIR. and Mrs. Clark Thomas, who live
near Bridseton, ~ J.
The little god Of love is now dilisently
at work on the three remaining members
of the Athletics who so far have rcpused

veteran is looked upon by most Of his
teammates as confirmed bachelor, but
only time viii tell.
Strunk and Murphy arc regarded more
susceptible to the wilcs of Cupid, but
If they have been affected they are
keeping it quiet. Both are the recipients
of much badinage from their fellow
players.
The married men on the team are
Cupld's best allies. They have almost
as much influence as the Worlds Series.
Nearly every year when the Athletics
finally clnch the pennant, there have
been announcements of weddings i'm

In a lump sum seems to turn the base
ball players thoughts into domestic chan

the money.
once a ball player becomes engaged and
let's his teammates in on the secret, he
drops his attitude of secrecy and works
every moment for Cupid. At every op-
portunty he seeks out the unenEaged
men, and Gilates to them upon the joys
of life OF connubial bliss. OF course he
is laughed at sometimes, but he is i'm

The announcement of OldrinE's impend-
