CLEARFIELD, PA., SEPT. CO,: 1857.
SoBGHlat, OK ClIINESB StCAR CASE. A
vuplo days since, Ellis Irwia, Es.i., of this
borough, showod us a sample of Syrup made
from Chinese Sugar Cane, raised by bini at
Lick Run Mills, this county, and the seeds of
which camu from the Patent office. The syrup
has a very pleasant and palatcablc taste, and
altoo' merely the result of an experiment is
mnch more preferable than the Orleans or Su
gar IIouso molasses. If put through a clari
fying process, it would be infinitely superior
to any syrup or molasses that we know of. Mr.
Irwin says he prepared a small piece of ground,
and cn the 27th of May planted It in hills a
bcc.1 as com is usually planted, except that he
put more seeds in the hills than should be for
ccrji, I ut after it came up thinned it out, leav
ing net more than fonr plants to a hill, then
cultivated it the same as corn. On the 2od
lt.t for fear of frost, which would injure the
c-auo, be cut somo of it. After stripping the
Wad from it and saving the seeds, he cut the
stalks into short pieces, aud stamped thorn in
n, trough, prepared foi the purpose,ti!l all were
well bruised, and then pressed the juice out
hy . means of a temporary press. Alter this,
iie strained and boiled the li luid about as su
gr r?3i v.atcr is managed in the manufac
tnra of syrup from it.
Mr. Irwiu thinks the cane can be raised, and
tnoiasses or sugar li'sJc from it to advantage,
vn In Cleartiold,and that fur fodder it will sur
pass any crct that has ever been raised for that
purpo?;, in the county. Cattle and horses are
rry fond of it, and from the large amount of
saccharin' tmilter it contains, lie has no doubt
it will go farther in feeding stock cattle or
iiors8, than cither hay or corn fodder.
Under ord:mrily favorable circumstances,
it is supposed an acre of cane would produce
from 200 to oOO gallons ot syrup. The leaves
and refuse stalks would doubtless, as fodder
.and manure, pay the expenses of cultivation,
and thus the cane would prove one of the most
profltable crops that could be cultivated.
The cane has done very well this season,
notwithstanding the lateness of the summer,
and it is to be hoped that our fanners general
ly will give it a trial next summer.
iir. Jrwin says a few days more will mature
the stod, which he will save, and will be hap
py to supply all he can for aext spring.
Stolek IIosse Recovered. SlvfoskoTiiiff
Ciiqht. In our last paper we stated that a
line marc had been stolen from Mr. William L
Wilson, of Boggs township, this county, on
the night of the 18th. The next morning pur
uit was made in various directions. Mr. Wil
son and Mr. William Askey got on the trail of
the thief, who had taken westward on the Erie
J'ike. Some miles on this side of Brookville
ft had tho animal shod and fed. lie then
went directly to Brookville, where he diverg-
t--from the Pike, but came on it again some
miles on the other side. On Sunday evening
e was seen fording the Clarion river, and on
Monday morning about daylight reached Mr
ffilliarn Hodgers, six or seven miles beyond
2:.s::a, Wnango county, where ho remain
d during the day, pretending to be sick. Mr.
Hodgers lives a short distance off tiie pike,and
tho pursuers passed the place. Fortunately,
liowever. a man who had seen the stolen ani
inal at 2tr. It's, foiud out what they were after,
and a messenger was sent after Mr. Wilson and
lV.e with l;ini,who returned, and several oth
ers joining them, they surrounded the house
The fellow tried to escape, anil running out of
the door, took to bis hecis, but was soon over
taken and captured bv Mr. Wilson. lie was
brought to this pl.ica and lodged in jail cn
Thursday evening. T'.i i nisrc is not injured,
w believe, by the severe riding.
A band or Gipsies had ben loitering along
It- read, and it is supposed they wets cogni
aant of the theft, and that, perhaps, the allcg-
d thief was connected wit'i them. lie had
wa enderstand, upon his person, a number of
keys, a gitublet, &c.
There is evidently a gang of horse-stealing
and counterfeiting scoundrels that are earn
ing on their operations iatliis county, and the
honest portion of the community is becoming
2jrravated to such a pitch that they will soon
taket!e law into their own hands and mete out
summary punishment to all villians who are
caught.
,. Ths Amesdments to the Constitution. In
Washington county the County Commission
ers !)' printed tickets for and against the
pauding amendments to the Constitution, ajid
will distribute them to the various toi;hips
Thi j V.e r isbt eourse, and it ought to be a
Jopted in every othor county. There is no
fairness in asking or expecting individuals to
bear this cx;.cnse. The people ought to be
supplied with tickets from some source ; and
there is no source so proper as the officers of
!;e people.
Caitio ! Look to your stovepipes, and
c that they are safely and properly secured.
3fsy destructive fires have originated through
a want of propsr attention in this matter, liie
eon i now approaching when stoves are in
reiuisHion,snd unless great cantion is observ
ed firca from "accident" may be of frequent
occurrence. A little extra care in putting up
stoves and pipes may be the moans of saving
much valuable property and even life.
As important improvement lias been made
cn route No. 3,479, Sinncmahoning to Snieth
port, by tho Postmaster General's order for
two additional weekly trips between Sinnema
honing and Shippen,which furnishes tri-week-ly
aerv ice over the enttro route, connecting
with the coach line from Lock Haven. -
Bkok its Neck. On last Friday", a fine
Mule which Gen. A. M. Ililli,of this borough,
fiad just purchased, jumped over' the manger,
ia the stable and fell in such a position'as to
break its neck and cause instant death. It
ws ob ef pair.worth about $400 ---.'
Accident. On Saturday a-week, a son of
Mr. John Waggoner, aged 1 . of Burnside tp.f
whilst adjusting tho strap of a threshing ma
chine when in motion, was caught by the arm
and thrown down ; his arm was broken in
several places, the flesh almost torn off it, and
he received several severe contusions about
the head and body. Drs. Bonn and M'Ewon,
of New Washington, wcro sent for, who found
t necessary to amputate the arm above the
elbow. The boy is doing well.
Look Oct ! There is a band of pretended
gipsies stolling about the country, who, it is
said, arc engaged in making and passing coun
terfeit gold coin. It is high time that strin
geut measures be adopted to get rid of the
scoundrels and horse thieves who aie prowling
about in every direction, and who are, doubt
less, assisted by persons whom the community
at large do not suspect.

CyThe present Mormon population of U

There have been some fluctuations in the pop

isj0,000.
C7One of the pests of a community is a
pretending christian who is given to gossip
and the retailing of scandal. Mrs. Blabb is
oiw of these. She gets horrified at the slight
est misstep of a neighbor. She keeps a sharj
eye on people generally, but young men in
particular, and woe to the poor wight who
fails to walk the "chalk line" of propriety.
She deems it her duty to tc 11 all her acquain
tanccs of his slightest deviations, and in her
zeal fails herself to respect the sanctuary and
the Sabbath, by engaging in her favorite oc
cupation on the church steps on the Lord's
Day. If the d-1 don't get such hypocrites,
he wou't get bis own, that's certain.

to the lake of Zurich to perform the ceremo
ny of baptism, were set upon by tho inhabi
