equal to one sixth of ihoc.no product. And this

cure be paid to this imcreeti. g manufacture, a l arge
increase could icndily ho obtained. It requires thir
ty pounds of sugar lo supply each individual,
young and old, iu tho United fetaic. Already
Michigan furnishes ten pounds for each individual
in the state. The Detroit editor, on the sul jeel
oflhe sugar maple, says; "The resources of Mi
chigan making a sufficient quantity of sugar, not
only for consumption, but fir exports to our sister
states in quanlilic of millions of pound, is tin
tlouhtrd, ben we eons'nb r that we have 30,000,000
of acres of land in our slate which abounds w ith
maple sugar, which is not only a profitable tiec for
sugar, but it affords most agreeable molasses, and
un excellent vim gar." According to the usual
profit of a sugar nutplo tree, it is worth to the far
mer from two to lliTce dollais, and it is to bo hoped
that Ihe m-rlei, in clearing his lands, will tare the
ina k. On a farm of SOU acies, in the sugar maple
districts of Michigan, there ore from 0 11140 trees
to the ncre, and in two hundred acres we find C00O,
If only 2000 of them were suffered to remain, and
each tree niToided 5 pounds of sugar the ai.nual profit
of the faim in sugai alone, at 7 cents per pound,
would be 550 dollars, in addition to the allotting
150 lo defray the expenses of making it. The
editor adds that it will be in ihe power of Michigan
in 1850, with proper attention to this subject, in
the produc'ion of sugar, to stand next to Louisiana.
It appears fiom this very important statement,
that the maple is a most valuable tree, and that it
may justly be placed along side of the cane in it
product. For ourselves, we can hardly conceive
any thing more interesting than a grovo of these
inapbs, supplying its owner with a most beautiful
sugar, ford iinrst c u-esand for exportation.
(ireen county, Wisconsin Territory, supplies the
whole population with a very excellent sugar, from
the maple. There are many first rate orchards in
Wisconsin.
The State of Indiana has any quantity of sugar
mnplcs growing within her limits. S?o iu the West
generally, Pennsylvania has a large quantity of
these trees mid makes good sugar. The farmers
every where should pay strict attention to the pre
servation of tho sugar maple. The late Dr. Kush,
many years ago, wrote an excellent paper upon the
impoitancu of this tree. American Sentinel.

The manufacture of tea, is carried on to a great

We find in a late English paper on account of a
trial of Edward Glover, on a ciiargo for having in

a great portion was bung ubout fur drying, for

cessary slotes and utensils. They immediately
gave notice to Government of the result of tht it in

general of excise was otjered to make a further ex
amination. Mr. Dird stated be leceit d possession
of eight sacks of the rubbish, which was so line an
imitation of lea that at fust fright any person would
have eupposed it to be the genuine article.
On testing a sample from each sack, he found
the whole to bo composed of blackthorn, and fern
leaves. Mr. lSird produced eight samples of thestull
and mixed tbein with puic tea to the extent of one
half of each. Mr. Llird ol served lliul be would con

Discovery among the Mars.
M. Dessell, a German Astronomer, has made ono
of the greatest discoveries, of modern limes, by hav
ing ascertained Ihe parallax of the doublo star Gl
Cygni, He found, from repeated observations,
made from August, 1837, to March, 1640, that ihe
psrull x of a Cygni did not exceed 31 hundtcths
of a second, which places the distance of that star
from us at nearly C70.0C0 times that of Ihe sun, or
which is nearly 61 millions of millions of miles, (or
more nearly C3,(i50,(itiO,000 miles.) This im.
menco distance can belter be conceived when we
slate, that if a cannon bull were to Iraveise this
vast spare at the rate of 20 miles a minute, it would
occupy more than C.000,000, years in coming fiom
that star to our earth ; and if a body could be pio
jected from our earth to 61 Cygni, at lliiity miles
an hour, (which is about the same rate as carriages
on r.iilrouds tiavel,) it would occupy at least llG,
900,000 years. Light, which travels more than II,

Anthracite Iron.
We were pleased to see, while travelling !n Ihe
packet lute from Harrisburg to Northumberland a
few days since, a great number of boats laden with
anthracite iron from Columbia county, on its way
to market. This iron is, we believe, nearly all con
signed to New York, where we presume it will be
extensively used in the fine large c.istings that are
now making for the magnificent steam ships about
to be con.atiucted in that port. For that purpose it
is superior lo any other, as it has been found, by re
peated experiments, to possess more tenacity and
strength than iron smelted by charcoal. We trust
some enterprising capitalist will soon undertake to
make the iron T rails for rail road from the same
mrt.il. Nothing would be morn important to the
interests of Pennsylvania, and lo the whole Union.
It would save millions that are annually sent out of
the country, for what wo could produce at home,
and give employment to our people.
liiilcd States Bank.
A meeting of the stockholders of the t. S. Bank
took place on Tuesday last, for the purpose of ta

of the bank, and what course ibey should pursue in
relation to the late act of Assembly, by which the
bank, by placing itself under certain restrictions, is
placed upon the same footing with the ether banks
of tho stale. The stockholders, it seems, have agreed
te place the institution under the control of the lo
gislatuic, in relation to any law that they may enact
fur the purpose of regulating the banks. This is a
surrender of an important privilege, without which,
Mr. Diddle and the directors positively refused to
accept the charter of the present bank in 183G. The
following are the resolutions adopted by the mee

"Whereas, by the seventeenth section of an acl

by a resolution adopted at any general or adjourn

duly certified to the Governor under their corporate
seal, consent to bj subject to any general laws to be

Dear Sir: The Western Mail, this eflcrnoon,
brings us the mortifying news that the war is not
over yet. On the afternoon of the 3d inst, a citizen
was shot near FortTarver, by the Indians: ho was
penetrated by three balls i yesterday morning he
was still alive, and said he saw two oflhe Indians
when they fired. Tho troops at Micanopy, at soon
as the news arrived, were instantly put in motion,
lo drive these daring marauders from their present
haunts near the settlements. It is supposed this
outrage was done by Allecktusteennggee's band,
who has lately refused lo come in to Tampa Bay or
negociate leaving it to be infened be intends to be
hostile.
The Western Trade.
The Fort Wayne (Indiana) Times says, We
were gratified tho other doy lo see one of the Trans
portation Companies' freight boats come, loaded to
the water's surface with bacon, nicely packed in
largo tierces, marked for 'Philadelphia.' We learn
ed that it was taken on at Lagro, nnd thai the ow
ner has about 800 tons at different points down the
Wabash, for the same destination. This is the be
ginning of an immense poik and bacon trade, that
will spring up in northern Indiana as fast as tho
resources oflhe country can be developed. Tito
years ago our mnrket was supplied with bacon by
wagons from Ohio.

The Pittsburg Guzcite says, "Tho steam and

Cut and Ohio Canals; thence to be disttibutod in
various directions. Some going on to Cleaveland
and the northwest, others going south and west ; a
very considerable amount has been lent to Massil

An institution thus situated, is at best no very pro
misiug we think it altogether promising sou re.

less ought it to be trusted when it puts its promise
in so improper a shape as that of Post Notes."
