CLEARFIELD, PA., "NOV. 4, 1837.
Ma. Row. Dear sir: Believing your read-
ers arc interested in the success of the Sor
ghum or Chinese Sugar Cane, I send you the
result of an experiment which I made .this
season,, and I believe the only one in this part
of the county, which you may publish if you
see proper. - -
I planted a spot of ground in my lot, (which
is gravelly,) about the middle of June, in kills
as corn is usually planted, three feet apart each
way, and about four grains to the bill. About
the middle of October, when the first killing
frost came, 1 cut it., though it was not ripe,
the seed bad hardly began to change color.
Having no mill or press convenient, I cut a
bout two thirds of the largest part of the stalks
in pieces two or three inches in length, put
them in a large kettle, and extracted the sap
by boiling.
The ground planted contained two perches,
which produced above two hundred stalks of
the cane; and I had about two gallons thick
syrup, part of which I boiled down nearly to
the consistency of sugar, and which appears
to be fast granulating. It is now about equal
10 that in the bottom of a barrel of good sy
rup, and will weigh, probably, nine or ten
pounds. The syrup, about three quarts, in the
opinion of those who have tasted it, is equal
to the best syrup molasses in flavor.
The cane was about three-fourths of an inch
in diameter, and was not as ripe as it should
have been, on account of late planting '; but,
with all the disadvantages, the esperiiucnt
would be equal to one hundred and sixty gal
lons of syrup to the acre, and allowing one
half for expenses, would leave a better profit
than ordinary farming does in Clearfield.
Yours, D. S. Flotseu.

happen to fancy that an editor is less likely to
be in need t-f "ding-bats"' than you are, wo
will take the liberty of -correcting such an er
roneous notion. But, say you, the times arc
bnrd. Well, are they arc not just as hard for
us as they are for others ? There are scores of
persons who are indebted to us more or less,
:ind justiceto onrselves compels us to ask
them to pay us at least a portion of what is due
us. The approaching Couit will give many an
opportunity of attending to this matter. This
is addressed to onlv those who are in arrears.

fords us much pleasure to be able lo state that
the work on our railroad is still actively pro
gressing, and that at a meeting of the Direc

push the enterprise forward with all possible

least trouble in meeting their engagements.

Siioatisq Affair ix Chambers31rg, Fa.
On List Wednesday, Oct. 28th, Joseph and
Robert M'Kibben attacked Mr. Isaac Craig, of
Pittsburgh, as he was about getting out of the
carsat Clianibersburg.Fraiiklin county. Craig
is married to a daughter of Chamber M'Kibben,
and is charged with having seduced a deaf and
dumb sister of his wife, a year or so ago. lie
was takingbis little boy to see his mother, who
was in Chambersburg. One of the brothers,
Joseph M'Kibben, who is a Member of Con
gross elect from California, had arrived but a
few da3's previous, and the two determined to
bo revenged. When Craig appeared on the
platform of the ears they commenced firing
their revolvers at him. He retreated into the
cars, they following and still shooting. Find
ing he could do nothing in the car, Craig final
ly made a rush at Joseph, with a revolver.
He Ded, Craig' after him, and he followed by
Robert. ' After chasing each other around the
depot, and endangering the lives of many, they
were fiually separated by the cars starting oil
with Craig, who is seriously wounded. The
Railroad Company has indicted the M'Kibbins'
and Craig expresses himself gratified that be
will thus have an opportunity cf pioving him
self innocent of the charge.
Gift Book Sale. We direct attention to
the advertisement of G. G. Evans in another
part of our paper." Mr. Evans lias the reputa
tion cf dealinz fairly with those who patron
ize him. The purchaser gets a book worth
the money he pays, and stands a chance of
fretting with it a gift worth, perhaps, many
times the amount. The "gift" plan is a very
good way of disposing of many valuable and
useful books at moderate prices, and Mr. E
vans' catalogue is unusually attractive.
From Mexico. The steamship Tennessee
