may be preserved from hutching.

of tho season, Itoforo tho leave* have attain. :

' Ice houses have been m tinly d<*p?nidtt I 1
[ upon for litis purpose, but the results or nn 1
( experiment inudo by Aubnrt, manager of '
, the Royal Domainal Neudly, n?*ar Paris,
shows that* ailk worm eggs may bo kept 1
j two years, and perhaps for a much longer
t peri,m1, Wlthoht lK-lng subjected to a gtcau'r '
, degree of cold tliuii that which forms ' the
natural temjmrnruro or tho earth, namely.
| nbotu 66 >r 57 Puhrenheit. So that cel.
lar?, caves, ond wells from u hicli tho at.
mospheiic uir is excluded, will answer as
depositories for tho preservation of eggs
j us w< I), if not bettor, than icn houses.
Tito following is a condensed account
, of Aubert's exp-rimunts.*?Silk worm eggs,
obtained from moths in 1834, at the regular
' season, werti put into a sin .11 tin hdx which
r was thposiicJ in a ccller at Nouilly. Tito
. tempcra-uro of this col or during tho great*
b est |?cat of August IH35 never rose ubovo
11 Kcuntnuer. or 57 Fahrenheit, nor d:d
the eggs manifest tho slightest indication
j of hatching. Having remained in he; same
situation during another season, they were,
after a lapsu of ubotr 22 mon hs, brought
, out and hutchoJ hy C. Beauvis, under
whoso superintendence they w?*re reared
' with tho most perfect success.
t 'Tho result of this experiment makes us
. acquainted with some highly interesting and
* useful facts. It demonstrates ftlearly liiat
I silk worm eggs require a temperature Ivgh.
or than lhat met with in the earth at the
^ ordinary depths of cellars and wells, to give
j tli'-m tliu ha ching muvetnetit, and consef
queihly go* s to show that the preservation
s of s Ik worm egog can probably be more
L s?f ly effected in cellars properly adapted
f for the purpose, ill-m in ice houses. Th> an
last are not always within the reach of per*
, sons engaged in reatiug silk worm*, where.
? as almost every one can have access to a.
suitable cellar, cuve, or diy well.
The place where th?* eggs are deposited
i should be clos'-d or cut off*so us to prevent
cib circu'uuon ui i s air wii ell will thus ?lw;iy*
Remain nlthn lempcrulnre of tho surrounding
earth. A thcrmomcer placed
' near (lie eggs should be examined occasi. '
i onully in tho wurin s< ason, lo nsccrtain
, wlicth it llie temperature kept suflicienly
I low. Il will hot do to trust to tho feelings
for this purpose, ok n place may feel siifltj
ciently cool, whilst it is actually warm enough
to c <use tho eggs to hatch out. To
i insure success the thermometer should nev,
er t?? above 50 or 57. Tlio eggs having
once puss1 d through their hybernation, a
very short exposure to warmth will twita
\ the baching movement, so that handling or
j- breathing upon the vessels containing diem,
I should ho avoided as much its possible.
Inpssrrting that silk worm eggs may be
' prevented fiom hatching, if kept uta temperature
not exceeding 07 Fahrenheit, some
explanation may be necessary, especially to
those who, in their attempts ut preservation,
have had tho eygs to hatch in vessels almost I
f not directly in Contact tVith ice. The <
eggs designed to be kept from hatching must j
bo deposited in the situation where they are
to remain, oitlier previous to winter, or at <
1 least some time before its close. This tvll i
1 prevent them from starting or getting a I
tendency to hatchfor if this handling move>
m -nt ever commoners, the worms must be t
) suffered to come out at the natural period, J
, and any attempts lo restrain tli-mfrow do- .

S.Ik worm eggs imported from Europe last <
winter and spring, generally turned out *
i very unfuvorubly with those who attempted I
|o preserve them for lute feeding tho past C
t season. Tho reason of thi -umy doubti

t> It was announced in pari ni the edition of our
last week's paper that the \VI114J National j
: Convention at Hairisburg had nominated j,
^ Gen. Win. li. Harrison of Ohio for the Presi.
p duncy. At the first balloting,- Mr. Clay had ^
a pluralty of votes ; but many of his riends
* learning that the whole s'repglh of the Whig v
party could not be carried for him in either
New York or Pennsylvania determined on that <f
account after son** days, to vote for Hat risen.
, On the final ballott, Gen. Harrison had 120 *
* voles, Mr. Clay 90 and Gen. Scott ltt. The 8
Convention then by unanimous vote passed a J'
resolution rec< nuhending G>-n. Harrison; c
* Mr. Tyler of Virginia, was unsnimously
'* chosen as the candidate for the Vicu Presi'
dency, on the first ba loiing. Tlie delegates u
' from Virginia d'-clined voting on this question, h
not from opposition to I lie person in nomina. $
tion, but because they found th t the only 0
. person spoken of was a citizen of their own a
t state. Gov. Barbour, of Virginia was Prcsi- c
? dent of the Convention.
