The Maple Si-gar Chop. The State of
N 'W York produces more sugar than any
other State in the Union except Louisi ma.
The estimate of the maple sugar production
of that State for the present year is twenty
millions of pounds, which is valued at two
millions and a half of dollars. The maple
sugar crop for the whole Union is estimated
at 68.500,000 pounds, worth $8. 562,500,
or very nearly equal to one-half the product
from the sugar cane in the United States
last year. The increased price of sugar has
stimulated this production, which, duiihg
the very low prices of sugars from 1 850 to
1854, had caused the manufacture of maple
sugar to fall off to almost nothing.
A western editor, whose subscribers
complained very loudly that he did not
give them news enough for their money.
!o'd them that if they did not find enough
in the paper, they had better read the Bible,
which, he had no doubt, would be news to
them.

unmolested, "Jeff'' says, that he, being a
dark mulatto, with stiaight hair, assumed
to be an Indian, and when asked if he was
not a "gentleman of color," indignantly
resented it as an insult, and put on airs
that soon quieted all suspicion as to the true
state of his case. No sooner, however,
had "Jiff"" landed at our depot, than he
made tracks for protection to the Messrs.
Wallace, of our city, who knew him well,
ami to whom, in his old master's life, he
had delivered many a wagon load of
roarrtry produce. To these gentlemen, in
our presence, he stated a'l the foregoing
f icts, and declared that all he wanted or
d,-sired was to reach the plantation of his
young master, Mr T. J. Waters, of
Gwinnett, so as to be permitted for the
bilaneeof his life either fo handle the
plough, or to take up the shovel and the

the liberated slaves in Liberia as soon as

not actually visited Lib. r a and examined
into the condition of those people. Jeff
says, with but very few exceptions, their
condition is miserable indeed, and that
ninety-nine out of everv hundred of thein
would, like himself, gladly return fo servi

tives of Liberia, he pronounced them lazy,
filthy, and, in their diet, worse than beasts
worms and snakes and toads, and creep-ino-
things, being luxuries. Corn bread
and bacon were things only remembered :

"you know, master," Jeff, "that don't suit
a Georgia nigger." We asked him if he
could get work there; his reply was, "no:
unless he would work for nothing." In
fact, said he, there is no work to do there,

of a chair made entirely of elk antlers, and
designed as a present to James Buchanan
President of the United States. It was
made in the northern part of Humboldt
county California, by Seth Kinman, a
hunter, who had arrived with it in Sau
Francisco, en route for Washington. It is
mainly composed of f mr massive buck horns
with the antlers branching appropriate

The feet are original ; instead of taking old

CURIOSITIES OP SLEEP.
In Turkey, if a person fidU asleep in the
neighborhood of a poppy field, and the wind
blows over towards him. he becomes gradu
ally narcotized and would die if the country
people, who are well acquainted with the
circumstance, did not bring him to the next
well or stream, and empty pitcher after
pitcher of water on his face and body. Dr.
Appenheiin, during his residence in l uraey,
owed his life to this simple and efficaoious
treatment. Dr. Graves, from whom this
anecdote is quoted, also reports the case of
a gentleman thirty years of age, who from
long continued sleepiness, wiis reduced to
a complete living skeleton, unable to stand
on his legs. It was partly owingto the disease
but chiefly to the abuse of mercury and
opium ; until at last, unable to pursue hi
business, he sank into abject poverty and
woe. Dr. Reid mentions a friend of his,
who, whenever anything occurred to dis
tress him, soon became drowsy and fell
asleep. A fellow student also at Edinburg,
upon bearing suddenly the unexpected death
of a near relative, threw himself in his bed
and almost instantaneously, amid the glare,
of noonday, sunk into a profound slumber.
Another person aloud to one of his dearest
friends stretched on his death bed, fell fast
asleep, and with the book still In hand, went
on reading utterly unconscious of what ho
was doing. A woman at Hamadt slept
seventeen or eighteen hours a day for fifteen
years. Another is recorded to have slept
once four days. Dr. Macnish mentions a
woman who spent three-fourth of her life
in sleep, and Dr. Elliottson quotes case
of a yonng lady who slept for fix weeks
and recovered. The venerable St. Augus
tine of Hippo prudently divided his hours
into three .arts, eight to be devoted to
sleep, eight to recitutions eight to converse
with the world. Maniacs are reported par
ticularly in the eastern hemisphere, to be
come furiously vigilant during the full of
the moon, more especially when the de
inrioratintr rays of its polarized light is per
mitted to fall into their apartment, hence
tbe name lunatics. There certainly is
greater proneness to disease during sleep
than in the waking state, for those who pass
the night in the Campagne du Roma inevi
tably becomo infected with its noxious air ;
whilo travellers who go through without
stopping escape the miasma. Intense cold
produces sleep, and those who perish In
the snow, sleep on till they sleep the sleep
of death.

Beware 1 Youm Gentlemen. In a
recent breach of promise case in New York,
the Judge charged that "it is not neceaaaiy
that there should be a promise of marriage
in direct phraseology no formal promise is
required. Frequent vists of the parties
retiring from the society of others seeking
to be apart by thetnselvei expressions of
attachments presents going together to
place . of amusement walks and occasional
remarks in hearing of others are circtistan
ces usually relied upon to prove that a
marriage engagement exists, and if such are
strong enough to produce conviction upon
the mind, they are all that is necessary to
answer the law."
