WANTED.—A gentleman wants a furnished
room centrally located, Address REX, this
oflice, with terms and location.
The remains of little Indian papooses are
being exhumed from the Poorhouse farm.
One was dug up last week with very curious
stone ornaments about the neck. The bodies
are all found in a sitting posture and covered
with a layer of charcoal aud flat stones laid
in an arch ovor the grave.
The following is clipped from the Wells
boro Agitator. Has Bradford been imposed
upon in the same manner by the State author
ities ?
We have here an item which w'll interest
all the taxpayers in this county. For a num
ber of y ars the State authorities have been
in the habit of charging Tioga county with a
4| certain sum 10 be assessed and collected as a
State tax. In 1878 the Commissioners came
to the.conclusion that the assessment was il
legal in form and entirely too high. The
time having passed for an appeal, the tax
was paid over to the State—under protest,
however. In 1879 a similar assessment was
made on this county from which the Com
missioners made an appeal and refused to pay
a portion of the sum demanded, amounting
to $1,101.89. The assessment for 1880 was
also appealed from. Proceediuars were com
menced against the Commonwealth to recov
er the overpayment for 1878 and for an ad
justment of the claim for 1879. Under the
date of April sth the Commissioners were
advised by the Auditor General that a decis
ion had been made in favor of this county,
and that they were entitled to recover the
sum of $2,203.34 from the State Treasury.
This speaks well for the prudence and careful
oversight of our county otlieials.
Somebody, THOMAS JOHNSON, the Elmira
watchmaker we presume, has been enjoying
• the fun of seeing maple sugar made in this
county and thus relates his experience in the
Elmira Advertiser:
"Are you posted by experience in the vari
ous mysteries of the "Sugar bush," and re
sultant sweets? If not 1 pity you, and de
plore the circumstances preventing the recall
from "memory's hall" of its excitement and
pleasure, the lack of which makes one more
"green oasis" in the monotany of life. To
realize the full text of its enjoyment several
things must be granted, to-wit, an invitation,
a large "bush," pleasant weather, plenty of
flap and a jollv crowd to "kinder help along"
and keep things moving. In the case of our
party the requirements were more than filled
as the invitation came from one of the many
whole-souled, large-acred farmers of old
Bradford county, Pa. Arriving at the scene
of action the first work,—which of course
with us was fun,—was to go through the
bush with horses attached to a sleigh, on
which are barrels, tubs, pails. &c., to hold
the sap, which is gathered from pails attach
ed to the "bleedingsides of monarch maples."
With a full load we proceed to the boiling
down or evaporating pans, which are not as
of yore, in the bush away from all comforts,
but in a building for the purpose, hard by
the house where the boiling-down commenc
es, and is kept un for hours until our load of
"sweet water" is reduced to ten or fifteen
gallons of miraculous syrup, which is drawn
Off, strained and left to cool oyer night.
Morning finds all bands ready for "sugar
fug off." The syrup is returned to the pans,
a slow lire kept up, and while it boils, sizzes
and fizzes in its transformation, assisted by
fltirring, the white of eggs, etc., the eager
by-standers with saucers and spoons take fre
quent dips, which, cooled in snow, makes,
oh!! such luscious eating, which one seemes
never to get sufficient of. The final test—all
too soon, however, for our pleasure—comes
in about an hour, when by "good authority,"
the mass is pronounced "maple sugar,"ready
for the molds, when presto change, in a few
hours 'tis weighed, and we find a realistic
seventy-five or eighty pounds of "the finest,"
a sample bar of which accept herewith.
The Foremen of Cos. 1, 2 and 3 are request
ed to report at their Engine Houses, Thurs
day, at 1 p. in., with their respective compa
nies. for the purpose of testing a portion of
the hydrants of water-works.
